Chapter 91: Wife time... And became famous.
One day after the events of the game between Clan Horseman and Clan Rider...
A pale-skinned woman with long white hair, wearing only a black nightgown, was sleeping in a King Size bed.
The bed was completely messed up, as if several people were sleeping in it.
The woman turns her body to the side and touches the bed as if looking for someone.
"Hmmm..." Violet slowly opens her eyes, "Darling...?"
"!!!" Realizing that Victor wasn't in bed, she quickly opened her eyes and sat up in bed.
The first thing she heard when she sat up in bed was:
[Countess Scathach Scarlett surprised everyone yesterday when she introduced her new disciple-.]
Suddenly the voice changed to that of a woman.
[What kind of connection does this man have with the three-]
"Tsk." She hears Ruby's annoyed voice, and soon the woman's voice is completely silenced.
"They're still talking about it..." Sasha spoke in a sleepy voice.
"They're going to talk about it for a long time... And it's only been a day," Ruby said.
"One day is a long time! They should have forgotten already! But…" Sasha knew she was asking the impossible. After all, vampires wouldn't forget so easily.
"Our husband caused chaos yesterday. The existence of a vampire who can use all three powers has shaken the entire vampire community... I think it's still not a good idea that he's demonstrated his capabilities." Sasha continued.
"It's not like he would listen to us." Ruby rolled her eyes.
"Indeed... He's surprisingly proud." Sasha grumbled a little.
"Well, he's a vampire," Ruby spoke.
"...Although his pride is only in matters involving fights." Sasha seemed to be thinking of something.
"That's true..." Ruby nodded.
Violet looks toward the two women. Ruby and Sasha were sitting on a spacious sofa, and, just like Violet, they were just wearing a nightgown.
Ruby was wearing a very comfortable and provocative red nightgown, while Sasha was wearing a white nightgown that looked quite noble and innocent.
The two women were watching TV, the news channel from the vampire world. Despite being called the news channel, the entire vampire community knew that these news channels were gossip channels.
As a society that has been around for a long time, they have several companies that provide entertainment for these bored vampires, and gossip channels are the most popular.
Everyone wants to know what the famous are doing, right? Although some find this type of channel a waste of time, at the end of the day, they will watch these channels if they are interested in a famous figure currently being discussed.
Because of this, gossip channels are quite popular in the vampire world.
After the fight that took place yesterday, the channels kept talking about Victor, Scathach's new disciple, and his possible connection to the three great clans of vampire counts.
The vampire world community was dying to know who this man was. They were hunting for any information about this man, but it proved quite difficult despite his efforts to get any information about him. Since anything related to Scathach was deeply hidden, and no one dared to provoke the wrath of that madwoman.
After all, they don't know if at any moment that woman is going to knock on their door and cause mass destruction.
Suddenly everyone hears the sound of a phone ringing.
"Tsk."
Violet heard Sasha's annoyed voice.
"Are they still calling?" Ruby asked.
"Yes. I don't want to answer and hear my mom's bullshit." Sasha was quite annoyed.
"I think she was surprised to find out about your relationship with Victor, especially since she wasn't informed, right?"
"It's not like she cares either, she only cares about her image... And probably, she's just curious like all vampires, considering, in that game, Victor was using our family's last names... "
"..." The two women were silent for a long time, their eyes opened completely, they seemed to have discovered something.
Sigh...
Ruby sighed, "My mom did it on purpose, right?"
"Yes..." Sasha nodded.
"I wonder what she's thinking." Sasha continued.
"She's probably just bored, and she's looking for some entertainment, and shaking up the whole vampire society seemed like something she'd like to do."
"Hmm…" Sasha started to think deeply.
"Where is my Darling?" Violet finally asked.
"He said he was going to visit his new 'friends'." Ruby spoke, she wasn't surprised to hear Violet's voice, she had already realized that the woman had already woken up.
"..." Violet was silent, she seemed to be thinking of something.
"Aren't you going to get ready?" Sasha asked.
"Huh?" Violet didn't understand.
"You forgot?" Ruby looked at Violet with a face of disbelief.
"...Hmm?" Violet puts her hand to her chin and starts to think, but in the end, she couldn't remember, she could only think about Victor's blood that she'd sucked last night.
"Today is that day." Sasha illuminated Violet knowingly.
"...Oh..."Are you okay? I thought you would be more excited." Sasha continued, finding Violet's reaction strange. Normally, she was supposed to be screaming around excited. Did she eat something bad?
"I'm excited!... But I also wanted to just stay in bed with my Darling~ and drink his blood...Maybe do this and that, hehehehe~" She lay back on the bed and grabbed the pillow, and began to laugh with a perverted smile.
