10.4 - Consequences

[____Main Text____]

Prince Ansel has been in charge of the vampires for tens of thousands of years. Although friction with the Church is inevitable during these tens of thousands of years, Ansel always handles things perfectly every time there is friction with the Church, neither letting the Church gain any benefits nor causing the vampires to suffer any great losses.

It can be said that this period of ten thousand years was due to the fact that both the Church and the vampires needed to recuperate, and also had a lot to do with Ansel's management.

It can also be said that Prince Ansel is the most competent and responsible prince among all the blood clans. However, it is his competence and responsibility that hinder those greedy elders. For tens of thousands of years, they have not gained much benefit. Instead, they are restricted by His Majesty and are not allowed to go too far. In order to keep the bloodline pure, their descendants are not allowed to embrace humans at will to become long-lived.

This means that the families of the seven elders will lose a lot of long-lived people. They believe that the prince is deliberately weakening their strength so that he can gain more power and better control the major families.

It must be said that the idiom "suspecting someone of stealing an axe" well explains the thoughts of the elders. Or perhaps, they just want to find a fair excuse for their rebellion.

The seven elders secretly made a deal with the Pope of the Holy See. They only needed His Majesty the Prince to fall into a deep sleep and then imprison him.

The actions of the seven elders are undoubtedly seeking the skin of a tiger. How could they not be slaughtered when they negotiate a deal with that cunning fox?

The Pope's request was that he could provide special blood that could put His Majesty the Prince into a deep sleep, or he could provide the only two Silver Bindings of the Holy See.

Although the seven elders were obsessed with power and interests, it did not mean that they could not think of other things. The Silver Imprisonment was the weapon used by the Paladins ten thousand years ago. It was said that the Silver Imprisonment was made by soaking in holy water given by God, and then hammering and refining a large piece of Mithril.

It was this Silver Confinement that caused the death of two third-generation princes, one and injured another. Although the Holy Knights and the Pope of the Vatican also paid the price with their lives, this could not erase the fear of the Silver Confinement among the elders.

The Silver Confinement is of great significance to the Holy See. Now the Pope bluntly said that he would give the Silver Confinement to them. The seven elders would not believe that there was no trick in it.

Since the Pope dared to say it, he must have been prepared. His request was simple. After the matter was accomplished, he wanted a bottle of the prince's blood, and only the prince's blood.

Hearing that they wanted the prince's blood, the elders hesitated for a long time. The current prince was the only one of the blood clan who was born naturally, so one could imagine how precious his blood was. The pope said he wanted the prince's blood, so there must be some unspeakable secret.

However, what else could the Pope tell them to do with the prince's blood? Of course, they couldn't do that. So they said, if you are willing, I will help you force the prince to fall asleep. If you are not willing, I am sorry, please go back.

The seven elders finally gritted their teeth and agreed to the Pope's request. So, they brought the saint's blood containing the secret medicine back to the vampire clan that day. At the banquet three days later, His Majesty the Prince himself drank the blood containing the secret medicine.
