章 1008: Safe And Secure.

There is a large wall that reaches the ceiling built in front of the castle to block entry from the devil's pit. The wall extends from the ceiling to the ground and from left to right. There is a gap at the center with a movable heavily reinforced gate. The gate is open right now. So he noticed living beings going around the castle through the gate.

"Are they your familiars?" He asked.

The Vampire answered, "Yes, they are. You know vampire ethics. You do not harm or hurt the familiars. The mad bloodthirsty vampires of the devouring lineage didn't respect the ethics. It is one of the reasons why they were killed. I am sure that you will behave better than them."

"I'll manage." He said.

Familiars are the living extensions of vampires. They are subordinates who were not necessarily recruited willingly. Mental manipulation is needed to persuade someone to become loyal to a vampire so much that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Vampires.
