Back at the dark palace, 

A chandelier Globe hung at the center of the ceiling radiates light to the entire hall.

A golden throne was situated at the center of the palace hall while a bronze sculpture of a deadly snake was kept by the right side of the throne.

Mergus is sitting on the throne with his left leg hanging over one side of the throne chair leaving his long silver hair sprouted on his shoulder.

The three buttons on his white shirt were left open revealing his broad chest. He fixes his cold gaze at every entity in the hall.

The whole hall was dead silent not a single sound was heard. He suddenly stood up aggressively making the people in the hall flinch.

He climbs down the steps gradually till he stops right in front of his brother who is standing close to the steps. He raises the tip of his lips into an evil smile as he observes his elder brother who didn't flinch at his presence.

The entities in the hall quietly noted every bit of his actions in silence without saying a word.

Mergus erupted a drastic laugh which confused everyone in the hall. They join him to laugh hard without knowing the actual reason.

He raised his right hand silencing everyone as his face returned to a cold expression.

"Luke!" He exclaims the name of his subordinates who in turn replied fast.

"Your lordship, here you go." He countered. He brought in leaving human whose body is shuddering in fear and handed him over to Mergus.  Mergus grabs the human by the throat and bends his head to the side revealing his smooth neck. He curves the edge of his lips into a sinister smile while locking his gaze with his Elder Brother, he sunk his fangs into the human's neck and drank his blood while his almond eyes remained focused on his brother.

He flung the lifeless body of the human to the floor and wipes the tip of his lips with his fingers. "Brother, guess you have heard about the destruction that will befall our kind?" He asked his Elder Brother who remained silent not giving him a response.

"What do you think?" He asked again with a smirk.

He received another silent answer from his brother. An evil smile slowly spreads across his face as he turns to face the people in the hall while raising his fingers and pointing at his Brother.

"You see, this is an attitude of betrayal." He announced, pointing his fingers at him.

A light flashes in his Brother's eyes who glares at him furiously. "Mergus, what madness is this?"

"What do you think it is Brother?" Mergus countered with a corny smile.

He turns toward his subordinate who is waiting for his orders by the side not minding the smoking glare coming from his Elder Brother.

"Luke, get him in." He ordered.

"Yes, your lordship." Look bowed his head to him and glanced at the guard near the stone door and gives him a signal.

In a few minutes, a Man with birdnest hair walks into the hall with unsteady steps. He falls to his knees with his head hitting the ground repeatedly the moment he is brought in front of Mergus. 

Mergus removes his feet and went back to seat down on the throne while his cold eyes remain on the man unblinking.

"Speak!" He yells at the man while he admires his long-finger red nails.

"Your Lordship, the prophecy has not changed at all, Vampire Child born with special powers joined with the forces of the other will bring destruction to your re-reign." The man finished his statement in a cold sweat, his whole body trembling in panic.

No one said a word after his words, the whole hall remained dead silent making the man's heart jumble in fear.

Mergus erupts a drastic laugh hitting the hand of his chair, confusing everyone's presence in the hall.

"Dam Prophecy!!" He sneered coldly.

"The witch Luella confirmed the same thing. But, I believe there's always a way." He said those words like it was easy.

"Luke, take the seer back to his Chambers. He needs to take care of himself, for future progress." He finished his last words in sarcasm.

"Your Lordship, this mere servant is unworthy of your mercy…" The Seer said, with a trembling voice.

"You dare question our beloved lord?!!" Luke shot at him furiously, his forehead creased in anger. He unsheathed his sword.

Mergus clicks his tongue loud enough.

"Apologies, Your Lordship," Luke said as he put back his sword.

"Zolo, it will be a shame to have our hands stained with our seer's blood. Right?" Mergus said while narrowing his almonds eyes at the man.

The Seer trembles more in fear as he hits his forehead on the hard floor till blood starts oozing out of his head.

"I misspoke, Your Lordship, thank you, thank you for your grace." He repeatedly said.

Mergus revealed a devilish smile on his cold face which send shivers to everyone in the hall.

He got up from the throne and stepped down the steps at a slow pace as he erupts a strange laugh while walking into his chambers.

His Elder Brother remains standing with his back straight. He kept glaring daggers at the disappearing back of Mergus and release a dangerous scuff.

Inside a dark chamber, 

Its walls were decorated with Chinese dragon crawls with Led lamps hanging on every part of the wall.

A man putting on a dark robe seat down elegantly on a dragon chair that had its mouth pried open.

He locks his dark gaze on the black orb on top of the table in front of him, his eyes with rage.

"Your Eminence, he has gone too far this time. He had the guts to disgrace you in front of those imbeciles." The subordinate complained, through gritted teeth.

The man did not respond, while he breathed hard. The whole room getting suffocated by his angry aura, his eyes blazing in anger.

"Your Eminence, say something." His subordinate probed, his voice filled with worry.

The man hit his big fist on the table in front of him and glanced up at his worried subordinate for once. 

"Who should I blame for this? If not my worthless Father, for leaving the Throne to that…" he said breathing hard.
