Chapter 315: Victor is a Yandere

"Natalia."

"Yes...?" Natalia looked at the back of Victor, who was looking at the landscape outside the window. The two were now at the top of the church.

They were waiting for their new 'companion' to be ready for them to travel again.

"How is she...?" Victor asked in a calm tone, but as a Maid, Natalia could see that he was controlling his emotions.

Natalia glanced at the windowpane, and soon she could see Victor's expression.

Gulp.

She couldn't help but swallow hard when she saw his face, an emotionless face, a lifeless face. His eyes were listless and dark as if they were an abyss. Natalia sincerely thought that if she kept looking at his face, she would be swallowed by that endless abyss.

"...She's fine...Violet is handling it well."

"I see..."

Violet was, without a doubt, one of the most important people in his life. Seeing her in that state was just too worrying for Victor.

Even though that state was caused by his choices and that she left home to support her mother, Victor's brain just couldn't forget.

It was as if a b.u.t.ton had clicked in his mind.

And he couldn't stop thinking about it.

Just imagining her sad made his heart ache, just imagining that someone could take advantage of her state, Victor's mind went dark.

Victor lightly touched his head.

Victor knew himself. He knew he was the same as Violet, and sometimes he believed he was much worse than her.

He knew better than to think about it too much and let her do whatever she wanted while the shadows helped, but it was just too difficult.

Violet was his first wife, first love... She was just very important to Victor.

Not to mention that now he had... Agnes.

Her condition worried him a lot; he wanted to be close to the two women and help them in whatever way he could.

But he knew he couldn't do that.

They needed their time alone, they needed some time away from Victor.

But that didn't mean Victor would stop watching them, he would do anything to keep them safe.

The a.s.sa.s.sins of Clan Blank, the maids, the members of Clan Snow, Hilda.

All the people he had contacts in that house were secretly sending information to Victor, as Kaguya received this information through her a.s.sa.s.sins and sent it to Victor.

Both telepathically and by sending information to his cell phone.

Victor was always watching.

"How is Agnes?"

"she is training in seclusion."

"Oh?" Victor looked at Natalia, his eyes having returned to normal.

"Violet temporarily took over The Snow Clan duties so that her mother, Agnes, could train in peace."

"From what Hilda said, the Chief Maid was planning to train Violet as well."

"And Violet is reading her family's martial arts for the first time."

"...." Victor couldn't help but show a small smile. He was here worried, and meanwhile, the two women were doing their best.

Somehow, he felt pretty stupid for having such worries, but he couldn't do anything about it.

That was just how he was, a crazy, possessive b.a.s.t.a.r.d who loved his wives very much.

He wanted his wives to do what they wanted and s.h.i.+ne brighter.

But a part of him also just wanted to put these women in a bas.e.m.e.nt and be with them forever in that place.

He was fighting his own contradiction.

Sigh...

Victor internally sighed as if he had no choice; after all, he knew he would never be able to change that.

'They are mine... Violet, my little delinquent. Sasha, my gentle little light. Ruby, the cutest, smartest woman I've ever met. Scathach, my adorable master. Natas.h.i.+a, my lightning bolt of madness that at the same time was as cute as her daughter.'

Victor's smile grew a little.

'They are mine... All of them... My Maids... Kaguya, Eve, Bruna, Roberta, Roxanne, Maria... All mine... And no one will touch them, no one will approach them, no one will hurt them...'

"..." Natalia opened her eyes in shock when she saw Victor's face.

She believed this was the first time she'd seen this expression on Victor's face, a smiling and, at the same time, apathetic expression. An expression of obsessive love and obsessive jealousy bordering on insanity.

His pale skin looked a little red, and his eyes were constantly changing from violet to red.

It was quite obvious that his state of mind was completely chaotic.

Gulp.

Natalia swallowed again and backed away cautiously, her instincts screaming danger.

But...

'Why did he look so handsome now!?'

Despite the danger she was feeling, she felt her heart beating much more in antic.i.p.ation than fear. She felt an urge to kidnap him and pin him to the ground as she sat on top of him!

