My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2301 -768: Now This Is the Right Way for a Lord and Offspring to Interact

(Extra chapter for the brothers of “Frostfang’s Claw” [1/5])

The events in the Star Realm are somewhat distant for people in the material world. Moreover, after Su made the promise, Murphy anticipated that the God of the North Wind’s guidance to his daughter would not be smooth.

Murphy didn’t have any particular reason, just a sense and awareness when bad things were about to happen.

Even if one just uses basic logic to think, if Silver Wolf Helsun dared to defy Su’s will so blatantly, it means that guy is already prepared for the consequences. It can’t be that a well-known and strong demigod of the Star Realm just woke up one day and suddenly decided to start a grand rebellion against his divine father?

That’s not how you go about getting yourself killed.

Besides, even if the worst happens, Su has already made arrangements and has a complete plan, and out of courtesy, Su must be the one to complete his plan first. After all, it’s their divine family’s business, and it really isn’t Murphy’s place as an outsider to interfere.

Moreover, Murphy has more important things to do today, or more accurately, he needs to resolve a “life event” for his offspring.

General Maxim, ever diligent, had just completed his morning inspection of the grounds. A Blood Covenant knight found him and conveyed a verbal message from Lady Lainnia.

Lord Yvette, who was injured and fell unconscious during an “attack” by a Jackal assassin during last night’s patrol, has awakened. As her Blood Descendant, Lionea needs to report her recent work to her, and she requested Maxim’s company.

The underlying message here was quite clear; the Bow Knight no longer intends to drag things out. She wants to confront her elder at this time.

At this moment, the usually brave and resolute Maxim felt an unusual sense of nervousness.

It was a nervousness stemming from male instinct, similar to the anxiety a son-in-law feels before visiting his mother-in-law’s home for the first time. It’s a subtle and complex emotion that is hard for men who haven’t experienced it to understand.

It’s a nervousness that can’t simply be dispelled with sheer courage, especially when it comes to “wooing” someone else’s “daughter.” In this matter, Maxim indeed felt he was in the wrong.

Of course, the relationship between a vampire elder and a Blood Descendant can’t be summed up with such simple human customs, but the principle is the same. In the old-fashioned and conservative system of vampires, proposing to take someone’s Blood Descendant is far more frightening than a son-in-law visiting his mother-in-law.

An unwanted son-in-law might at worst have his legs broken and be thrown out by an angry father-in-law, but in the vampire world, things could indeed turn deadly.

Especially for those old-fashioned ones, asking them to release a Blood Descendant is akin to a direct provocation.

But the good news for Maxim was that he needn’t worry that Yvette Ryad would be an old stickler who values face above all. In fact, Sly Head was one of the most maverick individuals in the entire Vampire Society.

The bad news was that considering Lord Yvette’s usual style, to help Lionea gain her freedom, he might very well need to “pay” himself into the deal.

With such a complex mindset, Maxim soon flapped his wings and arrived at Lord Yvette’s “ward.” As he landed, he saw Lionea standing at the door with a battle notebook in hand.

His so-called girlfriend was far more nervous than he was.

Her characteristic long, slender Moon Elf legs were visibly trembling, perhaps not from fear, but from something more nuanced, a common emotion for a vampire Blood Descendant facing an unfriendly elder.

However, Maxim found it hard to empathize with her.

After all, since becoming a vampire, His Excellency the Monster had never felt any negative emotions towards his elder. Even before the First Embrace was complete, he had already devoted his loyalty and everything to Master Morphy.

Maxim wasn’t one to speak eloquently.

He could only offer comfort through action, extending his hand to hold Lionea’s slightly trembling fingers. He held them firmly, allowing the Bow Knight to temporarily let go of her complex emotions and look at him.

“I will walk into this house with you. I will face everything that happens next with you, as we agreed before, Lionea… no, Sasha! All you need to do is present your demands to your elder.

If she responds with conditions, I will do my utmost to help you fulfill them.

If she responds with malice, then leave the rest to me to handle.

I’m not as vast in power as my master, but I’m willing to challenge any difficulties for you.”

He spoke his simple vow with the sincerity of a true Transylvania man, using unornamented words, yet his demeanor was extremely earnest, making Lionea let out a sigh of relief at this moment.

She looked at Maxim, and after several seconds of silence, she said:

“I must confess to you, Mark, that at first, I only saw you as a tool to temporarily escape the shadow cast by Lady Yvette. My feelings for you were not as intense as I declared initially.

It was more of an avoidance psychology born from fear, much like how vulnerable women tend to seek a reliable man to shield them during low emotional periods.
