Chapter 52: Meeting. 2

Victor just waited with a smile on his face. He didn't know why he offered his blood to Scathach, but one thing he was sure, something interesting was going to happen; something inside him said that.

Scathach brings the cup to her mouth, and slowly, she drank...

The moment Victor's blood touched her tongue, Scathach's eyes glowed pure red, and soon she had turned the cup over.

Gulp! Gulp!

She drank the blood like she was someone who found water for the first time in her life, she was dying of thirst.

"…" Siena, Pepper, and Lacus didn't believe what they were seeing.

"Lord Victor made another mistake... Now this madwoman is going to get even crazier," Kaguya sighed as she spoke in a low voice.

"…Oh? Who are you calling crazy, Maid?"

"Your owner, of course... Or isn't she crazy?"

"..." Luna didn't know how to answer that question; after all, she knew it was true.

Kaguya looks at Maria, who was slowly looking like someone who would lose control at any moment. Slowly her darkness began to spread and cover Maria's shadow; 'Just in case.'

"...How did she manage to drink that bad-tasting blood?" Sasha commented, she thought she was going to see something interesting, but she didn't expect that.

"Explain!" Violet didn't understand, she was angry because other people drank Victor's blood.

"Hmm. I think his blood is only bad for us. After all, we're used to drinking straight from the fountain…" Ruby deduced.

"So... For someone like Scathach who has never drunk straight from the fountain, his blood is delicious...?" Sasha looks around and notices the vampires' reactions. "The scent of his blood is very effective too, although it doesn't affect us."

"Maybe it doesn't affect us because we're not thirsty," Ruby said; they had spent two whole days feasting on each other's blood.

"Huh? What is happening!? Explain now!"

Seeing Violet's irritated face, Ruby and Sasha sighed and then began to explain what Natalia had done.

As this happened, Victor flashed a small smile as Scathach drank all of his blood.

He heard the sounds of chains from somewhere, "Hmm?" He looked around and even used his vampire vision, but he couldn't pinpoint where that sound came from.

Realizing that Scathach had finished drinking his blood, he stopped looking for the sound of the chain and focused his attention on his mother-in-law.

"What do you think?" He asked.

Scathach lowers the cup, drops it to the floor, and hears the sound of glass breaking, but she doesn't care, she starts breathing heavily and erratically. It was like she was intoxicated by something; her cheeks get red, and she looks at Victor with her eyes glowing blood red.

"Look how you got dirty~" Victor approaches Scathach and uses his hand to wipe the blood from her mouth, "Don't drink so fast next time; you might choke."

"..." For a few seconds, silence dominated the room. It was as if everyone forgot to breathe; they were just too shocked to see Victor treating Scathach like she was some kind of kid who needs help.

"Boy…" She took a moment to control her breathing, but soon she spoke in a serious tone, "You're playing with fire."

"Don't worry. I'm immune to fire." He continued to smile as he stroked her cheek.

"…" Scathach's smile grew, and an obsessive look began to appear on her face.

"How are you feeling?" Victor asked as he backed away; he was feeling three stares piercing his back.

Seeing Victor walk away, Scathach's eyes lost their intensity and became calmer, and, after a few seconds, her eyes returned to sapphire green:

"…I'm feeling better, and my head isn't hazy like it used to be, but..."

Her eyes went back to blood red, "That's still not enough."

"Umu. Bloodlust, huh?" He said.

"Side effect of losing the 'husband'" She spoke dismissively.

"Yes, I heard," Victor laughed and continued, "Apparently, you killed your husband."

"Oh…? Were you scared to hear that?"

"Scared? Pfft." He shrugs nonchalantly, "If you killed him, you probably judged him as 'pointless', or 'impotent'"

"Heh… How are you so sure about that? It could be something else that led me to kill him as an important reason or something, don't talk like you know me."

Victor rolled his eyes, "Scathach, please... Don't treat me like a fool. I may have only known you for a little while, but one thing I'm sure of."

"You're not crazy…well, not totally…" He chuckled a little at the end.

