"... I guess so?" Scathach thought it made sense, considering it's not like she slept with Victor, right?
"...I'm jealous..." Bruna whispered in a low voice, with her eyes glowing a little blood red.
Crack, crack, crack! BOOOOOOM!
Something completely broke, and that something was Anna's patience.
Anna lifted her face, which was full of popping veins, as she took a deep breath, and shouted in a voice that could rival Scathach:
"VICTOR, GET IN HERE NOW!"
"Ugh." Bruna, Roberta, and Natashia put their hands to their ears
"Oh?" Scathach flashed a small smile when she saw Anna's face.
...
"VICTOR, GET IN HERE NOW!"
"Shit, she's pissed off." Victor spoke with a neutral expression.
"Well... That's understandable. After all, Master keeps picking up women like he's collecting pokemon."
"...I'm not collecting women like a pokemon..."
"..." Kaguya looked at Victor with a look that said, are you serious?
"Master, think with me for a minute."
"Hmm?"
"In less than a week, you've brought Eve, Bruna, and Roberta home with you. And all these aforementioned women are subjectively beautiful in their own right.
"Eve is my Maid and a member of my clan." Which also meant that she was the sole heir to 'Clan Alucard.'
"Bruna is my Maid too." Unlike Eve, Victor still hadn't given her his Clan last name, so she was just a Maid he turned, having lower status than Eve.
"Roberta is someone I picked up to fight against in the future." Victor spoke after hearing what Kaguya said.
Kaguya ignored what Victor said and continued:
"And not to mention Sasha's mother, your mother-in-law, was sleeping in your bed the way she came into the world."
"That's because she wanted to sleep with Sasha."
A small vein popped in Kaguya's head, "No normal woman would sleep naked in a bed where the husband of her daughter was sleeping! Not to mention his other wife, namely Ruby's mother, was also there, his other mother-in-law!"
"...Oh."
"..." Kaguya facepalmed when she saw Victor's expression.
"But I did this stuff with Scathach when I was in Nightingale, so it's fine... And Scathach is..." Victor flashed a gentle little smile before continuing:
"Special."
"..." Eve and Kaguya were silent as they saw the atmosphere of Victor.
"I see..." Kaguya seemed to understand something, and she said:
"You need to become stronger if you want that to happen, Master."
"I know." Victor had a faint smile.
"… Master, did you forgive Natashia?" Kaguya was curious about this as well. From what she understood of Victor's personality, he was not a man who forgave easily.
Victor's face turned cold as ice, and he spoke:
"Of course not." And then he turned around, and as he walked towards the exit of the room, he said:
"She needs to become a good woman, a good Clan leader, a good mother, and she needs to get back everything she's lost. She needs to give Sasha everything she hasn't given in my wife's 21 years of life." Victor thought for a moment about the sight of Natashia hugging his wife.
"Until that day comes... I will be watching her."
Victor took the handle and opened the door.
'The tears that Sasha shed will not be in vain.' Victor thought with completely lifeless eyes.
"As expected... Master is a strict man." Kaguya laughed lightly when she saw Victor leaving the room.
"A tough, strong man... Strong and big..." Eve seemed to be falling into her thoughts again.
Kaguya's eyes glowed blood red for a moment and then:
Slap!
"Ouch!" Eve held her head again.
"Stop thinking about it!"
"How do you know what I was thinking!?"
"It's pretty obvious with that perverted smile!"
"Eh?"
...
In a room far away from the group, a woman and a tall man were staring at each other. They were looking into each other's eyes as if trying to understand each other's intentions.
And strangely, this woman and this man looked a lot alike.
"My Son." She said while glaring at him, before continuing,
"Spit it out, just how many daughters-in-law will I have?"
"..." Victor flashed a small smile. He really liked it when his mother didn't beat around the bush and would get straight to the point.
After Victor went to the place where his mother was, Anna took her son by the wrist and dragged him to a secluded room, and this situation started to happen.
"Wrong question, Mother." Victor turned and sat on the sofa in the bedroom.
