{On the roof of Scathach's mansion}
Krishna sat there with a solemn smile.
'I miss them quite a bit now..... yet staying here and making connections is equally important.'
"A Disciple who seems to be sad and a disciple who is surrounded by women" Scathach walks up to Krishna and stands beside him.
"Master....is what I am doing right? If I was not here you would be closer to Victor and he would be your only disciple."
"Krishna don't think you have control over anyone's life.... whatsoever you know things can go differently at any point of time..... maybe Victor would have never met me.....You too could have just killed Victor and come find me and I would have taken you as a Disciple yet you helped him along the way.... You are a living being in this world now so stop thinking as if you are someone from another timeline changing things around here... accept your identity and do what you wish for."
"you must not limit yourself, live however you want, but you must know the consequences of your choices." Krishna repeated what Scathach had told them during training.
"HAHAHAHAHA yes that is correct."
Krishna felt better and accepted that all opportunities are there for the taking no matter who took them in the different timeline..... still taking Victor's opportunities was against his principles and not very many things were known to him other than what was around Victor which meant that what so ever he wants he has to find it himself.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Krishna laughed like a maniac as a wound that had been there since he met Victor had just healed up...
Scathach looked at her disciple and smiled 'Such troubled and troubling disciples I took in this time.'
Krishna's mentality is still somewhat human..... is that good or bad, only time can tell'
"Well anyways Scathach do you need blood?" Krishna asked smiling knowing the answer full well.
"It will never be enough" Scathach smiled as she created a ice dome around them and a ice sofa.
Krishna sat on the sofa and Scathach sat on his lap her H cups pressed up against his chest.
Scathach eyes glowed blood red " You do know what this means right"
"I know vampires only offer their blood to other Vampires who are close to them like a partner or family and you Scathach Scarlett are in my family you were in from the moment I saw you. so just drink I do not wish to see you irritated just because of some pathetic witch ritual."
"I have lived for 21 years with this bloodlust and now a 10-year-old boy is consoling me, hahaha how interesting!"
"I know you can live with this but I do not wish to see you like that. You are majestic and I will not allow this pathetic blood lust due to this ritual to affect you in any way possible."
Scathach smiles as she licks his neck and then bites into it.
'As good as I first tasted it.'
Krishna grew stronger each time Scathach bit him since System gains more skills from Scathach for Krishna the more she bites him.
The problem is the Scathach's bite brings pleasure to him which is hard to bear so Krishna just hugs her tightly and uses his mana to tease her sacred cave and her breast.
"Hmm~" Scathach tightened her grip on Krishna's neck, and unconsciously, she was regulating her strength so as not to break his neck.
"Ahh~" Scathach stopped drinking Victor's blood, she was finally satisfied, so she started licking his neck like she didn't want to waste anything.
"Your blood is irresistible as always." She spoke as she licked his neck.
Krishna looks at Scathach, and, seeing the seductive smile on her face, he displays his own smile, "Are you satisfied?"
"... How long are you going to keep doing this?" She didn't answer his question, and instead, she asked another question, "I'm not a little girl."
"Indeed, you're not a little girl. But you don't seem to dislike it, right?"
"..." Scathach lowered her face and used her right to remain silent.
Krishna stops stroking the woman's head, brings his hand closer to Scathach's chin, and lifts her face a little higher, looking into his master's green eyes, "Your eyes are back to normal, are you satisfied now? " He asked the same question.
Scathach looked into Krishna's blue-brown eyes which brought a feeling of peace and happiness in her heart.
"For now...." she said as she dissolves the dome into the air and walks away seductively as if to tease him.
Soon the day of the game between Sasha's aunt Victoria Rider against the leader of the Clan Horseman arrived.
As it was an important and festive occasion for Nightingale society, women and men can be seen in elegant clothes walking around the capital.
The capital was in a party mood, and the bored vampires couldn't wait to see what kind of game it would be... But one thing was certain; they were eager for it to be a fight. After all, it's very rare for two Clans with the level of a vampire count's power to fight each other.
Right now Krishna was in the VIP room with Scathach, Ruby, Siena, Eleonor, and Luna.
Scathach had created an ice throne while Krishna seemed to be contemplating something.
"You overthink too much Disciple..... Just do it for what reason did you train? TO BE FREE SO BE FREE!!" Scathach said with a deranged smile on her face.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA" Krishna laughs as a Throne made of mana manifests in Front of Krishna and he sits on it.
Scathach smiles while Eleonor looks wide eyes wide open.....
"WHAT!!!!! HOW CAN HE?"
"Yes he is the only human male who can use magic..... even more surprisingly he has a better command of mana than the witches themselves," Ruby said while sighing yet smiling afterward.
