Chapter 97 The Duke of Blood
Kyle glanced at Lawrence. His scarlet eyes were devoid of any human emotion. He said coldly, "Not everyone is qualified to receive my blood."
What he meant was that, apart from Lawrence Leopold, whom he personally converted, he looked down upon everyone else.
These words, which seemed to be a recognition of his bloodline, made Lawrence very excited. His dark eyes instantly became like torches that were lit up, so red that it was blinding. Then he knelt down on one knee in front of Kyle with a trembling body, making the same gesture of submission as the others, and said in a high voice: "Thank you very much for your recognition, my dear father!"
He didn't say anything flattering, but the enthusiasm in his tone fully proved how much he respected the blood prince who gave him a new life, and he believed that he would be loyal to him in the future.
Only then did Kyle raise the corners of his lips in satisfaction, revealing a genuine smile.
After a 'heart-warming' performance of father-son love, the transformation of Wesley Taylor and Stephanie Ashley came to the final moment.
Human blood is drawn out and then injected into the blood of a vampire, which is the pure blood of the vampire clan. This process is not pleasant. If the two were still alive, they would have collapsed and screamed.
But it is not easy for a corpse to endure such torture. The two men's deathly pale bodies couldn't stop twitching and twisting, their limbs twitching wildly, twisting into a state that was unacceptable to humans, and then with the gradual injection of Lawrence's blood, the twisted bodies stiffened again.
The whole process was like a puppet being toyed with by a child, with its limbs twisted and turned into a monster, and then restored to a human being in an instant.
This time Debra really couldn't bear it anymore. Her eyes rolled back, her body remained in a kneeling position, and her mind was completely blank. Her father Hermann, her eldest brother Hubert, and her second brother Theodore, who were beside her, did not faint, but their conditions were not much better. They were covered in cold sweat, and their coats were soaked through three or four layers of dresses. Their faces were almost as pale as those of the Taylors.
In fact, apart from their family, the conditions of other guests were almost the same. Many ladies had already fainted, with their heads hung low, their eyes rolled back, and their expressions dull. The men's suits were basically all soaked, and looked like they were about to drip.
If it were summer now, the high temperature would make the smell unimaginable.
However, Kyle and Lawrence did not have the time to deal with these lowly mortals who were not even lower-class blood servants. The Taylors' transformation had been completed, and they were adapting to their new life.
The newly transformed vampires are irrational at first, and only after their first meal can they barely regain their human sanity. At this time, the father of the transformed person will generally prepare sufficient blood and food for his offspring to ensure their healthy development.
Lawrence doesn't have to worry too much today, as the hall is full of "food" for the couple to enjoy.
It is worth noting that vampires of this period have no concept of ethics and family affection. They will not be unable to bite someone just because they think the person in front of them is their relative. Therefore, every time someone is transformed into a vampire, it often causes irreparable harm, and such tragedies directly cause the newly transformed vampire to be completely severed from their human identity.
Satisfied with the aura around them, Lawrence gave the order: "Go, dear Wesley and Mrs. Stephanie, enjoy your first meal."
After receiving the order, the two newborn vampires, who had been hungry and thirsty for a long time, rushed out like lightning, pounced into the crowd and began to eat frantically.
'Gulp', 'Gulp', 'Gulp'
The sound of blood being swallowed was simply maddening, and those who were still awake in the hall were about to faint. They stared at the Duke and his wife who were in a state of bestiality, their eyes filled with fear that was overwhelming them. Would it be their turn soon? Are there enough people in the hall to feed them? Will I be lucky enough to escape?
Now this group of top people in the country, those who control the politics and economy of Country F, no one is worried about the future of the country. All they care about is their own life and death.
They no longer have the leisure to think about what the birth of the vampires will bring to the world and the country, and they can't even think about their own families.
The selfish nature of human beings is fully demonstrated at this moment.
Time passed by at a snail's pace, and people had never felt time was so unbearable. Finally, after the Taylors drained more than a dozen people, the massacre stopped.
Wesley and Stephanie, covered in blood, slowly regained consciousness. The madness in their eyes faded away, and their scarlet pupils became clear, transparent, and beautiful like the finest rubies.
Of course, no one thinks the hunter's eyes are pretty. If they accidentally look at each other, they will just try to avoid it and look away, for fear that they are not full and will bite them if they catch them.
"......"
"......"
Wesley Taylor and Stephanie Ashley looked at each other with bitter smiles. The blood in their mouths that had tasted so sweet a moment ago suddenly became extremely disgusting, and the aftertaste made them feel nauseous.
Unfortunately, after becoming a vampire, human emotions gradually fade away, and the influence of human society's ethics and laws becomes smaller and smaller. The only thing in the heart is closeness to the same race and heartfelt respect for the upper class.