"Hmm..." Anna thought about what she said, and soon she understood:
"Just how many women do you have feelings for?"
"That's a good question." Victor's face turned a little sentimental, and he said:
"Currently, I only love five women in my life."
"F-F-Five..." For some reason, she found it difficult to say the word 'five.'
"I need to sit down for a while." She sat on the bed, calmed her thoughts, and asked:
"So, who are they?"
"Violet, my little ice flower."
"Umu, understandable." Violet was a good girl.
"Sasha, my little piece of recklessness and cuteness."
"Umu, she's really cute sometimes."
"Ruby, the smartest woman I've ever met, and the one who hides her feelings the most."
"Indeed, Indeed. She needs to talk more about herself." Anna nodded.
"Scathach, the woman who taught me many things, and most of all, taught me how to fight."
"Yes, Yes. She's... Wait, what." Anna looked at Victor with a look of disbelief. She had had her suspicions, but now that her son confirmed it, she was just in pure disbelief.
'Does he really want an Oyakodon?'
"Although for Scathach to accept me, I still have a long way to go." Victor laughed when he thought of the troubled yet cute woman.
"Hold up, hold the donkey's balls."
"..." Victor was silent and waited for his mother.
"... Leaving aside the feelings of the people involved, will Ruby accept this?" Anna didn't know how vampire relationships work, but dating the daughter and the mother was inappropriate in any culture, right?
Right!?
"I don't know, I haven't talked to her about it yet." Victor was honest, but Ruby let her mom sleep with him naked in the same bed she was in, so is that okay?
Victor shook his head, denying his thoughts. He knew things with women were always more complicated; 'I should properly ask her later.'
"I see... That's a good choice. Women's feelings can change the same way we change panties."
"...That's pretty convincing coming from you." Victor flashed a slight smile.
"..." Anna grew a gentle smile and continued:
"You should talk to her later."
"Of course."
"Good." Anna nodded in satisfaction when she heard her son's instant response.
"So? Who is the fifth woman? As expected, it's your other mother-in-law?" Now that Anna has stopped to think about it:
'Doesn't he just have two mothers-in-law that he likes? And what about Violet's mother...? Don't tell me he's with her too?'
'... My son has three wives, and at the same time, he has the mothers of these three wives... Hmm, isn't that a good title for a porn book?' She had to make jokes to try to swallow all this nonsense she's been hearing.
Seriously, what kind of man just took three mothers and the three daughters of those mothers? Gigolo! Playboy.
... This woman has completely gone mad. He hasn't said anything yet, okay?
"Hmm? Of course not. The fifth woman is you, Mother."
"…Eh?" All of Anna's thoughts died, and her brain stopped working.
Looking at her son's blood-red eyes and her son's gentle smile.Gulp.
Unconsciously, Anna pulled away from Victor's gaze a little.
But suddenly a wave of anger rose on her face:
"You bastard, since when do you have these feelings for me!?"
"Huh…? Of course, it's been since I was little. I love you, mom."
"S-Since young." For some reason, Anna was having a hard time getting angry.
Anna started to think about the past and remembered the memories she had with her son. Somehow, she could accept that her son had feelings like that for her... Wait.
'This is Wrong! He is my son!'
"Look, Victor. I love your father, and I don't see you that way. And I am your mother!" She spoke very seriously, with her cheeks a little red.
"…Huh?" Victor turned his head without understanding.
"I know it can be hard, but I don't see you that way, okay?"
"You may be a vampire now, and it may not affect you, but I am your mother!" Important things must be said twice.
"Woman, what are you talking about? Have you finally gone crazy? Shall I welcome you to the club?"
"…Eh?" Anna made a shocked expression, looking like a goldfish that didn't understand anything, as she looked at her son again:
"Didn't you say you love me?"
"Of course I love you. You are my mother."
"... Oh... So you love me like a son loves a mother?"
"Of course."
"..." A silence descended on the place, and slowly Anna's face started to turn red.
'How confusing! Why do you keep creating misunderstandings!?' She really wanted to curse at Victor right now.
