An amused expression appeared on Dro's face. "How quickly everything changes. At one point, looking at someone, you think that he is a nobody who you don't have to put into your eyes. You don't put any thought into your interactions with the person and offend him, is it by accident or by your own choice but later you find out that the person you offended wasn't a nobody but someone who can influence your life with only a single word… you may feel regret but at that time it is already too late as your life is already over," he thought and a memory from his past flashed through his head.
Just after Dro graduated from the university and got his degree, he applied for a job and then he was invited to a job interview. On the interview day, he left his home early as he didn't want to be late.
He needed to commute so he quickly made his way to the train station and squeezed into a packed train.
At the following stop, some people got out while others came in. One of which was a middle-aged man, the man chosen to stand in front of Dro mainly because there were no more places for him to stand in. The train once again moved and on the next stop even more people came in but none came out. The people from outside pushed in and a chain reaction of pushing was created. The last person on this reaction was Dro and he pushed out the middle-aged man that stood in front of him.
The man tumbled out of the train head first but before he could hit the asphalt, he managed to recover. He turned around and saw Dro's emotionless face. He glared at him and shouted out, "You?!" With his words, the doors to the train closed and the train moved onward. Before the doors closed, Dro saw that the man was angry at him, but he showed no reaction as the middle-aged man was just a random passerby, who he had never interacted with and who was trivial to him.
Once Dro arrived at the interview building, he saw that he came a little early, so he went and get some food as he felt a little hungry and it was already lunchtime. After eating lunch, he walked back to the company building and went inside. He got into the elevator and pressed the button for the eighth floor. At this moment a middle-aged man burst into the building and he ran towards the elevator. "Stop it! he shouted.
Dro's face changed to that of surprise as he recognised this middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was the same man that tumbled down out of the train earlier. At this time, Dro was lost in his surprise and he didn't press the stop button. Just before the elevator doors closed, the man managed to see Dro's surprised face and as he did, his expression fell and anger once again reappeared on his face.
The lift arrived on the eighth floor and Dro snapped out of his surprise. He walked out of the lift and he submerged into his thoughts. He wondered as what was that middle-aged man doing in the strongest IT company's building. After a moment of thinking, he decided to give up thinking on this as the man was of no relevance to him. He had an interview coming and he didn't want to cloud his head with unnecessary thoughts. He walked to the office, knocked on the door and attempted to enter but soon found out that the door was closed. "Am I too early?" he thought and then he sat down on one of the chairs that stood beside the building.
Five minutes passed and Dro heard footsteps, he turned his head and he saw the same middle-aged man for the third time. At this time Dro's face paled as sudden understanding hit him, the man that he continued meeting on this day was his interviewer. The man came up to Dro and said, "Get out you rude brat! We don't need people like you in this company." The man unlocked the door and slammed it behind him.
Dro lowered his head and he walked back home disappointed.
…
Looking over the five counts, he thought that it was amusing that the counts had similar expressions as he had on that day. A smirk appeared on his face as he decided to get some revenge. His interviewer didn't show him understanding so why should he do it?
He approached the five kneeling counts; only stopping when he was two arms length away from them. He looked them over; starting from the leftmost Count Nelo and stopping at the rightmost Count Ravette. His eyes didn't stay on one Count for longer than a single breath of time. Even Ravette who he once thought was beautiful.
"You five were rude to me earlier, weren't you?"
Not one of them spoke up.
"And one of you was ruder than the rest."
The five counts shuddered and once again not one of them dared to speak up. They all stared down the ground and they braced themselves for their punishments, they all begged in their minds not to receive the harshest punishment one could receive as a Vampire. The punishment called true death. The punishment that would not only end one's life but also the lives of the entire bloodline.
"Count Tharon you made me kowtow to you, what do you think I should do?"
Count Tharon felt his throat dry up and he shut closed his mouth. In his mind, he shouted, "Please not true death anything but that! Anything!"
"You will kowtow to me 50 times," Dro said after thinking for a moment, he thought, that it was good enough.
Count Tharon's eyes opened and he mumbled, "That's all?" He realised that he mumbled and he spoke out quickly but clearly, "I am sorry for mumbling in front of you, your Excellency!" After his words, he started kowtowing without waiting for anything. In his heart, he was greatly relieved.
When the others Counts heard the punishment, they all breathed sighs of reliefs. If this was the harshest punishment, they no longer were worried.
Dro nodded in satisfaction and then he looked at the other counts, "You all kowtow to me five times each."
All counts heaved another sigh of relief and they started kowtowing to Dro. Once they were finished Dro looked them over once more, "Stand up, we need to talk." Not one of them dared to disobey, they all stood up.
"What is the threat that this village is facing?"
