When they reached the gates they saw Sasha exit a portal.
"Another visitor, today has been a strange day, it's Lady Sasha." Siena walked up to her.
Sasha's gentle smile fades from her face, and she assumes a neutral expression, "Siena, it has been a while since we have seen each other."
"Indeed. I know it's useless to ask this, but what are you doing here?"
"I came to see my husband," Sasha said.
"...As expected," She sighed, she flips her hair to her back and says, "Do you want some advice?"
"No, thank you." Sasha turned her face away and started walking towards the forest.
"..." Siena just gaped when she saw Sasha rejecting her goodwill.
She disappears and appears beside Sasha.
"What? I'm in a hurry." Sasha looked at Siena.
"Listen to me, young people these days are very rushed…" She sighed, then she continued
"In vampire history, there has never been a man who was married to 3 heiresses from powerful families-" She was going to start giving a sermon on Sasha.
"Yes, Yes." Sasha interrupted Siena, "If the younger vampires find out about this, they'll be jealous, and if the older vampires find out about it, they'll think the three most powerful families are allying, Blah, Blah."
Sasha looks coldly at Siena, "Are you treating me like a child? I know what I'm doing, and if a problem happens, my husband and I will fix it. So your advice is useless, and you keep losing time telling me this nonsense. And, are you going to look for a man to put out your fire?"
"..." Siena's eyes flashed blood red, she was clearly annoyed.
"Alright ladies! no need to fight one is clearly a bit angry from the circumstances and one is only trying to help so let's not fight."
"Oh, Krishna..... did Siena beat you?? why are you with her when all she will do is call you cattle and degrade you."
Nerves appear on Siena's forehead.
"hahaha no no Siena here was helping me train and now we are going to see where the rest of the people are so let's go together."
"Ok"
The trio walk into the forest toward the sound of people talking.
as they reach the clearing where Victor was training they hear Violet and Scathach talking.
"A man who has been exploited all his life? A man with the only quality of being handsome? A man who exists only to satisfy his mother's vanity?"
"Boring~"
"Adonis?",Krishna says as he hears the description of the man.
Violet makes a confused face.
"How do you know my father?"
"History has a man named adonis with similar description...Human history of course."
Scathach makes a amuzed face,
"Yeah that same adonis, he is a vampire now..... has been for quite a long time."
"Are you disappointed?",Scathach looks intensely at Krishna reading his every reaction.
I look up remembering about all the heroes that I read about..... and their ends. Is everything fake ... the progenitors they are real but each death is very sad.... no each death is pathetic its as if the bloodline does not wish to be with a sensible human or no sensible human accepts the progenitor position..... why is it like that? does it even matter.
I look down at Scathach and her intense eyes.
'A strange resolve was reinforced in me. Even if the heroes of the past died tragically through betrayal or they were just god's plaything....matters not what does matter is who I wish to be, Humanity's hero! nahhhh that was never even a choice, I wish to be free I wish to be powerful enough to help who I want and when I want. Even if the Gods are against me I should never be afraid enough to run away..... and most importantly I must be strong enough to keep my family alive and stay alive for them.'
I smile derangedly at Scathach.
"No, it does not bother me a bit. If a strong being can do what he wants if they wish to be a hero then good for them... they will be remembered by generations to come, songs and poems will be written about them..... But that is all they will be, characters in the song soon to be remembered as only myth and then forgotten."
"I wish to be strong... Stornger than any god stronger than any being who wishes to tell me how to live my life..... Stronger than any entity who wishes to bind me with these pathetic rules which the strong use only when it benefits them..... Strong enough so that my family can do what it wants and nobody can even say a curse along their name.....Stronger so that I have to never say that If only I was stronger I could have done it....STRONGER SO THAT NOBODY CAN EVER TREAT ME LIKE A PUNY INSECT EVER AGAIN!!"
by the end of the answer Krishna's aura exploded as if his chains had been lossened and his eyes shined with a new determination.
Scathach flashed a distorted smile.
'Yess this is it! These kinds of goals and ideals are needed to surpass a limit and this man has none!!'
Her breathing turned into gasping and she shivered a little.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, That's the man I call brother" Victor walked up to Krishna with a distorted smile after the aura disappeared.
"Rest for 3 days you both, training will begin then" Scathach disappeared before anybody could see her expression.
Out in the forest, Scathach was smiling and gasping while jumping from tree to tree and her body shivered a little from time to time.