She sniffed the pillow, "Ahhh~, Darling~."
"..." Ruby and Sasha rolled their eyes when they saw Violet's attitude, but...
"Actually...I think this is a good idea since we haven't had a lot of time with our husband these days." Ruby spoke after thinking about it a bit.
"Hmm. Soon we will be returning to the human world, our husband misses his family, and we can spend a lot of time with him." Sasha spoke.
"…That's true. It's been six months since Victor arrived in this world. Our husband's mother must be worried." Ruby nodded.
"I have some unfinished business in the human world too." Sasha's eyes gleamed with a dangerous glint.
"Don't do anything stupid."
"Indeed. Darling would be sad if you did something like that." Violet suddenly sat up in bed and looked at Sasha.
"I know. I will ask for your help when the time comes. You will help me, right?" Sasha smiled.
"..." Ruby and Violet were a little shocked when they heard Sasha's words, but soon they both flashed a small smile and spoke at the same time.
"Of course."
...
Victoria Rider mansion.
A man wearing an all-black suit was walking calmly through the corridors of Victoria's mansion.
Strangely, despite passing by several vampires, these vampires could not feel this man. The image of this man seemed to be blurry, and no one could feel his presence.
"Tic~, Toc~. I arrived Bitches!" Victor suddenly opens the door, he came to this place to visit his new friend! Who was his friend?
Tatsuya Rider, of course!
After the fight, Victor felt like fighting his new friends! And because of that, he went to visit!
"Oh?" Upon entering the room, the image of a blond man did not appear in his vision, and instead...
"..." Victoria looked at Victor with a neutral gaze, she was in the middle of changing clothes.
Pale skin, slim body, B-Cup breasts with little pink nipples, a small pert ass. Victoria's appearance was what you expected from a noblewoman.
Victor looks Victoria up and down, then he nods, "As expected, genes are an unfair thing sometimes."
"Heh~" A vein pops in Victoria's head, "I wonder what you mean by that..." Her eyes changed to blood red.
"I was comparing you to my wife Sasha," Victor was brutally honest as usual.
Victoria's eyes seemed to sharpen, "...By Sasha...Are you talking about my niece, Sasha Fulger?" She wouldn't let this information go unnoticed, and she wasn't a little girl either who would scream when a man saw her naked body...
As a woman of high status, she would usually order this man killed. Or, she would personally kill the man who saw her naked body without permission, but that is impossible to do with this man.
"Who else would it be?" Victor replied, and soon he lost interest in Victoria. He started walking around the room while looking around like he was looking for something, and his eyes seemed to be glowing a little red.
"..." Victoria nodded, she learned something new. 'So that's why he has the surname of Clan Fulger... Wait, what about the other clans!? Don't tell me he's married to members of the other clans? Scathach has confirmed that he is her son-in-law, so which daughter is he married to? Ruby? Lacus? Siena? Maybe it's Pepper? What about the Snow Clan?'
Her head was spinning too fast in an attempt to absorb the information she just learned, she even forgot to wear her clothes.
"Tatsuya~. Tatsuya~. Where are you~." Victor looked like a child who was looking for his childhood friend.
"..." Victoria was speechless when she saw Victor's reaction, she was actually doubting her appearance now. 'Why didn't he react to me? Am I not cute!?' That's what she thought.
As a woman, she was proud of her appearance and seeing someone so…insensitive. It bothered her a little. 'He is gay? But that's impossible… He's married… Hmmm'
Victoria couldn't accept the fact that she didn't attract a man's attention; it hurt her pride a little.
What she didn't know was that Victor has no interest in women who don't have the 'quality' he likes best, and he was also too loyal to his wives to try to look out for other women.
Victor's eyes suddenly stop in front of a wall. "I found you~" Victor's smile grew unnaturally.
Victor gently touched the wall and, soon, the magic circles on his glove began to glow.
'These symbols....' As a woman who had always had hired witches around, she knew a little bit of magic, and it took only a glance to understand the incantation; 'Restriction?'
Victoria's face darkened a little when she realized that Victor was holding back in the fight with Tatsuya and Einer.
Suddenly Victor's image began to distort, and soon he was through the wall.
"!!!" Once again, Victoria was surprised; 'Monster...' That was the only thing that crossed her mind, since she knows how difficult it is to do what Victor just did, and he did it so naturally like it was too easy.
Chapter 92: Tatsuya Gained a Friend...
Tatsuya's Personal Room.
A man with long blond hair was lying on a bed, and beside this man was a woman, specifically speaking, a witch.