"..." Scathach continued to look at Victor neutrally.Victor's smile grew, his eyes changed to blood red, and his teeth changed to sharp fangs:

"You were bored, right?" He approached her face.

"…" Slowly, Scathach's smile grew.

"Such a boring man, a man without potential, a man who doesn't train, Blah, Blah. There are several reasons, but the main one was boredom. He wasn't like you, he didn't want the same goals as you, and from the beginning, you weren't interested in him; you just took him because he had 'powers' that matched your own power."

"A tool, that's what he was, and, when he fulfilled his purpose," He clenched his fists in front of her, "you eliminated him."

"...Indeed, you got it right." Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Victor, but one question remained:

"How did you know my reasons? You speak as if you were present."

"Hmm, I just took your past into consideration." He withdrew his hand from her front and pulled back a little.

"Oh?"

"Countess Scathach Scarlett, a vampire over 2000 years old, a cold and crazy woman. With just this little bit of information, someone with 2 IQ can deduce a little bit of your personality; the rest was a guess based on my few experiences I had with you."

Victor smiled, "2000 years old, you've experienced a lot of wars, a lot of tragedy, and you probably had a lot of fun in those wars, huh? For such a person, the end justifies the means."

"Indeed, the reckless woman."

"Hahahaha, you are right and wrong" She laughed amusedly.

"Oh?"

"In the past, I was more cautious, but after I realized that I got so much stronger than the beings in this world, I stopped worrying."

"The law of the fittest, huh? Understandable, after all, who in this world could challenge Scathach?" He spoke, smiling.

"Indeed," She smiled, then she replied, "Only one man could fight me, but he's very boring and prefers to rule this mess he calls 'Nightingale'. And, when he's not doing that, he's been sleeping for centuries; he's probably rusty from not training for millennia."

"Heh..." Victor displayed a distorted smile, "Who is this man who is capable of fighting you?"

"The King, The First Original, and the Progenitor of All Vampires."

"I see…" Victor's smile grew and widened erratically; he was even feeling his heart pounding with emotion.

"Take that smile off a little, brat. If you can't even fight me, you can forget about trying to fight that man." She advised him.

"I don't feel like fighting him," Victor lied. He did want to fight that man, but not now; that would just be suicide.

"Oh?"

"I was just happy that there are people stronger than you," He spoke the truth; upon learning that there is someone stronger than Scathach, he realized that that saying, 'there is always someone stronger than you', was true.

Scathach's face distorted a little, "He's not stronger than me."

"But you're not 100% sure you could beat him fighting, right? He doesn't have the title of Progenitor just for decoration."

"..." She was speechless for a moment when she heard Victor's words.

"Hahaha, you're right." She laughed casually.

"..." Siena, Lacus, Ruby, and even Pepper were speechless when they saw their proud mother admitting it so casually. They were also feeling jealous to see their mother laughing and talking casually to Victor, she never did that to her daughters.

"...Hmm, Mother?" Siena spoke

"Hmm?" She looked at her daughter.

Seeing her mother's bored face, Siena bit her lip a little, "Why did you call this meeting?"

"Oh…? Indeed, what was the reason?" She completely forgot.

"...Mother..." Siena sighed and looked at Luna.

Seeing Siena's gaze, Luna yelled, "Yes!" Then, she disappeared and soon returns with a letter in her hand and hands it to Siena.

Realizing that his conversation with Scathach had ended, Victor walked towards the sofa, where he was sitting, and sat down among his wives.

"Darling... What the fuck are you doing?"

"…" Victor was speechless.

"Hmm... Talking?" He answered honestly.

"...To me, it looked like you were flirting with my mother. Are you crazy?" Ruby spoke in a cold tone of voice.

"Treason is not allowed. If you betray me, I will kill you." Sasha warned in a serious tone.

"... Weren't those my sentences?" Violet looked at Sasha, who completely ignored her. Being honest with herself, Sasha couldn't kill Victor like Violet; she'd just lock him away somewhere so he could be safe.

"Eh?" Victor wore a genuinely confused face.

"..." Sasha, seeing Victor's confused face, was speechless; 'is he doing this unconsciously?'

