Chapter 219: So Much Chaos.
A day passed for the girls at Victor's mansion, and they seemed to have an unexpected visitor.
A blonde-haired maid was walking towards the group of girls.
"Girls, check this out, we have a visitor."
Rumble, Rumble.
Natashia appeared next to Natalia.
"...This man..." Natashia looked at the tall, dark man with piercing eyes. For some reason unknown to her, this man was giving her heart a little irritation. It was as if she had met someone like him somewhere in the past.
"He's been hanging around the neighborhood, I think he's looking for Darling?" Sasha spoke up.
"Master?" Maria, who was next to Sasha, looked at the ball with curious eyes.
Unlike Eve and Bruna, Maria wasn't desperate. After all, she had been living with Victor for six months, so she knew what kind of personality he had, and she knew his tastes too.
Victor will always give priority to his wives, and she wasn't upset about it; in fact, she was very happy!
After all, because he is that type of man, he would take very good care of her second master who was right next to her!
"…Who is looking for Victor?" Scathach and Violet seemed interested as they approached the three blondes and looked at a small ball Natalia was holding.
"Oh?" The moment Scathach looked at the man, she seemed to know him.
"Do you know him?" Violet asked,
"Hmm, he reminds me of someone I knew in the past, but I'm not sure..." Scathach touched her chin, she seemed to be trying to remember, but since the man wasn't very memorable, she only had a small vague memory.
"Just give us a hint, and tell us who you think he is." Violet spoke.
"Hmm..." Scathach tried her best to remember, but she couldn't.
"..." They waited in silence.
"I do not remember." She spoke in a flat tone.
"..." The girls next to her fell silent.
Why all this suspense if you don't remember!? They wanted to scream now.
Suddenly, they heard.
"Here's your money, thanks for the work, June."
"...?" Natalia, Sasha, Violet, and Scathach looked at Kaguya, who was accompanied by Eve and Bruna.
Kaguya put a black credit card in the machine and entered a ridiculous amount of numbers...
June watched the entire process in silence, and when Kaguya was done and she received the money, she said, "...Why do I feel like you're kicking me out...?" she asked carefully.
"It's your imagination." Kaguya spoke in a flat tone, but she had a look on her face that said, why are you still here? Go away, shoo, shoo.
"…Ugh, your cold eyes hurt. Come on, Kaguya, we're friends who've known each other for a long time! Be good to me!" She demanded with a smile on her face.
"..." Kaguya just looked at June as if she was a piece of garbage.
"...That look..." Kaguya's gaze seemed to damage June's sensitive heart.
"...Kaguya, aren't you exaggerating?" Bruna asked.
In the little interaction she had with June, she realized that this woman was a kind woman, despite her being greedy for money.
She never treated her or Eve badly, so she had a good impression of June... even though she was greedy.
"...Don't trust her, she's acting sweet because there's a big 'sheep' around her, and because of that, she doesn't want to cause trouble, but at the first opportunity, she'll charge taxes for her services."
Gulp.
June swallowed hard, she really wanted to say that was a lie, and she would never do that!
...But even she knew she would do it if given the chance. She just didn't do it now because she didn't want to provoke multiple Vampire Count Clans at once.
Clan Scarlett, Clan Snow, Clan Fulger, Clan Alucard.
Four families of vampire counts were present in this place!
She was greedy, not a suicidal freak!
"Taxes suck." Bruno spoke.
"Yes." Kaguya nodded in agreement.
"But what 'sheep' are you talking about?"
"Sometimes I'm surprised how innocent this Maid is..." Everyone heard Siena's voice.
They turned their faces and saw that Lacus, Siena, and Pepper had arrived.
"Of course, she's talking about Victor." Lacus continued what Siena said.
"What?" Bruna opened her mouth in shock and stared at June with an irritated look.
And not just her, Eve did the same.
'As expected, she was unreliable.' Eve was a suspicious woman, and when she understood that someone wanted to use her master, June was put on Eve's 'black list'.
"..." Cold sweat began pouring down June's face, but she managed to keep her innocent smile.
"They don't have to be so extreme." Violet suddenly spoke up.