The woman had short brown hair that came to the shoulder and green eyes, she was wearing a white outfit with violet accents and a witch hat on her head.
The man and woman were looking at a tall man who was standing in front of them with a big, dangerous smile on his face.
"So, are we going to fight?"
"I'm in recovery," Tatsuya spoke in a cold voice.
"Hahaha!" Victor laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "Who do you want to kid? You are a vampire. You are already recovered! Let's fight!"
Seeing Victor's crazy eyes, "...Ugh," Tatsuya moaned in frustration. He was wondering what he did with his life to draw this madman's attention to him.
"Let's go! Let's go!"
"…Can I at least eat? I just woke up, and I'm hungry."
"...Hmmm." Victor puts a hand to his chin as if he's thinking about something very important.
"Hahaa~" Hecate chuckled gently as she covered her mouth.
"What?" Tatsuya looked at the woman.
"Nothing. It's just funny to see someone generally cold have so much trouble with someone."
"…" Tatsuya didn't know how to react to Hecate's words. In the end, he just sighed.
"Okay. You can eat, but after that, we'll fight!" Victor thought hard about his decision, and after very extensive consideration, he let Tatsuya eat. After all, he couldn't fight properly with hunger, and if he couldn't fight properly, Victor wouldn't have fun!
"Thanks?" Tatsuya felt strange hearing Victor give him permission.
...
In a ridiculously large room, Victor, Tatsuya, Victoria, and Hecate were present.
Victor was sitting on an ice throne with a small smile on his face.
Tatsuya was sitting in a chair some distance away, drinking a red liquid from a wine glass.
"..." He was feeling uncomfortable with Victor's gaze. Couldn't he eat in peace?
Hecate was beside Victor looking at the symbols on his glove, she had a curious look on her face. Victor didn't mind the witch since, according to Scathach, his glove spell is a pretty simple thing to do, so he wasn't worried.
"I'm sorry, Lady Victoria!" Several vampires were kneeling towards Victoria, who was sitting on a couch.
Victoria had an annoyed look on her face, she paid dearly to keep her house safe, and a random vampire managed to break into her home and enter her room without anyone knowing!
Bunch of useless! I will lower their wages!
She was more irritated with Victor! He just casually walked into her house like he owned the place, saw her the way she came into the world, and then completely ignored her! Hateful man!
"Whatever... Just don't repeat it-." Victoria would continue to lecture her subordinates, but suddenly she heard Victor's voice.
"Your subordinates are useless."
"Huh?" The subordinates were surprised by Victor's sudden voice.
"What are you saying, Kid!?"
"We are not useless!"
"HaHaHa~" Victor smiled dangerously, his eyes glowed blood red, and then he raised his hand in a silent gesture, "Shhh."
"...!?" Victoria's subordinates' bodies trembled, and suddenly, they couldn't speak.
"... That is..." Victoria immediately understood what Victor had done, 'But this should be impossible! Just who is this man!?' She was getting tired mentally.
"Continuing~." Victor looked at Victoria, "Your subordinates are useless. I could easily get past your defenses, and I didn't even have to work very hard."
"That's because you're abnormal, a normal vampire—" Hecate tried to defend Victoria's minions, but she stopped talking because she was surprised by Victor's attitude.
"Hello~" Victor ignored Hecate and waved to the ceiling.
"..." The vampires on the ceiling broke out in a cold sweat when they saw Victor's gaze.
Tatsuya's eyes turned cold, and he quickly rose from his chair.
"You have a lot of admirers." Victor chuckled playfully, "Well, you're beautiful, so I think that's normal? Hahaha~"
"Hecate!" Victoria ignored Victor and quickly gave the witch the command.
"Yes." Hecate raises her hands, and soon several magic circles begin to appear around the mansion.
"Oh?" Victor's eyes sparkled with curiosity.
The shadows that were in the mansion quickly began to flee when they realized they had been compromised by Victor.But some were not so lucky, as the walls of Victoria's mansion began to move as if alive.
"Tsk. Some fled." Hecate did her best to capture everyone, but she wasn't a fighting witch.
"..." Sensing the enemies' speed, Tatsuya understood that he couldn't catch them all alone, so he looked at Victor:
"...Hey, my friend." Tatsuya felt awkward saying the word 'friend'.
"Hmm?" Victor looked at Tatsuya with a curious look.
"Help me deal with these bugs..." Tatsuya felt that he would regret his following words, "And I will fight you as long as necessary."
"Heh~" Victor's smile grew disproportionately, his image started to get distorted, a frightening pressure started to leave his body.
"Don't forget what you said, my friend~."
