Chapter 354: 354
When a meeting between the vampire council members would be called, all of the thirteen leaders from thier castles would have to go and travel to the main castle . The main castle was where the current vampire king or queen resided .
Inside, near the top floor, but not quite at the very top was the meeting room . Once a month, the leaders would meet up to discuss current matters or affairs .
Outside of the regular meetings, an emergency meeting could be called as well . Only if there was something that needed to be reported to everyone would they meet up . On this very day, a meeting had been called .
This was the second emergency meeting that had been called within such a short time frame, and the tensions were high .
Inside the room, there were thirteen chairs equal in size spread across the table . Behind each seat a flame which burnt bright and strong .
Currently, all if the chairs were filled with thier leaders and one of their vampire knights by thier side . All of them apart from one . The tenth seat .
Most of the room was dominated by men most looked old while a couple looked young, but it was impossible to tell the real age of any . Two of the seats were filled with female leaders as well .
Besides these thirteen chairs at either end of the table, thier were two larger chairs . One Chair slightly bigger than the other, at this moment both of these chairs were empty as well .
Sitting at the first Chair near the top of the table was the first leader, an older gentlemen than the rest . Vampires at the Lord level often had great control over thier bodies . They could choose when to slow down thier ageing process . Most at the table had chosen to keep thier appearance of that of slightly older middle-aged men . Yet for some reason, the first leader preferred an aged look .
He was bald up top, but his facial hair was heavy around his face going down to his colour bone, all white in clour . Other than this, his forehead that seemed to always be in a prominent V shape were his most distinctive features . On top of this, the old man would never seem to leave without his trendy black slim walking stick by his side .
However, he never used the walking stick to walk, but kept it by his side as if his life depended on it . When the king wasn't present, it was his duty to be in charge . He still only had equal power as the rest of the thirteen, but in order for things to proceed more smoothly, the first leader was placed with this position .
The others didn't mind this, as the first leader was the oldest and seemed to be the most knowledgeable out of the rest .
Once everyone was seated, he banged his walking stick three times across the floor to signal the meeting would begin, and the room fell silent .
"I Bryce Cain, leader of the first seat, will now begin this meeting . This meeting has been called by the 13th seat leader of the Sanguinis family Lee . " The old man said . "I hope you all know that the king is still resting and will not be attending this meeting . Unless a matter can not be agreed upon, there will be no need to call him . Now please, Lee, explain to us why this meeting was called?"
"Rather then explain this matter, I would like to bring them In, If I may," Lee asked, to which Bryce responded with a nod .
The doors to the room opened, and in came, Silver, Fex and Peter who was now officially in a black set of handcuffs . They seemed to be made form the same material as the buildings .
While they walked into the room, Lee tried to look at the other leaders to see if there was a reaction from one of them .
'Hm, they all have pretty good poker faces, maybe they don't know what he has committed . '
With no reaction, Lee had no choice but to continue .
"Recently I was tipped off from our agents that there was something strange going on at earth . As you all know, my son Fex is young and was soon to have his ceremony to turn into a vampire noble . I thought this would be a good opportunity to send him out on the field . In case there were any mistakes, Silver was sent out after him as well .
"When they arrived at thier location, Fex my son seemed to have discovered a White . You should all know where this is going . Other than vampires part of the part A category, all subclasses are to remain here . Which means, an illegal was created . My son has successfully captured the illegal . " Lee said, pointing at Peter .
The others looked at Peter carefully, it was clear he was a vampire and a young one at that . Youngsters, when being turned, would rarely ever turn straight into vampires for they didn't have the power . So he must have belonged to one of the twelve there they thought .
But when Bryce looked at him closer, he felt strange . Even though this was a serious matter, it was clear that the vampire boy was unafraid .
"You all know why this is a serious matter, first off it wasn't reported . Even if a leader created a vampire in our current situation, they should report it immediately . Every family is allowed a maximum of fifteen hundred members, and last time I checked, every family is at its maximum amount . If this vampire was creating illegals, who knows they could even be creating more and perhaps planning another uprising . "
After Lee had said this, the twelve leaders started to mumble amongst themselves .
"An uprising, again . This would be a serious matter, indeed . " One leader said .
"The family who has allowed this vampire to be unruly must be punished . " Another said .
*CLACK *CALCK *CLACK
Once again, Bryce banged his walking stick on the ground three times, bringing order to the room .
"Wheather or not it's a serious matter is undecided . Do not speak so freely about an uprising . An investigation shall be made into the family that this vampire belongs to . It might just be a stray that has done its own thing, but just to be sure we shall check thoroughly .
"Now to save us all time, does anyone care to admit who this vampire in the room belongs to . If you have nothing to hide, then only the vampire shall be punished . "
The leaders started to look up and down the table, waiting for one person to be called out . The leaders didn't remember every vampire member in thier family and they didn't have a connection with all of them . In the families, about fifty of them would be connected to the actual leader in some way, and learn the families unique ability . While the rest of the vampires would simply work for the families .
The reason why Bryce had made the suggestion was from the feeling he was getting, he could tell that the vampire was quite a strong one for being so young . It made him believe that the vampire had to be close to the leaders, and if so, even if they didn't know what he looked like, they would have felt a connection being this close to him right now .
"Damn it, you fools!" Lee said in anger . "This is a serious matter, and you are only wasting our time . "
"It is as lee said . Very well, there is one way to find out, bring the boy to me . " Bryce said, and Silver brought Peter along with her, directly to the first seat, allowing Peter to stand opposite the old man .
Fex watching this new precisely what the old man planned to do .
'It won't work . ' Fex thought .
The old man looked into Peter's eyes, and his started to glow .
"Tell us, which family do you belong to?"
Everyone in the room was sat at the edge of thier seats waiting for an answer but after a few moments . There was nothing, Peter didn't reply and remained silent .
Bryce tried again in case something was wrong, he looked into his eyes and said the same words .
"Tell us, it's an order of the council . Which family do you belong to!" He shouted, getting frustrated, but Peter didn't flinch nor did he reply .
"But how is this possible?" One of the leaders said .
Mumbling between them all began and started again, and the only one in the room who knew the answer was Fex .
What the first leader attempted to do, was use his Charm skills to force the information out of him . One's power would have to be far greater for this to work, and usually, it would work against a vampire that hadn't even reached the noble level . Which was why everyone was so shocked .
But Peter wasn't a vampire, he was a Wight an undead . Mind control, sleeping, paralysis all these things didn't work on an undead . The only one that would be able to force information out of him, was his creator .
However, to Bryce this only angered him further . There were a few methods to block this mind control from working, and only another leader would know such a method . In his mind, it was clear that someone was trying to hide this information and to do this and go this far, they would have had a direct connection with the family .
"Fine . " Everyone, we shall gather downstairs in one of the training halls . "If I can't force the information out of you, then we shall beat it out of you . I'm warning you now, when I find out who this vampire belongs to they shall be in serious trouble . "
