Chapter 263: Witch Wants The … Of Alucard.
While Victor and the others were away, an unexpected visitor came to Scathach's mansion.
Step, step.
Walking with calm steps, a woman in a very revealing black dress appeared. She was wearing a black witch's hat, and she had a bone staff in her hand.
"...Scathach's mansion..." The woman looked at the mansion with a neutral gaze. Knowing the owner's personality, she didn't go far and stayed only at the mansion's gate, but even that big gate could not block her vision.
She looked to the right and narrowed her eyes a little.
'So it was true...' She had received some information that Anderson had visited the new Count. She initially doubted this information, after all, what kind of madman would visit his 'enemy', but it seemed that it was actually true.
'That idiot sent his son to his death?' Thinking a little about the werewolf king's personality, the woman understood one thing.
'He just wanted to send someone to test the new Count's power, huh...' She found this attitude rather silly and simple-minded, but it was an attitude that suited what kind of beings the werewolf race were.
... A strange thing was happening. Even though the woman was standing in front of Scathach's mansion, and despite the woman wearing a rather flashy outfit, the vampires passing outside seemed to be completely ignoring her existence.
Not a single vampire was looking at her with curious eyes.
Selena awoke from stupor when she felt something watching her, she narrowed her eyes a little and lifted her face towards the gate, and when she looked up, she saw the neutral gaze of a maid with oriental features looking down upon her.
"Witch, what do you want?"
"... You can see me?" Selena opened her mouth, a little surprised. With the magic she was using now, it should have been impossible for anyone to see her. Despite it being a relatively simple magic spell, with the level that Selena had reached, she could practically become invisible and hide her 'aura' and 'smell' from any being, but even so, this woman was staring at her as if she were seeing her.
'Of course, I can see those two giant pieces of meat that you're carrying, everyone can see it from KMs away.' The Maid thought, and, even though she had never met the woman before, Kaguya was already against her.
Why? After all, the witch didn't do anything against Kaguya or Victor's family, so why was the Maid against her?
... It was simple, Kaguya was in a bad mood...
She usually got this way when her master wasn't around.
But as a Maid, she wouldn't express those feelings... She preferred to remain silent...
BUT! When a woman with a 'huge' front commission appeared, she felt like taking her frustration out on this woman.
Yes, she was just being mean... Although she didn't say anything yet, she just thought negatively about her.
After all, the Chief Maid's reputation directly affected her master, and she didn't want to harm her master's reputation for something she did...
Although Victor wouldn't mind that.
"...." Realizing that the maid was silent and just watching her with a neutral gaze, Selena sighed and said:
"I want to meet Count Alucard." Selena didn't reveal much, considering everything indicated that the woman in front of her was a maid and not someone important enough to know other information.
"..." Kaguya's eyes narrowed, a Witch visiting a Count? That certainly wasn't a good thing, and mostly...
'This witch... She stinks.' Kaguya could smell the stench of death coming from her, and, looking at the woman's staff, she thought:
'A necromancy user?' Kaguya didn't understand anything now. What did a necromancy user want with her master?
Normally, a necromancy user only left the witch world when she wanted to get 'ingredients', ie... Corpses for her research.
"What's your name, Witch?" Kaguya decided to ask the woman's name since she couldn't make a proper decision of what to do if she didn't know the woman's affiliation.
"...My name is Selena Moriarty, one of the 7 daughters of the Witch Queen." She spoke with a small smile, her expression not showing any kind of emotion, just a feeling of neutrality.
"...." Kaguya's eyes glowed blood red for a few seconds, as she understood everything now.
'I knew that one of the Witch Queen's daughters was in this world, but I didn't think she would visit my master.' She learned of this information from Violet that informed everyone of Nightingale's situation; this happened before the girls came to this world.
That is, 1 year and six months ago in Kaguya's time perception.
Kaguya started to think about what to do. The most obvious solution here was for her to expel the Witch, but this could trigger an unnecessary conflict with the witch queen's daughter, something Kaguya didn't have enough authority to do without Victor's permission.
