“I guess I’ll be able to see the faces of the elders that were only told through legends. They must be inside here, but who could they be?”

“Kikki. Isn’t she a totally crazy pretty girl?”

“… … Seriously, why are the people above awakening the ghosts of the past and making a fuss?”

“Isn’t that under the pretext of preventing internal strife?”

“They won’t be under control, so aren’t they basically monsters? How are you going to handle things when the Marquis isn’t here…”

“So, if the Marquis is not here, they won’t be able to get back into the coffin, and they will definitely try to rule us instead of the Marquis…”

“I hate it. I hate it. Really. It’s like X.”

All the nobles were tense because of Aaron Bolt’s ominous mood.

Following the news that the disappearance of Marquis Bloodmir from El Dorado was confirmed to be due to the assassination of the warrior Lena,

It was because of the news that all the sealed sleeping elders had awakened.

The Elders are pure vampires of primitive bloodlines, just like Margrave Bloodmir, unlike the modern nobles who have been improved to be more human-friendly with diluted blood.

Although they are such powerful beings, they are beings that cannot coexist with humanity. For that reason, two hundred years ago, Marquis Bloodmir sealed away twelve elder-level vampires, excluding himself, and managed or executed the remaining remnants to improve their genes.

The nobles of the four cities, including Aaron Bolt, in the Bloodmir Territory of the New Continent, were created in this way today.

The reason the Marquis took such measures was because he knew all too well that if he had not stopped the indiscriminate sucking of blood and curbed its spread, the human race would have dried up and eventually been destroyed by the warrior party.

It was a special measure taken because if they could not establish themselves in the New World, they would have nowhere else to go.

His descendants are now living as half-bloods who are too embarrassed to be called vampires, and do not suck blood.

Of course, since his physical abilities and lifespan were superior to those of ordinary humans, he had no shortage of things to do as a noble.

For such nobles, the rumor that twelve elders with primitive bloodlines had been unsealed could not but be very uncomfortable.

The rumor was confirmed by this social gathering.

The released elders have revealed themselves.

That also meant that there would soon be casualties.

＊＊＊

While we were having a lively conversation.

“… … You are as beautiful as the stars in the night sky. How can you give me the honor of singing a song with you?”

A blond handsome man in a white tuxedo asked Erica to dance while making a sensual comment.

It was an absolutely absurd thing.

This is clearly a situation where he is wearing an armband with stripes on it, indicating that he is married.

I wasn’t sitting near the stage looking for a dance partner, but rather chatting with acquaintances in the corner.

Everyone felt that the unexpected intrusion was rude and puzzled them, but they couldn’t say anything when they saw the purple armband the man was wearing.

In particular, I had heard rumors that Elder would appear at this ball. He was an unfamiliar face that I had never seen before, and he had a purple armband that signified the highest class… It was a situation that made me feel too uneasy to intervene.

Because of that, Clovens, Corbin, and a dozen others decided to keep quiet and wait for the situation to develop for a while, hoping that Erica would behave well.

… … The parties involved, Alan and Erica, were greatly embarrassed.

Because this man asked me to dance.

That was because when they opened the bathroom door and came out, they encountered a man looking at them with a sinister and sinister smile.

‘It’s embarrassing just to pretend to know me, but you’re asking me to dance? Even though you know that Erica was having sex with me?’

Alan couldn’t help but feel extremely indignant.

This clearly meant that he was taking advantage of the difference in social status and blatantly targeting Erica, ignoring her as a lower class person.

That too, for the purpose of seeing Erica easily and having sex with her.

Even though he was a nobleman, he couldn’t stand it.

He expressed his refusal firmly in a tone full of displeasure.

“This is my wife. Dancing is not permitted. Please step aside.”

Instead of backing down, the man sat down on the empty chair next to Erica and started to taunt her loudly.

“Oh! It was your husband. I didn’t know it was such a healthy relationship because I saw you two having anal sex in the men’s bathroom earlier.”

It was an openly shameful remark in front of people.

‘No… how does this kid know we had anal sex?’

Alan and Erica couldn’t help but blush at the man’s words.