She focused on her connection and saw Victor's superficial thoughts; 'Hmm, why are they angry? I was just talking normally.'

"Where in the seven hells is this normal!?" She practically screamed!

"…" The women in the room looked at Sasha.

"... Sorry," Her face turned a little red, she looked at Ruby and Violet, "Use that."

"Oh, I forgot about that," Violet said.

"Oh," Ruby just opened her mouth a little.

The two concentrate and look at the superficial thoughts of Victor, who was looking at them; 'Hmm, my wives are so cute, I want to do XxxXx, xXx~.'

"…" The two women's faces turned pure red, and soon they turned their faces to the side.

"...?" Victor didn't understand their reaction.

Sasha was curious, she focused on the connection she had with Victor and saw his thoughts; 'Cute~.'

"...?" She didn't understand why Violet and Ruby were reacting like that.

"What are you doing?" Pepper asked curiously, she was looking at her sister, who had a red face, and was acting suspiciously.

"N-Nothing," Ruby stuttered a little.

"Funnnn..." Pepper glared at her younger sister.

"What?"

"Are you practicing dual cultivation here?"

"…" Lacus and Ruby's faces turned pure red.

Chapter 53: What will you do?

"Dual cultivation?" Victor, Violet, and Sasha were confused.

Somehow Ruby and Lacus sighed in relief when they realized they were the only ones who understood.

"Pepper! Stop talking nonsense!" Ruby spoke.

"Awawawawa, I'm sorry! But you blushed, and you were acting weird, I thought-"

"Stop! Okay! We understand!" Lacus closes Pepper's mouth.

"Hmmhmmmm," Pepper tried to say something, but only strange sounds came out of her mouth.

"Don't let her say anything!" Ruby ordered.

"I know!" Lacus spoke.

"Enough," Siena said, trying to bring order to the situation, she looks at her mother.

"Hmm? What is it, Siena? I was having fun~" Scathach said. For her, a bored person, watching her daughters play with her son-in-law was something nice.

"Mother, Why did Lady Victoria declare war?" Siena asked in a serious tone.

"!!!" Hearing the familiar name, Sasha reacted, "Aunt? What is my aunt doing?"

"Oh, she proposed a game with Clan Horseman to regain Clan Fulger's lost count title," Scathach replied.

"What!?" Sasha was shocked, she never thought that selfish, narcissistic, proud aunt would do something like that. She's pretty sure her aunt isn't doing it to help her Clan.

"The Horseman Clan accepted? What were the bet this time?" Siena asked.

"Horseman clan? I've never heard of this Clan," Violet questioned.

"I want to know too," Victor said.

"Oh, I'll let you two in on the subject." Ruby started to explain to Violet and Victor who Clan Horseman was.

"Victoria just wants the title of vampire count, and she's staked all her riches."

"…" Siena was speechless.

"Is she crazy!? Her equity is absurd; it's more than three trillion dollars counting on illegal and legal businesses; why would she give it up for just one title?" Sasha spoke.

Pepper and Lacus, realizing that the conversation was becoming 'boring', decided to close their eyes and go to sleep; they were too lazy to think about it.

"You don't know why since you're just a member of the Clan, but the title of vampire Count is very important," Siena said, and Scathach nodded in agreement.

"What do you mean?"

"Sorry, I can't say. Only the leaders of the Clan holding the title of Count can know this information."

Sasha frowned, then she looked to Scathach for answers.

"Don't look at me, Brat." She said and continued, "This is something that even I can't talk about."

"Tsk," Sasha doesn't like it, she looks at Siena, "And how do you know that?"

"Oh, it's because I took on Count's duties in my mother's place."

"... Is this allowed?"

"If the king approved, then yes, it's allowed." Siena smiled

"…" Sasha frowned in annoyance when she saw Siena's smile; for some reason, she didn't like that smile.

"I see..." Victor spoke when he finished listening to Ruby's entire explanation about the Clan Horseman.

"…Why didn't my mom tell me about this? This is an important issue." Violet asked herself.

"You probably left the house and didn't even want to talk to her, right?" Ruby spoke.

