Chapter 258: My Mother in law's Patience Disappeared
[A/N: second Ruby sketch is ready, go check out in Pa treon... is free do not worry. I'll see you later, guys. Oh, I forgot to say something, I know everyone is confused about what happened in the year, but I'm slowly revealing and throwing clues all over the place, I don't want to spill information on you, that would be boring.]
....
"Calm down."
"Huh...?" The woman seemed to wake up to reality, and she looked at Victor with a shocked expression.
She looked at Victor's hand that hit her face.
"!!!" Eleanor's whole body trembled, and her face turned a little red in embarrassment, but quickly turned red with rage:
"What the hell are you doing!?" She roared angrily, now directed at Victor.
"I asked you the same." Victor narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"What are you doing?"
"I will kill the monster!" Eleanor stated her intentions clearly.
"Which Monster?" Victor asked.
"Huh...?" She looked at Victor with an expression that couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Of course it's him..." She pointed at the gorilla, but suddenly, she opened her mouth in shock, "Eh...?"
Watching the gorilla with a calmer gaze, she saw that he was a demonic beast.
"Oh, he's a demon beast..." She said,
"...." Natashia facepalmed, she knew Eleanor's situation, but she didn't expect the woman to have that side to her. For a moment, she looked like a berserker, a creature that destroyed everything and everyone in her path through anger.
A comparison that didn't match the usual Eleanor.
Seeing that Eleanor was calmer, Victor took the stone sword she created and placed it on his shoulder, as he looked at the woman:
"Watch them both, and tell me what you think, you must have more experience with demon beasts and monsters than anyone else present."
"..." Eleanor looked at Victor, and observing the certainty he spoke about her knowing this kind of creature, she understood something.
"...You know about my family's work."
"Yes, of course. Remember what I am now?"
"...Oh." For a moment, she'd forgotten he was a Count, and obviously, Vampire Count would know that information.
The problem is when? When did he receive this information? Normally, when Vlad was going to share this kind of information with another Count, Eleanor would be called upon to make a secret contract.
A contract that prevented the Count or anyone who knew about it from revealing such sensitive information. This was mainly to prevent leaks, for example, Agnes telling Violet about a confidential subject and it going public due to Violet's carelessness, creating a mess.
'Oh... Did he learn about it from Violet?' She thought it was quite possible, after all, given how long the two of them were always together, she must have told Victor a thing or two about her family's work.
'Well, it's not important how he learned it, I can ask about it later. But, first, I need to know something.'
Eleanor sighed a little wearily, now that she was calmer, she was using her brain more appropriately, and she understood that Victor wanted something from her here. After all, he wasn't going to bring someone who specialized in what she does to this place, just for the hell of it, right?
He must have a bigger goal.
"What exactly do you want me to do?" She asked Victor directly.
"...?" Victor looked at the woman strangely, didn't he just answer?
Thinking she misheard, he spoke again, "I want you to take a look at them both and tell me what you think."
Eleanor used her brain again, and soon she understood, "...Oh."
"Do you want me to tell you the difference between them and monsters?"
"That too." Victor spoke as he turned and walked over to Eve.
"Too?"
Seeing that Victor had already moved away from her, a vein bulged on Eleanor's forehead because it seemed to her that Victor just couldn't be clear with what he wanted? She was getting angry for no reason at all because of it.
"... Master?" Eve looked at Victor, who was standing in front of her.
"Good job, Eve." He stroked the girl's head a little and flashed a gentle smile.
"...." The girl showed a small imperceptible smile and didn't say anything else.
"...She's definitely enjoying this." Natashia whispered to Sasha.
"Shhh, don't talk too loud." Sasha whispered back.
"I am not." Natashia looked at her daughter with a dry look.
"Yes, you are. You have a habit of talking very loudly." Sasha quickly countered.
"... I do not." Natashia denied this baseless accusation. She was a noble and classy woman, she would not commit such vulgarity.
While stroking the girl's head, Victor began to speak, "I know you just got back, but I have a job for you."
"…Hmm?" Eve looked at Victor with a neutral gaze, but inside, she was thinking:
'Ugh, another job, our master is very strict, I don't want to work! I want affection! Too much fucking attention! I am your lovely Maid!'
Veins started popping in Eve's head when she heard the other voice in her head, and she said, 'Shut fuck up.'
"Whatever Master wishes, I will do-."
Victor stopped stroking Eve's head and started squeezing her head.
"Ugh…." Eve held her head and made a crying face.
"I've told you a thousand times, stop attempting to imitate Kaguya."
"...." Eve pouted and was silent.
"We've already talked about this, and I'll repeat it here again."
Victor pats Eve's head and says, "You're not Kaguya."
"You are Eve Alucard."
"..." Eve opened her eyes a little, as she seemed to be speechless when she heard what Victor said.
All of his Maids had a strange habit. They always tried to imitate Kaguya since, for them, the Maid with oriental characteristics was an example to be followed.
That was an attitude that Victor didn't really mind with the others. However, when it came to Eve, he didn't take too kindly to it. After all, the rest were free to do whatever they wanted, but... Eve was different since, unlike the Maids he created, she was an 'Alucard'; she was a member of his clan.
Initially, she was supposed to be trained another way, since she was supposed to be trained to replace Kaguya as the second-in-command of all Maids, she was supposed to be trained so in case Victor was absent, she would assume all the clan's responsibilities, upholding her role as an Alucard'.
She was just that important.
