Dawn Of Twilight

Chapter 18 - The girl in Blue

Tobi stood there for a while still second-guessing, the mild winds which constantly blew the winter cold unceasingly, couldn't affect his enhanced hybrid physique and even if it did, it would last only but a few seconds before feeling warm again.

"Excuse me, my Lord."

"What is it?" Tobi turned around, almost yelling at the valet. The valet which was actually Drerian Roku the head of the second family in the Ancient Vampire council, with remarkable prowess, yet the very instant he heard Tobi's voice, Drerian Roku who was only second to Vampire Ancestor Lucian felt his hair almost stood on ends.

Somehow he found himself shivering in fear.

He could feel a subtle strange change that was amiss with Tobi when he stood in front of him, and when he looked up he could see Tobi's eyes brimming with a strange dark gold glint, and the weird smiling shadow behind him, which seemed to be smiling at him.

Behind all that, Drerian Roku felt agitated after thousands of years, this was the first time he was having this kind of feeling again, it was an odd mixture of both terror and reverence.

He could clearly see Tobi's every breath puffing out Mana like steams and the smiling shadow fighting the temptation to do something crazy to him.

"His Majesty Lucian would like to confer with you, my Lord." The Drerian Roku tried to keep his cool, managing to deliver the message despite the profuse cold sweat affecting him at the moment.

Tobi calmed down almost immediately, letting the man make way to his host, pouring his aggressions on him would be overdoing it. As they were walking he became lost in his own thoughts again, even while they walked, not once did he pay attention to his surroundings or anyone who greeted him.

Before he suddenly felt a subtle bump over his shoulder, cutting his line of thought short. The moment he raised his head up, the first thing he noticed was the second family head Drerian Roku staring at a figure, that stood at the left corner in front of him.

Tobi's instincts could tell she was a girl and was also staring back at him. Base on how the second family head Drerian Roku, was staring at her cautiously Tobi ȧssume she must be one of those important nobles attending his coronation.

As he stood there, the music seemed to be like, it was either ending or something else was being played. And also the figure in front of him seems to have no intention of quickly moving away.

When he looked at her, the first thing he noticed was a pale blue dress with no neckline, which matches the pale color of the moons within the skies.

Her pale blue dress covered her shoulders, in contrast to other noble dames, the girl had no fine gemstones or flashy rubies embroidered on her entire dress and was only sporting a silver pair of evening gloves on her hands.

She seemed to had chosen a plain dress, with a silver muslin veil to either go with the unnoticed vibe or leave quite early.

Her silky hair was within the shade of silver and light blue, it was almost hypnotic when looked at, before that perfect hair was the silver muslin being covering her face and a body proportion as flat as a board would be, her eyes were brimming with intelligence and curiosity, her waist-long hair swayed down without a hairpin or a barrette to adorn it.

While he stared at her, he couldn't recognize her from the veil covering her face, which he thought that her intention was most likely wasn't trying to be recognized by others.

She merely nodded at him after she noticed his stare toward her, then turned her head before walking away. The second family head Drerian Roku, had a dumbfounded expression as he looked at the girl's figure walking away, he wanted to call her back and reproach her about her manners towards Tobi.

But he was also afraid, of incurring Tobi's deadly glared. Tobi could feel such a gesture was out of place when he saw the second family head Drerian Roku expression, but he only picked up his eyebrow slightly and didn't seem to care in the slightest, as he continued his walk.

All the convened guests were gathered near the raised floor platform where the four rulers were now standing.

"Today is a very special day." The Vampire Ancestor Lucian said with his deep, baritone voice as soon as Tobi's reached the front row with Horus and the second family head Drerian Roku helps.

"Today, we all stand here for the sake of the leader of the Ancient Seven Deadly Sins. It doesn't matter what was our past, but today we are all here to celebrate our future which will become bright with the Totem Father Dracula Pride as our sole Worldly Sovereign.

"Now the man who had previously sacrificed himself for our sake is standing here among us, as our Pride and king once more. Though the rest of the Ancient Deadly Sins couldn't partake in this glorious event, but with Pride Dracula here he had represented them and with whatever path he takes, they too would cause they are the embodiment of the future of our worlds.

"I hope for all of them to achieve great things, to become what our worlds will need during its darkest hours to come. Alone we are nothing. Together with the Ancient Seven Deadly sins, we are more than conquerors. While others suffered from internal strife or lack of resources, we shall thrive with success.

"The only reason this miracle has endured the passing of millenniums is that Ancient Deadly Sins stood by our sides. Those ȧssembled here are the most powerful individuals of our various worlds, but it's important for you to remember that without the Pride Dracula standing before us, we would have become oblivious.

"Each one of our families once witness the miracle Pride Dracula could summon. We were elevated by their sacrifice, talent, and hard work. Such an opportunity must always be offered to the worthy ones, no matter how ambitious we are.

"If we allow our fears or petty grudges were to influence our actions at this moment, our worlds would crumble. Tonight, there is the man who had fought for our lives and has awakened. Some say he has the will of the gods, but we say his the true son of the Her Highness and Majesty, the Moon Goddess.

"I don't know if it's true, nor do I also dare believe it isn't. What I do know is that when we need him and the other sins, they helped us all.. Even at the risk of their own lives and family."