"..." Tatsuya was already regretting what he said and felt he said some cursed words...
'But it's alright.' Tatsuya was quite annoyed with himself, he couldn't see that his mother was being watched, he didn't win an important game for his mother, and to make his mood even worse, he completely lost against Victor! This weakness irritated him! He had never felt so angry with himself!
"Let's go?" Tatsuya's body was covered by lightning.
"Just sit still, my friend. And enjoy the show~."
"Huh...?"
The magic circles on Victor's gloves began to glow brightly blood red, and as he sat on his ice throne, he snapped his fingers.
"Cocoon." He muttered under his breath.
Fuuushhhhhhh
Cold air began to leave his body and spread throughout the mansion.
And with supernatural speed, a cocoon of ice began to be created around the entire mansion of Victoria.
"This... This is just bullshit." Victoria couldn't help but comment when she looked out the window and saw only pure ice.
Her mansion's land covered over 500 meters! It's a considerable distance! And he covered it all!?
"... You've learned?" Tatsuya remembers this technique; it was the technique Einer used.
"It's a pretty simple technique," Victor spoke honestly. The technique was simple, and the only prerequisite you needed to use this technique was to have extremely precise control of your power.
"Victoria Rider."
"..." Victoria looked at Victor, and seeing the bloodthirsty smile on his face, she felt a shiver down her spine, she felt a bit of fear... Her only current thought was, what will this monster become in the future?
But as an experienced trader, she did her best not to show those emotions on her face:
"What?"
"Live, or Dead?" Victor asked a simple question.
And Victoria immediately understood what he was talking about.
"Live."
"Okay."
Victor lightly touches the ice throne with his finger.
"..." Victoria expected something to happen, but she felt nothing.
Suddenly, she started to hear the noise of rain.
"...?" She walks towards the window and is faced with a sight that shocks her very much.
All the surroundings of her mansion turned into a desert of pure ice, and she immediately understood what was causing it:
"The rain..."
Raindrops when they touched something, that something was immediately frozen and turned into ice structures.
Victoria looked at Victor with a disbelieving look, "Did you do this?"
"Hmm? Yeah, you wanted them alive, right? The quickest way to do this is to freeze everything, and since they are vampires, they won't die from the cold."
She felt stupid for asking that question since it was obvious he was the one who did it. If it wasn't him, who would it be? But the sight in front of her only made her brain stop working for a few seconds.
Honestly, this extremely precise control of his power was scary, and to make her fear even worse, he didn't even look tired!
"..." Tatsuya was feeling strange now. He didn't even have to do anything...
Victor's eyes glowed blood red while he looked towards a wall, then he said, "Done."
"Done?" Hecate didn't understand.
"Yes. They all turned into ice sculptures~" Victor flashed an innocent smile that sent shivers down Hecate's spine.
"Oh…" She can only say that.
Victor looked at Victoria's subordinates and ordered in a cold tone, "Go do your job."
"!!!" The subordinates quickly waved as if they were part of the army.
"Yes, Sir!"
"..." Victoria had never seen her subordinates so scared in her life.
Sigh...
She was feeling tired, so she sat down on the couch again and looked at Victor, who had another small smile on his face; 'He's my niece's husband, huh?' Then, suddenly, she realized something.
She just realized they're related. Maybe that's a good thing? After all, having a strong relative is always welcome, and he doesn't seem to be prejudiced against her like the rest of her family, although that could change in the future if he discovers her secret.
But... She felt that Victor wouldn't mind. He didn't seem like a man who cared about little things.
Sigh...
She sighed again, she just wanted to lie down on the bed and not think about anything right now, she had so many things to do! Especially now that she found out her mansion was compromised. But for some reason, she didn't want to do anything today.
"Mother, are you alright?" Tatsuya asked worriedly.
"Yes, I'm just a little tired."
"...I can understand you."
"..." The two looked at Victor, who was sitting on the ice throne.
Noticing the look of the two, Victor looked at them, "What?"
"Nothing," The two spoke.Chapter 93: Tatsuya Gained a Friend… 2
A few hours later, in the Garden of Victoria's mansion.
After the previous events, Victoria went off somewhere with Hecate and her new prisoners. Apparently, they were going to solve a little problem that Victor didn't bother to hear.
Victor had no interest in these men or the subject of Victoria. He only helped the woman because Tatsuya said he would fight him.
Kaguya, who practically stayed 24 hours, seven days a week in Victor's shadow, was watching her master and the man called Tatsuya fighting.
Normally, she and Yuki were supposed to be accompanying Victor wherever he went, but Yuki lost this time because she overslept, and Kaguya didn't bother to wake up the lazy maid.
