Vampire Princess and Shield Hero
The past fades

Five minutes of waking up at night Naofumi was sleepy, and Felicia was still relaxed as if she was born as a creature of the night.

However, just now Naofumi was trying to sleep Raphtalia suddenly sat down and cried loudly and it made Naofumi startle, which was very shocking, but Felicia who was a creature that had incredible speed darted and hugged Raphtalia calmed her from the panic.

"Yahoooo!! Daddy's! Mama!" shouting Raphtalia in Felicia's arms, Naofumi silently watched the half-vampire girl tightly hug Raphtalia a demihuman girl with the Raccoon race.

"Pacify yourself Raphtalia, Feli here, don't cry quietly, cup-cup-cup, '" murmured Felicia as she gently stroked the Raccoon's hair and demihuman head. Then without anyone realizing it Felicia calms Raphtalia down by turning the girl's dream into something else, in addition, Felicia also quietly peeked into her memory Raphtalia to find out what causes the panic and trauma the slave girl had.

Before long Raphtalia regained her composure with eyes that continued to emit clear liquid, shortly after Felicia finally came to shed tears after seeing all the bad memories of Raphtalia.

"Feli, are you crying?" naofumi asked Felicia.

"No, my eyes are just dusting away" Felicia murmured with a smile towards Naofumi.

"You're not very good at lying, I know you're very sensitive to the changes in Raphtalia's emotions and other Demihuman conditions. That's because Half Demon like you certainly better understand the suffering of those who are considered different and I also know you are very angry when you see demihumans traded as slaves," Naofumi said as she patted Felicia on the head.

"Nao-kun, do you think we can take good care of Raphtalia?" asked Felicia in a low tone.

Naofumi immediately hugged Felicia and let her orange shirt wet with tears, "Of course we can, however, see you as a mother figure to her."

"Your jokes aren't funny" Felicia muttered as she slapped Naofumi's chest.

"🤣 Ahahahaha but I don't mind if I become a "Dad" Naofumi replied with a laugh

"When have we been this familiar?" muttered softly Felicia who was astonished because she could not be angry at Naofumi.

"What did you say?" ask Naofumi

"It's nothing?" felicia said while pushing Naofumi slowly to make distance.

"You'd better get some sleep" Felicia rubbed her eyes and stood slightly away from Naofumi.

Naofumi only smiled and obeyed Felicia who she could trust a little. Well Naofumi could trust Felicia, because there was indeed not a single sign of her betrayal.

Next day.

Naofumi, Felicia and Raphtalia also walked back to the city of Mellromarck, on the way back they did not waste time by hunting down the small monsters that attacked them and Raphtalia who had started to expert in using weapons, and they did not waste time, so that he can attack without having to wait for the enemy's attack to be resisted by Naofumi.

Naofumi saw it just smiling, because the sacrifice of the money he used to buy Raphtalia was not lost in vain. Naofumi, who saw an enemy eyeing Raphtalia from behind, quickly protected his little slave.

The impact of Naofumi's small shield with a red balloon was heard quite loudly.

Deeengs

"Raphthalias!"

"Okay Sir!" raphtalia exclaimed which quickly slashed at the red ballon. But apparently the red Ballon was too fast for Raphtalia until his attack missed, "Eh?"

"Wire, Raphtalia back my back!" naofumi exclaimed when he saw the red Ballon was about to attack Raphtalia.

Duarrr

All of a sudden the red balloon exploded and it was due to a direct attack from Felicia with her sharp scythe very quickly, "It looks like I can't filter out the enemy very well, sorry," felicia said as she bowed towards the heroes of Shield and Raphtalia.

"Why do you apologize, after all, only one strong enemy is out of your attention, not to mention that you have also finished it, so that no one is injured" Naofumi responded.

"If Nao-kun says so then it's okay, and Raphtalia, are you okay?" felicia asked as she looked at Raphtalia.

"Em thanks to the help of Mr and Mr. Feli," responded Raphtalia.

Felicia only smiled slightly and finally continued their journey calmly. When they reached the town of Mellromarck Naofumi calmly carried Raphtalia once more.

"Gentleman I-I'm still strong walking so you don't have to carry me!" exciting startled Raphtalia.

