e taken away, so we decided to come to you. ”

Turning his head, Quinn was now looking at Xander who found it hard to keep eye contact.

’Quinn, it may not be my place to say this, but you need to make sure that they don ’t say anything to anyone else! Not at this crucial time. ’ Vincent advised.
’You might not like it, but you know what to do. ’

”Look up. ” Quinn ordered them in a stern voice.

With Xander ’s legs shaking, he slowly lifted his head.

’What is this pressure? It suddenly feels as if I ’m talking to one of the leaders! ’

Finally, when he lifted his head, Quinn ’s eyes were glowing red.

”Will you tell anyone about this? ” Quinn asked, while using the Influence skill.

As if stuck in a trance, Xander replied.

”No, since I have already reported it to my leader. ” He replied in a monotone voice and the Influence skill stopped working.

’What just happened? I just replied without having even a chance to think about it? Was that his power? ’

”Sir. ” Xander suddenly looked up, putting his right arm across his chest.
”You are going to do great things for this family! I have worked hard under the tenth family, and I promise you to work even harder under your Cursed family! ”

Quinn was surprised that his actions had resulted in earning Xander ’s respect, yet it was a welcome surprise.

”Thanks for telling me this.
You two can go now.
I ’m sorry for using that on you, but I just needed to make sure that this information will remain a secret for now.
I promise you that I will look after Erin and everyone else in my family, no matter who or what they are! ”

When the two finally left the room Quinn sat down on a victorian style large chair.

’So will you tell me what ’s wrong with being a dhampir or do I need to beg? ’ Quinn mused.

’Sorry, I was just too taken aback how the little boy in the past has grown up to the point he managed to speak like a real leader. ’ Vincent answered him, his tone revealing that he was half teasing and half serious.

’Your question sure is a tricky one though.
I studied many subclasses during my time, and it was my duty to report back to the King.
Of course, this also included information about the Dhampirs, yet it was completely scrapped and rewritten.
I assume what the kids have been taught about them is false, and I can tell you the reason why. ’

’Dhampirs aren ’t scary irrational beasts like the Wendigos and other subclasses.
I ’m sure even you can see that.
No, the thing that scares the normal vampires is what they represent.
Remember when I told you that the vampires ’ opinions were split into those who thought we should rule over humans and those that thought we should protect them as a higher form of existence? ’

’Similarly, they are stronger than vampires, especially when fighting them, they share the same skills and traits as us, but at the same time can even overcome the one weakness all vampires have, sunlight.
Don ’t they just sound like the perfect vampire? ’

’But now think about the implication.
If we feel we have the right to protect humans as the better life form… then shouldn ’t we allow Dhampirs to rule over us? It was why relationsh.i.p.s between a human and a vampire were forbidden. ’

’But once the new King took over that is on the side of protecting humans, why are they still considered a taboo? ’ Quinn wondered.

’Because it would cause conflict.
The King more than anything must think about its people, just like a leader.
If you have two sides already disagreeing about a single matter, just try imagining them trying to discuss Dhampirs? ’

’As I said before, no one has been able to see the true potential of a Dhampir.
Erin is still at the first stage of her evolution.
According to my research, she is able to evolve just as many times as a vampire.
It would be wise of you to hone her skills.
Allow her to grow and maybe one day she could even become your Queen. ” Vincent said straight at first, but after a minute he couldn ’t help but giggle.

Just then, the door was opened wide, and Paul entered.

”I ’ve been looking for you. ” Paul declared.
”My people, they have finally arrived! ”
