Chapter 79: Reinforcements

"Your Highness Klopp, are you still refusing to admit your guilt until now?"
The man asked as he glared at Klopp, and the vampires behind him readied themselves to attack.
Quintas raised his hand in a gesture and the vampires beside him stepped forward at the same time.
On my arm, the seal emerged, and Sarnus's ring of the king's crown began to glow, and the circle of light beneath my feet began to appear and expand.
The man and the vampire behind him froze.
"If you think you can challenge me, then let's begin, but if you can't defeat me, get the hell out of my territory, and if Peter wants someone, let him come to me personally."
Quintas said indifferently.
The man looked at us and although he was reluctant, he really couldn't beat Quintas and had to take the vampire and leave.
We breathed a sigh of relief when the crisis was lifted.
The maid who tried to kill me earlier was gone, only the black ashes left on the ground.
"Peter already knows that you are here and will definitely send someone to get you again, as long as you stay in the palace, no one will dare to break in."
Quintas said to Klopp.
In fact, even if we left Quintas' palace, there was no other place we could go.
Klopp's wounds had not yet recovered, and the effects of the holy water, although eliminated, would also have an effect on his wound recovery, which caused his wound recovery to take longer than before.
And I can't move as freely as before, the enlarged stomach has put a lot of pressure on my body.
In this situation, it was safest to stay in Quintas' palace instead.
"Before you were imprisoned by Borkana, he must have consumed some of your power, how sure are you that you can defeat Peter now?"
Klopp asked Quintas when he returned to the room.
"Borkana did make me lose some of my power, but you should know that I have lived for thousands of years, the little power I consumed is nothing to me, Peter is just a little kid in my eyes."
Quintas replied confidently.
I stared at him for a while, no matter how I looked at him, he didn't look like a vampire who had lived for thousands of years.
"So what are you doing being friends with Klopp?"
I asked, looking at him.
"To appear young, and by hanging out with him, I can make the others ignore that I'm thousands of years old."
Quintas answer struck me like a thunderbolt.
"The truth is that no one thinks you're that old, they just talk about the fact that you're still a bachelor because you're not married at that age."
Klopp also joked with him.
"Has Quintas ever turned down a girl who confessed her love for him?"
I asked Klopp.
"I wonder about that, too. In all the time I've known him, no girl has ever confessed to him, and the first time he got a rose he picked it in my garden."
Klopp sputtered.
"I don't see why I should save you and let you all talk bad about me here to my face."
Quintas said, turning around and walking out.
I sat down next to Klopp and he looked at my stomach and smiled, reaching out and gently stroking it.
His fingers touched my belly and the little one seemed to feel it, moving gently a few times.
"Is he responding to me?"
Klopp asked excitedly as his hand began to tremble.
I nodded.
"It would be cute if he wouldn't threaten your life."
Klopp said looking at me.
"We'll always be together, always."
Klopp nodded and reached out to hold me in his arms.
A few days later, Klopp was pretty much recovered from his injuries.
Quintas also talked to him about how he was going to fight back to Peter.
"I can mobilize a million soldiers directly to you, and some must guard the border."
Quintas pointed to several places on the map and said to Klopp.
"It doesn't take that many, 100,000 is enough, but I need a strong deputy."
Klopp replied.
"No problem, Catherine is stronger than you, do you need my help?"
Quintas asked.
"You can't get involved personally, your current status is as the King of the Northern Bloods, if you get involved, the others will think you are declaring war on another Blood, and that will be bad for you."
Klopp said to Quintas.
"Okay, I support your decision."
Quintas agreed.
A guard came in at the door.
"Your Majesty, Duke Kamose of the Southern Bloods has sent for Mr. Klopp, saying he has something very important to talk to him about."
The guard said to Quintas.
"You have a grudge against Kamose too?"
Quintas asked, looking at Klopp.
"No, instead he helped us a lot."
Klopp replied.
Quintas then gestured for the guards to bring the people in.
Klopp and I stared in disbelief at the sight of the man who came in.
We recognized him, we had seen him when we went to Kamose's palace, and although I hadn't spoken to him, Klopp should have been familiar with him.
He was Nord, one of Kamose's three ministers.
"Count Klopp, it is very nice to see you again."
Nord said to Klopp as he walked up to him.
"How did Kamose know I was here? Is he okay?"
Klopp asked looking at Nord.
"Don't worry, Duke Kamose is only imprisoned in his palace and is not in danger, he has been looking for you since he learned that Duke Sarnus was killed, and when he found out about Peter sending someone here, he thought it was you who was here, so he asked me to come to you."
Nord replied.
"There is something else?"
Klopp asked again.
Nord looked at Quintas and me, obviously not wanting us to hear.
"It's okay, go ahead."
Klopp said.
"Kamose has asked me and another ministry to help you, he is imprisoned and can't mobilize the army, so he had to ask us to come to you, he said that no matter what rumors Peter spreads against you to the outside world, he will choose to believe you and support you in all your decisions."
Nord said to Klopp.
"Thank you, but he has already been punished because of us, and if you get involved in this matter again, Kamose may completely anger Winpas by doing so."
Klopp politely declined.
"You don't have to worry, Duke Winpas is not going to interfere in this matter, nor will he punish Duke Kamose for this."
Nord explained with a smile.
"If that's the case, I can accept it."
Klopp smiled.
"With their help, this duel with Peter will definitely be a victory for you, and don't forget to invite me to your coronation ceremony."
Quintas said as he patted Klopp's shoulder.
"Definitely, I'm going to launch a counterattack at Peter's coronation and expose his crimes to everyone."
Klopp said to Quintas.
But Klopp wouldn't let me go back with him, leaving me at Quintas' palace.
It wasn't a solution I liked, but I would indeed be a burden to him.
Peter's coronation would take place in two days, and he had invited the other Bloods to attend.
I removed the ring of the king from my finger and placed it in Klopp's hand.
"With it in your hand, what you say will be more convincing to those people."
I said to him.
I will also be here all the time waiting for his return.
At night, Klopp took 200,000 blood soldiers to the royal palace.
I stood in front of the window looking at the direction Klopp left and prayed for him in my heart.
After Klopp left, I sat on my bed in a daze and stayed awake all night.
A few days later, Quintas finally mentioned Klopp's situation to me for the first time, but he looked grave.
It made me feel scared.
