Chapter 78: The game day.
Soon the day of the game between Sasha"s aunt Victoria Rider against the leader of the Clan Horseman arrived.
As it was an important and festive occasion for Nightingale society, women and men can be seen in elegant clothes walking around the capital.
The capital was in a party mood, and the bored vampires couldn"t wait to see what kind of game it would be... But one thing was certain; they were eager for it to be a fight. After all, it"s very rare for two Clans with the level of a vampire count"s power to fight each other.
"Hmm... Security is tighter than before." Violet spoke as she looked around, she was wearing a black dress with a violet flower on her chest, along with long black socks and black boots, around her neck, a black choker could be seen.
"Tsk, I don"t like this. I feel like something is going to happen." Sasha was quite impatient, she was wearing more modern clothes, a pair of black jeans, a plain white s.h.i.+rt, and a black coat, she had pinned her long blond hair, which had grown in those six months, in a ponytail.
"Just smile, girls. Look at our husband. He doesn"t look worried." Ruby spoke with a fake smile on her face. Like Violet, Ruby opted for a simple red dress with black accents, the only difference being that Ruby chose a slightly bigger dress because she didn"t like people looking at her body.
Although even wearing a little bigger dress, the chest and a.s.s areas were still a little tight...
"..." Victor didn"t say anything and just continued with a small, simple smile on his face as he walked in front of the group. He was wearing the outfit he got from Scathach; the only difference was that he was wearing elegant red gla.s.ses that were rather old-looking. He found these gla.s.ses in Scathach"s personal bedroom, and he thought it would be a good idea to use them to disguise the use of his eye powers.
After all, when he used his powers, his eyes glowed a very visible blood red.
The current group was separated from the other girls, and Victor was with Violet, Ruby, Sasha, Maria, and Yuki. Following through his shadows was Kaguya, she decided to accompany Victor through the shadows to provide information when needed.
The other group, Scathach, Ruby, Siena, Eleonor, and Luna, were already waiting in the VIP room.
Victor and his wives took a while to get ready because they were too lazy to get out of bed.
"Maria, stay close, or you"ll get lost," Victor spoke without turning back as he continued walking.
"…" Maria, who was walking a little way away from the group, was speechless, "Is he treating me like a child?" She thought.
"Yes, Lord Victor," Maria replied as she approached the group closer.
"Hehehe~" Violet approaches Victor and grabs his arm:
"You look excited, Darling."
"Oh? You noticed?"
"Of course, I know everything about you."
"Hahahaha." He laughed amusedly when he heard Violet"s words, then he replied:
"Yes. Indeed. I"m excited."
Sasha, seeing Violet"s att.i.tude, wanted to do the same, but she was embarra.s.sed. She wasn"t shameless enough to take Victor"s arm in the middle of so many people!
Ruby walks elegantly beside Victor and takes his arm:
"Oh?" Victor exhibited a small smile, "I thought you would be embarra.s.sed."
"I am, but you"re my husband, so it"s okay."
"Heh~"
Seeing the teasing little smile on Victor"s face, her cheeks took on a healthy little shade of red.
Sasha bites her lip when she sees this situation. Because of her shame, she couldn"t take the initiative. When she was going to enter a sea of negative thoughts, she suddenly felt comforting emotions coming from Victor through their connection.
"Don"t think nonsense, dear," Victor spoke without looking back. "Just take your time."
"..." Sasha was a little surprised, but she exhibited a small gentle smile:
"Mm," She nodded.
[Master, you"re a philanderer, you always know where to attack, huh?] Victor heard Kaguya"s voice in his head.
"What are you talking about? I just worry about my wives…." He spoke in a low voice.
Being close to Victor, his wives heard what he said, but they ignored it since they knew that Kaguya was in his shadow.
Although they were curious about what they were talking about, they seemed to be talking about them.
[...] Kaguya didn"t know how to react to Victor"s honest words.
"Master, we have arrived." Yuki suddenly spoke out loud.
