Her Soul and His Blood novel Chapter 27

Lord Augustin has left his soul, leaving his body for us to watch.His eyes were still red, sparkling and staring at his kids.I thought of leaving those two crickets in fire, burning them into ashes but then I remembered those words of Mr.Andrew.

So I took the cross in my right hand like his instructions and stepped my left foot first into the door, unlike others I was not thrown away. I took the kids with me and came out of the room.They were looking at me with their puppy eyes.

But when they saw their father lying down with blood, they ran towards him, shaking him, pulling his beards, trying to open his eyes and trying to wake him.Then those two started crying out loud, I motioned the servants to take them, close their mouth so that they wont test my patience.

I approached Mr.Andrews and he hypnotized the kids, erasing their old memories. Then he took the blood from the cup, which I collected earlier. He took the kids with him and went inside a dark room with all those he collected from me. After a long time he approached me with a necklace in his hand ,which have a diamond locket covered with a hemisphere.

"Only if you agree for the treaty,only if you are sure that you wont break it at any instance."He said with his usual metallic voice. Old man with new conditions but I-am ready to accept it.

"Yes, I promise you that this treaty wont be broken.As you said, this necklace has the full power right ?" My excitement was visible on my tone.

He had a sarcasm on his face, "Well, not completely. We humans cannot trust your blood thirst. So the Red stone which I was wearing previously is divided into two parts. Joined with the blood of the Lord and soul of the high priest, thats me."

"What do you mean? You said you will give me that Red stone right? And now you say you cant trust us." My tone ranged from anger to anxiety, furrowing my brows, watching him keenly.

"I do, and I do keep my words. The one part of the necklace is with you,like I said. You should not harm any innocent people's. We need to protect ourself too, thats why we need the Red stone too.

This one is for you." He handed me the Red stone before I could open my mouth he continued, "This one has its own power and the one which is in my hand has its own power. This will be more powerful than yours because in general humans are weaker than vampires."

He stopped when he saw me rolling my eyes. He smiled at me and continued his conversation.

" Does that make sense Mr. Peterson. Now you are the new king and you have the power in your hands. But still there will be rebels who suck out our blood for fun and we have to protect ourselves from them. This necklace can be joined only by the one who is blood related to Lord Augustin and soul related to me."

We both looked at those lost kids, they smiled at us simultaneously, Mr. Andrews had a side for those kids, he called them and hugged them. And shown them an area to play, they ran towards there.

"So is this it ?" I folded my hands,moving my head from one side to the other.

"No, there will be a protector from my successors to protect the Red stone and the humans. They will be having multiple powers and ability. Only the protector and the blood of Lord can join this Red stone and accomplish its full power.Those kids will be having a kind of bond with the Red stone and the protector."

I dropped my plan of killing those kids, I faked a smile and took the kids and went to the castle. From that day onwards I ruled the kingdom, I was the Lord. I had a different plan for the kids, better than killing.

I was bored ruling the kingdom, I was not having the fun of killing and drinking those pure blood. Those brothers were closer than I ever think, I get to know that when Ben came to me telling what happened in the forest.
