Chapter 265: My Mother-in-law Is On Fire...
Chapter 265: My mother-in-law is on fire...
"Hmmm~, Hmmm~" Natashia was walking beside Victor with a beaming smile on her face.
It was clearly obvious that she was quite happy from the cheap fawning of the woman in front of them.
"...." Victor showed a small smile, he scratched his cheek a little, and he couldn't help but think:
'Cute... How can an older woman be so cute?'
Suddenly, Flashbacks came to Victor's mind.
Memories of Scathach acting cute to him began to fill Victor's entire being.
'... Well, does it seem like this is normal for them?' He flashed a small smile.
Despite being strong and wild women on the outside, they were surprisingly cute if you knew them well. Of course, that was the kind of attitude people couldn't imagine from Annasthashia Fulger.
The Countess of Clan Fulger, and the fastest woman alive.
Or...
Countess Scathach Scarlett, the strongest female vampire in the world.
The various titles that the two older women carried clouded the gazes of the other beings, and because of that, they will never be able to see the 'true' Scathach and Natashia.
'...Not that he had the chance from the start.' Victor's eyes were like an endless black hole, but Natashia didn't seem to be seeing it, as she was too busy lost in her own world.
A cold smile grew on the man's face.
Victor had made up his mind on this subject in the time he was gone for an entire year. There's that saying that only you realize when something is important when you lose it.
Despite not having lost anything, the sense of loss he felt was very great, although he didn't show it to Ruby, who was always close to him...
This is just his secret...
This past year, his obsessive personality got a boost, and he became a Violet...
He was like Violet before, but now?
Now... He's on the same level as her.
Because of this, he is pretty sensitive when it comes to Scathach, Natashia, Violet, Sasha, and Ruby...
'Scathach...' At the thought of the woman, Victor clenched his fist a little, despite having improved in the last year in his power control and having learned several techniques and perfecting them himself.
His 'POWER' has not grown.
'This bottleneck is irritating.' Victor is severely irritated, he feels as if a 'limitation' has been placed on the vampire race, and that limitation is only released every 500 years.
He has no proof of that, and maybe he's just making an excuse because he can't evolve in his power.
But he didn't really care about that... He needs to get stronger, for his own sake and for his own amusement. After all, he wants to fight stronger beings.
And most importantly... Because of Scathach.
The older woman, his mother-in-law, his teacher, there are a lot of labels they have together. But, the woman, even before he knew it, had become an important part of his life, and he couldn't make her wait too long.
'When she finds out her feelings, I'm fucked.' Victor flashed a big smile. He knew the moment Scathach found out about her feelings, the first thing she was going to do was confront him about it, and if he wasn't strong enough that day...
'Well... I'm fucked.'
Love is a war, especially for someone like Scathach, and Victor refuses to lose that war, and he doesn't want to be submissive to the older woman. His pride wouldn't allow it.
Just the thought of submitting to someone caused a feeling of disgust to ripple through his entire body like a venomous snake trying to devour every bit of his body.
He hated that feeling...
"Count Alucard?...Count Alucard?"
"...?" Victor wakes up from his thought and looks at the woman in front of him.
She was wearing a police uniform, she was 150 CM tall, and had a cute expression, no matter how you look at it...
'She's a child, isn't she?'
'Even her outfit looks like a cosplay gone wrong...'
"AHHH! That look of judgment, you're thinking I'm a kid, right!?" Looking at the little girl in front of him, the only answer that came to Victor's mind was:
"Yes." He was brutally honest.
"Cough." The woman literally coughed up blood as she felt an arrow hit her heart.
She wipes the blood away with a tissue and says, "It may not look like it, but I'm a full-grown vampire." She spoke with an eloquent tone while her eyes were gleaming.
"I am 1700 years old!" She hit her nonexistent chest.
"..." Victor looked with obvious doubt on his face. He literally felt nothing from the woman, nothing! If it weren't for her pale skin, the tiny fangs in her teeth, and her eyes turning red as she looked at Victor…
He would really doubt she was a vampire.
"…Are you the only guard around here?"
"..." The woman narrowed her eyes. He was obviously trying to change the subject!
But she didn't want to offend someone who has the title of 'Second progenitor' given by the gate.
"Yes, I am the director, boss, caretaker, and owner of this place!" She spoke proudly.
"A freelancer who does everything, huh?"
"Ugh." She felt another arrow in her chest.
"Well, I really don't understand, this is my first time visiting this place, but you must be strong enough to handle this place alone."
"Oh... I-." She looked like she was going to say something, but suddenly Natashia spoke:
"You're wrong, Husband. She doesn't take care of this place."
"Hmm?" Victor looked at Natashia, "What do you mean?"
When she realized that Victor didn't deny her advances again, Natashia started to sparkle, and her smile grew even wider, and her radiant aura seemed to shine even brighter.
"Whoaaa, My Eyes!!" As someone who hasn't seen sunlight for over a thousand years, the guard has suffered a lot of damage from Natashia.
"Limbo, it's basically a big automatic entity, it directly serves King Vlad, anything Vlad deems 'guilty' will be locked away in this place forever, and will suffer eternal punishment."
"The guards don't have to do anything because Limbo will do everything by itself, and so, because of that, this is a perfect prison, and no one can escape." Natashia explained like a teacher acting like the noblewoman she is.
A side that she only shows to the people she loves:
"This is literally an impenetrable prison." She displays a sneer when she says 'impenetrable prison'. In some strange way, the word impenetrable triggered her perverted thoughts.
'So this place is still virgin, huh?' She was completely in random mode since the high dose of happiness made her brain crazier than it ever was.
"I see…Thanks, Natashia."