...
In a VIP room reserved only for the family of vampire counts, Scathach"s group was waiting for Victor.
Suddenly, all the women hear the sound of a door opening.
"Victor, you arrived... You guys were late, huh?" Scathach says, she looks at the gla.s.ses Victor was wearing and nods in satisfaction.
Victor looks at Scathach, who was sitting on an ice throne in her usual clothes:
"It can"t be helped. I felt like the bed was a quicksand of comfort, so I didn"t want to get out of bed." He replied.
"Heh~" She displayed a seductive smile, "I hope you treated my daughter well."
"M-MOTHER!" Ruby"s face turned red with embarra.s.sment.
"What? I just asked that because you are so lazy in the morning." She displayed an innocent smile.
"Well, she"s not wrong, and Ruby also sleeps naked...So," Lacus commented with a small smile...
"Some things must definitely have happened." Siena smiled.
"Awawawawa," Pepper just had smoke coming out of her head, she seemed to be thinking about something she shouldn"t.
"...Y-you guys..." Ruby didn"t know what to say, and, in the end, she just sighed.
"Hahahaha, don"t tease my wife so much." Victor walks beside Scathach, he snaps his fingers, and soon an ice throne a little different from Scathach begins to be created.
"Oh? You got better at creating ice structures."
"All thanks to your training…." He flashed a small smile, then sat down on the ice throne and crossed his legs.
"Kakaka, I know." She laughed.
"…" The women looked at the two with a speechless expression.
"Why did you create these ice thrones? Can"t you guys just sit in the chair?" Sasha asked as she pointed to two simple but rather elegant chairs.
""h.e.l.l no. I will not sit in that simple chair.""
The two spoke in unison with a face of disgust.
"..." The group was silent; they just didn"t know how to react.
This was the VIP Room, and it was equipped with the finest furniture in the vampire world, yet they called these luxurious seats a "simple chair".
Somehow, the women were already more used to this scene. They were slowly accepting the fact that Scathach was creating a male version of her and the only one that was freaking out internally was Eleonor, she had never seen another person so similar to her master.
The group spreads out and starts to sit on the chairs and sofas in the VIP room.
Victor looks through the gla.s.s of the VIP room towards the arena, "Hasn"t started yet, huh?" He spoke in a low tone, then he looked at the arena with curious eyes.
Seeing the Plebeian vampires sitting in the stands, he began to inspect everyone; "That one over there is strong, that one over there is hiding his powers."
He looked at all the vampires who he had an interest in and judged their strength. After being trained by Scathach for so long, he could somehow evaluate a person"s level based on behavior and a "feel" that surrounds the vampire.
It"s something very difficult to put into words, but it"s something like a warrior can know if the other warrior is strong or not.
Sensing a glance in his direction, he turned his face and looked at another VIP room through the gla.s.s; the eyes behind his gla.s.ses started to glow, and his world turned blood red.
He focused his attention on the individual who had a large red aura surrounding them.
"Heh~" Victor"s smile grew distorted.
"Oh? Did you find anyone interesting?" Scathach looks to where Victor was looking.
"If I"m not mistaken, that room is where Victoria"s family is." Scathach spoke.
"My Aunt?" Sasha gets up from the couch and walks beside Victor, she looks where Victor is looking but doesn"t see anything, she just sees a normal room with totally black gla.s.s.
"Interesting... Interesting indeed..." Victor turned his face and ignored them for the time being. He looked into another VIP room and saw a woman and a child sitting in a chair. They were both alone in the room, but Victor could see several vampires protecting the place outside.
Victor found something interesting with the child, she had a very distorted aura as if two colors were mixed incorrectly.
The child suddenly looked towards Victor and then disappeared.
"???" Victor was confused; "She disappeared? Do not tell me…."
Soon Victor could feel someone sitting on his lap.
"Father."
Seeing the child in the gothic dress, he displayed a gentle smile:
"h.e.l.lo, Ophis."