"...Oh." Victor seemed to understand something.
He grew a small mocking smile, "Mother, you are watching a lot of inappropriate things, your imagination is very fertile."
Her face turned completely red:
"S-Shut up!"
"What do you expect me to think after all that love-your-mother-in-law nonsense!?" In Anna's mind, Victor had already broken all possible taboos.
He liked his mother-in-law! So it was only natural that she would think that he would also go after her. After all, she is beautiful!
What is incest for a vampire who can live for thousands of years?
This can no longer be called incest but 'WINCEST'.
...She's treating him like a sexual predator...
"That's why I say you should stop being on the internet. It's because of seeing things you shouldn't that your mind has become degenerate." Victor spoke as if he were a father teaching his daughter the ways of life.
"I am not a degenerate! Fuck you!" She pointed her middle finger at Victor.
"Pfft… HAHAHAHA." Victor laughed amusedly when he saw Anna's embarrassed face.
"..." Anna's cheeks puffed out like a squirrel's, and soon she got up from the bed and stomped on the floor in irritation:
"I'm out!" She couldn't stand being in this room any longer. She felt like she would die of shame. How could she think of her son like that!?
"Umu? Wait, where are you going, Mother?"
"I'm going back to my house!" She grabbed the door and left with a bang.
BAAMMMMM!
"...But you're already at your house..." Victor said, and soon a smug smile appeared on his face.
But that smile didn't last long as he remembered his mother's embarrassed face.
"HAHAHAHAHAHHA~" He laughed a lot, like a child who enjoyed teasing his mother.
...
[A/N: Stop... I already know what you're thinking about, I know you, and you know yourself very well! This novel will not have incest, this is just comedy... Comedy, OK!?]
sturdy.
"Demons, know my will is made of iron, torture does not affect me! I will not go-.."
Sasha pointed her finger at Carlos:
"Shut up."
Rumble, Rumble.
A small bolt of lightning shot out of her finger and hit the man's chest, and then.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed in pain.
"Tell me, Maria." Sasha looked at Maria, who was still a little bruised, but much better than last night, all thanks to the small drop of blood Victor had given her, at Sasha's request:
"What do you want to do?"
"Master..." Maria looked at Sasha, and slowly her face began to grow paler as if it were a corpse, and several scar-shaped cracks started to appear on her face, her teeth became sharper, her eyes, her eyes turned blood red, and she looked at Carlos:"I want to eat him."
"... It seems your motivation hasn't wavered." Sasha's smile grew.
"Master, he's not the Carlos I know anymore... He's been twisted and manipulated, he's turned into this freak that is a Simp of 'God'."
"And..." Red threads began to come out of Maria's body and spread around the place, "I'm not the same Maria as before."
Those red threads went towards Carlos.
The man faced all this with a neutral gaze while he looked at the 'monster' in front of him.
[Hybrid Commander Experiment has been discarded.]
He heard a robotic voice in his mind, and soon he felt something coming out of his mind.
And for the first time in a long time, he felt 'free' again.
"Sigh, as expected. Despite everything, what I did was still not enough." He spoke in a neutral tone.
"..." Maria's strands stopped in front of Carlos' eyes.
"..." Sasha's eyes twitched. What was that sudden change? Why did he go from being a crazy fanatic to a normal person?
He ignored Maria's wires and Maria herself and spoke:
"Sasha Fulger."
"..." Sasha looked at Carlos with neutral eyes.
"What happened to you was inevitable."
"... What did you say?"
"In the end, you and I, and even Maria, are victims of something we had no control over."
"Do not change the subject!" Sasha roared in a voice like lightning crashing to earth.
Carlos kept looking at Sasha, "You must know why your house was targeted, right?"
"It was because you found out that my house lost the title of count."
"Yes, and the leaders of the inquisition thought it would be a good idea to further weaken Clan Fulger."
"And we took the job because the pay was good."
"It was just business."
"AND?" Sasha wanted to know what he meant by all this.
"Of course, that doesn't take away my guilt, I still killed someone important to you." He looked at Maria:
"And you did the same to me."
