"Ten Thousand 10 Star beasts…
What is the Bloodheart House planning?"
A man with long white hair, red eyes, and a pale face with feminine features spoke with a calm look on his face. From outside, this man looked harmless, gentle, and kind, even his voice seemed to calm one's soul and was soothing to hear,
However, people who knew this man's identity knew the truth.
He was a Peak Divine Stage Cultivator, the King of the Blood Kingdom, and the Strongest Being in the entire Blood Continent, Alaric Sky.
He was a man who was feared by the enemies of the Blood Kingdom and loved by beings who supported the Blood Kingdom.
Alaric was the backbone of the Blood Kingdom, and this backbone was so strong that the Blood Kingdom looked invincible.
In the entire Yrniel, leaving the Dragon Lord aside, no one dared to face Alaric in a one-on-one battle, and that is when Alaric was fighting under the sun.
When it came to fighting underground, where the sun couldn't reach, Alaric automatically became the Strongest in the entire World, with no one stepping up to challenge him.
This man's existence alone made the Blood Kingdom the safest place in the entire world, that is of course, if you are supported by this main.
"As I said, the Bloodheart House made a promise."
The man standing next to Alaric, Orpheus, replied.
"Orpheus, I won't beat around the bush, you are a smart man, you know the consequences of your actions. For you to still come to me even after that, I need to know the reason why you are doing this, and your plan to avoid these consequences." Alaric walked towards the window and spoke.
"She is willing to help,"
Orpheus replied.
Hearing those words, Alaric turned around and glanced at Orpheus with a slightly surprised look on his face,
"Is this something Melia or Lazarus wants?"
He questioned.
"It is related to Melia, yeah."
Orpheus nodded.
"Hmm? Why would that sweet little angel possibly want to hunt so many beasts?" Alaric questioned.
"It is the favor her Clan's Leader called in," Orpheus replied.
"Her Clan's Leader…?
She joined a Clan?"
Alaric frowned.
"She did."
"Which one?"
"It is yet to be registered."
"…"
Alaric turned silent.
"She… joined a Clan that is not even registered yet?"
"That is correct."
Orpheus nodded.
Suddenly, Alaric glanced at Orpheus and narrowed his eyes.
"Orpheus, the Bloodheart House is not being used, correct?"
The calm atmosphere around him changed and a strangely oppressive aura was felt all over the room. Even Orpheus, one of the strongest beings in the world had difficulty looking into Alaric's eyes.
However, this wasn't his first time talking with this man. Orpheus knew how to hide what he was feeling and handle himself.
"As I said, the Bloodheart House owed that man a favor, Melia has nothing to do with this."
"What is the Cultivation stage of this clan leader you are talking about?" Alaric questioned.
"He is an Emperor."
This time, the confusion on Alaric's face was clearly visible,
"Melia joined a Clan whose leader is only an Emperor Stage Cultivator?"
"That is correct."
"How did that happen? There is no way Melia would agree to something like that, no, let alone her, you would disapprove of this first."
"I am bound by a Contract, Alaric, I cannot tell you that.
Just know that Melia or I aren't being fooled here."
"You…" Suddenly, Alaric looked into Orpheus's expressionless eyes and questioned,
"You support that man, don't you?"
"I would not deny that."
"This is not about Melia…
You are doing this because of that man."
"As I said, I owe him a favor."
"He is merely an Emperor, the Bloodheart House wouldn't owe any Emperor any favor." Alaric was quick to cut him off.
"And for Ambrosia to agree to help this Emperor Stage Cultivator…"
Alaric started thinking, then, his expression changed and he laughed out loud,
"Hahaha~ So many young Vampires would be heartbroken once this is known."
"Alaric, what are you thinking about?" Orpheus questioned.
"Oh come on, Orpheus, you can say it out loud, you finally found a partner for our Melia, didn't you?"
"There is nothing like that, he is just the Clan Leader and she is just a member of that clan."
Orpheus denied directly.
"Hahaha~"
Seeing his reaction, however, Alaric just continued to laugh.
"Now I am sure.
Melia definitely found her partner.
Hahaha~ That little girl has grown.
Haah, it is almost frightening how fast the time runs. That girl is already at that age huh…"
Alaric sighed.
"…"
Orpheus didn't know how to react.
"Anyways, who is the Man? Is he from the Duke Family? Anyone I might know about? There are a few Emperors that I know of, but all of them are still less than 50 years old, so they can't marry anyone yet.
Wait, there are a few who have crossed 50, but does Melia really want to marry them? Honestly, their talent is not up to the standards…
Oh well, Love is blind, I guess.
I really wish to meet that little girl right now, fufufu.
I want to see how that expressionless face of hers changes when I tease her."
Alaric spoke with a playful smile on his face.
"Hmmmmm."
Suddenly, Orpheus started thinking.
"You should meet her."
He then nodded.
"Meet her, and meet your little sister as well. She is angry, you know? I don't think she would meet you unless you go to her yourself."
"She is being a child." Alaric sighed.
"Well, I do not disagree." Orpheus smiled.
After thinking for a while, Alaric nodded,
"Alright, I shall make a formal visit to the Bloodheart House."
"No, come with me instead. A formal visit would be a problem right now. I do not want those 4 sniffing around. It would be troublesome."
Alaric looked into Orpheus's eyes and smiled meaningfully,
"Trying to protect that boy huh…
Now I am even more curious."
"Just get ready to leave.
I don't have the energy to explain anything to you, find out everything on your own."
"Heh, alright."
