After few minutes he went back inside
Walking slowly on the marble floor,towards a table designed for him,the table was at the back,its direction was facing the door,you could see everything from there
After he reached the table,he took a seat,the seat that his back faced the wall and his face the people
All the people inside the hall were looking at him and he knew it
After he sat on the seat Sirius and Brahm stood behind him
"Music"
Brahm,left to talk to the muscians,he told them what type to sing
After listenig to the sound of the instruments for a bit he said relaxed
"It sounds so good"He said
"What is the name of the song?"
"A silent night,your highness"Retorted Brahm
"Your highness,do you wish to have them working for you?"
"No,it's okay"
"As you wish"Said Brahm while bowing
While Damian was conversing with his butler,some people were dying of curiosity to know him,specially the ladies
While sipping from his glass and watching the vampires around him,someone caught his attention
He looked at her for some moments,then he asked
"Who is she?"
"Who?"
Damian signaled him with his eyes
"Oh,her?"Asked Brahm but then he was also the one who answered
"She is the wife of Cairus family head,Cairus Alexios"
"Her name is Leona,the madam of Cairus house"
'I see'Thought Damian
"Hmm"
"What is her relationship with Ictus Lucian?"
He asked again
"None,your highness"
"Most of people,avoid him because what happened back then..."
"Foolish"Said Damian
"If they think that we will be wary of them because him,they are foolish,if Lucian was at fault he would have died long time ago"
"Indeed" Said Sirius this time,who was silent until now
"Tell me Sirius,what happened back then"
"As you know,your highness, we executed Mason family together with other 100 minor families"
"We burned Mason Merion alive right in front of everyone faces and we sent his wife corpse to her brother,Lucian"
"Hundreds of thousands died that night"Answered Sirius coldly,without remorse
"But we also lost many brave and loyal soldiers"Sirius said again, sighing sadly
"And what was all this for,Sirius?"Questioned Damian Sirius
"All for you,your highness"Responded Sirius
"Yeah..."Said Damian with a slow and lost voice
He grabbed a glass from the table and he gulped it all in one go,after that he keept watching the vampires in the room
After some time,the vampires began to come at him,everyone presenting a gift
"Your highness, it would be my honor if you accept my gift"Said one of the many vampires around him,stretching out his hands that were holding a box in gold color,it seemed like the box was made from pure gold
Damian took the packet and opened it
When he opened it,inside he found a pair of rings,they were black with gold veins
Damian looked closely at the rings but he did not find anything special
The vampire that gave him the rings saw that so he addressed him
"You highness, these rings are not ordinary"
"Ha?"He said lifting his head looking at him
"These rings were made by a witch,as a favor for helping her"He said smiling,proudly
"Interesting"This catched his curiosity and he wondered what can these rings do
"Your highness, these rings can help their wearers find each other when one is in danger,it can also tell your highness if the other wearer is alive or dead"
Damian hearing this became joyful,this was something very useful and he knew that the one that made these ring was no ordinary witch
"This is a precious gift,i apreciate it"
Then he closed the package and he gave it to Brahm
"What is your name?"He asked the man that gifted him the rings
"Ray Andrew,your highness!" He replied fast,he was happy that Damian asked for his name,it meant very much for him
'It pleased his highness,the gift'
'I left a good impression and maybe this will help me get closer to him'
Thought the man
"How old are you?"
"And what do you for a living?"
Asked the vampire again,Damian
"I'm nine hundred eighty one years old your highness and i'm a jewel maker"
"Hmm,i see"
'This man can be useful' Thought with a smirk
"If i need you,i will summon you in future" Declared Damian
'Yes!!'Screamed the vampire in his mind
"You can go now"
"As you wish,your highness!"
Answered the man,rejoying
After Ray left,the others vampires also brought their gifts forward but after some time a man came
He was tall and he looked rich,he had a black suit,red jewels printed on the line where the collar corners started all the way down,like a long jacket,at his neck was a collar full black but with teeths,werewolf teeths
He was wearing them like some sort of trophies,he looked strong and noble,Damian knew he was a warrior and he knew his identity
'Lucian Ictus'
'I wonder what this man will bring to the table' He thought and then he smiled but anyone could hardly see it because it was a little smile but people who knew him,could catch it,after that Lucian stepped close right in front of Damian
Afterward he took Damian's hand and he did something no one was expecting taking Damian and the rest by surprise
He kneel with one knee,putting his right hand at the heart and then he kissed his hand,slowly
This made Damian very astonished,making him silent for a minute,then Lucian stood up,bowed slightly and declared
"I'm honored,to finally meet you my lord"
"This..."Said Damian,he was really surprised
Sirius who was behind Damian was grinning,as if he was expecting that,as if he knew
Lucian gave him a gift then he said
"Excuse me my lord, can we have a private discussion,when you have time?"
Lucian apologized and asked
Damian calmed down,he made up his mind and he decided to speak with this man after the party
"I will summon for you tommorow"
He declared,the man bowed and he said
"I wish you well,your highness"
Then he left,leaving Damian with some questions but he will get the answers the day after
"That was unexpected..."
Damian said, now sitting in his seat
"Did you know?"
He said, addressing Sirius
"Of course your highness"
'If he knows then my parents also know'
He came to a conclusion
"Why didn't anyone told me?"
"It wasn't important,your highness"
'So it wasn't important, was it?'
He asked himself
"You don't need to pay attention to these people,your highness " Sirius said with a serious face
""You have more important things to look after"He said again
"Indeed..."Said Damian slowly
"It's almost a full moon, your highness." Sirius said softly in his ear,so could no one hear him,with the fact that music was playing,everyone was paying attention to others,no one heard him
"Hmm,i know"
He said excitedly and happily, Sirius knew how happy he was and that brought a smile to his face
Damian had another glass and then ordered
"Let's go"
He said standing up from his seat and he began leaving with Brahm,Sirius,Natalie and two other servants following behind him
The other people inside the hall have seen this,so until he left,they kneelt.
