Chapter 3.1 - Ignored

In this world, there are only three vampire clans which are Haltz, Raltz, and Waltz. They are in different areas with the limits of the power of their respective territories. The first clan was the Haltz clan.

Haltz is a clan that has fifty percent pure vampire blood in their main family. The strength of their descendants was extraordinary and was the most feared clan.

The leader of this clan was a very influential person, and Haltz had territorial power in the south. Although there is a law enforcement or vampire committee called Harawaltz, which consists of representatives of the senior vampires proposed from each clan. But still, the leader of the Haltz Clan has his own influence, because the pure vampire blood he has is the greatest.

Next, the second clan is Raltz. A clan that has thirty percent pure vampire blood in their main family. Their descendants had power below the descendants of the Haltz Clan. They have territory in the western region.

Then the third which is also the last clan is the Waltz Clan. A clan that only has twenty percent pure blood in their main family, with its territory located in the east. The strength of his descendants was of course far from that of the descendants of the Raltz or Haltz Clans.

Of the three clans. The Haltz clan is best known for their ruthless leader, Raizel. Haltz itself is a clan belonging to the "kind" clan. Unlike Raltz who kills instantly, or Waltz who kills slowly.

The Haltz clan would rather consider the human or vampire a part of Haltz. In short, the Haltz Clan was still willing to think about life. Although sometimes they forget about this kindness.

Rai always kills his prey, this is still considered no more cruel than the other clans. The other clans treated their food as nothing more than food and usually, they would disappear without a trace.

Dead human bodies would be given to stray dogs or they would be used as experiments. To be clear, it would be much crueler than Haltz's treatment.

"Albert!" shouted Rai calling him.

"I'm here, Rai," he answered.

"Where's my food? Have you forgotten it's time for me to eat?"

Yes, today is the day Rai drinks human blood. Because the pure vampire blood he has is half of his vampire blood, he has to drink human blood once a month.

The descendants of the main family of the Raltz Clan used to drink human blood once a year. As for the Waltz Clan, they didn't have any problems if they didn't drink human blood.

"Th-that's... mmm..." Al stammered.

"What's wrong? Say it quickly!"

"I haven't found food for you. I haven't found a single woman in this forest," he answered, looking down.

"WHAT!?" shouted Rai, making the servants and guards who were there shocked. "I don't want to know! Hurry up and go to the forest and get me some food! I don't want to drink this disgusting blood again!" he insisted.

Rai also threw a glass filled with donor human blood which he found hard to drink because the taste is so horrible. Making the maids and guard soldiers instantly gulp when the smell of this splattered blood wafted into their noses.

Rai doesn't like human blood that comes from blood donors, it doesn't feel like the blood that is obtained directly by biting a human's neck. The taste seems bitter-sweet and the smell is not as sweet as usual.

This donor blood was also given by Harawaltz. This vampire committee will routinely provide blood stocks for the clans, but the quality of the blood itself is not guaranteed. Therefore, most of the flavors of this donor's blood do not have a delicious taste and only aim to quench thirst but not with desire.

Al then goes through the Silver Forest, hoping to find prey to be his master's meal. As a right-hand man, Al is indeed Rai's confidant, he is the only vampire who is trusted to look for food.

Rai can indeed drink the blood of anyone, whether female or male, young or old. But, he prefers to drink the blood of a woman who is still a virgin. Not without reason, virgin blood has a very sweet taste and a sweet aroma, just like honey.

This is what makes Rai love their blood. However, the problem is that it is difficult to find women who are still virgins. This is the Silver Forest. With the vampire legends, virgins were usually reluctant to come here.

On the one hand, Al cannot kidnap a virgin from the human world, because if he is caught, the fate of the vampire world will end. So far he only kidnaps virgins who are lost in the forest.

Usually, they will go into the forest for some reason, such as running away. They went to the forest to avoid the trouble at hand, but they did not know if another trouble awaited them in the forest.

***

Al continues to circle the forest, occasionally he climbs a tree or rather looks like a shadow because he moves so fast. He just darted to the top of the tree to look around.

Nothing. Not a single woman was in sight. But he didn't give up, he kept looking. If he doesn't find prey, Rai will be angry with him, and maybe he will end up as a slave of the Waltz Clan and have a very painful death.

Slaves would be treated much worse than animals. The slaves will not be fed human blood. If they are lucky, they will be given donor blood which is very unfit for consumption. But more often they will be given animal blood that has frozen and rotted.

Without realizing it, Al has been around the forest for three hours. Now he was sitting at the top of the tree, watching his surroundings. As he circulated his vision, he smelled something. A sweet smell, more precisely the smell of a woman who is still a virgin.

Even though he was sure to get food, Albert didn't look happy at all. Half of his blood is human, it is very sad for him to meet his people only to lead them to death. Compared to humans who know nothing but have to die, Albert of course chooses Rai who he has known for years.
