"What?!" spoke Isobel with Vicki at the same time when they heard what Elizabeth said.
Celeste just opened her eyes wide but stayed quiet.
"We are not going to do anything..." Elizabeth repeated herself with a wide, mischievous smile, imagining the reaction of the king.
'HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, you are going to finally pay for what you've done to my family!'
Celeste smiled.
"You want revenge, right?" and got up from the chair.
Elizabeth just looked at her with the same smile, nodding her head repeatedly.
"Fine then, I'm taking your side in this," said Celeste and the two then looked at the couch where was Vicki and Isobel.
Vicki got up and with widened eyes, she silently left to pack her things.
When she was away, Isobel got up too "Ughh, fine, you won. But, you know that other vampires are going to try to steal our daughters from him, right?"
Celeste's and Elizabeth's eyes turned lifeless as they looked into Isobel's eyes which turned lifeless too, just like theirs when she thought about the other possibility.
"I'm not concerned about our daughters, but about those bitches that are going to try to steal Christopher away from ME!" escaped Celeste's lips and the remaining two countesses looked at her.
Understanding what she said she corrected herself "Sorry, I mean them... Or us?"
"Haaah, let's wait and see. And if some bitch would try that, we are going to personally kill her. We need to protect our daughters right?" said Isobel in an excited tone while Celeste with Elizabeth nodded.
And with a big smile, they left the dayroom without understanding that they were the ones, who were trying to steal their daughters' husbands for themselves.
[... Past Memories ... A day when Christopher woke up after being almost killed by the curse attack from Etalon ...]
Christopher was lying on a two-sided bed with his hands placed on each side of the bed.
It's the same image that his mother saw in her vision.
Around him were standing the countesses, hugging their crying daughters.
Claudia, who until now thought of Celeste as her aunt, began to think of her as her mother during the days when Christopher was lying on the bed.
She was the closest member of her clan's family and during these past days, she was the one who was standing behind her and comforting her.
Suddenly, Vicki pulled away from her mother and jumped at Christopher's body, sitting on his lap with her legs on each side of his thighs.
She started hugging him "Wake up darling... Today is the day when we met for the first time! You remember right?"
"W-we have an anniversary you know... YOU NEED TO BE HERE!!"
"V-Vicki stop" Rose pulled away from her mother too, wanting to take Vicki away, but when she reached for her, Christopher lifted his hand in a stopping sign.
Everyone, except for Vicki who didn't see it, opened their eyes wide and immediately smiled.
'Stupid son-in-law, I wonder how long are you awake! You deserve punishment!' Elizabeth thought.
These past few days, she was the one who was near his bed most of the time.
She didn't know why but something was drawing her towards him.
Vicki, who after her burstout lay on Christopher's chest suddenly felt someone's hand on her head, caressing her hair gently.
She immediately stopped crying and looked at Christopher who was smiling at her with a small tear in his eyes.
"That was pretty emotional" he commented with a silly smile.
Vicki's face lit up as she started rubbing herself against him like a kitten with Rose and Claudia, who at some point mysteriously appeared on the bed too.
The three countesses wearing violet, red, and black dresses smiled, feeling something they hadn't felt in their hearts for a long time.
Isobel, wearing a long, violet dress with an opening on her left thigh that led down to her left foot, was touching her chest with a little blush, forming on her cheeks.
Celeste, wearing a long, black dress with a deep neckline that had a golden lace around it and an opening on each side of her hips that led to her feet, was touching her slightly blushed face like a certain pink-haired yandere girl from an anime.
And Elizabeth, wearing a sparkling, long, red dress that were showing her shoulders and gorgeous neckline, was feeling the ice cage, that she built around her heart a long time ago, slowly melting for some reason.
Maybe it was the peace that suddenly hit their hearts or they imagined themselves in their daughters' places, who knows.
All they knew was that they wanted this feeling forever.
And it was at this moment that a family of powerful individuals falling in love with the same man was born.
"Hahahahaha, ohh I missed this. I missed you, all of you~" said Christopher and hugged his three wives in a tight embrace.
The three wives just hugged him tighter too and said "We missed you too darling" at the same time but when the three countesses heard what Christopher said, the slight blush on their faces intensified.
Now, even Elizabeth was touching the area of her cold heart and with each deep breath, her chest was rising up and down in a very attractive way.
'I- I just met him, Why I'm starting to have these feelings!' she thought and looked out the window.
With just one look, Christopher knew what are the three countesses thinking, so he just smiled internally, because now, when they showed their feelings, they could no longer leave him.
Thinking that he should really start to enjoy the present and forget the past, he began to form a plan in his dark mind to not just conquer the hearts of the daughters but the mothers as well.
And with these thoughts, he was enjoying the embrace of his three wives and the looks of unawareness in the eyes of his mothers-in-law...
[... Present ...]
After visiting his parents, Christopher was slowly walking towards his school.
