บท 756: More troubles

( Julian Caesar and Regus ) 

" This is a fool's challenge Julian, we have known each other for 115 years now, have been patriarchs of our clans for over 70, you are the closest thing I have to call a friend, don't make me do this " Regus said with a solemn, almost pleading expression on his face. 

As per the tradition of the vampire society, the first ranked clan could challenge the ruling clan for the throne and officially Regus could not decline. 

It could be a one on one challenge between the patriarchs, or an all out war involving both clans with the vampire society free to choose sides to support or stay neutral.

For decades the Caesar clan had been iron brothers to the Aurelius clan and helped support their rule, Julian had been like a brother to Regus, however, that relationship was crumbling before Regus's very eyes. 

Julian had challenged him for the throne in a honourable 1 v 1 duel, and Regus was pleading him to reconsider.
