CHAPTER 11
The long way that they took just to reach Ferid's mansion is quite safe from the sharp tongued vampires. Krul used the route not wanting to create rumours nor wanting to catch the eyes of that pompous brat from Germany. Upon reaching the elegant mansion they saw Shinoa on their way inside. Yes Krul doesn't care about knocking because she is a QUEEN for crying out loud. She will do anything that she wish for and will never take any negative answers from anyone. The purple head teen was surprised to see the small pink haired queen walking in a majestic way inside her master's mansion. She did not sense her until she saw her walking as if she owns the place.
"Ferid Bathory-sama is currently busy" With her tone of indifference she blocks their way. Shinoa is not stupid to go against the queen but queen or not this is Ferid's mansion so his rules must be applied and respected at all time.
"Move child. I am not in the mood to play. Ferid Bathory will show his pathetic face whether he want it or not" Krul glared at the taller female yet Shinoa paid no heed to her underlying threat from the queen herself.
"Shinoa it is fine my dear~ let the queen do whatever she pleases. Why not bring us a few cups of blood for us to share hmm~ you know where to take them. I will entertain Krul and her pet~" Ferid showed up leaning into the staircase. He looks rather pale and tired, this somewhat bother both Mika and Krul. "Please follow me and do not touch anything please" He turned around and he showed them a room where he is accepting special visitors. He beckons for them to have a sit across him as he takes the red velvety sofa to rest. He laid his body into the sofa and he covers his eyes using the back of his right hand. "What can I do for you~? Is what I will usually ask you but as you can see I am not in the mood to play. Just say what you want and I will grant it"
To see the older male in this moment of weakness somewhat surprise Mika because the usual Ferid will never show such weakness in front of anyone. Krul at the same time sat into the designated chair for her. She can sense that something is bothering Ferid and yet said nothing about it, three glasses of blood was placed in the table that is located in between them. Shinoa took the empty chair next to her patron.
"Ferid… Who were you talking to a while ago? Don't answer me that you are talking to no one because I saw and heard you talking. If you are planning to overthrow me then-" Krul was cut off by the fits of hysterical laughter of the silver head progenitor "What is so funny mongrel?"
"What is so funny?" Ferid turned his head on her; Krul can see the pale pallor of the seventh progenitor. "You perhaps! Ah you are still ungrateful through and through no matter how many times I saved your pathetic existence you will still think so lowly of me. You never did anything good to me Krul neither do I owe you anything and yet you are here barging into my house only to accuse me of baseless things. Now tell me Krul is it not funny? Is it not funny that despite how many times I showed my loyalty to anyone they will always end up abandoning me? Yes like you my cruel queen, Kururu Tepes and His majesty Rigr Stafford. In the end I am not enough to any of you" Ferid sat up straight; he slammed his hands into the table causing for the wine glasses full with blood to shatter into the floor. "Am I planning to overthrow you? No, I am not on the other hand are you planning to overthrow me? Yes, you do because you do not trust the boy whom you feed on when he was a child. The boy whom you lied to; the naïve human you and your brother used for fun and left when he has none. I warned you Krul to dispose your pet but look where you put us in! Karr will know he is a thing we vampires sworn to destroy. Urd Geales will have our heads serve in the silver platter!" Ferid snarled such display of attitude from Ferid has never been seen by Shinoa or Mika before. "You ungrateful I did—"
"Ferid stop right there" Mahiru whom he only can see warned him if he continue talking their plans will be wasted.
"You did what Ferid? Do not talk so highly of yourself!" Krul snarled back to the younger progenitor
"There! See? You are so ungrateful!" Ferid paid no heed on Mahiru's warning and on Mahiru's behalf; she possessed him before he can talk more
"Ungrateful? Hah! Why would I thank someone like you!" Krul once more mocked him but Shinoa sensed something was off of her master. She draws her sword along with Mika and both protected the still seething queen from Ferid Bathory's weapon.
"You talked too much Krul. Still the same as before" The possessed progenitor slammed the two younger vampires "Do not get into my way sister or you will not be left unscathed"
"Sister?" Mika stare into Ferid's angry form and to Shinoa who is still struggling like him.
"I see it has been awhile Mahiru Hiiragi so you are the one whom Ferid is talking to. Hah! You were even tried to kill me. Where is my brother?" Krul pinned Ferid, her nails digging into his neck
"Krul-sama please calm down you will only maim Ferid-sama and if he suddenly died you'll be in trouble with the council. Shinoa is holding Krul's arm but her gaze turned colder while staring at the laughing Ferid. "What is the meaning of this? You did possessed Guren too? What do you want?"
"Ah hello to you too what I want is none of your business. Ferid and I will going to continue our pact HAHAHA do not break his heart any longer Krul for you might no longer be of any interest for him. Leave now Tepes and bring your pet" Ferid blinked confused of his surroundings. "Ah please do leave. I will be having another meeting. I cannot entertain you anymore" Ferid stand up and he turn his back on them but he halted when he heard Krul's question
"What is your pact with that woman?" Krul clench her fists tight "Do not trust her Ferid. Do not make the same mistake that I did"
Ferid turned his head a little bit just to look at her, he pressed his right forefinger into his lips and he smiled "That's a secret" He left without second thought and right there Krul and the other two can now see Mahiru following the eccentric progenitor. Floating into the thin air Mahiru once again stared at the trio and she smiled at them in a sinister way as possible.