Suddenly a little girl wearing gothic clothes appears in Krishna's lap.
"Uncle"
"Hello little Ophis how are you today."
"Good, Father where?"
"He is on his way sit with Uncle while we wait."
Ophis nods cutely and causes AOE cuteness damage to everyone except Scathach.
Soon Victor and the rest of the girls arrive and Victor creates another Ice throne for himself.
Victor then felt someone sitting on his lap.
"Father."
Seeing the child in the gothic dress, he displayed a gentle smile:
"Hello, Ophis."
The group spreads out and starts to sit on the chairs and sofas in the VIP room.
Victor looks through the glass of the VIP room towards the arena, "Hasn't started yet, huh?" He spoke in a low tone, then he looked at the arena with curious eyes.
Seeing the Plebeian vampires sitting in the stands, he began to inspect everyone; 'That one over there is strong, that one over there is hiding his powers.'
He looked at all the vampires in who he had an interest in and judged their strength. After being trained by Scathach for so long, he could somehow evaluate a person's level based on behavior and a 'feel' that surrounds the vampire.
It's something very difficult to put into words, but it's something like a warrior can know if the other warrior is strong or not.
Sensing a glance in his direction, he turned his face and looked at another VIP room through the glass; the eyes behind his glasses started to glow, and his world turned blood red.
He focused his attention on the individual who had a large red aura surrounding them.
"Heh~" Victor's smile grew distorted.
"Oh? Did you find anyone interesting?" Scathach looks to where Victor was looking.
"If I'm not mistaken, that room is where Victoria's family is." Scathach spoke.
"My Aunt?" Sasha gets up from the couch and walks beside Victor, she looks where Victor is looking but doesn't see anything, she just sees a normal room with totally black glass.
"Interesting... Interesting indeed..." Victor turned his face and ignored them for the time being. He looked into another VIP room and saw a woman and a child sitting in a chair. They were both alone in the room, but Victor could see several vampires protecting the place outside.
Since Ophis was so little not everyone noticed her at first but Victor's wives did.
"F-Father?" Violet, Ruby, and Sasha almost choked.
"KAKAKAKA" Scathach was laughing like crazy.
"Hey, what are you doing!? Get off him!" Violet's jealousy didn't discriminate between gender or age… In a way, Violet's jealousy was true gender equality.
"Stop, Violet. Don't touch her." Scathach suddenly stops laughing and warns Violet with a serious look.
Krishna immediately covered Violet's hands in mana which protected her from Ophis's charm.
"Violet let the child be she obviously needs a little affection" Krishna said while retracting the mana after Violet let go of the child.
Sigh...
"NO! Why is this little girl here!?" She asked in a neutral tone.
"Are you okay, honey?" Victor asked.
Ophis's body trembled slightly when she heard the way Victor called Violet.
"Yes... I am... Why is she here?" She asked again.
"I don't know, she just came out of the blue," Victor replied. He understood that Violet's mood was not good.
"...Are you okay, Darling?" She asked with apprehensive eyes. After all, she personally felt the powers of Ophis.
"Yeah, I don't feel anything," Victor spoke honestly, he didn't feel anything, and he also didn't feel like someone was reading his memories, though he wasn't sure what kind of feeling it would be if someone read his memories.
"..." Everyone except Victor, who was looking at Ophis, looked to Scathach for answers.
"Don't look at me. I don't know either~."
Krishna laughed lightly while Scathach smiled which basically confirmed that she was hiding something.
Suddenly the door opens, and soon everyone can see a woman with long black hair and violet eyes.
Violet turns her face she looks at the woman.
The woman looks into Violet's violet eyes, and, noticing Violet's obvious features, the woman could understand that she was someone from Clan Snow, and only one woman from Clan Snow had violet eyes.
"Who are you, bitch?"
"Sigh…" Everyone except Victor and Scathach sighed when they heard what Violet said.
"What a rude person…who are you?" She already knew who Violet was, but for some reason, she didn't want to lose this dispute.
"I asked first."
"…" The woman didn't want to answer.
"Princess, are you sure she's here? We must not enter this place in such a rude way…." The guard was terrified.
"Why are you afraid?"
"Kakakaka, you're as clueless as ever, Elizabeth."
"S-Scathach." The woman stuttered. Now she understood why the guard was scared.
"How's that old man doing?" Scathach spoke.
"...He's the king, you know?"
"Do I have the face of someone who cares?"
"…" Elizabeth was speechless, she knew that the only person who could speak those words so casually was Scathach, and for the sole reason that she was strong!
Elizabeth ignores everyone and looks at the second ice throne, she walks a little to the left, and soon she sees Ophis lying on Victor's chest.
