Return of the Father
How many times in your life will you see the Elder? An ordinary human living outside the principality would normally only see it once in their life. After encountering the Elder once, he would have lost his life. Whether it be a family member or a meal.
In that sense, how lucky I am to be alive while still receiving attention from the Elder Three.
“Sniff sniff. What an unreliable male. You look weak. Is this really the human king?”
“Hey, why did you bring something suspicious like this?”
“Are you good at fighting? Wouldn’t you like to compete?”
“Give me if anything breaks. I will fix it and try it.”
No, maybe a very unlucky human being.
The boar beast man widens his eyes and sniffs. A little witch with stitch marks all over her body spins around me. Caught between them, I was on the verge of being crushed to death at any moment. If you want human blood, give it a little bit and it will end.
To think this is because Tyr was away for a while. Is there anyone who can save me
“That’s it.”
Have my prayers reached the sky? Valdamir, who had just arrived, restrained them in a low voice. The two elders disapproved of his words, who had unrivaled power and status among the elders, but left me.
Red Blood Ball Valdamir didn’t even look at me as if he wasn’t interested.
“It has nothing to do with whether he is the king of men or not. There is only one important fact for us, that the founder brought him.”
“Tch, I don’t like that!”
At his cold point, Kabila turned his head away with a sullen expression. Even in the middle of it, Lungken couldn’t let go of his lingering feelings.
“Valdamir. Aren’t you curious! He was called the King of Humans! I’ve seen the king of beasts countless times, but this is the first time I’ve seen a human king! Is that true, what kind of power would it have, and why did it appear with the progenitor!”
“We are vampires, Lungken.”
If Lunken is a flame, Valdamir is like a cold sunken sea. Even with plausible questions, Valdamir answered in an infinitely calm and calm manner.
“Our king and god is only one founder. The king of men has nothing to do with us.”
I’m sure you can get rid of the flames and water droplets. However, no matter how huge the flame, if you throw it into the lake, it will die out. In front of Valdamir, Lunken soon lost his momentum.
“Sniff. Got it, got it!”
Rungken walks away with footsteps thumping. I let out a sigh of relief when I saw the two at a distance… I couldn’t. Instead, I laughed at the small drops of blood swirling around my body.
Not interested. The most dangerous human being is paying attention to me!
‘There have been a few times when the ancestors have shown interest in humans, but so far it has been nothing more than an interest. However, something is different now. What’s the difference, I’ll have to figure it out.’
The drops of blood are paying attention to my every move. Dissected alive… It’s not like I’m being attacked, but I’m observing and evaluating me as if I’m not Valdamir.
Not interested? Yeah, that’s not wrong He has no interest in me, the ‘king of men’! However, as a ‘guest brought by the founder’, I am very curious!
The fortunate thing is that he has no intention of harming me. He purely tries to observe only the line that does not disturb me. The reason is, of course, loyalty to the founding father….

Is that true of loyalty alone? Even if you’re a vampire?
I can read people’s minds, but I don’t know everything. Did you realize all the implications and reason contained in the book just by reading it once? Mind reading ends at the level of reading people as if they were written documents. So, it is necessary to wait and see. Sometimes it’s just to clear my doubts.
Ah, I can’t stand it. I burst out and asked with a smile.
“Red Blood Ball. Where is Tyr?”
It’s a simple question, but there are many things under it. The deepest emotion among them is provocation. I emphasize that it is not the case that you can call Tyr, your god and king, by his nickname.
At first, even the elders didn’t notice. It was because they couldn’t even relate the name Tyrkanjaka to them. At least Kabila noticed it a beat later and opened her eyes wide.
“What? Tyr? I’m really asking just in case. You. Didn’t that call her sister?”
“That’s right. Tyr. Your ancestor, Tirkanjaka.”
“Do you want to die?”
The other side is a monster that has eaten humans for hundreds of years. It exudes a menacing spirit like that, but you can’t really kill it by just talking like that. Because I am Tyr’s guest. Instead of being scared, I responded leisurely.
“No, we decided to talk to each other. Why is that? That’s why you call me sister too, right?”
“Sijo is my sister, so it’s only natural to call her sister! But for a kid like you to call her sister by her first name, and she by her nickname!”
Kabilla rather shouted out in anger.
“I can’t stand the envy!”
“Are you envious? Then you can do that too.”
“How dare you, her sister’s name… ! Anyway, don’t do it! Because you don’t deserve it!”
“What qualifications do you need to call someone by their first name?”
“First of all, it’s me! My older sister is 1208 years old, and I am 1108 years old! It’s a clear century difference between us! If I call her sister by a nickname, I should do it before you, who has no blood on her head!”
… The meaning that there is no blood on that head must be a literal meaning. I was dumbfounded at the remark that only a blood-curdled vampire could make.
