Chapter 100: The Four Clans of Vampire Counts. 2
Scathach held up a finger, "First, he is not your son-in-law. He is MINE. Only mine."
"Huh...?" What nonsense is this woman talking about? Has she become senile? If that man is married to our daughters, he's our son-in-law too!
"…" Adonis and William will open their mouths in shock. Did this woman just get jealous?
In the eyes of the two men, Scathach's act of declaring her son-in-law as her own was clearly an act of jealousy.
"...He's a lucky man..." William's eyes sparkled for a few seconds when he realized that someone had managed to win Scathach's affections, and it wasn't just anyone, it was a man!
"…" Adonis didn't say anything, but inwardly, he agreed with William's words.
"Second, he's at my house now. That should be obvious." She spoke with a face of disdain.
"..." Natasha nodded and seemed to think for a few seconds, "I want permission to visit your territory."
"You want?" Scathach raised her eyebrow when she heard Natasha's tone of command, she didn't like it at all, and her eyes began to slowly change to blood red.
"Fuck." When Natasha realized what she said, it was too late.
Bloody pressure left Scathach's body.
"!!!" Natasha's whole body felt heavy, she felt difficulty breathing, a feeling of fear covered her body.
'H-Has she gotten stronger?' She clearly remembers that she wasn't so strong back then!
The same was happening with Agnes, who got caught in the crossfire, she couldn't move.
"You two seem to misunderstand something." Scathach's voice sent shivers down both women's spines.
Crack, Crack!
Her pressure was so intense that the walls, furniture, and everything around it started to break!
"I don't give a damn if my disciple is your 'son-in-law'. To me, you don't mean anything. I just came here because, even though I don't care about it, my disciple is married to your daughters, and mine."
Suddenly the pressure coming from her body disappeared.
"…." An uncomfortable silence descended over the place.
Scathach's eyes returned to normal, and another shock hit the room.
"Y-Your eyes…" Adonis stammered as he pointed at Scathach.
When everyone heard Adonis' voice, they also looked into Scathach's eyes, and only now did they notice that her eyes were no longer blood red like she was bloodthirsty!
"Hmm?" Scathach turns her face and looks at Adonis:
"Oh, you are here. I didn't notice."
"..." Adonis was speechless, but it wasn't because Scathach didn't realize his existence; that was normal for him. Instead, he was speechless because she managed to solve her bloodlust problem.
And if she managed to solve her problem, that means she found someone to replace the husband she killed...
He knows that Scathach's male standards were very high, and her standards are so unattainable that he doubts there is a man that one day could completely satisfy the requirements to be with the strongest female vampire.
"How did you solve your problem?" He was quite curious now.
Just who is this man she married?
"That is none of your business," Scathach said.
"…" He was speechless again. Wasn't she colder than usual? Why is her mood so bad today?
"Darling?" Agnes raised an eyebrow.
"Aren't you curious?" He looked at Agnes and totally ignored his wife's gaze.
"I am, but…." Agnes nodded, then added:
"It's none of our business."
"Hahaha, glad you understand~" Scathach flashed a cold smile.
"…" The group won't lie and say they weren't curious, but they don't want to provoke Scathach's ire for something 'small' like this.
As much as they are curious… Dying of curiosity.
Agnes and Natasha were a little shocked internally by something else too, without them noticing, Scathach got stronger again, it's been some time since the two women met with Scathach, and they clearly remember she wasn't as strong as she is now.
If their memory serves, the last time they spoke to Scathach was when Ruby was kidnapped in the past, and, at the time, Ruby was 3 years old, and currently Ruby is 21, which means...
This monster just got stronger in just 18 years!? This is impossible! The strength of an older vampire doesn't grow that fast! Something must have happened!
'Stopping to think, Violet also had a sudden increase in strength...' Agnes' eyes sparkled a little.
"Maybe it's my son-in-law's fault?" She unknowingly spoke aloud.
"…" Scathach's smile broke, and she looked coldly at Agnes.
Agnes felt uncomfortable when she saw Scathach's face, and she quickly changed the subject:
"Scathach, I ask your permission to visit your house. I want to see my daughter's new husband."
