The Great Vampire General is a Girl! - Chapter 46

Having memories of the past doesn’t mean it will make things easier. Valerie had recently begun to doubt her memory. She thought she could give Florentia an easy win. She knew what happened in the war between the two factions in his past life. But when he tried to intervene, the course of history changed.

The war that should have continued to heat up, now the two sides made a truce. Florentia who should have won three states now only got two. Even though Valerie has found Avalon’s secret dungeon, thwarted Rutherford’s plan to poison Florentia’s power, and killed General Gunther.

Valerie knew that something was going to happen in Lapella, her own territory. In the past, she was forced to go home because she was worried about her family. It happened around today, in a crowd and there would be quite a number of casualties.

Avalon still has one secret dungeon. She didn’t really understand how they could do it. Though Lapella was quite tight. They didn’t allow any military bases in Lapella other than Florentia’s. Maybe Avalon has had it for a long time, however, Lapella was in a neutral state.

Avalon and Florentia weren’t enemies from the start. They parted ways several hundred years ago and compete with each other to this day. From the history that Valerie has learned, in the last twenty years Avalon has begun to be extreme and more cruel. They seemed to really want to end their old feud and defeat Florentia once and for all.

The King Dimitri Avalon who was leading them at this time would do everything in his power to win. He allowed his generals to attack and make any tactics even if it had to violate humanity.

Like the Shadows, an experiment conducted by one of their genius generals, Rutherford. They apparently also kept the creatures in peaceful Lapella. Valerie knows where the approximate location was. She knew what would happen.

But those were all memories of the past. She knew that history could change. She couldn’t believe it one hundred percent. Valerie had to confirm a few things before conveying them to Raphael and the other Florentian knights.

“It’s a wonderful day, Lady Valerie. Lapella is a unique land..I remember planning to continue my studies here, too bad I’m too busy in the military and I don’t think it’s going to be that easy to take time off,” Caesar commented as he took a sip of blood from a crystal glass.

“Even though it’s a truce now?”

“The ceasefire does not mean the military is disbanded. We never know if one party violates it and we must be ready to defend ourselves,” said Caesar again.

“Then what is your purpose here, sir?”

“We have business in Lapella..military matters, not something I can tell civilians like you, Lady Valerie,” he said with a smile.

“Oh, that’s too bad. I’m interested in the military,” Valerie showed her noble laugh.

“I’m always worried about my brother, he’s Dubois’ only son. He’s weak and can’t even stand long in the sun. What if he’s forced to go to war?” Valerie looked as if she was sad when she said that.

“Well, I guess it’s inevitable, I’m sure Florentia will also oblige every family to send a son to fight. But hasn’t your family sent someone else to replace your brother?”

“Who?”

“I heard his name was Valor Dubois,”

Valerie forced a smile, she tried to be calm and responded as calmly as possible. So Caesar had investigated it this far. He associates Valor with her family. She should not have used the name Dubois but the military regulations at that time required her to use a surname. So that they would know that the Dubois family had indeed sent their son to war.

“Ah yes, that—I don’t really know him. He’s a distant relative of mine,” said Valerie a little nervously.

“Because my brother is weak, I’m thinking of replacing him in case he is forced to join the military,” Valerie immediately changed the subject.

“You, Lady Valerie? Well, every vampire is born strong. We ourselves have many female knights. However, I don’t think that’s necessary . . your brother will be fine even if he has to go to war,” said Caesar confidently.

They were in a club, which the nobility used to attend. It was a bright building, with lighting everywhere. The human race invented electricity about forty years ago but until now not all homes could install electric lights because the price was expensive. Lavender and Pine aromatherapy spreads throughout the room which keeps the occupants fresh and energized. There were art sculptures, paintings created by maestros and cupboards full of reading books that didn’t seem to be read very often.

The club was a place where vampires socialized. They drank blood in crystal glasses and chatted with each other. Valerie passed several people she knew and they all gave a surprised look to see her with Caesar.

Like Raphael, Caesar was also famous. Some media often cover them and compare them. They were the two commanders who were the hottest bachelors in the Northern continent. From different factions and do not hesitate to kill each other if they were in a war situation. Caesar was a gentleman and liked to socialize and Raphael was cold and authoritative. But no one really knows what their powers were, including the fact that they both have cursed weapons.

“Does my brother have an illness or something, sir? I wonder. Why did you see my sister yesterday?”

“Illness? Not really..actually this is not a big secret for Avalon. We have many people like your brother on our side. And they are very strong. They are pureblood vampires, just like your brother. It’s just that they evoke demonic DNA in themselves,” Caesar explained.

“Demon DNA?” Valerie frowned.

“That said, there are people who are born carrying a large enough amount of demonic DNA to make them much stronger. They are similar to the first generation of vampires. They are stronger, faster, have near-instant wound regeneration..but their excess must be redeemed at a price that is not cheap. They can’t last long in the sun and can’t drink any other blood than human blood.”

“Oh,” Valerie mused.

“But Jasper never drank any blood other than human blood,” said Valerie.

“It’s not something to be hidden, why didn’t my parents say it?”

“How long has your brother been in that for?”

“I think it’s been a long time, since she was six,” Valerie recalled.

“Yeah, your parents had to hide it since you guys are Florentia..I’m sorry to have to say this, it might be uncomfortable for you. The reason why they don’t want you to know, is because Jasper can’t just drink blood from a donor.. He must drink the blood of his victims to death,” said Caesar seriously.