Initially, Victor didn't understand the consequences of naming someone with the same last name as him, and he had just wanted the girl who just lost her parents to have a new 'home'.
Because of this, Victor didn't want Eve to imitate Kaguya. He wanted her to be more honest with herself.
Sigh.
Although he understood that that was impossible:
'Eve is very suspicious of anyone other than me, and, even now, she doesn't let her guard down.'
What Eve felt was understandable, considering she'd spent several years being exploited, she couldn't trust anyone that easily, even so...
She had a good relationship with Ruby, she even spent a lot of time talking to Ruby.
When Victor heard stories about it, it put a smile on his face, but...
Upon hearing Eve's actions from Ruby herself, Victor understood that the Maid he created was just being 'professional' with his wife, and she didn't really become a 'friend' with Ruby.
Because her attitude towards Ruby was the same attitude she has towards everyone, but it was very different from the attitude she had when she was alone with him.
Did Victor regret killing Eve's parents? Of course not, in his view, those beings weren't Eve's parents. They were just worms that were taking advantage of a little girl.
The only thing Victor regretted a little was not always being there for Eve, which was something he tried to do every day since he always tried to keep an eye on his Maids.
It was his commitment he had with his Maids.
He created them, so they were his responsibility, all their problems, all their worries, everything was Victor's responsibility.
Roberta was a good example... That woman's problem were a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment, but even so, after fighting the woman in the past, Victor decided to accept her as a Maid.
And he knew that in doing so, he would have to solve a big problem in the future... A problem of Divine proportions...
But that's something he was definitely looking forward to in the future.
That thought only put a smile on Victor's face.
"Use your power and help Sasha. With you here, it should be easy to get all the beasts' attention." Victor ordered, and soon, he stopped stroking his Maid's head.
"...Yes, Master." Eve awoke from stupor and spoke with a smile on her face.
"..." Victor displayed a satisfied smile.
He turned and pointed to Eleanor, "You."
"Me?" Eleanor pointed to herself.
"Yes. You stay here and calm down, I want to talk to you when I get back."
"..." Eleanor narrowed her eyes.
"Like I've said thousands of times, I can refuse, you know?" She flatly stated at Victor's imposition. She wouldn't be sent around like a subordinate!
"Oh..." Victor's smile grew a little, "You're going to disobey, huh." He cracked a single knuckle on his left hand as he looked like he was about to do something to her.
Eleanor's body shook a little when she saw Victor's smile, and her face turned a little red with embarrassment, 'What is he going to do?' Somehow, she was a little expectant, but she quickly regained her common sense and screamed to herself:
'What am I so excited about!?'
"That woman..." Natashia narrowed her eyes when she saw Eleanor's state.
"Hmm, she's giving me a weird feeling." Sasha couldn't understand that feeling she felt when she looked at Eleanor.
Unlike the sense of danger she got when Victor looked at a woman who was crazy in the head when she looked at Eleanor, she just felt…
Strange.
"Fine." Victor's whole atmosphere became more neutral now.
"Eh?"
"You are a countess, you can do what you want." Victor turned around and started walking towards the exit of the forest:
"I'll be back soon, Big Guy."
"Uru." The gorilla nodded and stood up, waiting for the women to do their job.
"…Huh?" Looking at Victor's back as it began to disappear, she somehow felt…disappointed? It was as if she was about to eat a big delicious pizza, and that pizza was taken away by the waiter because it was the wrong order she made.
Even though she'd never had pizza in her life...
"Hahahaha, he really is something else." Natashia couldn't help but laugh in an amused voice, and at the same time, a dangerous air around her manifested as she looked at Victor.
'I must secure my position before another woman appears...' Natashia felt disgusted at the thought that another woman could get ahead of her after so many things she had to do.
"Mother?" Sasha looked confused at her mother. Why was she suddenly laughing?
Natashia didn't explain anything and just said, "I'll accompany you, I'll be back soon." She spoke in a neutral tone.
"..." Sasha narrowed her eyes since she found her mother's reaction strange.
"...Don't worry, I haven't forgotten our purpose in coming here."
"Eh...?" Is she talking about being alone with him? Sasha asked.
"Before he goes back to the mansion, I'll make sure he fucks you." She spoke in a dry, definitive tone. She understood that before she could take the initiative for herself, her daughter must go first.
"......" Sasha's entire face turned completely red.
Natashia understood something fundamental in her pursuit of Victor:
'He must first fuck my daughter, then he'll fuck me...' She couldn't stand to wait any longer since she was never good at waiting for anything, and seeing that she was close to achieving her goal, she grew more impatient with each passing second, but even so, she was holding back.
But... Her patience literally disappeared when she saw new women suddenly appear as if they were being summoned by a witch. [Eleanor, Lilith, Elizabeth.]
'Fuck the date. I can do it later, I want him inside me now!' She clenched her fist in determination.
... This woman's brain is completely lost.
"M-Mother, what are you talki-!"
Rumble, Rumble!
Sasha was going to say something to her mother, but the woman literally disappeared in lightning and appeared next to Victor.
Victor looked at the woman who appeared beside him and said:
"Shall we?" Victor flashed a small smile at Natashia.
Natashia's heart started to beat crazily, and she almost threw Victor to the ground right there and then:
Gulp.
She swallowed hard, and used the last bit of control that was almost non-existent to hold back, and spoke with a small smile:
"...Yes."
Rumble, Rumble.
The two were covered by lightning and soon disappeared. Chaos would descend today throughout the Nightingale, and this chaos would be caused by two Vampire Counts…