"…" Violet was silent, she knew Ruby was right.

"Scathach, tell me the situation of Sasha's family; you should know more about it, right?" Victor said in an unnaturally serious tone.

"Oh…? What will you do if you know?" Scathach smiled.

All the women looked at Victor, waiting for his answer; even Pepper and Lacus, who decided to sleep, were a little interested in Victor's answer.

"It depends on the situation," Victor started to speak.

"If Sasha is being 'owned' by someone else because of a stupid bet made by her idiot mother…" He looks at Sasha, "Sorry for the offense to my mother-in-law."

"It's okay. She's a fucking idiot; everyone knows that"

"…" Violet and Ruby were a little surprised to hear Sasha use such inappropriate words.

"Then? What will you do?" Scathach looked more interested than usual.

Victor spoke in a definitive tone as if it were an absolute truth, "Training, getting stronger, and no matter how long it takes, I will slaughter that entire Clan... Nobody touches my wives and gets away with it."

"…" Scathach's smile grew, she seemed to like the answer.

"Victor~" Sasha smiled.

"Hmm, maybe I'll make my mom lose a bet too..." Violet said; she got jealous.

Slap!

Ruby hits Violet on the head.

"Ouch!" Violet holds her head in pain: "What are you doing, bitch!?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Didn't you realize that when he said 'wives', he included us too?"

"Oh," Violet opened her mouth.

"And what are you going to do if Sasha doesn't belong to anyone and her family just lost the count title?" Siena asked a little curiously.

Victor looks at Siena and replies in a disinterested tone, "I won't do anything."

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Siena and Sasha spoke in unison.

Sasha is fine, and for me, that's what matters. Now, if she wants to get that stupid title back, I'll support her, and if she wants my help, I'll help her, but other than that, I won't intervene." It's not like since she's lost the title of count vampire, she would be poor.

"Stupid title…" Siena was trying not to strangle this man.

"...You believe in your wives a lot," Scathach said in a neutral tone.

Victor looks at Scathach and displays a gentle smile, "If I don't believe my wife, who will? I always believed in them, from the beginning." He spoke with absolute confidence in what he was saying.

"...I see," She displayed a small smile on her face.

"Victor!" Sasha suddenly hugged Victor.

"...?" He didn't understand, but he didn't deny her embrace; feeling small tears on his shirt, he was a little shaken.

"What's it...? What happened?"

"N-Nothing…-" She spoke, sobbing a little. "Just let me stay like this for a moment." She didn't know what she was feeling but hearing Victor's confident words somehow, she remembered talking to Julia; 'when did I get so emotional? I was not like that...'

"Umu, you can hug me all you want~" He chuckled, then he started stroking her head.

"...Unfair...This bitch-" Violet suddenly had her mouth covered by Ruby's hands.

"Read the mood, damn it!" Ruby spoke in a low voice.

"... Hmhmmmh," She tried to say something, but Ruby didn't understand.

"Satisfied? Now. Explain it to me," Victor said, looking at Scathach.

"Brat, you must have more-" Siena was going to say something, she was already annoyed to see Victor treating her mother so casually.

Victor looked at Siena as his eyes glowed pure red, "Shut up. You are annoying."

"!!?" Siena felt her body tremble, she tried to say something, but her mouth couldn't move, she couldn't move her body:

"Yes, I will be quiet," She spoke in a monotone.

"Good." He nodded with satisfaction; 'Finally, she was silent.' He thought.

"Oh?" Scathach looked at it curiously, she remembers seeing it in the past.

Kaguya also remembered a similar situation that happened to her; 'That again, doesn't he realize what he just did?' She thought when she saw Siena's reaction.

Violet's violet eyes sparkled a little when she saw Siena's reaction, she remembers that something happened in the past with the two budding hunters.

"Big sister? Why are you standing like a robot?" Pepper asked curiously, she pinched Siena's cheek, but the older sister wasn't moving.

Lacus, who saw everything that happened, just looked on with eyes shining with curiosity.

Scathach looks at Victor and says, "Sasha's situation is exactly the second situation." She totally ignored her daughter's condition.

"Oh?"