As a professional maid, it is the maid's duty to wake up before the master.
If Yuki can't even meet this minimum requirement, she's not qualified to be a personal maid.
"Wrong, wrong! You are using the power wrong!" Victor looked quite frustrated as he approached Tatsuya and pointed his finger at him.
"Huh?"
"Your way of using power is very direct. You look like a horse that only knows how to run forward! Use it more flexibly!"
"Huuuh!?" A vein popped in Tatsuya's head, "I'm not a horse!"
"Then fight correctly!"
"Fine!"
The two walked away again and positioned themselves a little apart from each other.
The two look at each other, and in the blink of an eye, they're gone!
Beng!
The sounds of blade colliding were heard.
Although the only one using a blade is Tatsuya. Victor is using his hand as a blade of ice.
An intense exchange takes place, and neither of the two seems to be backing down.
"The pace my master improves is absurd..." Kaguya couldn't help but be amazed. With just one look, Victor already had the power of a 500 year old vampire; this is proved by the previous display of control.
But the scariest thing is, "He gets better faster when he's having fun."
Victor doesn't seem to realize this fact.
"This man too..." Tatsuya was similar to Victor.
"Although his pace is slower compared to my master, he is also not left behind."
With just a few simple changes, Tatsuya was improving a lot too. 'I think reality hit him hard.' Kaguya thought.
The reality that he wasn't strong, and the reality of enemies watching his mother and he can't perceive those enemies, made him furious! And he's using that fury to get better.
Booooom! Booooom! Booooom!
Small explosions happen when the two collide; both were using pure martial arts.
Tatsuya used his Katana.
And Victor used his fists, and on some occasions, he used the greatsword.
At some point, while they were fighting, they started fighting in the air using only lightning.
"HAHAHAHAHA! THAT'S IT! THAT'S IT!" Victor looked like he was enjoying himself.
Seeing the smile on Victor's face, Tatsuya couldn't help but flash a small smile on his face. He was getting excited too!
"The shit..." Kaguya realized that Victor's personality was transmissible like a virus.
The two collide for the last time and fall to the ground at a distance from each other.
Victor points his finger at Tatsuya.
Rumble, Rumble!
The lightning around Victor seemed to have thickened.
And with a huge smile on his face, he said, "Don't die, my friend. Or I will descend all seven hells and pull you back to this world."
"!!!" Tatsuya felt a shiver down his spine when he saw Victor's gaze and quickly realized that something big was coming.
He assumed an Iaijutsu stance, as his eyes seemed to glow golden for a few seconds.
Rumble, Rumble!
And just like Victor, the lightning around him seemed to have gotten stronger too.
Crack, Crack!
The earth around them seemed to be being shattered by their concentration of power.
"They're overreacting..." Kaguya couldn't help but mutter.
Suddenly, a burst of pure energy left Victor's finger and flew towards Tatsuya.
Seeing the tremendous energy coming towards him, Tatsuya wasn't afraid, "I'll cut this." It was like he was making a promise to himself.
His lightning seemed to be focused on his Katana, and the whole Katana seemed to be bathed in pure lightning.
When Victor's attack was inches from colliding with Tatsuya's body, he made a move!
Cut!
With an Iaijutsu move, Tatsuya cuts Victor's power in half!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Losing its initial strength, the power failed to maintain its form and exploded, but the radius of the explosion was so large that it made a small crater in Victoria's garden.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Victor was laughing his ass off as he watched the explosion with satisfied eyes.
"Master... Please don't take up the hobby of blowing things up." Kaguya couldn't help saying it in a low voice when she saw the expression Victor was making.
Hecate and Victoria, who had returned from her business, suddenly appeared in the garden:
"What was that noise-... Tatsuya!?" She quickly ran beside her son, who was lying on the floor.
"Are you okay!?"
"Y-Yes..."
"Hey, Hey! Let's continue-... Oh?" Victor appears beside Tatsuya.
"Tsk, you're tired already..." Victor was about to complain, but when he saw the satisfied smile on Tatsuya's face, he said:
"Oh…? I know that smile." He displayed a small smile as if he understood something.
"What are you talking about?" Tatsuya pretends to be innocent.
"HAHAHAHA! If you don't want to talk, that's fine! It's more fun this way~."
"Master... You overreacted again." Kaguya suddenly appeared at Victor's side while looking at him with a stoic look, she seemed to be silently accusing him of a crime.
"Huh?" Victor didn't understand.
"Look around," Kaguya spoke.
Victor looked around, "Oh..."
The old garden that looked like an ice desert was now completely destroyed and had several craters scattered throughout the garden.