She felt like doing it, but she didn't, her professional side wouldn't let her. Her respect for Violet wouldn't let her either, and she understood that she was too much weaker than him for that to happen.

He just wouldn't sit still while this happened...

"...?" Victor woke up from his stupor and looked at Natalia. Then, seeing the woman's face, he showed a small smile and turned around:

"Natalia, if Agnes or Violet feels thirsty, call me." Agnes and Violet were fine for now. After all, Violet drank his blood before they parted, but...

It wouldn't be like that in the future, eventually, they would need his blood.

"H-Huh?" Natalia awoke from her stupor to see Victor facing her again, and, as his words registered in her mind, she spoke:

"Yes, I will do it."

With the same smile on his face, he said, "...Thanks."

"Mm..." She replied while her cheeks were completely red with embarra.s.sment. She was internally grateful that Victor didn't turn around now. She couldn't believe she'd thought that kind of thing to her Master's husband.

Despite having a smile as he looked out the window, his internal state was anything but smiling.

'That's what Adonis meant, huh?' It wasn't just men who went crazy over beauty.

This also happened with women. Proof of that was the story of Adonis that everyone already knows and Natalia herself now.

His charm was so high; he was so handsome that his very existence caused these kinds of reactions.

He understood very well now that if he wasn't strong enough, he was f.u.c.ked.

Literally speaking.

Natalia's eyes didn't deceive anyone, she was looking at him like a predator.

But in front of the current Victor, this 'predator' was just like a muscular rabbit; that is, the woman posed no threat.

... But what if he was like Adonis? What if he was a powerless human?

Well, history tells the facts...

'That's why Agnes wouldn't let Adonis out of the house, huh?' He could understand how irritating it was to deal with so many pests wanting something that was hers.

'Beauty without power is indeed a curse.'

Step, Step, Step.

"...." Victor and Natalia looked to the side, and soon they saw Mizuki's appearance.

She was now wearing her usual businesswoman suit. It was a suit much like the one she wore the first time Victor met her, though now her hair was much longer than the first time he met her. Her long silky hair came down to her b.u.t.t.

"...What?" she asked when she felt Victor's gaze on her body.

"I think a Yukata suits you better." Victor flashed a small smile as he walked towards the middle of the church.

"..." Mizuki's eyes widened a little, her lips visibly trembled, and then she turned her face away with a huff as she spoke:

"I can't move well in a Yukata, and these clothes are enchanted clothes, they're tougher than they look."

'Why am I explaining myself?' She felt pretty weird right now since, normally, she would never consider a Vampire's opinion.

"You're still beautiful, just the same." He flashed a flirtatious smile.

"Y-Yes, Yes. Whatever." She stuttered a little. She was hating herself now, she needed to build up resistance against this flirtatious Vampire!

Why was she getting embarra.s.sed like a teenager!? f.u.c.k off! She was not like that!

"hahaha~." Victor laughed a little softly, it was really fun to tease this woman.

"...." Mizuki's face turned red, and she quickly turned her face to the side again as if finding something interesting.

Victor looked at Natalia and saw the maid had the same face as Mizuki.

"Natalia, dear. Create a portal to The Lost Club."

"Y-Yes, Maste-." She stuttered a lot and bit her tongue.

"Ughhh..." She stopped talking as an expression of pain appeared on her face, and along with the pain, an even greater shame.

She was just digging her own grave if she kept talking to this devilish man!

She turned away and ignored Victor's amused smile.

She concentrated on using her power, and soon a portal appeared.

Victor looked at the portal, and soon he could see Esther's office.

"Come, Mizuki."

"Yes."

[Be careful, Disciple.] Abe-no-Seimei spoke as he looked at Victor with a wary look. He didn't dare leave Mizuki's body after the earlier incident where this man had touched him.

Victor's danger level in Abe-no-Seimei's head had just tripled in many ways possible.

"Mm." Mizuki only gave a slight nod indicating that she understood her Master's message.

