Being strong isn't all that. Being strong means you'll become arrogant and selfish. Even if you never wanted that. - Uchiha Itachi

"No problem, Duke Scarlet. That filthy slave who insulted you deserves the most terrible death in this world." Like a six hundred-year-old vampire, Edward is not easily influenced, least of all by a child who was not a hundred years old.
As Cain was about to speak, a giant mouth came out of the floor and ate the headless body of the butler and then disappeared as Edward wiped the blood spatter from his face.
"Well, since Duke Scarlet has joined us, let the blood parliament begin!" Edward spoke animatedly opening his arms as he looked down at the hundreds of thrones below him with a strong intoxicated look.
Seeing that look, Cain narrowed his eyes and soon knew how much Edward loved his power in the blood parliament.
"Today's First Case and the recent suspicious movement of the Orthodox Church." Edward opened a black scroll and spoke aloud as he looked discreetly to the side and saw Cain's peaceful face showing a gentle smile on his lips.
"Yes my compatriots, as you know, our greatest enemies the Orthodox Church by order of Pope Clement VII is gathering a gigantic army, although it is not yet known why. But as you know, Clement VII is not in good health, so soon his successor will be chosen, and this crusade will be done in ten to five years' time. Edward spoke with his extremely serious face as he sat on his green throne. This matter is not something that any vampire is comfortable with and like a sword of Damocles upon all their heads, waiting for the right moment to fall upon them.
Hearing Edward's words, Cain looked at him with a little shock and admired the experience of a six hundred-year-old vampire.
"Duke Blood Rose, I think we should kill all the cardinals who are most likely to be the next pope." Spoke a beautiful woman with long curly red hair and dark skin she showed a sensual smile on her red lips.
"Duchess Collins, this is a reckless action. As you know the Orthodox church and blessed by their God, if we invade their holy ground, God can send his army of angels and human morale will be greatly increased." Listening to the woman's words, Cain didn't hesitate and speak in the face of the patriarch of the Collins family, Esther Collins. Invading the Orthodox church and idiocy is better to guard your strength and strike a final blow to the church when they are most vulnerable.
"Yes, Duke scarlet is right. Attack the church and insane and without foundations, better wait and attack when they are more comfortable or at the time of the crusade, since Rome will be vulnerable without the sacred formations that stand for humans". The old and wise voice sounded in the hall and all the vampires looked at the Blue throne and on it sat an old man with long white hair wearing only a simple black tunic he looked at all the Dukes calmly.
Edgard Flamel, the oldest vampire in parliament aged one thousand two hundred, although he always misses the convening of parliament with excuses invented at the time.
"I agree with Duke Flamel, attacking and hasty and stupid action. Let them build up their strength, in ten years we'll have much more power than they can muster, after all, they're only human." Edward spoke with an arrogant smile on his face as he looked at Edgard with a bright look in his eyes.
Edward has a great ambition hidden in his heart. He wants to be the new king of vampires and to achieve that goal I need to have all the dukes in favor and the most important and the vote of Edgard Flamel, the man who was the right hand of Vlad Tepes Dracula himself.
Although he is a six hundred-year-old vampire, Edward is extremely arrogant and always loses himself in his hunger for power and this shows his weakness to all the dukes present.
Edgard looked at Edward with a strong look of contempt and found it ridiculous that one of the families knelt before his king and gave their loyalty to Dracula himself, wanting to be the new king of vampires.
But Edgard knows how to hide the contempt he felt for Edward and showed a kind look like an old man looking at his grandson or granddaughter.
"Well, since we resolve the most important issue of the day, let's move on to the territory issues." Edward seeing that all the dukes and duchesses agree to wait ten years for the war. He smiled with satisfaction and thought the plan to be king of the vampires was one step closer to being achieved.
After the discourse, Esther Collins was the first to rise from her purple throne and left the hall with her expression totally icy.
The other dukes, along with Cain, got up and left slowly as the lowest-ranked vampires bowed to them.
Only Edward sat on his green throne, resolving the useless issues of parliament with a happy expression on his face.
In the blood parliament, the most important issues are resolved only by the dukes while the minor issues are resolved by a marquis in command who resolves the issues of the low-level nobles.
In the corridor
Cain walked slowly down the quiet corridor while Sakuya walked behind him with a serious expression.
"Cain, long time no see." An old voice suddenly sounded in the empty corridor and Cain felt his whole body shivering with fear. He was sure no one was near him and now a voice sounded close to him as if it was always there. How he wouldn't be scared.
Cain looked away and saw an old man with long white hair wearing a simple black tunic looking at him with a smile full of kindness.
"Edgard Flamel..." Cain spoke looking at the old Duke with a gentle smile on his face.
