Plundering in the Apocalypse

What is the status of the Luxembourg family? What does it mean to be a royal Vampire?

For the vampires of the Hazel-Rock country. The family at the highest position among vampires is the Luxembourg family.

A vampire is differentiated as per purity of bloodline. Every vampire believes in the purity of blood. High-level vampires don't even glance at the low-quality blood.

For vampires blood is everything. It's their strength, it's their status, it's their goal, it's their dream. In simple terms, blood decides everything.

The vampires who have high concentration and purity of blood become the leaders and those of poor quality can only be followers.

The Vampires are divided into ranks.

Vampire Slave --> Vampire Civilian --> Vampire Soldier --> Vampire Lord --> Vampire Knight --> Vampire Baron/ Baroness --> Vampire Count/Countess --> Vampire Prince/ Princess --> Vampire Duke/Duchess --> Vampire King/ Queen --> Vampire Emperor/ Empress --> Vampire Ancestor --> Vampire God.

The highest ranking of the current Vampires in Hazel Rock country is Vampire King/ Queen. As for Vampire Emperor/ Empress, it's been more than 500 years since the last Vampire reached that rank. No one knows if that person is still alive or not. That information is sealed by the high-ranking Vampires. As for Vampire Ancestors, there's only one person recorded in the history of vampires who reached that rank. But it's been more than 2000 years.

Vampire God is just a myth. It's an impossible dream of Vampires. Because Vampire God is an existence beyond belief.

A vampire's lifespan is also depended on its rank. It's common knowledge that Vampires live longer than human beings. But for how long, depends entirely on their rank. A Vampire Duke can live for more than 400 years. Vampire king 1000 years. Even Vampire ancestors can live for thousands of years.

As for Vampire God, people believe that existence can only be described as immortal. But no one knows the actual truth.

Anyway, the vampires of Hazel rock country have existed here for thousands of years. They also have a long history behind them and many legends written. But after the war 300 hundred years ago. Information about vampires was deliberately hidden from the general public.

So today's vampires have been living among humans without exposing themselves.

Although hidden they can be regarded as powerful clans anywhere. After all their strength is like human martial artists. But because of differences in species, even they have scruples from time to time.

The head of the Luxembourg family was a vampire king. He was also Louis' father. As per the family rules Louis' was supposed to become the next head.

Valor Luxembourg was the second son of Alaric Luxembourg, the vampire king and the head of the Luxembourg family. In other words the ruler of the current vampires.

Valor was his son from his second wife whose bloodline was not that great compared to the first wife. So, he was eliminated by default from his right as a successor because of the existence of the eldest son Louis Luxembourg. This made Valor envious.

But when Louis committed a taboo by marrying a human and giving birth to a Damphir. Everyone was extremely displeased. So the right to succeed in the seat naturally came to Valor.

But instead of being happy he was extremely displeased. He felt like he was just a substitute. The felt like eating someone else's leftover food. Thinking that he was very displeased. After all, Louis kicked out his right to be an heir. But if Valor were to just accept it his ego won't allow it.

Unfortunately, he was in no position to say anything. Because Alaric had already given his understanding to Louis. Even if others raised their objections they were immediately stopped by him.

Alaric's love for his first wife made him unable to go against Loius's wishes.

So he was Louis's support. Although he knew things will be very difficult from now on. But he won't let any harm come to Louis and his new family.

With some regrets, Alaric used his position's power to safely keep Louis out of trouble. Louis was provided with a villa far in the outskirts inside a forest which was made in memory of his first wife.

Louis trusted followers also followed after him even when he was kicked out by the family.

Each one of them had the powers above Vampire Count. Even his most loyal butler, Niles, who served Louis since he was small followed him.

After leaving the family Louis lived a happy life with his wife and daughter.

It's been more than 8 years since then. But now the sudden appearance of Valor was probably going to bring high tides on their peaceful life.

***

"You did the biggest taboo which a royal vampire should never do. Marrying a human and giving birth to a filthy child. A Damphir."

Seeing that Louis's face was getting darker by the second. Instead of being afraid Valor was very happy inwardly. Though he was very weak in front of Louis and was no match for him. His current goal was to piss off Louis and let him take action.

"You know I can help you return to the family." Seeing that Louis didn't speak Valor smirked and continued.

"You just have to kill your daughter and let my vampire slaves eat your wife."

*Kaboom*

At this moment all of Louis's restraint was gone.

A heavy punch landed on Valor's jaw and his body blasted off breaking the wall behind him and landing far outside the mansion. One can imagine how powerful that punch might have been.

"Fu*ker you have a death wish."

What heir to the Luxembourg family?

So what if he has a lot of backing now?

He will become an enemy of the family. But does it matter? His wife and daughter are far more important than any position or power.

Before he didn't do anything to Valor thinking that it was a trap. But what does it matter if it's a trap? If he can't even protect his wife and daughter he might as well not be a man.