'Ardelean, I forgot to ask something...' taught Christopher as he passed the gate and stepped onto the school grounds.
Looking around, he saw a big courtyard filled with students, wearing school uniforms.
["What do you want to know?"] asked Ardelean and Christopher continued.
'How can The Darkness possess someone when its soul is locked in the light prison?'
After the question, he started walking towards the main door of his school, while every girl was stunned when they saw him, thinking 'Is that... Christopher?'
Other girls started thinking 'He's hot', 'His scent is delicious', and 'Who is he?'
Christopher was looking straight at the door, ignoring the dreamy glances of those female students, while waiting for Ardelean's response.
Right now, he was wearing a snow-white suit with a white shirt and blood-red tie.
Somehow, these past few days, he fell in love with white suits and red details.
["It's because light can't stop it. Light is just slowing and weakens its power but can't stop it completely."]
["So if The Darkness gains a new host, it can escape and destroy the entire universe once and for all."] Ardelean smirked.
Christopher nodded internally and asked again ' And why do you wanna help it?'
["I don't..."] answered Ardelean and before Christopher could ask more, someone shouted from behind.
He turned around and saw the most hated person in this school.
"Hahahahaha is it you Christopher?" asked the boy and started walking towards him with his few friends.
Christopher's face formed a wide smile as he started walking towards them.
''Yes, it's me Jack Dean'' he answered and stopped in the middle of the courtyard.
Jack and his crew stopped in front of him and pulled up their sleeves.
"Do you think that you can just come here after what you did? Hehehe you're wrong."
All the girls narrowed their eyes dangerously at Jack and his crew.
Instinctively, feelings of protecting this handsome man began to build in their hearts as Christopher started laughing like a madman when he heard what Jack said.
Jack narrowed his eyes.
'Is he laughing at me!' he thought and before anyone could react, Jack punched Christopher in his stomach with his right fist.
As Christopher bent down a little and then, Jack kicked the left side of Christopher's face with his foot, which made Christopher kneel on the ground but something, in the back of his head was telling him to stop.
Ignoring this voice, Jack's face formed a wide maniacal smile when he saw Christopher kneeling on the ground, but when he wanted to kick him again, Christopher grabbed Jack's leg.
"Hahahaha" Christopher chuckled and looked at him, still holding his leg.
"I'm not impressed," he said and sent Jack flying towards the school entrance.
Landing on the three stairs that were in front of the school doors, Jack's eyes widened.
'That can't be!' he thought.
Christopher got up from the ground and before Jack's friends could react, they were lying on the ground with Christopher standing in front of them.
They were trembling in fear because when Christopher touched them, Ardelean showed their minds what would happen if they intervened in this business.
The four boys got up and started running away, scared.
"Heh, Cowards" was all that Christopher said, before he turned and started slowly walking towards Jack with a blood-thirsty smile.
With each step, Jack started shaking more and more, as the girls were watching Christopher with admiration and desire.
Mainly one.
"Who is it?" a girl asked her friend who was standing next to her.
They were hidden in the crowd and their gazes never left Christopher's body.
Watching him, the two felt a deep similarity and some type of connection.
The girls were wearing the school uniform, but the one that asked had black gothic fishnet stockings on her legs and the other had similar black stockings but with bats on them.
"His name is Christopher Salvatore," said the girl with fishnets, having the two buttons on her white shirt undone.
Her hair was black and tied in a ponytail and her eyes were glowing a little with a red light.
The black angular glasses she is wearing are helping her to cover the glow of her eyes and at the same time, she looks even more beautiful thanks to them.
"W-what did you just say Alice?" asked the other girl in a little shocked tone.
She had blond hair tied in a ponytail too and with the same two undone buttons on her shirt.
Alice looked at her friend and repeated herself "His name is Christopher Salvatore and yes Sophia, he's the one who saved us from that village."
Sophia started trembling and when she was about to run towards Christopher like a delinquent and obsessed lover, Alice stopped her.
"What are you doing?!"
"What do you think? I want to hug my fiance!" said Sophia with an excited tone and turned her gaze back at Christopher.
Alice's eyes narrowed as she said "But he's not your fiance anymore, he's already married..."
The last words came from Alice with hidden anger and irritation.
When Sophia heard that, her eyes turned lifeless and her teeth started getting sharper.
"Who is that bitch?! Who stoled him?!" she said and as she turned, her eyes started glowing blood red.
Alice just facepalmed and casually answered "Vicki, Rose, and Claudia."
Sophia's mood worsened even more when she heard those names.
"WHAT?! THOSE B..." She wanted to say more but another girl with pink hair, wearing the same uniform as them, grabbed her mouth from behind and winked at Alice.
"I told you to wait," said the pink-haired girl and started pulling Sophia towards the corner of the school building.
Alice smiled "I know, sorry Evie. I couldn't help myself."
Evie nodded and Alice bent down, picking up Sophie's legs, helping Evie to carry Sophie away.