“What are you talking about! We’re having a meeting, so please leave without interrupting!”

“Who is this lowly kid shouting in front of now!!!”

When Alan said something, the man’s attitude became overbearing and he started yelling loudly, showing off the power he had because of their difference in status.

Everyone around him was startled by the momentum and looked in that direction. In particular, the man’s shouting was filled with an evil energy, putting tremendous pressure on everyone around him.

The man’s appearance was also unusual. His eyes were red, his fangs were visible, and a dark red aura was seen rising from his entire body.

“Uh uh….”

“That person is…”

“Could it be Elder Jeremiah?”

“I’m surprised that someone recognizes me.”

Clovens, the knowledgeable headmaster of the Academy, remembered one of the Elders, Jeremiah, from a portrait he saw in a historical collection and pretended to know him.

Yes. The man in front of you right now is one of the twelve sealed elder vampires who were close to Marquis Vladimir. Jeremiah. He was a being who could be considered a count in terms of noble class.

After waking up from hibernation, Jeremiah, who was looking for food in the banquet hall, became obsessed with Erica the moment he saw her and followed her around, even seeing her having sex with Alan.

Elder-level vampires, who are older vampires, have a special ability called ‘seeing the world’, which allows them to see through walls and even inside bodies.

That’s why I was able to see the sex scenes so clearly.

Their sex scene was so hot that Jeremiah couldn’t give up Erica.

But that bastard called my husband was too much of a troublemaker. I couldn’t forgive him for taking such a young beauty for a lowly commoner…

All of this happened because the old man, Jeremiah, did not understand the changing culture of the New World.

The New World had declared independence and autonomy in the past 100 years as people flocked there in droves, and while the aristocracy itself remained, it was not as influential as on the mainland.

To begin with, the people of the New World were people who immigrated because they disliked the power of the nobles of the mainland, and since the culture of the New World was to block the influence of the nobles of the mainland, the system itself was different.

This means that we are no longer in an era where nobles own and rule all the land.

Margrave Bloodmir also accepted this, accepting immigrants and making his domain one of the most prosperous in the North.

However, Jeremiah, who woke up from a long hibernation, was unable to accept the changed world. Above all, he also possessed tremendous power.

“What are you doing! I don’t have the slightest intention of dancing with you!”

Erica, who couldn’t stand to watch, clearly expressed her refusal.

A furious Jeremiah began to threaten Erica.

“Huh! A shallow bitch pretending to have integrity. Really? Then I will summarily sentence your husband for insulting the nobility and disturbing public morals. Choose! Will you serve me or will you see your husband killed?”

There was absolutely no forced effort.

At that moment, Alan threw the thin gloves he had at Jeremiah.

“It’s a duel. You piece of trash! Follow me!”

“Oh! That cheeky bastard’s liver is swollen. I’ll cut off both of your arms and drink your blood. Hehe.”

From Jeremiah’s perspective, this kind of development was also something he had hoped for, so he readily accepted the challenge to a duel.

A simple repertoire of killing and stealing.

＊＊＊

The duel took place outdoors, outside the banquet hall.

Is the most fun thing to do watching a fight?

A large crowd of people gathered to watch, and a duel was prepared, with soldiers preventing them from getting too close.

“… … Carefully, the author is an old-time elder vampire who recently woke up from hibernation. Use this weapon. If you accept my offer, I was going to give it to you as a gift. ”

What Clovens gave to Alan was a middle sword made of pure silver.

“This is…”

A weapon that seems to have predicted what would happen today.

In fact, the reason why Clovens, the headmaster of the academy, tried to recruit Alan was because he had a feeling that something would happen soon with the awakening of the Elders, and so he wanted to quickly strengthen his power.

“Brother. You have to be careful!”

“Don’t worry! I can’t stand those who try to touch me! I’ll win and come back… ♥”

Alan gave a light kiss to Erica’s lips as she hugged him with concern before entering the duel.

Jeremiah’s weapon was a magnificent battle staff with a red jewel set into it. The weapon had a sharp blade at the lower end.

“You cheeky bastard. I’ll make you regret it!”

“What should I say! You’re a noble and a fool, you’re lost!”
