Chapter 16 - C16 Fatal Pheromones

Finally, the moment that the world had been waiting for finally came to fruition.

Imperator Dracula Von Death, accompanied by Wolf, Hans, and other Einherjars department heads, made a dramatic entrance that captivated viewers worldwide.

As they clad in their standard issue all-black service uniforms emerged from the dropship, every aspect of their appearance – from the 20 mm pistols and laser-edged combat katanas strapped to their tactical belts – was a display of military excellence and preparedness.

The camera, expertly maneuvered by Morgana's cameraman, zoomed in on the Imperator.

The brief glimpse of Dracula's face, partially obscured beneath his officer's hat, revealed a visage of striking caucasian lady killers features and an air of enigmatic charm.

These reactions highlighted the unique blend of military might, political influence, and unexpected pop culture charisma that Dracula and this historic event embodied.

His presence not only added a new dimension to the interstellar summit but also captivated the hearts and minds of people across Thrae, showcasing how this event transcended politics and entered the realm of cultural phenomenon.

As Imperator Dracula and his entourage stepped into the tunnel formed by the imposing cosmic marines, a palpable shift in the atmosphere could be felt.

The marines, standing like statuesque guardians, suddenly snapped to attention, the synchronized movement echoing with military precision.

Each marine grasped their rifle by the stock with their right armored palm, pressing it between their armored shoulder and arm in a gesture of respect and readiness.

The air vibrated with the deep, resonant roar of the marines, their voices thundering in unison.

"Ave Dracula!"

The sound was not just a salute; it was a powerful declaration of loyalty and strength, resonating through the vicinity and leaving a lasting impression on all who witnessed it.

As Dracula, a figure of both authority and intrigue, passed the first members of the death squad, they too fell into formation with impeccable discipline.

They formed two neat rows behind him, following in his wake like a formidable shadow.

Their presence added an extra layer of solemnity and power to the procession, emphasizing the might and cohesion of the Terranum Imperium's elite forces.

The sight of Dracula, flanked by his death squad and preceded by the thunderous acclaim of the cosmic marines, was a display of military grandeur and leadership.

It was a scene that spoke volumes about the Imperator's command over his forces and the respect he commanded among his ranks.

Observers, from the assembled media to the global audience watching the broadcast, were left in awe.

The scene unfolding before them was like something out of a grand epic, a moment where the lines between reality and the fantastical seemed to blur.

The disciplined roar of "Ave Dracula" echoed not just in the physical space around the United Parliament but across the airwaves, reaching millions around Thrae and leaving an indelible mark on the annals of history.

As Dracula, flanked by his formidable entourage, marched past the area where the media was stationed, the already smitten Morgana who was now In her own world decided to do the unthinkable after getting a sniff of Dracula's body odor.

With a sudden burst of determination, she sprinted forward, her cameraman, caught off guard, reflexively followed her.

They darted towards Dracula, breaching the no-entry zone cordoned off by UNOT's military police armed with live ammunition.

The already schoked military police by the Terrans, were momentarily frozen, unsure how to react to this breach of protocol.

As she approached Dracula, the reporter's usual composure was replaced by a mix of excitement and audacity.

But before she could confront Dracula she and her cameraman got unceremoniously pressed to the ground by death marines who had their muzzles pointed at their heads ready to pull the trigger on Dracula's order.

MC POV

I approached the scene with a composed yet curious demeanor.

As I squatted down to the reporter's level, her unexpected question hung in the air, stunning everyone within earshot.

"Imperator Dracula Von Death, are you single?"

She asked, her tone a blend of boldness and genuine curiosity.

For a brief moment, I was taken aback, dumbfounded by the directness of her inquiry.

What the hell Is this woman crazy?

I cursed In my mind.

However, before I could formulate a response, the head of the medical department approached me with an explanation that added another layer of complexity to the situation.

"Imperator our pheromones are lethal to Thraen females especially yours,"

He informed me, his expression serious.

"And you're only telling me this now?"

I asked with slight Irritation noticeable In my voice.

"Cough* I forgot to mention It In my report"

Jameson reported while coughing as he awkwardly scratched the back of his head with his gloved hand.

Hearing this I couldn't help but facepalm, I focused my gaze on the reporter.

"I'm single but I'm not interested besides even If I was, you a Thraen female couldn't possibly handle me"

I said while looking at the 180 centimeters tall reporter while smirking evilly.

...

As Dracula responded to the reporter's unexpected question, his wry remark about Thraen females being unable to 'handle' him and the mention of Terran pheromones causing instantaneous infatuation among Thraen females sparked a flurry of lively reactions across social media.

Female netizens, in particular, were quick to comment, showcasing a blend of humor, intrigue, and playful fascination while the males could only gnash their teeth In envy.

@GalacticGoddessGrace: "Did Dracula just imply what I think he did? πŸ˜³πŸ˜‚ Talk about confidence! #SizeMatters #DraculaCharm"
