On the porch of Scathach's mansion, two women were enjoying the tranquil mood of Nightingale's endless night. If strangers looked at them, they would think the women were sisters because of their identical appearance, but they could barely imagine that they were actually mother and daughter.
"Mother... Be honest with me..." Ruby spoke in a neutral voice.
"Hmm?" Scathach looked at her daughter.
"Why are you interested in my Darling?" She looked into her mother's eyes for answers. Ruby knew that her mother was interested in people with great powers; an example of this is Siena, her eldest adoptive sister. In the past, Siena showed great potential, and because of that, her mother adopted her.
Victor's potential is obvious; this is undeniable. Ruby still remembers the day that Victor assumed the form of 'Count Vampire' with only the awakening of powers, this kind of potential only appeared in the children of the King Vampire and Count vampires.
But if it were a small interest, Ruby would understand, but... Her interest in Victor is very abnormal, she went so far as to build an entire coliseum just for Victor. Building a coliseum was not cheap, and especially hiring witches for the service.
"..."
Scathach's neutral face suddenly changed into a big smile, "Ah~, my sweet and beloved daughter, my precious little Ruby. You really have no idea what you've got yourself into, huh?"
"...?" Ruby didn't expect this response from her mother.
Scathach gets up from the chair she was sitting in, and slowly she walks to the front of the chair where Ruby was sitting, she kneels in front of her daughter and lightly touches her daughter's face:
"Look at you, so young, so innocent, so pure, like a little red flower that's just growing~. I always had concerns that someone might try to deceive you," She started to caress her daughter's face.
"M-Mother?" Ruby didn't understand her mother's sudden reaction.
"Because of that, I was always overprotective of you. Who knew I could feel like this soon…" Scathach placed a hand on her chest, and her face showed a little disdain, "In the past, I hated that feeling, but… It's not so bad..."
"..." Ruby looked at her mother's expression without understanding anything. In moments like this, when she was frustrated with herself, she always said that she understood her mother, but in the end, she couldn't understand anything.
"...Mother, are you running away from the question?" Ruby asked
"..." Scathach exhibited a gentle smile, she looked at her daughter and stroked her face again:
"Who knows? Maybe I am, you know, right? I'm an old person, and I get emotional easily."
"..." Ruby looks at her mother's smile with neutral eyes; 'Again, she always evades questions, she's like a slippery eel, she never gave me a satisfactory answer, how can I try to understand her if she doesn't say anything? I'm not psychic!... This is frustrating…'
Since she was a little girl, Ruby has always felt like this. Just when she thought that she understood her mother, something happened that made her realize that she really didn't understand anything about her mother. For a child who wanted to be closer to her mother, it was frustrating, that was annoying!... And most importantly, that was lonely...
Scathach flashes a loving smile and tugs on both of Ruby's cheeks.
"Fua~!? S-Stop."
Scathach lets go of her daughter's chubby cheeks. "My little Ruby... Don't try to understand me; you'll end up going crazy just like me," She strokes her daughter's head.
Ruby looks at her mother, and she thinks; 'Oh, I already know this pattern, she's going to say something like.'
"A being who has lived for two thousand years on this Earth always has screws loose in their head."
"A being who has lived for two thousand years on this Earth always has screws loose in their head."
Ruby repeated her mother's words in unison.
"..." Scathach exhibited a surprised face.
Ruby flashes a slight smile, "It's the same pattern; when you don't want to say something to me, you keep throwing these confusing phrases in an attempt to distract me."
"..." Scathach's smile began to grow, "Pfft..." Then, unable to take it, she started to laugh, "HAHAHAHAHA!"
"...?" And that laugh only made Ruby's brain stop working again.
Scathach laughed as if finding something very funny; after a few minutes of laughing, she looks at her daughter with a gentle smile:
"Ah~, since Victor appeared, I seem to be laughing more."
"!!!" Ruby looked at her mother with a wary look, "Mother!?"
"Hmm?" Seeing her daughter's gaze, she understood something, "Oya? Are you thinking indecent things? You're already that age; what a perverted daughter I have~."
Ruby's face turned pure red, she never imagined her mother would tease her.
"Hahaha, you're so cute," Scathach pulls her daughter's head to her chest, and soon she starts stroking Ruby's head.
'It's different from Darling…' She thought when she felt her mother caress her head.
"..." Ruby sighed wearily and snuggled her head into her mother's breast, "It's frustrating... I'm your daughter, but I can never fully understand you."