'Finally, someone who wishes to climb to the peak. Someone who wishes to not be bound by any higher power! and he even has Ideals like mine! and the Potential! oh'
Scathach shivers a little while her face was now red and she was unconsciously showing a deranged smile that showed all her sharp teeth.
Back at the group Lacus, Pepper and Siena looked at Victor and Krishna with pity.
"I hope you don't get traumatized...", Lacus says with a sigh
"Sniff, Sniff~" Pepper starts to get watery eyes, and she falls to the ground, "...I don't want my new friend to die!"
"It's okay, Sister…" Lacus massaged Pepper's back, "Victor won't die, I fought him, and I know he's strong… He'll just be a little traumatized, but that's normal. "
Then she looks at Krishna, "You will be fine too...Just try not to get too traumatized I do not wish to see the only Human of this generation who could earn my Mother's approval give up just due to trauma."
"…." Sasha looked at Pepper, Lacus and Siena.
"Aren't you exaggerating?"
"They are not exaggerating," Violet spoke with a lifeless face, she seemed to be thinking about something.
"That crazy witch is very spartan; remember she is over 2000 years old, and her training is not 'ordinary' for today," she still remembers the time when she came to visit Ruby after training. Her friend had dead eyes, and when she heard Ruby narrate her training, Violet felt her body shudder.
While everyone was dreading the training that they were not even going to receive the ones who were going to receive it were smiling like two Madmen.
"It's gonna be fun" Victor says
"Yeah!" Krishna agrees with him.
Siena wonders if She would ever find another Human as crazy as this one and little smile appears on her face.
A few hours later|
Victor, Violet and Sasha took off on their own into the forest while Krishna went with the sisters back to the castle.
"So Krishna any hobbies?" Lacus asked
"Well Training, Video games, Novels, Anime" Krishna replied
"ANIME!!!" Pepper practically jumped and stood in front of Krishna with sparkling eyes and started asking a bunch of questions.
"Which ones have you watched, what are your favorites, what is your favorite genre."
"hahaha calm down pepper let's go back to the castle and watch some anime, I can answer your questions on the way."
"YAAY!"
"I will join you two." Lacus said while walking.
"Siena?" Krishna asked while removing some mana from his face to let the Blessing do its magic on Siena.
'Was he always this handsome...! what am I thinking!!? ... he asked me something right? well It won't be too bad to relax a little but I have work to do."
While Siena was having this discussion in her mind Krishna moved close to Siena and bend down to keep his face right in front of hers since Krishna was now 195 cm in height while Siena was just 180.
"!!" Siena's heart rate spiked and she blushed on seeing Krishna's face so close to hers.
"You ok? You will join us right" Krishna asked while grinning since he could see his plan was working.
"OK OK I WILL COME NOW BACK UP A LITTLE." Siena practically screams this while turning her face and closing her eyes
"You know you could have just backed up a little to get away right.... there is nothing behind you."Krishna smiled while Lacus and Pepper tried to stop their laughs seeing their cold sister blushing like an anime character.
Siena's face goes full red and as she hears the laughing sound of her sisters she runs behind them "How dare you two laugh at your big sister!!! come here right now."
A joyful atmosphere was created as Siena chased after her two sisters while all three of them laughed and Krishna followed them with a smile on his face.
Soon they reached the castle and were led by Pepper to a big room with a sofa in the middle and a big flat-screen TV in front of it. The walls have thousands of anime CDs, Mangas and such, Behind the sofa is a big king-size four-poster bed.
"Pepper you have way too many of these things.", Siena comments while looking at the shelves
I start patting Siena's head while looking around.
"HEY!!!! STOP THAT" Siena moves away hiding a blush.
"I thought we were good friends?" I said with a sad face.
"Yes we are but do this to Pepper she like this...."
I smile and sit on the sofa.
Siena sits on my left while Pepper sits to my right, and Lacus sits next to Pepper.
A few minutes into the episode Krishna starts patting Pepper who seemed surprised at first but did not stop him just became red as a tomato.
'Cute!' I thought
Siena notices this and she becomes annoyed for some reason. Krishna notices this and uses his left hand to start Patting Siena again.
'Did he see me staring!!... no he is not even looking here. Is he doing this subconsciously?.... well nothing wrong with some head pats.... it's nice....I suppose'
Lacus sees this and smiles while looking at Krishna, He looks at her and smiles back.
