章 221: Not for mortals to decide

German looked taken aback, but his reaction was nothing compared to that of the Eternal Dusk Clan delegation.

"What?! A human asks for permission to enter the Blood Trial? The audacity!"

"Does he think he can ever be worthy? He should be honored to just stand within our Court."

"The suggestion alone that a human can touch the gates of the Blood Trial is a sacrilege he can only pay for in blood!"

"Yes, blood. Those humans look delicious…"

One elder stepped forth and shut everyone else up with a single wave of his sleeve. "Enough of that! Even if what Cael of the Oliveira Clan asks for is most impudent, taking blood from our guests is just as much as insulting towards our creators. They gave us our laws, and we follow."

Cael bowed another time. He expected some backlash from his suggestion… but how he realized he underestimated himself. Still, his goals stayed.