"...You welcome, Husband..." She felt her heart dance every time she said the word 'husband', and Victor didn't reject her advances.
'Following him was the right choice for my life!'
'That old man really has a lot of secrets, huh.' In that moment, Victor feels an incredible curiosity about everything Vlad had and, most importantly, precaution.
'Luckily, he didn't mind when I killed his grandchildren... But it probably wouldn't end well if I had killed his son, and, in my current state, I shouldn't provoke the old man too much.' Victor's eyes gleamed calculatingly.
A rather strange trait for him... A trait that started to develop when he started dealing with Aphrodite.
That woman was just annoying to deal with, and when dealing with her, he felt like he was walking a tightrope where any mistake could lead him into a very bad situation.
Because of this, during his encounters with Aphrodite, he had to use his head as much as possible to try to understand the woman's intentions.
Well, he won't deny that he lost his temper once and spoke mean words to the woman... He just wasn't good at it, but that's not an excuse.
When talking to Aphrodite, Victor understands that in his current state, he can't be what he always is, and there are enemies he'll need to use his head for, he needs to be cold as ice, he needs to be more like his wife...
He needs to be like Ruby.
"... Hmm? Has the place gotten colder?" The guard looked around.
"A large entity?" Victor changed the subject and made a confused face as he looked around and saw several empty cells. He looked up and saw only darkness, the place didn't seem to have a roof, and everything was just a big long corridor full of cells.
"What kind of being is so massive and big?" Taking advantage of that moment, he sucked his powers back into his body.
"I do not know." Natashia's answer was simple.
"This place existed before I was even born, and the only knowledge I have about this place is what I told you now." Natashia explained and made a little sad face, she wanted to help him more, but she really didn't know anything.
Not even her mother knows the details of this place.
'The most likely to know anything about this place is Alexios or the king's eldest son.' Natashia thought about the beings that could help Victor.
'Should I kidnap them?' Her thoughts were running wild.
"Do you know something, Guard?"
"Fumu?" The guard seemed to wake up from her stupor and looked at Victor:
"I don't know, my predecessor didn't say much, he just said that I should work here, and I would get a big reward."
"Oh? What did you get?" Victor was a little curious.
"A large amount of Money!" She made a symbol of money with her hand.
"...." Victor looked blankly at the woman.
"Hey, hey. Unlike you vampire counts, noble vampires like me who don't have a Clan have a hard time making money, you know?" She pouted when she saw Victor's face.
"Why didn't you go to the human world?" Victor asked.
"Geh, I don't want to be hunted by that annoying organization. I want to live a quiet life, thank you very much." She made a disgusted face.
"..." Victor doesn't really know how to react to this girl, he's never seen someone so... Normal before?
Of all the vampires he'd encountered, this woman seemed to be the most normal of them all.
"Hahaha~, no need to make that face, Husband."
"Hmm?" Victor looked at Natashia, who woke up from her homicidal thoughts.
"What she said is true. Most noble vampires who don't have a clan just want to live a normal, entertainment-filled life. The vampires most likely to cause trouble are those vampires who come from a Clan."
"Her attitude is not that strange or rare." As a countess who is in charge of domestic affairs, she knew more about this matter than anyone else.
"I see... So these noble vampires who don't have a clan are like ordinary people in the human world?"
"Indeed." Natashia nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Vampires who have Clan like you and me are something closer to a 'politician' or 'businessman' in the human world."
"Ohh..." Now that she said it, Victor realized she was right, "I had never stopped to think like that."
His image of vampires is quite distorted...
'Greedy beings who only think about themselves and do everything to have fun or gain power.' That thought is due to vampires he's fought and his own master Scathach who loves to fight just as he does.
In a way, he's not wrong, but these vampires are only those of noble clans or vampires who aren't educated enough. There are vampires who just want to live normally and without the worries of threats.
"Oh, I forgot to ask, but what did you guys come here for?" The guard suddenly asked.
"Oh, we came to catch some criminals."
The look of the narrow guard, "Why did you come to catch criminals?" She was a little on guard.
"Why? Of course, I need to feed my pet." Victor flashed an innocent smile.
"…Eh?" She hadn't expected that answer.
"Look." Natashia suddenly approaches the girl and shows a photo of the gorilla from the cell phone she had in her pocket.
"Wow, a gorilla..." She opened her eyes wide in shock. It was the first time she had seen such a giant gorilla.
"…When did you take a picture of the Big Guy?"
"I sneaked it when you were busy talking to him." Natashia flashed an innocent smile, of course, she didn't use her cell phone just for that.
"..." Victor felt a little strange when he saw Natashia's smile; 'What is this feeling?' It was the same feeling he got when Violet looked at him with a suggestive look as if she was doing something she shouldn't.
He felt a little shiver down his spine, he looked around, and it felt really weird now, then he turned his attention to Natashia and saw her smile:
'Oh?' Somehow, he could tell that her current smile was something he knew well, an obsessive smile that was masked by a gentle smile.
'I see... It was her, huh.' He laughed a little and ignored what he felt, he doesn't know what that warning from his instincts was, but he definitely knows it's not a bad thing for him.
Natashia had a secret...
... She had a secret she wouldn't tell anyone.
Her precious 'collection' is on her cell phone, and it has a 40 digit password, and of course, it's saved in the cloud. She even asked her own sister to buy a company that already had the cloud function, just to be sure that no one would leak her collection.
And what is this precious collection?
...Photos of Victor in every possible way... Nude photos, sleeping photos, changing clothes, photos of him slaughtering enemies, she had an entire collection divided into various subgenres.
Fierce. Cheered up. Kind. Sadist. Bad boy. Good boy. Muscle.
She had several pictures of Victor in genres she created herself…
... This woman is a hopeless case...
