Chapter 45 - 43: Alfrin Dawnbringer

"Well, nothing much happened after stumbling down and getting that knife. I didn't keep it; I just threw it away so that Zoe, Luna, and the others wouldn't get worried about me. After that, I went to where my fans were. It took me a lot of time there. Many girls were there, and for the first time in my life, I felt like some kind of star, you know? Hehe!

Now, you may be getting confused when I say fans. Well, Meisheng, who's my producer and mostly makes me work in music videos and act as the lead character, decided to let me enter the world of models and idols. The reason behind it was to create a new identity for me and keep my hidden identity of being an Absolute Monster in the underworld a secret. That's what made me gain fans. Aside from that, Zoe is my manager, who handles the clients and stuff.

And right now, I am walking, reading the rule book as I've started forgetting my game memories too, little by little. I can no longer recall what my name was, how I died, or what my age was when I died…

"Sir Void! I finally found you!" A woman came in front of Void, kneeling down to him. She had purple gem-shaded shoulder-length hair locked in an elegant bun, dressed in a strapless sleeve wrap dress. She looked breathtaking in that dress, and as she bent down, her one visible leg made Void get bright red.

"Yes… You did, but who are you?" Void said quite nervously.

"Ab… Weren't you informed by Arcane? I'm Alfrin Dawnbringer. I was assigned by Milady, your mother Maria Middletown, and Mistress Vivienne, as she was concerned about your well-being and safety as your bodyguard."

"I really needed someone to help me! Thank you, Mother!" Void thought, enjoying the moment of relief. "I see. And I don't think you're just my bodyguard, right?" Void asked, recalling past connections and tie-ups.

"Yeah… If you put it that way… ehehe." Alfrin got flustered, blushing hard.

"I see. Another one, huh?" Void said, letting out a chuckle while tweaking his brows.

"Anyways, sir, it may be a thing of the future, but right now, it's important for me to stay with you and watch your back!" Alfrin said, taking back her composure. Void got flustered at "watch my back?" thinking, "Is there some kind of fetish, like watching someone's back?"

"No, no! Sir, I didn't mean that! I was saying keep a lookout for you while observing you. After all, I'm here to make you strong and get strong!" Alfrin said, while hugging herself and saying, "Training with you, doing mock battles… and after that sweet time! Ahh."

"She's a complete gym freak! Who cares?" Void thought. "I see now. Please get up, it's not good to keep kneeling like that!" Void said, walking forward. As he said that, Alfrin quickly got up and started following him, walking beside him.

"You're not a human, right?" Void said while his head was still forward.

"Yeah, I guess I can't hide my identity even after learning camouflage," she said, her skin turning pale.

"I'm a vampire, the daughter of Duchess Rosalie Dawnbringer. I left the family long ago to live with my father, but he didn't accept me… I was on the corner of the street. You might not remember me, but you! You helped me when you picked Arcane, naming her Arcane. During the same time, Miss Maria found me."

"She tried to send me back to my mother, but when she tried contacting her, she said," Alfrin recalled the words of her mother, "'She's dead to us! And if you've found her body somewhere, just dig it somewhere! May the lord of eternity consume her!'"

"Hearing that, Miss Maria got angry and decided to train me, as in the future, she wanted me to stand beside you as your wife to help you in the underworld," Alfrin said, at her revelation.

"You're saying Mother wants me to become the next head of Middletown?" Void let out a chuckle, like the revelation was fake. "Are you kidding me?"

"No! Sir, absolutely not. Milady has seen you being protective towards the family and also because Mistress has declared she won't be part of our mafia family. She wanted to live a normal life with Mr. Leonard," Alfrin said, her voice filled with enthusiasm and seriousness.

"All this time, Milady was just letting you do whatever you want, but in a recent family meeting, the elders, even your grandma, decided to make you the next head!" Alfrin continued, her tone containing pride and honor, maybe because she's a servant of someone like Void.

"All this time, I trained myself in the shadows, practicing day and night to stand by your side one day, and… And I'm finally able to do so!" Alfrin grabbed Void's hands, her eyes filled with heart, blush, and a wicked smile played over her face, yet her voice was filled with honey as she said, "I know you're trying to hide the feeling of finally becoming the head! But don't worry, Alfrin Dawnbringer will make you the best mafia lord in the history of Allainette!"

Void thought, "Yeah, here we go, another change in the script. Alfrin Dawnbringer, she's another villainess, or should I say side villainess, who worked for Rubianna. She must stay with Arcane. Now, if you ask me what's Arcane's origin, she is also a side villainess who should've worked for Rubianna… At this point, I'm no longer worried about anything; the script has changed wildly!" Coming out of his thoughts, he said, "I see. Don't worry, it's not like I'm not interested or something… I just don't like fights, as you know I'm a…"

"Absolute Monster! I know, Sir Void. You don't retract your katana until it tastes blood!" Alfrin said, taking her hand back and getting back into her a little cold demeanor.

As they were walking, Void felt the presence of two people at the turn of the pathway. He slightly bent to see what was happening and saw Samuel and Shuri engaged in an intense foreplay. Seeing this, Alfrin was about to yell at them for doing inappropriate things, but Void put his finger on her lips, signaling her to stay quiet while he observed them.

"Does Sir want to do this? Did he put this finger to check my obedience and loyalty to him?" Alfrin thought to herself. "I can't stay low that Arcane got a kiss from Sir! I must take action." Saying that, she started licking Void's finger, putting it in her mouth. At this, Void was losing his mind.

"What is she doing? Please stop, damn… I can't… NO… Don't do that!" Void thought. "Alfrin, what are you doing?" Void whispered. "Have you lost your mind?"

"Hi..feed do proof vyself!" [I need to prove myself] she whispered, her words unclear because she was still licking his finger.
