Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 120: The Dark King, a powerful man.

Still, the members of the Army who were explaining all this to Matt did not have enough time to explain so many things to him. So, after answering his questions regarding the world and mentioning to him about the kingdom where he was, they started driving as fast as possible towards the Kingdom's Capital.

'Tsk, leaving someone who wants to find out more about this world in doubt is disrespectful.' Matt thought, though he was actually happy to know more about it.

Besides, he had been granted a map of the Dark Kingdom, so now he could investigate further the Token he took from Philip Baker, which was great and had him happy.

Thus, the long journey continued until they finally entered the vast Capital City of the Dark Kingdom.

The Capital City of the Dark Kingdom is one of the most important cities in the World today, so its fortresses are robust and sturdy, with many guards on the thick wall surrounding the city. The capital city has unique architecture and special structures. Still, it has earned its popularity because of the incredible variety of colors that adorn it strangely and mystically.

In terms of colors, the Capital City of the Dark Kingdom is unique and exciting. They use an original and enjoyable way of employing these 'colors' that give it fame. These colors are not paint colors but rather in lighting.

They were large, long lamps arranged in each building, house, or construction within the city. The prominent colors of these illuminating lamps were blue and milk white so that they could make a good contrast with the moonlight.

That is why it is known for its 'colors'. These illuminating colors on the streets adorn the entire city from start to finish. Although each section has its own decorations made differently with these colors, they all combine in a mystical and strange way.

The colors gave the feeling of a living city, and the large number of people walking the streets proved that it was.

'Every city I see is more interesting than the last, although living in a city with so much lighting would be a big problem.' Matt thought. Although he found this city beautiful and exciting because of its unique illumination system, he still preferred the darker, more mysterious cities.

Perhaps it was his personality as an assassin that made him like them that way.

Soon, the large caravan entered the Royal Castle. It was beautiful and was in the center of the city.

As they entered, the caravan stopped in front of the Castle, and a shout came from in front.

"Brigadier General Oliver Jones, by decree of the King, I bring to his presence Matthew Dietrich and Isla Moore! The Heir, Lady Alice Allen, is also with me; I request an immediate audience with the King!" shouted Oliver Jones.

Many of the soldiers ran back and forth upon hearing this, and after a two-minute wait, a tall man came out.

"General Jones, the King is waiting for you. Come in with the guests." This man said, leaving Oliver Jones stunned, though he quickly nodded.

"Yes, General of the Army." He said with great respect.

The man in front of him was one of the three highest positions within the Kingdom Army.

'I didn't expect to see him here.' He thought in shock. Still, he quickly got Matt, Isla, and Alice downstairs and entered the castle.

The man who had come out earlier looked in from the side and frowned when he saw Matt walk past him.

'Heh, Reagan bastard, you brought a good promise this time, haha.' He thought, with a genuine smile as he remembered his good friend.

He didn't follow them inside, though.

Soon, Matt, Isla, and Alice were led into the castle's main room.

There were several people in this place.

From the moment Matt entered, he could see many powerful people. Two wore very high-ranking army clothing.

Others wore more casual, nobleman-style clothing but working clothes with some embellishments on their clothes that appeared to be distinctions.

They all exuded a powerful and intimidating presence.

Though none of those presences compared to the man sitting on the throne.

His aura exuded grandeur and dignity. A strange and somehow invisible power surrounded him, but one that anyone who felt his power could feel suffocated, just like Matt right now.

It took just one look from this man for him to feel his breath slightly slowing.

He was not just anything. His face was known in the kingdom, and Matt occasionally saw his portrait at the Academy as one of the great men of the current era.

He was a true monarch of a Kingdom.

'The current Dark King, eh? What an overwhelming aura.' Matt thought, his heart full of surprise.

Then he looked at the two people to one side of the King.

One of them he didn't know, but he was a man who looked a lot like the King; maybe they were related, only he was more muscular.

Still, the other person next to...

'Professor Reagan?' Matt thought with surprise.

Reagan Cooper was now wearing clothes with notable distinctions and very different from the rest, that only military or high-ranking members of the Kingdom could understand.

Alice was surprised to see him like this; she could recognize him because she had heard his name several times before and sometimes got to see him. So, she approached Matt to whisper something to him.

"I never thought of Reagan Cooper as such a special person. He's the Commander in Chief of the Army, the leader of the Army after the King." She replied softly, making Matt even more surprised.

'Shit, I always knew he wasn't anything, but such a high rank?' He thought in surprise, though a shout brought him out of his thoughts.

"I answer the King's call and bring those he asked to be called!" Oliver Jones said respectfully as he gave a military salute of utmost respect to the King.

All the military men present made the same salute at that moment.

The King didn't want this kind of greeting, so he quickly waved his hand for them to stop.

He was the King, but he liked to be direct without so much meaningless procession.

He then looked at Alice and stood up.

"Miss Alice, it is an honor to have you here. Thank you for coming to my call along with your friends. How is your father?" he asked, respect evident in his voice.
