My Vampire System novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490 Law Enforcers

There wasn’t any hesitation in Arthur’s mind as he burst through those doors. He didn’t know what was waiting for him on the other side, but if his people were hurt, he knew every last second would count towards saving their lives.

As the two entered the room, they could see blood marks and been splattered everywhere, and his closest advisors, friends he had known and fought with throughout the years, were lying on the floor covered in blood.

Immediately, Arthur went to the one closest to see how he was doing. Thankfully, groans could be heard coming from them.

"They’re alive," Arthur said, and it wasn’t just him. The room was filled with around twenty or so of Arthur’s men. These often stayed in the castle and would work around the city. They had been with him for the longest amount of time.

One by one, he checked on these people. They had severe wounds on them, but they weren’t dead, at least not yet.

Arthur wanted to know who had done this and why, but that wasn’t the most important thing right now. It was to try to save as many men as possible. The good news was that he had one of the best vampires by his side.

"Eno, is there any way of saving these people," Arthur asked. "You introduced the medicine to us, the surgery."

But when he saw the look on Eno’s face, it was not one he didn’t want to see, and the short shake of the head confirmed it.

"They have lost too much blood. Moving them would make things worse, and you don’t have the facilities to even do things such as a blood transfusion as such." Eno explained.

Arthur didn’t really understand what Eno was saying, but knew the first words he had spoken. He looked into one of his longest friends who was held in his arms.

"Arthur... I’m..glad..to see... you’re... safe.." He said as blood filled his mouth and started to pour out from the sides.

"You fool! Don’t worry about me, what about yourself?" Arthur replied back.

"I’m... just..sorry... I won’t... be there... to see... you... turn... this... Kingdom... into... something... great." The man replied, and his heartbeat was now starting to weaken.

"No!" Arthur cried. "Eno please something, anything."

"There is one way," Eno said...

Explaining the one way that Arthur could save them, it was to turn all the people in the room into vampires. With his strength as a First, he would have the power to do so, and they would be able to heal from such severe wounds.

Perhaps Arthur wasn’t thinking straight, nor was he in the right frame of mind at the time. But he had decided he would save all their lives there and then.

Giving them a part of his blood, he activated the ritual, and that day they had been saved.

After some digging, it turns out the knights, and the maids had been killed and were placed in a different part of the castle that was found later on. Arthur had gotten some of his armies from the city to come and look after the others. According to Eno, it would be some time before they recovered.

Now at least he knew they were safe. He could start thinking a little more clearly as well.

"Who would do that and why?" Arthur asked. "I understand if they were to attack those close to me, but to let them live? It was as if they were sending me some type of message."

"I have an idea," Eno replied. "Many of the leaders weren’t happy with the fact that you would become a fourteenth member, and now I’m assuming even more so are unhappy with the decision that you had chosen to make me king. Instead of taking it out on me, who they see as a fellow brother. They decided to take it out on you, an outsider. Perhaps a warning to not meddle with our affairs.... I’m sorry about this, Arthur, it’s all my fault."

"No... You gave me the option to save my people, and with your skills, you have saved them more than once. I must find out who did this though.��

Eno, then went silent, as if there was something on his mind he wanted to say but he hadn’t said it yet, until finally, he had broken the silence.

"I think we can find out who did this." Said Eno. "You might not like what I’m about to say, but you have to understand why I did it. I had a vampire stay in your castle. It has been here since the day I turned you. I was worried that something like this would have happened, so I sent him here to protect you. The truth is I already spoke to him and he told me who was the one who had come. If anything was to happen, he was meant to protect you and your people. The only thing was, I never expected a leader themselves to come."