Eve, Bruna, and Kaguya looked at Violet.
"Despite being greedy, June does her job properly, and for witches, business is everything. You just have to keep in mind not to fall into their traps, or they will suck more money out of you." She explained in a blunt and simple to understand way.
The words contained the following message, witches are useful but never trust them. Business is business.
Despite being inexperienced in this kind of subject, Eve and Bruna understood this message, but…
"..." Eve and Bruna didn't know how to react to this information, they didn't want to accept Violet's words, but Violet was the first wife that Victor had and, in the minds of the two Maids, her words had a little more weight than usual... But one thing they were sure of was that anyone who tried to harm their master was put on their 'black list'.
But they also took Violet's words into consideration, if one thing they both understood well was that the world was not just black or white, but…
'I will kill this bitch, if she does anything suspicious…' two seemed to get even worse.
"Lady Violet, you didn't help at all, their looks seem to just get worse!"
"Well, I told them the truth, I still remember when we first met. You tried your best to suck money out of me."
"...Ugh, I was young..." She couldn't deny Violet's words now.
"Yeah, yeah, that's the excuse you all use." Violet rolled her eyes.
"... How mean... I'm just a witch who loves money..." She spoke in a sad tone, but no one fell for her trick.
"... Somehow, this woman would get along with my sister..." Natashia commented in a low voice when she saw June's theatrics.
Looking at her daughter, Scathach asked curiously, "...where were you?" She saw the appearance of her daughters, they looked like they had gone shopping, and they were carrying several bags.
"We took a tour of the human world, and we bought a lot of things!" Pepper spoke with a happy smile.
"... When did you leave? I didn't realize you left." Scathach touched her chin in thought since she couldn't remember seeing her daughters leave.
"...Mother, no offense, but you were too busy paying attention to Victor..." Pepper commented in a meek tone.
"...Wha-." Scathach opened her mouth in shock.
"Yes, from sleeping together with him to training him or giving him advice, you've completely forgotten about us." Lacus spoke in a flat tone.
"…Eh…?"
"Well, I'm an adult now, so I don't care much about your attention, mother..." But, despite having said that, Siena's face said otherwise.
"W-Wait, I didn't do that!" For a few seconds, Scathach looked a little panicked.
"So tell me when we left, and where did we go?" Siena asked.
"Well..." She didn't know what to say; after all, she didn't know.
"See? Normally, you'd know our location without us even having to tell you where we were going." Scathach was a Stalker-...Cough, a high-level tracker, she'd know everything she wanted to know.
"…Ugh."
"... Pfft..." Natashia held her belly and started to laugh, "Hahahaha~. the strongest female vampire is being defeated-."
"HUH?" Scathach looked at Natashia with a gaze glowing blood red.
Natashia's entire body shook a little when she saw Scathach's blank gaze, "...I didn't say anything." She turned her face away and started whistling.
"Mother..." Sasha was speechless at her mother's childish attitude. What a woman, can't you be more grown up!? You are over 1900 years old!
Sasha didn't say that out loud because she's 100% sure her mom would say something like:
'I'm a teenager at heart~.' Or some bullshit like that.
Scathach looked at her daughters, "Looks like I got too relaxed...-" She looked like she was going to say something, but her middle daughter interrupted, saying.
"It's okay, Mother. We understand that you are going through the spring of your 'youth', you have that right." Lacus spoke while nodding her head.
She knew that her mother liked Victor, and it was normal for her not to pay attention to her daughters, and to be honest, Lacus was even a little grateful to Victor for that, considering Scathach was very strict and always watched her daughters. Like a hawk.
She didn't have many opportunities to go out and do whatever she wanted.
"Spring of youth? Huh?" Scathach understood nothing.
"...." The daughters of Scathach were silent.
'Dense mother fucker!' They felt like strangling their mother now!
"Hey, we're back." Suddenly they heard Luna's voice being accompanied by Roberta.
"Where were you?" Violet asked.
"We were talking to this man." Luna pointed to the ball that Natalia was holding.
The girls looked at the ball and soon saw the man walking away.
"Huh? You guys are fast. We didn't even see you leaving..."
