Chapter 127: The love of a goddess.

A few hours before Victor's announcement as the new Vampire Count.

Agnes Snow and Adonis Snow had returned to their mansion.

"How many visions have you had? And what did you see?" Agnes, who was sitting in a chair beside Adonis' bed who was breathing heavily. He was thin as bones, and all his beauty seemed to have disappeared. He had become a decrepit adult man who looked like he could die at any moment.

'Has his condition worsened so much with just one vision?' Agnes thought worriedly. She was already used to seeing her husband's physical condition, but even if she was used to it, that didn't mean she liked it!

What kind of wife would be happy to see her husband so weakened!?

Adonis spoke between breaths, "I had two visions... I saw... That boy's ascension. He looked so dazzling... And beside him, there were six individuals who seemed to be his trusted individuals..."

Cough.

He coughed up blood onto the mattress.

'Darling' Agnes bit her lip when she saw her husband's condition. 'He seems to be much worse than before'

"In the second vision, I saw our daughter burning the royal capital with her powers... She had an expression of pure hatred on her face."

"..." Agnes bit her fingernails and began to think about Adonis' words.

Adonis Snow had a secret that was known only to a few people, one of them being Vlad Tepes, the king of vampires.

He had a clairvoyant power, a power that was acquired when Agnes Snow turned him into a vampire...

Not even Agnes knew how he acquired such a power. Normally, it wasn't meant to be that way. A commoner vampire doesn't get such an extraordinary power without a reason.

Agnes thought Adonis had gained this power due to the act of copulation he had with the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, and the goddess of the underworld, Persephone.

"Those bitches" Agnes bit her lip until blood came out, feeling very frustrated.

It was not like it was anything new. This kind of weird stuff tended to happen when mortals interacted with gods. After all, gods are stranger beings than vampires.

Adonis' power was so strong that he had never missed a prediction before.

Vlad, the king of vampires, said that Adonis had the power of a god, coming from someone as old and experienced as Vlad; his words carried a great deal of weight.

The power of a god? That would be something to be happy about if the consequences of using such a power weren't too unfair...

Every time he used this power, some of his soul was harmed, not just his soul. His body was also harmed a lot.

As Adonis' body was no longer strong due to the consequences of his parents' incestuous relationships, his body suffered more than usual...

Normally, his body was supposed to get stronger when he became a vampire, but... That didn't seem to be what was happening.

And to make the whole situation even worse, Adonis didn't seem to have control over this power. When facing an event, his power could activate at random...

Because of this, Agnes forbade Adonis from leaving the mansion; she didn't want to lose her husband because of this randomness.

"Tsk." Agnes didn't hide her annoyed state, she knew it could upset her husband, but she didn't care. This situation made her very angry.

Even after several centuries had passed, Agnes still couldn't unravel the mystery behind Adonis' current condition.

Was he a vampire? Yes, but at the same time, he had the power of a god. And the two natures just weren't compatible with each other.

And this contradiction seemed to be slowly killing Adonis from the inside

Though if he doesn't use his power, he'll be fine

'As expected' Slowly Agnes' eyes began to darken; 'I'll have to trap him in this mansion I won't let you out anymore. Never. Never. Never.'

"We have to bring Violet back home, I don't want to see my daughter like that," Adonis spoke in a serious tone.

Agnes woke up from her state and ignored what Adonis said, then asked, "...Can't you see the future of that boy?" She needed more information before making a decision.

"I can, and at the same time, I can't. I only see his ascension alongside six individuals, but I don't see anything else."

"Just that, huh," Agnes spoke, she started to think for a few seconds, and then she said:

"...I think your second prediction is probably wrong."

"... What do you mean?"

"Violet is just like me, and she wouldn't move without reason."

"... You are right."

"Probably, someone must have harmed her husband, and that someone was in the capital. As she doesn't have the patience to look, she decided to burn everything... At least, that's what I would have done if you had been harmed."

"" Adonis didn't know how to feel to see Agnes talking so confidently about her daughter. Is he happy or sad? Sigh... Why did his daughter have to be born like this woman?

Suddenly, the two heard a voice.

"With my authority as king of all vampires, I, Vlad Tepes, hereby declare."

Adonis and Agnes listened in silence to their king's declaration. Then, when the king finished speaking:

"" An uncomfortable silence fell in Agnes and Adonis's room.

"Isn't that ridiculous, a 21-year-old Vampire Count? Has the king gone m