Scathach's eyes became more neutral, and then she said, "Okay, I give permission."
"Eh...?" Was it that easy!? And what was that whole show a few minutes ago!? Agnes was speechless.
Agnes thinks for a moment, and then she understands. 'Oh, it's been a few years, and I've already forgotten how to treat this woman...'
Scathach's temper was very different from what she remembered, she is calmer. Normally, she was very intense, and because of that, she forgot the basics of how to treat Scathach.
This is something all vampires should know when encountering Scathach; Be humble, or you'll get your ass kicked by her. Agnes had completely forgotten about that.
The same happened with Natasha.
Scathach, can I visit my daughter and her new husband?"
"..." Scathach looked at Natasha, "Yeah, of course, you can."
A smile threatened to break out of Natasha's neutral face, but she held back.
"But before that..."
"Luna!" Scathach's voice echoed through the mansion.
"Yeshhh," Suddenly, a white-haired Russian maid appeared.
"Were you Sleeping?"
"...I was not."
"Wipe your mouth first. You're drooling." Scathach rolled her eyes.
"!!!" Luna quickly wipes her mouth and looks to Scathach for any order from her.
"Deliver the contracts to these guests." She pointed to Agnes and Natasha.
"Yes!" Luna disappeared, and a few seconds later, she returned with several golden contracts in hand.
"And us?" the men asked.
Scathach just waves a hand for Luna to hand over the contract to them too.
Right after that, Scathach totally ignored the two men since, in her view, the two men weren't worth her time.
The white-haired man was only good for being handsome, and the other man had the same purpose as the first man, but unlike the first man who tries to be useful, the other is just a waste of air.
And to make her mood even worse, which is bad since she knows that today is Victor's date with Violet, the two men reek of talentlessness.
She spent so much time with Victor that she completely forgot that other men aren't like him.
"... What is it?"
"Hmm?" Coming out of her thoughts, Scathach looks at Agnes:
"Are you blind? Or are you illiterate?"
'...Okay, her mood isn't good today, just what happened to her mood, it's so…dark?' Agnes thought.
"Why this contract? I just want to see my daughter's husband." Natasha spoke.
"Tsk." Scathach clicked her tongue with visible annoyance.
"Listen. The contract is simple. You must sign and keep all the information you learn from my disciple to yourself, and if this contract is broken, I will know." Her eyes glittered dangerously.
"And I will pay you a visit~."
Agnes' eyes flashed in annoyance, "Scathach... Are you threatening me? Yes, you're strong, but you can't fight alone-" She was going to keep saying that Scathach couldn't fight alone with an entire Clan of Vampire Counts, but she couldn't continue her words…
"Agnes…" Scathach's voice came out in a demonic tone that left Agnes completely paralyzed.
"Don't make my mood worse. Or I promise you, the next words you say will be your death sentence."
"..." Everyone felt a chill rising in their spines, their bodies froze, they couldn't move, they swallowed their saliva, in front of her, they just looked like scared children.
Was she that angry? They could see that she was being very serious this time, and they knew that if they teased her any further, she would do what she promised.
'Master...' Luna felt her master go back to what she was before she met Victor.
Slowly, the pressure coming off of Scathach's body began to fade, and as she spoke, she clearly wasn't in the mood for more bullshit today:
"The contract is simple. Shut the fuck up about my disciple. I don't want to hear any leaked information about him. By doing that, you can see my son-in-law. It's simple, right?"
She is very overprotective! That's what everyone thought.
It is common knowledge that it is quite difficult to find information about the Clan of Scathach, and why? It's just that the woman herself is very overprotective with her daughters, she hides any kind of information about her daughters from the public, and the Ruby incident made her very paranoid.
And everyone in this room knows she only gives her daughters that kind of treatment! After all, they signed a similar contract when their Clan heirs began to bond with Ruby.
They also understand that Scathach would not allow her daughter to marry someone 'useless' or 'talentless'.
And when they remembered Victor's fight, they understood that he screamed potential.
The curiosity of the vampires present was once again piqued.
Just who is this man who managed to cause such a strong reaction in this crazy woman? They needed to know! They needed to meet this man!
"…" After a moment of silence, the group signed the contract since they were just too curious to step back now.
