<h4>Chapter 309: The Truth Revealed</h4>
-----
Before me, a major truth was revealed to us by the charmed soul of Rose.
"T-The girl… Ruby Von Sange! She''s required for the ritual of ourdy; she must be used to enhance the power of her Spell Jewels! The other faction has tried to save her from being sacrificed, and they sent her away through a teleportation jewel…"
"The other faction of Vampires that see Ruby as the perfect vessel for our Ancestor, the Blood Venerable! Our Tyrannical Lady desires to sacrifice her to grow stronger, while the other faction wants her alive as she will be the true vessel of our lord!"
Rose''s words impacted us greatly. It seems that the true goals of the Vampire Family where Rubyes from were divided.
There was a "Tyrannical Lady" that wants Ruby to be the sacrifice of her Spell Jewels, whatever these are, probably some kind of artifact, while the other faction, which I will call the "Fanatic Faction" desires to let her live and nourish her growth so she can one day be the vessel of the Venerable of Blood, which will someone revive through her body?
"How?!" I asked.
"They said that Ruby''s body is the mostpatible! There''s… a certain wavelength within her body, a certain affinity within her soul, it was as if thest pieces of the puzzle were all concentrated within her, after years of many descendants, there was one… born with every possible talent we Vampires develop but at birth! And she continues to grow stronger naturally. She''s gifted by Fate itself… they say she''s the reincarnation of the Venerable!" said Rose.
"And how can he even revive? Wasn''t his lifespan ended by the power of Fate that the world wields? Why is he suddenly trying to revive, wouldn''t it not work?" I asked.
"We… I don''t know." She said.
"Are you not lying? Say everything!" said Bedann.
"I don''t know! I don''t know more than that! I am a mere guard of mydy, I am not affiliated with the other faction…" said Rose.
"…So after having many kids between families, you finally created what it could be said to be a "perfect child" which contains all the talents of Vampires… Is that it?" I asked.
"Y-Yes! Something like that… Her soul itself is also very strong from birth! Mydy said she could truly be the Demon Venerable, and this was also why she wanted to use her as a sacrifice, she doesn''t want him toe back." Said Rose.
"Why wouldn''t a Vampire not want to bring back the ancestor of their race?" I wondered.
It really didn''t make any sense. Why didn''t she wanted to do this? After all the discrimination and genocide that the Vampires experienced, if this guy were to be revived, they would be able to finally fight back against the world and once more bring back the old glory of the Vampires and the Era of Blood.
But for some reason, she didn''t want this. I would guess she was a selfish woman…
"Mydy says she doesn''t want to do it because… It wouldn''t be good for her ns and those of her siblings." Said Rose.
"Siblings? Who are her siblings?" I asked.
"I don''t know…" responded Rose.
"…"
We sighed.
"I guess that''s as much as we can get from her…" said Bedann.
"No, wait… Who are those of the faction that wants to revive their ancestor?" I asked.
"Most of the Sange Family members, alongside the Crimson Blood Family and the Scarlet Eye Family… they''re all families who inherited a part of the Venerable power. His blood, his soul, his eyes… However, mydy is another Vampire who emerged long ago in this ce, she didn''t belong to any Family, but because she''s an Immortal, she ruled them as her duty to protect us… She had given me so much too! She picked me from the streets and give me food, she trained me and made me into a strong person… unlike those ugly and nasty families that threw us all away… Our Lady is not a bad person!" she said.
"…"
"…"
Well, there are people and people, sometimes they seem bad for others but good to others, it ismon sense that not everyone would treat anyone equally. I am the same in this regard.
"I don''t think she''s particrly a good person if she wants to use a little girl as a sacrifice." Said Bedann angrily.
"I-I… Well… She said… that it is for the best of everyone… And… she had done so much for me… Mydy… I would do anything for her- Ungh…"
It seems that Rose was still mildly charmed by that woman.
"What''s her name?" I asked.
"I… I don''t know. We have always called her ourdy." She said.
"Seriously? And you don''t know her name but love her so much?" asked Bedann.
"Names don''t matter… What matters is that ourdy is strong, and she can help us survive… We… Ungh… I… Agh…"
"She''s still fanatical, it will be hard to brainwash her more, should we eat her?" wondered Bedann.
"No, I have a better usage for her. I think her soul alone is very strong, we can use her as an undead, and also a guide to the Vampire''s Hideout… Ah, it wouldn''t be good to go now, that Tyrannical Lady is an Immortal, isn''t she? She could kill all of us with ease…" I said.
"But if that''s the case, why doesn''t she bring herself here and find Ruby?" asked Bedann.
"It''s a sin for Immortals to attack Mortals… The World''s Will punish them. However, as long as these mortals are inside of their divine realms, they can ignore the will of the world and do whatever they want to us… But as long as she doesn''t through strange motives, she cannote directly to catch Ruby or she''ll be suppressed by the world… although that wouldn''t even make mydy falter as she''s very strong, it would alert of all the other Immortals living here about her!" said Rose.
Immortals…
