A request from the Crimson Countess 2

Elizabeth wanted to ask further but another sound of the same bat wings interrupted her as another woman landed in the shadowy part of the street they were in and the only visible thing was her glowing, blood-red eyes, wide and crazy smile, and an electrifying aura.

"Celeste you too? " Elizabeth narrowed her eyes at as the wind started acting strangely around the woman in the shadows.

"Seriously, why are you two here? " she added.

"We are here to help you if something goes wrong, obviously. Christopher is our son-in-law too~" Celeste said as she walked out from the shadows, dressed in a long black dress with a strip of golden decorations from her chest area towards her tighs while the place between her boobs was made from black net, forming a V shape.

"Fine..." Elizabeth grumbled while turning around as her crimson red hair swung behind her, shining under the red moonlight.

Isobel and Celeste looked at each other with a predatory type of smile and followed their friend towards the dark castle in the distance.

"Do you have everything ready? " Elizabeth asked as those two caught up with her.

"Yes, our maids are handling this with ease," Celeste responded with a gorgeous smile.

"So, what is the plan? " Isobel continued in conversation while still looking at the castle near them.

"Simple, we come to Vlad and ask. If he tries to back away from an agreement, I'll personally kick his ass and take the money myself. I may be weakened but I can still use my powers without too much suffering~" Elizabeth spoke with a predatory smile as the distance between them and the Vampire King's castle was closing slowly.

"We are not talking about the money, Elizabeth," Celeste spoke while rolling her eyes.

"Then what are we talking about? " Elizabeth looked at her fellow sister with literal question marks in her eyes.

"We are talking about Christopher and his possible development you lovesick idiot! " Isobel slammed the back of Elizabeth's head with her fist.

"Auch! Oh... You should have said that sooner. And stop punching me you bitch! Wanna fight? " Elizabeth spoke as she lost all her noble appearance in just a second.

"No, and I'll only stop you punching if you start to take this seriously! Only thanks to Rose, we know how Darkness hosts tend to change after some time." Isobel sighed.

"If it weren't for her, we would be still drowning in darkness... literally..." Celeste added.

"We can't be really sure he will be the same Christopher we knew two days ago. Plus we don't have much time either..." Isobel spoke the last sentence with mixed emotions of hate and sadness as her lifeless gaze wandered through the cloudless night sky.

"Yeah I know," Elizabeth replayed as they arrived in front of the castle: "But we don't have any other choice! With him around, even Vlad needs to finally do something! "

"If he returns, I'm sure we can await big things..." Elizabeth stopped as she now faced the gate.

"Yeah..." Isobel's lack of response made Celeste stop walking and jump at Isobel from behind.

"But what if he would be even better hmm~? Thirsty for your blood and hungry for your body my dear Isobel~ What then? Would you run away or let yourself be devoured by that nasty dragon~" Celeste's perverted side kicked in as her hands began to wander through Isobel's thin dress.

With a slight blush, Isobel bit her lower lip as her mind went to clouds from the feelings she slowly developed for Christopher.

"I thought so," Celeste stopped and started pulling Isobel to the castle while Elizabeth was already near the front gate.

"I'm sorry Countess Elizabeth but at this hour, you can't go-"

"Shut up! " Elizabeth slapped the Vampire Knight who was trying to prevent her from entering, and went further into the castle's garden, followed by quickly approaching Celeste and Isobel, who received a dose of hope and forbidden desire towards her son-in-law from Celeste's perverted side.

Opening the main door of the castle with a spinning kick, doors that led to the large throne room, Elizabeth shouted from the depths of her lungs.

"VLAD! Come here you coward, NOW! " her voice was so loud that the walls of the castle started cracking, and pieces of the gold decorations on them began to fall on the knights that stood firmly under them.

Everyone immediately covered their ears with both hands because the voice was just unbearable!

"Is she trying to kill us with just her voice or what! " grumbled the Knights as they slowly recovered from the damage they received and went back to their positions.

Meanwhile, the maids and butlers dressed in black and white uniforms appeared from the shadows and started clearing the broken pieces of decorations fallen on the dark, shining floor.

"What do you want Elizabeth? " a heavy tone that sent shivers through the spines of all Vampires present echoed through the throne room, coming from a single dark spot.

On the very end of the throne room was a throne hidden in darkness and a man in medieval, golden armor was sitting on it.

His only visible features were his legs and blood-red eyes which were now glowing in anger!