"Well, I think it's okay? After all, Victoria has this witch." Victor pointed to Hecate.
"I'm not a landscaping expert," Hecate spoke dryly.
"And fixing this is going to cost me a lot of money." Victoria continued, "Can you get up?" She asked Tatsuya.
"Soon, give me a few seconds." Tatsuya was very worn out.Tsk, you have to work on your stamina! How are you going to satisfy a woman like that!?"
"…" Tatsuya, Victoria, and Hecate stared at Victor with an expressionless look.
"Master... This is inappropriate."
"But is it not true?" Victor remembers that Scathach always talked about it in his training, something like endurance being very important.
"Well... Vampire women are... thirsty..." Kaguya didn't say much.
"Lady Victoria should have more experience with this." She continued.
Hecate, Kaguya, and Victor looked at Victoria.
"H-Huh?" Victoria was taken aback that the focus of the conversation shifted to her at some point.
"Well..." Victoria remembered that she had nearly dried her husband out several times when he was alive, and, even though he was a vampire, he had nearly died.
"See?" Victor smiled. He didn't need Victoria's confirmation since her own silence was a confirmation.
"…" Victoria was wondering if she was that easy to be influenced… Of course, she isn't! Usually, she sets the pace for the conversation! It's all this man's fault! She started freaking out again inside.
"Can we change the subject?" Tatsuya didn't want to hear about these things, especially when his mother was around.
Feeling his body was better, he stood up.
"Oh?" Victor's eyes sparkled for a moment, but when he looked closer, he realized that Tatsuya was still tired.
Realizing that he couldn't have fun again, he said:
"Tsk... There's no way. I'm going to visit my other 'friend'."
"Send my condolences to him," Tatsuya spoke with a happy smile. He was happy that someone would suffer the same thing as him, although he was grateful to Victor since, if not for Victor, he wouldn't have taken a step to improve, but that's something he will never say out loud.
So much for pride and so much not to provoke this crazy man! Imagine what he will do if he knows I've improved! I will not have peace in this life!
"Okay. I will."
"Come on, Kaguya."
"Yes, master." Kaguya entered Victor's shadow.
"Oh." Victor remembered something as he quickly turned around and looked at Victoria, "Go visit your niece, ungrateful woman. Even though you left your clan for a reason, I don't care. Sasha has nothing to do with it ."
"...I Will." Victoria, for some reason, didn't mind Victor's rude way of talking to her anymore, she didn't even get angry anymore either.
"Good." Victor displayed a gentle smile, very different from the smile he always had. It was a smile he only showed his wives.
"…" That smile somehow felt warm in the hearts of Hecate and Victoria.
Rumble, Rumble!
Victor's body was covered by lightning.
Victor exhibited his characteristic smile and said, "I'll see you in the near future. Seeya~."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Like a rocket soaring into the sky, Victor flew skyward at a speed that would be the envy of any user of Clan Fulger's lightning power.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
When he reached a considerable height, everyone could hear a sonic boom, and soon all they could see was a golden trail flying across the sky.
"..." The three were speechless when they saw the lightning being used in this way, especially Victoria. Not even her sister could do what he did without consequences! And it looks like he could do that at any time.
"...He sure is intense… But, somehow, I understand why your niece liked him." Hecate commented, her face a little red.
"...Yes." Unconsciously, Victoria agreed.
"Mother!?" Tatsuya stared at his mother like a hawk.
"I mean… He's young, he's handsome, he's strong, and he has a personality that's attractive to female vampires. So it makes sense that my niece likes him."
"…" Tatsuya didn't know how it felt to hear his mother praising his 'enemy' so openly.
Getting her son's look wrong, she said, "Don't worry, son! Even though you're almost 100 years old, you're still a baby! One day you will have a wife too."
"…" Somehow, Tatsuya received critical damage when he heard his mother's words.
Chapter 94: Is Ophis a spoiled girl?
After flying a few kilometers away, Victor finally arrived in Eastern territory, which was owned by Clan Horseman.
Why didn't he go to Clan Horseman's personal mansion in the royal capital? Well, he went to the mansion, but the mansion was empty, so he deduced that his 'friend' had returned to his territory.
"I think it's here." Victor was on top of a building.
[It's here, Master.]
"Hmm... Is this place cooler? What is happening?" Victor felt the temperature of the place, the sudden change in temperature made him a little curious. After all, the North, which is the territory of Scathach and the royal capital, was colder than here.
[The territory of the East, formerly belonging to Clan Fulger, is a milder territory that always seems to be in autumn.]
