Once Quinn had finished his turn speaking, the room was deathly silent. So much so that one could even hear the draft coming in through the small gap under the door. No one moved an inch, no shuffling of the feet or anything for fear it would make some noise.
The reason why? It was because of the words and tone that Quinn had used when speaking to the Vampire King. Bryce was a man that was well respected even before he had become King. The leaders like Muka who disliked him, even they had always respected him as the First leader.
He was organised, strong, and cared for the vampire settlement. Now that he was King, respect wasn't just expected but demanded. Some would even go as far to say that Bryce had earned the respect by being elected for the position.
But with Quinn, there were no fluff words like 'your Majesty' or beating around the bush. He was direct, to the point where Quinn may have come across as arrogant by speaking as if he was above him.
