... Nothing?!
I turned around to ask Sofia for an answer, but there, her astonishment and Lucie's disbelief finally forced me to remain silent. It only meant one thing, it seemed that I was blessed or cursed to be half-vampire.
"...How do you feel? A feeling of extreme warmth? Do you have burns? Or nothing at all?" Lucie asked with sparkling eyes. For some reason, she was the only one among them to be so positive. It wasn't very comforting that she was more carefree than the little demoness.
At this precise moment, I believe my suicidal actions awakened Eve in her dizziness; she stared at me with her eyes that were carried by a mixture of anxiety, confusion, and other complex feelings that I had not yet seen. Heh~, In the end, this demoness is not really different from me. Besides the two emotions I had seen, were anger and... craziness? I am surprised to see her with this worried and confused air.
In short, this isn't the time to make the situation more disturbing. Each of us needs time to assimilate what we have just learned, and it's not just me who seems to need this short break for that.
"I'm leaving," I say as I walk to the door.
"Wait!" Eve, who had remained silent until now, finally shouted these words.
Before I could ask what was wrong, I felt her hug my back as her hands rushed around my chest. "...Don't leave. No matter who you are, you will always be mine! I don't care about this witch's words; you will always remain my Darling!" Hearing her whisper these words to me, I must admit that she more than surprised me.
!
But more importantly...who said he was going to leave forever? Since when has such a misunderstanding been created? Why did going home become two couples' drama separating?! My confusion was such that it forced me to look at others to see if they had the same misunderstanding.
Oh? Was it just she who misunderstood the situation? I can guess it just by seeing Sofia and Lucie's teasing smiles.
Then, I nod my head to Sofia, asking her for help.
"Ahem, Lady Evelyne, Lord Kasel just wants to go home to hear from his mother and talk to her. Nothing more or less." Sofia shook her head with her embarrassed smile as she uttered these words in an awkward tone.
"I know, but it just... Letting him alone with this lady... I don't like her. In his current state, nothing is guaranteed."
-Ugh!
"Eve...you know, she's my mum!"
"So what? My father had tried to r*pe me, didn't he?"
"What?!...vampires are so different from humans?! What's this f*cking unthinkable revelation?!"
Here,
It becomes problematic!
At that moment, I already had a deep hatred for such a b*stard! No wonder this girl is so much on her guard towards my mum's actions.
"Exactly, your mother is not a human but a witch! Did you see how Lucie looks at you? They are all the same, witches!" The more she spoke, the more I could feel her grip tighten around me.
I felt like her inner demons had invaded me. Sigh; even if I'm not at fault, it always leaves me bitter when I realize that I know practically nothing about her. Even if she seemed carefree and powerful, she turned out to be as fragile as a butterfly.
I grabbed her hand and ensured she was finally in front of me to hug her again to help her calm down. Even if I knew that her possessive and obsessed behavior was nothing more than her way of expressing her feelings, I did not understand why she was so suspicious of my mom. But now, I think I have an idea of the cause of this mistrust.
I'm not going to reassure her first by telling her that she has nothing more to fear. I must first know the story to know what to do next. But her current state clearly shows me that it is a bad idea to ask for more detail; her minds are unstable... for now.
I unconsciously pet her smooth hair that went down to her butt, thus helping her to relax more and more. Even if I was convinced that she was the same size as my former self, now, I am still taller than her, which made the hug more comfortable and harmonious between us.
But despite everything, I could never hate this woman for anything in the world. She can be a witch, be the demons' queen, or even she can kill me ten thousand times if she wishes; I would always be ready to offer her to take my eleven thousand and first life if she wishes!
"You can come with me if it can reassure you." I proposed after feeling her body relax, followed by her breathing, which had returned to normal. For a girl to feel like that by simply mentioning her father's name, I can't even imagine how much her father could be the worst d*ckhead!
"I'm going with you!" She immediately gave this answer.
"Y-Yeah...awesome," I say, instantly regretting this decision.
Wait!
Is this a good idea?!
Of course not! But if she stays here in this state...I can't resolve to see her like that. It's simply impossible for me to do that, even if I don't know the reason for this mysterious attachment we have.
"No, she will stay here. Milady, there are more important things I have to tell you about. Believe me; they can't be put on hold. Miss Sofia will accompany Milord to prevent him from committing... I mean... to ensure his safety." Following this proposal from Lucie, I could guess that she wanted to announce to her something that she didn't want me to know.
But even with that, I could agree more with her idea. Whether she did it consciously or not, I don't care. The most important thing, and that I didn't want this little demoness to meet my ma in her current state, my mother would risk having problems...I think.
Unlike me, she shook her head firmly. But before she said anything, Lucie added: "I have your grandma's message for you!"
Her grandmother? Mmh, I can roughly guess that she isn't an ordinary person. Otherwise, the little demoness won't calm down as quickly.
