Chapter 444: The Reason She Wants To Come
We just asked if there are any vampires who are interested in our world, and the first one who wants to come without any hesitation is the Vampire Queen, Arin, herself.
She didn"t ask why, for what, or anything. She just jumped at the opportunity to go to another world and live there.
Even the vampires she brought with her didn"t stop her at all. In fact, after their queen raised her hand, the rest also raised their hand to follow her.
"…Sonia, what have you told her?" I asked Sonia.
I thought that during their time chatting with each other, Sonia might have told her about everything. About the cult, our world, and the reason we want the vampires in our world. Which is to be soldiers against the cult.
"I only told her about my past, and a little bit about fashion. Well, even if she"s a vampire, she"s still a woman. I bet even she doesn"t want to wear the same thing over and over again," Sonia said.
Albert and the others also listened to what Sonia said. And the women in our group nodded in agreement.
Women and fashion just can"t be separated. Even the werewolves and the angels are all interested. I don"t know about the elves though. But Lina might have taught them herself about fashion.
"We haven"t told you the reason why we want vampires in our world yet. But let me ask you something first. Why do you want to come with me, and why are your subordinates also want to come as well?" Albert asked Arin.
"As for me, I just enjoy chatting with Sonia. I think I can learn more from her. And seeing the girls with you wearing nice clothes make me want to wear something nice as well. Not this cape with high collar all the time," Arin said.
So, there are no other clothes other than the one they wore? What if they got dirty? Letting it smell bad?
Well, I don"t need to think about it too much. They are monsters after all.
"And what about the other vampires here?" Albert asked.
"We will follow Queen Arin wherever she goes," one of the vampires said.
"They are my most trusted vampires. They don"t have high rank other than the two Dukes I brought, but they can be trusted. All of them are those who knows about my charm magic but still choose to follow me," Arin said.
Since Albert didn"t react, that should be the truth. And I also looked at the ten vampires here. Their heartbeats are still normal. No other reaction from them other than nodding in agreement.
"Do you not trust men?"
It was Harold who asked.
"…I never met any male I can trust. But I will try trusting you," Arin said.
"What you mean by "you" shouldn"t include Roy. Just Albert is fine," Kayla said.
"Understood,"
…what does she mean by not trusting me? What is it that she"s thinking that makes me can"t be trusted?
"Roy said that he"s going to come here peacefully. But I believe that when he arrived, he did something that forces you to stop being hostile at him, right? Can that be called "peacefully"?" Kayla asked.
"That"s right. You threatened her right after meeting her," Victoria whispered. She"s still a secret, so I won"t show her to the vampires.
"But she"s the one who uses charm magic on me first. She deserves it," I whispered back to her.
In fact, I still can"t trust her enough to let her live in our world.
"…before you decide if you want to go, I will need to inform you about why I offer you this chance. Actually…"
The same story. Repeated over and over again. And when we found other people, monster, or whatever it is that might be a great a.s.set for us, we will repeat the story again and again.
"There"s a war coming? Then, we should be allowed to drink a lot of human"s blood, right? We can drink the blood of the cultists. I don"t think it"s a bad offer," Arin said.
"…I"m still shocked to see how quick you made your decision. Is humans" blood what you"re really after?" Albert asked.
"I"ve heard about them being the most delicious blood. The temptation might be too great if we move to your world, but we can endure it. I even don"t remember the last time I drank blood," Arin said.
So, it has been so long since she last drank blood. That"s why she believes that she and the vampires who will come along can endure it. I think we need to test it.
"Albert."
"I know. Open a portal,"
Albert realizes my intention as I opened a portal back to the village where the feast is going on.
The people over there are looking curiously at the portal thinking that we will return soon. But Albert just poke his head out and called someone. It"s a girl who seems to be a tamer or summoner. I don"t remember.
Albert picked a girl because the vampires can"t trust men yet.
Once the girl entered the portal, I closed it.
"She is a summoner just like Roy. And she can make a contract with one of you. We need one vampire, preferably with high rank, to make contract with her. With her as mediator, we should be able to contact each other easier. And as her familiar, you can"t disobey her," Albert said.
"That"s it? That seems easy," Arin said as she stepped forward to make contract with the summoner.
"No! Please let me do it. I can"t let our queen be under someone else," one of the vampires, who seems to be a Vampire Duke, volunteered herself.
The contract was made so in case we need to relay a message, the message can get there faster. The contracted vampire will go to this world or our world depend on the summoner. As for the other vampires, we don"t really care as long as they obey the queen. And I just need to give the Queen a Blobby anyway.
"The remains of the Vampire King"s army will also be there. Please don"t kill each other," Albert said.
"Don"t worry. It"s not like I hate them," Arin said casually.
"Hmm? Then why do you fight them?" I asked.
"The Vampire King fall for me without me having to use my charm. And he decided to kill everyone else to get me. But because I have more vampires, he can"t win and left to get stronger before returning and fight us again. Though in the end, he never returned," Arin said.
…that"s it? Women fight for fashion and men fight for love? I can"t say I understand, but seeing Harold nodding, I guess he understand the mind of the Vampire King.
"Okay. So, do you want to increase more vampires or just this much to come to our world?" Albert asked.
"There might be more. Anyway, as long as I"m alive, all the male vampires in this place will obey me. They are all my slaves. Though I will only ask the female vampires," Arin said.
She thinks of them as her slaves? Well, that means even if they died in the war, it won"t be a big loss. We can also use them as our bait.
"Hmm… then, other than the remains of the Vampire King"s army whom I will brought to my world, you can seduce other vampires. And since you will be leaving, how about you inform all the vampires here first?" Albert suggested.
"Inform them what? They will obey me anyway," Arin said proudly.
No matter what, I must never let her seduce any humans other than the enemies.
"Tell them you will be leaving and have someone be in charge. As for the vampire who made a contract with our summoner, she can come and go to this world according to her master"s will. You can appoint her as a messenger, and appoint someone else to be in charge of this place. This way, it will be easy to gather all of you when the war is happening," Albert said.
"I understand. I will discuss it with the others. Then, when will we begin living in your world?"
"Tomorrow. Roy will pick you up along with those who wants to go. As for the one who made a contract with our summoner, she can go there right away," Albert said.
And so, after giving some more detailed instruction to the vampires and Albert is satisfied with the result, we return back to the village. But there"s no more food. They"re all gone.
"…I"ll go grab some fruits from the elves" home. When will you be back, Albert?" I asked.
"I"ll discuss it with Carrie and the other vampires who will come first. The feast is over. You can bring back those who wants to go home. I think I see some children napping. We have gone for quite a long time. But it"s great that we managed to finish it in one day," Albert said.
"Then, I will bring everyone back. Just contact me if you want to go home."
With that, our business with the vampires is done. And we gained more powerful allies again.. Though I hope the vampires won"t cause trouble in our world.
