Chapter 69: For being human

"Kamose should protect them, we can no longer enter Winpas' territory now, otherwise, we will be caught, only here, you can be safe."
Klopp said as he took my hand.
I could only pray that Anna and Ike would be safe too.
Klopp was wounded, and I let him rest in his room during dinner so that he could recover faster.
I went to the kitchen to get him his dinner.
In his current condition, the simulated blood would speed up his recovery, even though that tasted almost the same as real human blood.
As I headed to my room with a large glass of simulated blood, Sarnus was standing by the flower garden.
"Jenny, after giving Klopp his dinner, I have something to say to you."
Sarnus' expression was serious, it should be something big.
After giving the simulated blood to Klopp, I went to see Sarnus.
He led me towards Angelina's palace.
The palace was silent, and Sarnus stopped and turned to look at me.
"Your power has grown again, hasn't it?"
Sarnus asked, looking at me.
"Yes, although I don't know why this energy exists in my body, but it should be related to this crystal necklace, yes?"
I asked, pointing to the crystal necklace around my neck.
"You're not entirely right, the necklace has some of the energy, but it changes according to the strength of the user's energy, and the energy in your body, will continue to grow, but I should tell you that it's not a good thing."
Sarnus said with an apologetic look to me.
"I don't understand, what does that mean?"
I was even more puzzled, wouldn't more power be more protective?
"Because the source of the energy is not you yourself, but the little life in your womb. After I came back last time, I checked all the ancient books about the awakening of the blood gift, and one of the conditions it must have is to draw on the life force of the mother."
Sarnus said with a frown.
"So what do you want to talk to me about?"
I might have guessed Sarnus' intention.
"I can help you sustain your life until the child is born, but at that time, you will be extremely weak and he will also take the opportunity to suck all of your life, so you will die because you are human and simply cannot withstand such consumption."
Sarnus looked at me with difficulty and said.
"You're worried that Klopp will know about this and will then try to kill the boy by any means possible, is that right?"
I was indeed correct in my guess.
"You are very smart, but, you also have a choice, if you choose to let him be born, I can guarantee that he will be the most powerful king of the blood race in the future, if you want to give him up, I will not stop you, you have the right to make the decision for your own life."
Sarnus said to me.
I could also feel that the child's growth seemed to be accelerating during this time, making me get tired more and more easily.
What Sarnus said made me realize the reality that even though I still had a chance in my heart, the final outcome was still irreversible.
"I hope he can choose for himself, whether he is the king of the blood, or an ordinary person like me."
I said with a smile.
Sarnus looked at me, and various complicated emotions appeared in his eyes.
"Before he is born, I hope ......"
"I understand, I will not mention to Klopp about today's conversation with you, and even if it comes to that day, my death, it will only be an accident."
I interrupted Sarnus and said.
"The current blood race does need a powerful king to lead them back to life, and I am getting old and my power will continue to weaken."
Sarnus raised his head to look at the picture of Angelina hanging on the wall and said sadly.
"Is there anything else you want to tell me besides that?"
I asked Sarnus, pretending to look relaxed.
"As the child grows faster, his consumption of your life will also increase, you will become weaker and weaker, feel tired, and even experience dizziness and hallucinations, but I will try to help you stabilize your physical condition."
Sarnus said.
Although I knew he was doing it for the boy, at least Sarnus, and the people here, would protect him.
"Thanks, I think I'll go keep Klopp company."
I smiled, turned around and walked out.
The last time left for me and Klopp was less than two years.
When I returned to my room, Klopp was leaning against the bed with his eyes closed resting, a feature that was completely different between Bloods and humans as well.
The blood race will enter a dormant state after being injured, and in this state, the speed of wound recovery will be accelerated.
Coupled with the fact that he had consumed simulated blood, the effect was a little worse than real human blood, but it was enough.
When I was about to close the window of the room, I heard what sounded like someone whispering outside.
"If this is discovered by the king, we will all be finished!"
One of the men whispered.
"The king wants a human child to inherit the kingdom, this is simply a disgrace to us, she must be killed."
Another man replied.
My hand, which was about to close the window, lifted and lowered.
A black shadow flew out from behind me.
Before the two men had time to react, they were instantly knocked away and were ashes before they hit the ground.
The black shadow returned quickly and stopped beside me.
I jerked my head back, only to realize it was Klopp.
"You ...... you killed them?"
I asked, looking at the unusually calm Klopp.
"They tried to kill you, it was already their sin."
Klopp replied, not caring at all about the death of those two vampires.
But that kind of scene still made me feel a little scared.
They were supposed to be soldiers in the palace, and if Sarnus knew about it and pursued it, Klopp might take the blame for it.
"Did you just hear their conversation?"
I asked, looking at him, although I already had the answer in my mind.
"Bloods have several times the hearing of humans, and I already knew when they got outside."
Klopp answered.
I was a little surprised, he had clearly fallen asleep earlier.
"This thing, it's not quite right."
Klopp closed the window and said to me with a gloomy expression.
"What?"
I didn't understand, what was he talking about?
"They are all bloods who have lived in the royal palace for many years, there is no way they didn't know that they would be discovered by me if they came near here, they must have deliberately let me hear their conversation, it was a decoy."
Klopp frowned.
"Who would do that? This is in the royal palace!"
I tensed up along with them.
"Peter, but I don't know why he would do that."
Klopp gave me a look and headed for the bed.
The wound on his back had also recovered a lot, and by the morning, he should be fully recovered.
Bloods will heal on their own as long as the wounds are not fatal and will not leave any marks, much less ugly scars like humans do.
"Maybe it's because of the position of the king? He's your brother, and normally, he's the heir to the throne, and I don't know who told him that Sarnus was going to make our child the throne, but he must have thought the child would threaten him."
I said to Klopp.
Whether it was the plays I had seen before, or the royal battles I had once heard my father talk about, it was almost always because of power.
As we were talking, the door to the room was pushed open and Peter walked in.
His eyes went to Klopp and the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile.
"Klopp, it's a great irony that you actually have a child with this man."
Peter looked at Klopp and laughed indifferently.