'Again? Did she find him because of the mark?' She glanced at Victor, who was sitting on an ice throne, and then she looked around again, and seeing several women of high social standing, Elizabeth's curiosity was flickering frantically.
She even tried to use the king's shadows to find information on Victor, but they didn't find anything, actually... They haven't returned yet, and she didn't think too much about why they haven't.
'They have been eliminated...or are being tortured.' She thought. She knew Scathach's personality well, and if someone broke into her house, that was the fate of fools who tried to break into her home.
"...Just who are you?"
Victor looked at Elizabeth and flashed a small smile, "My name is Victor... Didn't I say?"
"…" Elizabeth wanted to hit the ground in frustration now!
"Bitch, don't look at him. You're going to infect him with some kind of dangerous disease." Violet spoke.
"Huuh?" Veins began to pop in Elizabeth's head, she was a noble person and could ignore some insults, but she was not a saint who would take insults in silence.
"Why don't you go away and take this-…child with you?" Violet didn't want to insult a child since even she knew it was something horrible. Though, the little girl didn't do anything.
"Shoo, Shoo." She spoke as if she were talking to a dog.
"...I'm still a princess, you know?" She commented with a fake smile, "I can make you disappear-" She couldn't finish her words.
She suddenly felt very heavy, and an overwhelming feeling engulfed her entire body, her body broke out in a cold sweat, and slowly, she turned her face away.
When she looked into Victor's blood-red eyes that were visible even through the glasses he was wearing; her whole world seemed to go colorless:
"...Repeat what you said," Victor spoke with a cold tone that sent shivers down Elizabeth's spine. He could ignore arguments; after all, his wives did that constantly. He thinks it's a woman thing. But threats? Those he did not tolerate.
"I- I..."
"Princess!" The guards ran, but suddenly a much greater pressure than Victor fell on them.
Quickly, they stopped walking and looked at Scathach.
"Good, if you took one more step, I would have to hand your heads over to the king~." She flashed a crazy smile. Then, she snaps her fingers, and thorns of ice begin to hover over all the guards.
They gulped and didn't dare move. Although they had a duty to protect the princess, they didn't want to lose their lives uselessly. They knew that if Scathach killed them, nothing would happen to her.
"Disappointing." She hoped they would fight. Then, at least she would have an excuse to kill them all.
Soon she lost interest in the guards and looked at Victor, she was interested in what he was going to do.
"I'm waiting..." He slowly tapped the ice throne with his finger, like he was counting.
The sound of his finger touching the ice made the situation even more terrifying for Elizabeth.
Elizabeth tried to ignore the fear in her heart and slowly began to gather her powers. Then, her eyes changed to blood red, and an overwhelming pressure began to leave her body.
"Oh?"
Confidence restored, Elizabeth displays a cold smile, "I'm still a princess... And I can make her disappear at any time, no matter if she's a daughter of Clan Snow or not." She repeated what she said and added the ending as if it were an absolute truth.
Victor's eyes glowed brighter, and his pressure began to build.
"…" Everyone was expecting a fight to start at any moment, but something happened that left everyone with no reaction.
Victor's pressure disappeared as if it had never existed.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA" He started laughing like crazy, and slowly he began to clap his hands.
"Good! Good! That's the spirit! If not, I would be disappointed!"
But then suddenly an even greater pressure surround the room... the guards just fainted while Elizabeth took a step back when she saw Krishna looking at her. she could see a blue eye even through the black aviators he was wearing.
"Victor might forgive you but if I actually saw you move against my family even as a warning then war is the only option you will have left and as you have already done that once please do watch your step or you might just lose things most precious to you."
Saying this Krishna stopped looking at her and resumed scanning the crowd.
Scathach just displayed a big smile on her face, she looked pleased with something.
"Believe me, Princess..." Victor's image began to blur. "Before you can touch a strand of my wife's hair…-"
"You would die." Victor appeared behind Elizabeth and spoke in a low voice in her ear.
At this point, Elizabeth was genuinely scared which was a new feeling for her.
Victor disappears behind Elizabeth and appears sitting on the ice throne he created.
"Fast~"
"HaHaHaHa, did you like it, Ophis?"
"Mm," She nodded.
"Is different." She pointed to herself.
"Hmm? Yeah, what I did is something different than what you do."
"Different..." Ophis seemed to be thinking deeply about something, but actually, she was just enjoying Victor's caresses.
"She seems attached to you, Victor." Scathach spoke.
"Yeah, but I don't care; she's cute." Victor displayed a gentle smile.
"And that man there tries to hog her attention way too much."
he said while pointing towards Krishna.
"HUH!! just cause she calls you father does not mean you have any more right to coddle her than me" Krishna looks at Victor and beams of lighting seem to come out of their eyes
Realizing that Victor wasn't doing anything else, Elizabeth began to slowly calm down.
