Chapter 4045
“At the same time, the Royals and the nobles of the Kingdom will also support me with everything they have, hoping that one day a member of their family will marry into ours.
“Even with no Awakening or talent for magic, bloodline abilities are still carried over, and our descendants will be hybrids who, at worst, will have to choose between one of my bloodlines.
“Meln’s soldiers, instead, know that the moment they join him, they also turn their backs to the Awakened Council and their families. It’s not an easy choice, and only those who believe that the power they gain is worth the cost make it.
“So, if I can demonstrate my talent while Orpal’s bloodline only has the Vurdalak, or rather, its knock-off version to offer, the Awakened who are considering becoming Upyrs will think twice about it.
“After all, nobody knows if the powers of an Upyr can be passed down, and once an Awakened is marked as a traitor, there is no coming back. They can only hope that Meln wins and they get a place in his future kingdom.
“It’s the only outcome that doesn’t end in tragedy for them. That’s why even if I don’t reveal any Indech power and keep the advantage of surprise, the seed of doubt I plant will hinder the recruitment process.
“The Awakened will wonder what marvels I can perform and ask Meln if he can do the same. Unless his Vurdalak form can also tap into its different aspects, he’ll fall short of their expectations.