"...." A moment of silence fell over the place, and then he continued:
"What I mean is..."
"You and I are victims."
"..."
"Humans have never accepted anything different from them, especially beings like vampires." Carlos looked at Sasha again.
"Whether you like it or not, vampires are the natural predators of humans, and they've always felt threatened. It's natural."
"In this war that has lasted over thousands of years, there is no way to have a status quo. One side has to win and subdue the other side."
"And humans are feeling pressured, and when they are pushed to the limit, they start committing unforgivable acts, even towards their own kind." Carlos spoke with disgust as he remembered a location that was full of captured vampires and 'faithful' humans being used as experiments.
"What do you mean?"
"Count Alucard."
"...!" Sasha and Maria's bodies shook a little when they heard Victor's name.
"A freak who wields the powers of the three strongest vampire houses of counts, disciple of Scathach, and the youngest vampire in history to be awarded the title of count."
"A monster in every way possible."
"Anderson, second son of the Werewolf King, Fenrir. A monster said to have the same talent as his father, and I don't even need to mention his brother Fenir. Both are freaks who have endured the Spartan-like training of the Werewolf King."
"Not to mention the… Daughters of the Witch Queen."
"Women who specialize in certain spells capable of wreaking great havoc on humanity."
"And to add more, all these groups are not weakened."
"The vampire side, the king still has his vampire counts, and his eldest sons are strong too."
"The same situation applies to werewolves, just how many wolves are there in that realm? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands?"
"I don't even need to talk about witches, right? Considering, they never fought a war after the witch hunt."
"... What's the point of telling me all this, Carlos?" Sasha's eyes weren't pretty since, to her, the man was just talking nonsense.
"Humans are overwhelmed... The inquisition doesn't have enough power to fight all these beings." Carlos spoke in sad tones when he saw reports of several werewolf packs which were kidnapping women and a group of vampires who kidnapped humans to serve as livestock in Nightingale.
"And because of that, they're messing with powers they shouldn't mess with, and I'm the result of that." He spoke while looking at his right hand, which was previously covered in black power.
"Bullshit," Sasha said suddenly, with a colder voice than before.
"..." Carlos looked at Sasha.
"Do you know how that sounds to me? Just an excuse for you to hunt supernatural beings."
"..."
"In the end, you're afraid of something you don't understand."
"I've never heard of the Werewolf King exclusively attacking humans. He only attacked when humans provoked werewolves."
"Yes, some wild wolves wreak havoc on the human world, but these wolves have no connection with the Werewolf King."
"Nightingale's vampires live peaceful lives in their realm, just a few fools who go out into the world to cause chaos. The Vampire King has never spoken when you kill these vampires."
"And the witches, they've never broken their neutrality, they've never done that because they know that the moment they take a side, they're going to make a lot of enemies and lose the 'resources' they get from every race with which they negotiate."
"Are you treating me like a fool?"
"I am not…"
"Huuuh?" Sasha's face was anything but pretty if she'd hated Carlos before, now she was disgusted by his existence.
"..." Carlos was silent.
"At the end of the day, you're using the same excuse you used thousands of years ago."
"Vampires are evil. We must eliminate them, God commanded it to be so!"
"After all, where is this god? Thousands of years have passed, and no one has ever seen the face of this being."
"That's..." He didn't know how to answer.
"Isn't this god of yours just the leaders of The Inquisition? Corrupt politicians, who use their leader's name to carry out their will?"
"The excuse that humans are overwhelmed won't work on me. At the end of the day, you're still the same as before!"
"They use any excuse to murder the 'evil of humanity'."
"And what is this 'evil of humanity?'"
"Vampires? Werewolves? Witches?"
"Of course not!"
"The evil of humanity is all beings that do not agree with its ideology or all beings that do not submit to its organization! Everything you have no control over, you eliminate!"
"That's what you always are, and always will be!"
"Hypocrites!"
Sigh…
"...As expected, there's no way for a vampire to understand humans." Carlos sighed.