For a moment, Scathach stopped stroking Ruby's head, "...Silly, it is impossible for someone to completely understand another being."
"Mostly understand someone like me." Scathach chuckled a little, and then she started stroking Ruby's head again.
Ruby looks up and looks at her mother, "Is there anyone who can understand you?"
For a moment, the face of a man smiling just like her appeared in Scathach's mind, but she shook her head inwardly, saying it was impossible for that to happen.
"...Who knows...? If there were someone like that, I would like to meet that person. Sometimes even I don't understand myself completely, I just do what I want, hahaha."
Sigh!
Ruby sighed again, she snuggles her head in her mother's breast and says without looking at her mother, "One day... One day, I'll understand you completely." She made a promise to herself.
"..." Scathach didn't say anything, she just kept stroking her daughter's head. Then, slowly, she turns her face to the moon and thinks; 'Ah~. My beloved daughter... I really wish that day will never come.'
...
After Ruby's conversation with her mother, the redhead decided it was time to visit her Darling.
Ruby was walking through the forest with an annoyed face; it was only when she left her mother's presence that she understood something:
Sigh!
Ruby sighed again, "She tricked me!" She stomped the ground in frustration.
She wanted to ask about her mother's interest in Victor, but at some point, the conversation turned into a mother-daughter conversation, and she avoided the subject entirely.
"She's always like that!" She steps on the ground again, and when she hit the ground, the ground froze completely, she ignored the frozen ground and yelled in frustration as she ruffled her hair, "Gaaah!!"
"She always uses that lip service and deceives me! Damn it! I should have known this, but why do I always fall for this trick!?" With frustration building inside her body, Ruby looks at a poor tree with her eyes glowing red.
"FUCK!" She closes her fist and attacks the tree.
BOOOOM!
The poor tree flew towards an unknown place...
Now that she was letting off steam, various feelings she had been holding in her heart started to come out.
She remembers an arrogant blonde vampire, "And that fucking arrogant son of a bitch! He always caused me trouble, and I had no excuse to kill him, but the first plausible excuse I find, he runs away! Damn it!"
She started attacking the surrounding landscape in frustration!
Stones, trees, sand, plants, everything wasn't safe from Ruby.
"Violet, this spoiled bitch! Always causing me trouble! Doesn't she know how hard it is to clean up her mess!? Especially in that incident where she blew up a damn building in the middle of New York!"
She created ice out of nowhere and attacked a rock!
"I mean…I know she was angry at being harassed, I was angry too, but she didn't need to blow up the entire building! She could have just killed the man! This would avoid drawing the attention of humans, and it would also avoid problems with the royal guard! If it weren't for the fear that the royal guard has of my mother, we would be in much bigger trouble!"
"AHHHHG!" She ruffles her hair again.
She sighs a little relieved, but soon the frustration rises in her heart when she remembers something:
Sasha isn't out of the loop either! Though she isn't as troubled as Violet, can't she be any less reckless!? She was almost killed by hunters, and instead of looking for help, she isolates herself and doesn't accept anyone's help!"
"Irritating! Doesn't she know how worried I was!?"
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" She kicks the ground several times, and every time she kicks the ground, little ice explosions occur, so the whole area around Ruby feels like a pretty epic battle has taken place.
"And Darling is very insensitive! Because he hasn't come to find me yet! Doesn't he know how much I miss him!? And why am I having such strong feelings for someone I just met!? Ahhhhhh!" She ruffles her hair again.
After screaming in frustration.
She puts her finger to her lips and thinks, 'It's his blood, right? It's his blood that made me interested in him, right?' She tried to convince herself that this was it.
'But what is this feeling of obsession!? I feel like I want him just for me, and I get annoyed when Sasha and Violet are around; I want to kidnap him and lock him up in a basement. I want him just for me!'
"Aaaah! What are these feelings!?" She was very confused.
She lays on the ground and looks at the moon for a long time, she sighs, then she says, "It's all Violet's fault...Yes, it's all Violet's fault, she always loses sight of what's important when she's angry, and I have to clean up her mess later! If it was not-"
She was going to say more but stopped when she heard something.
"Whistle!" She heard someone whistle.
"Who's there!?" She stood up and looked at the visitor in a fighting stance. As the moonlight illuminates the visitor, Ruby's face darkened.
"D-D-D-Darling!?"
"Yo," Victor smiled gently as he looked at Ruby's disheveled appearance.Chapter 50: Ruby and Victor.
