13 Deal With The Devil.

Victoria showed a thick killing intent in front of Aran. This time Aran believed it. He was aware of the bond between this father and daughter. He said with a smirk on his face, "What do you want to know?"

The girl calmed down and said, "State your price first."

Aran replied, "Freedom. I don't want the blood seals on me anymore. You will have to talk to your father. Otherwise, you can find what you seek yourself somewhere else." his demand was too much.

Victoria asked, "How would you like to carry out the transaction between us?" her cold voice was stable as a mountain and she was not afraid of his goons. She was strong enough to kill his measly guards around the house. Also, she had something on her mind.

Aran smiled as he said, "Spoken like a true CEO. Well, Victoria, I will tell you half the story then you can remove your blood seal from me first. Then I will tell you the rest." in his heart he was very happy.

He was waiting for Victoria to take off the seal and then he will find his way to her bed. That was what he wanted but if he said it outright. Victoria would kill him regardless of anything else. She will not care about her enmity with bones.

He said, "Bones was fifteen when he was poisoned, as I told you already. So when Vika Smith visited the tribune. They all sent her to our father to seek help. At that time, he still had some credibility in the eyes of the tribune. You know that Tribune will help those in need disregarding the origins. So Vika visited these very grounds that night. She seemed the antidote to help the poor child of hers."

Victoria raised her eyebrow, she said, "Why did the tribune not give her the antidote themselves?"

Aran sighed, "Father bribed the clergy. He gave him ten virgin human blood slaves." as he shook his head.

Blood slaves were people who willingly gave their blood to the vampires as an offering. The vampires will in return give them money or some sort of compensation. These blood slaves grow into familiars after a point in time. Allowed to manage the business and things for a vampire.

Virgin blood slaves were considered a luxury back in the day before the tribune imposed amendments. These amendments filled the loopholes in their governance. Victoria asked, "What happened after Vika came here?"

Aran said, "Vika stood at the gates holding her son in her arms. She asked your father to provide the antidote but he said, that the antidote was very rare and costly. Vika asked if there was any way possible to get it. Your father asked her to become his bride for a night."

Victoria frowned, she was aware something like this must have happened but she still did not feel easy after hearing this. Vampires are lustful for beautiful people.

Aran continued, "Vika refused and went away. She went back to her home on the outskirts. That night Alucard Tepes was also in the city. He found out that his son was poisoned, so he decided to help him. When he visited Vika, the lady was lying on the floor, bleeding from her neck. While bones sat in the corner, with blood on his mouth."

Victoria asked, "Clear this up or you will regret it." she spoke in a chilling voice. She raised her hand and clenched the fist tight. Aran suddenly screamed. He held his head in his hands as he fell to the ground. He pled, "Wait, I will say, anything but that."

Victoria unclenched her fist. This was the effect of the blood seals on Aran. If the girl willed it, he will die. The devil here was not Aran, but Victoria. She decided to kill him the moment he said, he would like to have her undo the seals on him. How can she not know that this bastard was a lustful maniac? So it was decided that he will tell her everything either willingly or unwillingly but he will tell her the goddamn backstory. Then she will kill him.

Victoria spoke, "I don't like to repeat, twice." her voice sent chills to the man. He stood up somewhat staggeringly and started speaking.

"Your father did not take the rejection too well. he followed Vika, raped her, drank her blood in front of her child. Killed her, and even smeared her blood on Bones' face. Ever since that day, Willian Smith proclaimed himself dead. He became a maniac. He recovered and trained under the guidance of the tribunal's best law keeper, Drogo Bloodlight, also known as crimson prince. One time, he fed Bones a poison. Every hour ten bones would break. He gave him a dagger and left him to fight five death row Bloodwarriors. His task was to take out their bones and replace his broken ones. Bones was 18 years old. That is why he got that name."

Aran spoke with great difficulty. His head was hurting like hell. As if someone banged a sledgehammer on his skull. He panted after his monologue was done. Fearing terrible pain he dumped everything he knew in front of Victoria, but he noticed something as he was narrating. The more he revealed the more he suffered.

Thinking of this his pupils dilated, he pointed at Victoria with a shaking finger as he said with a stutter, "You... you wanted to know about him, not because you want to kill him, but love him. You felt the heartbeat that day. I will tell father. he will kill you."

Victoria smiled at him. Her beautiful smile was so cold and creepy at this moment that Aran froze. The girl said, "You should know that being too smart while dealing with the devil is never good for you, Snake. As for my father. Well, he has countless bastards like you. So, I doubt if he will miss you." with that said she raised her hand and clenched her fist hard.

PUFF.

Aran's head burst open like a melon. Victoria blinked and her cold gaze became warm. Standing in the rose garden she mumbled, "You should hate him as you do."
