Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 88: Heirs with Destiny

After thinking about those issues for so long, Matt turned his attention away from them and focused on the book the elder in the bookstore had given him.

'That elder mentioned to follow the path stipulated in that book... What kind of book is it?' he thought.

There were several things that came to his mind. Perhaps the path mentioned there referred to the way to become strong, like the path he is currently following, where controlling his power is more important than becoming strong.

Or maybe it's a path around how to fight or how to develop his skills, although that might not make sense. Vampires who don't have ancestor lineage are limited to very few abilities because they are not pure vampires, and while he doesn't seem to be limited, there's no way that elder knew that.

'Tsk, a path can mean many more things than just that, it looks like I just have to wait for the right time to find out.' He thought and looked at Isla.

"How long until the three moons have a full moon?" He asked doubtfully.

Although Isla didn't know why he was asking, she thought for a moment and then answered, "I think about four or six months, but it could be less."

Matt nodded after this and went back to immersing himself in his thoughts.

Although Isla was confused by his sudden question, she also did the same without asking him anything else.

And so, the journey continued its course.

Several hours later, they finally arrived at the Second Academy.

"Matthew, Isla, come back carefully. I still have several more things to do, so I won't take you. Also, Matthew, you will be notified soon about the hidden reward; stay tuned." He said as he said goodbye and then disappeared.

Matt and Isla then went back to the villa where they lived.

Still, they hadn't even entered when they felt the presence of several people in the area, and more powerful guards were standing all around the side.

'Did they beef up security?' thought Matt as he approached.

Before he reached the door, the guards turned their attention to him.

"Stop, who are you?" one of the people standing guard asked.

"This is area confiscated by the Allen Family, if you have nothing to do with this place, please come back." Said another one of them, slightly startling Matt.

'The Allens? Could it be Alice?' He thought and then pulled out his identity token.

"I'm Matthew Dietrich, Miss Alice's subordinate. I live here." He said, startling the men in front of him.

"Young Matthew!" Said them in surprise as they quickly approached.

"Are you all right, Young Matthew?" they asked quickly as they checked back and forth to ensure it was him.

Still, they didn't have to verify much.

Although they didn't speak very loudly, they still spoke loud enough for Alice, who was inside, to hear.

She ran outside when she heard Matt's name and jumped on him from a distance...

"Matt!" she shouted joyfully; her face that had been troubled a moment ago now looked gleaming, and she hugged him tightly without bothering to think about who was present.

"Matt, where were you? I was worried about you!" she said as soon as she smelled his scent, which was the one that confirmed to her that he was indeed Matt.

Matt was surprised by what she did but nodded at her.

"I had gone to the First Academy with the director Noah, weren't you informed that I won the battle of the halls?" he asked doubtfully, surprising Alice.

"Really!?" She asked in amazement, and a big smile formed on her face.

"That's great, Matt! Hahaha, father sure will be happy, it's the first time a first year has won a battle of the halls, hahaha!" She said with great happiness at this.

In fact, she wasn't the only one surprised. Her family members who were present first were surprised by the fact that the Miss Family would hug a man in such a way.

Still, thinking he was the subordinate, they assumed it was normal. But the fact that Matt had won the hall battle while still a first-year would give the subordinates of the Allen Family a great status, so besides being surprised, they were happy for his triumph and started congratulating him from side to side.

Still, Alice didn't want to be disturbed, so she pulled him inside the villa; Isla also entered behind them.

"Alice, are they all the guards they sent to protect you?" he asked as he looked at several people outside.

But she shook her head, "No, don't you know that we are not allowed to have bodyguards? I'm Heiress of the most worthy Blood in history. I must fend for myself to defend myself when I'm out." She replied.

Matt was surprised by her response, "Is there such a rule? That's pretty harsh." He replied, and she smiled.

"The ancestors left word that that is the rule, so we must follow it to inherit their powers. Although it's different when it's a subordinate like you, but those are subordinates who carry my special token. The ones you saw outside only carry my family insignia; they are here because of my younger brother, the Family Heir." She replied, smiling.

Matt nodded slightly as he heard her say this. He had read a few things regarding what she said in the library he had just left.

The family structure of the Vampire Clans is strange, as the first two Sons of the Leader with the purest bloodline will become Heirs. They are the ones who will carry the destiny of gaining incredible abilities and trying to fight their way into the Divine City in the future.

They are called Heirs because they are destined to Inherit the powers of their ancestors in the form of abilities. For example, Sophia's clairvoyance.

These types of Heirs are often called 'Heirs with Destiny.'

On the other hand, the next in the line of succession will be the one in charge of leading the Family. He is considered the Family Heir, but in reality, he is only the third leader since the Family's main leaders will always be the Heirs with Destiny.

He is only there to protect the interests of the Family while the Heirs are away, and, in case the Heirs die, he will become the leader of the Family and be the father of the next Heirs.

It can be said that the Family Heir is just a shell, which they use to take the weight off the Heirs, but it doesn't take away from the fact that they are powerful since they do, after all, belong to a Vampiric Clan and carry, the blood of the ancestors.

"I understand..." Matt replied.

After that, Matt stopped asking her questions about it; instead, he focused on a more important topic.
