Chapter 158: They never learn. 2 (1/2)
On top of a building several KM away from Sasha's old mansion, two beings were looking towards the mansion.
These two beings had blood red eyes that shone, creating a stark contrast in the dark night.
”What do we do? Zandriel has been captured, and if this continues, they will know our secret.” A woman's voice was heard.
”...I have contacted SWAT through one of our faithful. They will break into that place and retrieve the body of Father Julian and Father Zandriel.” A man's voice was heard.
”Father Bruno is going with SWAT to keep everything under wraps.”
”This is the safest option right now.”
”Is it okay to involve humans in this?” The woman asked
”Yes. The new Count seems to care a lot about his old life, he won't cause any problems for the humans.” The man spoke with absolute certainty.
”...” The woman was silent and seemed to be thinking of something.
”Despite having absurd strength, at the end of the day, he is not a monster, he still has his human side… He will not commit mass genocide.”
”And when he leaves, we'll retrieve Zandriel's body. It doesn't matter if he finds out about our secret. Eventually, everyone would know that; this is just a little bit sooner than expected… But.”
”We must retrieve Zandriel's body at any cost.”
”...” The woman agreed with the man's words. Zandriel's body was just too valuable to fall into vampire hands.
”When humans invade the place, do you think he's going to retreat?” the woman asked.
”Yes, I think so.”
”...You seem to be 100% sure of that.” The woman spoke in a curious tone, ”How do you judge the personality of the new Count?”
”Why the sudden question?”
”Just answer.” The woman demanded.
”…Well, he is a loyal and protective man to his family, he likes to fight strong people, he seems like the kind of man who would never turn down a challenge… Overall, he could be a hunter if he were not a vampire. He has good qualities.”
”...I think a little differently.”
”...” The man looked at the woman.
”I think he's like a caged monster.”
”His wife and his family are the chains that keep this monster caged… But when he's poked, he won't mind releasing this monster. You see it, right? His 'face'.”
”...Yes.” The man wondered what that abnormality was since he had no record of that kind of power.
”Normally, this man wouldn't cause trouble in the human world, but he's not in a good state of mind right now… He's just seen someone precious to him in a pretty deplorable state.”
”And you, my friend, provoked/defied this monster. What do you think will happen?”
”... Fuck.” Only now did the man realize what he had done.
He seemed to think about what to do for a bit, but then he said, ”Well, some human lives are unimportant, they breed like rabbits.”
”...” The woman just looked at the man with a neutral gaze.
”Let's go back, we need to report what we've learned to our superior... Oh, don't forget to bring the faithful who passed our test. They'll be good tools.”
The woman looked at Sasha's old mansion, which had several helicopters flying over the place, and when she saw the SWAT entering the mansion, she exhibited a small disdainful smile. 'Let's see if you're a monster like they say, Count Alucard. '
”Okay…” She spoke.
…
”…” Leona looked at Violet once more. It's been a few hours since Victor, Edward and Fred left, and since the moment they left, Violet hadn't said anything.
She just stayed silent as she stroked Zack's head.
To be honest, Leona was internally freaking out; 'Why does it seem like I'm the only one caring about this weird situation?'
The sound of the door being opened was heard, and soon Fred and Edward appeared:
”Sup, we're back.” Fred was the first to speak.
”…” Violet narrowed her eyes when she saw that Victor wasn't with them.
”Where's my Darling?”
”...” Fred was silent and turned his face. He didn't want to answer that question. He felt that something would happen if he answered that question.
”Victor left with Mizuki somewhere, they looked like they were going to fight or something.”
”Oh...” Violet's eyes darkened a little when she heard that Victor went out somewhere with a woman. She wasn't worried about Victor, she knew he was a trustworthy man, but she was worried about Mizuki.
”...?” Suddenly Violet felt something, and, for a few seconds, Violet placed her hand on her heart while looking in a direction; 'Sasha… What happened?' She could feel immense anger and a lot of worry coming from Sasha.
But the moment she felt these emotions, the emotions disappeared as if everything Violet was feeling was an illusion.
But Violet knew it wasn't an illusion.
”...” When Edward saw Violet's gaze, he began having flashbacks to the past when he dated a woman who was mentally insane.
”I knew it…” Fred nodded his head several times; he's 100% sure that if he had answered that question, he would be the one receiving Violet's gaze right now.
Violet went back to looking at Zack, petting the cat, who seemed to be unconcerned about everything. He was even sleeping while drooling... He was a lazy cat.
”Finally, you came, honestly. I was about to freak out when I was left alone with this woman.” Leona spoke in a low voice.
”Why?” Edward asked.
”Well, she hasn't said anything since you guys left, the mood was super weird.” Leona was honest.
”I think this is normal? As a Yandere, she only cares about Victor.” Edward spoke in a low voice.
”Yandere, huh. I knew Victor had weird tastes, but he went way beyond that this time... Although I can't help but be jealous.” Fred said.
”...Do you want to wake up with a knife in your chest?” Leona spoke coldly.
”...” Fred broke out in a cold sweat when he imagined someone waking up next to him, and suddenly that person stabbed him!
”It's alright! As long as you never cheat, and accept a Yanderes' feelings, you'll be fine! Probably…” Fred wasn't sure, considering he wasn't experienced in these matters.
After all, reality was very different from fiction. He knew that Yanderes react badly to various situations because normally, all the protagonists of these animes were indecisive and never showed the affection that women were looking for...
”You guys know I can hear you, right?” Violet spoke.
”…” The three were silent.
A strange atmosphere fell over the place.
”You know? I don't really care what kind of friendships my husband has. He seems to value you a lot, and because of that, I don't interfere too much. And unlike what this woman expects me to do, I won't go crazy over the fact that she tried to turn my husband into a wolf.”
”…I wasn't expecting you to freak out,” Leona spoke in a neutral tone.
”Really? Well, in the end, it doesn't matter.”
”Oh? Why?”
Violet flashed a big smile, ”Because, he's mine. In the end, I came out victorious; there's no point arguing on a useless subject, right?”
”…” Leona's eyes sparkled a little blue.
”...” Edward and Fred were in a cold sweat now.
Rumble, Rumble.
BOOOOOOOM!