"Look how dirty your beautiful red hair is," Victor spoke in a gentle tone as he arranged Ruby's appearance with his hands.
"... W-When did you arrive...?" Ruby didn't move, she was paralyzed.
"From the part you said; 'she tricked me'." Victor displayed a sneaky smile.
"!!!" Ruby's face changed expression several times.
Victor watched with curiosity as Ruby's face changed to a shocked expression, then an embarrassed expression, then an angry expression, and finally a resigned sigh.
Sigh!
"…If you were there, you could have called me…" she had a very dejected expression.
Finishing fixing Ruby's messy hair, Victor spoke with a big smile on his face:
"Hell no."
"... Eh?" Ruby didn't expect that answer.
"I didn't want to miss this show," Victor spoke as he pointed to the landscape around him, "A rare moment of my wife who is usually cold and aloof venting her emotions~, I will never miss this opportunity! Look, I even recorded it to see in the future." He takes out his cell phone and shows Ruby the video.
"!!!" Ruby's face immediately turned crimson red when she heard Victor's words, and her face turned completely red when she saw the video Victor recorded.
"DELETE! NOW!" Ruby yelled.
"Eh?" Victor showed his face in horror; it was as if Ruby had asked him to do something inhumane, "I wouldn't commit such blasphemy, I need this video to show my children in the future how cute their mother is~."
"C-C-Child...!? Y-Y-you, T-This-" She was trying to say something, but because of Victor's words that caught her off guard, she wasn't managing to form a coherent train of thought.
Victor felt his heart being hit by an arrow when he saw Ruby's face.
"Ahh~, my wife is so cute!" Victor suddenly hugged Ruby!
"!!!?" Ruby's face got redder when she heard Victor speak, instinctively when Victor hugged her, she started to struggle, she didn't even know what she was doing, she just wanted to get out of here and hide in a hole, she was so embarrassed!
"L-Let go of me!"
"Never!" Victor spoke with a conviction that shook Ruby completely.
"..." Ruby stopped struggling and looked at Victor.
Seeing Ruby's cute face looking at him, he unconsciously displayed a gentle smile and kissed her.
"!!!" Not expecting this surprise attack, Ruby was completely melted in Victor's arms, she couldn't gather the strength to do anything else.
'Ah~, why am I fighting? He's my Darling... I'm just supposed to accept everything,' She thought with her mind a little shaken, then she wrapped her arms around Victor's neck and kissed him back.
A few minutes passed, and Victor stopped kissing Ruby; when he stopped kissing Ruby, a bridge of saliva connecting the couple's mouth formed. He looks at Ruby's red eyes and Ruby's erratic breathing.
He understood what she wanted, displays a gentle smile, and shows his neck, "Eat."
Ruby wasted no time, her teeth changed into sharp fangs, and soon she bit Victor's neck!
"Ugh," Victor held back the moan as he felt Ruby's fangs pierce his neck, and, if that wasn't enough, he felt two mountains that were quite soft against his chest.
He holds Ruby by her ass, and when he felt Ruby's entire body, he thought; 'This body is just very unfair; it feels like I'm hugging a very seductive Succubus, I feel like I'm going to lose myself in lust if I don't control myself!'
Having sucked the blood from Sasha and Violet, the only one left was Ruby to quench Victor's thirst completely, soon a primordial desire began to rise in Victor's body.
His eyes changed to blood red, and sharp fangs replaced his teeth; he pushed Ruby's shirt back a little and bit down on his wife's collarbone!
"Ahhh~" Ruby moaned very loudly. For some reason, her legs were feeling very weak now, she also felt a clear liquid that was leaking from her secret place; this liquid was making a mess with her pants.
"...?" Victor didn't understand why she reacted so strongly, but he didn't have time to think about it when the taste of blood touched his tongue. Unconsciously, he tightened his grip on Ruby's thick ass.
Ruby wraps her legs around Victor's waist; when she does this, she feels something thick touching her intimate place, "D-Darling~" She looks up at the sky with unfocused eyes. She seems to be very ecstatic, she licks the blood that was running from her lips; this blood is very tasty!
Ruby's eyes begin to glow blood red, "Darling!"
Again, she bit Victor's neck.
...
A few minutes later, when the couple was completely satisfied.
"Hahaha, look what a mess we made" Victor chuckled when he saw the messed up state of his and Ruby's clothes.
Ruby looked at a specific region of Victor's body; 'he reacted to me~.'
