Anything For You
Chapter 129

-INSIDE THE BOOK- Some 1500 years ago

"Today is the festival day for all of us. I don't want any of the mistakes. The one who dares to not follow royal orders will be severely punished. I don't like repeating myself." A man riding the horse yelled over some of the people dressed in normal kind of clothes. Looking at all of them, they appeared to be some kind of hard laborers. The man on horse was wrapped in good silk clothes letting everyone know who he was and what status he held in that society.

"Why are you still standing here and wasting my time? Didn't you hear me?" The man yelled on top of his lungs over those laborers grabbing attention from each passer-by. People despised those humans. They were called 'THE SOOPERS'. THE SOOPERS' were none other than humans thrown into slavery when bought from the human residences by Vampires. Yes, this land and kingdom belonged to a Vampire.

Being located into the deepest of woods north to M city, the ROXFLOOD kingdom flourished fully well since centuries. The vampires of ROXFLOOD kingdom were treated as lord's amongst all the other vampires throughout the whole world, because of being the only royal bloodline. The other vampires were somehow not pure blooded as with the passage of time, vampires bred with other creatures and produced hybrids. But still, the royal Pure Blooded vampires existed.

King FAUST BRAVER ROXFLOOD, ruled the whole kingdom. Since a few decades he had been spreading its kingdom taking more and more territories into it and recruiting more and more SOOPERS. The vampires had always been fiesty creatures in human-tales. But with the advent of technology people tend to become more ignorant about the supernatural creatures. Vampires had learned to blend themselves into mortals too.

Many of them were high ranked officials, business persons and industrialists these days. It had always been easier to bite the bread and take a largest portion while being the rich because nobody would ever judge you. There were issues between vampires and werewolves but recently, the working King of Werewolves, Emperor JEREMY AZURE had been trying his best to maintain peace between the two supernatural species who had been bloodthirsty for each other.

(Grand Empress gasped reading out her late husband's name in this heavenly book. Never did she imagine that her husband and ultimately she would have been related to this somehow. Now her curiosity was taking her over the board. She continued reading it again hoping to find everything soon.)

"HE SOOPERS this time you brought are so haggard and lazy. Exactly where did you go to buy them?" The man riding over the horse asked his accomplice who was in-charge of recruiting the SOOPERS from human world. He used to buy them at the lowest possible rates and then they were brought here. The prime motive behind this was to fulfill the food requirements of vampires, who fed over human blood. In return, these SOOPERS were fed and provided livelihood.

"I didn't buy them this time." Said the accomplice. His face held smirking expressions, which weren't a good sign though.

"Then?" The man over that horse asked raising his brows a little. They horses were merely walking. This way they could keep an eye over every happening around them.

"What do you think?" The accomplice cross-questioned with a smug chuckle. His chuckle was so gross that it took no time for the horse-rider to guess what he had done.

He immediately pulled the bridle making the horse to halt in its steps, and narrowed his eyes at the other man. He knew this would be landing him into grave danger.

"What have you done? Don't... don't tell me that you smuggled...." He whispered around asking the other fellow, who was grinning from ear to ear making the rider's thoughts go wild. Instead of answering him, the accomplice just shrugged his shoulders and then nodded his head with that nasty smile plastered over his face exposing his little fangs, a drop or two of blood had been struck to them; he sucked blood some moments ago from a SOOPER.

"Are you insane or what? Don't you know what had happened to the previous accomplice who dared to smuggle SOOPERS!" His tone was filled with worries and he could see this stupid vampire's fate too. How would he be spared if the previous one wasn't. No matter how dangerous he sounded back then to all those SOOPERS, but nobody could defy the Vampire Lord.

"Don't be a mugwort. Who is going to tell Lord anyway? Moreover, they are just food. It's more than enough that our Lord pays them, let's them live in our kingdom. Why does he have to buy them at such a handsome price?" The accomplice asked with a gross face as if he despised the SOOPERS the most.

"You..." The horse-rider was cut amidst by the threatening tone from behind them. A chill ran through his spine scaring him to his wits. "HOW DARE YOU TO QUESTION THE LORD??"

The heavy voice landed in those two vampires ears, the horse-rider scared and the accomplice shaking like a dead leaf. They both knew who this person was and how this man was going to regret them both; the former for even listening to something rubbish the later said.

Both of them turned only to find a raged vampire staring at them like his gaze only would pluck out their soul. The accomplice hot so scared that he forgot to utter a single word and kept on grazing his eyes here and there. It appeared as his words were struck in his throat, while the horse-riding vampire made his move quickly.

He stepped down from the horse in a swoosh and approached the furious man with his ordinary vampire speed, only to kneel down at his perfect and neatly polished black boots. The man held murderous aura, his eyes already red; a sign of being a vampire. "I am sorry master. He.. he is new. He doesn't know the rules. I ... I will make him understand. Please... spare... spare him once. I will make sure that ... he... he.... Never.. would do that again." The rider Vampire started to plead.

The man over there became even more furious and kicked him hardly making him roll over his back spitting,

"You.. I am not your master. Don't ever address me that. And stop speaking gibberish. The one who committed a crime will be punished for sure. And you... (pointing at the one who had been pleading)... since you were his guide, so you will eventually be punished." Ending the conversation he ordered his guards to drag them both to the Royal ROXFLOOD KINGDOM court.

"Please forgive me. I ... I was reckless. I will never ever mistake again. Please, prince..." The accomplice started to whine, but the man over there just smirked with a dark and deadly aura replying back,

"You are not going to be punished because you made a mistake.".... Lowering down to the accomplice's level, he spoke out dangerously, .... "You will be punished because you defied the law, had the nerve to question the lord and hurt my sister. I can beat anything, but if anyone dares to hurt my sister, I will make sure that he never gets Buried.... Under.... The.... Ground... EVER." He said those words bit by bit.

The accomplice lost all his hopes. He understood there was no way out for him now. His 200 years old life was going to be mercilessly ending in the hands of royals and the nerve-piercing royal laws.

"Drag him (referring to the accomplice), and him too..(to the horse-rider). Bring his horse alongwith too." He passed the order to royal guards. Ten royal guards dressed in all black clothes with shining silver hats that were waywardly huge enough to cover over their heads and faces approached both the vampires over ground with sharp weapons made of steel and their edges coated with silver. One of the guards tried to poke the accomplice, but stopped midway hearing out, "Number 7, Don't poke him. I want to present him in one piece to my sister." He smiled faintly and the guards obliged.

All the SOOPERS who had been recruited new today, and were schooled a moment ago were watching this with eyes wide opened and bodies shaking.

"Who are those people? Who was the man? Did you notice his eyes? They were all red. It's too scary." One of the SOOPERS said it out. An old man hushed him immediately warning,

"Don't spout out. You are new here. You will understand everything slowly. For the time being, just learn that they are royals. The man was none other than prince of ROXFLOOD KINGDOM. And he is a royal blooded vampire."

"What? Are you serious? Vampire??" A few of the SOOPERS were extra curious and couldn't believe what they just heard.

"Yes, they are vampires. This is the vampire kingdom. Although they are bloodthirsty creatures, but the royals are good people. Don't ever piss them out and you would outlive your lives. Now get back to our work." The old man answered to all of those curious newbies and got indulged in his work leaving all of those curious people in their own world of thoughts, while the two culprits were dragged to the Court.
