Nikolai leaned against the black sofa overlooking the city. His new apartment felt extremely different from the past that he couldn't help but feel a slight discomfort. He knew it would take a while to feel at home, so he tried to push that feeling to the back of his mind.
'Well... Should I do this for her or not?'
He looked down at the message from Selene and felt conflicted.
[Selene T Deposited into Saver Account: $50,000]
[Current Account Every day balance: $5,631,055]
Selene already sent the money for the job, which made him feel a little grateful. In the past, he worked for hours and wouldn't receive any payments after finishing the work, and Selene here paid him far too much money for the work he did.
[That's just how this world works for squires. Money is all a master can give to keep their full loyalty.]
'Well, it's not like I'm really and her control anyway. Does she even realise that?'
[I doubt it. There hasn't been an existence in the past that could ignore a master as a squire... Yet you have two 'masters' right now, which makes things a little complicated.]
He rolled his neck, enjoying the cracking sound his neck made, before climbing from his sofa. Nikolai didn't mind because it meant he could take his M9 Excelsior for a spin.
'Let's get started, shall we?'
Nikolai grabbed the M9 Excelsior keys, slinging them into his pocket while whistling. He then walked over to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of vanilla cola and left his apartment wearing his black suit for leisure.
'I'm glad we have the technology to make a cola that doesn't taste like chemicals anymore and has no sugar with all the great taste.'
He sat in the underground parking area while waiting for the lift to adjust; the feeling of his memory foam leather seats felt amazing as he adjusted the seat and placed both hands on the wheel, ready to head to the Scarlet University—it wasn't far. Located close to the north-west of the city.
The M9 Excelsior, as a high-end car, had a large glass window at the top of the car, and the entire window was tinted to ensure no one could see inside. The driver and passenger side windows also had a small button to change the tint if necessary.
—This is S-City Radio~ welcome to the three o'clock news just in! Reports of young women going missing have increased drastically over the past month...
Also, in the news, be careful; there is reported gang activity in the south and eastern parts of the city during the evening! Keep safe and call the SSS when you feel in danger!
'This radio... is it talking about Nikita's gang?'
After reaching the main road, he pressed a button to change the car into manual mode and accelerated. The M9 Excelsior moved quickly, and he was impressed at how smoothly the car drove while reaching intense speeds. What made Nikolai the most excited was his driving skills, and his senses seemed to synergise to make it easier to handle and drive at high speed.
He swerved around the corner, sliding the car before reaching the main entrance and turning the car off.
"Now, this is a car," Nikolai said while admiring the black beauty.
"What an idiot." A female voice sounded from behind him and caused Nikolai to turn to the source.
A beautiful girl with short blonde hair and crimson eyes stood wearing a rather revealing skirt and tight strapless top with her black bra on full display stood waiting at the gate with her phone and a frustrated look.
'This girl... why is she picking a fight with me?'
"Huh? What are you looking at? Look at your cheap suit... you might be handsome, but you can't afford to even speak to me!"
She looked at the car and raised her chin, looking down at him. Despite being shorter than Nikita, her height was tragic, and Nikolai noticed her body language.
'This girl is probably a spoiled rich brat.'
The next moment, he received another message from Selene with a number that she asked him to call to find her sister. Apparently, she ran away from the Dean and was trying to escape punishment.
[From Selene (Arrogant, Erotic D-Cup)]
— Here is her number: xxx-xx-xxxx-xx-xxx. Try to avoid her getting away; she's sneaky and likes to trick people into following her whims.
'I see... just like her sister then. But how does she have a sister when she mentioned not having any family?'
[The bloodline between the two is worlds apart; Selene is a pureblooded vampire with high purity and progenitors' blood. However, her sister is well known because she only has the bloodline of her mother, a noble vampire. Thus, the Tepes family don't treat her as an heir, and the only person who gives her attention is Selene.]
'Eh?! Then she's essentially abandoned because her blood wasn't pure enough?'
[That's how this world is. Those who are not of a certain blood purity 'do not exist' I assume that Vlad's main wife is harsh to Selene because of this.]
'How fucked up...'
He shook his head and began to enter the numbers on his phone, only noticing that the blonde girl's phone began to vibrate a moment later before she answered it with the same foul voice.
"Who are you? Why are you calling my phone?"
'What the hell is wrong with this girl? Why is she still being hostile? Isn't it her phone ringing?'
"Hello, Selene asked me to find you."
Nikolai didn't bother to hold back and told her the truth, but the girl looked at him with shock, not understanding why her sister would hire someone to find her.
"I see... What does my sister want?"
Nikolai didn't expect her voice to change so quickly. The moment he used Selene's name, Anya became more obedient. He put the phone done and asked her out loud. "Are you Anya Tepes?"
"Just Anya!" He noticed how, although she became less hostile, the moment he said the name 'Tepes', she became hostile again. It seemed that Eliza's explanation was accurate.
[It's a shame; this law of the royal vampires means she won't be permitted to marry and is just a replacement for Selene.]
'I see... I guess even with all the money and power, they can't escape the laws of their lineage.'
"Anya, your sister is worried and wants you to return."
"And why should I?"
"Don't make my job difficult..."
"Hmph! She said in the evening because she is busy, that means you have to accompany me, poor man!"
'This girl... how is she making up these rules?'
"No, I need to..."
"I said you are coming with me!"
Nikolai could feel his patience wearing thin, and she began to walk towards the car while he stood and stared, dumbfounded. The next moment she tried to speak to him, he grasped her arm, flung her body over his shoulder, and slapped her exposed thighs with a loud smack; his handprint left a clear purple mark.
"Ahh! What are you doing?!"
"Listen! I'm not your maid, and I'm not here for you. If you don't want to go, I don't care, and I'll tell Selene that you don't want to come back."
He let her down and looked at her, but she just stared back with a confused and shocked look. Her crimson eyes widened, and he noticed her trembling lips.
"W-Why are you staring at me?"
"P-Please don't tell my sister... I'll stop being wilful... but please stay with me till the evening... there is nowhere for me to go..."
'Fuck, what a pain. I don't have time for this!'
Nikolai looked up at the sky and noticed it was still bright, meaning he would have to spend hours with this girl who reminded him of Selene when being sarcastic and stuck up.
"I'll take you to my home, so wait in the car."
"You're not going to touch me, are you? I'm not a prostitute."
"Who would want to touch a brat like you? Your sister has huge tits, and you're flat and look like an airport."
"Y-You bastard, how dare you! I'm a virgin, and I'm worth hundreds of millions!"
"HA-HA-HA! I can tell you're very modest. Get in the car, brat."
Nikolai had a look of exasperation as he shook his head, opened the door, and forced the girl inside the car. He then got into the driver's seat and started the car, only to notice how Anya had become quiet and obedient as she fastened her seat belt then stared at him with curious eyes.
"So what's your name?"
"Nikolai... You can call me Nikolai."
"Hmm... Okay, Nikolai, you're my new knight, and you're not allowed to refuse my orders."
"Shut up, I'll slap your bare ass next time."
"S-Stop, I won't be bad! Don't hit my ass!"
Nikolai felt like he had a headache, and the girl kept quiet till he drove the car into his private parking lot. He then looked at her, and she looked back at him with an innocent smile.
'I don't trust this little demon...'
[Don't take your sexual frustration out on her... She isn't Selene!]
'...'