“Is age really that important? Well then, should I say her grandmother?”
“Not enough! My sister will be much older than your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmothers! Okay?! The gap between you and your sister! So don’t call me friendly from now on!”
The exact opposite of Tyr. The line to emphasize age on the contrary. Anyway, that’s Kabila’s reaction. Lungken thinks he’s cocky, but he’s not as delicate as Kabila.
Then… What was the expected reaction from Valdamir?
“As the father said earlier, the father goes to the dark lighthouse.”
Huh? Are you calm?
It’s to the point where I wonder even while reading my mind. Valdamir is curious about me, but that doesn’t cross the line of curiosity. Not Kabila’s jealousy or Lungken’s indifference, but pure curiosity.
You are a unique person. It will be worth reading I looked at him as equals and said.
“I heard you are going to the Dark Lighthouse. But I’ve never heard of the word dark lighthouse, and I don’t even know where it is, so I’m curious because there’s no explanation, right?”
“There is no need to wonder. It’s hard to understand, and even if you understand it, it’s useless.”
“What if I asked for information out of simple curiosity?”
I expected a reaction, but unfortunately, Valdamir kindly responded.
“It is made of darkness that is difficult for humans to understand, so I will not explain its appearance or structure. Instead, I will tell you exactly what it is for. The lighthouse of darkness is the beacon that announces the return of the ancestors.”
“A beacon?”
If it’s a beacon, you’re lighting it, right? How to light a beacon in the dark? It’s still dark around here, so even if you light a fire, the light won’t even leak out, let alone smoke….
Around the time I tilted my head in doubt.
Darkness exploded in the pitch-black tower.
If light can flash, darkness, the absence of light, can too. Vampires are hit by sunlight. In other words, it means that they are more sensitive to light than anyone else.
The same darkness to human eyes is visible to vampires. Where does this darkness come from, and who belongs to it.
Tirkanjaka, the ancestor who set off in search of a place for vampires to live, passed the Cloud Falls and found a misty land. It was decided to establish a country on that land, but the water fog could not completely block the light of the sun poking its head out over the horizon.
So Tyr shared his darkness. It dyed the fog with darkness and scattered it throughout the principality. Thanks to this, vampires were able to live in the Mist Principality day and night.
The founder, Tirkanjaka, is the tribal god of vampires and the eternal king of the Mist Principality. That is also why the Red Blood Ball, who is practically a king, insists on the title of ‘Gong’. The vampires built dark lighthouses throughout the principality to honor the great ancestor.
There is only one vampire who can handle darkness. So that everyone knows when the founder returns, and prepares and welcomes it.
Tyr darkened the lighthouse of darkness.
Leaving the pulsating darkness behind, Tyr emerged from the darkness in the form of a faint tower. First, bright red eyes shimmered, then white skin, and finally a parasol floating as if assimilated into the darkness. Tyr with the darkness of the principality now looked more powerful and mysterious than ever.
The opposite of light. It is a lighthouse of darkness because it illuminates the land with darkness. Vampires are like this. Also, it’s hard to tell just by reading her thoughts.
“I have announced my return to all the lands, and now the whole principality will greet us. Let’s go, phew.”
Tir spoke softly to me. The god of the principality was smiling at me.
To be honest, is a heavenly god who can’t be seen or touched be a god? Moving a country by the chin is a real god. I did a good job with the line. I held out my hand and spoke.
“Then I will take care of you without hesitation. Can I do that much?”
The first thing he extended his hand was to ask for an escort. It is an act of entrusting one’s own safety to those who came to the manor. It’s a bit of an old manner, but Tyr likes it again.
As expected, Tyr answered my request with a pleasant smile.
“As much as you like.”
While holding my hand without hesitation. Pretending not to win, I followed Tyr and glanced behind him. Lungken and Kabila were looking at me, full of astonishment.
‘Sister… Did you laugh I haven’t seen a smile like that in hundreds of years!’
‘Didn’t the founder just invite the man? Sniff sniff. Something smells.’
Now, how about it? I mean, huh? I went to prison with your ancestors, and I was messing with my heart. Are there gaps that can’t be filled with just time?
He smiled smugly at the two elders. Great, this is a relationship. If you are going to put a line on it, you have to place it as high as possible. What will anyone say to me who won the heart of the founder? Red blood ball? hahahaha, what can a red-blooded worker who is loyal to the founder say to me….
‘The King of Humans. What did the founder see in him? What did he change the Sijo’s dominance to?’
Valdamir was still observing me. Without being swayed by my words and actions, only with the red and dark eyes of a vampire.
… Grunt It looks a bit difficult here.
So I set foot on the land of the principality, guided by Tyr.
Mist Duchy. To the country of vampires where humans are treated as livestock.
