Chapter 615: An Amazing Woman (2)
Matthew sighed.
"No, that’s not why I came. I’m just accompanying my wife to have some wine in a quiet environment. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t spoil the mood."
"Besides, you’ve helped the vampire race and even helped me once without knowing it. Instead of thinking about taking away your abilities, I should thank you, although you don’t seem to care."
She shrugged. "Now I’m just a fugitive, there’s nothing to thank someone for who has already lost the great status that my family gave me."
"Hahaha..." Matthew suddenly started to laugh out loud as if he had heard a good joke.
"Does my misfortune make you laugh?"
"Haha... No, not really. But you haven’t lost any status. Your family only gave you support and protection, but you will lose your status the day I take away your abilities; then, you will cease to be a blood heiress. Your whole family is just disposable trash as long as you still have that."
Although she was surprised by his words, she eventually laughed at herself and looked at the still wine in her glass.
"I’ll lose it someday anyway, won’t I?"
"Heh, weren’t you confident facing me?" He looked at her curiously.
She smiled, realizing that she had fallen into a little trap, so she didn’t answer.
Then she picked up her glass and drank it completely. Then she got up.
"Matthew Dietrich, the new world leaders are not weak. You should be careful because they fight using dirty and forbidden tactics."
Matthew stared at her. "You talk as if you’d fought them."
She then smiled from under her robe and raised one of her arms.
Matthew was shocked. "You..."
"I killed him." She replied firmly. "Any loss is acceptable if I can destroy someone much stronger than me."
Matthew was shocked by her words. He lost his composure a little for the first time in the conversation.
’She’s as strong as Gray... But she’s got more guts than Gray.’ He almost forgot how to breathe, finding such a talented person in the current era.
Killing one of those world leaders and only losing an arm... It’s something even Gray would gladly accept.
We are talking about someone with more than 150,000 of power. Although the numerical scale begins to lose viability from that moment on, the point is that Cecily is not on that scale yet.
Being so strong, despite being quite far from the 150,000 power, not only demonstrates that she has amazing abilities but also that she has almost pure innate talent.
’God...’
She smiled at the sight of his shock.
"If I can still surprise you, it means I’m still one step ahead of you." She spoke. "But the distance has shortened so much in such a short time that soon I will have to look at you from afar. Even so, there is something you should know, Matthew Dietrich. I will not hand over these abilities to you so easily. They were yours once; surely you understand when I say: I get along well with them, and they have spoken to me about you lately."
"They want to challenge you because they share my intention. Therefore, I hope to challenge you in the near future. Until then."
Finally, she turned and left.
Matthew remained thoughtful after this conversation. Emma and the gentleman did not speak a single word during that time. They both maintained the silence and let them talk calmly.
After a while, Matthew resumed the conversation with Emma, and the gentleman joined in, talking about different things as if the recent conversation had not taken place.
After several hours there, Emma and Matthew finally said goodbye to the old tavern owner.
On the way out, Emma suddenly made a suggestion. "What do you think about creating a different kind of city here? Not a typical frontier town or a classical city, but a city where taverns and wine production are the main focus."
Matthew smiled. "From now on, this city and this whole kingdom will belong to you. Do whatever you like here; I’m sure whatever you have in mind will be great."
She nodded. "Thanks, Matt."
"Well, let’s get back. Tomorrow will be a long day."
After returning to the capital and getting some sleep, they both got up early in the morning.
.
The capital city of the Kingdom of Richter had not been in a very good mood lately, but today, there would be an important announcement inside the castle that all the country’s inhabitants would be able to see.
For this reason, the castle’s decorations were magnificent. In addition, gifts were sent from the castle to all the inhabitants of the city and nearby towns, which showed that those who had now taken control of the country were willing to help their people.
In addition, something that hit the capital city that morning left the population in shock: All the corrupt nobles had been revealed and their crimes brought to light, revealing how much they had stolen from the population and how many evil deeds they had committed.
Many were murdered by the new administration, which, until now, had no idea who they were, while the others were imprisoned and would serve long sentences in special prisons.
The whole population seemed delighted by this, but many had their doubts. That’s why everyone was waiting to hear what would be said today, as it seemed to be an important turning point for the kingdom.
Thus, the capital city was filled with people, even though part of it was in ruins. Even the reconstruction had already begun, not only of this city but also of other cities that were destroyed in the process.
Naturally, the civilian population viewed this favorably because, in a way, it created jobs. However, the problem was that the killing that took place during the invasion could not be hidden. It was a heated issue among the population, while the external countries and clans continued to denounce what had happened this time.
But nobody cared what a few idiots had to say, idiots who only wanted to look good in the eyes of a population that, without knowing what was happening, was ’demanding justice’.
That’s why the new leaders of the castle didn’t give a damn.
That morning, a live broadcast began from the heart of what was left of Richter Castle.
The first face that appeared before them was that of a young man whom many of them already knew: Matthew Dietrich.
"Greetings, vampires of the Kingdom of Richter, and everyone watching me at the moment. I’m Matthew Dietrich. This transmission currently covers two kingdoms: the Dark Kingdom and the Kingdom of Richter. I hope the entire population can hear everything I say."