Not just her, everyone started to calm down.
"Fuaaa..." Pepper lets out all the trapped air she's been holding, "That was intense...I never saw Krishna that angry." She spoke in a low voice.
"Really... I really can't understand these two anymore. they are becoming too unpredictable; this is bad for my heart." Lacus spoke in a joking tone to alleviate the situation.
"It's our mother's fault... It's all her fault...she made my loving Krishna into a battle maniac too...." Siena said.
"…" The three sisters agreed.
"I'm glad nothing happened..." Yuki's heart was beating very fast, she didn't want to fight the king's family; that was just suicide! But... As a vampire, she liked Victor's attitude... But that's something she'll never say out loud!
"What are you doing, Maria?" Luna asked curiously.
"Nothing," Maria replied, she made a gesture with her hand, and soon, all the wires she had spread around the room began to be collected. She acted on instinct, but internally, she didn't know why she did it. 'Why was my first reaction was to try to protect that man? Is it because of the master's order? But the master didn't order me to protect Victor...'
"Darling~" Violet had a silly smile on her face, she wanted to hug Victor, but that child! That child was stealing her place!
"Princess, have you ever heard a Chinese proverb that said: because of a nail, the shoe was lost; because of the horse, the message was lost; because of the message, the war was lost."
"...I've never heard of it." Elizabeth continued to speak as her eyes slowly turned to violet.
"The lesson this proverb teaches is quite simple to understand…." As he stroked Ophis' head, Victor looked up at Elizabeth with a small innocent smile on his face:
"Because of a mistake made by someone, an entire war was lost... Everything is connected. So remember, it only takes one small mistake for an entire empire to fall to ruin."
"..." Elizabeth felt her whole body go cold when she heard Victor's words:
"Is this another threat?"
"Threat? Pfff... The threat was what my brother said to you this is just advice."
"..." Elizabeth was silent, "I see... I will remember this."
Then she turns her face away and looks at Krishna, Scathach, Ruby, and Sasha:
"What is your relationship with them?"
"They are my wives." He replied.
"...W-Wh?" She thought for a moment that she was deaf.
He pointed to Scathach, "She's my mother-in-law and my teacher."
"Hi~, I'm his mother-in-law~" She spoke with a gentle smile as she waved her hand.
He pointed to Krishna, "He is my brother and closest friend."
"Hello again" Krishna replied with his trademark smile.
He pointed to the three sisters, "Those are my Brother's lovers over there. Oh, you can exclude Siena; she does not have my approval yet."
"Pfft." Pepper almost started to laugh but stopped when she saw Siena's gaze.
Lacus shook her head when she saw her sister's attitude.
"That one is my maid." He pointed at Yuki.
"..." Yuki made a simple gesture of respect.
He looked at Maria and flashed a small smile as if he understood something, "She's Sasha's maid."
"..." Maria repeated Yuki's gesture.
Victor looks at the guards, who are lying on the ground, and ignores the men.
"T-Three...?" Elizabeth tries to process everything she has heard, 'he is married to two heiresses of houses with the title of count, and a former heir to the title of the count... And he is the disciple of Scathach!?'
"Kakakaka, she broke completely." Scathach chuckled when he saw Elizabeth's expression.
"Are you sure about telling the princess about your relationship with these women?"
"Do I look like I care? It's not like it's a secret."
"hahahahaha, you're right."
Krishna said, "Scathach, don't overdo it."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"Don't eliminate the rats, just torture them."
"Oh? Do you know?"
Krishna just used divine sense to poke at her.
"...This is a very convenient skill."
"Indeed."
"Why don't you want me to eliminate the rats?"
"It's a waste."
"Waste?"
"Yeah… If they're dead, we can't fight them. Why didn't you kidnap them and use them as a training puppets for your daughters? After all, they are strong."
"..." Scathach looked at Krishna as if she were looking at a genius:
"Fuck, why didn't I ever think about it?" She puts her hand to her forehead in disbelief.
"You're very overprotective, I love that about you, but you need to let your daughters train a little," Krishna commented casually. He also wanted to fight those men she eliminated.
"..." Scathach looked at Krishna with a neutral expression, 'Did he really not understand what he just said?'
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Suddenly everyone heard the voice of the advertiser.
"The game between Clan Rider and Clan Horseman is about to begin!"
"Finally..." Victor said he hoped to see something interesting.
Hearing the advertiser's voice, the women stopped what they were doing and looked out into the arena.
Everyone, including the audience, was soon able to see four individuals walking towards the middle of the arena.
"That's my aunt."
The woman had long blonde hair and blue eyes, she was wearing a long elegant black dress, and she had a gentle smile on her face as she walked towards the center.
The game was starting...
