…

“Why didn’t she do anything?” Sasha asked the doubt in the heads of the four women.

“…” A moment of silence fell between the women as they were trying to understand the goddess’s thoughts.

But…

“Who cares?” Scathach suddenly spoke, and she managed to get the girls’ attention.

The long red haired woman raised her head and looked directly at the girls.

“Who cares about the thoughts of a goddess?” She spoke with disdain on her face.

“…” The girls were silent.

“You are losing focus.” Scathach continued.

“What do you mean?” Natashia asked, trying to understand the woman’s intentions.

Scathach ignored Natashia’s question and continued, “It doesn’t matter if she helped him or not, it doesn’t matter at all.”

“What matters is, this Bitch is very interested in him…” Scathach’s eyes flashed blood red. Who did this bitch think she was to run after her disciple?

“….” Violet, Sasha, and Natashia narrowed their eyes when they heard what Scathach said.

“Hmm…” Ruby put her hand on her chin and seemed to think:

“That’s true.” Remembering what Victor said about the woman, Ruby couldn’t help but agree with her mother.

“…” Victor showed a small smile and was silent all this time. For him, the girls’ discussion and debate were like a song played by the best composer in the world.

He really missed it.

And… He really liked it when girls talked about him and were protective of him.

It was not out of ego or anything like that.

But… He just loved it.

Because that was their way of showing love to him.

‘Although…’ Victor looked at Scathach, seeing the woman sitting on the chair with her legs crossed while holding a thick book in her hands. He couldn’t help but think that she was very beautiful…

His blood-red eyes glowed a little.

He measured his and Scathach’s strength, and just as he’d expected:

‘It’s still not enough…’ Despite having trained 1 year non-stop, he didn’t progress much in ‘power’, and instead progressed more in his techniques that became more refined.

Victor was at a bottleneck, and he understood that a vampire’s nature was an unbreakable rule, and he couldn’t break it.

Believe me… He tried, almost killing himself in training has its perks, but…

‘It’s still not enough.’

But that thought didn’t depress Victor. It actually made him more excited to know that he could still get stronger, and as he remembered Natashia’s fight, he saw that he still had several ways to improve his techniques still.

And as he improved his technique, he would improve his strength, make less useless moves, and would become a more ‘complete’ warrior.

‘I have to be patient.’ Yes, he should have patience and focus on what he already has. He needed to train what he already had so that one day he could reach the level of the woman in front of him.

After all, it took her 2000 years to get where she was today, and Victor must go through the same. He must wait 2000 years for his body to evolve naturally.

But… Like all adults in the 21st century, he didn’t want to wait…

‘2000 years is a long time.’ Indeed, 2000 years was a very long time since various civilizations could rise and fall in the meantime. Who knows?

Perhaps Earth would be finished two thousand years into the future.

Because of this, Victor thought of an alternative.

‘Natalia…’ Precisely speaking… The power of her Clan.

‘If an individual had the ability to close down a whole world and slow down time, he could definitely do that on a small scale.’ Victor’s thought was to create a room where time passed faster for him so that his body could age and he would train at the same time.

‘But… That’s impossible, for now.’ After all, from what Victor understood, only Alexios had that power.

His daughter didn’t.

And Victor was 100% sure that Alexios wouldn’t help him.

Why? Because Alexios was a faithful servant.

And just like his Maids, a faithful servant would not help a possible ‘enemy’ of the person they served.

‘Probably, he could help me, but I would have to make a contract or something that forbade me from harming Vlad or anyone in his family.’ And that was something Victor didn’t want.

He didn’t want to be chained…

The simple fact of not being able to do something he wanted left a bad taste in his mouth.

“So, what should we do?” Violet asked.

“…” And hearing Violet’s voice next to him, Victor woke up from his thoughts.

“Something you should have done a long time ago.” Scathach closed the book with a bang and spoke with a big smile on her face:

“Train.”

“….” A silence fell over the room, and all the women looked at Scathach with surprised expressions.

