Rise of the Blood Sovereign

Chapter 14: The Empress and the System's Explanation

A woman opened her eyes as she sat on a silver throne. Her black hair flowed down to the floor and moved about, even though there was no wind present inside the throne hall.

"Interesting, a lord has been born, but not a normal one." The woman spoke as she glanced at a guard.

"Bring Lord Isaac to me."

"Yes, my empress." The guard bowed before disappearing from the spot. Even though he was only a guard, he was one of the personal guards of the empress and was a Tier V being.

The woman leaned back against the throne and exhaled deeply as she felt the cold silver touching her body.

"First the system had arrived, and now a lord appears, how interesting."

A mere 2 minutes later, the guard returned, but not alone.

A man that wore a long black and gold robe was with him. His hair was slicked back and a symbol of a three-headed snake could be seen on his neck.

"My empress."

"Leave us." The empress spoke as all the five guards that had been in the throne room all bowed down before disappearing from the spot.

"A new lord has appeared."

"Does the empress wish for me to bring him to her?" The man spoke as he looked at the eyes of the empress.

"No, there will be no need for that, he is quite a weak one, it will take time for him to grow powerful enough to join us."

"I have called you for a different matter."

"Do you remember when you came back about 23 years ago when you begged me to help you and that woman from the pursuers of the Eratnil Empire?"

The man's eyes suddenly constricted as he stared at the empress. His hands clenched into fists as memories of a distant past came to him.

Back then, he thought he had matured, he thought that frivolous thoughts and actions done out of pure emotions were not possible for him.

Yet a single glance at that woman made all of that shatter.

He not only fell in love with a woman of a powerful noble clan, but he copulated with her and sired a child. He had done two grave offenses of the vampire clan and by all means, he should have been executed for it.

But he still returned, he, a vampire that was close to becoming a lord returned back home and begged the empress for help.

He begged her to help the woman change her looks and to disguise her so that the noble clan would not be able to find her and the child that was growing in her belly.

The empress, in his shock, accepted it with ease.

She only asked for one thing.

That he would stay in the castle and become her right-hand man.

By all accounts, that should have been an honor, but it was far from it.

Isaac was forced to sign a blood pact with the empress, he was not only bound to her, but under her complete control. Every request the empress had would be accepted by him, whether he liked it or not.

"Yes, I remember."

"Well, the new lord is your son, the very child that you and that woman had."

"I see," Isaac said in a calm manner as his hands shook a bit.

"That is all, you may leave Isaac." The empress said as Isaac bowed down before leaving the throne room.

Upon exiting the throne room and walking through the halls, he clenched both of his hands before slamming the wall to his left.

The wall that had been created using magnetic stones that were mixed with monster bones and the dust and ashes of drakes and dragons was incredibly durable and not even an archmage could destroy it.

Yet a simple slam of the fist from Isaac was enough to not only crack a full 6 meters of the wall but also destroy the middle of it.

'My son, why couldn't you have lived a normal life?' Isaac thought before continuing towards his room.

In the throne room, the empress stared at the gate with amusement before giggling as she heard the wall break.

"Ah Isaac, what will you do now, come on, you have not disappointed me for 2 decades, let me have some more fun now as well, hehe." The empress giggled again as she stared at the gate in infatuation.

"The Empress has marked me, what the hell?" Lyle shouted in a mix of fear and anger after hearing the words of the system.

"How, why, why would the empress, one of the most powerful creatures of Corleon even care about me?!"

[ The system suspects it is because of the host's bloodline, the empress might be able to sense the appearance of a powerful new bloodline on the planet. ]

"Why didn't you tell me that before the evolution then?!"

[ The system was unaware that the bloodline evolution would cause a mutation and give birth to a unique bloodline, the host will be safe, however, as the system can sense that the empress and the host are divided by a large distance. ]

"The vampire's empire is on an entirely different continent, I guess you are right."

Ding!

[ The system will now explain the status screen and the changes it has brought to this world. ]

[ The system has arrived on the planet Corleon and most intelligent beings have been weakened while wild monsters have seen a boost in power. ]

[ All the beings on the planet now have access to the system. ]

[ The inhabitants of the planet no longer need to actively draw in mana in order to strengthen themselves and grow stronger, by simply defeating an enemy of a similar level, one will receive a portion of the defeated being's soul power which will strengthen the host. ]

[ The system has finished the explanation, the host will now have access to the most basic functions, farewell. ]

The gentle voice that Lyle had been hearing until now suddenly vanished after the explanation.

Lyle was, however, focused on staring at the status screen in front of him.

He looked at his level, before staring at what level he was at.

He had no idea how the entire thing worked, but he knew that compared to the previous him, he was much, much weaker, but his potential was larger.

"Alright, I first have to find my way back and give my report to the agent," Lyle said as he suddenly looked down. He only now realized that he had no clothes on and was standing naked in the middle of the forest.

"I have to find some clothes first."