"The Horseman Clan requested a game with Sasha's mother, and the bet was the title of Count vampire." She explained and then added, "The Horseman Clan was betting on something very unique…"

"Something that even a vampire who's lived over 1900 years, and is bored as fuck, would be curious enough to bet the Count title for."

She puts on a face of disgust, "They were betting a hybrid."

The whole room was silent the moment they heard what she said.

...

Lucy's Underground Base.

"It's a success" Lucy smiled satisfied, he was looking at an open white coffin with the symbol of the black cross.

And on the floor were several red magic symbols; the symbols seem to have been made with blood.

"Yes, all we have to do now is fill the coffin with the blood of the innocents and noble vampires~."

"If everything goes as we planned, we will become noble vampires!"

"Indeed," Lucy nods with satisfaction, spending almost his entire fortune to hire a corrupt witch seems to have been worth it.

"What did you do with the sacred artifact? That one spear seemed to be quite strong," Karen asked.

"I threw it in the trash," Lucy replied.

"…" Karen was speechless, she even thought she had gone deaf for a few seconds. "...What did you do with the sacred artifact?" She decided to ask again.

"I threw it in the trash," Lucy replied.

"..."

Lucy looked at Karen, and when he saw her expression of disbelief, he explained, "The only ones who can use these artifacts are the hunters. If I sell them to the witches, those whores will sell information from me to the hunters, so the artifact was useless, and I threw it in the trash."

"...Couldn't you keep the artifact or something?"

"Keep? Where?" He asked.

"…" Karen couldn't answer.

"And I'm also not a fool who would keep a deadly weapon that I can't even use in my house." Lucy snorted.

"Because of that, I threw it in the trash."

"... Make sense" Karen didn't find arguments to refute Lucy's decision, and the spear had an ancient look. In fact, the item didn't even have the appearance of a weapon; it looked like white wood in the shape of a spear.

"Where did you throw the spear?"

"In Violet's territory."

"…" Somehow Karen had a bad feeling about this.

"Couldn't you throw it somewhere else!? At sea or something!?"

"The hunters would retrieve the spear if I did that; they somehow manage to track that object, you remember, right? Every time we would go somewhere, there were hunters waiting like they knew where we were going"

"...Yes, if it weren't for that corrupt witch, we'd be lost."

"See? As the witch's spell ran out, I threw the spear into Violet's territory. If the hunters find the spear, they will automatically link the incident to Clan Snow."

Karen started to think, and after a few seconds, she said:

"Hmm, I think you made a stupid decision."

"Huh?"

"Did you forget they know you stole the artifact?"

"Heh?" Lucy opened his eyes, then he said, "Of course I didn't forget! But they don't know who I was working for!"

"…Is your brain melting? Hunters aren't dumb, they can hate vampires and blame all the shit they do to us, but that's just dumb."

"First, you stole the artifact, and they know that; everyone knows that. Second, that princess of Clan Snow has already met the hunters, and they must know she doesn't have the artifact. Third, did you see the Vatican incident? That was probably retaliation from that crazy bitch; some stupid hunter must have hurt her daughter."

"The hunters must know that the three noble clans that were in that incident are not involved in this theft. Come on, what would a count vampire who is over 1500 years old want with an artifact like that? They are basically useless to them after all like you said; only hunters can use that weapon."

Realizing the important points she made, Lucy said, "A Karen with a brain… this is new."

"Huuh!?" Karen's face distorted into anger.

"Okay, Okay," Lucy backed off, "I'm going to retrieve the spear, and I'm going to throw it further away, okay?" he said. He would never admit that he didn't think deeply about it; Lucy was so excited about his plan working that he totally forgot about that detail.

"Throw the artifact as far away as possible, preferably under the sea or something," Karen suggested and adds with a serious look, "Don't fuck with us now. We're almost close to completing what we've wanted for so many centuries."

"... Okay."

Lucy picks up the phone and dials a number; then he puts it in his ear:

"Johnny? I have a job for you."

Chapter 54: Hybrids.

