- Stop it! I've had enough arguments on the square now, - Konstantin sharply interrupted the two advisers, - If you make another one here, I won't be able to take care of myself. Eugene, you called the meeting, you start.
- Yes. Thank you. Actually, the meeting is just for the sake of what Olga said. Darling, - the second triumvir circled the attendees with his hand, - Please, share the information.
- Bloodsuckers, - his wife grumbled angrily and stood up and walked around everyone, giving them a chance to drink some of her blood.
The discussion of Archmage Godius' fate was one of the fastest collegial decisions the vampires had ever made. As soon as Konstantin stammered about sharing with him a part of the artifacts captured in the battle, Gennady, who had stood up against such a move, simply became furious. In return, the economic vampire suggested buying the archmage's loyalty not with the things available in the warehouses, which they might need themselves, but with the promise of receiving them in the future.
The idea found full support, and the promise of something in the future suited everyone. All the more so because Godius was not spoiled with numerous artifacts and lunar silver even in his time as archmage in Orod. As the weakest of Orod's archmages, he received them on a leftover basis. Things were going to be different for him in Elur, especially if he had help.
- You could also scare him! He fled the battlefield. If word of this got out, his reputation would be ruined.
After this statement, no one doubted that when he woke up, Archmage Godius would be more than loyal to the mages who had imprisoned him for a year.
- Then from our sleeping handsome man, maximize the blood and store it for the future. As a strategic reserve! Semyon, the main thing is not to overdo it with the amount of blood you will drain from him! - Konstantin stood up, - I think this meeting is over. I apologize for being so quick!
That last statement caused the vampires to chuckle. In Alexander's absence, the Triumvirate preferred to solve internal issues with their own power, and general meetings were held only for the leaders' reports to the Triumvirs. Eugene and Konstantin were the last to leave the room and went to their offices.
The central ensemble of the fortress buildings, unlike the outer walls, was fully completed and movement within it was no longer a problem. In general, all the finished rooms of the fortress were interconnected and even the outer towers had underground passages to them.
All that remained was to ennoble the interior and the building would become a truly comfortable dwelling for all vampires. The erection of a number of architectural complexes inside the fortress walls, both economic and residential, was to give the fortification a completely finished look and fully realize Olga's construction plan.
- And now we have to sink the castle.
