The Extra Wants Control

"mother...." Neveah called for the second time but no one answered.

" Why isn't she answering?" Thought Neveah

" What is going on? Does she want me to deal with this on my own?" Neveah thought with a frown.

" Come out." Ordered Neveah and soon 800 soldiers came out of his shadow. 800 was Neveah's limit for now as he couldn't add any more soldiers.

When the soldiers came out Neveah ordered them to disperse through selected regions...

Meanwhile Neveah covered himself with darkness magic to hide... His grandmaster-class proficiency in darkness was getting better. So he hoped that it would but him enough time.

" I am confident to take on and kill 8 star beings those of the mid and lower tiers, that's of they don't whip out their laws... I can buy time against an 8 star and escape

Neveah sat down and started concentrating... He was focused on his inner self.

He saw it again within himself was the dark Red area with white orbs of different sizes, he couldn't exactly count how many of them they were... It was like counting stars you start out fine but soon you forget the ones you counted and you can repeat yourself...

He felt something, it was a connection with one of the white orbs... He focused on the connection and he felt it was cool the more he focused on it the cooler it became and it started being cold. The more he focused on it he felt his connection becoming stronger...

Like this he was locked in and in a trance for hours when he woke up he didn't feel anything different but as hr stood up crackling sounds were heard... His whole body was covered in a thin layer of ice... His eyelashes, eyebrows and hair were frosty...

He was confused about what had happened.

Even when he was in that state his darkness magic still hid him and he was feeling like he hadn't used up that much energy. Right now Neveah had nothing but questions in his mind but he knew this wasn't the time. He had to meet someone, and that was Count LeNoir...

From all the information he had, Lenard LeNoir was a silent man, he was mysterious and he was known to be the first Vampire that Verona made into a Count in her order...

Neveah had tried to find out what had happened to the previous court and order but came out empty it's as if what happened in that moment in history was erased and Verona didn't want to talk about it as well.

LeNoir was the most fair Count and Noble Vampire according to the commoners. By fair they mean the man never bothered with anything. He didn't interrupt their daily lives like the others. His territory was the most stable and it was the place Neveah had the hardest time in corrupting... He did succeed but ot wasn't as great as what he did in the other territories.

In LeNoir's territory basically everyone had given him their tokens by the first month. They weren't even asked or ordered to do so they volunteered to give them to him.

LeNoir was loved and respected by the people as well as the nobles. The man was very mysterious so was his Clan. His clan wasn't big it was just him, his wife, his three sond and their wives. That's what the public knew and currently that included Neveah.

Neveah also knew LeNoir is a little crazy. Thean is obsessed with discipline and respect. That's the reason why those arrogant nobles respected him. No that's not right... The correct term was that they were scared of the man.

They feared that man... And what he would do when he snapped. There's even a saying going around that you shouldn't get on that man's bad side. They wanted to give examples about those who did but apparently when Lenoir came after you... He destroys everything, you, your family, the people who knew you and the people who knew them.

This was his first visit with a Count... He also wanted to Meet Mordred and Blanche. And Chatham after the tournament was over.

He had heard that Lenoir was not an ambitious person. He didn't gather power, He didn't try to sabotage his fellow counts. That he didn't even bother making connections or attending any parties to interact with others. He was just that calm. No one knew what the man was thinking.

So that's why Neveah was so curious to meet him. He wanted to know what was going on in that man's mind and family. Neveah was simply curious.

" Switch." Neveah said nad soon his form was replaced by a shadow soldier.

Neveah right no was standing in front of Clan LeNoir's Gate. It was tall and black...

It had no walls around it not even a fence, it simply stood alone.

The gates suddenly opened slowly... It was creaking as it opened.

Neveah just watched until it finally opened. Them two rows of maids bowed their head slowly and said, "welcome!"

Neveah then heard a voice... It wasn't ringing on his mind but at the same time he felt that he was the only one who could hear it.

" Please Come in my prince." It said.

This surprised Neveah... Of course he never thought that his darkness veil was that overpowered to block out everything but for someone to just notice him that fast. Not only was he noticed his identity as the prince was found out.

It's not that Neveah minded it or anything. It's just that he hasn't been out in public with his real face. He was already done hiding his identity as the prince... Well Neveah wouldn't admit that he was hiding it. If someone asked him he would just say that he didn't share the information.

Neveah sighed and his darkness veil was gone and he walked in the middle of the maid rows.

He walked and walked towards the house that was right infront of him but for some reason he felt like he didn't get close.

By the time he noticed that he was in a spell the maids were already gone amd he was just in that endless path that never seemed to end.

Neveah then suddenly stopped and turned around...

Yep! He walked away. He didn't want to deal with some annoying condition or try to meet someone who wanted to test him for no reason.

Neveah had nothing to prove to anyone especially this Count LeNoir who is a stranger to him.

But before he walked away... Neveah made sure to leave a gift. He looked at his arm, then clenched his fist and closed his eyes.

Blue veins formed on his arm as energy flowed to his hand that was slowly glowing getting brighter red.

Then without looking back Neveah pointed it to the house and shot a red-blue ball towards it.

The house then started to freeze as a blue shell formed on it, then was attacked but lightning that made it crack then it was crushed by gravity into a ball.

" Really? Even the house is not real? Sigh... What a pain."

Thought Neveah as he crushed the house into a ball that was ignited and burned. It started forming ashes as it dropped on the ground and the moment the last ash dropped... Neveah found himself standing in an office and a man was with him there, sat opposite from him as he looked at Neveah.

It happened so seamlessly that Neveah hadn't noticed anything.

" Come to think of it... I didn't even notice when I got in the illusion. Not to mention when I got out. The man is good." Thought Neveah as he was very impressed.

" Why are you testing me?" Said Neveah his words and thoughts different. He said it as if he was annoyed and his tone was cold.

" Is it some condition so that you can accept me? Please tell me." Said Neveah 'angrily'.

" Accepting you was not the reason. You just being My Queen's child automatically means I accepted you. I wanted to see... I wanted to see how mature you are."

" My maturity why?" Asked Neveah.

"I thought people in this type of settings usually tested for strength?" He thought.

" Maturity matters a lot. I knew you wouldn't be spoilt cause you are the Queen's child. But I wanted to see how you react when something doesn't go your way. You chose not to throw a tantrum and simply walked away from the test. You deemed it unnecessary."

" Was that bad?" Asked Neveah.

" No ...not quite. You chose the option that was most suited for you. I assume that's also why you wanted and caused some trouble in my territory. I know you have done it some other regions as well. I want to know what type of leader you are. Let's play chess...

Please." Said LeNoir as a board appeared before them.