"Hybrids?" Victor asked in curiosity. Hearing that word, he remembered the movies he watched with his father; it was about a female vampire who wore a black tights outfit and had a hybrid boyfriend. He remembers that hybrids in fiction are often portrayed as the best of both races, and they are very strong.

"…" Siena, Violet, Sasha, and Ruby's faces practically changed to disgust when they heard the word.

Lacus and Pepper don't seem to care much.

"Yes. Disgusting creatures that are the result of crossing a Noble vampire and a werewolf."

"Hmm..." Victor looked around and saw the reaction that this word caused his wives; his curiosity increased:

"Are hybrids strong?" That was his first curiosity.

"Hybrids, strong? Pfft…" Siena started to laugh, she looked like she managed to regain control of her body. Siena wanted to irritate Victor as a form of revenge for what happened, but when she felt the gaze of Scathach, Ruby, Violet, and Sasha, she closed her mouth.

She only cared about her mother and Ruby; 'Why is my mom on his side now?' She thought.

"..." Victor looked at Siena with annoyed eyes; 'That bitch hadn't shut up?'

"Darling, unlike movies, hybrids aren't strong. They're like an error in the genetic code; they're something like a donkey."

"Oh?" Victor looked at Ruby.

Ruby continued, "Werewolves and vampires are two very different species genetically, and physiologically from each other, to put it in simple words, we are the opposite of each other, because of that quirk, we can't mix."

"And, when we get mixed up, an extremely rare case can happen, a hybrid can be born..." Violet spoke in disgust, just imagining that a vampire slept with a wolf; her body shuddered in disgust, she even felt like throwing up.

"As we are very different species from each other, the hybrid will be born with various genetic problems." Sasha continued, "they will be sterile, and they will have a short life expectancy. Sometimes they are born with unusual diseases that can affect the two species; because of that, when a hybrid is identified, it is immediately hunted and eliminated by the two races."

"Hmm, I see" Victor placed a hand on his chin.

"I wonder what the Horseman Clan was thinking about protecting a hybrid. Don't they know they can cause a pandemic at any time? What are the royal guards doing? Those old eunuchs wouldn't allow that kind of monstrosity to run around." Violet was surprisingly more involved in the conversation.

"They're quiet…Surprisingly quiet…" Siena spoke.

"Those old people who keep talking about how the past was a thousand flowers?" Ruby asked, then she frowned, "Do the king's guards have some sort of agreement with that Clan?"

"That's not possible; the royal guards are just a kind of police to keep everything in order. They only follow the orders of the royal family…" Sasha spoke, then she opened her eyes.

"Oh~, looks like you understand" Scathach exhibited a small smile...

"Someone from the royal family is supporting that clan," Sasha spoke with disgust, she started to think of the princes and princesses of the king, but only one came to mind when she thought of this kind of dirty scheme.

"The first prince?" She said.

"Probably I'm not sure yet, but that's something he would do; he doesn't hide his intentions of desire about the throne much," Scathach spoke in disinterest, she doesn't like political schemes, she prefers to solve everything by force, though she knows that not everything can be resolved that way, especially delicate situations involving the royal family.

As she knows she doesn't have the patience for this kind of political bullshit, she avoids getting too involved in politics. After all, she knows that at some point, she's going to get angry, and she's going to end up destroying another clan of noble vampires.

"I don't understand something," Victor spoke doubtfully.

"Hmm?" Scathach looked at Victor.

"Are hybrids so rare that they might attract my mother-in-law's curiosity?"

"..." Lacus and Pepper were somehow surprised that Victor could speak the word 'mother-in-law' so easily; it was as if he hadn't even insulted the woman a few moments ago.

"Yes. They are very rare, and there are a lot of stories about hybrids. Most of those stories are as bad as you've just heard, but some of those stories have been twisted to think that hybrid blood is something 'delicious'." Scathach nearly threw up.

"...You seem to have your own experience about it," Victor commented.

"In the past, I found a hybrid and drank its blood... That was one of the things I regret the most in this life; I felt like I was eating garbage. It's disgusting."

"…" Lacus, Ruby, and Pepper didn't know how to react to this new information, but one thing was going through the sisters' minds, why did their mother always reveal pieces of her past so easily when Victor asks something?