"Oh, is this territory where there are those groups of monkeys that can be tamed?"
[Yes... How do you know about this?]
"Elizabeth told me when we were visiting the capital."
[Heh...? When did you get so close to the princess?]
"I'm not close to her, she just accompanied me on my visit to the capital because Ophis didn't want to leave with her."
[Oh...] Kaguya understood now, suddenly starting to remember Ophis's expression a day ago, she looked like she didn't want to part with Victor.
...
Flashback.
When Victor was declared the winner of the game, he returned to the VIP room, and a small situation was happening:
"Ophis, we need to get back," Elizabeth spoke.
"No." Ophis denied it.
"Ophis…" Elizabeth narrowed her eyes on her sister. This was no time to be spoiled!
"Nooo!" Ophis ran towards Victor and climbed on his shoulder.
"Hahaha," Victor laughed gently as he held Ophis with his arm and patted the little girl's head.
"Father~" Victor displayed a small satisfied smile.
"Girl, listen to your big sister, and go home~." Violet had a smile on her face, she's obviously happy, and she wasn't even trying to hide it.
"...Yes, it's time for the child to sleep." Sasha surprisingly supported Violet.
"Girls…" Ruby was speechless.
"What? Will you say that you like to see her close to our husband?" Sasha's eyes weren't pretty.
"…" Ruby was silent, she knew Sasha was correct.
"Do something!" Elizabeth looked at Victor with accusing eyes.
Seeing Violet's gaze, Victor looked around and even looked behind himself to see if he could find someone. Since he wasn't sure if she was talking to him, he then pointed to himself:
"...Me?" He had an innocent smile on his face.
"Who else!?" Elizabeth was about to freak out.
"Hmm," Victor thought for a bit. To be honest, he didn't want to do anything, considering it's not like he hated Ophis' presence. But probably, as a princess, she must have things to do, right?
"Father?"
He looked at Ophis, and seeing Ophis' cute face, he said, "Go home, you can always visit me whenever you want, you know where I live, right?"
"Huh?" Violet, Sasha, and Ruby didn't expect to hear those words.
"Mm…" Ophis nodded.
"When you feel like it, just come visit me, but for now, listen to big sister, okay?"
"..." Ophis makes a hard face as if she wants to deny it, but when she sees Victor's gentle smile, she relents, "Okay... Father."
"…" Was it that easy!? Why does she just listen to you!? He's not even her real father! Elizabeth was freaking out internally!
Victor puts Ophis down, and the little girl looks at her sister, "Returning."
"Wai-"
Suddenly a dark power covers Ophis' body, and she disappears.
"Fuck! She always does that!"
"Hey, that's not a princess' vocabulary." Victor chuckled.
"Fuck you! This is your fault!"
"HaHaHaHa!" Victor just laughed and didn't care.
"This bitch…" When Violet was going to do something, she was held up by Ruby.
"Don't do anything. She's finally leaving, and if you try to look for trouble now, she'll stay here longer."
"Oh." This was not something Violet wanted.
"Humpf!" Elizabeth turned her face and walked towards the exit of the VIP room, she looked at the royal guards, "Come on, do your job this time!"
"Yes, princess!"
"Her noble image was completely destroyed," Pepper commented.
"That happens a lot when someone is dealing with Victor," Eleanor spoke.
"Own experience, huh?" Lacus exhibited a small smile...
"Yes." Eleonor did not deny it.
...
Seeing Victor's interested smile through the shadow, she said, [You're not going to tame those monkeys, are you?]
"I wanted to…But I don't have time today. Maybe in the future." Victor spoke, then he looked towards a ridiculously large mansion and jumped towards it.
In midair, Victor's image started to get distorted, and he suddenly turned into a swarm of bats.
The swarm of bats flew towards the mansion, past the mansion's defenses, and soon he was standing in the middle of the garden. Unlike the time with Victoria, this time, someone could feel Victor's presence.
"Intruder."
Victor looked at the man, and seeing that he looked like a grown man, he asked,
"Who are you?"
"Who are you, intruder?"
"Victor Walker."
"Who are you?" Victor asked again.
"…James. What are you doing here?" The man seemed to know Victor's name.
"Visiting my friend~" He spoke with a small smile on his face.
The butler nodded.
"Second floor. When you go up the stairs, he'll be at the tenth door on the left." James turned and walked towards somewhere, and soon the image of him disappeared.
"Thanks,~." Victor turned and walked, but before he went to the indicated place, he used his powers. However, for some reason, he couldn't see anything.
He stopped walking, 'What is this? This is the first time this has happened...' He felt strange, considering his visual power never failed him.
