After a night of refining the blood and sound sleeping Damien wake up feeling refreshed and powerful .at same moment a he heard next morning after the sun rose Crowley knocking on the door and saying "good morning young master breakfast is ready and congratulations on you breakthrough" you started that maybe the rumour are true that he was a powerhouse but after an injury started serving as his butler.
he made a mental note to be careful around and if the situation allowed it ask him about his level and as far he could it really looked afterhim answering "good morning Crowley and come in I would love to and thank's and I hope with every meal from now on would include a glass of blood" .
Opening the door and saying"Yes young master it's already done"while he was putting your breakfast
"When will arrive at our destination"
"Young master from what commander said we would eat our lunch at the castle ".hearing this he felt relieved after all staying in the carriage even a luxurious as this one can only be tolareted for a while.so he told him to Wake him up from his meditation when they reach their destination "yes young master " answered the butler while sitting in front of you.after a few hours of traveling you heard him calling you name "young master Damien we have reached the heart of the barrony and it's capital 'Stonehenge town' the fateful butler descended from the carriage and kept the door open for him he tied it up his clothes a little he found himself inside medieval a town by all standards.
He looked around from the look it has been a long time since the castle has been maintained in good condition as for the town it looked more like an exaggerated village it probably houses around 6000 to 8000 people.
he will knew more once he meet the official who were responsible for running this fief but he shouldn't get his hope up after all this was a barrony far away from the centre of the the dukedom at the crossroads between waring states and next to frontier so the quality of the official who here delgeted here would on the low side.
After looking around for a few minutes the butler gestured him to advance towards the castle where servants and the garrison around 50 militia man from he could tell of there equipment where standin ready to welcome him.
when he arrived they shouted in unison ' welcome baron damien'
But he could tell they where a little unsettled or afraid but he couldn't tell why I mean his reputation wasn't good but it's wasn't that bad .
He will have the butler to ask around to know what's happening.
He faced them and said" thank you all for your welcome and hopefully we will work together for the betterment of the territory"
They shouted"long live the baron".
Then you walked inside the castle where on of the servant showed him his room it was the main room of the castle on the highest floor and you asked her to prepare lunch and to ask the butler, Frederick the knight commander and the chamberlain to join you.
She said :'yes'.
but he could fell Somme hesitation in the word but he didn't care for the moment he wanted to rest and refine some blood after all he need to advance to the next stage in order to make some loyal vampires to start his clan of rulers of the night that can protect him and also help him defend his realm conquer new one and also to supervise newly acquired land after all he will need to build a kingdom or an empire if he got the chance .
but all of this is just an illusion for one as he has to aim for higher realm or level control his already fractured realm and protect it make prosper in order to be able to pay for his army by industrialization and reforms.
He also has to think about the churches and sects in his domain which to empower which to exclude and most importantly the ones he can't offend and those who their doctrine is against dark creatures like the church of the god of light 'nero' those who call them self the white or righteous faction but this hurdle for later after he has some good control over his barrony.
also make some dampires after all even if the sun doesn't destroy him out right he could fell a suppression on him from the ray of light and he doesn't know if the more he evolve the greater the debbuf on home as for now it's aroud 10% more or less but it will need some round of testing like using his power at night then so same at day and also if all his power will be under this debuff or just the ones he gets from his vampire bloodline.
He also has to do some research of other powers like thunder,holy power of priests and the other powers who from novels or the folklore or stories of this world pose restriction on dark powers and living dead.
So after few spend refining th blood he concluded two things the first is that he is close to advance from low vampire Knight to middle vampire Knight maybe in a few days or less if he concentrated on refining blood.
The second thing is that moving forward he will need better blood and he has feeling if he consumed a higher level blood something good he will happen to him as what is it he has no clue.
He heard a knock on the door "lord lunch is ready" answering " I will be there in seconds".
He opted to tidy up his outfit a little he was a noble he need to keep appearance's even if there's no one to witness it.
A few minutes later he found himself in the dining room of the castle composed of a long table 12 chairs some decorations more notable the head of wolf hunged high giving the dining room the medieval atmosphere it needed.
He found the Crowley, Frederick and another middle-aged person probably the chamberlain and the caretaker of the castle.
He Stroud to principle chaire and gestures from to sit down and for the servant to serve lunch which consisted of cabbage soupe and some grilled chicken and glass of blood for him.
