Chapter 295: Reason
Chapter 295: Reason
In a festive atmosphere, City of Flowers received new visitors every minute, reaching the point where it needed to increase the security of the city.
Luan’s presence with two women who, despite wearing a veil, appeared to be very beautiful, caused envy in men of low caliber. Mainly since, even with the arrival of new people in the city, they are very prestigious. And seeing the armor that Ingrid and Lenore wore, it was apparent that they had a special background.
Ignoring the glares, Luan, Ingrid, and Lenore continued walking down the stone road.
As the butcher said, there were many people opening fancy street stores in the city trying to earn extra money.
“It doesn’t look so good.” Lenore said in her cold voice, “These people are doing so much for so little.”
She came to this conclusion when she saw what the top prizes would be for the top three.
First, would gain a Sixth Order attack technique. 2nd place was a Fifth Order Technique and Third Place Beginning of the Fifth Order Technique.
“I don’t see why I should participate in the tournament,” Ingrid said, without the slightest interest.
“Okay, we can leave this town right now.” Luan looked around, then said.
His sense that was good at finding treasure never once triggered. There was no reason to stay here for long.
“Let’s go to Mom’s clan,” Lenore said.
Ingrid looked at her and then to Luan, “That’s okay with me.”
She wasn’t going to be a spoiler. Even though it was the woman who had loved her boyfriend for many years.
“Well, let’s do this…” Before he could continue, he heard something. Not only him, Ingrid and Lenore heard it too.
Not far away, he was talking about Vampire Queen Van Steffan.
“I’m telling the truth, Vampire Queen Van Steffan has wiped out the entire Mimi Flanmi Clan.”
“Not only that, there are rumors that there are no more elders in Clan Van Steffan, and it seems they were all killed for treason to the Queen.”
“Heavens, they’re crazy. Why would they betray someone as powerful as her? It makes no sense.”
“You can never tell. When there’s a lot of resources at stake, even those who are wiser end up doing things that others think are stupid.”
“I, I need to see Mom. We have to go now!” Lenore was a little nervous and spread a pair of bat wings and began to fly.
Luan flew right behind her, and Ingrid also created a pair of blood wings and didn’t get far behind. She managed to catch up because Luan stopped Lenore and hugged her.
“Calm down. Everything will be fine.” Ingrid heard Luan speak softly.
She gets close enough to see clouds appear just below her.
Luan spoke again, “Didn’t you hear? Your mom is strong, she wouldn’t act without being sure of winning, believe me, I know your mom better than anyone, she’s very cautious, don’t worry, she’s fine, keep calm, I’ll take you to her as soon as possible, Okay?”
“Mm.” Inside, Lenore believed her mother was fine, but hearing something like that made her feel worried. Since clans like ClanMimi Flanmi also have allies, and even though some were separated by siblings, she was afraid that some family clans or allies would try to retaliate for revenge.
The trip to the clan took 3 days.
Only at the end of the third day did they arrive.
“Why is it so silent?” Lenore muttered. In general, it was more agitated, but they barely heard anything.
Luan looked at the clan that was no stranger to him and wondered. After a while, he said, “Nora wiped out Clan Mimi Flanmi, and there’s a good chance she’s on her way here.”
“Are you suggesting she hasn’t arrived? But aren’t they far from each other?” Ingrid asked.
“Yes and no.” Luan was looking closely at the clan, “I can sense vital signs from many vampires in the clan, but most are children and weaker vampires. Which suggests that Nora didn’t do all of this alone. She managed to get the entire clan to support her decision and go hunt down the clan that somehow pissed her off enough to exterminate it.”
“…Mom can be a little aggressive, but not irrational.” Lenore stopped looking at the clan and looked at Luan, “What could have happened that made her make that decision?”
“I don’t know, but…” Luan paused and looked around. Clan Van Steffan’s protection wasn’t that strong. If another clan with bad intentions wanted to attack the moment they were fragile, this moment was perfect. Once Nora returns, there is a good chance that something will happen. “I will create a formation using the natural crystals around the clan. Lend me some of your blood so that only vampires of your clan can easily enter and leave the formation.”
