Chapter 39: What's coming will come sooner or later

"No, the vampire count will not be jealous, but, will be angry!"
Klopp said to me arrogantly.
So he doesn't like me?
I found it disappointing that he denied it.
As he denied it, my heart was aching and my nose was tingling.
"Duke Kamose threw Phil out, and he's going to find a way to get back at him."
I changed the subject and said to Klopp.
"I'm well aware of that, but he's just plain stupid if he thinks Taz has what it takes to challenge Kamose."
Klopp said as he sat on the edge of the bed.
Taz is accompanied by Mireya, who is no slouch either.
"Mr. Count, there is a gentleman named Peter outside to see you."
Anna knocked on the door and said from outside.
"What's coming will come sooner or later."
Klopp said with a sigh, and then straightened his clothes and headed out.
I followed suit. I had a hunch that the man named Peter could never be a friend of Klopp's.
In the hall, a tall man stood in the middle with his back turned in the direction of the door.
"Brother, it's been a long time, my father and I have been looking for you for so long, I didn't expect you to be here, and to be a count."
Peter said in a low voice with a tone of hostility toward Klopp.
"I said when I left that I was not interested in the position of the king, and I did not want to become a man who had lost himself."
Klopp replied indifferently.
"You refuse to be an honorable prince by our side, but you want to come to a place like this to be a count. klopp, you will only make us sad by doing this."
Peter turned to Klopp with an icy stare.
Black pupils and light red lips make him look a little scary.
His words struck me as shocking. What was Klopp's true identity, a prince?
"No matter what, I won't go back. At the time you inherit the throne, I will send someone to deliver the congratulatory gift."
Klopp replied.
"Oh, you actually have such a beautiful human pet with you, her blood, it should be very delicious."
Peter said he was going to reach out and grab me.
Klopp stepped forward and stood in front of me looking at Peter.
"I don't want vampires other than me touching her, I have a cleanliness fetish."
Klopp's voice was also colder.
A chill filled the entire hall.
The two men made eye contact, but neither spoke.
The candles lit on the dining table next to them were instantly blown out by the wind, and even the crystal lamp overhead was beginning to sway gently.
Invisible like a big hand on me, so I feel very uncomfortable, as if I will die of suffocation at any time.
The wine glasses on the table made a cracking sound and became shards right before my eyes.
"It's father who wants you to go back, he's getting older and always wants his children around to keep him company, and you haven't seen him for almost sixty years."
A smile appeared on Peter's face as he addressed Klopp.
"I will go back to see him sometime later, but right now I have things to do, so I can't make time to go back, and I like the status of the Count."
Klopp's attitude wasn't much better because of Peter's change in mood.
"Well, I'll tell my father the truth."
Peter walked up to Klopp and patted him on the shoulder, then left the hall.
Klopp stood still, and the entire hall was so quiet that only the sound of his breathing and mine remained.
"If you want to ask something, ask it."
Klopp said with his back to me.
"What exactly are you? Why would he say you're a prince?"
I asked, standing behind him.
"My father was the Sarnus King-King, ruling over what was once the most powerful race of vampires on this continent. peter was my brother, but his mother was a noble of another race, and mine was just a common vampire."
Klopp spoke to me with some sadness about his past.
Although the same father, Peter's mother was able to bring him a stronger backbone, while Klopp had to follow his mother's side and bow down to Peter and his mother.
Sarnus once told Klopp that the marriage to Peter's mother was forced, but to Klopp's mother they truly loved each other.
However, two hundred years ago, Sarnus issued a ban on the herd feeding on human blood, which the clan did not understand.
Sarnus refused to revoke the ban, causing most of the clan to leave him.
The most powerful race, in a short period of time, went into rapid decline.
Klopp had just been born when the ban was enacted.
He had also only seen a portrait of his mother, not even a picture of her.
Because of Sarnus' power, no one from other races dared to hit his territory even at such a time, including the Bloodbats.
Peter's mother didn't like Klopp either and never mentioned anything about his mother.
Also a prince, Peter and Klopp received different education, and the differences and conflicts between the two gradually accumulated.
Klopp was taught by a minister as a child, and the knowledge he learned and the people he came in contact with made him more gentle.
But Peter's mother wanted him to be the next king, so she was strict about him doing everything right.
Peter was also influenced by his mother and saw Klopp as a hindrance to him.
He came to see Klopp, there must be a hidden conspiracy.
"So are you going to go back?"
I looked at Klopp and asked.
"I don't want to go back, I think I'm fine the way I am. What's more, even my father, he doesn't really like me."
Klopp smiled at me, and his smile was tinged with bitterness.
"klopp, I'll be with you wherever you are."
I went over and wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned into his arms seriously.
"That's probably the most amusing thing you've said to me today."
Klopp replied with a smile, his palm gently stroking my head.
I want to be with him and live with him all the time.
But soon, I was surprised by my own thoughts again.
He is a vampire, not only a count, but a prince of another race, and he will marry those noble vampires, just like his father.
I, on the other hand, am just a mundane human being.
I don't know if he has only sympathy and pity for me because of my past, and not the kind of liking I understand.
Or love.
"We'll always live like this, won't we?"
I asked, leaning into his arms.
"Yes, I will always be there for you, and there will be no one else."
Klopp said to me, and his words dissipated much of the loss in my heart.
The estate was soon restored to its original form, except for the rose garden which was largely destroyed by Phil.
Kamose came to the estate once again and looked in a good mood.
"Klopp, I've come to give you a gift."
Kamose said to Klopp with an excited look on his face.
"What kind of gift?"
Klopp asked, puzzled.
"Send you a new manor house, I think it can be used as your warehouse, ranch, or garden whatever, in any case it looks pretty good."
Kamose took out a drawing and said to Klopp.
"Why do you want to give it to me?"
Klopp looked at the drawings, including photos of the estate as a whole, and it was beautiful.
It would be too extravagant to use it for a garden or pasture.
"As your spiritual compensation, Taz brought it there."
Kamose winked at Klopp.