"Not Mister, I want you to call me father" Naofumi said with a faint smile, well even though Naofumi did not believe in many things. However, even so he can trust anyone who is trusted by Felicia or rather he tries to trust others back by seeing the reaction of Felicia who when close to someone.

"Eh?" said Raphtalia and Felicia who were shocked by what they heard.

"Did I sound weird asking that?" ask Naofumi.

"No, it doesn't matter to me if you want to play families with your slaves, but don't people think you're a freak fetish. Where you'll be seen as liking children and playing father-son games" Felicia said.

"Indeed I thought about it, I already don't care how they look at and judge me, as long as you two by my side I don't matter" Naofumi said.

"You're beyond help, never mind, if you're the father, then who's gonna be the mother?" ask Felicia.

"Of course you are, who else you are" Naofumi responded.

"Well, we're not even married, how can I be her mother" Felicia said, "I'm not old enough to be married either " added Felicia while even throwing her face while blushing embarrassed and about to talk. But he held

"Your age is 19 years old, as long as there is parental consent, you can do it" Naofumi responded.

"I don't have any parents in this world" said Felicia.

"Alright, then we wait another year for you to enter married age," Naofumi responded casually.

Felicia looked silent with flushed cheeks, while Raphtalia just smiled looking at it. After dark days Felicia and Naofumi and Raphtalia were in the herbal shop.

"Nao-kun, as usual I'll just wait outside" murmured softly Felicia

"Me too," Raphtalia responded by entering with Naofumi into the store, if Felicia chose not to enter.

Naofumi simply nodded and entered himself into the Herbal and medicinal plant store.

"Feli-neechan, what makes you clean is to refrain from marrying the master, even though you are very suitable and harmonious, I also do not mind calling Brother Feli as mother or mother," murmuring slowly Raphtalia.

Felicia was speechless to hear it, she then looked at the slave girl and replied, "I just don't want people to look down on Nao-kun, for marrying the little girl."

"Heem🤔 Really?" ask Raphtalia while thinking about something.

"What are you thinking?" felicia asked the raccoon girl.,

"There must be someone who likes women even though he is Loli or has a short body size, Feli-nee" Rapthalia replied

"The problem is that Nao-kun's situation is not yet favorable, if we form a family at this time of fear, Nao-kun will be taken and hanged by the King" Felicia said.

"Yes too. Moreover, there are unpleasant rumors for Goshujin-sama himself at this time" said Rapthalia

"You already know it apparently," said softly Felicia.

"Calm down, if I can't, then you can be his wife, because when your level is high your body will become more plump than me" said Su, who knows the secret of his race Demihuman from Raphtalia's own memory.

'Although I wish I could be a milf' thought Felicia herself

"In my opinion, you prefer you, no matter what your brother Feli is, you will definitely like Kak Feli" said Raphtalia with a smile.

"But it would be strange, if the child is bigger than his mother," Felicia said, turning her face away.

"I don't care at all" Rapthalia replied

"I'm a half demon, even though I look like a human, I have ears and demon blood" Felicia said.

"But sister looks good" said Rapthalia

"You just don't know what I was like before" murmured Felicia who recalled her old memories of killing her own mother on her father's orders.

"Not to worry. Because if I have enough strength, I will protect your brother" said Rapthalia who showed her smiling face

As a result Felicia could not bear to see let alone see the warm smiling face of Rapthalia

"Yes, wait for sister's birthday" murmured Felicia.

"Oh yes Brother Feli, why of the many weapons, why did you choose a scythe?" ask Raphtalia.

"Because this weapon is quite difficult to fend off, well even though I will have difficulty if fighting in a narrow place anyway," Felicia responded.

"so yeah. But it would be nice if you use a knife or dagger if you are faced with such a situation" Rapthalia replied

"Yes later if we already have a lot of money," Felicia replied as she looked at the two children who were playing ball

"Okay sister" replied Rapthalia.

"Raphtalia," call Felicia.

"Yes?" sahut Raphtalia.

"Do you have no problem with this kind of life.hanging is unclear, sleeping in the forest because you have no home, and facing the danger of being in the woods meet monsters, monsters, while the other kids at your age are playing around?" felicia asked Raphtalia as she looked at the two boys playing ball.

