On a distant, Shadowy land. Where the moon was closest to the earth. Roses of crimson red covered the fields. Painting the landscape blood red. In the center of this landscape. A castle of black. Spanning hundreds of meters into the sky. Towers scraped the sky in every corner. The castle grounds span a hundred square kilometers. Manned by security formations. Nothing will escape their piercing gaze. Always vigilant.
In the central tower of this humongous Castle. Lay the sleeping vampire progenitor. Jane. After exhausting her blood Vitality to grant Jason the same power and status as her. She fell into a deep slumber. A smile lingered on her gorgeous face. Dreaming of her beloved.
Next to her Lay a little girl wearing a black frilly dress. Blonde hair and crimson eyes, unblinkingly staring at the beautiful visage of Jane. She too is a progenitor vampire.
"Mistress Annabelle. Mistress Jane is recuperating. I humbly ask you to let her be." A dog eared, crimson haired. Crimson eyed beautiful and voluptuous woman spoke softly to the little loli. Her hair and eyes the same as her sleeping mistress. Even her dog tail was crimson as well.
"Roxy… Just let me see her for a bit more…" Annabelle spoke softly while pouting. Not sparing a glance at Roxy.
"sigh… Fine. Three more days then." After that the Blood Hound of Antaria stood still. Watching over her mistress like she always have. The loyal Roxy desperately needed pats right about now. But her duty outweighs anything else. Even headpats!
Annabel reached her dainty little hands to the paler than normal cold cheeks of Jane. She caressed her lovingly. "I miss you so much sister… I want to play Together like the old days…" Annabel then kissed Jane's cheek and closed her eyes. Remembering the good times of the Crimson Court.

MC POV
Eleanor was on top of me. Her head on my chest. Riding her orgasm. Grapping her supple and firm butt.
I laid her Beside me and kissed her. Eleanor smiled. Her hazy eyes showed her boundless love for me. She already formed her Blood seed. Even though Eleanor isn't the most talented. Her progress is better than I expected. Only 2 days of cultivation and she managed to form a Blood seed. I was very proud of her..
I left her room and went to the training grounds. Same as yesterday and the day before. I started training with the sword. But no matter how much I try. I still aren't able to grasp that thin string of sword comprehension… Just what am I missing?
Just when I was about to swing for the 9678th time. A piercing light shot in my direction. I barely blocked it with my sword. When I looked at my aggressor, I found it to be Christina! Long Blonde hair tied in a pony tail reaching above her waist. Blue clear eyes eyeing me with a challenging glint. She's about 5.8 ft. now. She takes after her mother more now. Although still a little short in the breast department.
She looked cute with her white blouse and black tight pants. She pointed her rapier at me and uttered "En Garde!" Then sped towards me.
I blocked the second attack. Then another. Then another! I couldn't dodge! She looked to have just broke through to Inner Sea Realm. And she's using me to consolidate her foundation. I lowered my cultivation to Hers so we can have a fair fight. And now she's having the advantage! Must be her sword comprehension? Did she…
Christina was on the offensive. Hand behind her back While the other swung at me with elegance and grace. Sharp thrusts of the pointy tip of the rapier almost pierced me. But I defended in the last second. All this time I couldn't counter attack. She's too good with the sword!
The next thing I know. My sword was flung from my hand. Christina's blade was at my neck. I was thoroughly defeated. But Instead of shame, all I felt was happiness and pride. My stupid smile threatened to reach my ears.
"I surrender." I uttered with a broad smile. Christina sheathed her weapon and looked at me. Her limpid eyes staring at me. Smiling proudly.
"Congratulations on achieving Sword Intent. Christina Isfrid!" I clapped enthusiastically.
Christina got a little emotional. Jason was always smiling and carefree. She missed him so much. To take her mind off of him she practiced the sword nonstop in those 5 years. Comprehending the sword was no joke. It needed practical and theoretical application in constant amount. Going on missions assigned by the mistress after Christina requested. Bloodshed and slaughter with the sword can enhance comprehension greatly.
