Only one of them even tried suggest for teamwork but was dismissed as weakling. The exact amount of change to one's own nature when turning to vampire varies. Some cases there is no difference, some cases it brings out the darkest side onto the surface in the person. So I do have reasons for my tests dear Rauza.<br/><br/>Also you get to explore, travel and see new lands while you expand my territory as well. Even if your my thrall I do give you freedom to be yourself as you are now, just that I of course expect you work for me as well while follow your own dreams. At least ones which do not directly conflict with mine."<br/><br/>As Amelie made her question, Adrian looked on her and replied; "As king expands his lands he needs a court to govern it, you will be foundation of that court and thus you will be highest ranked members of the new court. You each one are capable making your own thralls and through bloodline connected to me your thralls cannot turn against me either, basically you can decide make your own vampire clans connected through shared vampire bloodline. Considering undead do not procreate, the process of creating vampires and thralls is only way to increase the court and court's power across vast lands.<br/><br/>However, do remember more thralls and vampires you make, that more you have to reserve and organize the lifestock to feed yourselves and your thralls. So the gains of working as my initial personal elite soldiers should be obvious; long run you get govern and rule your own lands if you so wish, gain wealth, power, but remember in end you pledge loyalty always to your king and are ready to follow my commands anytime. As I mentioned before only way to break free from my servitude is when you challenge my authority once your strong enough to do it and slay me, which is not now anyways. But doing so also frees everyone else from my authority as well.<br/><br/>At that point though most vampire empires usually crumble as most vampires cannot work together without linchpin pinning them down, this case one vampire controlling entire court and having power to forcefully cease hostilities when need be. So even if I hold absolute power to command you, but I leave plenty room for freedom as well. Also in end I do not object if you seek to end me, for whatever reasons. But I will not lay down and be easy for you to kill either."
