"Father, we have to stop them."
"Yes, father, we can't allow them to continue."
"You have to do something about this."
"Indeed, this can't go on."
12 humans surrounded a human who was sitting on his chair with a leisurely look on his face. The 12 of them looked quite anxious, however, the man sitting on his chair didn't share their worries.
"Oh C'mon…" Caesar groaned.
Then, he looked at his 12 children and questioned,
"So you are telling me that girl, Aeliana turned into a Vampire?"
"Yes, she did." One of the 12 humans nodded.
A small smile appeared on Caesar's face and then he shook his head and chuckled,
"That girl must be quite happy huh…
Her attachment to Azriel is unusually high.
Tsk Tsk, I am jealous of that Bastard.
She is my daughter!"
"Father! This is not something to laugh at!"
A human called out.
"Yes father, please understand, Aeliana did not become Vampire alone, she has started converting other humans into Vampires as well!
This is a serious issue!
The number of humans is decreasing!"
The human spoke in a solemn tone.
However, despite his solemn tone, only a chuckle came out of Caesar's face.
"Number of Humans is decreasing?
Heh.
Are you telling me that Aeliana is turning more humans into Vampires than the number of humans that are born every day?"
"…"
The human who spoke turned silent.
Of course, the number is humans born every day was a lot higher than the number of humans who are converted into Vampires, however,
That wasn't the point!
The number of humans was still decreasing!
This would eventually decrease their strength.
"Fathe-"
"The latest generations of humans are weak, even if they turn some of them into Vampires, it won't matter, what we have to preserve are the humans with actual talents, focus on them.
As for the trashes that walk away from us, leave them alone.
Actually, them being converted into Vampires is actually better, at the very least, they won't lead a useless life."
Caesar muttered, and this time, his children didn't say anything.
His children could feel his intent.
He did not want to talk about it, therefore, they can not do anything about it.
In the end, they just turned around and left.
However, did that mean they gave up?
Of course not.
If they let the Vampires grow, they would have to give them a territory, that would reduce the territory they would get, no matter what, they cannot let this happen.
Therefore, they had to find a way to stop the vampires.
If their father won't help, then they just need to ask for help from someone else,
Someone who has the same interest as them.
The other races, or more specifically, the First generation of other races.
Soon, a meeting was held where all the Union Leaders were present, except Aeliana.
"What are we going to do about the Vampires?"
A human questioned.
"What did Lord Caesar say?" A demon questioned.
The Human, however, shook his head,
"He does not want to interfere."
"Hmm, the Progenitors don't find this interesting enough." An Elf muttered.
"No, actually, they find it too interesting." A dragon shook his head.
"Huh? What do you mean?" A Lion Kin questioned.
"The progenitors are looking forward to the birth of a new race, for them, this isn't threatening, they just think of it as entertaining.
The new race might bring new challenges for them."
"Or, they just want Lord Azriel to have fun." A demon muttered.
"…"
The meeting room turned silent.
"Whatever, it doesn't matter what the reason is, the conclusion is, that they aren't willing to help us. Therefore, we have to take this matter into our own hands."
A human muttered with a stern look on his face.
The leaders of other races looked at the human and then, an Elf frowned,
"When did this become a 'we' problem? Isn't it the problem for you humans alone?"
The human, however, was prepared for this question and smiled,
"Do you really think losing a few of our men is actually a problem for us humans?"
"…"
The Elf turned silent.
Reproduction was a human's gift, they were the last race that would worry about their members dying or turning into something else.
"We humans don't care, however, the same can't be said for you people.
The number of Vampires is increasing at a tremendous rate.
If this continued, then in a few days, the number of humans would surpass the number of Dragons and then, the Demons won't be very far either.
Then, the Elves, Dwarves and Beastmen, you guys will be left behind as well.
Are you sure you want this to happen?"
The human leader smiled.
"Also, if the Vampires continued to grow, then the territory we have to give to them would increase as well, of course, that would mean that the territory we would get would decrease."
The leaders of other races looked at each other and then, they frowned.
This was indeed problematic.
"What do you want?" The Dragon Leader questioned.
"We need to stop Aeliana from recruiting more humans."
"How are we going to do that? We have no reason to stop her. She isn't forcing the humans, rather, it's the humans who go to her."
"We just have to stop the humans from going to her."
"How are we going to do that?"
"Kill all the humans who try to 'betray' humanity." The human leader muttered with a cold look on his face.
"Huh?" An elf narrowed her eyes.
"Yes, the humans, or any other race who were born as they were was because of the 'Will' of Yrniel. That is what Yrniel wanted them to be.
Therefore, the Humans who wish to turn into Vampires are going against the 'Will' of Yrniel, they are betraying their Race, they are betraying the 'Yrniel' and they are betraying themselves,
This is a Grave sin that should not be tolerated.
Therefore, any humans who dare to commit this sin,
Shall die."
One of the Human leaders muttered with a smile and hearing his words,
The other Union Leaders smiled,
They needed a reason and now, they got one.
Now, they could act however they want.
What? The reason is absurd? It doesn't make any sense?
Who cares?
They just needed a reason to take action, as long as they say it makes sense, it will make sense.
They are the Union Leaders after all.
All of them didn't waste much time, soon, the news spread.
Going against the 'Will' of Yrniel was a Sin.
And the Sinners would be killed.
The message was clear and the action on that message made it even clearer.
The humans who tried to contact Aeliana were killed without hesitation and as more and more humans were killed, panic spread, and soon, the humans who wished to turn into Vampire decreased as well.
Not only that, but the Union Leaders soon released another scheme that heavily rewarded the people who reported the human who was about to 'commit the sin'.
Therefore, any human who wanted to turn into a Vampire was reported before he could even contact Aeliana, sometimes, the one reported was the human's own family.
With no way to hide, humans were killed mercilessly while for the sake of rewards, more humans came forward to 'protect other humans from committing a sin'.
Turning into Vampire had actually become a Sin for humans.
Everything happened so fast that Aeliana was unable to react and when she finally learned what had happened, she boiled in anger.
"Those bastards!
Father! We have to do something about it!
How about I go and challenge all those bastards alone!?
I am sure I can beat all of them now!"
However, unlike the angry Aeliana, Azriel had an excited smile on his face.
It was as if he was waiting for something like this to happen.
"Father?"
Aeliana called in confusion.
Azriel then finally came out of his reverie and turned towards Aeliana,
"Hmm? Why would be use force? Won't that make us look like we vampires are a boorish race with no classiness at all? Won't that affect our 'image'?"
"Huh? What do we do then?"Aeliana frowned in confusion.
"We will represent the 'True Will' of Yrniel." Azriel smiled.
"Father…
You know that something like that doesn't exist, right?"
"Huh? No no no no, Aeliana, the Will of Yrniel does exist, and those people are spreading the wrong will,
We, Vampires, will be the ones who would spread the True Will now."
Azriel smiled widely.
"…"
Aeliana looked at Azriel and couldn't help but shake her head.
She could see it…
He was having fun…
It was clear from his expression…
However, for some reason, seeing him smile, a small smile appeared on Aeliana's face as well.
"So how are we going to spread the 'True Will'?"
"With our strength of course."
Azriel smiled.
"…" Aeliana turned silent and blinked a few times.
'What happened to not being boorish!?'
