Chereads / The Throne Is Where I Am! / Chapter 28 - I wasn't asking

Chapter 28 - I wasn't asking

Following Ram she leads me to the guest room, not even asking about what the vampires did because I'm so tired of their shit I don't care. I would just kill them and be done with it but I would like to meet them first, who knows they may be from a world I know or don't know and can get something out of it. With it technically, magic, medicine, or information it doesn't matter. I would be a fool to not at least see if I can get anything out of them before killing them for all the trouble they put me through this week. Going inside I see four vampires, three men and one little girl, right away I realized I know them. They are the vampire lords from dance in the vampire bund as well as the queen herself Mina Țepeş, the three are acting like they own the place as for Mina she seemed nervous.

As soon as they see me two of the vampire lords put on a high and mighty attitude as for the other he is shocked. Which surprised me but I didn't let it show, I also got a naggin feeling as soon as I saw him. As for Mina, she stood up when I entered.

"Finally someone comes after making us wait so long, you know it's rude to keep guests waiting," said the one wearing a white tuxedo.

"Do you know how you made wait for you human" said the one wearing a priest looking black robe with a cross and fur around his shoulders. The third one was trying to hide his face with an iron fan for some reason trying not to gain my attention though it was hard to miss the golden chinese robe he was wearing. Each of them had one servant behind them looking at me with hate, the only one that didn't was Minas but all of them looking at Shion in the corner of the room every now and again.

I face Mina and say "you can set as for you three stand up."

The priest looking one slammed his fist to the chair and yelled "You dare talk to us that way!!"

"Now, now Ivanovic, no need to get so worked up. This human must not know who he is dealing with" said tux.

"Rozenmann it doesn't matter he dares ask us to stand for him" said Ivanovic.

"I wasn't asking" I say as I control them to stand with my strings.

"What have you done to us?" Asked Rozenmann, now starting to look nervous.

"Let us go!!!" yelled Ivanovic.

But I ignored him as I looked at the third vampire that has yet to talk and I realized why I was gettin a nagging feeling from him.

I stand up and walk towards him and say "Li my old friend you came all the way to hell just to see me you shouldn't have, how about I kill you this time so you won't run away."

It seems that Qin Shi Huang actually fought and tried to kill Li the vampire lord of China when he became emperor. So he can make sure no more jiangshi would ever threaten his people. Unfortunately he ran away and hid with his people before he could kill all of them.

"Wait, I can give you eternal life, that's what you wanted right?'' He said trying to save himself.

"Didn't you learn last time you offered me that deal? I don't want eternal life just to hurt my people, I want it to make sure they're safe and my empire doesn't collapse." I say as I walk to him getting something I found among the hydra belongings. It was one of the most badass weapons I have ever had the pleasure of owning, the crucible.

"Please don't kill me." Said Li.

"Now then what did I say the last time we met oh yes, I will hunt you down all the way to the nine hell's to make sure you die by my hand." Saying that I cut him in half, turning him into dust, Shion did the same to his servant.

"Ram can you pick that up and throw it in the trash can, I don't want filth in my castle as for you two, whatever should I do with you" I say while looking at the two remaining vampire lords. They started to struggle for dear life so they won't be next. Walking up to Ivanovic and giving him a good look, he fit the bill of a villain no matter how you look at him.

"Now then how are you again and why should I let you live" I said to him.

"I, I, I am Ivanovic a vampire lord and I can help you with whatever you want just don't kill me" he said.

I looked at Mina which startled her but she calmed down quickly asking her about him, "so how is this and what did he do when he was alive?"

"He was someone called Rasputin at one point controlling the Romanov dynasty until he sold them out after he found out a revolution was coming. He faked his death and came back to secretly control the new government again" she said.

"Rasputin, there were some books I read up one him in the castle. If I remember right he was a man of the cross right?" I asked while I grabbed his silver cross and ripped it off. Using my strings I lift him in the air in a crucifix pose.

"I will not die like a dog!!!" He shouted. He started to transform into his true form that looked like the demon Baphomet but even then he was still in the same position unable to free himself.

"I don't know much about Christianity since it started before my time and I just learned of it but I think this counts you as a heretic. And heretics are supposed to be put to death" I say while lifting my blade and making him hover slightly above the floor while he faced towards the sealing.

~AaAaaAAhhH

He screamed but I was not having any of that so I used my string to sow his mouth shut.

"No how was it, O lord forgive this lost lamb or something like that? I don't know I'm not a priest, anyway I sentence you to death" I say while I cut off his head and turn him to dust.

"Ram, you might as well wait till I'm done so you can clean it all at once. No then on to you Rozenmann was it like you said I have no idea who any of you are except Li and I wanted him dead so why should you live" I asked.

"I-"

"On second thought don't answer that" I say while cutting his head off and turning him to dust.

"Shion, can you take care of the servant's and round up their subordinates? I want to take care of those more likely to cause trouble."

"Yes master" she says as she kills the two servants and leaves to follow my instructions while Ram starts cleaning up the dust. Turning off the crucible and sitting down in front of a very nervous Mina and servant.

"Now then my name is Qin Shi Huang, what can I do for you?" I asked her.

"Ah yes my name is Mina Țepeş, queen of the vampires and I came to talk about the problem that the vampires were making. But it looks like you solved a huge root of the problem by killing those three. And if you don'tmind me asking are you chinas first emperor?" She asked as she looked at Ram cleaning up the dust.

"Looks like I have but they weren't all the problems are they? And how do you know that?" I asked.

"As for how i know it's because Li was only afraid of one human in his life and that was you. And no they were not but I will make my subjects follow my orders and stop their foolishness, I would also like to apologize about them bothering your wife and daughters" she said while bowing to me.

"Don't worry they're all dead because my wife and daughters found them annoying so they killed them. In fact my daughters were upset that they turned to dust because they could not show me the prey they killed. While my wife just tortured them until they turned to dust, they are far from damsel in distress but they got of luck I didn't get my hands on them" I say while letting out a chuckle.

"Right anyway, is it possible you would let me handle the rest of the vampires? I promise they will no longer cause you problems."

I give her a skeptical look and ask "will they follow your orders, do they even see you as their queen?"

"Of course they see her as the queen!" Said her servant.

"Calm down Veratos, of course will follow my orders, I'm their queen after all" answered Mina.

"I don't believe that for multiple reasons, the first being that you stood up when I entered the room. The three I just killed understood that a ruler must not make himself look less in front of another rule. Although they were rude it was only because they thought they had more power over me, why they thought that I would never understand if even my subordinate was able to round them up. Secondly and more importantly you bowed towards me, a ruler must never bow towards anyone" I say to her.

"Please let me take care of them" she said, sounding a little more worried.

"There you go again asking for permission, a ruler must either takes or negotiates for what they want. But I'll give you a break and allow you to manage your own group. But of the three other groups I will weed out the troublemakers, l don't want to leave any future dangers for my people. That is non negotiable, do you understand" I say.

"Yes I understand" she says while looking depressed.

"Glad we understand each other now, if you excuse me I need to start taking care of the troublemakers."

"Yes thank you for listening to me and helping me." She says.

"Helping you?"

"Yes those three you just killed were a real thorn in my side for so long."

"Don't worry about I was going to kill them anyways." Finished speaking to her I leave the room dreading all the work that taking care of the three groups is going to bring me.