For some reason, she was very happy.
"Hmm?" Seeing where his wife was looking, Victor flashed a sly smile.
"Are you curious...? Do you want to see?" He held his pants like he was going to take them off at any time
"…Huh? N-No! I do not want to!" Ruby turned her face to the side.
"Heh~" Victor appeared beside her, "Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Despite saying this, unconsciously, she looked again at the hard member.
Victor added information, "When I evolved, I noticed that all the muscles in my body grew and became denser and stronger~, and as that limb is a muscle…" He didn't need to continue; after all, Ruby was an intelligent woman.
Swallows!
She swallowed hard, and indecent thoughts began to form inside her head; just imagining her being ravaged by Victor, a sense of anticipation began to grow in her heart.
Victor's smile grew; he approached Ruby and lightly pulled the tip of Ruby's nipples that were hard as stones.
"!!!" Ruby's face turned red, and she pulled away from Victor quickly as she covered her breasts.
"W-What are you doing!?"
"Teasing my wife."
"…" Ruby's face turned completely red, then she turned her face away again as she pouted.
Victor appears beside her again, "I can't help it~. My wife, who is usually cold and distant, is showing so many reactions; somehow, I feel like my sadistic side is waking up~."
He blows in Ruby's ears.
"!!!" Ruby walks away again. "S-Stop!" Despite saying this, her face was completely red and panting.
"Okay, I'll stop," Victor backed away and spoke, still smiling.
"Eh...?" Ruby didn't expect this answer, somehow she got...
He appeared again beside her, "Are you just disappointed now?"
"...." She showed a face that said, 'how did you know?'
"Heh~, I have a very perverted wife, huh? How lucky~."
Ruby's face starts to turn completely red, and soon, a small explosion happens in her head.
"Idiot!" She screamed.
When Ruby tried to run away from this situation.
"You can't run away~!" Victor holds her like a princess and starts walking towards the place where Sasha and Violet are sleeping.
"Let me go!" She started to struggle as she screamed.
Victor squeezes Ruby's ass a little hard, "If you don't stop, I'll continue what I was doing before."
"..." Ruby looked at Victor with a blank expression.
"Let me go!!" She screamed louder and began to struggle.
"..." Victor looked at Ruby with an incredulous expression, but slowly his smile started to grow, "Heh~" He kissed Ruby's mouth.
"Humpf!?" Ruby was taken by surprise, but soon she returns Victor's kiss.
A few seconds later when Victor stopped kissing Ruby:
"I never thought my wife was a masochist~" He chuckled.
"!!!" Ruby's face turned completely red, and she turned her face away in an attempt to hide her embarrassment, she completely gave up on running away now; 'Masochist? Me!? How absurd…' She thought.
Victor displayed a gentle smile and then started walking again.
As he walked through the forest carrying Ruby like a princess, Victor's eyes glowed blood red for a few seconds, and he stared at a distant spot in the forest.
"Heh~," Seeing two individuals up in a tree, Victor exhibited a smile that wasn't a satisfied smile; after all, he wasn't an exhibitionist, and he didn't want anyone to see that side of his wife, even if these individuals were Ruby's sisters.
...
"It somehow developed into something e-exciting..." Lacus stuttered a little with a slightly red face.
"... Y-Yeah." Pepper nodded, her face completely red.
The two sisters were originally sleeping, but when they heard Ruby's voice in the mansion, they quickly woke up and went after the younger sister; they were missing Ruby so much.
But they didn't expect them to see this scene...
"…Somehow, I'm feeling that seeing this scene, it's going to come back to bite my ass in the future…" Pepper spoke with a grim face.
"…" Lacus was silent, she knows Pepper's instincts are usually correct.
Soon she shrugs as if it's not important, "Well, he won't hurt us. After all, we're related to his wife, and we didn't do any harm to Ruby." She understood a little of what Victor's personality was like.
In simple words, to understand, Victor was like their mother...
"Fuck," Now that Lacus thought about it, he really had their mother's personality, and if one thing their mother knew how to do was tease people when she wanted to.
But despite not liking to be bothered, Lacus was a little expectant about what Victor was going to do with them.
"Sister, stop NTR fetish," Pepper spoke into Lacus' ear.
"Kyaaa!" Lacus was startled by the sudden voice and yelled in a surprisingly cute voice, she looked at Pepper, "What are you doing!?"
Suddenly her face turned a little red, "I don't have an NTR fetish!"
"Funnnnn" Pepper stares at Lacus in away cute.
