Plundering in the Apocalypse

A beautiful mansion surrounded by a lush green forest. The sounds of birds chirping, with few harmless animals inside the forest. The hot summer and stormy morning inside the mansion.

All the ruckus was caused by a little white-haired princess who was being chased by a beautiful woman, seemingly in adoration.

"Stop right there, Aurora."

"No, I won't. I want to play with Daddy~" the little girl complained.

"You Daddy's girl, come back right here~"

"You can't catch me Mom~ Hehe~"

"Oh, ~ let me get my hands on you. You can't escape until you finish all your summer homework."

Threatened to be forced to do her homework, little Aurora increased her speed. With her half-vampire body, her physical aspects were far better than normal humans.

*Whoosh*

"Ah~"

Unfortunately, little Aurora stumbled and was caught by someone.

"Daddy help me~ Mom is going to beat me~"

Finding her father in front of her she immediately complained in a coquettish tone. She had a certain amount of confidence in herself. She was sure that her father would help her escape from her mom. After all, he dotes on her a lot.

"Louis, say something. She is not doing her homework," Claire said.

"What?"

Hearing this the tall handsome man, with a pale white face and sharp canines pointing out his mouth was in a dilemma. On one side there is his cute little daughter. For her, he can do anything, and on the other side is his terrifying wife whom he doesn't dare defy.

Should he help his daughter who is pleading him with those adorable little eyes?

Or

Should he confront his wife's terror?

The choice was very difficult. Seemingly knowing his thought Aurora's mother, Claire snickered and gave him a fierce glare like saying 'don't you dare'. Even with his status and power, he was cowardly in front of his wife's threat.

With a painful expression and a heavy heart. He tactfully decided to stand by his wife's side.

"Aurora you should do as your Mom say," Louis said while avoiding Aurora's pitiful look.

'Sorry, my little princess. You don't want your daddy to be kicked out of his bedroom right?'

Aurora's face went dark. This wasn't what she expected.

Even her father didn't support her. With tears in her eyes, she had to complete the homework under the watchful gaze of her mother.

After the homework was completed. Aurora was praised for her work by both Louis and Claire.

"That's my girl, good job. Let's go and play." Louis said in an excited tone trying to appease her.

Yes, Aurora was a little angry at him because he didn't help her but she forgave him afterward. She can understand that her father was afraid of her mother.

"Okay, Dad let's play~"

But before they could go out a white-haired butler came to them and bowed respectfully.

"Master, Lord Valor has come."

Hearing this name, Louis's brows furrowed. But Aurora on the other hand had no idea what was going on.

Even Claire came and said to Aurora.

"Aur, Dad has some business to attend to. Why don't I play with you?"

With that, she took Aurora to her side and said to Louis in a low voice.

"I'll take her to her room."

Eight years old Aurora had no idea what was going on. She just thought that her father might be busy so they can't play together. Although she was sad she didn't complain this time.

Watching Aurora leave with her mother. Louis's gently smiling face turned cold and emitted an extreme amount of bloodlust.

"Why is he here?" Louis asked his butler.

"He wishes to talk to you," Butler answered his master's question.

"Hmph talk? That guy might as well backstab me." Louis's words were very harsh. He directly expressed his enmity for this Valor person.

"Let's go and see what this snake wants from me."

In an office inside the mansion, Lord Valor was sitting with a hideous smirk on his face. As soon as he heard the door open behind him. His face showed a gentle expression which can easily fool anyone for being a gentleman.

Louis who knew his nature had obviously seen through his fake smile. He snorted and said.

"So what do you want?"

"Aw, don't say that. Can't a bother just come to meet his brother? Do I need a purpose for coming here? Just what kind of person do you think I am?" Valor's way of talking was very gentlemanly. He gave a sad look as if he wanted to be comforted.

Louis just gave him an undisguised disgusted look.

Seeing Louis's expression turn ugly Valor smirked.

"Will you tell me or should I just kick you out?"

"Wow wow wow, hey calm down man. There is no need to be so grumpy." Valor's every remark just added fuel to Louis's anger.

"Well, I'll just say it straight. Will you keep living with that human woman and that filthy(impure) bloodline child of yours?"

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?"

Louis just kicked the table in anger and threw a punch at Valor.

"This is what the family wants to know." As soon as those words fell. The punch stopped midair and slowly retracted.

Seeing that Louis didn't punch him. Valor smirked inwardly 'coward' and continued.

"A Royal blooded Vampire like you. The Eldest son and heir to the Luxembourg family married someone from those inferior species and even gave birth to a child with an impure bloodline, what say do you have in this?"

"I already abstained from my right inside the family. I was even banished from the family. It was decided eight years ago and now what do they want?" Although Louis was very angry he didn't attack Valor thinking of the implications they might suffer. After all, he is no longer a Royal Vampire. He is just someone who was evicted.

"You were only safe because father was the head but now his position might be shaken. So the factors protecting you are in danger. In other words, anything can happen." He continued.

"After all you did the biggest taboo which a royal vampire should never do. Marrying a human and giving birth to a filthy child. A Damphir."