"Good." Scathach flashed a small, cold smile when she saw the group signing the contract.

...
Unaware that his in-laws and mothers-in-law are quite interested in him, Victor was sitting in a bathtub enjoying his shower, the way he came into the world, and was enjoying the hot bath while singing a song.
"HmmmHmmHmm" Of course, he didn't dare sing the song out loud since he wasn't confident that his singing voice was pleasant.
He might be a lot of things, a battle nut, a man who has a taste for women with pretty dubious personalities, a little clueless about things around him, but he wasn't a singer.
But for the curious who are wondering what song he is singing, the song is called; Imagine, by John Lennon.
Victor's tastes in music were quite eclectic. If he listens to the beat and thinks it's good, he'll like it. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand the music; he's a simple man. But, despite having eclectic tastes in music, the music he listened to most when he went to school was Rock.
"Master." He heard Kaguya's voice.
"Umu?" He looked at the maid who was in the bathroom with him, and, despite being in the bathroom, the maid was still dressed in a maid's uniform.
"What is Kaguya?"
"Master, you lack common sense." Kaguya got right to the point, she knows that in order to talk to Victor, she shouldn't waste time beating around the bush. She must be honest.
"What were you thinking about going to the bathroom with Pepper?" She knows he had no perverted intentions, which is something she likes a lot, but it's still inappropriate! Luckily, Siena managed to prevent a tragedy from happening. And Pepper is also very clueless! She didn't realize Victor was with her!?
"Oh, what about it?"
"…" Kaguya was speechless when she saw him treating it so casually. What if his wives find out!? Imagine the chaos that will ensue!
"Hahahaha~, don't look at me like that." Victor laughed amusedly.
"Master..." Kaguya started to speak, but Victor interrupted.
"To be honest." He started creating small ice structures in the bathtub, something he did when he was bored during Scathach training, and it also served as a way to train ice control.
"I wasn't thinking about anything."
"…" Of course, he wasn't thinking about anything… Kaguya felt like sighing again.
"I just do what I want, and at that point, I didn't think too deeply. I admit I was wrong, considering it could cause a problem with my wives, which is something I don't want."
"..." Kaguya nodded several times in agreement, she felt she was teaching her master common sense.
"I think I'm very used to Scathach..."
"Hmm?" Kaguya looked at Victor; 'Scathach again!? Just how much has this woman influenced you?'
"What does the master mean?" She decided to look deeper.
"Basically, I lived six months with Scathach, and in those months, we lived without worrying about anything.
"Huh?" Kaguya didn't understand.
Realizing he didn't explain very well, he elaborated, "What I mean is that we lived with only two thoughts in mind, training, and fighting. We didn't care about little things like; 'what will the other person think', or 'is this the right thing to do?'"
"Oh." Kaguya understood now. Basically, he lived simply for six months and ended up getting used to that reality; 'Probably, my master just trained until he was tired, then he rested, and went back to training. He didn't think of little things that could get in the way of his training.'
'And I think Scathach did it on purpose...' Could this be the secret of his sudden increase in strength? That's what she thought.
After all, Kaguya remembers that she never trained as intensely as Victor, she did a little combat training, but her main training was how to be a perfect maid.
"And for you, it may have been six months, but for me... I feel like it was a lot longer than that."
"Hmm?" Seeing her master's strange expression, she thought, 'Maybe because he was so focused on training, he felt like he spent too much time?'
Kaguya was curious, she wanted to know more about what happened during the six months. How did he get so strong? She clearly remembered that six months ago, he was much weaker than her:
"How was your training?"
"... My training?"
"Yes."
"Well... I was basically beaten to death several times, I was tortured, and whenever I did something wrong, Scathach pointed it out to me, and when she judged by her standards that I learned something, she taught me something else. ."
"…" Kaguya was speechless. Wasn't this basically a form of torture!?
"... And how did you get stronger?" That alone didn't explain the sudden increase in strength.
"Hmm? I do not know? I just did it. Oh, I got plenty of rest too, and when I was hungry, I drank Scathach's blood."
"..." An uncomfortable silence descended over the ridiculously huge bathroom.
Sigh...
