Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

The sound of heels echoed in the huge, beautifully decorated hallway of this beautiful castle.

A woman of average height in light clothing walked elegantly down it. Still, she looked slightly reflective, and though each step she took was steady, anyone who knew her well could tell that they were steps with hesitation. Also, one of her arms was missing; she seemed to have lost them in a battle.

Caroline Felliam was a woman of great status at present. Of the members of the Imperial Castle of the Human Empire, she was one of the highest-status currently. Not only because she was young and held a good position thanks to her power but also because she was one of the most trusted women of the Imperial Princess.

The Imperial Princess treated her as a close sister and trusted her completely, but this time she felt that she had betrayed her trust and it gnawed at her mind and made her doubt with every step she took, even though it didn't seem so.

Caroline was born the daughter of a rich woman, but to a poor man, it was a betrayal. Her mother was married to a nobleman and was a businesswoman in the Empire, yet she had fallen madly in love with a poor man.

He was a commoner in the human race. Although he was strong and muscular, the only good thing the noble people saw in him was that he had a face worthy of praise. And it was that face that made that married woman fall in love with him and led them to have numerous affairs.

After a mistake, she became pregnant and had to give birth to a baby; later, she was exiled by the nobleman, who made her life impossible to destroy her, and she died. Caroline's father was left alone fighting against the nobleman, and in an act of bravery and gallantry, he killed the nobleman, although he also fell dead.

That resulted in Caroline Fellim being orphaned when she was just three years old. She was destined to starve to death until a beautiful young lady rescued her and gave her a home. freewebnøvel.com

At the time, Vanessa Cromwell was a little girl under intense training to find out her true power, but it was thanks to Vanessa that Caroline did not die on that dark street in the heavy downpour.

The rest can be considered history, as Caroline fulfilled her Lady expectations as much as possible, becoming one of her generation's most respected Grand Sorceresses and receiving extraordinary abilities when she reached 20,000 power.

And it is because of all this that she is doubting in her heart right now. This time, she did not live up to her Mistress' expectations.

She totally let her down, and this time, she was coming to give her a preview of everything they had discovered from a mission she had sent her on one month ago.

It had taken so long that her heart was skipping softly with every step she took until she was in front of a door to a room.

Then she prepared to knock nervously, but a voice came to her before she could do so.

"If it's you, I don't think you need to knock." The voice came from inside the room and belonged to her mistress, The Imperial Princess, Vanessa Cromwell.

Caroline smiled sheepishly and walked in after hearing this.

Vanessa looked out the window at the heavy downpour that was falling tonight. With the fall of winter, she often enjoyed these beautiful landscapes.

This beautiful downpour cleanses the world of the dirt that living things leave in it. She, being someone who is constantly seeing the dirt in the world, has a basis for saying so. So, she always liked to see the rain.

Normally, she wouldn't turn to look at anyone who came because they weren't worthy of her attention, but this time was different. She turned and smiled at Caroline.

"Caroline, I picked you up on a day like today, almost three decades ago. The rain was pouring down on your body, and it was the first and only time I felt compassion for someone. If I picked you up that time and chose you as my right hand, it is because I consider you a friend, so don't hesitate so much and speak frankly as you always have," Vanessa said as she told her to sit beside her.

Vanessa doesn't usually act like this in front of anyone, but it is common to see her lively and showing her feelings in front of Caroline.

When Caroline heard this, a huge weight lifted from her heart. She stepped forward to sit next to her with a grateful smile.

"I'm sorry, Miss. I failed the mission in the frontier... And it's taken me 1 month to give you answers to something you need so badly... I'm sorry." Caroline was sincere from the start, without giving too much thought to the situation.

Vanessa nodded and grabbed Caroline's missing arm. "You've suffered a bit; who did this to you? With your speed and Expansive Domain, there's no way someone weak could hurt you like this."

After remembering it, Caroline looked at her arm, and hatred rose in her heart.

"That man who was marked as a target by that organization, his name is Matthew Dietrich. The Grand Sorcerers seem to think a lot of him, and he has a saint weapon. I tried to assassinate him to bring it to you, but he hit me with it, and when it touched my bone, it totally destroyed it." She replied.

Vanessa frowned after hearing this and looked up to the sky once more.

'Matthew Dietrich... Another ancestral surname. And on top of that, he has a saint weapon; sounds like he's a dangerous person.' Vanessa thought.

"How about his vampiric power? I'm not aware of why he's the target of that organization, but he must be strong, right?"

Caroline sighed, not knowing how to answer this.

"Honestly, if we're talking about vampiric power, he wasn't that strong at first. But from one moment to the next, his body was surrounded by blood, and his power suddenly increased. It seemed to be an increase of more than 40% of his real power. And although he was still far from my power, he was able to stand up to me, coming close to killing me."

Vanessa looked at her sharply. "What do you mean? Does he have a transformation? How much power are we talking about?" she asked quickly, and Caroline nodded slightly.

"That should be a transformation. His power had increased to an average to 17,000 or 18,000; his initial power was 10,000." Caroline then explained the appearance and everything else about that strange transformation she had seen.

After hearing everything, Vanessa's countenance darkened slightly.