***************
When Krishna had been watching anime for an hour a portal opened up in Ruby's room.
Passing through the portal, Ruby finds herself in her personal room.
"My room…" She looks around and realizes that nothing has changed since she left the house.
"Oh?" Hearing a surprised voice, Ruby looks towards the voice and sees her mother:
"Mother!"
"Daughter, you've finally come back; I was wondering if I would have to kidnap you too." Scathach exhibited a loving little smile.
Hearing what her mother said, Ruby sighed, "Where are my sisters?"
"All three of them are watching that weird show that Pepper watches with Krishna." Scathach says with a slight smile.
"Pepper and Lacus I understand but Siena?"
"I don't know maybe Krishna got her to go with them" Scathach chuckles a little.
she looked at Luna, and her eyes lit up, "Is everything ready?" She asked with a small smile on her face.
"Yes, whatever Countess Scathach asked me to do, I'm done," Luna spoke in a respectful tone.
"Good. Good!"
Scathach can't help but smile a little more, she can't wait for three days to pass soon!
Ruby sighed inwardly when she saw her mother's interest in Victor; 'Darling will be left with eternal scars after this training.'
"Luna, this is my house; I want you to treat them like my guests," Ruby said while pointing to Natalia and Maria.
"Hmm, even the Ghoul?" Luna asked to be sure.
"Don't call her that, she has a name, and yes... Even her." Ruby spoke.
"As expected from Lady Ruby, you are very kind!"
Ruby looked at Luna
"Wrong, I'm not nice; that's just basic etiquette."
"Yes, I know!" Luna smiled with a smile that said, 'I understand everything!'
"No, you don't understand" Ruby rolled her eyes and explained, "Maria is Sasha's problem; it's my friend who should solve this problem. I'll only get involved if she asks for help, and since she didn't, that's not my problem yet."
"Yes! As expected from Lady Ruby! You have a kind heart!" Luna flashed a smug smile.
"..." Ruby looked at Luna with a tired expression.
"Forget it," Ruby gave up.
"Come, daughter, let's talk" Seeing that the conversation ended, Scathach spoke to Ruby, then she started walking toward the exit of the room.
"Okay," Ruby nodded and started to follow her mother, she looked at Luna for a moment with a face that said, 'do your job'.
Luna looked at Natalia and Maria, "Come on; I'll accompany you two to the personal rooms."
"Pass," Natalia held up her hand, saying.
"Hmm?" Luna looked at Natalia curiously.
Natalia explained, "I went back to Nightingale, my work as a Maid is temporarily stopped until my master Violet leaves this town, so I'm on vacation~."
"... Envy~" Luna commented, she wanted a vacation too, but due to the mistake she made a few days ago, she thinks it's going to be difficult for her to get a vacation.
Natalia flashed a small smile when she heard what Luna said, she walked towards Ruby's wardrobe, then snapped her fingers.
She opens Ruby's wardrobe and sees that the interior of the wardrobe has changed to a portal, she looks at Luna and says, "I'm going to go back to my clan, and enjoy my vacation days, seeya~."
Soon she goes through the portal, and the moment she goes through the portal, the portal is closed.
"…Now that I've stopped to think about it, isn't she a human? What is a human doing in the vampire world?" Maria asked.
"Hmm? That is not so uncommon; humans can always come to this world at the invitation of noble families. Normally, humans of high status in society are the guests... and that woman's family is just very special; they are direct servants of the king of vampires himself."
"..." Maria looks at Luna with a bit of shock, she never thought Natalia would have such a deep background, she thinks a bit about what she heard in the past when Victor was kidnapped, "Clan Alioth, huh?"
"Oh? How do you know that?"
"I've heard Master talking in the past," Maria replied.
"Oh..." Soon her face darkened a little, "You're not supposed to know that woman is part of the Clan who is the direct servant of the king..."
"..." Maria was speechless when she heard Luna.
"...Is this supposed to be a secret?" Maria asked.
"I do not know...?" She spoke doubtfully, "I think so? But seeing Maria's ability, everyone in the vampire world will associate her with that Clan's servant... Only ordinary humans shouldn't know anything."
"...So I think it's okay? I'm not a human anymore; I've become ... that." She said the last part in disgust.
"... Make sense," Luna said, and soon dropped the subject, she started walking towards the exit, "Come on, I'll show you to your room."
"Okay."