Why is it all about training?

“Of course, I will train you.”

“….” Violet, Sasha, and even Natashia made an annoyed face since they didn’t want to train.

“That’s a good idea, I need some teachings from you, mother.” Ruby’s eyes went dark as a black hole:

“I’ve managed to access the Vampire Count form, but I still have trouble controlling-…I need your teachings.”

“Oh?” Scathach looked at her daughter with an interested smile. She saw the smile on her face, it was an excited smile… A smile like Victor.

“…” Scathach opened her mouth a little in shock and looked at Victor:

“…Victor…” Her voice came out menacingly.

“…” Victor turned his face away and started whistling.

“What did you do to my daughter?” Her voice came out darkly.

WHISTLE!

“What are you talking about, I didn’t do anything.” He played innocent.

“….” Scathach narrowed her eyes.

And looked at her daughter:

“What did he do to you?” She decided to ask the victim.

“…?” Ruby didn’t understand the question, but thinking she was talking about how she was able to access her transformation, she said:

“It’s no big deal, he just promised that if I trained with him, he would reward me…” Her face turned a little red at the end.

Of course, the reward was ‘that’.

Dual cultivation, explore the dragon’s den, traverse the mountain tops, etc.

And they all clearly understood that.

Except for one.

“What kind of reward?” Scathach asked with narrowed eyes.

“…..” Sasha, Natashia, and Violet looked at Scathach with a face that said:

Bitch, please. You are older than Jesus, how could you not understand the hidden message? Are you kidding?

“…Well…” Her face turned redder.

Gulp…

She swallowed hard and seemed to gather courage.

“SSS…-” She bit her tongue…

And her face got redder.

“…” Scathach’s eyes darkened as she finally understood; Victor used the carrot method, Ruby would help him in training, and he would reward her with something she liked… And so he did, and in the end, she became addicted to training because unconsciously, she knew she would get a reward if she did that:

“You bastard, you’ve addicted my daughter.” Scathach looked at Victor but saw that the man was nowhere to be found.

Her eyes glowed blood red as she searched for Victor and quickly found him standing in the doorway.

“Victor…” Her eyes and her face were dark as a black hole.

Victor’s smile grew:

“Hey, Scathach. I need to sort something out. When I get back… I’ll train with you.”

“…Oh?” Scathach was interested in what Victor was going to say.

“I need your teachings…” He displayed a gentle smile, “And I want to spend time alone with you, I’ve missed you.”

“…Huh?” All Scathach’s momentum seemed to disappear with the leaves in the wind.

“I’ll see you later, Scathach.” He flashed a small smile, and his body began to be covered in lightning.

Rumble.

And in the blink of an eye, he was gone, leaving behind streaks of lightning.

“…..”

An awkward silence fell in the room while the girls looked at Scathach, who was stunned in place. She looked like an adventurer who looked into medusa’s eyes and was paralyzed as stone.

“…He’s gotten better at dealing with Scathach…” Violet muttered.

And the girls couldn’t help but agree with the woman.

“Ahhh!” Sasha suddenly opened her eyes.

Natashia looked at Sasha, “What is it, Daughter?”

“Let’s follow him!”

“Eh…? But I have to sort out my Clan’s problems…” She spoke the truth since she had just left everything in Victoria’s hands a few days ago.

“Who cares about the Clan?”

“Was that really something an heiress should say?” Violet asked with a dry look.

But Sasha didn’t seem to be listening to her since she was more focused on her thoughts.

“…” Ruby looked at Violet:

“Those words coming from you, that’s really ironic.”

“…” Violet was silent as she looked at Ruby:

“I-…” She looked like she was going to say something to defend herself.

“I can count how many times you neglected the heiress’ job to pursue Victor.” Ruby picked up a red book that had a strange padlock on it.

“I have it all written down here.” Ruby flashed a small smile.

“….” Violet looked at Ruby with a shocked face.

“Why do you have this!?”

“Blackm-… Cough, I mean, if I ever needed to convince one of my friends to do something for me.”

