Chapter 328 Lovers Of Peace



"Now what's this another commotion, hmm? Raven?" Alexander said as soon as he landed behind Raven with Gav next to him. 

Raven looked so relieved at the sight of Alex that he immediately began reporting. 

Alex on the other hand, just quietly sauntered towards his wife Abi, and kissed her cheek before standing next to her with his hand naturally resting on her back. 

Once Raven was done, Alex sighed. "That little bastard's timing is truly something, isn't it?" He commented in a calm but a little frustrated tone. "And the prophetess? Do you even know where she is?"

"She's been with everyone before we left the palace." came Raven's response.

"I see… Elijah didn't start an unnecessary bloodshed in the palace, did he?"

"I believe so. He didn't seem to have any plans in killing anyone. But that was maybe due to the reason that everyone easily turned their backs from His Highness Sebastian for him." 

"That's great then."

Alex's nonchalance only made Raven blink. Though it was somehow reassuring that no one was panicking or reacting urgently so far, this was absolutely something unexpected. 

It was as if everyone was already expecting this would happen or were they just not at all bothered by it? But this was a serious problem. Was it not…? Though they could win over the humans, the fact that a war would even break out between the humans and them vampires, who are not supposed to be known to the humans was a huge problem in itself.

Raven was having a hard time figuring out what was going on now or what he should say next for a while. 

"Err… does this mean you're not going back to the palace right now?" Raven asked hesitantly. 

"Not right now, Raven. There is no guarantee of what Elijah would do if I suddenly show up there without a plan. I'm certain the little bastard had planned all these ahead of time anyway. There's no way he'd just stand there and watch while I go there to knock some senses in everyone's head. So there is no point in me running over right now and even falling into his trap that he might have laid. However, I need you to go and pay attention to the humans' activities instead."

Raven could only nod and after a few more instructions from Alexander, the man and the other two vampires with him finally left. 

"This world of yours really is one of a kind it seems." Gav commented, cocking his head slightly. "How come it's the humans you are most worried about?" It could be seen that Gav was confused at why the vampires, who are the superior race between the two, were so careful in their dealing with the humans who were the weaker of the species.

"This is a world dominated by humans. There's just too many of them, so it's going to be much harder to deal with them than the vampires who are really small in numbers." Alex explained. 

"But humans are powerless. Their numbers should not be a problem at all to you vampires." 

Alex smirked. "Seems that you underestimate the human race a little too much, young man. Well, perhaps the humans in your world might be a little different. But the humans in our world are innovative creatures and many of them are heartless monsters too. They don't actually need magic to annihilate an entire country and even turn the entire world into chaos."

Gav looked like he was having a hard time believing Alexander's words.

"I'm not even exaggerating." Alex added. "They are even capable of going to war and destroying each other's kingdoms. So attacking and destroying another race is nothing to them."

"Are you saying that you guys are afraid of what the humans could do and that's why you are worrying about them this much?" Gav asked again, still obviously not grasping how the hell would the humans in this world have made these powerful vampires seemingly under their control. In his mind, it was as easy as annihilating them all if they were such troublesome creatures.

"Whoever said that we're afraid?" Alex raised a brow.

"What else could the reason be, if not fear of something?"

"Well, maybe it's indeed fear. Though it's never a fear of humans per se." Alex smiled as his gaze fell to Azy who was listening so attentively. "Maybe it's a fear of creating a world of chaos where our children no longer can live the peaceful lives in the future that they fully deserve. Maybe it's just us not wanting our next generation reaping the consequences of the actions caused by their parents' generation." 

"Then why not take over this world? That's a more certain way for you vampires to create the future you wanted, isn't it? Don't tell me you don't have the power to do that because even without Zeke, you alone should be able to accomplish it if you really want to." 

Alex could not help the ironic smile that crossed his face. "You think no one had attempted to do that before? Well, that has been done long ago, Gav. The result so far had been way more disappointing than expected. You'll only turn this world into a new kind of hell." Alex shrugged as he continued. "I'm not entirely certain if this applies to all worlds that exist out there. But I know at least that in this world, war and games of power were never the solution to a problem. And we vampires here, of course, except for some, are generally lovers of peace. We would do all we can to advocate peace and avoid war."

As Alex ended his statement with a proud grin, Gav looked like he no longer had the interest to continue on with the topic. His face showed a look that stated the vampires here were a lost cause.

"No wonder you were itching for a fight while back in the cavern." Gav mumbled as his attention was pulled towards the window of Alicia's room.
