Wandenreich

But what shocked Lucien the most was the next topic that his father talked about. He almost got a heart attack.

"With the Tepes House agreement, we have decided to construct an actual Empire."

Explained Asmodeus.

This was rather shocking news to Lucien, but he was rather happy about it. It would greatly benefit the Aeon House, as it would be easier to create and extend influence. Not to mention the fact it would also mean that fighting against demons and humans in the future would be organized and coordinated.

After some slight pause, Asmodeus continued in his talk.

"We have an agreement with the Tepes House, that we Aeon House would be ruling Imperial House and have all power, with Tepes House supporting us. This isn't that surprising, as those greedy vampires only care about their magic and technology. Fortunately, they never really cared about ruling land, as it was already seen on the Blood Island."

Technically the Blood Island was shared between Aeon House and Tepes House equally. In reality, Ghouls controlled the entire island, as Vampires were locked in their magic towers and researching god knows what.

They only came out only in three situations.

The first one was a lack of blood and blood essences. The second one was a lack of research material, and the third one was a grave situation when some powerful demons appeared. And in some cases, the fourth reason was lust, but this was only in the case of younger vampires, only males. Even Lucien's friend Dante already had three wives or so.

"This isn't so bad a situation. They would develop more powerful weapons and magitek, and in return, they would get more and more magic and technologies to research. Hopefully, some would join the army, as they are also powerful combatants."

Lucien noted down during the conversation.

He knew even though most of them enjoyed locking themselves in magic towers and researching everything that caught their interest, some of them would be able to join the army. Their skills in the field of blood control and magic were unparalleled and were useful in large-scale battles.

"Don't worry about that. Probably most of the younger vampires who couldn't spend years in seclusion would surely join the army. And many older ones too, as the new world would be full of opportunities and I forgot to say one more very important thing."

Said Asmodeus with a serious voice. He knew that younger ones wouldn't be able to hold back and just sit inside their magic towers or their seniors' towers and research magic. They, too, were a battle race but rather calmed down and focused more on the research of magic and blood control.

"What?"

"The creation of the new empire is already going on. Soon everything would be done, and also the creation of new laws, the army, and other important things was almost finished. With this, we could increase the efficiency of cleaning the underground world under Blood Island and also increase the killing rate of the demons that came to Blood Island."

This was certainly the truth, as the unified army would greatly speed up the process of killing demons and many other operations. You must know that cooperation between the two armies and creating one united were two different things.

"Do you already have a name for the empire?"

Lucien asked his father.

He felt that they were progressing at a very fast rate. He was truly happy cause when they created an Empire, his father would be the Imperial Emperor, and he would be the Imperial Crown Prince. It sounded cool and very majestical that he could introduce himself as Imperial Crown Prince Lucien Etras di Aeon of XXX empire.

"Wandenreich. The Walled Empire, or Invisible Empire, will be the nation of the last supernatural species, such as Ghouls and Vampires. A lot of ghouls are right now being transported to the Blood Island, and countless technologies and things are brought there."

Said Asmodeus with a proud expression. Lucien also liked the name of the newly-created little empire with a few hundred residents. Wandenreich sounded imposing and majestical enough for just a name to scare some weaker enemies and even was true to its meaning, as it was a hidden nation in the shadows.

Just like a ghoul preying on his prey.

"Our race was never unified under the one banner, and now our time has come. After the Washuu has fallen, we can turn our sight to the hidden enemy... humans."

I said with a menacing grin.

"Indeed, even if we are not strong enough... demons are."

Said Asmodeus.

As this part of the discussion was solved, they soon managed to discuss every topic on the plan, except the one. One of the most important ones. The Royal Blood Crystal. This crystal was of utmost importance as it could even change an ordinary ghoul into the Noble Ghoul.

Asmodeus already knew that he would use it on his little girlfriends, as he knew about it long ago. But he still feigned ignorance about this matter and didn't say anything.

"What will you do with the Royal Blood Crystal, son? As you have obtained this crystal, you have the right to do whatever you wish with it."

Hearing this, Lucien was happy because he knew that this was a silent approval from his father to do what he wanted.

Lucien wanted to use the Royal Blood Crystal to awaken the bloodlines of four people.

Itori and Eto were in for certain. Other two were Arima Kishou and Tatara. Both of them were excellent warriors and leaders that could lead people. Wandenreich would have great use of them.

"As you already know, father, I would like to you the Royal Blood Crystal for the Awakening process on the four people. As you already know, two are my future wives because you should have investigated it."
