MY SUGAR MUMMY IS A BEAUTIFUL VAMPIRE

Chapter 188: City wall and knight post

In the heart of the vampire city, the cloak of night draped itself over the cobblestone streets and towering spires, casting everything in an inky veil. Though the absence of natural sunlight made it difficult to discern between day and night, there was a palpable shift in the atmosphere that signaled the transition.

As dusk descended, the normally quiet alleys and bustling marketplaces began to stir with renewed vigor. Vampire denizens emerged from the shadows, their movements fluid and purposeful as they went about their nocturnal activities. The air crackled with a sense of anticipation, a collective energy that pulsed through the city like a heartbeat.

For vampires, night was their domain, their time to roam freely under the cover of darkness. It was when they felt most alive, their senses heightened by the absence of daylight. The streets buzzed with activity as they congregated in taverns and brothels, exchanging whispered secrets and indulging in their primal urges.

But beneath the surface bustle of the city, a tension lingered—a quiet unease that had settled over the vampire population in recent months. The once vibrant nightlife had been tempered by a sense of caution, a wariness born from the looming threat that lurked just beyond their borders.

In the shadows of the city, whispers of unrest circulated among the vampire elite. Rumors of outsiders encroaching upon their territory, of whispered alliances and clandestine meetings held in the dead of night. It was a time of uncertainty, a time when even the most powerful vampires treaded carefully, wary of the dangers that lurked in the darkness.

Despite the air of apprehension that hung over the city like a shroud, there was an undeniable allure to the night. It was a time of freedom and indulgence, a time when vampires could shed their mortal trappings and revel in the primal instincts that defined their existence.

As the moon rose high in the sky, casting its silvery glow over the city below, the vampires of the night emerged.

Beyond the fortified walls of the vampire city, a dense shroud of mist enveloped the landscape, obscuring the sprawling metropolis from prying eyes. To the uninitiated observer, it appeared as nothing more than a natural phenomenon—a thick fog clinging to the outskirts of the city like a protective barrier.

But this mist was no ordinary fog; it was a carefully crafted illusion, woven by the arcane magic users among the vampire population. These skilled practitioners had erected the mystical veil centuries ago, using their formidable powers to conceal the true extent of the city from outsiders.

From a distance, the mist veiled the towering castles and sprawling streets of the vampire city, rendering them invisible to all but those who knew how to navigate its hidden depths. It was a testament to the ingenuity and power of the vampires who had built their stronghold in this remote corner of the world.

While few humans ventured into this remote region, the vampires knew the value of caution. The cloak of mist served as an additional layer of security, shielding their city from unwanted attention and prying eyes. Even modern technology, with all its advancements, proved ineffective against the magical barrier that shrouded the vampire city.

Within the confines of the mist, the vampires lived and thrived, secure in the knowledge that their sanctuary remained hidden from the outside world. Cellphones ceased to function the moment one crossed into the city limits, their signals swallowed by the arcane energies that permeated the air.

For the vampires, the mist was more than just a means of concealment—it was a symbol of their power and sovereignty. As they moved through the shadowy streets and towering spires of their hidden city, they knew that they were truly masters of their domain, hidden from the prying eyes of the mortal world.

Perched atop the towering fortified walls of the vampire city, the vampire knights stood as vigilant sentinels, their sharp eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of danger. Clad in armor forged from the darkest metals and wielding weapons honed to a razor's edge, they were the formidable guardians of the bloodsucking community.

The knights were clad in red and black armor, a uniform that spoke of their allegiance and unity. Each piece of armor was crafted with precision, the metal gleaming softly in the dim light of the night. The red and black color scheme lent an air of intimidation to their appearance, symbolizing strength and authority.

From their helmets adorned with menacing visors to their chest plates emblazoned with intricate designs, the knights presented a formidable sight as they stood vigil atop the fortified walls.

Although the various royal or noble families had their own distinct knight uniforms, those stationed at the wall all wore the same red and black armor. This uniformity emphasized their collective duty to protect the city and its inhabitants, setting aside individual affiliations for the greater good.

These knights were not mere ceremonial figures; they were the frontline defenders tasked with safeguarding the integrity of the city from external threats. Whether by day or by night, they remained steadfast in their duty, their unwavering vigilance a testament to their dedication to protecting their homeland.

Sleep was a luxury rarely afforded to these vampire knights, their duties demanding constant attention and unwavering focus. They stood watch upon the walls, their senses attuned to the slightest disturbance in the air. The recent encroachments by the outsiders had only heightened their vigilance, instilling a sense of urgency in their patrols and fortifications.

Never once did they abandon their posts, for they understood the gravity of their responsibility. The safety of the vampire city rested upon their shoulders, and they would not falter in their duty to defend it against all threats, both known and unknown.

Under the cover of darkness, the sanguines arrived at the fortified walls of the vampire city, their carriages laden with precious cargo: gallons of blood, the lifeblood of their kind. The sanguines delivering blood were clad in all white robes, a stark contrast to the dark armor of the knights.

Their garments billowed softly in the night breeze, creating an ethereal aura around them as they ascended the walls. The purity of their attire symbolized their role as bearers of life-giving sustenance, their mission to ensure the nourishment and survival of their vampire brethren.

With practiced efficiency, they unloaded the heavy containers, their movements swift and purposeful as they prepared to deliver the sustenance to the vampire knights stationed atop the walls.

The climb was no easy feat, the sheer height of the walls a testament to the city's commitment to security and defense. But the sanguines were accustomed to such challenges, their supernatural strength and agility allowing them to scale the walls with ease.

The knights, ever vigilant in their watch, remained steadfast in their positions, their eyes keenly scanning the horizon for any signs of danger. As the sanguines approached, the knights descended from their lofty perches on the wall. Their movements were graceful yet purposeful as they descended to ground level atop the wall to receive their much-needed nourishment.

Each knight took hold of their allotted gallons of blood, hoisting them effortlessly as they began the arduous ascent back to their posts atop the towering walls.

As they reached the summit, the knights wasted no time in partaking of the life-giving elixir contained within the gallons of blood. With each draught, their strength was renewed, their senses sharpened, ready to face whatever challenges the night may bring.

One by one, the gallons were passed around and each knight got their fill and kept some for later.

The sanguines continued climbing the wall and delivering the blood.

There was no exchange between them other than curt nods.

Once the blood was delivered, the sanguines would climb back down and head back to the inner city.

However, one odd thing happened with one knight at his post whose blood was delivered to him.
