"Double cultivation?" Victor, Violet, and Sasha are confused.
Somehow Ruby and Lacus heaved a sigh of relief when they realized that only they understood.
"Pepper! Stop talking nonsense!" Ruby speaking.
"Awawawa, I'm sorry! But you blushed, and you're acting weird, I think-"
"Stop! Okay fine! We understand!" Lacus shut Pepper's mouth.
"Hmmhmmmm," Pepper tried to say something, but only a strange sound came out of his mouth.
"Don't let him say anything!" Ruby ordered.
"I know!" Lacus speaking.
"Enough," said Siena, trying to bring order to the situation, she looked at her mother.
"Hmm? What's the matter, Siena? I was having fun~" Scathach said. To him, a bored person, seeing his daughter play with his daughter-in-law was something fun.
"Mom, why did Lady Victoria declare war?" Siena asked in a serious tone.
"!!!" Hearing that familiar name, Sasha reacted, "Auntie? What did my aunt do?"
"Oh, he proposed a game with the Horseman Clan to regain the lost Fulger Clan title" Scathach replied.
"What!?" Sasha was shocked, she never expected that such a selfish, narcissistic, arrogant aunt would do such a thing. She was pretty sure her aunt didn't do it to help her Clan.
"Klan the Horseman accepts? What's the bet this time?" ask Siena.
"Klan Horseman? I have never heard of this Clan," asked Violet.
"I also want to know" said Victor.
"Oh, I'll let you two discuss the matter." Ruby began to explain to Violet and Victor who the Horseman Clan was.
"Victoria just wants the vampire count title, and she's risking all her wealth."
"..." - ".Siena fell silent.
"Is he crazy!? His equity was absurd; over three trillion dollars were counted from illegal and legal businesses; why would he hand him over for just one title?" Sasha speaking.
Pepper and Lacus, realizing that the conversation had become 'boring', decided to close their eyes and go to sleep; they were too lazy to think about it.
"You don't know why because you're only a member of the Clan, but the title of Vampire Count is very important," Siena said, and Scathach nodded in agreement.
"What do you mean?"
"Sorry, I can't say it. Only Clan leaders who held the title of Count could know this information."
Sasha frowned, then she looked to Scathach for an answer.
"Don't look at me, boy." He said and continued, "This is something I can't even talk about."
"Tsk," Sasha did not like, she looked at Siena, "And how do you know that?"
"Oh, it's because I took the Count's job in my mother's place."
"... Is this allowed?"
"If the king approves, then yes, it is permissible." Siena smiled
"..." - ".Sasha frowned in annoyance upon seeing Siena's smile; for some reason, she didn't like that smile.
"That's it..." Victor spoke as he finished listening to Ruby's entire explanation of the Horseman Clan.
"...Why didn't my mom tell me about this? It's an important matter." Violet asked herself.
"You might leave the house and not even want to talk to her, right?" Ruby speaking.
"..." - ".Violet fell silent, she knew Ruby was right.
"Scathach, tell me about Sasha's family situation; you should know more about that, right?" Victor said in a serious tone that was unnatural.
"Oh…? What would you do if you knew?" Scathach smile.
All the women looked at Victor, waiting for his answer; even Pepper and Lacus, who decided to go to sleep, were a little interested in Victor's answer.
"It depends on the situation," Victor began to speak.
"If Sasha is being 'owned' by someone else because of a stupid bet made by her stupid mother..." He looked at Sasha, "Sorry to have offended my mother-in-law."
"It's okay. He's an idiot, everybody knows that"
"..." - ".Violet and Ruby were a little surprised to hear Sasha using such inappropriate words.
"Then? What are you gonna do?" Scathach seemed more interested than usual.
Victor spoke in a stern tone as if it was the absolute truth, "Train, become stronger, and no matter how long, I will slaughter that entire Clan... Nobody touches my wife and gets away with it."
"..." - ".Scathach's smile grew, he seemed to like the answer.
"Victor~" Sasha smiled.
"Hmm, maybe I'll make my mom lose the bet too." said Violet; she was jealous.
The slap!
Ruby hit Violet on the head.
"Ouch!" Violet held her head in pain: "What are you doing, ******!?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Don't you realize that when he says 'wife', he also includes us?"
"Oh," Violet opened her mouth.
"And what would you do if Sasha didn't belong to anyone and her family just lost the title count?" Siena asked a little curiously.
Victor looked at Siena and replied in a disinterested tone, "I won't do anything."
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Siena and Sasha spoke in unison.
"Sasha is fine, and for me, that's what matters. Now, if he wants to regain that stupid title, I'll support him, and if he wants my help, I'll help him, but other than that, I won't intervene." It's not like since he lost the vampire count title, he's going to be poor.
"Stupid title..." Siena tried not to strangle this man.
"...You believe in your wife very much" Scathach said in a neutral tone.
Victor looked at Scathach and displayed a gentle smile, "If I don't trust my wife, who else? I always believed in them, from the beginning." He spoke with absolute confidence in what he said.
"...I see," She showed a small smile on her face.
"Winner!" Sasha suddenly hugged Victor.
"...?" He did not understand, but he did not deny his embrace; feeling a small tear on his shirt, he was slightly shaken.
"T-Nothing.-" He spoke, a little sobbing. "Let me stay like this for a minute." She had no idea what she was feeling but somehow heard Victor's confident words, she remembered talking to Julia; 'when did I become so emotional? I'm not like that...'