'I need the wives' opinion.' She made the most logical decision in this situation.
"Wait here." Kaguya turned and disappeared into the shadows.
"..." Selena narrowed her eyes when she saw the power Kaguya used, 'That Clan, huh...'
Realizing that a member of Clan Blank was here, she decided to be more careful than usual. After all, that clan specialized in assassinations, and that was the witches' weakest point.
'A small barrier throughout the body will do.' Although this small action consumed a large amount of mana, Selena didn't care since she needed to be careful.
...
Kaguya appeared in the mansion's living room and saw Scathach and Violet acting lazy while the two were lying on the couch in the living room.
Violet didn't have much to do, and she didn't want to do anything either, so she decided to sleep.
Scathach was going to train, but... She ran out of motivation to train without Victor around, and because of that, she decided to sleep too. But despite 'sleeping', her senses never weakened.
Ruby was not present, so Kaguya deduced that she was likely in her lab.
"Who is it?" Scathach asked without opening her eyes.
Kaguya wasn't surprised by Scathach's sudden voice, "A witch. Precisely speaking, a daughter of the witch queen."
"..." Scathach opened both eyes and looked at Kaguya, while getting up from the couch and assuming a sitting position, she asked:
"What's her name?"
"Selena Moriarty."
Scathach narrowed her eyes, "…The first daughter, huh."
"What does she want?" Violet asked.
Kaguya looked at Violet and saw the woman's lifeless face.
Violet was already in defensive mode, or as Ruby dubbed it, 'yandere' mode.
"She wants to make a business proposal with my master."
"...." Violet made a strange face when she heard what Kaguya said.
"Did the queen's own daughter come to make a deal with my Darling?" The very thought of it was strange, considering if we talk about riches, the queens' daughters were the richest women in all the witch kingdoms, so they didn't need resources.
"Hmm..." Violet's head started to heat up a little, and smoke started to come out of her head.
"Yes, it's weird, isn't it?" Scathach spoke in obvious disdain since she could see the witches' target miles away.
"...?" Violet looked at Scathach with a look full of questions, "What do you mean?"
"My foolish disciple is the Count responsible for the exploration of Nightingale." Scathach spoke those simple words.
"Oh... They're interested in the lands outside of Nightingale, huh?"
"Indeed, by the decree of the Vampire King, this entire 'planet' is owned by vampires, even if this planet is not fully explored yet."
"Does she want to use my Darling to get these lands?"
"Maybe?" Scathach spoke.
"..." Violet narrowed her eyes. She didn't like what she heard at all.
"Remember that Vlad has complete control over who enters and leaves this world. After all, the Clan responsible for this directly serves him."
"Alioth, huh."
"Yes."
"..." Kaguya was silent throughout the conversation. It wasn't a Maid's place to intrude on a conversation of her master's 'wives'... Normally, it was supposed to be this way, but she was different now.
Despite being a Maid, she was known to Violet and Scathach, and she also represented Clan Alucard when her master was not present.
"Basically, she wants to go into business with my master so that in the future, when my master explores these lands, she will ask for a piece of 'land' for her, effectively gaining a base from the witches in this world and all of this legally. " Kaguya's brain worked fast, and she already understood the woman's purpose.
And that's to say... She didn't like it at all.
"Bitch..." And neither did Violet.
"Yes, but… This is a hypothetical situation." Scathach raised an important point.
"Remember that the woman didn't necessarily say that."
"...." Kaguya and Violet were silent.

A silence fell around the three women who seemed to be thinking about what to do, but soon a voice appeared near them:
"Let her in."
"...Daughter?" Scathach looked at Ruby, who had just arrived.
"Are you back Ruby?"
"Yes, I noticed the visitor, and I decided to leave my lab." Ruby spoke as she cracked her neck a little, took off her white coat, and placed it beside the sofa. She straightened her clothes, tossed her long red hair back, and assumed a 'dignified' look.
She stretched her body a little, and during all these simple movements, her whole body seemed to glow with mature eroticism, and the two 'mountains' seemed to be moving as if trying to mesmerize the audience.