Lenore wasn’t emotional, she didn’t cry easily, learned to be strong, and although she wasn’t that patriotic, she still loved the clan she was born into. Luckily she wore a veil, the tears in her eyes were not seen, “Father, thank you so much, I would be very happy if you could do that.” But, despite not seeing it, her voice changed a little when she spoke; it was a crying voice.
Luan hugged her tightly and patted her back gently, “Of course I’ll do it, you’re my daughter, and Nora is a great friend of mine. Don’t worry about anything. Although I don’t have my previous strength, I still have my knowledge. In a matter of formations, I am confident enough to be able to create something that even living beings of the Sixth Order had their hands tied in the face of it.”
Maybe it’s the way Luan said it, but Lenore laughed a little, “Hehe, I know, Mom talked a lot about you, she always spoke proudly when she talked about how Dad was good at this and that (in a lot of things).”
Luan laughed but soon became more serious, “We will need the cooperation of Clan Van Steffan as well. They know you, yes? Okay, let’s go, and we’ll announce what we plan to do and why we’re doing it. You could even say that Nora asked me to come and do this to protect the clan.”
Lenore understood immediately why her father wanted to do this; in doing so, the clan would have even more confidence in her mother.
Flying up to the clan, Lenore removed her veil and appeared in the center of the clan, and then used the clan emblem to make all clan members appear. Gradually, they all gathered in the clan’s public square.
Just as Luan suggested, she talked about what ‘Nora’ had planned.
“That’s true?”
“I don’t know, but Princess Lenore is saying it…”
“The Queen did all this for her sake. We have to believe in the Princess.”
“Yes, the Queen wouldn’t do something like that if the princess couldn’t be trusted.”
Lenore shivered a little at hearing this, but she was smart enough not to ask. If she asked, it would mean she didn’t talk to her mother, and if they knew about it, however much for their sake, they would cause conflict with them.
Luan frowned. He began to speculate about what these vampires had begun to mutter among themselves.
‘After the formation is finished, we can ask about it.’ Luan thought. He looked at Lenore and smiled. The fact that she didn’t ask means she immediately understood what was most important at the moment.
Ingrid, on the other hand, had her own thoughts. But, not being a fool, she understood what happened and that it was related to Lenore.
She descended from the cloud, going to the square, talking to one of the vampires, as she sighed and said, “And to think that all this happened…” Then, she paused or rather gave space for another one to speak.
As expected, someone continued for her, “Yes, she loves the princess very much.”
A woman with a child in her arms said, “The princess is so good, there was no way the Queen would let her marry Clan Mimi Flanmi, especially without the princess’s consent.”
“Yes, those treacherous elders…!” Another woman who lived for independence didn’t like the fact that the elders had done this, even set it all up behind the Queen’s back.
Lenore choked on tears. There was no need to say anything else since she was able to understand everything. Her mother did everything for her. Yes, she killed all the elders and exterminated a whole clan for her sake, just because they wanted to decide her fate…
Ingrid, who heard this, was amazed at the way Nora handled it. It was very unbelievable that she would do all this, but she was sure that she would try to do the same. Even though she is not able to do these things like Nora did. ‘Could it be that Luan stopped loving such an amazing woman?’ At the very least, Ingrid thought it was difficult. Even though it’s not as deep as it was, he still might love her, maybe not romantically, but… Honestly, she didn’t know. She didn’t even want to think about it too much right now.
Luan went to Lenore and muttered low enough for only her to hear, “Calm down, Nora loves you so much, and you know it, but we have things to do now. Don’t worry, she’s fine, the most important thing now is to do the formation. Then, if she’s not here yet, we can go after her, okay?”
“I know.” Lenore didn’t calm down so easily, but after a while, she was more in control. With Luan’s help, she became much calmer and helped him create the seven-pointed formation.
