The vampire stared at me for a while longer, before snorting, as if losing interest.
"You are indeed different from other humans," he said, returning to his throne. "Others would have pissed their pants by now, in my presence."
"What can I say? I've seen worse," I replied. Nothing could ever be scarier than losing your family directly in front of your eyes.
"I admire your courage, and I respect those with courage. Therefore, I won't pry for information about the strength you wield. I already know you have a special power - I just do not know exactly what it is."
Yeah...looks like denying it any further is not going to do any good here.
"Was that all you wanted to say?"
"Yes. I wanted to ascertain your mental strength and willpower. Even if you hold an insurmountable amount of external strength, that power will be rendered useless if you are easily manipulated by someone else."
"...I know," I replied. "So? Can I go now?"
