User blog comment:AquilaeAltair/OnS Theories. Thirteenth Theory - Krul Tepes, what does her actions reflect?/@comment-36009152-20190418214348

Could offer an alternative perspective on Krul! First she has always been a stand out character. Even though it was to gather them as livestock, gathering Yu, Mika and the other orphans and taking them to Sanguinem was at least better than leaving them to their own devices. More so with, oh most of the entire world’s population deceased all around them! Funny that the vampire queen Yu wanted to defeat so bad was the one who kind of rescued them, kept them safe from the four horseman of john lurking outside. Besides third progenitor, queen of Japan makes for one notable ally who wanted her seraphs around her.

It links into her at the beginning of vampire reign, saviour and completely indifferent really to humans. She is the responsible one securing vampires their food source to her credit. That she could favour people was really nice to see more so with the apathy towards humans vampires express in general. Her bond with her brother is an especially good trait, and as we say that is likely the tie to her humanity so she can also extend care towards Mika.

I know I just wrote Krul immediately taking steps to secure a food supply not just for her kingdom but for all the vampires under her (what a champion!) Yet for whatever reason, though well thought out, maybe it is also a ruse to gather her seraphs before something bad happened to them on the streets. It worked, they were, in her mind, secure in her kingdom so she also has her vampires stable, her seraph weapons in reserve and a means of progress for news on Ashera. It is like some prism reflection with three excellent manoeuvres going on!

At first we could think Krul told Mika of what the humans had done as a means of winning him over, with him not exactly a fan of vampires for understandable and justified reasons. Yet maybe it really was also a way to have Mika at ease, with no desires to return to humanity it would be a nice goal to have him all good with being a vampire. If not that then yes do hope she considers how important Yu is to Mika with her feeling the same longing for someone very special in her brother. Was thinking Krul would want Mika and Yu with her, and if her plans finalised in gaining Ashera back or something then she retains enough emotion to know they would be happy together. Much better than, oh you have served your purpose, later, ha.

Yes, an excuse for war to stop the amassing humans but like gathering the children before it is an easy sell because it helps the vampires. Yet is also has an additional purpose as you pointed out. Wonder if Ferid (learning from Guren) tipped Krul off that her messenger would be on the battlefield somewhere? More than likely with Ferid having the privilege of travelling with her, and that she was on the specific lookout for the messenger which she found in Guren himself, kind of. At the time her actions could have been put down to defeating the humans. Then in retrospect there was a sweeter side with her overlapping if not true plan of gathering what info she could on Ashera. With being able to detect him on some level, do find it fascinating how stronger vampires are capable of sensing demons, have to say it!



With Krul not involving too many others in her actions (she can count on exclusively Mika) maybe it is because of her joint plans where she has to consider the parallel course. Like gathering the survivors of the apocalypse, to declaring war on the demon army, there is usually a duel purpose to Krul’s plans. Quite the multi tasker really, get vampires a food source and gather her seraphs. Defend vampires from the army at the same time using the opportunity to locate the messenger for her private goals. Here she does not inform other vampires her plans because the vampires themselves can be collateral in any human or seraph attacks for all she cares. Krul is ultimately focused on her own goals, and they still likely come first over the well being of her fellow vampires no matter the rank.

Agree that vampires cannot feel what she feels being a part of the reason Krul keeps her ideas largely to herself. Krul maybe also involves Mika because he knows what is it like, other vampires consider her eccentric for her actions they have lost touch with. With Mika a lot of her whisperings and council have proved vital to avoid pitfalls. Mika not giving Guren even a second to take more cursed gear supplements worked wonders. Rather than give a foe a chance to gain power, end the combat then even when having the upper hand. Similarly when Yu is found, Mika was simply to grab him and go. Both those attitudes likely came from Krul, just focus only on what matters and take the most direct route to achieve ones goals. Matches Krul’s fighting styles, no fancy sword movements, slice off an arm here, break a neck there whichever wins fastest. Not making any mistakes or giving anyone a chance to get one up on you, Krul does not intend to have Mika experience anything like she did with Ashera.

Would definitely like to know how after all her long crafted plans, if she has a way to bring Ashera back both after the whole demon, and imprisoned in cursed gear things. That is likely Krul's dual reason for keeping contact with human higher ups in the military. Like her vampires, it is to keep the humans happy, and likely they could develop the means to bring Ashera back from his state. If anyone could, the Hiragis could!

When it comes to Krul Tepes, especially with her actions and motives, classic case of the more we learn the less we know.