Subsequently, I freed her from my hug after feeling her grip loosen on me. An ironic little smile was designed on my lips when I saw her eyes that were always hesitating. I can guess how important this person could be. I can only say one thing to Lucie... Good job, little witch! Maybe... you saved my Mummy!
Then, I kissed her on her lips which had charmed me with their sweetness during our first kiss. Even if she was initially surprised, she still returned my kiss to me boldly. While our lips took each other's advantage, our two tongues embraced each other and danced harmoniously in her mouth like two lovers destined to meet. At the same time, tightening her by her size, almost forgetting the unwanted guests' presence, which had interrupted us before, in the living room.
Lucie turned her eyes away with her hot face as if it was she who was kissed. I must admit that she is strange; she seems to have a twin she houses. More precisely, I seem she has two consciences in her head!
After all, I have to expect everything with these people to no longer be surprised like an idiot. She goes from shy to an eccentric girl who is almost scary just by seeing her eyes shine in the face of mysteries. And currently, as I am the mystery in question, my advice to my dear me is to keep my distance from this kind of girl with such a strange personality.
"Ahem. Lord Kasel, it's time to leave." Sofia replied in a bland tone as she looked at her mistress with dismay.
She was the most annoying who couldn't help but get involved in something that didn't look at her! I think I hate Sofia. Her masochistic side doesn't bother me much, but that's the bad habit she has of interrupting people.
The worst thing about all this was I couldn't even take the risk of scolding her.
Otherwise...she will take this for pleasure!
I broke my euphoric kiss with the intoxicating demoness whose eyes were already starting to turn hot. My smile widened when I saw her lose herself's control, even if my case was the worst of us since I already had yellow irises and garnet pupils!
"Come home after you finish what you have to do." I proposed, without realizing I was inviting a person to leave a luxurious two-floor villa to settle in a small ten-square- apt with only two bedrooms, an interior shower, and a small living room of barely six square meters.
But the masochist woke me up in my fantasy and brought me back to reality hard...
"It's ironic...Lord Kasel. Which house are you talking about? The small cabin that serves as an apt?" She rolled her eyes with a strange smile that seemed to have stabbed my heart like a pious one.
"Urgh! Thank you for your comments, my beloved Sofia. Don't hesitate to advise me often; it will only force me to appreciate you more~." Despite everything, I kept my cool man smile. But my sweet words had a hidden purpose.
And I could guess I had reached the goal by seeing her stagger as she moved away from me with an awful expression as if she had just heard about her grandma's death.
What masochists don't like... is kindness toward them!
It's like a poison that corrupts their souls and makes them dizzy to the point of making them cry blood tears; what strange beings. Hah~, that's what precisely suits me; that's my goal!
I would make this girl vibe if she touches me, I would make her cry blood tears if she still annoys me again... and I would kill her if she attacks me; all this... with my kind and sweet words!
...
'Incredible, this is the first time I've seen this annoying maid with such an expression.' Evelyne had wide eyes as she thought these words in her head.
Her gaze switched between her Darling, who had nailed her annoying maid's beak with a single sentence without the slightest difficulty.
"Don't worry about that, my little Sofia; you already know that everything that belongs to me also belongs to him; I understand that you want to remind me of this detail, but do it differently next time." After hearing Eve's words, Sofia's face turned green with disgust.
"Please, mistress, never imitate Lord Kasel! He's starting to have a bad influence on you!" She pleaded guilty with scary eyes as she looked at me with hostility.
Beloved masochistic little maid, it was only a small warning. Next time you dare to interrupt me, you will suffer a fate worse than death in my hands!
Even if I didn't say these words aloud, she now understands the beast hidden in me. Faced with my triumphant eyes, she looked like a Puppy intimidated by her master. And that precisely was what I wanted her to understand; stay in your place and never interfere between us again, little masochistic puppy.
She looked at me with wide eyes as if she could hear my voice in her head. But I didn't care about her.
I give a little kiss to the little demoness' lips before releasing her and getting ready to leave. "One minute." When I turned to her, after hearing her voice, I saw her handing me a red ring that had a black pearl above it.
"Better to be careful anyway. Wear this sun ring I had already made for you before you became a vampire." She explained to me, following my confusion.
"Mmh, thank you, little demoness," I say with an ironic smile.
Vampires are more...interesting than I had expected. In short, it's not to displease me either.
I took the ring and put it around my left ring finger without noticing my strange actions, which made the two girls laugh and Eve's abnormal redness. "Isn't it supposed to be the opposite?" Lucie whispered these words to Sofia, who seemed to have forgotten my warning.
But she was silent immediately when she crossed my confused eyes. It didn't take me any longer to understand. Even if Lucie had whispered these words, I could clearly hear them with my new sharp senses. Not to mention the redness of Eve...
Ahh, so that was it? An engagement ring, huh? Then what else? Is it even necessary to worry about this detail? Especially since it did not seem to displease this demoness. Heh~, even if I hadn't done it on purpose, I could only be proud of my innate sound.
