Preparations for the future

Elizabeth started explaining her mother about the plan they had thought, as the conversation advanced Erin was getting more and more surprised by what her daughter was telling her.

"So that is why Aisha is young now again… she revived".

Once Elizabeth finished her explanation Erin focused her gaze on Daimon before she asked.

"Little Daimon, can you show auntie your claws please?".

Daimon who was still enjoying the fluffiness of Erin's tail nodded, he showed her his right hand before activating the skill which turned his nails into black claws similar to those of a predator.

Erin held Daimon's hand and carefully inspected his claws, it seems like although the skill was called "manticore claws", they were not exactly the claws of a manticore because Erin nodded after she finished inspecting them.

"They are not different to werewolf claws, if anything they surely seem sturdier and sharper than the ones I have seen on their children, the fangs of a high vampire only lengthen when they bite someone, he isn't weak against light which would eliminate any relation to him with vampires, thanks to Aisha's blood he isn't affected by mithril which should be effective against werewolves but we can shield on the fact that he is a "variant" without any flaws which would also increase his importance for that old witch", she thought.

…

After contemplating things for a moment, she looked at Aisha.

"Honestly it would have been hard to believe Liz's story if not for the fact that I got information from a trustable source of what happened on the red mist planet and they truly saw Aisha using the forbidden spell "space rupture" so she should have her magic core… destroyed".

"But she is here in front of me totally fine, and there is no other explanation as to why a purebred vampire as little Daimon have the claws of a beast race, still this grimoire you mention must be far above the level of our stellar chart, little Daimon how about you marry auntie instead of Liz or Elaine hehehe ♥".

Elaine somehow expected this to happen.

"Mom, y-you…".

Erin smiled.

"What I never got along with your father and it's been more than two hundred years since I cut off any ties with him so I'm free to do whatever I want; humph I would like to see who dares to say something about it in my face".

Although Aisha was having fun watching the show, she still interrupted them.

"Ahem, miss Erin… although my son is free to love whoever he wants it is still too early for him, so for the time being the marriage will only be in name that is my only condition for the plan, as for why the suggested "partners" are Liz or Elaine it's because they are ones that the Jolbaris have as their targets".

Erin shook her head.

"Tsk, fine I agree with the plan, now we just need to get a new identity for little Daimon mm, maybe the hair color should be changed, it is a normal thing to dye your hair so it would not raise any suspicions unlike disguising the color of the eyes, the fact that he has claws will be enough to make everyone discard him as "Daimon Naktis" and since little Daimon would only start attending the academy when he is 13 or 14 years his teen appearance might resemble his child one a bit but nothing that could relate him to the Naktis".

Daimon was relieved, one bracelet of the god of mischief was quite expensive so if he had the option to not need to buy one for himself then that was perfect, "speaking of the bracelet I wonder if it can trick a half emperor…".

"A-auntie can you help me confirm something?".

Erin felt her sugar levels going up when she heard Daimon calling her "auntie".

"Of course, whatever you need just say he word and auntie will do her best to help you ♥".

"Thanks, mom please activate the effect of the bracelet, I want to confirm if it works on… half emperors".

Aisha did as he told and for everyone else her characteristic silver hair turned black and her face changed a bit, not enough to not look like herself but enough to be just a "coincidence" in case someone might remember how she looked as a teen.

Erin focused all her attention on the current "Aisha" in front of her until she gave her verdict.

"Mm… no, I don't notice anything weird, what a convenient magic treasure, it is rare to find something that can trick a half emperor and one from a beast race which have sharper senses than other races on top of that, if you don't mind can you tell me on which magic ruin did you found it, or maybe it was on a secret dimensional space?".

Aisha shook her head, since they were being completely honest then she could tell her the truth.

"Nothing like that, although I have some treasures capable of affecting a half emperor no one has ever found something like this bracelet, it was a gift… from my son".

Silence fell in the room for a moment until Erin laughed.

…

…

"Aisha, are you trying to make me truly fall for little Daimon… because if that is the case let me tell you it is working ♥ hahaha, you two take note that is an actual gift a son should give to his mother".

Elizabeth laughed but Elaine was ashamed by her mother words, "little Daimon is a special case, who in their right mind would give away such a useful treasure so easily".

Erin took out her lector out of her storage ring, she selected a sigil which resembled the silhouette of a wolf's head.

"Let's quickly settle this up so we can enjoy some food together as a family ♥".

Erin's lector illuminated and she started the conversation, since she didn't have anything to hide from Aisha or Daimon she spoke clear and loud in front of them.

"Hey, are you still alive you old witch?".

…

After a moment a sleepy voice could be heard from the other side of the lector.

*Yawwnnn*

"I was wondering who had the audacity to wake me up while I'm taking some vacations from my job and it turned out to be you, what do you want old vixen?"

Listening how they were so casually speaking to each other Daimon was speechless, "I guess birds of the same type flock together", he thought.

"I'll go straight to the point; do you remember the thing about the Jolbaris trying to get a marriage contract with my daughters?".

"Hahaha, how can I forget it, when they offered the same thing to me, I told them I would put one of the macho sons of the previous leader on a pink dress and give him to be the bride, Arthur's expression was priceless, although they are still insisting that two of the ruling clans should join hands for the "glory" of the beast faction blah, blah, blah".

…

Erin saw Daimon's complex expression and she cleared her throat.

"Ahem, a yes would have been enough… Aura, whatever I have the perfect solution so they stop bothering us and at the same time I bet you are not going to be able to refuse even if you want to".

The woman on the other side seemed to be truly interested in Erin's words.

"Oh? that sounds fun, fine I'm all ears".

Erin proceeded to tell then the accorded story on which Daimon was an orphan descendant of a werewolf and a member of the Revy clan which they recently found on the annual talent evaluation who turned out to be a variant, as expected the other woman was immediately interested when she heard from his special "werewolf" characteristics such as the claws, but at the same time the high magic innate talent of the Revy family.

"Wait a second Erin, basically you got a priceless gem from one of my kin… that's not fair I only have useless sissies on the male side of my clan's current youngest generation, present him to me if he is worthy then I will personally teach him how to fight… not only that I will become his sponsor".

Erin internally smiled, "hehehe, I got you", she thought before saying.

"That is the other reason I'm reaching out to you, the deal is that the child will live in my family main territory, don't worry he will stay in my mansion to train so no one would be able to harm him", she directed a cunning smile at her daughters before continuing.

"And when he reaches the proper age he will attend the Wild Claw academy, since you are the principal there should be no problem at all, this way he will form a bond with our two clans and at the same we would be able to protect him at all times, what do you think?".

…

…

The other woman took a moment before answering.

"Since you are a cunning old vixen, I know you are winning some extra benefits but honestly the deal is perfect for me, we can reject the Jolbaris with a perfect logical reason and at the same time all those old farts from my clan will be satisfied knowing we formed a marriage bond with your family… but I want him to also look for a partner from my clan, it doesn't have to be right now but a strong descendance is always welcomed you know".

Evangeline was delighted listening to the conversation.

"Pfffft, at this point I don't know if it is the effect of the tittle or if it's what you would call "the luck of a reincarnated", anyway I suggest you to focus on improving your physical body because I can see a lot of "hard work" on the bed in your future hahaha".

Daimon felt his blood pressure rising, "I hope that luck allows me to teach you a lesson in the future", he thought.
