Kapitel 81: Half-king
"Draco calm down, it's not--" Elanor said but before she could finish her sentence another man came forward from behind the man who she called father.
"What are you going to do kid?" He asked, with his red eye's shining from the hood.
"Try me," Draco said readying his stance. Both of them looked ready to jump on one another any moment when suddenly Elanor's father came forward removing his hood revealing a handsome gaunt face with the same bright red haunting eyes, he had long black hair slicked back perfectly.
"Okay stop!" He said, The moment he did, the man in front of him snorted and went back to where he stood before. He then walked up to Draco and introduced himself, "My name is Mordred Demidicus Cruorem, the Half-king of the vampires."
Draco was shocked by his introduction, 'King? no half-king? what the hell is that...' He thought to himself as he looked at Elanor who shrugged her shoulders. Draco wanted to end this quick so he composed himself, "Sigh! My name is Draco Malfoy Black or just Draco Black."
Mordred looked at him raising his eyebrows slightly, his pale face read a slight hint of surprise, "Malfoy and a Black, huh." he said.
"Do you know my family?"
"Of course, I know of the sacred twenty-eight." Mordred said, "The noble lines of the wizard."
Elanor also looked slightly surprised and nodded as if everything that happened finally made sense.
Draco was confused as to what he saying and why the surrounding vampires had a surprised reaction but he didn't have time to explain things to them and clear up the misunderstanding properly, "Umm... If you don't have any problem can I go inside and check." He asked
"You are in front of a king, don't you have an ounce of respect--" The man in the back yelled once again.
"Zip it." Draco said pointing his wand at the man "Langlock.", What king? Draco didn't have time to waste around worshipping a king that he didn't even know existed before.
The man tried to speak but could only make sounds as his tongue was stuck on the roof of his mouth.
"Interesting spells you've got there, little wizard." Mordred said with a hollow smile, "You have no need to go in and check, as we have already checked all the forest and we have confirmed intruders are staying in there."
Draco hearing that hurriedly clutched his suitcase wanting to go in but stopped when he heard Mordred again.
"You don't want to go in there alone." Mordred said, "The people inside not only managed to trick our guards who are wizards and fighters but managed to get in without us knowing. They were all affected by the Imperius curse, causing them to hallucinate and not act out against them."
"What do you want me to do then?" Draco asked slightly annoyed,
"Wait." Mordred said, "From what I have heard from my daughter, you have men coming over, so I suggest you to patiently wait for them."
Even though what Mordred said was right Draco couldn't just sit here without doing anything when his friend was trapped inside the Mansion and he was sitting only a couple of meters away from it. "Don't you want revenge as well?" Draco suddenly said turning back at Mordred. "You are the king-"
"Half-king." Mordred corrected.
"Okay, Half-king, some people just entered your forest, breached your security and harmed your people; are you sure you don't want to do anything than just sit here," Draco said. Mordred was silent but Draco could feel pressure from the other vampires around him, Draco knew that this was his only chance so he didn't back out and continued, "Don't you think that as a King it is your responsibility to take care of your people, or are you just going to stand outside the mansion waiting for other people to solve your problems."
"Draco--" Elanor wanted to say something but Mordred stopped her by raising his hand.
"I appreciate your cunningness, Mr. Black but I am afraid you provoking me wouldn't work." Mordred said with a slight smile, "And you are correct, it is my duty as a king to solve the problems in my forest but it is just that I can't."
"Why not?" Draco asked confused.
"The place is enchanted with anti-Vampire spells and formations, which made even my magic fail, from the formation I can guess how long it took to make it, so I am ashamed that I had no idea of this as this was happening inside my own forest, in my old mansion."
Draco was appalled nonetheless, Formations such as these were very old and it was a very difficult dark magic, even after acquiring the Black family's library Draco only knew about such spells and formation but had no idea how to even start it. 'Who is it?' Draco thought to himself, 'Can it really be Pius?' Draco shook his head from what he knew Pius didn't have such power in his hand.
Seeing the silent Draco, Mordred turned back as he said, "I suggest, you wait for backup to arrive before you rush inside."
All the vampires started walking away and only Elanor stayed where she was staring at Draco when suddenly all of them stopped in their tracks when they heard a voice. It was none other than Pius as he stood up on top of the roof with his wand in his neck, making sure that his voice was loud and clear.
"How good to see you again so soon Draco," he said spreading his hand. "Have you finally come here for your training?"
Draco narrowed his eyes glaring at Pius, Mordred looked back at what was going on only to find his senses flaring up, he looked at Draco with his eyes wide open wondering what was happening.
"Pius! Release Theodore." Draco yelled, "The ministry is already after you, you can't run."
Pius hearing Draco started laughing madly, "Hahaha... let them come, but before that--" He snapped his fingers and Theodore suddenly appeared from behind him as he started walking towards the edge of the roof, "--Can you save your friend."
Draco was getting more and more pissed, the voices in his head that seemed to have disappeared over that last couple of months were now screaming at him to go attack. Draco was barely able to keep himself in control as he gritted his teeth, he looked at Pius with nothing but pure hatred.
"What have you done to him?" He roared, seeing Theodore's lifeless eyes.
"You know, a bit if Imperius curse, but I have to say your friend here was too tough to handle, even after a lot of torture he didn't reveal anything and even after being put into the curse he still didn't speak." Pius said, his voice getting more and more creepy. Even the vampires behind couldn't help but feel the creeps. "You really are interesting Draco, able to surpass me in certain areas at this young age already proves your worth, join me or else-- your friend here dies."
Draco figured that it was the unbreakable vow that stopped Theodore from revealing anything but that didn't matter now.
"I will give you 10 seconds to cross the gate or else Theodore here might jump." Pius grinned as he waved his wand. Theodore took one step forward as he was now on the verge of falling down.
"Draco-- don't fall under his traps. The moment you step in, we can't help you." Elanor said but Draco wasn't listening.
"You are good at sensing aren't you?" Draco asked, his eyes cold and scary, "Tell me how many people are in there?"
Elanor couldn't speak, this wasn't the Draco she knew before she wanted to do something but suddenly Mordred spoke. "48."
"Father--"
"Let him." Mordred said looking interestedly at Draco's back.
Draco nodded and started walking forward. On the other hand, Pius was counting down from 10 and had already reached, 4 when he stopped seeing Draco coming forward. He snapped his fingers again and a couple of wizards apparated in front of the castle.
"So Draco, what's it going to be?" Pius asked after Draco entered the gate, "Join me with peace or will you go down with a fight."
Draco didn't answer anything, the red jewelry on top of his wand was shining brightly as mana began to circulate around his body faster, His hair started growing longer and the black dye in his hair evaporated revealing his original platinum blonde hair. Pius was looking at Draco with amusement whereas the vampires had their eyes wide open, especially those from the royal family. Sensing the aura change around him suddenly made them all shocked as they had never seen anything like this before.
"Interesting..." Mordred mumbled
