Chapter 341: Fighting for You, My Lady【59/60】_3

"That’s not the case."

Phemys explained seriously:

"Being a taboo being, I simply don’t have the courage or the right to inherit all this. Murphy’s choice is the right and fitting one... By that I mean, although there is no specific requirement of power to serve as Bloodline Duke, a Black Iron Rank duke presents a somewhat undignified image.

Strength does not mean power.

But within power, there must be a shadow of strength.

Even from the most rational point of view, I fully support Murphy’s decision."

"This is your father’s heart! Even though he has become a monster, he still gave you life. As a daughter, shouldn’t you regard it as your final keepsake?"

Lady Cui Si was still making her last "struggle".

She pushed the heart of the Duke in front of her, but this time Phemys stepped back, looking at the seemingly still beating heart with a complex look.

She shook her head and said:

"I have decided to forget the past and start a new life that belongs only to me. Therefore, these past memories are just heavy burdens to me."

"Lady Cui Si, you should just accept it."

Murphy and Phemys stood behind Lady Adel, who said softly:

"The Blood Vulture Clan is now just a few of us. Who else is more qualified than you to ascend to that throne?"

"Who says so!"

Cui Si, struggling and pale, retorted:

"There are many individuals on the periphery of the clan still alive, living in small towns on the frontier of Transylvania, some of them are Silver Grade strong, they are just hiding..."

"Hm, I assure you, my lady, they will soon no longer be your problem."

Murphy subtly said.

With a gentle and elegant posture, but full of bloodlust.

Quite clearly stating his attitude once again, the Blood Vulture Duke does not recognize anyone else except Cui Si! Whoever dares to fight for it, must be ready for decapitation and bloodshed.

"Yes, those betraying scum who enjoyed the protection of the clan, yet sat and watched the clan decline to a humble state, simply wanting to protect their own lives, they soon will not be a threat to anyone. I also assure you of this, my lady."

The cold words of Phemys beside him interjected.

Checkmate!

The tragic fate of those on the edge of the clan was decided by this duo’s harmonious interaction.

This cold-blooded tacit understanding made Lady Cui Si’s lips move, unable to find any more reasons to counter. Faced with the two who were determined to push her into power, her fingers that were tightly gripping the scepter gradually loosened as if they were losing their strength.

After a few moments of silence, Lady Cui Si said quietly:

"You two go out first, I want to talk to my offspring, don’t worry, you have convinced me, I will fulfill my duty."

Satisfied, Phemys and Lady Adel left the room, conveniently closing the door.

The treasure chamber quieted down once again.

"Come here, Murphy."

Lady Cui Si called out.

Murphy stepped forward, bowing his head in front of her, seemingly prepared to be berated.

But the expected reproach did not come. Instead, a cold hand raised his downcast face, causing his eyes to meet Cui Si’s bewitching gaze.

The once Scarlet Witch stared at him.

In their mutual gaze, she said:

"I can become the Blood Vulture Duke as you wish, but you must promise me one thing."

"Uh huh, whatever you desire."

Murphy softly spoke.

Then he heard Lady Cui Si say to him:

"You have drunk the Source Blood. At any time, you can discontinue the blood pact between you and me..."

"Yes, I can. But I don’t necessarily need to."

Murphy responded in a relaxed tone:

"I think things are fine the way they are; it brings us closer, makes us trust each other, unites us, and bonds us..."

"Break it!"

Lady Cui Si commanded sternly:

"That is my request."

"Hmm?"

Murphy widened his eyes.

He looked at Lady Cui Si with disbelief, then heard her say:

"I do not wish for the Salockdale tragedy to be replayed between us, Murphy. I also do not want the blood pact to affect your judgement and decisions later on. You perceive all your thoughts as rational, but neglect that the judgement itself is based on the influence of the pact.

You need to be rational again!

You also need to re-evaluate our relationship without any external influences.

Trust me.

This is important for both you and me.

If you want me to be the Blood Vulture Duke, then break the bloodline connection between us."

"But... but... I think..."

Murphy tried to argue.

But a gentle finger blocked his lips, halting all his words.

Lady Cui Si now held the heart of the Duke. Looking at Murphy, she said:

"True leaders are not controlled by others, little Murphy, I have once fallen into darkness and am uncertain if I will fall again due to the lure of power. But at the very least, I need to make sure that whatever happens to me, it will not affect you!

See, I still care for you, still love you.

This will not change even if the pact is broken. You should believe that the year we spent depending on each other is enough to transcend all bloodline connections.

So, be good... okay?

Consider this the first order from your Duke."

Murphy was silent for a few seconds.

He stepped back and looked at the smiling Lady Cui Si, and then nodded, his hand on his chest making a traditional Blood Vulture salute. He softly spoke:

"Then as you wish, my lady."
