Chapter 18: Sasha Fulger. (1/2)

”She is your wife.” Kaguya repeated what she said in the same tone of voice.

”That I heard,” I said in a surprised tone, I took a deep breath and asked in a neutral tone.

”What I meant was, what do you mean she's my wife?”

”...Well, she is your wife?” She spoke with a confused face.

”Kaguya,” I stared at her with a look telling her to explain what was going on.

Kaguya sighed. ”Normally, as a servant of Lady Violet, I shouldn't be telling you this information, but…” She bit her lip and it looked like she was having some difficulty speaking.

I start to think of Kaguya's personality, she is a loyal maid who claims to want to be the perfect maid, a maid who does everything for her master's sake; Oh, I get it, she's thinking she's committing a betrayal by talking about something Violet probably forbade.

I move closer to her as I try to ignore the temptation to bite the blonde woman's neck who was lying asleep on the bed, I swallowed hard and bit my lip a little.

I patted Kaguya's head and said, ”Don't worry, Just tell me what happened; if Violet says something, you have my support.”

When I started stroking Kaguya's head I felt her body tremble a little, and then she shows a small smile on her face; she seems happy about something, then she says:

”I will trust Lord Victor.” She spoke in a neutral tone while keeping the smile on her face.

Realizing she was going to tell me what's going on I stop stroking her head; I feel her shiver a little, and suddenly Kaguya's hand moves at inhuman speed and takes my hand and places it on her head again. She then lifted her face and looked into my red eyes with a blank look.

Question marks started appearing around me, I didn't understand what was going on, but when I looked where she was holding my hand, I understood something; she wanted me to stroke her head.

Soon, I start stroking her head again and she displays a satisfied smile, I can't help shaking my head to myself when I see this maid's attitude; she claims to be a perfect and serious maid, but she is surprisingly cute sometimes.

Somehow, seeing Kaguya's expression, I managed to calm down. My bloodlust was still screaming like crazy, but now it was on a more manageable scale.

”Explain what happened,” I told Kaguya.

Kaguya nods and says, ”This woman's name is Sasha... Sasha Fulger, just like Lady Violet... She is your wife.” Soon she starts telling me all the events that Sasha suffered.

I listened to everything with a neutral expression as I stroked Kaguya's head. My emotions fluctuated sometimes, when I heard that Sasha was happy, I was happy, but when I heard that Sasha was almost captured by the hunters, I felt a wave of intense anger in my chest.

These emotions were foreign to me. I wondered how I could feel such strong emotions from a woman I just met, but stopping to think,... The same thing happened with Violet; I always felt very intense emotions when involving Violet.

I look at the blonde maid with murderous intent, but soon I shake my head several times and start breathing heavily in an attempt to calm myself again; this wasn't my revenge, this was Sasha's revenge.

Okay, let's gather the important information, Sasha who is Violet's childhood friend was marked as my wife by the ritual that happened a few days ago. She came home and a trap set by the church hunters was waiting for her, on that day she lost Julia a maid who was like a mother to Sasha.

According to Kaguya, when she went to visit Sasha she realized she was suffering from bloodlust, and she was very weak from fighting the hunters. Realizing that Sasha might make rash decisions because of her desire for revenge, Kaguya kidnapped Sasha and brought her to me.

I understand the general situation, I look at Kaguya, ”Who is my other wife?”

Kaguya bites her lip, but she soon sighs again and says, ”Ruby... Ruby Scarlett, she's Lady Violet's other childhood friend.”

Ruby... Ruby... Hmm, isn't she the most popular student in med school? Let me remember, red hair, green eyes, and with an always listless expression on her face, she was called a genius because she always came first in everything she did.

She was very popular with the college men, she was called the untouchable red flower. According to the rumors, in the past she was proposed to by several men but they were all turned down, and some more insistent men suddenly disappeared from the face of the Earth.

For some reason an irritating feeling grew in me when I realized that several men were after her, it was like an obsessive desire... Hmm, those fuckers-

”Lord Victor.” Suddenly I hear Kaguya's voice.

I wake up from my thoughts and look at Kaguya, realizing that I was falling into the seas of emotions again, I smile a little and say, ”Thank you, Kaguya.” I stroke her head harder.

I see she was breathing more erratically, and she had a small smile on her face, she wasn't breathing like Violet, it was something quieter.

”Nice job, Kaguya.” I felt Kaguya's whole body tremble as I said those words, and soon she turns her face away and is looking at the wall as if she found something interesting.

Kaguya deserved those words, if she hadn't acted then, Sasha probably would have done something dangerous to herself.

”Ugh-...what happened to me?”

Suddenly, I hear someone's voice waking up, I look straight ahead and see that Sasha has woken up.

Sasha looks around and doesn't seem to recognize the place she woke up, suddenly she starts talking in an irritated tone, ”... That maid! She kidnapped me—” She was going to continue to say something, but when she noticed my presence she stopped talking and focused all her attention on me.

Sasha's sapphire blue eyes begin to change to blood red, she inhales a large amount of air and slowly begins to release the air that was in her lungs. When she let out the air she breathed in, I could see that the air was much hotter than usual, it even formed a small hot mist when it came out of her mouth...

Her face started to turn red, and she started breathing erratically while keeping her red eyes fixed on me.

I wasn't in any better shape, my body was hot, my throat was dry, my whole body screamed at me to stop holding back and attack that woman and feast on her blood.

”Ugh-... Lord Victor, you're hurting me.” Kaguya spoke in a neutral voice.

When Sasha and I heard Kaguya's voice, we both woke up from our stupor.

I looked down and realized I was squeezing Kaguya too hard, I also noticed that Kaguya lied by saying she was hurt, I think she told me and Sasha that to wake up from our world.

”...S-Sasha...Right?” I said stuttering a little.

”...Y-Yes, I'm Sasha!” She suddenly spoke out loud as she raised her hand like she was in elementary school and the teacher had asked her something.

Realizing what she had just done she turns her face to the side and ignores me, I noticed that her whole face was glowing red and seeing that expression of hers, something seems to pierce my heart and I can't help commenting in an honest tone:

”Beautiful.”

I hear a 'poof' sound, and I see little yellow lightning flashing from Sasha's head, and her face is redder than before.
