A Bloody Vampire General has a very high status in the Vampire World for several reasons. One reason is that he has a high status in all the armies of the five kingdoms.
However, there is a more important reason than that, and it is a future reason: the status that the person awarded such a rank could achieve.
When someone is awarded this rank, it comes without stars. He is a true Bloody Vampire General and highly respected worldwide, but he still needs to do more for the Vampire World to be awarded a star.
Still, at the time, his status in all the armies of the five kingdoms was as high as that of a Major General; that's a status a step above what Oliver Jones currently is.
All Kingdoms must pay him every three months according to his status in the respective armies. Likewise, they are obligated to provide him with all the benefits that this rank may have.
If you look at it that way, it's an incredible status, but that's where the incredible thing about this rank comes in.
Once the Bloody Vampire General obtains 1 Star, his power increases dramatically in all five realms.
He is no longer considered a Major General but is now a General of the Army. His pay and the benefits he receives reach the army's limit in each kingdom; he would only be below the Commanders-in-Chief, such as Reagan Cooper and the Kings.
That is why the King's action did not make much sense. How could he give so much status to a young man?
He had already given him such an exalted position. How could he give him an even more important one?
But Matt could understand why he does it.
'It's to motivate me and make me want to complete the mission, whatever it takes.' He thought.
Still, the truth was that the King wasn't finished yet.
As soon as he saw Matt grab the clothes next to the star, he smiled.
And again, he pulled out another star, precisely the same and of the same material.
"Matthew Dietrich, I heard that the hidden reward for winning that battle of the halls hasn't been delivered to you, has it? I will deliver it to you right now. You have two choices, Matthew Dietrich." The King smiled slightly as he stared at Matt.
Matt was stunned to see this guy grab out another star and mention that.
Everyone present was in shock, even Ericson Lewis.
"Brother?!" he shouted, unable to take this.
"Please, King Dawid, grant status for my bloody couple. I don't need the other star. My own efforts in the future will give me a Second and later a Third Star." He replied in a firm voice.
This made the King's eyes sparkle slightly.
At the same time, Isla was startled.
"Matt!!? Don't do it, Matt. That status is more important than anything!" She replied, grabbing him firmly and looking at him.
But Matt shook his head at her.
"Okay, if it's good, I'll get it later. Don't you trust me?" He asked, leaving her stunned.
If he said that... She couldn't answer.
Still, the King pressed.
"Are you sure about that? We're talking about an exalted status as a Bloody Vampire General with 2 Stars. If you ask me at that time, maybe I can grant your partner the same status you're trying to trade this Second Star for. Wouldn't that be foolish?"
Matt shook his head at him.
"There's no use in effortlessly earned status. That won't temper my character and could make me arrogant, so please, I just want status for Isla. She deserves it." He replied.
The King stared at him momentarily and then looked at Reagan Cooper and his brother, who were in shock.
Then he smiled and soon began to laugh out loud.
"Hahahahaha, I knew it, hahahaha."
His sudden laughter stunned everyone.
His brother even wondered if that guy had finally gone crazy, but suddenly, the King stopped laughing and nodded firmly at Matt.
"Good, you passed the test. As of today, you are a Bloody Vampire General with 1 Star, and your partner is a Brigadier General in our kingdom, so I hope to see more of you in the future." He replied. Once he said that he asked Matt to put his blood on the scroll that was still floating in the air, and then it cast a bright glow until it rolled up once more to end up in Matt's hands.
This scroll was the King's bloody oath to grant him Rank; it came along with a token and a few other things.
Still, the King didn't think much more after that and sent them to their respective rooms, while asking Matt to follow him to explain about the City of Clans and his new status.