"Tsk..." Sasha's eyes glowed blood red.
"I wasted my time talking to you about this useless subject." Sasha spoke with disgust.
She looked at Maria and said:
"Maria, he's there. He's all yours, do what you think is best." Sasha spoke in a neutral tone that held a small hint of cruelty.
"Yes, master."
Chapter 212: A Gentle Demon.
Seeing Maria approaching him, Carlos said:
"In the end… Is this my end?"
Maria showed a big smile, on the woman's face you couldn't see even an ounce of emotion, the only thing that appeared on her face was hunger...
A long time ago, she was overcome by her hunger.
That was inevitable since she suffered great damage, and her body needed nutrients.
Yes! Victor's blood was a top-notch delicacy, but Maria knew that she had only obtained a few drops of Victor's blood purely for Sasha's sake, Victor wouldn't give his blood willingly.
And she also knew that she was only alive because of Sasha. Victor would've readily let her die at that time, and she would never forget that man's smile when he saw her slowly lose her life.
That smile deeply touched Maria's heart, reminding her of how scary Victor could be.
A cruel being, a being who had no mercy, and at the same time, a being who took care of those close to him.
It was because of that last trait that she couldn't completely hate Victor because if you looked at it from his POV, she was just an enemy.
"Wrong, this is just the beginning." Maria cracked her neck.
"I'll use you until I'm completely satisfied..." Her mouth started to drip.
"I'm starving, and I haven't been completely satisfied for several days."
"...Sigh, you really have become a creature of hell."
Maria showed a sneer, "The same can be said of you, Carlos."
"...Hahaha, you might be correct." He sighed at the end.
Maria stopped in front of him.
Looking at the monster in front of her who was once the person he loved most, Carlos said:
"Do it."
Maria opened her mouth wide and bit a big chunk of Carlos' neck as she tore his flesh and pulled out a big chunk of meat.
FUSHHHHHH.
Blood splashed on Maria's face, but she didn't care, as her smile just grew, but at the same time, her smile grew, a small imperceptible tear fell from her face. When she bit Carlos, something that was left inside her shattered completely.
Soon she opened her mouth again and bit another piece of flesh from Carlos's body.
'Disgusting...as expected that man's blood is better, but...I can satisfy my hunger.' She thought as she swallowed Carlos' flesh.
Despite feeling immense pain, despite feeling something inside him break when he saw Maria feeding on him, he didn't scream or cry.
He just accepted it all as inevitable. That was the fate of those who lost a war... Death.
As if it were a movie that was playing at high speed, Carlos saw his whole life flash by in an instant while he focused his memories on two children running from adults while holding food in his hand.
'Although it was a hard life... It was a good life...' Then, as he was closing his eyes to fall into unconsciousness, he suddenly woke up.
"Huh?" He looked at Maria incomprehensibly and saw that his body was healing at a high speed.
"Why the surprise?" Maria's smile grew.
"I said it, right? I'm so hungry, I won't let you die so easily."
Maria made a gesture with her hands, it was as if she was grabbing the air, and with a small use of her strength, all of Carlos' limbs fell to the ground.
"AHHHHHHHHH!"
This time, he couldn't take the pain, but like a determined man, he bit his tongue and stopped himself from screaming anymore.
But...
Maria thrust her hand into Carlos' stomach and pulled his liver out, while she opened her mouth wide and swallowed it whole.
"..." Sasha watched the spectacle in front of her with neutral eyes. As she watched the enemies who killed her mother sinking further into the bottomless pit, she felt immense satisfaction, and it was like a weight was being lifted from her shoulders.
'I avenged you, Mother...'
But even though she was feeling this satisfaction, she couldn't smile...
The sight of Maria eating Carlos in front of her didn't make her smile. She had a naive thought that if it were possible, she didn't want it to end like this.
At the end of the day, she is still a kind woman.
She just couldn't enjoy this horror show in front of her...
But despite having these thoughts running through her head, she never stopped looking at the show in front of her.
Why?
Because that was her responsibility, she caused it, and she must see it through to the end.
