Chapter 124: The kings plan. 2 (1/2)
”Ugh...” Victor put his hand on his head as if he had a headache. Hearing an old man laugh in his head was not something pleasant.
”Hmm? What was it, Victor?”
”It's nothing-...” Victor looked at Scathach and suddenly opened his mouth in shock; 'was she always this beautiful?'
Long hair as red as blood itself, blood red eyes, pale skin like all vampires, defined face that held a gentle little smile. She was the perfect image of a blood beauty.
A duality of beauty and danger. Scathach now appeared absolutely stunning to Victor.
”Victor...?”
”!!!” Victor woke up from his stupor and quickly shook his head over and over, 'Fuck, now that I think about the possibility of a possible future relationship, the thought doesn't leave my head.'
Victor looked toward the king, ”I accepted, now what?” He decided to finish all this soon.
”...?” Scathach didn't understand Victor's reaction, but she didn't mind so much. She was used to his oddness.
”Hahaha~, no need to hurry.” The king could no longer stand it and laughed.
Veins started to pop on Victor's head:
”Fuck you, this is your fault! You don't know the size of the problem you put on my shoulders! One small mistake and a catastrophe the size of a nuclear bomb could happen, you know!?”
Victor understood very well the personalities of his wives, and especially Scathach...
And even though he loves these personalities very much, he knows these personalities are quite… explosive. He doesn't want to make a mistake that can cause unimaginable damage.
He wasn't worried about the damage around him. Instead, he was worried about the damage it could cause to his and his wives' relationship. He knew the current peace in his relationships was due to Violet, Sasha, and Ruby's status as childhood friends. And, only because of that do they understand each other.
Victor completely ignored the day Violet tried to kill Sasha… As expected, his brain works in convenient ways…
Hearing what Victor said, Alexios' eyebrows quivered a lot.
”Kid-”
”HAHAHAHA~”
”Eh...?” Alexios was going to ask Victor to show respect toward the king, but he didn't expect the king to ignore what Victor said.
”You'll be fine, Victor.”
Victor narrowed his eyes, ”Why do you say that like you're 100% sure?”
”Well… in the past, I was like you. At least you don't have to deal with a woman who wants to destroy the world. So it's okay, it's okay~, you can handle it. I'll even give you my blessings in this long relationship. After all, this little girl is like a daughter to me.”
”…” Scathach and Alexios looked at the two men with strange eyes. When did the two men become so close? And why are they talking in codes?
”…Why did the conversation escalate from 0 to 100 so fast? Destroy the world? Huh?”
”You're imagining things, don't worry.” Vlad smiled, and inside, he thought;
'With that, he has two crazy women to deal with. Now he won't have time to interact with my beloved daughters, good...'
The king received some very interesting information from his subordinates. Natashia, Victor's mother-in-law, was killing all the insects in her house while saying something about husband this, husband that, my daughter's husband, etc.
It doesn't take a genius to find out who she's talking about.
Upon receiving this information, Vlad thought of a plan. The plan was very simple. Throw all the problems at his new 'friend'.
And he also wanted to help this little girl grow up too.
At the end of the day, he was the king, and the king's job is to make his servants happy!
But that was just an excuse he gave himself, and the real reason was:
The king was a very overprotective man with his daughters...
And seeing Ophis interacting with Victor made him very jealous and scared. 'What if my daughter grows up and wants to be with him? Hell no! I do not approve!'
Despite being king of an entire race… He was still a doting father.
”Sigh...” Victor had never felt tired of dealing with someone before.
”Well, back to business. Look…” Vlad looked at Alexios.
”Yes, master.” Understanding his master's intentions, Alexios snapped his finger.
And like magic, a vast map appeared.
Victor looked at the map with a curious look. He saw that the map appeared to illustrate the areas of this world. He could even see that forest where he met the strange gorilla and tree. 'Thinking about it, I promised I would visit them, huh?'
”The Nightingale map.”
”Yes. The area that is in red is my territory.”
Victor looked at the red area on the map, ”This is so small...” He muttered. He thought the king's territory would be bigger.
He saw that on the map, the territories were marked according to the name of each respective Clan of the Vampire Counts. He also noticed that Clan Adrasteia was very far from the capital.
Seeing how small his friend's territory was, he understood something.
'They're acting as the first line of defense for this country, huh… Now I understand why she invited me to go to her territory. She probably wanted to show me these monsters. She can't talk about them, but she can show it? I guess.' Victor tried to deduce Eleonor's motives.
”Yes...”
The king made a slightly annoyed expression, ”A few millennia ago, when I found this world and decided to create a country here, I thought that conquering this world would be smooth, but I ran into unexpected problems.”
”Oh?” Problems that even the vampire king couldn't handle? This is interesting…
Victor's curiosity was piqued.
The image changed, and soon several monster-looking creatures appeared.
”This world was being inhabited by these kinds of creatures. Creatures of the night who were the original inhabitants of this world.”
”...” Scathach was silent throughout the whole conversation. She didn't have much to add. She already knew all this, and she just couldn't tell her disciple this before because of a special magical contract she signed.
”Heh~, even you can't handle these monsters?” Victor looked at the monsters with curiosity. He saw that the monsters had many different shapes.
”Hmm?” The king looked at Victor, ”It's easy for me.”
”...Huh?” Victor didn't understand.