A vein bulged in Kaguya and Violet's head; 'Is she looking to pick a fight?' The two thought at the same time.
"Back to the subject." Ruby assumed a serious expression, she ignored the annoyed look of the two women and spoke:
"We'll let the witch in and make her wait for Victor."
"...Huh? Why?" Violet didn't understand.
"You forgot?"
"....?" Violet didn't understand what Ruby was implying.
"Although we are 'married' to Darling, this is not 'legally' materialized."
"...Oh." Violet understood now. If you were going to talk on intimate terms, the three women were already married to Victor, considering they shared the same bed and a pact that will last for eternity, but...
Legally speaking, they weren't married to anyone yet, since the implications of the three of them marrying Victor were pretty big.
This would basically tell the world that Clan Fulger, Scarlett, and Snow supported Clan Alucard and were in an alliance with them.
And that would be ridiculous; three houses of vampire counts supporting just one vampire house?
In the public eye, this could be considered an attempt to monopolize power or a 'rebellion' against Vlad.
And all the women present seemed to understand that fact.
"We can't make a decision that involves my husband's Clan. Only two other people can do that." Ruby explained and looked at Kaguya:
"And they are Kaguya and Eve."
"...." An awkward silence fell over the place.
And then Kaguya said, "I know that, but... I can't make this decision without consulting my master's wives." After all, that kind of decision involved Victor's entire clan.
And even though they weren't wives on paper, the women present there now were still Victor's wives.
Kaguya could listen to their opinion and act accordingly.
"..." Ruby and Violet flashed a small smile.
'Wedding...' Scathach was silent while she seemed to be thinking about something important.
"Just one thing, don't follow my mother's opinion too much, her opinion tends to be very... destructive." Ruby couldn't find the best word to describe it.
"I know." Kaguya flashed a small smile and then disappeared into the shadows, "I'll be back soon."
"... Curious, why didn't you tell her not to follow my opinion too?"
Ruby cracked her neck again and thought; 'I need another massage from Darling...' Her face turned a little red when she thought about it, considering every time Victor gave her a massage, she knew that ' that' would happen soon after. Her nether regions twitched a little in anticipation as she remembered that feeling.
"Even though you are what you are, you still have your head on straight, and you've learned to control your jealousy and your anger." Despite thinking about things not safe for kids, Ruby gave an appropriate response that matched her current thinking of Violet.
She looked at the woman who looked a little shocked and said, "You just have to be more sure of yourself, and eventually, you will become a leader like your mother."
"...But I'm confident in myself." Violet narrowed her eyes and looked at Ruby's breasts which seemed to have gotten a little bigger again, or was it just her impression?
'Of course, it's not my impression! She received nutrients from Victor for an entire year! She monopolized him!'
"I'm not talking about that."
"Huh!?" Violet glared at Ruby.
"I'm saying you should be cooler when dealing with other women and not let your jealousy cloud your judgment."
"…Huh?"
"Darling is like you and me. He will not betray us."
"I know that. I always knew." Violet spoke in a neutral tone, that was a fact she had always known.
"The thing is, when I think about a bitch approaching my Darling, my head is full of... inappropriate thoughts." Violet's eyes were pure now...
Pure darkness.
"I trust Darling, I don't trust the women he looks at, I feel like I must make them disappear before they attract his attention."
"... Well, that I can agree with you." Ruby spoke with the same eyes as Violet since she couldn't deny that, when looking at Mizuki, she had felt the same thing.
A possessive jealousy that could end up in tragedy.
"But I've learned to control it when Darling loved me every night." Ruby flashed a gentle smile, and her eyes seemed to be glowing softly with a red light.
"...." Veins started bulging in Violet's head, her eyes glowed blood red, and she looked at Ruby's amorous state with an even more irritated expression than before.
As expected, this Bitch was looking to pick a fight with her!
Step, Step.
Hearing footsteps approaching, the three women came out of their thoughts and looked towards the entrance of the mansion.
