The king fell to his knees begging for forgiveness for his subordinates mistake. Audine was shocked by what was going on and asked Monica why her father was reacting like that. Monica nonchalantly said that Tyson was the son of a vampire duchy. Audine was also visibly in terror." I am Tyson Bloodlong, son of duke Elijah Bloodlong of the duchy of the dark forest and the hero of time Emerald Kaldinian. Pleasure to make your acquaintance king," introduced Tyson taking a bow with his restraints shocking the soldiers present.
" No the pleasure is all mine," said the king," I'm truly sorry about the rude reception. I hope you can forgive my soldiers."
" My king, pardon me if I come of as rude, is he saying the truth. For all we know, he stole that from the actual duke's son. Plus, look how ragged he looks, there is no way he is the son of a duke," said the captain.
" CAPTAIN!" shouted the king.
" It's okay my king. my father disowned me on matters I would rather not divulge but I can assure you that I am indeed the legitimate son of a vampire duke," said Tyson with a smile flashing his now more visible fangs.
The captain was visibly angered. He drew his sword from its scabbard and put it to Tyson's neck. He said," That does not excuse your kind from all the crimes it has done."
The king fell to his knees visibly horrified." Young master Tyson, please forgive him for his transgression. His family was massacred by vampires a few years back so he holds a grudge against them all," said the king when Tyson raised his hand to him indicating he should shut up an listen.
Tyson looked up at the captain and nodded at him. The captain did not hesitate. He cut off Tyson's head and it fell to the ground in a bloody mess. The whole room gasped as the captain whipped the blood away from his blade before sheathing it once more. He turned to walk away when Monica screamed out," YOU KILLED HIM. HE'S THE REASON YOUR PRINCESS IS STILL ALIVE. THIS KINGDOM OWES HIM ALOT!"
" For that I'm grateful but if he could not survive that, then he was nothing more than a turned human, nothing more nothing less," he said and continued to walk out.
" A turned human. Hmm, I never thought of it like that," said Tyson's head as it flipped itself to stand on what was remaining of his neck.
The women in the room screamed in horror, some men vomited while the few looked at him in astonishment. Tyson's body picked up his head and placed it back to place. The blood that was dripping healed up the cut sealing it back to normal. Then Tyson proceed to rub his nape with annoyance." You just had to use blessed silver on me. I thought only my father had that stuff in this generation. Ouch, man," said Tyson turning around to face the captain.
Monica was so overjoyed that she ran towards him but the captain in a fit of rage charged at him, sword in the air. In that split second, Tyson remembered something his brother once told him. He was practicing telekinesis for the first time and was obviously having trouble when Neil told him imagine he was pushing the target with gravity. Obviously it did not work but who's to say it would not work now. He did as he was told and held Monica in place. She was shocked and still tried to move but to no avail. The captain cut through Tyson in every possible angle and it did go through. Plus, Tyson was going through his body like a hot knife to butter. Tyson made sure to speed up his regeneration so that no more of his blood was lost but it was not as if he could regenerate to infinity. He grabbed the blade with his hands as his body fully healed and he glared at the captain in the eye. He shuddered as he braced himself for what was to come.
Tyson raised his hand and destroyed the sword with one slam. It shattered into pieces in front of everyone." I think that is enough payback for the brutal attacks you were unleashing on me. Though my already tattered clothes can't agree with me,"
" Um, Tyson. I'm glad you are okay but could you please release me now. I've calmed down now," said Monica who was still immobile.
Tyson immediately released her. She charged in and hugged him. Audine, Priscilla and Rocks followed suit. They were in tears. The sight of this mad the captain feel completely distraught. Then the king asked the knights present to apprehend the captain. The king stood up and walked over to him, finally acting like the king he is. He was ready to execute the man and the captain was ready to accept his punishment. This was when Tyson walked towards the king and requested the king not to execute him. Obviously everyone was appalled by this but he said," I can relate with what he was feeling when he did what he did. Some vampires kill mercilessly, vampires are the ones who killed my mother, but not all are like that. I hope you think it through. Plus, blessed silver can never kill an arch vampire. For that you need blessed steel fused with holy magic. So there was no way for you to kill me."
Tyson then turned and took a bow asking for the king to only demote him so as to not kill someone because of him. His mother would not have agreed with that and so he was not going to allow it. The king and all the people present were in awe at his nobility. The king caved in and passed the judgement in Tyson's favor." Even though you saved me, I will not like you," said the captain as he was dragged away.
" I wouldn't have it any other way," said Tyson flashing a strained smile.
He coughed up some blood on his palm and made a quip," No break for the weary."
Monica grabbed Tyson's face and forced him to look at her." You really should stop worrying me Tyson," said Monica with worry on her face.
He looked away and chuckled a bit before saying," I will try that next time."
"I don't want that next time. I want you to promise me now that you will never worry me again," Monica said forcing him to look at her again.
" I can't Monica. That is impossible. [ A look of horror was seen on her face ] What I can promise is to try and worry you less," said Tyson with a serious tone.
This melted Monica a bit and she agreed as the two laughed. This was when Audine asked," Hey lovebirds, do you remember that you aren't alone here?"
The two pushed each other away blushing as the trio laughed. Tyson bounced back almost immediately when the king walked up to him to ask to talk privately. The atmosphere went back to being heavy. Was this going to be about the centuries old Vampiric grudge.