"If you look around it is fun, but ... this is much better than in the cage," said Raphtalia.

Hearing this made Felicia even hugged Rapthalia tightly so as not to feel a sadness again, "Sister Feli?"

"Raphtalia .. sorry, if I had come sooner maybe your family would have survived, sorry," murmured softly Felicia as she hugged Raphtalia.

"How do you know about my family?" ask Raphtalia.

"I ...." Felicia is silent and does not want to tell her the reason or what made her know about Raphtalia's father and mother. Because honestly he was afraid whether Rapthalia would hate him or still remain familiar with him

"Sorry to keep you waiting" said Naofumi who came out of the drugstore, "Am I interrupting?" naofumi asked because she saw the scene of her sister in front of her

"No, you came at the right time Nao-kun," Felicia replied.

"Let's have a dark day, it's time to find a place to rest" Felica responded as she stepped away from Raphtalia.

"Feli, did you think of anything?" ask Naofumi.

"It's like whether you're going to kill me, for betraying him, or whether my brother will accept my presence, when he finds out I killed our own mother" Felicia replied.

Raphtalia was shocked to hear that Felicia who she thought was a good person to kill had already killed people, and it was her own mother. Naofumi was also Surprised not to play When Heard this

"I'm a demon it's natural" responded Felicia who saw Naofumi's shocked face.

"Can you explain it?" naofumi asked with a puzzled look, "Don't you also have a heart as a human?"

"All right, I'll explain. My father Edwin Black, he considered humans nothing more than cattle and insects, and he kidnapped Shinganji Kaede, to experiment with creating powerful demons. He impregnated her and gave birth to the first child named Kurenai, he grew up like a human and close to my mother, he hated his father and fought against him. Because it was considered a failure, my father threw it away. Then I who was born as a second child trained and close to my father until I liked my demon side more. Until I finally felt my mother was useless, she asked me to kill her. I did it with pleasure and let the blood stain my body, I was so happy at the time" Felicia said

"That's why I don't know what to say. I'm not a good person, if dad finds me, he'll definitely ask me back and if I refuse he'll kill me, or he'll kill you. I'm sorry to tell you this harsh reality, but I never dared to go against my father" murmured softly Felicia

"Are you going to go back there?" ask Rapthalia sadly

"If he picks me up I won't be able to resist" Felicia replied.

"So yes" said Rapthalia sad including Naofumi because he honestly did not want to lose his party friends

"If that time comes, I hope you're okay" Felicia said

"What are you saying. We will always be together no matter what," Naofumi said, patting Felicia on the head.

Felicia lowered her face, and in silence she did not want to discuss it more, because Felicia was not used to talking much in front of Naofumi.

Her night.

The three of them were seen staying at a hotel or a cheap inn. Because Naofumi was poor, he only booked one room for three.

"Feli, since we're not in the forest, you better go with Raphtalia to sleep first, tonight I want to make herbal medicines, from the rest of the medicinal plants I take," Naofumi said.

"Ep. Come on Raphtalia, we sleep Nao-kun is busy so he chooses to sleep later" Felicia murmured.

Raphtalia just nodded and lay down on the bed, then Felicia lay down beside her and she also hugged Raphtalia, "Good sleep," muttered softly Felicia who directly used her magic to make Raphtalia sleep.

3 Minutes later.

"Feli, I know you don't sleep at all, so go to sleep" Naofumi said, wanting Felicia to sleep.

Felicia who heard that immediately asked, "Are you afraid of me?"

"Oh, your past is too shocking to hear" Naofumi responded.

"All right, I'll change my question. Am I the one who killed the man who gave birth to me worthy of living?" ask Felicia.

"You .. as long as you try to improve yourself, no matter what your past is, you won't let me die" Naofumi replied.

"really? When in fact you just want my strength, just like everyone else," Felicia muttered as she closed her eyes, 'My true intentions are fading and being replaced with new memories from this body, the longer I live, the longer I live, the more memories I forget. Now that it wasn't just my face and my name, I had also forgotten what my father and mother were like before becoming Felicia. I'm afraid, ' Inner Felicia.

...Seriate...