"Well, we had nothing to do." Roberta commented with a gentle smile.
This man's name is Anderson. He's an Alpha werewolf and the son of the werewolf king."
"Oh... So that's why he looked like someone I knew." Natashia spoke with disgust.
"He is the son of that battle maniac." She spat on the floor.
"..." Just what happened in the past to cause such a reaction?
They wondered, except for Scathach, who seemed to have remembered something:
"Oh, that man had a son, huh? So he fucked that woman...? Since he's still alive..." Scathach looked very curious.
"Which woman?" Natashia didn't seem to remember.
"Hmm, what was her name? Tashi? Toshi? Taka? Toka?"
"..." Natashia looked at Scathach in silence, she seemed to be thinking about something along with the woman, and soon the appearance of a brunette woman appeared in her mind:
"Oh, it's that bitch Tasha."
"Oh!" Scathach remembered now.
"...How did that man fuck that woman? Shouldn't he be dead?"
"Well, he's an Alpha, and in time, he could match her, maybe?"
"Oh, that's true..."
"... You can bring us up on the subject too." Violet spoke for all the girls:
"Who is Tasha?"
"..." Natashia and Scathach looked at the girls.
Natashia spoke simply, "...Basically speaking, she is an Egyptian goddess."
"Huh!?" Some people like Bruna and Eve were surprised.
"Hmm, hasn't she lost her divinity? And because of that, she changed her name to Tasha?"
"Do I look like someone who knows?"
"..." Natashia was silent. This woman is rude as usual, huh?
"Anyway, what did that man's son want with Victor?" Scathach asked.
"...They were here looking for a fight; apparently Victor said he was going to fight him..." Luna replied unconsciously.
"Oh, he completely forgot about that, huh?" Scathach spoke.
"Well, he gets lost when it comes to his wives."
"What did you say to him?" Sasha asked.
"Oh, I said he left to run some errands, and he'll be back in a week." Luna replied.
"That is good." Sasha and Violet nodded.
"W-Wait, wait, wait!" Roberta suddenly raised her voice.
"...?" The two mothers-in-law looked at Roberta.
"What is this Goddess story!?"
"Well, she's a goddess?" Natashia didn't understand Roberta's question, and why was she acting like this? Natashia was a little curious.
"I mean, is she a real goddess?"
"Oh...she's not an omnipotent goddess like you think. It's something like she governs an aspect of nature. There are many beings that can do what she can." Scathach spoke in a simple tone. Who was Scathach? She was the woman who slapped Persephone and Aphrodite in the ass, so this was nothing to her.
"Remember, she's not a goddess anymore."
"Who cares?"
"..." A vein popped in Natashia's head.
"Oh?" Scathach's smile grew. Is it a fight you want? It's a fight you're going to have!
That's what her face said.
Whistle~
Natashia turned away and started whistling since she didn't want to fight Scathach right now.
"Ugh, that's a lot to take in." Roberta spoke, and Eve and Bruna nodded in agreement.
Violet wasn't shocked. After all, her father was Adonis himself.
Only people new to the group like Roberta, Eve, Bruna were shocked.
'So much chaos, how many people are in this room?' Natalia had a bit of a headache hearing so many people talking at the same time while she looked at these people with a neutral look.
'Violet, Scathach, Sasha, Maria, Natashia, Roberta, Bruna, Lacus, Kaguya, Pepper, Siena, June, and me.' With a brief account, Natalia can count 13 women.
THIRTEEN!!
And each of them was beautiful in their own respect. Seriously, what's going on here?
She understood that some of the women here had no interest in Victor like Siena, Lacus, Pepper, and even herself, but even if you excluded those four women, there would still be nine women left!
'But what is this? In less than 7 months, this man had unconsciously gathered a large group of women, just what is he planning?' Does Natalia know that Victor isn't planning anything, it's more like an inevitable fate?
'Victor has a peculiar taste. He only likes women like Scathach, Violet, Sasha, and Natashia. Completely crazy women, his relationship with his Maids is just that of servant and master... Hmm...' Natalia was in matchmaking mode, as she was completely sizing up women around Victor.
