章 396: Royal meeting
It wasn't until they reached the end of the bazaar that Nick spotted a dark skinned man with a dragon tattoo on his forehead and the usual red eyes of vampires. The man had a calm look on his face as he surveyed the throngs of people in the bazaar. He stiffened however when his eyes fell upon Nick and Nick smiled and started to walk over to him. "It was to my understanding that you were dead." Jesseph said with a frown. "He certainly is , but I needed a disguise and the irony was simply far too great to ignore." Nick said in a friendly manner.-
"I see and I can smell that your companion is one of my kind as well ... wait what is this!? Who are you to dare imitate a royal!?" Jesseph grew angry once he really paid attention to Lucas. Nick could tell that he was about to attack and channeled his spiritual energy into his eyes causing the vampire to freeze from the pressure on his soul. "It is no imitation but perhaps it would be best if we go to a more private location to speak on it more?" Nick offered with the same friendly smile.-
"So be it but let it be known that we will never stop hunting you if your answer displeases." Jesseph said sternly before leading the way into the building at the end of the bazaar. Contrary to it's shabby outer appearance the inside of the building looked like a grand Arabian palace with tall thick support pillars and a golden and jewel encrusted throne at the end of it. Nick ignored the scantily clad women that littered the place on beds of pillows looking at him hungrily. Mostly because they were all vampires and he wasn't making him prey to them.-
Jesseph sat upon his throne and stared at them sternly before speaking "I have brought you into my home , the least you can do is discard these disguises so we may speak properly." he spoke calmly but with a clear authority. Lucas looked at Nick who nodded at him before removing his mask and hood. Jesseph had a small change in expression at that but remained calm before turning his gaze to Nick who took out his wand and dispelled the transfiguration on him causing his figure to shrink and shift back to his true appearance.-
Jesseph sighed once Nick returned to normal "I thought as much when I saw who he was. Nicholas Ravenclaw." he said pointing at Lucas. "I take it you can hazard a guess as to why we are here then?" Nick asked with a grin. "Either a fool or someone confident in their power willingly follows a vampire into their lair , which are you I wonder?" Jesseph asked rhetorically with a smirk of his own. Nick tossed the ring he made to Jesseph "A gift before we talk business , one I am sure is more than adequate to interest the royal clan." he said without losing his grin.-
Jesseph turned the ring around with his fingers after catching it and seemed to appreciate the design. He then places it on one of his fingers and immediately shuddered as the enchantment took hold and his magical circuits were canibalized. "Is this what I think it is?" Jesseph lost all playfulness and went deathly serious when he asked this question. "It breaks the limit that you royals have on your bloodline abilities if only by a little , Interested yet?" Nick asked with a cheshire grin.-
"HAHAHAHA! Yes! Let no one dare say that your age hinders you in my presence! What a fine trap you have set for us with a bait we can not help but want!" Jesseph roared with laughter and amusement. "My proposal is simple really , I will sell equipment made to order to your clan directly and in exchange you will assist me in acquiring materials and other resources at reasonable prices. Of course I will ask for the situation with the Sturm clan be solved peacefully first." Nick spoke casually but firmly. Jesseph was still smiling in an amused manner but fell into thought at Nicks words.-
"I can solve the Sturm matter as a gesture of good faith from the royal clan to you but the rest only the King can decide." he eventually stated honestly. Nick nodded "I would have preferred to go to him directly but he isn't exactly an easy person to track down as I am sure you can understand." he said with a shrug. "Yes , even now there are those who hunt us for our nature amongst the wizarding community. The king is a prime target for such individuals and thus secludes himself unless necessary to appear." Jesseph said calmly.