‘This bitch! She was definitely going to say Blackmail, right?’ Violet’s eyes glowed blood red.

Sasha approached her mother and spoke in her ear:

“We can be alone-.” She didn’t even need to finish saying that as Natashia understood what her daughter meant.

The woman quickly got up from the bed, clothes began to be created on her body, and she looked at her daughter with sparks of lightning flashing in her eyes.

“Let’s go.”

“….” Sasha’s smile grew.

Rumble, Rumble.

The two women were covered by lightning and soon disappeared.

“Ugh, why don’t I have this power? I could follow them now.” Violet mourned her fate.

“Woman, you literally have the power every vampire would love to have.”

“…?” Violet looked confused at Ruby.

“What power are you talking about?”

“You can walk in the sun, bitch. Did you forget?”

“Oh… But is that a big deal?” Violet didn’t understand. Given her preference, she would rather have a power equal to Kaguya so she could chase after Victor 24… Wrong, 25 hours a day, 8 days a week, 666 days a year.

… The calendar doesn’t work like that!

Ruby narrowed her eyes, “…These privileged people must die…” She really envied Violet’s power. After all, if she had the power to walk in the sun, she wouldn’t have to wear that stifling coat, and she could resolve things in the human world more easily.

“…That’s really ironic coming from you…” Violet didn’t miss the opportunity to timely Ruby.

“Why?”

“You are the daughter of Scathach, and you were born with two powers.”

“Vampires were spitting blood right now if they heard what you said.”

“…” Ruby started to think about what Violet had said and added, “That really makes sense, they all have the attitude of a young master of a Wuxia novel, it’s quite possible they did that.”

“…?” Violet didn’t understand anything Ruby said since she wasn’t into the culture yet.

…

Victor stopped in the middle of the Scathach mansion room, he was only wearing pants.

“Victor, what are you doing?” Lacus asked with a curious look.

“…?” Victor looked at Lacus and saw that she was accompanied by Siena, Pepper, Ophis, and Eleanor.

“Oh, you’ve come at a good time.” Victor looked at Eleanor.

“But I didn’t go anywhere, I was stuck here from the beginning.” Eleanor retorted.

Victor pointed to Eleanor, “You’re coming with me to a place.”

Eleanor narrowed her eyes, “… I can deny it, you know?”

“If you don’t go, I’ll steal your horse, I know she’s stopped outside the capital.”

Eleanor’s eyes gleamed blood red, “…Try to steal Chloe from me, just try… I guarantee your head will be rolling the moment you touch my horse.” She was quite protective of her horse.

“Oh…” Victor’s smile grew, and he started to stare at Eleanor.

“Victor is acting like a hooligan.” Pepper muttered.

“But hasn’t he always acted like this?” Siena spoke.

“… Of course not.” Pepper took a while to respond.

“Usually, he has mother’s attitude, the difference is he’s not mother, so we thought he was a Hooligan.” Lacus explained.

“OHHH.” The two understood each other now.

Suddenly.

BOOOOOM!

The front door was slammed open.

“….” The group looked towards the door and saw a woman with long black hair and violet eyes. She was being accompanied by another woman who looked like her.

Two wild princesses appeared, and they brought their guards.

“OPHIS!”

“Geh.” Ophis’ face distorted a little.

“What do you mean by ‘GEH’? Huh?”

“…” Ophis turned away and ignored her sister.

“I finally found you, you should go home.” Elizabeth demanded,

“Kotowaru!.” Ophis’ face, for a moment, seemed to grow more mature.

“…” The two sisters looked at Ophis in shock and then looked at Victor:

“What did you teach her?”

“Why did the blame fall on me? I did nothing.” He felt unjustified, but soon his mood changed, and he looked at the guards with his gaze glowing blood-red:

“You all wait outside.”

“…We don’t follow-.” The guard leader wanted to say something, but Victor didn’t give a damn.

“I said…” Victor’s voice started to get darker, and he ordered with eyes glowing blood red, “You all wait outside.”