"Well, are you coming? Or do I have to leave without you?" After these words, I finally managed to get out.
Meanwhile, Sofia wanted to join me and suddenly heard Evelyne's voice. "Kill all vampires who approach him, except his mother, and do the same with the witches. No one should discover his nature before you return. And if you try anything strange with him, I'll take care of your case, Sofia."
"Fufu~ delighted to see you come back to yourself, Lady Evelyne," Sofia grumbled and bowed to her before joining me in the outdoor courtyard.
As I left the villa, I realized that my apt was only a few blocks from hers, which didn't surprise me since she had been watching me for a while.
...
"Tsk, Tsk, I don't trust this girl." Eve slammed her tongue while talking about Sofia after Kasel left.
"Milady... we need to have a serious discussion." Lucie's impassive voice resounded in the living room when she confirmed Kasel and Sofia's leaving.
Her expression had nothing to do with the one she had when Kasel was with them; she had a coldness accentuating her beauty, making her toxic. But on the other hand, it also proved her dangerousness.
"Is it so important to lie by using my grandma's name?" Evelyne's expressionless face was no less threatening than her own.
"Yes, that was the only way to wake you up."
"Sigh, what is it? Because of his hybrid identity?"
"Yes, but not just that. You know well, like me, that if a vampire transforms a human, he will be obedient to him and will in no way be able to go against his master's will because of the bond that unites them." As she spoke these words, her eyebrows frowned.
"..."
But seeing Eve's silence, she continued: "You already seem aware of it. You haven't transformed him!"
Evelyne's eyes turned blood red when she heard Lucie's words. "Tsk, that's precisely why I summoned you urgently! I want to discover the b*stard's identity who dared to steal my darling! I'm going to kill it! I swear to kill the person who dared to play with my Darling!" It is only in this kind of situation that anyone can see that vampires have nothing human in them.
Eve's fangs that bit her lower lip to the point of making her bleed reminded Lucie once again of Evelyne's predator nature.
But being used to even seeing these kinds of crises, especially when it came to Kasel... She no longer loses her calm in front of her. "Sigh; calm down a little, Milady. You know, like me that if the master of a vampire dies...the turned is destined to also die. So if you kill milord's master, it's like--
"I KNOW!" Her high-pitched voice was swarming in the living room, breaking glass windows as scarlet snowflakes appeared around her!
"You're a witch, aren't you? You will have to solve this situation. But for now, we must find the b*stard who dared to do this to me! Even if it's a royal family's noble vampire, I swear to make it pay for this insult!" She said, cracking her right thumb's nail with her fangs constantly squeaking against it.
Lucie, who was always placid, smiled only at her obsession. "You don't have to worry about that."
"Did you find the person's identity in question?" Her eyes had a strange glow that made Lucie shiver for the first time.
"... N-no."
"!"
"Calm down, milady, don't let your feelings obscure your judgment. As you noticed instead, he just looked like a normal human before your attempt at transformation, didn't he?" Lucie immediately gave her Pov when she saw Eve's hostility that now seemed against her.
Her hands began to glow with a purple-black glow as she prepared to defend herself against this unpredictable girl who would attack her.
"So what?!"
Seeing her always keep some mind, Lucie sighed with relief. But the purple-black glow has still not left her hands.
"It's easy to understand for witches who can see people's souls. As for milord Kasel, before concluding, I will reveal something I learned about him no less than ten minutes ago when he was able to see my little Vixy."
-The reason for your race's weakness in the heart is that you possess your vital energy, which is in the form of a pearl in your heart. The more powerful a vampire is, the smaller and harder this pearl becomes to locate. This pearl also allows us to differentiate between a noble vampire and a turned vampire. This pearl is garnet red for aristocratic vampires who are vampires from birth, but it's scarlet red for turned vampires. Can you guess what kind of pearl I saw inside milord's heart?"
She ended her explanation with this question.
But Evelyne, who did not have the luxury of playing with her, only gnashed her teeth; "Stop wasting my time and tell me what happens next." She replied to these words.
"Sigh, it's not funny with you, Milady." She shrugged when she saw Evelyne's non-participation.
She put her hair behind her ear before smiling like crazy. "The soul pearl of lord Kasel is white! As white as that of witches. But that's not all; he has another pearl more garnet like yours!" She said, pointing her finger at Evelyne's chest as her eyes shone slightly with an erratic glow.
"... In other words, He wasn't turned by a vampire, but he was born half-vampire and half-witch. It was perhaps his mother who sealed the abominable powers he inherited! I wanted to talk to you about this information because I am convinced that milord Kasel's father isn't the hunter who disappeared with his sister, but a noble vampire!"
"...Huh? What nonsense are you still telling me about?! Do you think it's time to make blagues?!
"I know it's crazy and impossible, but it's true! I checked his heart several times, thinking my eyes were playing tricks initially."