She got that way when she learned that Victor and Ruby had gone on a date.
'I want a fucking date too!' She was very honest in her mind.
Sigh...
She sighed a little.
"Natalia?" Violet looked at her Maid.
Chapter 220: 'Welcome To The Club'?
"Natalia?" Violet looked at her maid.
Natalia looked at Violet and said with a slight smile on her face:
"It's nothing, Lady Violet."
Violet narrowed her eyes for a few seconds, wondering why her maid had sighed. She wasn't a woman to do that without reason, but as she didn't see any irregularities, she just said:
"... Okay." Soon Violet looked at the rest of the women and started talking to them. The main topic, as expected, was Victor and Anderson.
Looking at the back of Violet, who was joining in the conversation with all the women in the room, Natalia showed an almost imperceptible ironic smile and thought; 'Who would have thought that this stalker would make so many 'acquaintances' just by getting involved with that man?'
A few months ago, it would have been unthinkable for Natalia to see this vision of Violet since she knew the personality of the woman she served very well, and she was not a woman who would have accepted this easily.
But... That didn't seem to be the case anymore.
Violet had changed, and she couldn't tell whether the change was for better or worse.
Fate is a bitch sometimes, but she also helps when she wants to...
When she feels like it, or when she wants to have fun...
In the end, fate is still a bitch...
But who would have thought that the antisocial Violet would gain 'several' acquaintances.
Realizing that the girls were losing the importance of the main subject, Natalia displayed her usual gentle smile and spoke:
"Didn't you have a game to go to?"
"...!?" As if some supernatural creature had cut off the sound in the room, all the women stopped talking and looked at Natalia with a shocked look.
"Oh..." Natashia, Sasha, Scathach, and Violet all spoke at the same time.
"You're right, we have to go to Nightingale." Violet suddenly spoke up.
"What about our stuff?" Sasha asked.
"No need to take anything, this is our home too." She spoke in a simple, easy-to-understand way that somehow couldn't help but take Sasha by surprise.
"Oh..." Sasha couldn't help but smile when she heard what Violet said.
"..." Natashia showed a small smile when she saw her daughter's smile.
"Hmm, I don't want to go back..." Scathach suddenly spoke while she had a neutral face on her face.
"…Huh?" Everyone looked at Scathach in shock; what did this battle maniac just say? Does she not want to go back? Will Scathach miss a fight between two Counts?
"…M-Mother, are you sick?" Siena spoke in a worried tone.
"Yes, she must be sick! Mother, you must rest!" Lacus agreed.
"Mother, please take care of your health! Even though you look young, you are older than Jesus!" Pepper spoke.
"Wha-." Siena, Lacus, and Natashia couldn't believe Pepper's courage!
"..." A vein popped in Scathach's head, and she looked at Pepper with a 'gentle' smile.
"...Oops... Hehehehe." She broke out in a cold sweat now, "I suddenly remembered that I must feed my black cat!" Pepper used the best tactic.
"See ya!" She ran away.
"This kid..." Scathach's eyes glowed blood red for a few seconds, and just as she was about to grab Pepper, she heard:
"Forget Pepper, why don't you want to go back!?" Natashia spoke.
"..." Scathach looked at Natashia with the same 'gentle' look as hers.
But this time, Natashia just looked at the woman with a serious look.
Siena and Lacus were looking at Natashia with a grateful expression since they knew that if Scathach caught her daughter, they would also suffer the consequences.
"... Tsk." Scathach clicked her tongue and let the matter go since she didn't intend to do anything with her daughter. After all, Pepper was her beloved daughter, and she was just going to train her a little!
She's getting really lazy!
Soon Scathach elaborated on why she didn't want to go back, "Simply put, I'm very comfortable here." She was 100% sure that when she gets back to Nightingale, Vlad would annoy her, and she didn't want to get angry and accidentally destroy his castle.
It's not like she was trying to avoid a fight; she just didn't want to.
"Lazy..." Violet, Sasha, and Natashia opened their eyes wide, as they never thought they would see a lazy Scathach.