...

Arriving at Esther's bar, Victor looked around and realized that the woman was not present. So he used his eye power, and looked for the woman at the bar, and soon he saw her in a room.

She was mounted on top of a man, as they seemed to be enjoying a BDSM roleplay, with her being the S.

"Well, we came at a bad time."

"What do you mean?" Mizuki asked as she looked around.

"The Witch is playing with her pet fox." Victor laughed.

"???" Mizuki didn't understand anything that Victor said.

And Victor didn't seem to be in the mood to explain right now.

When Natalia pa.s.sed through the portal, the portal closed.

"Come, I will go find the other Witches." He started walking towards the office exit.

"...?" Natalia looked confused at Victor as she looked around and asked, "Where is Esther?"

"She is playing with her pet fox." Victor repeated.

"...Oh." And unlike Mizuki, she understood what Victor meant.

Victor opened the door and pa.s.sed through the hallways. The group pa.s.sed smoothly by the room Esther was in, and Victor, for a moment, could see several magic circles.

'Heh~, she seems to be quite frustrated with putting up so many magic circles like that.'

Victor suddenly stopped walking and opened his eyes in shock.

"Victor?"

'Can I see through a magical barrier?' Victor finally noticed. He looked back at the room and realized he could easily ignore Esther's barriers.

'Have my eyes become that strong? Is it because of the power of Adonis?'

'Hmm?' Victor looked at Esther's head, and he saw a very thin red thread, the thread coming out of her head was connected to the man who was Johnny's friend.

Victor looked at the man and noticed that the man had a red thread coming out of his head, but that thread was not going towards Esther.

'... Hmm.' Victor followed the strand of the man's head with his eyes.

"...has he gone mad?" Mizuki asked when she saw Victor looking at the walls.

"Well, he was crazy from the start." Natalia shrugged.

"...Now that you say that..." She touched her chin as she thought that from the moment she'd met Victor, the man had a rather peculiar att.i.tude.

The wire from the man's head was connecting to the head of one particular man who was downstairs drinking with two women beside him.

Realizing that the man was his friend Adam's son, Victor flashed an amused smile:

If that red thread is what he thinks it is, Victor just discovered something he really didn't want to know.

"Well, to think the fox liked Wolves." He laughed amusedly.

Just out of curiosity, Victor looked at Mizuki, at the woman's head specifically.

Victor saw a couple of wires, one white and one red. The red wire was floating free and fluttering like a flag in the wind.

He looked at the white thread and noticed that the white thread was deeply intertwined with the red thread.

"What are you looking at?" Mizuki looked confused at Victor.

"..." Victor chuckled a little when he saw Mizuki's slightly red face, and then he turned around:

"It's nothing, let's keep walking."

Victor soon started walking again.

Victor didn't know exactly what this ability was, but one thing he was sure of:

This ability wasn't just for seeing people's relations.h.i.+ps... He felt there was much more to this power that he didn't know.

'If I could interact with these threads, my discoveries might be easier.' He sighed lightly.

Walking through the halls, Victor entered a room. That room was a room Esther had reserved for him and Ruby to stay in; it served as both a normal room and a secret pa.s.sageway.

Victor walked towards the wall, lightly touched it, and a red magic circle appeared. Then, as if by magic, the wall disappeared, and a staircase leading to the bas.e.m.e.nt was seen.

Natalia and Mizuki looked curiously at all this, then seeing Victor walking carelessly, the two women followed him.

Mizuki, of course, was a little cautious.

After a few minutes of walking down the stairs, they arrived at a completely white place.

The moment Victor's presence was felt by the locals, the girls and Victor heard several voices.

"Victor!"

"..." Natalia and Mizuki looked to the side and saw two Witches coming in that direction. One had the appearance of a teenager in her early youth with brown hair and blue eyes.

The other had white hair, white eyes, and pale skin.

While one seemed more energetic, the other seemed to be calmer.

"Sup, Girls. I came to visit." Victor held up a hand in a simple salute.
