CHAPTER 10
The sky above them is shining brightly as if mocking the humans below it. Today is just another worst scenario for the remaining JIDA members because the vampires have managed to once again find their hideout that is why they had decided to find another temporary shelter. They can't risk their own necks if ever the vampires will send a progenitor to kill all of them. It will not take long before they will be hunt down. Yuu and his squad along with the other JIDA soldiers had moved far from their previous hideout which is located into a barren farm. They all look in the sky when they spotted a familiar plane. Moon Demon company along with Kureto and Aoi had defended the youngsters and wounded, They really need to find a stable place where those monsters can't find them but for now they had decided to stay into the barren farm.
"Yuu what the hell are you doing here? Go back inside" Guren yelled at the emerald eyed Namanari. Yuu ignored Guren. He is still angry at him yet the boy has to follow his order or they will need to find a new place again.
"Why did you do that Guren?" The emerald boy asked with his exasperated look. He is distraught upon learning Guren's betrayal. Yuu laughed bitterly. Oh how Mika is so right about his accusation towards Guren.
"You and I… Mika said we were so much alike. At first I find it a boost of my pride but when the realization dawned upon me, I cannot stop myself from hating you and myself at the same time. You do not know how much I tried to convince Mika that you are not a bad person. In the end I am wrong. I utterly swallowed your lies Guren. Are you happy?" Yuu frowned and he shakes his head before Guren can tell yet another lie, Yuu left Guren on his own.
Guren laughed bitterly, Amethyst eyes glaring into the bright sky. "That is so low of you Guren" He cannot blame anyone but himself but if he were to made a choice, he will still choose this path, for the greater good.
*SANGUINEM*
Lest Karr and his hordes of progenitors and nobles are attending the mandatory meeting set by Krul herself. Lest Karr snickered at his rival's little speech. He can do better than that and that is what he is thinking at the moment. Krul is having her speech about their victory against the rebellious livestock. She even added some plans to hunt down those who had managed to escape. Lest Karr who is the nuisance at the scene had raised one of his short hands, a smirked painted across his face.
"Krul, may I ask why did you let those rats to hide up until now? Isn't that some sort of negligence on your part" His voice is condemning the older progenitor.
"Shut up Lest Karr. Mind your own business. I never fail neither am I neglecting my duty as a queen" Krul shouted at the younger progenitor. She hates him to the point of wanting him dead.
Before Lest Karr can throw another insult, Ferid turned into his heel, He is now facing the older male who is stuck in a child-like body. Ferid is smiling softly and innocently which sent shivers to those who know Ferid Bathory's real nature. "Well, her majesty will annihilate them. I believe that is a good start. We cannot always prioritize small things and think inside the box. I am perfectly sure the other progenitors of Japan will support her plans unless they do not agree with it" Despite the giddy façade that the seventh progenitor is wearing at the moment, every single progenitors and nobles alike from Japan's area will never fail to hear the underlying danger leaking with his every word. The other progenitors aside from Krul and a few from his faction know that Ferid Bathory's rank is not just for a show. He is the one and only precious son of the former second progenitor Rigr Stafford, who is well-known for his wits and strength. Not to mention his overly picky disposition about creating his progeny. Rigr has never turned anyone not because he never fancies them; it is just that he never truly found a rightful child until he met this silver head, Krul Tepes' former personal livestock, Ferid.
Lest Karr's frown deepen when he was interrupted. He is staring in a dangerous manner towards Ferid's direction. Ferid never flinched under such hateful glare. His master also known as his surrogate father is beyond scarier than any vampire he had met. "Well then Krul Tepes. I am expecting a positive effect or else I have to report to his majesty, Urd Geales on how misleading your other reports are and that will be punishable. As for you, Ferid Bathory, I would appreciate it if you will stop poking into my business" In a blink of an eye, Lest Karr is standing in front of the seventh progenitor. The chair where he is standing on creaked a little bit when Lest Karr grabbed a handful of his silver hair. "Uncle will truly appreciate it if his nephew will shut his mouth. It will be such a waste if I have yet to dispose another precious nephew of mine" Lest Karr's glare never falter as he soothes the younger vampire's cheek. "Well then I am expecting much from my sister and my precious nephew" Lest pushed Ferid a little bit harsher and he jump down of his the chair.
Ferid watched his small figure retreating. His façade slipped for a minute. Glaring with such hatred Ferid have managed to muster Ferid turn around and he sit into his chair once again; Crimson eyes meeting Krul's cold ruby eyes.
"Ferid-kun" Before the red head can muster any words he was silenced by Ferid's cold and cruel crimson eyes. The silver head returned into whatever twisted façade he wears in his everyday life.
"That surely hurt a lot don't you think Rene?" Lacus whispered to his friend who is currently in the farthest seat for ordinary vampires
"Shut up Lacus and listen to the queen. Their personal grudge towards each other has nothing to do with us" Rene warned his friend to behave especially that they are with the progenitors
"Did Ferid just protect Krul?" Mika turned his head to the Purple head vampire sitting next to him. "Why would he do that? He hates Krul"
Shinoa was beyond surprised at how the progenitors bicker in front of everyone but what surprised her more is that Ferid stand for Krul and even gave the other nobles and progenitors an underlying threat. She turned to her left when Mikaela talked to her because it is rare for him to do so. Shinoa shrug of lightly before answering. "You'll be surprise because he don't really hate her"
"Hahaha Ferid you are so funny. I know you are suicidal but I am not aware you'll put so much effort for someone who will never look into your direction" Mahiru appeared in front of Ferid and unfortunately he is the only one who can hear or see her. The pretty half demon sat into his lap and playfully touching his fringes "Ferid don't be so cruel hahahaha talk to me more hmmm. Look at your dog he look heart-broken" Mahiru keep on teasing her comrade who in return glared at her. This only made the purple head to laugh merrily. "Poor Ferid"
"Be gone woman" Ferid whispered but this did not go unnoticed by the other progenitors especially Krul, Crowley, Chess and Horn
"They are looking at you hahahaha they will think that you go totally insane" Mahiru taunted once more but this only arouse Ferid's anger. "In the end we are the same after all, fun partner" She lean into his ear and she whispered into her sweet yet sultry tone. Mahiru left in a fast phase Ferid clenched his jaw in anger.
"The meeting is adjourn" Krul announced yet her eyes is still focus on Mika until she heard Ferid talking. She looked at him and she saw no one but the younger vampire looks like he is seeing someone that they can't. Krul will ask him later she noted to herself. Ferid vanished before Crowley's gang can ask him if he is fine. Krul has been receiving reports about Ferid talking to himself lately she thought it was just a rumour since the younger vampire is really eccentric but to see him talking like that somewhat unnerve her. She might no longer fancy him yet there is still a small part of her that is concern about him. Krul left with Mikaela and Shinoa left a while ago with Ferid.
"Is there something wrong Krul?" Mika sensed that his patron seemed tense so it is only polite to ask her if there is something bothering her
"Mika, I want you to watch closer Shinoa and Ferid. I have a feeling the two of them is hiding and planning something. Report everything to me. Also, about Yuichiro, we found him
Mika frowned when he heard his childhood friend's name "What of it?" Still angry at what happened in the Nagoya airport, Mika snapped into Krul however he apologizes after. Mika was confused at first so he once again asked her "Krul this is not the way back to your palace"
"I need to talk to Ferid" An air of arrogance leaking into her petite body. Mika nod his head obediently not wanting to argue especially when Krul is this tense.