"Hmm... I'm not lazy." She touched her chin and thought about why she didn't want to go back, and in the end, the only thought that came to her was:
'I feel at peace here.' And it was a peace she hadn't felt in thousands of years, and in some strange way, she missed it.
It was a strange feeling, even in her house, she never felt this 'peace', she just felt bored.
She didn't know why she was feeling this way. She had no idea!
But she had only one thought now in her head...
'It would be even better if that bastard were here…' She couldn't help but think about it.
Even though she was thinking about it, she wasn't in a hurry or feeling frustrated...
Well, she wasn't going to lie and say she wasn't a little frustrated, but the point is, she was happy for her daughter! And she missed Victor!
"...This is unexpected..." Natashia flashed a small smile, "But not totally unexpected."
"…Hmm?" Scathach didn't understand what Natashia said.
"Well, you're still going to change a lot." Natashia laughed gently because she understood what Scathach was going through, considering she went through it thousands of years ago.
Something the strongest warrior didn't have the opportunity to enjoy because she was raised in a hostile environment.
She narrowed her eyes a little, "What are you talking about, woman?"
"Nothing~." With the same smile, Natashia spoke, and then she continued, "Just know that when Victor comes back, he's going to Nightingale too."
"Oh... In that case, I'll go too." She changed her mind really fast!
She turned around, and soon she started walking towards a hallway, looking as though she were going to get something from her room.
"..." The women just watched Scathach with a dry gaze.
"Ugh." Natashia put her hand on her head as if she had a bad headache:
"Victor really has a long way to go, why is this woman as dense as a black hole? Somehow, she is already creating her own galaxy around herself." She couldn't help but complain out loud.
Nod, Nod.
Siena, Lacus, Luna, Natalia, Kaguya all nodded in agreement with the older woman's words.
"..." Sasha and Violet looked at Scathach with a lifeless look. They had already talked about it, and it was better to have a monster on your side than against you, but...
But... But... Despite having agreed, it was still an annoying feeling!
If Scathatch were a normal woman, she would have disappeared from the face of Earth by now!
The two look at the Maids that Victor recruited, Bruna, Eve, Maria, and Kaguya.
'They're safe.' Nobody knows the criteria of judgment of the two women, but they could say that they were safe. After all, they didn't have that attribute that Victor liked the most.
Their relationship was that of master and servant, so even though they were very attached to Victor, they were considered 'safe'.
The same could be said of Roberta, June, Natalia, and Luna.
Roberta was a woman that Victor recruited to fight against in the future, and she had a mysterious past that Victor didn't really care too much about. The only reason she was here was because of her 'potential'.
June, needless to say, was a greedy witch, so she loved money more.
Natalia and Luna didn't have much interaction with Victor to begin with.
But…
They looked at the other monster, who was Sasha's mother, and it was quite clear to both of them Natashia's unabashed interest, the woman also didn't even try to hide anything.
And to make matters worse, she had that 'attribute' that Victor liked.
"..." Violet looked at Sasha and spoke in a dry voice:
"Do something."
"Like what?"
"I do not know. Just do something."
"Don't ask for the impossible. My case is the same as Ruby, you know?" Sasha spoke in a dry tone, as she clearly remembered the times her mother literally threw herself at her husband...
... 'Why does that sound like the title of a low-grade porn movie?' Sasha's eyes began to grow even more lifeless.
"Tsk." Violet clicked her tongue in irritation and spoke:
"Fate is a bitch. Who would have thought that my husband's two mother-in-laws would be like this? Scathach, to begin with, was a crazy whore who did whatever she wanted, and your mother 'surprisingly' has a dual personality."
"Well… Indeed." Sasha couldn't deny her words since even she was surprised at how it all turned out.
How did this happen in just six months? How did Victor manage to change the personality of these female vampires who were completely established for thousands of years…?' Sasha felt skeptical about this whole situation too.
She glanced at Violet, and suddenly flashed a smile much like Victor's:
"Protect your mother too."
"…Huh?" Violet blinked twice and believed she'd heard something wrong.
"What did you say…?"
"I said; protect your mother too."
"...I still don't understand." Violet pretended to be a saint.