When her own daughters ask a question, she always avoids answering something...

"My mom was basically fooled by the hybrid stories. And, because she was bored, she didn't think twice about betting the vampire count title, and in the end, she lost..." Sasha got angry, and she started to speak:

"That dumb blonde! The dumb blonde stereotype must have been invented by her!"

"…" Victor didn't know how to react to Sasha's words; in the end, he just patted her head.

Seeing that Sasha started to become visibly calmer, he said:

"So my mother-in-law was tricked... What a surprise~" He rolled his eyes, then he felt a foreboding, "Why am I feeling this is going to become common in the future?"

"Everyone feels that when they hear about that woman." Sasha rolled her eyes.

"..." Victor was silent again.

"If Mom got the invitation, then was our clan invited to see the game?" Ruby decided to ask something she was curious about.

"Indeed. I wasn't planning on going at first, but the situation has changed~" She looked at Victor with a small smile on her face.

"Hmm?" Feeling her stare, he looked at Scathach confused.

"..." Seeing their mother's look, the sisters just visibly sighed. They could clearly understand that she accepted the invitation just for Victor to see how the game works... their mother's interest in Victor is reaching the point of no return.

She's even changing her habits just to give Victor more experience in the vampire world!

"When will the game take place?" Sasha asked.

"In 6 months," Siena replied in Scathach's place.

"Why so long?"

"Probably because Clan Horseman wants to prepare."

Siena takes the card that was on the table and throws it towards Sasha; before Sasha can take the card, Violet puts her hand in front of her and takes the card.

"..." Sasha looked at Violet with neutral eyes.

"...Humpf!" Violet snorted, then she opened the letter:

"Blah, Blah, political bullshit, Blah, Blah." She started to read.

"..." Everyone rolled their eyes, except Victor, who smiled kindly and patted Violet's head.

"Hehehe~" Violet displayed a satisfied smile.

"Oh? Are all Clans with the title Count invited? That Bitch is confident of winning, huh?"

"Well, it's my aunt, unlike my mom, she never lost a bet, because of that, she built a big noble clan practically in less than 500 years," Sasha said.

"Question…" Pepper held up her hand.

Feeling the stares of everyone in the room, Pepper asked cutely, "What are we going to do about Victor's powers...?"

Ruby opened her eyes a little, "Oh... You're right, sister. If they find out he's a vampire who has the three powers of the Count houses, trouble could ensue."

"So, are we going to seal his powers?" Lacus suggested.

"Hell no! If it's problems they want they will have them, I won't limit myself or hide my powers just because I'm afraid of problems."

"Hell no! if it's trouble they want, they're very welcome to look for trouble~."

Victor and Scathach spoke in unison as the two wore a predatory smile.

"…" Everyone was speechless when they heard their words; they spoke differently, but the essence was the same, do they want trouble? Then problems they will have! They even looked excited...

"..." Scathach and Victor looked at each other, Scathach was visibly a little shocked by what she just heard, but soon her smile just grew and grew.

"Oh Fuck..." Ruby, Siena, and Lacus realized it was too late to make Scathach lose interest in Victor.

Violet hugged Victor and looked at Scathach with possessive eyes, "What are you smiling at, old hag, shoo, shoo, he's mine!"

"Heh~, brat. You're looking forward to my punishment, huh." Scathach displayed her fist.

"Humpf, he's mine! Go find another man!" Violet didn't flinch, she hugged Victor tighter.

"..." Scathach's blood-red eyes increased in intensity for a few seconds but stopped as soon as Victor said something:

"Hahaha, my wife is so adorable" He pulled Violet and hugged her, then he started stroking her head.

"S-Stop, I'm serious!" Violet spoke in a serious tone, and Victor's smile only widened.

"Umu, I know" He kissed her cheek.

"..." Violet's face turned a little red, but she didn't deny Victor's advances.

"…I've decided something," Scathach suddenly spoke up.

"…" Everyone looked at the red-haired woman, then she flashes a small smile at the others.

"I will start training Victor from today~."
