Matt frowned as soon as he saw what she was trying to hand him. 'Territories?' Matt thought and read some more.
His eyes got slightly bigger as he finished reading them all and looked at Emma Lewis and the King.
"Do you guys really want to hand these over to me? Even if I have territories, I don't plan to advocate for the kingdom irreversibly." Matt replied, making Dawid smile.
"Don't ask me. Those territories belonged to the White Family and other traitorous families that Emma found. Because Emma dismantled everything, they were granted to her. I do not have the ability to grant territories to a Bloody Vampire General because it is forbidden. So it's all Emma's decision," Dawid replied, smiling helplessly.
If it were his decision, he would not hand over territories to a Bloody Vampire General because that would be increasing too much the power of a person who is already powerful all over the world. Although, in part, the Bloody Vampire Generals have territories in the various kingdoms, they are not personal territories because otherwise, they could get out of control.
The governments are very concerned about independent groups like the Heirs and the Bloody Vampire Generals. And since they can't do anything against the Heirs, they decide to hold back the Bloody Vampire Generals.
Even so, there are 3 of them that they can't hold back in the vast majority of generations, so they worry about holding back the rest that don't belong to that Top 3. And the way they have is not to give them so much freedom in their respective kingdoms and, in turn, prevent them from obtaining territories to avoid an exponential development of independent forces in a short time.
But this time, Dawid could do nothing.
He had mentioned it to Emma, but she had already made up her mind. There was no going back on this case.
That's why Emma smiled towards Matt.
"My father can't hand over a territory to you, but that doesn't mean I can't. I decided to serve for a while as another noble of this kingdom because I wanted to leave a legacy of yours in that territory, so now that you're back, that territory belongs to you. Honestly, I'm not worthy to have it, so I hope you get it." Her words reflected several things deeper than was apparent.
You could see a deep respect in her voice for Matthew. At this point, perhaps she respected Matthew more than her own father, which was amazing.
But the fact that they wanted to give him such a large territory, made Matt question his own worth within this woman's eyes.
That was a tremendous value that he didn't expect to have.
And the territory was not exactly small.
'It's immense and contemplates the territories of several high-ranking nobles. Plus, it has a very large amount of resources.' He thought.
He honestly didn't know what to say about it and didn't expect Emma Lewis to give him a gift as good as that. If she kept it, Matthew possibly wouldn't even know about it since, after all, it was Emma who dismissed all those families.
And if she had it, she could reach incredible heights in a few years, but she decided to give it to Matt.
Matt gave him a slight nod. "If that is so, then I must thank you, Professor Reagan. I will be sure to live up to your expectations, but I will maintain my stance that I will not watch over the Kingdom unless humans want to attack it, so I hope you will understand and not bother me."
Anyone else would see this response as a rather annoying and reprehensible statement, which should cause the King to rebuke him fiercely, but none of those on the other side found it such a thing since they understood Matt's value.
'It's a value that will not be able to diminish, only increase. That ability to surpass tens of thousands of power in just two years is something that not even Gray Allen in his prime, or the best current Heirs, could do. If he could maintain that growth the rest of the time or at least keep growing steadily by surpassing 100,000 power...
He could become an absolute powerhouse in this world before long.' Dawid thought.
Although he didn't know Matt's total Power, he was sure that he had surpassed, at the very least, 30,000 power in the last two years. That was enough to put him in the upper echelons, even among the Heirs with Destiny.
"Don't worry, kid. We don't plan to force you to violate your own rules. But I hope fame and power don't go to your head. Remember that although you are powerful, the Vampire Clans cannot be offended. Master Gray made multiple mistakes when he was young and got into a lot of trouble, which is why he now has many enemies; I hope you won't do the same." Dawid said.
Matthew nodded to him. "I will take your advice into consideration, King Dawid." He replied and then stood up.
"If you will allow me, I will take my leave here. Now that I have this, I need to rearrange my plans. I'll come back and visit another time," Matt said.
Dawid then stood up. "Haha, let us walk you out. We can go talk in the meantime, especially regarding recent events," he said, and after that, the five present started walking out of the place.
Even so, just before they left, a man burst in loudly.
"Sir, the Allen Clan has issued a communique; they sent people here!" the man who entered spoke quickly after finding them so close to the door.
And a man behind, belonging to the Allens, rushed in.
He surveyed everyone present and focused his gaze on Matt.
'What timing.' The man thought.
He immediately opened the parchment, which had Allen's communiqué on it, and began to speak its contents.

Author: Hello. Today or yesterday (28), there were presidential elections in my country (Venezuela), and they did not end well. That's why it took me so long to bring the chapters, and I was only able to write one on time. Maybe there won't be chapters tomorrow because everything could get worse in my country, but I will try to write the two chapters, and if I can, I will try to bring three.
Thank you for reading and supporting me!