Kaguya swore to herself that she would keep it a secret. After all, it's the duty to maid's hide her master's dirty secrets!
What she didn't know was that Victor didn't care if she was going to tell someone or not, considering it wasn't a secret or something.
Wait... Blood? Suddenly Kaguya noticed something. 'Can it be?' After all, she knows that Victor's blood is special, she even witnessed her former master Violet increasing her strength little by little when she drank his blood.
"Just out of curiosity, how many times have you taken Scathach's blood? And how many times has Scathach taken your blood?"
"Hmmmm," Victor crossed his arms and began to think deeply.
Somehow Kaguya was waiting to hear about this, she couldn't contain her curiosity.
After a few minutes of thinking, he said:
"I don't know?"
"...Ugh." She wanted to scream now! Is he serious!? What was that suspense? Despite wanting to scream, she avoided it since this was inappropriate behavior for a perfect maid
"But I remember this happened many times after I learned about my own power."
"Oh... So Master sucked Scathach's blood over and over again."
"Yes."
"She also sucked your blood over and over again."
"Yes."
"And while you sucked each other's blood, you hugged each other the way you came into the world, you licked each other's necks, you got turned on, and you indulged in each other's lusts."
"Yes...Wait!"
"..." Kaguya just looked at her master with a dry look.
If a look could kill, Victor would already be dead from the look of Kaguya.
Realizing he had fallen into Kaguya's trap, Victor exhibited a helpless little smile:
"I never thought I had such a perverted maid."
"Eh...?" Kaguya's face got a little embarrassed.
"But don't worry, my maid. I will keep this secret to myself."
"Ugh..." Kaguya somehow became more embarrassed, especially when she heard Victor say, 'My maid.' She quickly turned her face away and ignored her hateful master!
"Hahaha~" Victor laughed amusedly and said, "Just to fix something."
"The part of; 'You gave yourselves to each other's lusts' didn't happen."
Still embarrassed, she looked at her master, "But the other parts happened, right?"
"Well, I needed to help my mother-in-law, or I would suffer more than necessary..." Victor remembers that when Scathach cured her bloodlust, he didn't suffer as much in training as he did in the beginning, and he just had the members of his body cut-off, just that…
Hey, at least his guts were still in his body, sometimes…
"Hmm." Kaguya continued to stare at her master.
...
Coming out of the bath with only a towel covering his intimacy, Victor looked at Kaguya with a small smile on his face and lifted his arms:
"Do your magic."
"..." Kaguya displayed a small satisfied smile on her face.
Slowly, her body begins to be covered by darkness, and soon she passes through Victor's body, and in less than a few seconds, Victor was dressed in a black suit.
"Whistle."
"As expected of you." He displayed a satisfied smile, and he also noticed something very different from the other times. Now he could clearly see what Kaguya had done. 'I think this is proof that I've gotten stronger?' he thought jokingly.
"At your service, My Master." She bowed in a gesture of respect as she had a smile on her face.
"Come on, I have a date today."
"I don't think it's a good idea…." Kaguya said.
"Hmm?"
"Lady Violet won't like anyone else on her date. I should stay home."
"Oh, that's true." Victor nodded.
"Master, what happened to your wine red suit?"
"Oh, I have a lot of suits now. Most are black or red, or wine red."
"Did you buy these suits?"
"I didn't buy it, but, when I went back to my room, I saw these suits in the closet with a letter that said, 'It's a gift, stupid disciple.'"
"Scathach…" Kaguya felt like sighing now.
"Yes." Victor chuckled a little when he saw Kaguya's expression that showed she wanted to sigh at any moment. He was understanding his maid better now as time went on.
He looks at the small table and sees a pair of white gloves with a magic circle stamped on them, and takes the gloves and puts them on.
After putting on the gloves, he clenches his fists, and when he does, the red magic circle seems to glow blood red:
"Good." He nodded in satisfaction.
"..." Kaguya was silent at this demonstration, she was a little curious about these gloves, she knows it's a magic tool, but she doesn't know what the purpose is.
Victor turned and walked out of the bathroom, "Tell my wife I'm waiting for her in front of the mansion, my maid."
"Yes, master."