Despite being a kind woman, she was also a very responsible woman, and these two traits appeared quite strangely in this situation.
As she watched the show in front of her, she felt someone tap her shoulder.
She turned her face and saw Victor.
"...Darling."
Seeing his wife's lifeless look, Victor's heart filled with worry. He didn't say anything and just pulled her into a hug and said:
"Stop."
"...Darling?"
Victor took Sasha's face and lifted a little, while he looked into Sasha's lifeless eyes and said:
"Don't force yourself. Like I said before, you're a kind woman. This kind of dirty sight doesn't suit you."
"... What are you talking about?"
Victor caressed Sasha's cheek a little and said with a small smile, "Stubborn as always."
"..." Sasha was silent.
"You mentioned your grandmother to me, right?" This happened after the incident in which Kaguya was injured.
"… Carmila Fulger?"
"How did you describe her?"
"A woman who had the personality of a knight..." She remembered saying something like that.
"In a way, Honey. You are just like her."
"…Huh?"
"A noble woman, a direct and reckless woman, sometimes responsible, and above all, a kind woman." He stroked Sasha's head.
"..." Sasha opened her eyes wide.
"Because of that, you don't have to try hard. You've already avenged your mother, that's enough."
"... But-." She was going to say that it was her responsibility to watch until the end.
"Shhh..."
"This is enough."
Victor's eyes began to glow blood red, "Just sleep like a baby, okay? Tomorrow when you wake up, everything that bothers you will disappear."
"Wait---." Sasha was going to say something but couldn't. She felt her eyes heavy and slowly began to fall into the world of unconsciousness
Victor took Sasha into his arms like a princess and lifted her up. He stared at his wife's face for a long time in silence, while several thoughts seemed to be going through his head at this moment.
But the main one was, 'She needs to rest.'
"... You are very kind, Victor... But, you know that one day, she will not be able to continue with this personality." Natashia spoke with neutrality.
"Just like me, she's going to have to get her hands dirty. One day, she's going to have to wake up and see that this world is a worse place than what she believes." She spoke while looking at Maria and then looked at Victor again.
Victor looked at Natashia with lifeless eyes.
"..." Natashia's whole body shook when she saw Victor's gaze.
"You're wrong."
"...Oh?"
"She doesn't have to deal with the filth of the world, I'm here for that."
"None of my wives have to deal with the rot. They just need to be as they are…beautiful, bloodthirsty, and immaculate."
"The rest?" Victor's smile grew so abnormally that it looked like his whole face distorted.
"I'll take care of the rest."
"..." She opened her mouth wide in shock.
A demonic creature was standing in front of her. When you think of demons, you think of cruel and evil beings who do everything to satisfy their desires.
And that was the impression an ordinary person would get of this man now.
But... To Natashia, he looked like something else.
He looked like a gentle demon… Wrong, he was just a husband worried about his wife…
"I see..." She closed her eyes a little and smiled gently, "I'm jealous of Sasha, I wish I had met someone like you in the past." This time, she didn't say it with ulterior motives. Those were really her honest thoughts.
And slowly, the obsession she already had with Victor started to grow, as each time she got to know him more, she felt that what she was looking for was right in front of her.
Victor walked towards Natashia and handed Sasha to her.
"..." Natashia picked up Sasha carefully and looked at her daughter.
'She was so small... Now, she's this big...' She sighed a little sadly when she imagined that she missed her daughter's childhood because of her other personality.
Victor lifted Natashia's chin and made the woman look at him.
"..." She looked into Victor's lifeless eyes. She felt that if she stared into those eyes for too long, she would be sucked into that abyss in his eyes, but... She didn't care about that since she would gladly jump into that abyss.
"I'm watching you."
"!!!"Natashia's entire body visibly shook, and her eyes widened.
Victor didn't need to specify what he was talking about, Natashia already knew what it was.
Victor turned and walked towards Maria:
"Before you think of me, you must think of your daughter."
"Never forget that, now more than ever, she deserves to have a good mother close to her."
