greyrocks from fanfiction.netSummary: A new king was chosen and brand new rules have been settled. Will there be a war between the preview king and the actual one? Can a hybrid and a vampire get along?
A/N: This is my 2nd multi-chaptered story so I’m not that confident. Hope you like it!
Enjoy!
“Have you heard?” someone whispered. “They say that the king was replaced!” She finished. At the same time, in the same room could be heard some more questions, none receiving any answers.
“It is true?”Another one spoke but this time, due to his baritone voice you could recognize that it was a man.
“Who is the chosen one?”
“What happened to Kitagawa-sama?” Spoke a woman as she looked at the empty throne.
In the same room were more than 50 people. All belonging to high society, dressed well and face features well defined. Amongst some of them you could see another type of people; like slaves. They also moved everywhere the master was going; not daring to put a question but at the same time being as curious as everyone in the room about the current situation. They were feline hybrids. Their only reason to life is to serve their masters. Their origin is still unknown…some says that they were made in laboratories; that some scientists decided to play the role of God and tried to combine the ADN of humans with the one of cats. Being this the origin or not, something was sure. Their blood had something special; the taste was overwhelming and different from hybrid to hybrid.
“I’ve heard that the new King has some weird pet with His Highness.”A man said as he revolved the glass of red liquid in his hand.
“Pet? That isn’t something new, is it?”Another man spoke as he took a sip from his own glass “I mean, almost all of us have a hybrid right?”He finished and looked as his own servant.
“I heard that this one is special.” The other man answered as a smirk appeared on his face. “Some say that he even marked him”
“That’s disgu-” The man couldn’t finish his words as the main doors of the chamber opened and three men entered the room, being followed by ten guards.
“Ahh! Look! Kitagawa-sama is still the King!” A woman whispered. As if he could hear her, the other man located at the right of the King looked in her direction, his eyes having a red tint, and smiled; a smile that looked more like a smirk. Looking in his eyes the women dropped her glass and remained captivated.
All the whisperers in the room slowly stopped.
The men that entered the room have gone to the throne place as the guards were placed five on each side. All the attention in the chamber was now on the three people. The first one was known by the entire race, after all he was the most powerful figure, he was the King that rulled their kind for more than 450 years. Although he was old, he still looked as a man in his forty, if not younger. His real age was known only by his closest friends. He had black hair, black and insightfull eyes, due to being old, some wrinkles could be seen, and was dressed pretty normal. Just as a businessman. Also he had in his right hand a long stick, but it wasn’t a normal stick. That was the symbol of the entire race. Being transmitted from king to king, the cane is filled with all kinds of energy.
The man in front of him was known as the oldest vampire that ever existed. Long and white hair and dressed like a magus. He was well known for his wisdom but also for being the president of the Vampire Council, position that give him enough power to decide on a new King.
Finally next to the other two men, was another man. From his appearence you may give him at most 100 years. He looked like a teenager in his human form. Blond to brown hair dressed in tight jeans and an elegant black shirt.
The old man coughed a little and spoke:
“As you may all already know, the senate had decided upon a new King to rule us” This sure got the attention to all the people inside the room and some even wondered how it is possible to remove Kitagawa-san from his position.
“We had to think hard” The man said once again and looked at the crowd. “The reason of this change will be told to you by Johnny-san in case he wants to reveal his past action of course” He stopped and looked at the old King just too see a deep frown on his face.
“We have thought well and we decided” The mage stated as he firmly headed toward the old King and his arm reached out.”You can give it to me now” He spoke as he looked in his eyes. There was a hesitance but then Kitagawa-san finally handed the cane to the old man who as soon as he had the cane, headed towards the front, being followed by the 3rd man.
“Sakurai Sho, although young, has proved that he has the qualities to rule over our kind!” The mage finished as he turned toward the young man and bowed, meantime whispering “Young King, be wise with your power” the old man finished and he handed the cane to the new King.
“Will do” The man answered as he took the stick and also bowed. “From now on-” he was interrupted by another man.
“That can’t do!” the man yelled.”A brat like him can’t rule us!” he spoke once again but this time being encouraged by some other nobles.
“That’s right!”Another one spoke.
The air in the chamber suddenly became colder. One of the guards left his place and headed toward the man who yelled but was stopped by the new King.
“There’s no need to interfere, Tanaka-san” The spoke, his rough voice resonating through the chamber.
“So…” The new king descended from the platform where the throne was and headed toward the crowd “You think I’m not suitable to be your King, right?” He questioned.
“That’s right! You aren’t even old enough!” The man spoke “You have no experience in leading someone!” He finished as he also headed to face the other man.
“I don’t think that age is that of an important factor” Sakurai spoke and walked until the two of them were face to face.
“You can’t be our leader! You’re too weak!”
“Is that so?”The King spoke as his eyes turned red but his face was still calm. “Kneel” he ordered.
“As if I’d ever listen to a brat like y-” The noble couldn’t finish his idea as a strong force forced him to his knees.
Everybody was open-mouthed. They just saw a demonstration of power from their new King.
“W-what?! I can’t move!” The noble man who was kneeling spoke, his voice trembling.”Release me!” he ordered.
“I don’t think you can command me…”He said “Although I’m young I have enough experience and power to destroy this whole place…” he paused as he walked through the crowd, everyone making way for him to pass and some even bowed. “But I’m here as an ally, not an enemy.” He spoke and then returned to the throne. “Did I make myself understood?” He asked and released the kneeling force.
As soon as he was released, the noble kneed willingly and spoke “Yes, You’re Highness!”
Sakurai said nothing, just nodded and left to speak with the mage as the crowd started to share their impressions about the new ruler. Almost everyone forgot about the older King. Two hybrids approached him, both of them bowed and one of them spoke “Are you feeling well, Mast-“
*Slap*
The sound was heard in the whole chamber and some looked with disgust at the blood that was falling from the hybrid’s nose. Although the vampires liked the blood and even kept the felines as servants, some of them were just too hard to get. Just like the old King. He has lots of hybrids but the way he was treating them was absolutely horrible; chains on the neck and sometimes hands to and dressed in a strange robe.
“Do not dare to address to me!” Kitagawa spoke, headed to the door and left the room. The other hybrid helped his friend and then followed their master.
Outside the room, Sakurai and the mage spoke of the new set of rules that was going to be implemented next month.
“Also, I don’t want to stay in that big castle” The new King said. “It is too big and there will be living with me only my mate and some servants.” He finished as he looked at the guards. “And I also don’t think I need to have guards. I can protect myself just fine.”
“I understand you perfectly young king but the castle is a symbol of your domination over the vampires…” the old man said. “I will speak with the rest of the senate later about this problem, but you will have to stay at least a few months in the castle…just until all know about the new ruler.” He finished.
“I shall trust your judgment then Sir” He bowed.
“There is no need to bow in front of me Sakurai-san. You are now our King.” Spoke the mage “Also…speaking of mate…I think that you shouldn’t reveal it to the world just yet…”He said.
“Don’t worry. Even if I wanted to do it I wouldn’t be able.”Sakurai said as he got up. The mage raised an eyebrow.
“May I ask why?”
“He still hasn’t recovered” He said as he took a deep breath “Until now he has only spoken with me…he doesn’t like other people.”
“Ohh…I see.”
“Well then…I shall leave. We’ll talk more tomorrow about that ceremony.” The King spoke and headed toward the window.
“You should be more discrete now that some know who you are.”The mage said.
“I doubt they’ll notice me.” He finished and disappeared once he jumped from the window.
