Chapter 1023 The next King
?( Kremeth’s POV )
After confronting Jake and Kartikeya rather awkwardly regarding succession, Max decided to change his approach while talking to Kremeth.
He tactfully refrained from broaching the topic directly in his discussion with Kremeth, rather opting for a more subtle approach.
“So who is the woman you like?” Max asked, as he believed it to be best to steer the conversation from Kremeth’s needs towards his own.
Unexpectedly, as Max brought this topic up, Kremeth instantly began to blush with his face turning red as he avoided eye contact with his father and started to look at the floor below.
” Oh that ….. hmmmm” Kremeth said as Max could not contain his laughter, finding the behaviour of his eldest child to be most endearing.
It was clear from his reaction that he was a greenhorn in love and was absolutely whooped by his first crush.
” She’s a lovely girl father, I’m sure you would like her. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝘮
A warrior just like mother, she’s strong.
If you bless us I’d very much like to marry her” Kremeth said as he awkwardly scratched his head with the biggest smile on his face.
” Oh? Strong you say….. but just how strong?” Max asked as while he had never considered the strength of bloodlines when choosing his own wives, he was slightly picky about it when choosing for his kids.
” She’s a primordial vampire father, the daughter of the current chief.
Marrying her may cause a political scandal…. I’m not sure what to do?
Mother says it’s okay-
But in the end it’s you whose the king so…. If you think it’s too much trouble, I won’t marry her” Kremeth said as he appropriately expressed the problems surrounding their marriage.
Although politically there was no bias against primordial vampires, socially they were still not very accepted within vampire society.
If a Rajput and a prince were to marry one, it would undoubtedly stir a storm within vampire society and Kremeth was well aware of it.
In Asiva’s point of view, it did not matter if Kremeth’s love stirred a storm, as the heart wanted what it wanted, however, Kremeth knew better than to just blindly follow his heart.
Just like his father he had learnt from a young age to put his family first and hence he was ready to accept whatever decision it was that Max gave him today.
Max thought about it for a while and just like Asiva he too did not care much about internal politics of vampire society as the current Rajput family was strong enough to withstand any pressure.
However, he could not ignore the implications of Kremeth marrying a primordial vampire either as it could make the bias against them even worse if not handled properly as it could be seen as the primordial vampires seducing their way to power.
Even if their love was pure, even if the girl was genuinely pure hearted, society would always perceive Kremeth to be the prize in their relationship and her to be the seducer and it could make the perception of her clan as a whole worse in the public eye.
” Agh, the hell with it. If you like her, marry her….. whatever happens happens” Max said as he slapped Kremeth on the back and gave his marriage request a seal of approval much to Kremeth’s joy. 𝘪𝘳.𝘤𝑜
The Rajput family had not gathered this much power over decades just to give in to societal pressure and Max only saw opportunity even in this crisis.
” Thank You so much, father….. your approval means everything for me” Kremeth said emotionally as he gave Max a hug which Max reciprocated lovingly.
” Ofcourse….. she’s a lucky woman, she would be marrying the next vampire king after all” Max said as Kremeth pulled away from him with his eyebrows raised.
” Next king?” He asked surprised as Max nodded and said ” We will hold your coronation before your marriage.
I’m leaving the universe soon, and it’s time for you to step up in my place”.
” So soon? But I’m only tier6″ Kremeth said in shock as he was taken aback by the sudden proposal but Max did not let him think about it too much.
” So what if you’re tier6. Who dares challenge the authority of a Rajput?
Just grow stronger while performing your duty as a king” Max said as he sealed the debate with that argument and began talking about his upcoming coronation and wedding.
Although Kremeth was a bit reserved at first, eventually he sighed and accepted his new role with grace as he surrendered to the idea of becoming the next king.
” I wonder what master Jhonny would think of this?” He wondered, however, just thinking about that master of his made his balls tingle and hurt as Kremeth shut that thought as fast as it came.
Max on the other hand could not help but slap his face thinking about how little it meant to these kids compared to what these posts meant to him.
He had dedicated his entire life to becoming the vampire king, it was almost his only goal.
If at tier6 Regus would have been kind enough to yield him the throne he would have been over the moon, but Kremeth on the other hand was surprised and slightly hesitant.
” Brother are you watching? The times have changed indeed….” Max said with a sad smile on his face as he looked towards the heavens where the celestial realm was supposed to be.
In the end, having spent a lifetime with amazing friends, beautiful wives and talented kids, Max realised that it was only his brother who truly understood him and his motivations and it was only them two reincarnators who had nothing in their first lives who felt insatiable even after achieving everything.
” Ha….. there are a billion vampires who would kill for this opportunity.
Shame…. A true shame” Max murmured in dismay, however, despite his pessimistic outburst, internally he felt proud and happy for having passed down the throne to his bloodline and his firstborn.