"..." Again, her whole body shook, as she seemed to have received two surprises at the same time, if before her obsession started to grow, now her obsession exploded like a nuclear bomb.
But most of all, the desire to be with her daughter grew even more. She looked at Sasha, while she caressed Sasha's cheek a little and said:
"... You are correct... My daughter needs me... She needs me... She needs me." Like a broken record, she began to repeat that phrase.
On top of her obsession with Victor, her maternal side began to take on the same height as her obsession. Now more than ever, she wanted Victor and wanted to be close to her daughter.
A good vampire always chooses both options, she never chooses just one!
Why?
Because they are greedy beings!
Victor flashed a small smile when he saw Natashia's gaze out of the corner of his eye:
"...Good."
"Natashia, take Sasha to her room." Victor made a request.
"Yes, I will take her." Natashia didn't want her daughter to stay here.
When Natashia left, and the door was closed, Victor looked at the door, and for a few seconds, his eyes seemed to glow blood red, and then the entire door was frozen solid.
He looked at Maria, who was literally eating Carlos, who was doing his best not to scream.
"Maria."
"!!!" Maria suddenly woke up from her stupor and looked at Victor.
"You greedy Maid, you're doing a bad job. He's not suffering."
"…Eh?"
"Come here."
Victor called her towards him.
"..." Maria didn't think much, she just nodded her head and walked towards Victor.
Carlos opened his tired eyes and looked at Maria, but he couldn't stay conscious for long and fell into unconsciousness.
As if by magic, his body began to regenerate again.
Victor ignored Carlos as he lifted Maria's chin and said while his eyes glowed blood red, "Because you're a flawed vampire, you get lost easily in emotions, so you can't do your job properly."
He didn't seem bothered by the blood on Maria's face.
He raised his finger and collected all the blood from Maria's clothes in a small sphere in the air, and soon that sphere entered his body.
"I'm sorry." She didn't know why she was apologizing, but she felt she ought to apologize.
"Hmm? Why are you apologizing?"
"I don't know, I just thought I should apologize." She spoke honestly.
"... You are afraid of me?"
"..." Maria's body trembled, and she answered honestly:
"Yes."
"That is good." Victor's smile grew:
"Never forget that fear." He caressed her face gently, "The day you think about betraying Sasha, the day you get lost in the gluttony for food, don't forget that fear, that fear will be the motivation that will make you avoid attacking my wife, My Maid."
'My Maid...? Then he-.'
Maria's thoughts were interrupted when Victor hugged her, and soon she felt something bite her neck.
"Ahhh~." Unconsciously, she closed her legs around Victor's waist and wrapped her arm around his neck.
She was feeling something change in her, something that already existed inside her was slowly merging with something that Victor had thrown into her, and it was like the circle of Yin and Yang.
These two 'somethings' have completely merged.
But something was still missing, she opened her mouth and bit Victor's neck!
Gulp, Gulp.
Drinking that delicious blood straight from the source, that something that had fused together began to change, that began to turn into something more robust, something special.
For the first time in several months… She felt complete in every way possible.
'Ahhh~. Now, I understand... I understand why this man's Maids are so obsessed with him.' Maria always felt strange when she saw Bruna and Eve looking at Victor with such obsessive eyes, but now she could understand why they were like that.
In Maria's vision, she could see, the man in front of her was the 'beginning' of everything. For the first time in her life, she understood the meaning of the 'god' that that man lying on the floor talked so much about.
Ironically, Maria, the hunter of the Inquisition, had to go through this whole journey to understand the meaning of 'god'.
Did she think Carlos was her god? How absurd! He was meaningless!
How could she call that man a god!? Was she blind?
Maria's skin began to take on a healthier, paler hue, the scars that looked like a crater had completely disappeared, while her blonde hair had loosened and grown a bit and taken on a more vivid color, and just like the other Eve and Bruna's eyes, Maria's eyes hers took on a permanent blood-red hue.
She looked at Victor, and for the first time in a long time, she felt at peace, a peace she never wanted to lose again, a look of obsession appeared on her face, and she thought:
'My Master…'