"Your mother, you can hug me as you like~" She chuckled, then she started caressing her head.
"...Not fair... This bitch-" Violet suddenly covered her mouth with Ruby's hand.
"Read the atmosphere, damn it!" Ruby spoke in a low voice.
"... Hmhmmh," She tried to say something, but Ruby didn't understand.
"satisfied? Nowow. Explain it to me" said Victor as he looked at Scathach.
"Brat, you must have had more" Siena would say something, she was already annoyed to see Victor treating her mother so casually.
Victor looked at Siena as his eyes glowed red, "Shut up. You're a bitch."
"!!?" Siena felt her body tremble, she tried to say something, but her mouth could not move, she could not move her body: she could not move:
"Yes, I'll be quiet," he spoke in a monotone tone.
"Good." He nodded in satisfaction; "Finally, he was silent." He thinks.
"Oh?" Scathach looked at him curiously, he remembered seeing him in the past.
Kaguya also recalled a similar situation that had happened to her; 'That again, didn't she realize what she had just done?' He thought as he looked at Siena's reaction.
Violet Violet's eyes sparkled slightly when she saw Siena's reaction, she remembered that something happened in the past with the two novice hunters.
"Sister? Why are you standing like a robot?" Pepper asked curiously, he pinched Siena's cheek, but the older sister did not move.
Lacus, who saw everything that happened, only looked with curious sparkling eyes.
Scathach looked at Victor and said, "Sasha's situation is exactly the second situation." He completely ignored his daughter's condition.
"Oh?"
"Klan the Horseman asks for a game with Sasha's mother, and the bet is the title of vampire Count." He explained and then added, "Klan Horsemen bet on something very unique ..."
"Something that even a vampire who lived more than 1900 years, and was extremely bored, would be curious enough to risk the title of Count."
He put on a disgusted face, "They bet hybrids."
The entire room became quiet as they heard what he said.
...
Lucy's Underground Base.
"Successfully" Lucy smiled in satisfaction, she saw a white coffin open with a black cross symbol.
And on the floor were some red magic symbols; the symbols seemed to have been made with blood.
"Yes, all we have to do now is fill the coffin with the blood of innocents and noble vampires~."
"If things go as we planned, we'll be glorious vampires!"
"Indeed," Lucy nodded in satisfaction, spending almost her entire fortune to hire a corrupt witch does not seem to go to waste.
"What are you doing with that sacred artifact? That one spear seemed to be quite powerful," asked Karen.
"I threw it in the trash" Lucy replied.
"..." - ".Karen fell silent, she even thought she had been deaf for a few seconds. "...What are you doing with that sacred artifact?" He decided to ask again.
"I threw it in the trash" Lucy replied.
"..."
Lucy looked at Karen, and when she saw her inattentive expression, she explained, "The only ones who can use these artifacts are the hunters. If I sell it to the witches, those whores will sell information from me to the hunters, so the artifact is useless, and I throw it in the trash."
"...Can't you keep an artifact or something?"
"Keep? Where's where?" She asked.
"..." - ".Karin could not answer.
"And I'm also not a fool who would keep a deadly weapon that I can't even use in my house." Lucy grunts.
"Because of that, I threw it in the trash."
"... Makes sense" Karen finds no argument to refute Lucy's decision, and the spear has an ancient look. In fact, the item did not even have a weapon-like look; it looked like a spear-shaped white wood.
"Where did you throw the spear?"
"In the Violet region."
"..." - ".Somehow Karen had a bad feeling about this.
"Can't you throw it somewhere else!? At sea or something!?"
"The hunters would have picked up the spear if I did that; they somehow managed to track the object, you remember, right? Every time we go somewhere, there's a hunter waiting as if they know where we're going"
"...Yeah, if it wasn't for that wicked witch, we'd be lost."
"seen? When the magician's spell ran out, I threw the spear into Violet's territory. If the hunters found the spear, they would automatically link the incident with the Snow Clan."
Karen started thinking, and after a few seconds, she said:
"Hmm, I think you made a stupid decision."
"Huh?"
"Did you forget they knew you stole the artifact?"
"Did?" Lucy opened her eyes, then said, "Of course I didn't forget! But they don't know who I'm working for!"
"...Is your brain melting? Hunters aren't stupid, they can hate vampires and blame everything they do on us, but that's stupid."
"First, you stole an artifact, and they know it; everyone knows it. Secondly, that Snow Clan princess had met the hunters, and they must have known she did not have the artifact. Third, did you see the Vatican incident? ? It was probably retaliation from the lady***** that crazy; some stupid hunter must have hurt his daughter."
"Hunters should know that the three noble clans who were in the incident were not involved in this theft. Come on, what would a vampire over 1500 years old want with such an artifact? They are basically useless to them after this. everything is as you say; only hunters can use those weapons."
Realizing the important point she made, Lucy said, "A Karen with a brain."
"Huh!?" Karen's face turned angry.
"OK, Okay," Lucy retreated, "I'll take the spear, and I'll throw it further, okay?" she said. He would never admit that he did not think about it deeply; lucy was so pleased with his plan that she completely forgot about the details.
"Throw the artifact as far as possible, better under the sea or something," Karen suggested and added with a serious gaze, "Don't mess with us now. We're almost done with what we want to be centuries."
"... Okay." Okay."
Lucy picked up the phone and dialed the number; then she put it in her ear:
"Johnny? I have a job for you."
