nAfter returning to his Manor, Godfrey sat on his balcony and contemplated everything that had happened in the past few hours.

nHe had been living his life following the same monotonous routine over and over again, and frankly, this sudden change caught him completely by surprise. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

n‘How long has it been since I last left the city?’ Godfrey thought as he stared at the sprawling city from his balcony. ‘A decade or two perhaps.’

nHe had traveled to a lot of places hundreds of years ago. Back then, his instincts were sharp, and getting even sharper as he continuously experienced life-and-death battles.

nWell, technically, although those battles had been difficult, there wasn’t really any chance of him dying.

nAside from his regeneration ability, his father had given the Demigod a special artifact that would immediately teleport him to his son’s side in the case that the latter was about to receive a killing blow or was about to die.

nBecause of this, Godfrey moved unhindered in Midgard, fearlessly facing off against humans, monsters, and other powerful beings that would make any mortal tremble the moment they laid their eyes on them.

nOne of such beings was the Progenitor of Magic, Hecate.

nWhen he saw her, he wasn’t only mesmerized by her beauty, but he also felt true death.

nHe knew then and there that he was staring at someone who could really kill him if she wished to do it.

nSo when he left World’s End after his long search for the whereabouts of Princess Ramona, he thought that he would never return to such a place again.

nBut it seemed that Fate had other plans for him.

n“Hah… this is quite a dilemma,” Godfrey muttered. “Why are all the good women making things difficult for me?”

nDuring his long life, he had once thought of finding a few girls to marry and form a family with.

nPrincess Ramona was one of the candidates he had chosen to become his First Wife, so he traveled to the Magdar Kingdom only to see her.

nBut her fate left a bitter aftertaste in his mouth.

nSo he tossed the idea of looking for a wife and simply partook in the pleasures of blood and flesh without committing to anything.

nAnd now, hundreds of years later, he saw another young lady whom he found an incredible attraction to.

nIt was as if he was a moth being lured to a flame, and because of it, he got burned pretty badly.

nThe pain on his face was slowly getting duller, and he could tell that his regeneration ability was slowly but surely coming back to him.

nBut despite the injuries he received healing, they were healing at a snail’s pace, a stark contrast with how it used to be.

n‘But this might also be a blessing in disguise,’ Godfrey mused. ‘Leaving the city and going off on an adventure with a beautiful lady is a good change of pace. Although I don’t know why she wanted to see Hecate, I am confident that I can get closer to her during the journey.’

nOf course, there was one more thing that Godfrey was dying to try, and that was to drink Ethel’s blood.

nThe fragrance her body exuded was intoxicating, which meant that her bloodline was powerful.

nIncredibly powerful.

n‘Oh, how much I would pay for a taste.’ Godfrey subconsciously licked his lips in anticipation of the opportunity to sink his fangs into the young lady’s delicate neck as his hands groped her tender breast while he made love to her.

nHe was certain that the feeling of conquest would leave him breathless. In the end, Godfrey had decided to make Ethel his, whether through seduction, temptation, or the allure of immortality.

nThe Vampire Lord’s desire to search for a partner was rekindled as the injuries on his handsome face were finally healed.

nGlancing at the city one last time, Godfrey stood up from his favorite chair and walked back inside his manor.

nHe still had to pack his clothes, bid his acquaintances goodbye, and meet the young beauty in the morning to set off on a journey towards World’s End.

n‘A brand new adventure awaits,’ Godfrey thought with a smile. ‘I can’t wait.’

n***

nThe next day…

nGodfrey went to see the King of the Milesians to tell him that he would be leaving the city for an indefinite period of time.

nIt had been a tradition among the Milesians to pass any information about Godfrey to the King who would inherit the throne.

nSimply put, the current king, Eugene Kane Miles, knew that the man standing before him was a Vampire Lord who had been alive for hundreds of years.

nIn the eyes of the Kings of the Milesians, Godfrey was similar to a Guardian Protector living in their kingdom as a Duke who got along well with the Royal Family.

nGodfrey had never intervened with court politics and was content in flirting with the women in the capital city of Cashel.

nThe only times when there had been a conflict of interest was when the Princes of the Kingdom fancied a lady that Godfrey also fancied.

nThis was similar to Prince Isaac’s case, where he found Lady Ethel very charming but had to contend with Godfrey for her attention.

n“I heard from my son that you are going to accompany a young lady on her journey,” King Eugene said with a smile. “Although I haven’t seen her personally, she must be an exceptional lady to have both your and Isaac’s attention.”

n“That, she is, but more,” Godfrey replied. “She is truly a fascinating individual.”

n“Since you have already decided to go, feel free to take whatever you need from the warehouse,” King Eugene said. “Wine and food, as well as anything else you need. It’s the least I can do for the past hundreds of year’s you kept the city safe.”

nThe Vampire Lord smiled faintly because he knew that the King was just teasing him.

nWhile he did keep the city “safe,” there were things that the Royal Family had decided to turn a blind eye to, including the activities of the Blood Fangs.