"My mom and Ruby's mom fell for him. There's a chance your mother might fall for him too, considering she's just like you." Sasha was brutally honest.
"... That's impossible." Violet made the 'X' symbol with her arms, "My mom is obsessed with my dad, it's impossible for that to happen."
"... Well, if you say so." Sasha grew a small smile:
"I will look forward to the day when, like Ruby, I will say, 'Welcome to the club'~." The eyes Sasha made, frankly, scared Violet a little.
Soon Sasha walked towards Natashia:
"Mother, come along, we'll get some stuff!"
"Yes!" Natashia flashed a big smile and joined her daughter.
"..." Violet continued watching Sasha and Natashia's backs, and soon a small cold sweat started to fall from Violet's face.
'That's impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible!' Violet was in a state of denial. After all, she knew her mother very well, and just like her, her mother was obsessed with her father.
There's no way that's going to happen, that's as impossible as the possibility of hell freezing over.
That's as impossible as the possibility of the sun becoming a ball of ice tomorrow!
That's as impossible as the possibility of Lucifer having his love for God reciprocated!
That is...
It's impossible!
Violet nodded to herself and had a faint smile. She was sure to herself that this wasn't going to happen.
Violet could accept many things. After all, she grew up compared to the past, but her mother, with Victor?
That's a big 'NO'.
Violet was about to leave the room, which was a little noisy, and suddenly she felt her phone ring...
Getting a bad feeling about this, Violet took out her cell phone and saw that it was her mother.
"...." Her body started to shake, and so did her hands.
"Fate is a bitch, if I meet her in the future, I will kill her one day. Definitely!" Violet's eyes began to glow blood red.
Violet answered the phone and put it to her ear:
"Mother?"
"Violet, are you going to see Natashia and that old man play?"
"Yes, I will..."
"Hmm?" A moment of silence fell on the line.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes..." For some reason, what Sasha said couldn't get out of Violet's mind.
"How is my father?" She needed to know this first.
"Oh, your father is fine."
"..." Hearing her mother's neutral tone of voice, Violet understood that her father was actually fine.
Usually, when her father is down, Agnes would let it show a little bit, and if she said it so confidently, then he was fine!
What a good thing! Very good!
"Violet?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking of something." Violet felt relieved, so fate wasn't a bitch, she wouldn't commit such an atrocity to her. After all, she was always a good girl!
"Back to the subject, I will watch the game."
"Oh, that's good, I'll go watch the game too with your dad, we can meet there."
"..." Violet felt an incongruity, her mom would never call her and say that, so which means one thing:
"Did my father ask you to say that?"
"...As expected of you." Agnes seemed to have sighed a little.
"Yes. He asked."
"Spit it out, what happened? Why did my father ask you to say that?"
"He's worried about the guests the king asked us to bring."
"Huh?" Violet didn't understand anything, and she started to get impatient, "Woman, explain from the beginning."
"Basically, the king contacted me asking to accommodate seats for two guests."
"The guests are a witch and a werewolf."
"What are the names of these guests?"
"Selena Moriarty, the first daughter of the witch queen. And Anderson, the second son of the werewolf king."
"..." Violet was silent, her eyes starting to turn lifeless.
"Selena is already in Nightingale, but I haven't been able to find Anderson's whereabouts."
"Your father was worried about these two guests being here because of the new Count, who is your husband, and he asked me to get in touch with you."
"... Tsk." Violet was annoyed.
'It seems that problems will always look for my husband.' She thought, her eyes glowing blood red.
"..." Agnes was silent:
"Violet?"
"No need to look for the dog, he is here in the U.S."
"Oh?"
"The girls and I are going back to Nightingale, we're going to watch Natashia fight."
"In the meantime, you can use someone from Clan Alioth to fetch Anderson."
"I see, that's a good idea." Agnes seemed to be thinking, and then she asked:
"What about the new Count?"
"I do not know."
"Huh?"
"My husband is on a date with Ruby, I don't think he's going to show up to watch the fight.
"I see, it's a good thing he isn't there for the day." Despite not having talked much to her son-in-law, the woman knew he was a walking troublemaker.
"...Just this once, I agree with you."
...
