Chapter 10- Trial of the Vampires

Ayame: NO; you all can't do this; we do not have any evidence for this, and these children do not even know our laws.

Noel: Our predecessors made these laws to protect all life; we cannot break our laws, not even for our own children.

High Elder: This case was opened by an anonymous, but we still cannot ignore it, I suggest we bring the accused for trial.

The scene shifts as Ayame walks with Sebastian down the hallway

Ayame (angrily)- Who could have done such a thing?

Sebastian- Master, I suggest you calm down, we are doing our best to find the culprit but I suggest you tell young master Max everything; you may not have much time left with him.

The scene shifts to Suki and Azra sitting alone in the library

Azra: Suki, I have something to tell you.

Suki: Yes, what is it?

Azra: Actually, Max wanted to meet you.

Suki: Oh, okay, where is he?

Azra: Follow me, I'll lead you to him.

The scene shifts to the duke's office where Max is also present

Max: Why did you call me here uncle?

Ayame: You are going to be called into the court for trial with the daughter of the Demonic Emperor, you may even be banished; I will try everything in my power to help you but you need to cooperate.

Max: No uncle, I knew that a day would come when I would have to leave my family behind, it was nice knowing you, uncle

Ayame (smiles): Thanks kiddo, now is there anything you want from me?

Max (smiles back): Actually, do you have any tips on how to increase mana capacity?

Ayame: Oh! Come with me to the arena, I'll show you.

At the arena

Ayame: The key is to use as much as possible, since you are still young it will naturally expand as you push it to your limits. Got it?

Max: Yep, thanks; could you spar with me?

Ayame: Sure, I'm interested to see how much you have improved.

Max

The battle had just begun and Uncle had just disappeared, He was almost 10 times faster than the creature I had fought last time, instantaneously I created a rock dome around myself and began to search for possibilities until I found one.

Ayame

I broke the dome in a second only to find a hole underground, I was puzzled for a moment and then I felt something behind my back. It was Max, he had managed to sneak up on me, this was the first for anyone.

Ayame: Well, I lost, how did you manage to contain your immense aura?

Max (Putting a finger on his lips and smiling): That's a secret.

Ayame: Fascinating. Good job Max.

From the balcony, we hear a guard calling for Max. The trail was about to begin.
