Claire and Aurora were inside the room as Claire watched her play the piano. Little Aurora was very interested in piano and she had been playing it for the last 3 years. Playing music was something very special for her. As she had watched her mother play it a lot of times, which inspired her. She even dreamt of becoming a pianist in the future.

Currently, she was playing a children's rhyme. When suddenly a huge bang sounded sending a tremor to their bodies as the walls in their room shook slightly.

"!!!"

Alarmed by the situation, the scared Aurora rushed to her mother's arms.

"M-Momy... what happened?" she was a little scared as tears started forming in her eyes.

Claire's expression was serious but seeing the scared Aurora in her arms she gently comforted her.

"It's okay Baby, don't worry. Mommy is here." While gently rubbing her little head she eased her nerves.

Hiding her serious expression from Aurora, Claire glanced in the direction of Louis' office.

'Dear...'

***

Outside the mansion after the dust settled down, Valor tried to stand up with a painful expression on his face. His jaw was punched so heavily that it turned in the wrong direction.

Valor firmly grabbed his jaw and adjusted in back with a painful groan.

*Gaah*

As he stood up, his expression was distorted. Although being punched was within his expectations. But he didn't expect Louis to not even hold back a little.

'Good, this bast*rd. You just dig your own grave. Now I can set the plan in motion.'

'Now I just have to let uncle know.'

With this thought, Valor wanted to return. He didn't dare to enrage Louis anymore. Although unlikely, in case Louis kills him now. Then he won't be able to do anything. Anyway, his trip here was successful. Now he can return and proceed with his plan.

Too bad, Louis wasn't done with a single punch. A moment later Louis dashed out from inside the mansion at an insane inhuman speed.

Valor wasn't ready at all. When suddenly another heavy punch landed on his face.

His already injured face became distorted again as he felt the blood coming out of his mouth and his body flew back 20 meters as he tried his best to hold himself stable.

'Is this the difference between the King Rank and a Duke Rank?' Valor thought as he was amazed as well as envious of Louis' blood purity.

Valor knew very well that with his blood quality, his chances of becoming a vampire king were very less.

Louis' was already a King rank, at the same rank as his father Alaric Luxembourg, the vampire king, the current ruler of vampires, and the head of the strongest vampire family in Hazel Rock country.

Though they were of the same rank it doesn't mean their strength was also the same.

Because just becoming a Vampire King is not enough to become the head of the Luxembourg family. Or even challenge the position. Because of the existence of family inheritance rituals.

Luxembourg has a tradition going on for generations where the head of the family transfers his inheritance to the next head.

As per the records or rather the stories passing through generations. The first head of the Luxembourg family was a Vampire Emperor, an existence at the top who ruled the vampires of that era. It was said that his blood purity was many times higher than the current ruler of vampires. He had the potential to become a Vampire Ancestor.

But one day he suddenly disappeared. No one knew where he went or what happened to him. The only thing that was left behind by him was his blood inheritance for the later generations. Since then, generation after generation his blood inheritance is being transferred from the old generation ruler to the new generation ruler.

Although none of the later generations managed to surpass the First Emperor. But their strength with the blessing of the blood inheritance was enough to lead the vampires for countless centuries and the position of the Luxembourg family was unshaken among vampires.

But it can't go on forever, with time the quality of blood inheritance deteriorated. As it passed through countless generations its purity was lost somewhere. So the head of the current generation is only a Vampire King rank. Alaric Luxembourg. Though with the inheritance his power is countless times stronger than normal vampire kings.

That's why even with Vampire king rank Louis is currently no match for his father Alaric. Unless he becomes an Emperor.

Originally the inheritance was supposed to be transferred to Louis. But after his banishment, it's not quite possible.

Valor who got the right to become the next head was only a duke rank which can be considered a shame in the history of the Luxembourg family.

It was because of his mother's lower-quality blood. His potential was very low compared to Louis. So he put all his hope on the family inheritance. Hoping to become stronger than his brother.

So when Valor revealed his intentions to his father and the elders after Louis' banishment. Which was harshly rejected.

Even the elders were not ready to allow him to perform the inheritance ritual then. As for Alaric, he was extremely unwilling.

'If I transfer you the inheritance with your current rank you won't be able to handle that much power.'

Remembering those words of Alaric which were like sharp swords stabbing through Valor's heart. He asked.

'Why am I unworthy?'

Alaric - 'Yes, you are not worthy. You are only a substitute.'

Valor - 'If I get the inheritance. I can be stronger than him. I am certain I can lead the family to its rise again.'

Alaric - 'You don't even have any powerful followers. With your pitiful strength, How can you lead the family? *Sigh* If only 'he' was here.'

Valor knew very well who Alaric meant. Of course his talented brother Louis.

The elders had different opinions of him. But eventually, they reluctantly agreed to let him be the next head. After all, Valor was only a substitute for Louis. If only he didn't commit such a sin.

Valor didn't rebuke them and just remained silent listening to all of Alaric's complaints and harsh words.

His only thought at that time was. 'I will remember everything. All your faces will cry in pain and you will regret all your words.'

It was later decided that Valor will be the next head but he won't get the blood inheritance unless he reach King's rank. Valor knew it was a conspiracy against him. But he could only follow the orders. With that everything slowly became stable and this stability continued for the next 8 years.

Valor continued to try different ways to increase his rank to become a Vampire king. But every time he ended up in failure. He slowly started losing hope.

Will he ever reach King's rank? If only he also had the support of strong vampires. But with his strength or was impossible to challenge Alaric or Louis.

Valor's rage continuously accumulated inside him. As his hope of becoming a King rank dimmed after 8 years of efforts.

Just when he was about to give up he heard a piece of news that lit a fire inside him. Maybe this fire was the rise of flames that brought disaster to the Luxembourg family. The news was that his uncle reached Vampire King rank and became the third King rank of this generation.
