“The child committed the most foolish of actions… She told her plan to Koyuki, her ‘friend’.” Mizuki spat out those words in disgust. “She offered Koyuki to run away with her.”

“The child was brilliant, and over the years, she completely memorized all the behavior of the monsters. She knew how to read them like the back of her hand. It helped that Vampires never hid who they were from their pets.”

“She knew when they slept, she knew when they would get angry, she had all the monsters’ behavior in her head, and that’s how she noticed a ‘gap’ in their defense.”

“She could run away on Friday night at the beginning of the month. That was the day the Noble Vampire always left the mansion to go somewhere.”

“And when the Noble Vampire wasn’t present, the other Vampires usually did what they wanted. Most of the time, they took advantage of the older children.”

“She told her reasoning and everything she learned to Koyuki.”

“The boy, now an androgynous young adult, just smiled and said he would go with her.”

“The child should have realized something was wrong. Even though she was very perceptive, she missed a single, small fact.”

“…The worst monsters are those who hide behind a mask of kindness and a mask of charm… That’s what Koyuki was.”

“He was a victim, but he was also one of the monsters… The 9-year-old didn’t notice that little detail.”

“And then… There was the betrayal. Koyuki attacked her from behind.”

…

“…Koyuki, why?” The child asked as she held her stomach that now suddenly sported a hole.

The androgynous teen just smiled his same smile, a smile that the child now realized looked very fake. “I can’t allow you to run away… You know… I’ve always been interested in you. I even made a point of begging them to let me be the first to try you. It took a lot of effort, but they approved.”

For a moment, his face was utterly lifeless until he returned to the same fake smile.

“And today is the perfect day for that.”

…

“The androgynous teenager tried to take advantage of the child, but he didn’t count on the fact that the child was favored by the Gods.”

“Even though she had a knife wound, even though she was weak, her body still had strength… Much more strength than the child would ever know she had.”

…

“Let me go!”

“Don’t resist. Your wound will get worse; we have little time, and although I don’t mind a warm corpse, I still want you alive.”

Panic entered the child’s heart, as did much fear, but above all these feelings, the feelings of anger, betrayal, hatred, and revenge were the loudest. “I said, RELEASE ME!”

And that feeling made something inside her move, an innate Blessing.

Her body glowed with golden Power and exploded, throwing the androgynous teen backward.

Falling to the ground, he held his head a little dazedly and said: “…That…How did you do that? You don’t even have a Talisman to channel your faith!”

…

“The child didn’t know what he was talking about, she didn’t care, all she knew was that she had to take this chance to escape.”

“Therefore… She ran… She ran with all her strength… Not knowing that she was going much faster than a human child should be able to.”

“She passed through the dense forest very easily, her body inundated with strength… But eventually, her strength emptied, and her body was not used to using so much Energy… The child fainted in front of a temple.”

Mizuki looked at her floating Spirit with a look that told him to continue.

“… The temple where the child fainted was the temple of one of my descendants, the temple where I slept. It was on that day that I found the child who had the greatest talent I had ever seen for the Onmyo Arts. Much more than me and my rival.”

“The child was welcomed by the spirit and trained. Over time, she discovered that the Noble Vampire Clans of Japan were behind what she had suffered… Therefore, she did what was necessary to become stronger.”

“She learned like a sponge… Absorbing all knowledge. She learned where her ‘explosion’ of Power came from and that this kind of thing only happened to those children who had a high affinity with Onmyoujutsu and were naturally favored by the Gods.”

“By using faith, she wielded the Powers of the Gods as a weapon… And years later, when she was an adult… She eradicated all the Vampires in Japan… Including the androgynous teenager who at some point also became a Vampire Slave.”

Mizuki sighed deeply as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders and then said, “This is the story of the child… No, the little girl named Aikyo Mizuki, later known as Mizuki, the one without a surname, and much later… Mizuki Elderblood.”

“Thank you for telling me, Mizuki,” Victor said gently, holding Mizuki’s hands.

“Mm.” She hugged him while keeping her face against Victor’s chest. “Thank you for listening, I needed to get this out…”

She was no longer that little girl who struggled. She was a strong woman, she was a Dragon Goddess, she had a new Family now… But keeping these things to herself was bothering her a lot, so she expressed these feelings to the person she trusted most in this world.

