Chapter 881: The King's Vault

Underneath the King's castle, a large smirk appeared on Quinn's face right about now, as he imagined the other side not getting their way.

'Damn it, if only I knew who to picture and blame for all this mess, it would make this moment a little sweeter.' Quinn thought, but all he could think of was the clown that had come to visit him.

'Well, you seem sure that Muka and Jin will follow your plan, but based on their reaction, I would have to agree.' Vincent commented. 'However, I think whatever we have done, we have only delayed the other side. We still don't know why they would need the blood or worst-case scenario, Bryce was playing with us all along, and he had finally got to the position he needed to be in.'

Quinn doubted this simply due to Bryce's reaction when he had entered the castle. Right now, the only reason Quinn wasn't panicking as much about the situation he was in, was because if Bryce had become King, then he was the best alibi he had for Dwight's death. Just like, Quinn didn't suspect Bryce, it should be the same the other way round.

There was one thing Vincent was right about though, this small move, he was unsure if it even faltered the other side's plans even a little.

"Are you sure you want to change your vote to..to..to Bryce!" Jill stuttered over her words, she was that angry.

"The two of us have had time to think about it, and we believe the way the current vampire settlement is right now, Bryce is the best leader for the situation we are in at the moment." Muka replied. "If times were like they were before, then I believe Cindy would have been the best choice. A lot has happened in this week, and I fear if Cindy was in charge, it would happen again, whereas for Bryce, there aren't many that would go against him, whether he chooses the right or wrong path, us as council members, can only guide him."

Muka didn't have to explain his position. He was free to vote as he wished, but he wanted to give sound reasons for the others that were supporting Cindy, so it didn't seem like he was being threatened or controlled like some others might have thought. This way, they would be more accepting of Bryce when the Crown was switched.

"Well, let's make an announcement, a new King has been decided, and we shall have the crowning ceremony within the hour. Invite everyone to the front of the castle to make them aware of the news." Bryce said, leaving the room giving his first order as King.

The message was soon sent out to everyone in the settlement that they should gather in the plaza that was stationed in front of the King's castle once more. This time there was no built platform, as they would instead wait for whoever was crowned to come out and give their official first speech.

The people did not know who had been selected as King, but what they were surprised about was that there would be no duels. They knew of the split vote and thought that it might come to a duel, but the fact that an announcement had been made told them that someone had been selected.

It didn't take long for everyone to gather in front of the plaza, however, those that were in the tenth inner castle area, did not move from their spot. Even though they were invited.

Paul knew most likely that only bad things awaited them, and he had stated to those from the tenth family, they would only follow the orders of Quinn, and that was it. He would follow the last words of Quinn.

Which pleased Peter greatly for the first time, as the two of them were on the same wavelength.

All the vampires were waiting anxiously, staring upward at the King's castle. Around halfway up the gigantic castle, there was a balcony the King would walk out on, and usually the only person that could was the King themselves, and his Royal knights.
