God Is A Game Designer - 49 C49 Inside the Den

As Nathan entered into the manor, the rooms stylised towards a more Western Europe style, closer to his own home country than anything else. Coming into the main parlour with two stairs on the left and right leading up to an overhanging indoor balcony, pillars of marble holding up these second story balconies.

The whole manor decorated with artwork, historical items such as armours, weapons and artefacts. All of these items would fetch a rather excellent price on the market, many of them worth a hefty price but to Nathan, they were mortal relics that held nothing of importance.

Why would he be interested in a flintlock when he could get an automatic rifle with many attachments.

The vampires also would note his disinterest in such items, gossiping each other as many of them came to the front to see who was attending. It was clear this place was full of vampires, in the main entrance hall a few dozen vampires watched with interest.

Many eyes had landed on Auryn, clear who the primary target would be for some fun, each vampire thinking about plans to try and grab the woman for some extra entertainment. It was to easy to see that they used the business to feed.

Whispering between the vampires began as everyone seemed stunned, instead of heading straight ahead and past the double doors to the visitor centre, they went right and into the staff doors. Vampires were losing hope as they knew that this meal would not happen if they were heading to the Mistress.

The carpet leading them ahead was a bright red with stitched black patterns in the rug, it was clearly hand designed and had taken a reasonable amount of time to finish such a long pattern. Walls still with many paintings instead of the armours, weapons and artefacts that were in the previous room.

Eventually, they came to one of the last rooms along the corridor. Opening the door would reveal a room filled with paintings with a large window with blackout glass which seemed to be inscribed by enchantments, which were to protect it or stop people from looking inside this room in the manor.

Two sets of furniture stood opposite each other with a coffee table in the centre. Under it, all was a large rug that was the same colour and design as the previous area. Set on the table was a set of saucers and teacups, a pot and some bowls of sugar cubes. It was an excellent room almost like this place should not exist inside the vortex at all.

“Please take a seat in here. I’ll bring the Mistress here for you.”

Nathan moved inside with Auryn behind him, taking a moment to look around before his eyes focused on the woman who brought him here, his voice clear as he gave her an explicit instruction.

“Let the other vampires know. My friends are off limit, and if I find anyone has attempted to hurt my friends, I will make a forest of devouring beast plants to consume them.”

His voice, smile and body showed that he was having a joke, the aura coming from him seemed to push in the other direction. While the vampire did not agree, she would quickly retreat to the door, holding the frame.

“No worries Sir, I’ve been instructed to let you know that we will provide them with the best hospitality free of charge without any extras on the side.”

Nathan nodded his head as he took a seat, allowing the woman to exit, his hand moving to fill one of the teacups full as he let out a sigh, the tea smelled rather good.

“Nathan, are you not worried the vampires are not going to turn around and try something funny.”

Nathan was already drinking down his tea as he looked at the Auryn with curiosity before letting out a small laugh. His head was shaking before he patted the seat next to him.

“Auryn you need to realise. Vampires are magical and Divine creatures. They can sense the small budding power inside you and are paying curiosity to that. They possible cant even sense anything in me.”

Auryn wondered for a moment before she would start to pour herself some tea. “So why does that stop them from chaining us down and just eating us, if they sense my power won’t they be curious to see if they can get it?”

“Auryn, two types of vampires exist in this world. The first kind tends to be war experts that go onto battlefields. They will charge at you and try to win in a battle of might. The second type is those that work together, settle down and try to draw people to them. Espionage vampires. I’m not worried too much about the second type as they tend to use intelligence more than strength.”

He finished another sip of his tea as he let out a sigh, clearly enjoying the drink that had been left for them.

“In the end, If they try anything I will blow a hole in the side of the manor, I think that will get them to behave. The leader of this place must be smart, vampires of this size must hide well to stay undetected by the church, and these types of vampires normally don’t kill people they drink from.”

Auryn finished her cup of tea, placing the cup down back onto the saucer as she listened, apparently trying to get all the details down. She had heard of vampires but never crossed them. She had lived a very long time but vampires normally secluded themselves or tended to battle all the time, she was not like that at all which meant she had never crossed a vampire before.

“Won’t the people know they are getting nibbled on?” Auryn enquired.

“No, they are rather good at editing sensations. I guess they enter into the victim’s room, seduce them with whatever wild fancy they have, normally they use illusions to change the form before landing in the poor person lap. During the fun times of the evening, they will bite and drink. Since they can change the sensations, the pain becomes pleasure which causes an even happier customer.”

“This will cause the customer to walk away happy, which will repeat the cycle and more people will come which continues the vampires feeding habits. This is why the town that is supposed to be dead with the sand killing everything is a popular tourist destination. In this case, the vampires are keeping the town alive.”

“The leader must be rather impressive.”
