I pulled at the collar of my uniform from my neck, the feeling was suffocating to me but Isaac seemed not bothered by it as he stood next to me in the war room, the man didn't seem bothered by very much. Around us were the counts generals, squabbling like chickens with their heads cut off. What irritated me more than anything was the sound of godbrands voice. Ugh the sound of him trying to show off made me want to feed myself to the horde.

A hand being placed on my shoulder brought me out of my thoughts as Hector stood there giving me and Isaac a small smile which I gave in return as Isaac only nodded. It was quite before the sound of footsteps caused us to look up at the man of the hour. Our master and lord, Vlad Dracula Tepes.

We stood in silence waiting for him to speak as he finally stopped infront of all of us. "My generals" he began, raising a hand to gesture to them " we prosecute a good war. In killing my wife, humanity has proven to me that they don't deserve Wallachia" he said, moving to pace " Wallachia will now become our seats" he clenched his fist as he spoke. I could see the pain in his eyes as he spoke of his wife and what they did to her.

I hated my own kind for their selfish behavior and their foolishness. They all want one thing or the other, money or power. If you don't have either, your doomed to be their slave. They are too stubborn for their own good and I'm glad to be apart of this war and killing off these miserable people. I took a breath and calmed myself down, not realizing I shook myself up. I turned my head to listen to what Dracula has else to say.

"Hector, Isaac, (Y/n). Present me with plans for our next steps today" he said before he began to make his leave. That was until Godbrand opened his stupid mouth.

" The only three humans in your inner court, and they are the ones who will plan our next attack?" He complained. I sighed and placed my hands behind my back, trying my best to not end the bastard yet.

Dracula stopped and turned so he could still see us out of the corner of his eye. "The only three generals in my court who are not driven by thrust, the only 3 who are bound by loyalty and intellect. True they are not vampires like you and I, Godbrand. And that is why I trust them. For we are about the business of wiping the humanity from the earth and they still stand with me" he said and left. Godbrand stood there dumbfounded before he began to complain to the other generals. I could only roll my eyes and make my way up the stairs along with Hector and Isaac.

"Hey! where are you 3 going" he yelled after his tantrum. "We're going to talk to him" you said continuing to climb the stairs with Isaac as Hector stopped to face Godbrand. "Why would be want to talk to you rather than me? Perhaps he wants to meet with his own kind"

"Godbrand, you've never met with anything you didn't kill, fuck or make a boat out of" Hector said making you snort and keep walking. " I don't understand why our lord doesn't tie you up outside with the rest of the animals" Isaac spoke, you gave only a curt nod and walked down the hallway with the duo while Godbrand whines like an adult child.

You three made it inside the lords study before he could sit down. "Master?" Hector spoke. Dracula looked at us " Hector, Isaac and (Y/n). You may approach" he spoke softly, almost tiredly "We are honored by your faith in us. But to serve you correctly we have to ask-" Isaac began but hector cut him off  "why us?".

Dracula looked at us before looking away, " did you hear Godbrand down there? Livestock he said" he spoke as he began to sit. "So many of my kindred are the same. They can no longer conceive of humans as thinking beings. Just livestock" he said, sighing. "It's the privilege of our condition I suppose. You can't hate livestock,they are simply what they are" he spoke softly, looking at the fire. "Grazing animals to be slaughtered. But you 3 are different. You
are human, you are not looking at the scourging of humanity from the earth as an opportunity to get the livestock under control. You...hate your species" he spoke

I turned my attention away from the trio of men and stepped towards the mirror, looking at myself and giving a snarled look. Pigs is what the human race is. Nothing but hateful and stubborn people who choose not to listen to there own kind and refuse reason because of some god.I clenched my fist until my knuckles turned white. I felt my body shake as I thought of everything they did to me. Their mocking laughter and mockery to my name being thrown at me.

"(Y/n)..(Y/N)!" I heard my name and my head flipped to my lord in his chair who held a sort of amusement in his eyes. I hadn't realized that before and isaac left, leaving me alone with the count.

"Calm yourself, your digging yourself again" he spoke softly to me, taking my hand and carefully pulling my fist open to see the damage I've caused to myself again. I let out a breath I hadn't realized I held. "I apologize my lord. When I think of my own kind is makes me sick" I snarled.

Dracula gave a amused chuckled before sitting back down. " it will soon be over and you will be free from them and the past the hold onto you" he spoke with wisdom in his voice. I took a breath and unbuttoned the collar of my shirt, before I leave May I ask a favor, my lord" I asked the count infront of me.

"You may" he spoke. I flopped myself onto him and threw my hand on my forehead in fake grief. "Have them fix my collar so I as to not choke and die my lord!" I gasped and played dead while placing my hands on my own throat. I felt his body shake as he gave a soft laugh. "You always have your ways of making me laugh, (Y/n). Have you still not gotten used to the collar of your shirt?" He asked as I stood up.

"Not quite even though it has been some time but I guess it brings old memories into my head" I spoke quietly looking away from his ruby eyes. He only nodded. "I'll see what I can do. For now, rest. You have been up for a few days working on the horde, you need it" he said giving me a smirk. I faked a gasp "my lord are you saying I do not look good?" I said smiling. "Go to sleep with your jokes (Y/n) you can tell me more once your rested" he smiled at me and shooed me off.

"Good night, Vlad" I spoke softly and patted the counts shoulder before leaving the room and shutting the door, leaving the lord in his study alone.