The guards’ bodies trembled a little, they felt a chill down their spines, and in that very second, they lost consciousness and became puppets:

“Yes, Master.”

All the guards turned and left the mansion.

“….” A silence fell over the place.

Pepper and Lilith’s faces looked a little red, while Elizabeth looked at Victor with a little fear that soon disappeared.

“Father is cool.” Ophis’ eyes gleamed. She felt no fear, but soon her face became strange.

“…Cool Father?”

“Father cool… Huh?” She seemed to be trying to unravel a divine mystery.

Rumble, Rumble.

Natashia and Sasha appeared alongside Victor.

“Oh, the group has grown…” Sasha said.

“Will you come?” Victor asked.

“We can’t?” The two asked at the same time.

He flashed a gentle little smile and said, “I didn’t say that.”

“…” The two smiled a little.

“Kaguya.” Victor spoke aloud, and soon a shadow left the ground.

Victor looked into Kaguya’s eyes:

I will go visit Big Guy and that strange tree, take care of the house for me.

…Will you go alone?

Natashia and Sasha will be with me… And Eleanor too

At least take a Maid, master.

Which do you suggest?

Eve… She is very unstable these days, she needs your attention.

…I didn’t realize that…. Victor felt bad about it.

No need to feel this way, master. Your head was full of training and concern for your wives. It’s understandable.

But don’t forget about us…

Victor looked seriously at Kaguya:

That will never happen… After all, you are my lovely Maids.

…I know… Kaguya displayed a small smile. Throughout the past year, Victor always paid attention to the Maids, it was only when he was close to returning to Nightingale that he didn’t look at them much, but that was understandable.

AND…

‘There is me.’ Kaguya was there to look after the maids as well when her master was too busy.

“….” The group fell silent when they saw Victor looking at Kaguya silently.

“… This is weird.” Pepper spoke.

“Yes.” They all agreed for different reasons, they knew he was talking to Kaguya, but it was in a way they couldn’t understand.

Only Elizabeth and Lilith didn’t know what was going on, and because of that, they agreed with what Pepper said.

“Hmm…” Natashia looked at this with a bit of envy.

Sasha and even his maids had something special with Victor, only she and Scathach had nothing! This was unfair! Older women need something too!

Her eyes gleamed with determination while she seemed to be thinking about something.

“I am going.” Victor spoke as he turned and looked at a woman.

“…Eh?” Eleanor felt a bad feeling when she saw Victor’s eyes.

“Be careful, master.”

“Thank you, My Maid.”

Before Victor left, Ophis suddenly appeared beside him and held Victor’s hand:

“Hmm?”

“Father… Blood… Hungry…” She spoke in a monotone, but everyone could understand her intentions.

“Wha-…” The two sisters’ world seemed to have frozen, and they looked at Ophis with a shocked look.

He looked at the little girl in a gentle tone and said, “… I’ll come back quickly. If you’re still here, I’ll give you my blood, okay?”

“Ugh… Okay…”

Rumble, Rumble.

Victor disappeared, leaving lightning trails behind, and appeared in front of Eleanor as he raised the woman like a princess.

“Huh…? Let me go-.”

“Don’t open your mouth or scream. You will bite your tongue.”

Rumble, Rumble.

Victor disappeared again.

“Yep, she was kidnapped.” Siena spoke.

“I hope her butler doesn’t know this, he’ll be pissed.” Lacus spoke.

“Who cares? Victor doesn’t seem to mind either.”

“…. Well, yes.” Lacus couldn’t help but agree with Pepper.

Sasha and Natashia looked at each other, and then.

Rumble, Rumble.

The two followed Victor.

“….” The three sisters and Kaguya looked at the two princesses,

“They’re going to explode any moment…” Kaguya predicted, and she quickly put her hands to her ears.

The three sisters imitated what Kaguya did and waited.

Veins started popping in the two sisters’ heads when they saw Ophis’ face, and they screamed.

“ALUCARD!!!”
