The Great Vampire General is a Girl! - Chapter 47

“Have you ever traveled outside the Northern Continent, Lady Valerie?” Caesar asked. At that time a waiter had just delivered his second glass. Male blood was marked with red paint. While women were marked with a dot of blue paint at the bottom of the crystal glass.

It was a way for vampires to tell the difference when drinking at a bar or something. Although it was not really needed because they have a keen sense of smell. Valerie herself will immediately know whether the blood was from an animal, male or female.

She who had been a hunter for many years also knew what boar blood, deer blood or else smelled like. When she was in a prosperous state like Lapella, it was easier for her to obtain human blood.

Animal blood was not seen very often on the dinner tables of the noble vampires of the Florentias. But they had to drink it occasionally to show their will to reduce their dependence on human blood.

“I never, the southern and eastern continents were inhabited by humans right? No vampires there. How are we supposed to live there?” Valerie responded. She was almost full. Her small glass of human blood was enough to meet her needs. But she slowed down her drink, because she still wanted to know a lot about Caesar. Especially about Avalon’s involvement in the secret dungeon in Lapella.

That place has not been found. There should be an incident in a few nights’ time. Valerie didn’t remember the date. She only knew that would happen on a full moon night. In the center of the vibrant state of Lapella.

“I’ve sailed there once. Humans are everywhere and we’re very hungry right away. They know we’re vampires and want to sink our ship. We just want to go on an expedition . . but there is one of the leaders who is willing to accept us. He has dark skin, black hair. They are slightly different from the humans in the North or West continents,” Caesar said.

“Interesting, then, is he a king?”

“I think so, he’s the king…or the chief..they dyed the tips of their arrows and spears with molten silver. But they appreciate it when we Avalons come with peaceful intentions. We only lasted three days there,” said Caesar again.

“Why?”

“Since we can’t hunt there, our supplies are running out too.”

“Supplies?” Valerie doesn’t like to hear that. They are Avalons. They treat humans badly.

“Lady Valerie, we Avalons do drink human blood, but don’t worry. We won’t kill them,” Caesar smiled.

“Oh really? Yes, if we can pick the right spots on the skin, we can drink their blood safely and without hurting,” Valerie responded.

Caesar smiled sheepishly. He was not completely honest. Caesar has been a true predator for the past three years. He would drink the blood of each of his victims until they died. Even if not every day. Maybe once a week. Caesar had ambitions that he never achieved.

He saw the pure-blooded vampires, one by one resurrecting their demonic DNA. He wanted to get it. He wants to be stronger. He wanted it even more when he found out that Raphael Chastain, his rival, might have awakened the demonic DNA within him.

It seemed that Raphael didn’t know anything about it. It usually only happens to vampires who only drink human blood.

“So, will the Vampires be able to live there one day?” Valerie asked.

“What? I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon,”

“Then why are the Avalons there?”

“Military secret. What is clear is that whatever we do is for the benefit of the vampire nation,”

“Oh really?”

“Avalon doesn’t want to antagonize humans, we’re just wary.”

“Interesting, please explain to me, sir,”

“Dear Valerie, humans will always be our prey. We are predators, and they are the prey. Then what happens if we give the prey a weapon? They are not rabbits, they are intelligent human beings. It’s only a matter of time until they really fight us,” said Caesar again.

“We can be friends with them, if we treat them fairly—”

“Until when? They and us are similar, our ancestors were humans..there is always a will to win, a will to be independent and each side will perceive each other as a threat. This is natural. And this is how we Avalons protect the Vampire nation. Although you Florentians may not agree,” explained Caesar again, then he drank the rest of the blood until it was gone.

“Then, regarding my brother, are you serious?”

“That’s what I know, Avalon is always willing to accept someone like him. Not because we want to gather the strongest people. But we can help him, but we won’t force it..We respect Lapella’s political decisions,” he replied.

“I can’t believe it if I haven’t seen it myself,” Valerie smiled.

“I won’t blame you, I’m an Avalon and you’re a Florentian,” Caesar responded casually.

“So Avalon doesn’t just stay in the states they control?” Valerie asked. She began to provoke the conversation in another direction.

“Hmm? Of course not, I’m sure Florentia will too,”

“But I doubt they have bases in the states you control, you do too, don’t you?” Valerie asked.

Valerie saw Caesar’s expression turn flat, he swallowed his saliva and forced a smile. Valerie, who was used to hanging out, playing poker and partying, could immediately realize that someone was about to lie.

“Why would we do that?” He said, sounding doubtful.

“Besides, I didn’t come here to talk about the military..I’ve worked so hard to arrange for you to accompany me, and we’re discussing boring stuff? I also took the risk of getting beat up by Raphael. Isn’t he your lover?”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that. I already messaged Raphael,”

“He allowed it?”

“No, I just inform him and then went with you,”

Caesar chuckled.

“Oh my, no lover wants to be treated like that my lady. Raphael will be sad to know this. If Raphael did that to you, would you feel okay?” Caesar asked.

“Of course I will—” Valerie was confident at first, but began to hesitate before finishing her words. The thought of Raphael dating another woman felt wrong. Maybe because it wasn’t his character.

“I don’t know, I guess I’ll apologize to him later,” Valerie shrugged.

“Okay, shall we go somewhere else?”

“What? But I want to go around this place,”

“What?”

“I heard this club basement has a lot of art,” Valerie said cheerfully.

“What? That’s not true, because—” Caesar did not continue. That answered a few things about Valerie’s conjecture. There’s something under this club. Something Caesar who was not a Lapella citizen shouldn’t know.

Valerie didn’t have time to carry out her plan because a growl sounded behind her neck. She turned alert. Her Vampire instincts overcame her and she rose quickly from her seat. Apollon, who was awake in her bag, called out.

The air was pressing and the heat filled the room. The ground shook and a gigantic hand that was furry like an ape quickly shattered one of the club walls. It made several vampires topple over and crushed by the rubble. A panicked scream was heard.

Caesar had unsheathed Vulcan and beheaded the giant’s arm fast.

“Lady Valerie! Run and hide!” Caesar faced that monster. Valerie wanted to fight.. Whatever it was that attacked them, this time it wasn’t Avalon.