After a while, the two of them no longer cared about everyone's fear. They just looked at the blood on their bodies with a bit of disgust. It was really rude to stand in front of the two masters like this.
So the two of them stood far away, bowed slightly to Kyle and Lawrence, and said respectfully: "Your Highness and Father, please allow us to go and tidy up our clothes. This appearance is not in line with our status."
"Go ahead," Lawrence Leopold agreed, and added, "You can still call me as you always do. You don't have to call me father."
"Yes, Your Highness Lawrence. Then, we will take our leave for now."
Bowing again, the newly crowned vampire duke Wesley took his wife Stephanie to the living room at the back of the castle. Fortunately, they had originally chosen to hold the party in their own castle, which now made it convenient for them to thoroughly tidy up their appearance.
After leaving the hall at a speed that was beyond human control, the surviving guests breathed a sigh of relief. Although the threat had not been completely eliminated, at least they had some buffer time.
The people who were still kneeling on the ground in silence and still awake began to pray silently that the prince and His Royal Highness Lawrence, who had gained two capable subordinates, would be merciful and spare these innocent people.
Lawrence glanced over everyone's heads lightly, and he was fully aware of their childish mentality of taking chances. However, if he had not been concerned about not being rude in front of his father, he would have sneered out loud. What kind of ignorance and arrogance is this? After witnessing their actions, he still wanted to get away with it completely. When did such a good thing happen in the world?
Not wanting to waste time talking to these idiots, Lawrence directly said to Kyle, "Dear Father, I ask that you grant these lucky guests the highest honor and allow them to become our fellow tribesmen, so as to expand the size of our blood clan."
Kyle didn't agree or reject his proposal. He asked curiously, "What are your plans for the future?"
If I didn't have a plan in mind, I wouldn't have wasted so much blood here. If I wanted to deal with this group of witnesses, I could just move my fingers. There's no need to spend all this effort. You have to know that Lawrence has just transformed into a vampire. Even if he is a pure-blood king, he can't afford such "expenditure".
Lawrence raised his head slightly and looked directly at Kyle, his eyes full of ambition. He replied in an extremely fanatical tone: "Although the identities and status of these guests are not as noble as the Taylors and I, they also control half of the lifeline of Country F. As long as we reincarnate them all into the same race, then half of Country F's territory will directly become ours."
"In this way, we can directly announce the establishment of the Blood Clan Empire!"
Lawrence couldn't help but wave his hands slightly in excitement, and shouted excitedly: "Then we can spread the reputation of the blood clan to the whole world! Let those extremely hypocritical holy priests be punished!"
Although he spoke so passionately, Kyle looked uninterested, and there was not a ripple in his lazy eyes. However, he still expressed his support for Lawrence's plan. After all, he chose him before just to watch the show. Now this development can be regarded as barely satisfying his wishes.
"You can do whatever you want. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, Kyle disappeared in front of Lawrence without waiting for Lawrence to react. He had told Lawrence before that the world had changed so much after he woke up that he needed to travel around and see the world. The reason why he followed Lawrence to the banquet at Taylor's house was because Lawrence strongly invited him, saying that he wanted him to keep an eye on his two subordinates.
He followed because he was curious. Now that his men have completed their transformation, he no longer wants to continue watching this boring drama. He was tired of seeing humanity's hopeless wailing and struggles eight hundred years ago.
Respectfully watching Kyle leave, Lawrence did not ask about his destination. Anyway, as long as his empire was established and the blood clan was developed and strengthened, his dear father would naturally come back to check on the situation.
He slowly turned around, looking down at the crowd kneeling and crawling on the ground, and his eyes began to radiate a captivating light. He opened his mouth slightly, revealing two sharp fangs, then licked his bloodless lips with his tongue, silently declaring: The hunt has begun.
After the announcement, he pounced on the guests like lambs to be slaughtered and started slaughtering people in the crowd.
The splattered blood was not wasted. All of it was controlled by Lawrence and flew towards his body. He had just consumed a lot of his own blood in order to transform the two vampire dukes, Wesley and Stephanie. Now he had to transform so many people into lower-level vampires, so he had to replenish his blood first.
Not long after Kyle left, the Taylors returned to the hall at the speed of perverted vampires. They were not surprised by the purgatory-like scene in the hall. They just stood on the edge of the dance floor, quietly waiting for Lawrence to finish.
Lawrence didn't let them wait long. A few minutes later, he completely killed hundreds of people on the dance floor.
He stopped at the center, adjusted his cuffs elegantly, and said to the couple, "I'll leave the Morin family to you. They are barely qualified to be your descendants. As for the others, I will convert them all into the lowest barons."
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness Lawrence."