"What?"
"How do you know what NTR is?" After all, that wasn't a word 'ordinary' people knew.
"..." Lacus used her right to remain silent.
Chapter 51: Meeting.
Scathach house, two days later.
At a ridiculously large table, several people were seated. And, not far from the table, Luna, Kaguya, and Maria were waiting to take any requests from their respective masters.
"…Victor, I'm really wondering if it was the right decision for my mom to bring you here," Siena asked, she was sitting next to Lacus and Pepper.
"Oh?" Scathach looked at her daughter with curious eyes.
"Hmm?" Victor, who was sitting on a couch next to Violet, Ruby, and Sasha, looked at Siena with a disinterested look.
"Question," He continued with the same disinterested look, then he added, "Are you the owner of this mansion?"
"No," Siena denied.
"Then why are you poking your nose in matters that don't involve you?"
"..." Pepper broke out in a cold sweat when she heard what Victor said.
Violet and Sasha looked at Siena with a neutral gaze.
"Heh~, these past two days, all you've done is just…play with your wives…" She wanted to offend him, but she didn't want to offend his wives, who were her friends. In the end, she didn't know what to say. "I can't sleep because of the noise."
"I'm doing what your mother asked me to do…" Victor flashes a sneer, "I'm relaxing~."
"…" Siena frowned.
"If you're so upset, why don't you move somewhere else? Or rather... Why don't you ask your mother about it and throw me out?"
Crack!
Unconsciously, Siena broke the wood of the table. Moving to another place? That is impossible, she always wants to be close to her mother. Question her mother? She would rather die than do something like that, she respects her mother a lot.
"Sigh," Ruby sighed.
"Can't you get along with her?" She spoke while looking at Victor with the same cold face as always.
"..." Victor felt his heart moved, it's been a few days since his and Ruby's relationship progressed, and he understood better his wife, who didn't show many emotions.
He wanted to get along with Siena, but in the end, he couldn't lie to himself:
"...It's impossible," Victor said.
"Impossible," Siena agreed.
"She looks at me like she's looking at a cattle; I don't like that," Victor said. He didn't really care about Siena; he just wanted to get along with her because of his wife. But, he was never a man who accepts being stepped on by other people. Even before he turned into a vampire, he was a very vindictive man, and he doesn't care if she's Scathach's daughter or Ruby's sister.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and blood for blood. That's how he thought before, and that way of life has only been enhanced by his evolution to a vampire.
"But isn't that what you are…? A cattle?" She smiled disdainfully, but soon her expression changed to neutral as she felt the air of the three women standing next to Victor change.
"Bitch... repeat what you said...?" The air around Violet began to heat up, her face distorted, and she looked at Siena like she was going to pounce on her neck at any moment.
"Big sister…" Ruby didn't say much, but from her cold stare and the chilling temperature around her, Siena could tell she was furious.
"Siena, I suggest you don't say this in our presence…" Sasha advised coldly, she was trying not to act too reckless despite being annoyed.
"…" Siena looked at all of this with a little shock.
'Violet is understandable, she has the same personality as her mother, but Sasha and Ruby too? How did he get their affection so fast...?' Siena thought.
"I'll be careful," She backed off; Siena was very fond of Ruby, and she didn't want to get into conflict with her sister. The interest she had in Victor still remained, but from the moment she learned that Victor was a human in the past, half of her interest was lost. However, she was still curious to know how a 'commoner' had so much power.
"Kakakaka," Scathach laughed as if she found it all funny, she shook her wine glass of blood.
"She must be irritated because, since you arrived, she can't sleep."
"Yes...I can't sleep either; what in the name of the seven hells are you doing in that room?" Lacus added.
"…" Pepper's face turned red with embarrassment.
Victor patted Violet's and Ruby's head, who were beside him. Since that moment in the woods together, Ruby seems to have acquired some of Violet's personality traits.
"..." Feeling Victor's caresses, Ruby's face continued with the same cold expression, but the air around her became more peaceful. Violet was more expressive, she just flashed a satisfied smile and ignored Siena.
"Relaxing with my wives~" He replied to Lacus.
"…" Pepper's face turned redder. Then, feeling Victor's gaze on her, she quickly turns away and ignores everything.
"...Can't you make it more silent...? I want to sleep…" Lacus commented in a low, shy voice.
"Impossible; I can't control my wives' voices." He chuckled a little.
"…Fuck it." She cursed under her breath.
