Beast 666?

"Are you awake, Princess?" The voice from her bedside woke her up from her deep slumber as she opened her eyes lazily. 

Her gaze met a pale, beautiful girl with deep blue eyes and pale blonde hair, who was wearing a black military uniform.

She yawned and saw the unguarded neck of Kriemhild, then bit it. 

In her previous life, since childhood, she always liked to drink her father's wine collection. So, when she realized that the taste of blood, from a vampire's perspective, resembled that of wines, she didn't have any reservations about holding back her addiction to blood. 

Moreover, the better the qualities of the human, the better the taste of their blood.

That's the very reason why she claimed Kriemhild as her own. 

Moreover, she needs a training partner, and Kriemhild was the perfect answer to what she was seeking. Yeah, she had a training partner in the past month, but accidentally ended up breaking them. 

Every person who taught her fighting was accidentally killed by her because of how powerful she was. So, she relies on instinct, brutality, and bravery most of the time, rather than technique. 

Unless someone equally as powerful as her is willing to teach her, then she can only rely on instinct rather than training. 

Unfortunately, none of them are present yet. She has zero patience for waiting, so she created her own. And Kriemhild would be her masterpiece of creation.

She immersed herself in her own world and forgot the fact that her canine teeth were still in her pet's neck. 

"Ah..."

The strange sound that came from Kriemhild puzzled Arcueid. 

Why did it sound perverted? 

Nonetheless, she withdrew her fangs and didn't want to maintain this ambiguity any further. As she looked at Kriemhild, who straightened her collar and still had an intoxicated expression, Arcueid's gaze softened. 

She had grown fonder of her.

"Is there anything you want, Kriemhild?" Arcueid didn't mind rewarding her pet for making her happy. 

Even if she wanted to demand Atilla's head, she would take care of it. Her power was more than enough to handle the situation. 

"Can I sleep with you again, Princess?" Kriemhild asked with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Are you sure about it? You seem to have some blood debt with Sefar. Well, her name in this timeline should be Atilla. The last time I saw you, you were being chased by her troops," Arcueid said, confused by her request. 

Her priority should be revenge, right, rather than this?

"I don't want to take advantage of your kindness, Princess. You have already saved me once. And you should not be bothered with my vengeance, as I will take her head myself," Kriemhild explained.

Although she felt strange about the princess's unusual vocabulary and some grammar that she didn't understand, like 'timeline' and 'Sefar,' she decided to ignore that little problem. 

The princess couldn't be wrong; it should be her who was too stupid to understand what she meant.

"In that case, you are free to come to my camp at any time, Kriemhild. Besides, it won't be too long before I build my own Millennium Castle after we conquer the North," Arcueid continued. 

Although it was easy for her to create a Millennium Castle anytime with her Noble Phantasm, what use was an empty castle without vast territory and followers?

It would be like showing the world that she was just a paper tiger and an arrogant woman with no power backing up her words.

Only when she regained her authority and expanded her territories would she deserve her castle and live lavishly. Before that, she could only accompany her followers and live a humble life, as they did now. 

After all, her territory was still small, and her subjects were only slav tribes, nothing more, nothing less.

If Kriemhild weren't here, she would suspect that she was the poorest ancestor ever alive rather than the strongest one.

However, it wasn't too long before she would take what should belong to her after she gathered all Dead Apostle Ancestors here, as Zelretch personally invited them to her feast night that she had set for them in two days.

Of course, it shouldn't be here but on the Moon. They would gather on the Moon, the place of her birthright and her father's first landing before her ascension to Earth. Her Millennium Castle was still there.

"Well, Kriemhild, do you want to join me for Walpurgis Night?"

"Is that okay, Princess? I don't think I'm strong enough to attend them." Kriemhild lowered her head. 

She didn't want to embarrass the princess with her weak strength, although she was strong on Earth. She had heard that the power level of True Ancestors was planetary.

"No, you're not weak. Dead Apostle Ancestors aren't as strong as you think. Except for Primate Murder, Zelretch, and my sister, no one can threaten us," Arcueid comforted.

"Besides, you won't be weaker than them for long. We will retrieve Balmung from the hand of Siegfried; he's already dead anyway, and there's no use for him to wield Balmung."

"Moreover, I have already transformed you into an akin of a Heroic Spirit that you've heard of in Norse Mythology, created by Odin. Maybe you can try it outside?"

For Arcueid, it is not too difficult to transform others into Counter Guardians or Heroic Spirits with the help of her mother, Gaia. Yes, she has a good relationship with her mother and occasionally communicates with her. It's like communicating with nature with clairvoyance function or communicating with a chat A.I. 

You ask her, and she will fully answer your question, just like a chat A.I. She answers your question according to her perspective.

"Nonetheless, I grant you the position as my right hand and general. Do not disappoint me, Kriemhild. If any of them do not like my arrangement, crush them."

"I understand, Princess." Kriemhild knew that if she refused, the Princess wouldn't trust her again. 

She was expecting herself to be as confident in her abilities as the Princess was in her.

"Before that, I shall grant you all the knowledge about our world. And this world is for smoother communication in the future." Arcueid patted the bedside beside her, signaling for Kriemhild to sit down.

Kriemhild obeyed her order, and all of a sudden, Arcueid kissed her lips, which made her blush and feel shy. However, she didn't refuse the intimate action. 

Unfortunately, it was only for a short time, as her head was suddenly invaded by massive information that caused her to suffer a headache. 

She almost fainted from the information overload. 

Fortunately, the Princess had told the truth – she really did get stronger without even knowing it or being aware of any of it. 

Her spirit and physical fitness could handle the burden of the information that was suddenly dumped into her head.

Not only did the Princess grant her strength and reveal the secrets of this world, but she also granted her access to communicate with the planet or the goddess of Earth, known as Gaia.

"You should rest, my pet. I expect a lot from you in the future." Arcueid flicked her finger onto Kriemhild's forehead, and she fell into an unconscious state in her bed. 

Arcueid covered her with a blanket and left.

There was something that needed to be done and taken care of by her. 

It was time to meet Beast 666.
