Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 158: She is a self-made woman

For a moment, both stared at each other.

But soon, she looked down and nodded at him.

"That's right, you're the first person to take my blood, Matthew Dietrich."

"I don't think I'm someone who deserves such an honor. What do you want?"

"No, you do deserve it. I don't need or want anything from you. If I let you take my blood, it's because I want you to know that I respect and admire you a little. I was originally jealous of you; the rank you hold should belong to me, and you are not worthy of being a Bloody Vampire General, much less receiving the honor of having 1 Star Adorning your Neck. I thought so."

"Still, you proved it to me this time. Not only did you show me you had enough guts to get into that place, but you also did it spectacularly. On a mental level, I can't beat you, and on a physical level, you are amazing. A person with so little power was still able to arrest all the nobles the Kingdom was suffering from," she said and sighed slightly.

She averted her gaze and looked out the window at the stars.

"They told me that you were not afraid to stand up in front of the leaders of the City of Clans and give them a verdict of the Kingdom. That is admirable, Matthew Dietrich. I would not have dared to do that."

Then she looked at Matt once more.

"For this, I respect you and admit my defeat. You took my blood now because of it. Just like the teachings of our ancestors, I will admit defeat in this way."

Her words were firm, and although she was a bit indisposed in her heart, she was not one who did not know when she lost.

In her motto of life, admitting defeat when losing was the first step to reaching greater heights. Therefore, this time, she wanted to invite Matt to her room for precisely this reason.

Perhaps it was solely to feel good about herself so she could move on.

Matt could see this in her eyes. His experience told him that she was being sincere, and it was a strange sincerity. He had never seen such a person in his life.

So, he found it a little curious and interesting.

Still, he said nothing and simply took a large sip of blood from his glass.

This surprised the woman before him, but then Matt put the empty glass on the table and nodded.

"If you do it this way, you force me to abide by the traditions of where I come from. As a respect for you and what you have done, I have to accept the gift in a good way," he replied.

"Still, I am surprised. Your father told me you were a bit stubborn and didn't like to admit defeat, but this is totally different from what he had told me."

"Everything I know was taught to me by my mother. She's the most honorable woman I've ever known, unfortunately I can't compare to her, but at least I can make the attempt. My father tends to be a bit ignorant of the relationships between families, so don't take too much notice of what he tells you."

Matt nodded at her response.

The two continued to talk for an extended period, and somehow, they were able to hit it off in just the right way. They were an interesting pair of friends who shared interests.

After a long while talking, she stood up and sighed after receiving a message from a messenger bird.

"Matthew, I hope to see you in the future. If you have anything you need, feel free to contact me, and I'll do my best to help you," she said, and Matt looked at her.

"Something urgent?" He asked, and she nodded, putting on her army fatigues in a moment.

"The Frontier these days is more heated than it looks. As a General of the Army, I must go. After all, I am the last one free; the others are too busy with what happened recently," she said. After perfuming herself with astonishing speed, she held her sword firmly and pointed it at Matt, who had risen.

"Good luck, Matthew Dietrich. I want to tell you that I won't give up on getting the rank I've been seeking for so many years. When I get it, I hope you'll be willing to fight me to see which of us is stronger."

A roar of vampiric power burst from her body, hitting every corner of the room with force.

Still, that vampiric power didn't hit Matt. It was simply to demonstrate her power.

Matt nodded. "Well, I'll wait for you and strive to be able to fight you by then," he replied.

She then turned and walked out of the entrance to the room without looking back.

She is not just any woman. She is an imposing woman who can cause fear in anyone who sees her.

Her aura is rougher and thicker than that of many men of her same power level.

A woman like her, who earned her status by effort and without requiring her family, is admirable and worthy of entering Matt's eyes.

'For her young age, to be able to be stronger than Reagan Cooper shows that she is a woman who has forged herself in battle. The aura of toughness she has is because she has forged it for a long time... Tsk, what an amazing woman.' He thought, even admiring her a little in his heart.

She reminded him a bit of his wife, Charlotte.

'It seems like swordswomen always forge themselves,' Matt thought, leaving the room to return to his own.

.

The following day, he was up bright and early and got ready. The King sent a host of stylists to groom and prepare him for the consecration ceremony.

Still, during the morning, there was a greater influx of influential people in the castle, walking back and forth with different news.

It was not all good news.

The news coming in these days from the situation on the frontier was that everything was escalating, and the war looked more severe than they expected.

Even Isla was in danger of being called up for duty in the army if things continued like this.

Even so, Matt soon gathered in a special courtyard where many high-level people were present.

Reagan Cooper and various government ministers. Dukes and Marquises were present.

Both men and women of high rank stood beside the King to consecrate the new Bloody Vampire General. Moreover, Dawid was not the only King.

There was also one of the Kings of the Five Kingdoms and a few others.

Although many of them had no idea who he was.