But he didn't think much about it. After all, he knows that with the existence of magic, a lot can be done. So he just kept on alert.
...
James was walking back to his work, but suddenly he stopped walking and said, "Oh, I gave the wrong instructions, that was Lady Jessica's room..."
When he thought he should go back and warn Victor about it, he got lazy, "Whatever." He ignored the whole situation and pretended he didn't know anything.At the door of a very feminine room, Victor was standing looking at the sight in front of him:
"I wonder why this keeps happening to me." He was really wondering about it. It's not like he was purposely going into the women's rooms; he wasn't a pervert! And he was married!
In front of Victor was Jessica, just like she came into the world, and she looked like she had just woken up.
[Master is unlucky, and at the same time, lucky?]
"Perhaps."
"Wh... what-." Jessica's face was pure red.
"Oh, her reaction is different. She froze."
[Well, she is younger than Lady Victoria.]
"Make sense."
Victor looked Jessica up and down. The girl was short, 168 cm tall, thin, and pale skin like all vampires, B-Cup breasts, and long, slightly curly black hair and dark blue eyes.
"So, who are you?" Victor asked.
"Jessica Horseman..." Unconsciously, she replied, but soon an anger rose inside her heart, she took a blanket and hid her nudity, and when she went to ask Victor to leave, she heard:
"Oh, you're Einer's sister... Tell me, where is he?"
Isn't this man too insensitive!? He saw her nudity and didn't react at all!? Was she ugly!?
"Hello, hello? Woman, are you in this world?" Victor walked over to Jessica and waved his hand in front of her face.
"E-Eh?" Jessica was surprised, but for several reasons now that she couldn't describe!
"Oh, you came back to life. Now tell me. Where is he? I asked your butler, and he said it was here."
"…" Jessica's eyes narrowed; 'Was it James' fault!? I will reduce his salary!'
[Master... Why don't you use your power? Isn't it easier?]
"I tried, but something seems to be blocking my view."
[Enchantments, perhaps?]
"I don't know, but this is the first time it's happened, and since this is a count's mansion, security should here be tighter, right?"
[Or they are hiding something.]
"Make sense." Victor thought it was quite possible, he tried to use his power again, and as expected, he couldn't see anything, he just saw the red world, and in this world, there were several walls as if they wanted to keep him from seeing something.
"Why are you talking to yourself?"
"Oh, don't mind, I like to think out loud." Victor smiled.
"…" Jessica was silent.
"Then? Where is Einer?"
"He is in a coma." She spoke in a cold tone without any sympathy.
"Oh?" Victor was interested.
"After the game, he was in a coma from using his power too much and is recovering."
"Hmm." Victor puts a hand to his chin, as he seems to be considering something; 'That butler, doesn't he know his master is in a coma? or is he the elder brother's butler?'
'Lots of questions~' Although Victor is in doubt, he doesn't care much. After all, he knows that the vampire clan is quite complicated.
Looking at Jessica's face, he smiled a little.
"Well, I believe you."
"Heh?"
"What is this shocked face?" He asked.
"Nothing... Just..."
"???" Victor didn't understand, and the woman didn't continue talking either.
"Just what?"
"Nothing."
"..." For some reason, Victor felt like he was talking to Ophis now.
Though Ophis was cuter than she was.
[What now, master?]
"I will go after the monkeys."
[You hadn't given up!?]
"Yes, but I haven't had my fun, and I still have time... So why not?" Victor smiled.
[Sigh…]
"Monkey?"
"Hmm? Yeah, do you know where they are?"
"Are you talking about the big apes that eat black bananas?"
"Yes, that one." Victor's eyes gleamed with interest.
"Their habitat is further east, in a dense forest. You can find them there."
"Heh~, thank you for the info."
"…" Jessica flashed a small smile when she heard Victor's words 'thank you'.
"Well, nice to meet you, Jessica. I'm going now." Victor turned and walked towards the exit.
Seeing Victor's back walking away, she said, "Do you know where the exact location is?"
"I do not know." Victor smiled.
Jessica was speechless. Is he just very adventurous? How do you go to a place you don't know?
"But I have someone with me who knows."
[Indeed. Lady Sasha visited that place in the past with Lady Violet, I know the way.]
"As expected of you."
[...] Kaguya's shadow seemed to smile.
Jessica understood that someone was accompanying him:
"Oh. Take care, I think?"
"Thanks." Victor casually walked out of Jessica's room.
As the door closed, Jessica suddenly remembered something, "He saw me... He saw me!" She had completely forgotten about it, she was caught up in his rhythm!
"AHHHHHH! I can't get married anymore!"
