Chapter 262: Under the Rule of King Nikolai
At Rossi Clan
The whole Rossi Clan was in chaos after the tragedy that had happened. One of their own was executed in the most tragic and horrendous way a vampire of his high stature could be killed.
They barely managed to drag Exordium Eva out of sight as she watched her son be eaten alive by bugs and vermin. They were a rare species called Necrovamp, these bugs and vermin were trapped inside the Cage of Death with a powerful spell. It had been a long time since the Cage of Death had been used to execute the worst of the criminals in Valcrez.
Today, King Nikolai had sent a clear message to everyone that had effectively invoked fear to those who witnessed this. An official of high status from a powerful clan received a gruesome death for his crimes. King Nikolai didn’t bat an eye as he watched Haman eaten alive without any of his remains left.
"Haman was sentenced to a worse death than Roselat! That bastard! How could he do this? How could he be this arrogant!?" Eva hysterically shouted, not minding that everyone in her vicinity could hear her.
Then her eyes found Teressa and her stare turned deadly, she moved to attack her but was quickly held back by other members of the Rossi Clan.
"You bitch! How could you testify against him!!! He’s the only remaining pureblood with Exordium blood that we have!!!" she hissed, her eyes red as she burned with fury.
"He didn’t hesitate to instruct his men to kill me! ME, one of his kind and clan! How could someone like that be our one hope when instead of protecting a member of his clan he demanded me to be killed, labelling me as a liability just so he could have what he wanted!!! And here you are announcing that he was our Clan’s last hope? I won’t be surprised if he ordered you to be killed too, his own mother, just so that he could get what he wanted," Teressa mocked.
"This event should be addressed properly, Eva. We know that we all came from you and your brother Tristan. We owe everything to both of you, but that doesn’t mean that you can treat our lives like it’s nothing. Tristan won’t stand for any injustice and you know that." Minister Rory reminded.
Tristan was a good man who had led their Clan properly. But that ended when Tristan died as he fought against the dragon souls attack and tried to save each and every one of them in their clan. Since then Eva took over. Rory tried his best to support Eva as he had promised Tristan that he would assist his sister as she led their clan no matter what happened.
Eva wanted their Clan to gain more power, saying that it was time for them to rule Valcrez and that the Ichor Clan had been ruling for too long now. Rory supported her, thinking she wanted it for the benefit of their entire clan, so he did everything Eva wanted.
