GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1061 Who To Blame?

Something has to be done about the Ghouls or Danah is going down soon. Her death will bring down all of them with her. But the assistant doesn't have a solution to offer. The ghouls are just too rampant and no Vampire, not even Primogenitors, wants to risk their life to corral the ghouls away. 

Danah looked away from her assistant in disappointment. She shouldn't be disappointed in someone weak since even the strongest Vampires are hiding away instead of banding together to get rid of the Vampires. 

She has no right to shouldn't be disappointed in her assistant about the fact that there is no viable plan to escape the ghouls because the ghouls are spreading faster and farther than they could be contained. The entity she ought to be disappointed in and probably angry at is the Supreme of Carnage who has locked them in the plane and refused to allow anyone to leave. 

But she can't be angry at the Supreme of Carnage. And she is already angry at Ragnarok for another reason so she has to find another target to blame. Her assistant and her dukes are viable targets so she is angry at them. 

She asked them with a tone tinted with anger, "How did this Ghoul even come here? Who brought it into my territory?"

Her assistant looked down in fear as he answered. "I don't know."

Danah became furious. But she knows that it isn't her assistant's fault. So she turned her furious gaze to her dukes and asked. "Who is the fool that brought a ghoul to my doorstep?"

No one could answer. They don't have the answer. And even if they did, they wouldn't answer. All her dukes and even her assistant are buff giants like Danah. Some of them are even bigger than Danah. They have bigger muscles and are much taller. But no one said anything for fear of bearing the fault and therefore becoming the target for punishment. They didn't even look her in the eyes. 

All these muscular Vampires looked down, up, or anywhere else that was not in direct line with Danah's sight. Everything else has suddenly become more interesting. Danah's eyes twitched and her red eyes began to brighten in anger. 

The assistant interrupted the brewing storm. "There's someone here to see you."

"Who?" Danah asked.

"It is the Emperiti Primogenitor." The assistant answered with a weird look.

Danah ignored the weird look and said. "Bring them in."

The assistant coughed awkwardly, "She is outside the territory. She asking for us to open the gates for her."

lightsnοvεl Danah turned her third eye toward the single gate of her territory. She saw several Vampires outside of it on their knees pleading. They are pleading for the gates to be opened so that they can enter. The number of the Vampires is increasing steadily as more come to join them. 

All the Vampires outside the gate are afraid and panicking. It didn't induce any pity in her. She snorted and continued to search. She found her target soon. It is a single Vampire who is calm, unlike the other Vampires. Danah can see the red filament that runs through this Vampire and extends into the distance like strings on a puppet. 

Danah understood immediately why her assistant was behaving weirdly. She nodded to herself. Then she said to her assistant, "Listen and listen carefully to me. You will not open that gate for anyone. Do you hear me? I said no one."

"But she is a Primogenitor." The assistant tried to explain. "We shouldn't anger a Primogenitor."

If it were up to him, he wouldn't open the gate for anyone. But this is a Primogenitor asking for entry. Sure Danah said he shouldn't open the door, but when two Primogenitors fight, it is the poor Vampire caught in the middle that will suffer most.

The two primogenitors are immortal in normal situations. They can fight and make up later. Danah might then offer him up as a scapegoat for refusing Emperiti's entry into the territory. It will be he who will bear the brunt of this disrespect to the Emperiti Primogenitor. 

Danah glared at him. "I will smash your head in if you don't stop talking."

The assistant nodded and kept quiet.

Danah continued, "Use your brain. Emperiti has something she wants to say to me, and she can say it without coming here. But she didn't. Instead, she came to my doorstep. It is clear that she is bringing trouble to me."

Danah had to insist on not meeting Emperiti physically. She explained the reason to both her dukes and to other primogenitors through the link that they have. So Emperiti heard her.

"You are right. I am in trouble. The Ghouls have locked on to my spawns. They are not giving up despite all the sacrifices that I have made. They are after me. I need your help." The Emperiti Primogenitor explained her situation.

Danah remained impassive. "I can't help you."

"Please. I am just a Duke. I am not a monarch yet. The Ghouls will kill me easily if you don't help me."

The Emperiti Primogenitor is linked to all her spawns. This has made it very difficult to kill her in most circumstances. The death of one thrall won't affect her at all. But the Ghouls locked on to her when they locked on to a single one of her lineage. 

The ghouls not only locked onto the thrall, they also locked onto the puppet master controlling the thrall. This means they have locked on to every Vampire in her lineage through that single thrall. They won't rest until she is dead so every one of her thralls must die too. 

She is as vulnerable to Ghouls as normal Vampires because she is not a monarch yet. She hasn't fused with the heart of Carnage. She needs to consume an Origin god to elevate her existence and the person who was supposed to help her has broken the medium for the Oath.
