My Blood Legacy: Reincarnated as a Vampire

The atmosphere was... sad to say the least... Dante began to walk through the corridors slowly after leaving Sara; his ears picked up everything that was happening in the distance, and he wasn't quite prepared for it.

With each step heavier than the last... He already knew this was going to happen, he tried to prepare himself to support them, but...

Even he has his limits.

"I guess I can't always be cheerful, can I?" He questioned himself as he saw the maids lightly bowing every moment he approached the Emperor's room.

There was a small commotion, they were all... waiting for the obvious news... Dante, however, couldn't just stay listening to what was happening on the other side while they waited to deliver the news.

"He's gone," Dante said to the maids, who were also restless and sad; the day before, Velryna asked to spread the news about her father's illness throughout the castle.

"Sorry to ask for this at a time like this, but could you prepare baths for the Ladies? I can do it, but... I'm not sure if they'll be able to leave that room if I don't intervene and calm them down," said Dante. The nearby employees nodded, of their own free will, and began to prepare everything Dante asked for.

"Ah~," he sighed, his heart prepared for a few seconds, and he entered the room, opening the door without being invited.

No one saw him, no one turned; they just... remained kneeling by the bed as they continued to cry softly, they held his hands together, and Emperor Adam's body lay there, lifeless.

'May you rest in peace, and go through the cycle of reincarnation. Perhaps one day we can be friends,' Dante prayed with closed eyes as he saw that scene. He closed the door calmly.

"I don't know how to deal with this," he said in a whisper. It really was something complicated. Dante had never been through a situation like this, in neither of his two lives. Although he remembered little of his previous life, in this life he hadn't dealt with grief, the only one who died really was him.

He didn't know what to do in this moment, after all, unlike the women around him, who dealt with his death...

His steps were silent, respecting the pain that enveloped the two women before him. He approached the two kneeling women, his heart heavy seeing Velryna in that way. He felt... 'Why am I so powerless? Damn it... if I were stronger...' He murmured, was his strength the solution?

No, but he wanted to have something or someone to blame.

"Velryna... Aldria..." His voice was gentle at the same time, carrying compassion. He knelt beside them, placing a hand on the hands of the women who still let tears fall, the white sheet was already completely dirty from makeup, the faces of the women were... frightening.

The two women looked at him, their eyes red and swollen, the makeup had already run and stained their cheeks. Velryna, with her distressed expression, looked at Dante for comfort, while Aldria held the Emperor's hand tightly, as if she couldn't bear to let him go.

"Dante..." Velryna murmured, her voice choked with tears. "He... He's gone..."

Dante nodded with sorrow, feeling the pain of seeing his wife like this, squeezing his own heart. He looked at the Emperor, whose breathing had completely faded away, and nodded, as if speaking to someone. 'Please, treat him well,' he said.

Only Dante's eyes could see that, the eyes of a progenitor... the Eyes that saw the souls.

"I know, Velryna," Dante replied calmly, but laden with emotion. "He was a great man."

Aldria sobbed softly, her head bowed over the mattress. Dante gently placed his other hand on hers, offering silent comfort, pulling her toward him. Making her head rest on his chest, just like Velryna, the two could see each other's faces for the first time, something they hadn't done until then, after all, they had suffered together.

"He trusted me to take care of both of you," Dante continued, his eyes meeting theirs with sincerity. "And I'll be here for you, whenever you need me, forever."

The tears continued to fall as he embraced the two, but there was a slight sense of solace in Dante's presence. He stayed by their side, silently sharing their grief and offering the support they needed in that moment of farewell.

Dante offered a comfort that neither of them could receive now, it made them calmer, but the sadness... couldn't disappear overnight.

At least, now, Adam would rest in peace, knowing that his daughter, his wife, and his kingdom, could have a prosperous future, even without his presence...

Meanwhile...

"Why did you grant a demon's wish, Father?" Uriel questioned the stellar light scourge hovering in the air above the stars.

[I am repaying a kind man], the blinding light replied, almost pushing Uriel back during its speech.

"The siblings will misunderstand! Don't you see? Michael, Raphael, and Miguel are already discussing it!" She roared at the Light, which gently provided her comfort with its warmth.

[They will understand in time, use your eyes to see the soul, my daughter], He replied, and Uriel focused on the small dazzling sphere of golden light. When she read the lines of this soul's destiny, she froze.

"F-f-father, this is... Adam?! We just found out that Eve was revived, and now Adam? Father!" She quickly shouted, she wanted explanations... "If it continues like this... Cain and Abel...

No! Am I overthinking it, isn't it? Isn't it?!" Uriel shouted as she paced back and forth, trying to understand what was happening. "These souls shouldn't even exist anymore! I understand Eve, because Lilith took her when she died, but Adam? How did Adam's soul reincarnate?

Moreover, that vampire! Yes, that ridiculous woman! Wasn't she his apprentice?" Uriel was... well, I think she got a little lost and forgot she was in front of the Celestial Father.

[Uriel], He said, causing the archangel to simply break and turn to him like a robot in hibernation... "Y E S," She said paralyzed.

[You are still a child. Fufufu.]

"T... The Father laughed 'fufufu'?" Uriel thought... "Fufufu isn't a feminine laugh?" She questioned herself... "Wait, wait, Father! You're not a Mother, right?!" She quickly questioned and only heard something in her mind and immediately fainted.

"Tsk, I hate having to erase Uriel's memory, she's such a cute daughter, but she's so responsible," the female voice emerged... "I have to stop being eccentric when my daughter is having her episodes. Being smart is a blessing, but also...

trying to balance the angelic side and the human side is very difficult." She said as she left her throne in the midst of the stellar scourge and looked at the planet called Umbral.

"It's been a while since I visited my world, have things changed so much? Let me see... Where do I begin my pilgrimage?" She wondered, ceasing to be just a stellar scourge and becoming a woman...

"Let's see, hm..." She said as she thought aloud. "Well, demons are active here, here, here, and there," She said, pointing to certain parts of the planet. "If I go there, I might run into many problems. Damn it, humans are devoid of wisdom, let's see...

hmmm that Lyrianna Vortex has a good continent, but she lacks self-love and continues to do everything alone, she should take better care of her daughter." She said and then she looked at the planet next door, seeing a planet with three moons orbiting around it.

"Oh, that looks interesting, do the night beings know that an eclipse will occur? No, probably not... Hmmm should I warn Alice Arcano? I mean, that woman is very important." She thought, thought, and thought.

But in the end... "Tsk, I hate being a supreme creator and having to take care of things from up here," She said, sitting on the throne and snapping her fingers, but nothing happened. "Huh?" She questioned seeing that Uriel didn't wake up...

"Ah, it's you again. White Administrator," She said and a white light came out and the Administrator appeared next to the Black Administrator.

"What brings you here, Miss Administrator?" She asked and the Admins looked at each other. "I said, she pretends to be a man." White Admin said, "How much do I owe you?" Black Admin asked and she made her palm open revealing her five fingers. "Is this all?!! This is a robbery!" He roared. "Blame yourself for being a big loser," She replied with a smile, even though she didn't have a face.

"Hello, I'm here you know?" The woman on the throne questioned and they looked at her with a look that said "Party pooper"... even though they didn't have eyes.

"Well, let's get to work. Hello, Entity 000000100, we've come to deliver some news," They said in unison.

'Darn it... when these guys show up, something's wrong.'