"Kakakaka, don't tease my daughters so much..." Scathach laughed, and then she added with a big smile, "Or do you want to feel my teasing?"
"Mother!?" Ruby and Siena spoke at the same time.
"I'm looking forward to it," He replied with a Scathach-like smile.
Suddenly Victor felt three fists in his stomach.
"Oof," He looks at his wives.
"Oh?" Scathach found it all very interesting.
"Darling... What are you implying?" Violet asked with blank eyes."Indeed... Don't flirt with my mom," Ruby spoke in a colder voice than usual.
"Husband, control yourself... Or do you want to lose your little brother...?" Sasha threatened.
Victor's whole body shivered, then his smile grew disproportionately, "HAHAHA," he started to laugh.
"...?" The three women didn't understand his reaction.
"...Sigh, he really has problems with his head," Sasha said, suddenly she felt someone kissing her face.
"!!?" She looks to the side and sees Victor smiling.
"Yes, I have head problems," He nodded in agreement, then he looked at his three wives with a gentle smile that looked like it was being lit by the sun itself:
"I just love my wives too much~."
"!!!" Sasha, Ruby, and Violet received critical damage from this unexpected attack.
And the damage didn't stop there; the damage swelled and spread AOE and hit Lacus and Pepper.
"Wawawawa," Pepper began to shake her head several times to get the indecent thoughts out of her head.
"..." Lacus just looked at her sister as if she had lost her mind.
"Sigh, Lord Victor is becoming a Playboy," She commented in a low voice.
"...I've never seen Ruby with that expression..." Luna commented.
"..." Maria just looked at everything with a neutral gaze.
Ruby turns her face to the side, and her sisters could see that her ears were a bit red.
Sasha did something similar to Ruby, she was not used to this display of affection in public.
Violet simply hugged Victor possessively and started saying, "Darling~! Darling~! Darling~!"
Victor chuckled a little and started stroking Violet.
"...You're good at this," Siena praised, she realized what he'd done.
"Hmm?" Victor looked at her, confused.
"…" Seeing Victor's genuine expression, Siena thought; 'Don't tell me he did all this naturally!?'
Seeing that Siena didn't say anything, Victor lost interest; he looked at Scathach and saw the wine glass in her hand.
'Blood...' His eyes change to blood red, and unconsciously, he thinks in disgust; 'Rotten blood', and soon he gets up from the couch.
"...?" His wives didn't understand why he suddenly got up.
He walks to Scathach's side, "Allow me?"
"Hmm?" Scathach looked curiously at Victor. Seeing his gaze on the cup, she was curious about what he intended to do, so she hands the cup to him.
Victor takes the cup and dumps all the liquid on the floor.
When he did that, his face had an expression of disgust.
Seeing that the cup was empty, he bit his wrist with his sharp teeth, and soon his blood spilled into the cup.
"Darling!? What are you doing!?" Violet practically screamed, she was going to jump towards Victor, but she was stopped by Ruby and Sasha.
"What!?" She looked at Ruby and Sasha.
"Just watch," Ruby said, and Sasha nodded.
Ruby and Sasha expected to see something interesting; after all, they know that when Victor's blood leaves his body, it loses its delicious taste and turns to blood with a disgusting taste.
"!!!" Smelling blood in the air, every vampire in the room was hit with a strong scent, and all of them, without exception, were influenced in some way.
"... That is," Siena gulped, she could now understand the girls' obsession; the smell of blood was very delicious.
"...That looks good," Lacus muttered.
"..." Pepper just looked seriously at Victor's blood; unconsciously, she started drooling.
'The aroma is better than before,' Kaguya thought with an expressionless face.
"Ugh," Maria clenches her fist and swallows hard, she somehow tries to hold back her instincts to jump on top of Victor and devour his body. She was the one most affected by the scent of blood, she too was confused; 'Why didn't I feel this before…?'
She remembers seeing Natalia draw Victor's blood, but she didn't react as strongly as she did now.
Seeing that the glass was full, he nods his head satisfied.
Then he lifts his wrist, and in less than a second, the cut he made has regenerated.
"Try it," He offered the cup to Scathach.
"..." Scathach looked at the goblet filled with blood.
Smelling the yummy aroma, she asked, "What do you intend to do with this...?" She swallows dry at the end.
"I don't know," He replied, smiling.
"...Huh?"
"I just felt it was the right thing to do. So what are you going to do?"
... She hesitated for a few seconds, but soon she reached out and took the cup.