Blood, sweat and tears poured in abundance in those 5 years. But it was all worth it. Just seeing the genuine smile of admiration on Jason, washed away all the mental fatigue building up in her mind. Seeing him doing better than ever. Tall as a mountain. Strong like a beast. But with a broad smile and caring, gentle eyes. Made her sigh in relaxation. Next thing she knew she was in his embrace. Oh how she missed this…
Jason wasn't surprised at her action. Christina may not show her emotion. But when she needs a hug she takes it without hesitation. The only one Christina ever hugs is him.
"You did good, Christina. I'm so proud of you…" I caressed her long blonde hair. Her breathing was steady. She was so comfortable in my embrace. Her head on my chest. Just soaking in the moment…
5 minutes later she separated. And looked up at me with a sweet smile. I… Was already at my limit. I caressed her lovely rosy cheek. She pressed her hand on mine. Our breathing quickened. A certain spark formed between us. Christina liked the warmth from my hand and pressed it tightly on her cheek. Bit by bit. My other hand found her other cheek. Christina's limpid eyes gazed at mine. Our faces inched closer and closer...
Christina hugged me tighter. A healthy blush formed on her pretty face. I've always liked Christina. I liked that little girl that visited us that day. A cute Lolita tsundere. She was more energetic at the time. And after the tragedy of the Isfrid family… She closed her heart to all but me. I was glad. To know that she can heal, that she can persevere. And bit by bit. I started loving her dearly.
The days when she just slept innocently with me were days that hardened my will immensely. I know she wasn't in a state of mind to welcome such a relationship. She was too young and vulnerable. And I didn't want her to hate me. I grew attached to her. And she was already attached to me.
Our days of sparring Together were also dear memories to me. She never could land a single hit on the first days. But she always got better and better. And I had to keep up. But in the end she bested me.
We stood there. Holding each other. Christina didn't utter a single word. I looked to the side and saw Nisha… She was pouting. I separated from Christina with reluctance. Christina was unwilling at first. But when she saw Nisha she relented. She drew her sword and started training. Glancing back at me in grievance. I could only sigh.
Nisha was crossing her arms and puffing her cheeks. She looked so adorable! But I could see she was holding herself back from crying. Her cat tail was standing upright. Indicating that she was happy to see me. I chuckled a little and approached her.
Nisha is 13 now. She looked like any other girl her age. 5 ft. in Height. But the special thing about her is her cat ears and tail. Dark blue in color. At night, it shimmers like the stars. Her feline eyes stared at me in indignation. It was light blue.
I spread my arms wide. Waiting for a hug. Nisha snorted and looked away. I kept my pose. Inviting her. Nisha looked up at me angrily. In an instant, she jumped at me and knocked me to the floor. It didn't hurt. Because the next instant Nisha was purring and sobbing on my chest.
"Sniff~Sob~ why did you take so long to come back? I missed you so much! It was so boring here… Everyone was gloomy and depressed. The only thing they did is cultivate and train. Too boring ughhhhhh!" Nisha laid it all on me. Little kitten is monstrously talented as well. Reaching the middle Core Condensation Realm in three years! That's Why she has more spare time and she can do as she likes.
" There, There. I'm here now. So we can play lots and lots." I patted her head. Rewarding me with cute purring sounds.
She looked up at me and smiled mischievously. I flinched a little. "Lets sleep Together tonight!" I sighed in relief.
"Sure, I don't mind." I sat and sat her on my lap. Nisha looked at my body curiously. "You sure have grown a lot huh? How is that possible anyways? And look at those muscles. Even your chest and stomach are hard as a Rock. What were you eating?" Nisha bombarded me with Questions. I answered to the best of my abilities. How I'm different since I cultivated since I was 5. How I absorbed the blood essence of a Runic White Bear. After that I started narrating what happened these past years to me. Christina was listening as well.
Nisha snuggled closer to me. Sadness clear in her eyes. "I'm happy you're back and safe now… I love you big brother." I patted her head gently. "I love you too, Nisha.". And I kissed her forehead. Nisha then neared my cheek and kissed me lightly. We stayed in each others embrace for a little While. What I have for Nisha is pure love. Seeing her grow up in front of me. Her antics and playfulness. It charmed me. I will protect that innocent smile of hers forever.