The two walked out of the mansion and stood outside, looking at the mansion. Victor spoke aloud:

“Aikyo, huh…”

“It means: ‘love, affection,’ ‘respect,’ or ‘respectful love,’ it can also mean; ‘affectionate respect.'”

“For a long time, it’s been a surname in my family… A surname that, for a long time, I thought didn’t suit me.”

“I’m glad to know you were wrong,” Victor said with a small smile.

Mizuki laughed gently and looked at her Husband… They had met as enemies when he was just another Vampire she needed to hunt, but in a moment of need for both, they grew closer. She even created a weapon for him, a weapon to kill monsters that later evolved into something more.

Eventually, she found herself getting closer to him, something she never thought she would be capable of. Who would have thought? She loved a Noble Vampire.

‘Although he is a Dragon now,’ she thought.

“This mansion… Do you need it?” Victor looked at her.

“No… I kept it because I didn’t know what to think of it… Maybe I just wanted to resolve my feelings… I don’t need it anymore. You can do whatever you want with it.”

“Very well.” Victor looked back at the mansion in front of him. There were hundreds of different ways to deal with it, but he chose the simplest one.

Victor spoke in the Draconic Language: “Purification.” All the feelings embedded in every part of this mansion suddenly disappeared… The heavy sensation that was also felt in it vanished completely as well.

It felt like a strong wind was blowing, and soon, all the place’s ‘weight’ evaporated as if it were just a fog.

Then he spoke in a strange language: “May the innocent Souls that were once taken here have a good life in their next Incarnation.”

Again, the words of a God had Power… The word of a God like Victor? It was basically a Divine Decree. The proof of this was The Voice of The System that sounded in Victor’s head after he spoke.

Accepted. The request has been sent to the Administrators… Administrator responsible for the Souls: Denied… Administrator responsible for Life and Reincarnation: Accepted. Request being processed despite the protests of the Soul Administrator.

The mansion began to glow slightly white, and ‘something’ started to come out of it. Mizuki couldn’t clearly see what this something was, but Victor could. This something was traces of Souls that had been trapped here due to dying at a young age and the feelings of hatred.

If left alone, this place would create a Being like Victor’s subordinate, a Living Ghost.

Mizuki didn’t think about anything while seeing this scene. She just looked at it with solemn eyes, completely trusting Victor. She knew that whatever he was saying in that strange language was something that wouldn’t harm her.

When the white light stopped emitting, she asked, “What did you do?”

“A new chance at a good life for those who died here.”

Mizuki’s eyes grew warmer: “…Thank you, Victor.”

“Don’t thank me for something so simple.” Victor snorted. “But I accept the thanks anyway.”

Mizuki just smiled gently. She knew very well that whatever Victor did was not something ‘simple’; nothing with him was simple.

“Want to do the honors?”

“Nah, I leave it in your hands.”

“In that case…” Victor snapped his finger, and the mansion disappeared.

“…Where did you send it?”

“To the sun.”

.

“… That’s so overkill.”

“Perhaps.” Victor nodded. “But I do whatever I want. When I want, and however I want.”

“And I wanted this mansion in the sun, so it went into the sun.”

“…Is it that simple?” Mizuki spoke with amused eyes.

“Indeed. You dare question your Emperor?”

Mizuki snorted. “My Emperor must be very tired after so much effort. As his Wife, it is my duty to help him relax.”

“Indeed.” Victor flashed a wolfish smile. “But maybe another time.”

“…Huh?”

Victor held Mizuki’s waist: “How about I take my Wife on a tour of this galaxy first?”

Mizuki blinked her eyes, and the next moment, she was floating in space.

Unconsciously, she quickly held Victor for fear of ‘falling’.

“Let’s take a tour of the planets, I’ve always wanted to see them in person.”

“W-Wait, just wait a second, let me get used to it-.” They disappeared again and, this time, appeared in front of a completely blue planet.

The sight of the planet Neptune in front of her made her go completely silent.

“Earth and my planet have their own beauty, but that doesn’t mean that others are ugly…” Victor spoke, and even in the emptiness of space, his voice was heard.

Mizuki just nodded as she used her eyes to see the ‘planet’ more deeply.

Victor smiled slightly when he saw Mizuki’s attention, he lied a little. He didn’t care about seeing the planets since he already saw them in his Dragon Form. What he wanted was to distract his Wife, and from what he saw, he was succeeding.