"Hi Vlad, that was pretty quick..." Celeste spoke when she and Isobel finally caught up again with Elizabeth near the door.

"What are you talking about? I was here all the time! " Vlad narrowed his eyes as his voice sent waves of strange red power throughout the throne room, making the walls of his castle shake from it.

But instead of feeling fear, all three Countesses suddenly started walking forward with noble and elegant steps while their gazes didn't leave the King's eyes.

It was a type of challenge for every Vampire when he/she was about to approach their King because each step closer to the King, meant that his bloodthirsty aura would grow and his gaze would start being too intense to look into.

Only one person had enough courage to maintain eye contact to the very end and that was Elizabeth when she first came to Redwilnet.

From that day, she always showed this type of behavior when she came to ask the King for something. And right now, Celeste and Isobel follow the same gesture.

For Elizabeth, it's a sign of courage and that she doesn't fear the King, which granted her respect and fear in the Vampire and later entire Supernatural world.

But right now, all three sisters were intensely looking into the king's eyes.

Isobel because of the feeling of betrayal that he sent her daughter to be married to Michael, Celeste because of her lost sister which is a matter of the past, and Elizabeth because she wants to bring back the Demon that she wishes to have in her arms right now.

Each Countess has her own reasons, making the King quite interested in their next words, and actions.

'Are they coming to challenge my authority? Or do they want something? I can't quite tell... Maybe they want my blood again? ' thought Vlad as he maintained his stoic expression and waited for the three to speak their deepest wishes.

Gaining the King's blood was one of the most deepest wishes of every Vampire because the blood of a Vampire Progenitor, like Vlad was the sweetest and greatest thing they could get their hands on. It had everything a Vampire needs to level up in Vampire Society.

Nutriens, power-boost, and best possible taste!

When a Vampire thinks about blueberries and their taste while drinking the Progenitor's blood, the blood will have a taste of blueberries. If they think about strawberry cake, the blood will taste like the cake, etc.

Therefore, the Progenitor's blood was the best possible feast a Vampire could get their hands on.

For them, it was some type of connection with the world of the living which numerous undeads miss.

Plus the nutrients will strengthen the Vampire's body and the power boost contained in the blood will give a slight power up to the individual!

For a five-thousand-year-old Vampire monster like Vlad, the power boost is insignificant but for someone on Vicki's or lower level, a Vampire around twenty years old, the power boost is like training without a break for an entire year! It's insane.

But, not everyone can have this and Vlad knows it.

Because too much of a Progenitor's blood could destroy the balance of nature, and the Vampires would have problems feeding on regular blood.

After too much of the King's blood, the regular one will taste like shit, literally.

It's the same as if you compare a fast food versus a five-star Michelin chef's meal.

Therefore, the privilege to feed on Vlad's blood only has his strongest warriors, his wives, his children, and Counts with Countesses that have no problem with feasting on almost every type of blood.

"If you came for blood, I think tomorrow will be probably better. I'm tired tonight so leave. I already fed my entire family and I want to rest." Vlad spoke tiredly as the three Countesses stopped walking and stood firmly in front of him.

'Where is this confidence coming from? ' Vlad thought while looking at the three women who had obsessive expressions plastered on their faces while smiling predatoryly at him like he was their prey or something.

"We didn't come for your blood but for your money, Vlad..." Elizabeth said, making Vlad unconsciously cough up blood on the floor.

His family was already draining him constantly from money and now these three came to drain him even more?!

'My unlife is so unfair...' Vlad thought but asked: "For what purpose? If I may know... " with interest.

"But of course " Elizabeth smiled widely: "We want to bring you a new ally and possible Count that is trapped in a hostile place."

Isobel's and Celeste's eyes widened when they heard that while Vlad's eyes narrowed.

"A new Count? "

"Yeah! You are always talking about a free Count position in our kingdom but no one ever exceeds your expectations. So, therefore, we want you to look at this! " Elizabeth throws a recording of a fight on the Phoenix field, one of the maids recorded, towards Vlad with a predatory smile as the King catches it and inspects it.

After a few minutes, the tape ended and Vlad's expression was anything but shocked.

"Where did you find this interesting boy? " he asked while throwing back the tape.

He already remembered it fully with his mind so he didn't need the tape anymore.

"Our daughters found him and married him, obviously! " Elizabeth spoke as the King coughed blood on the floor again.

"Our... But you said that they... Your daughters broke the law by marrying the same man?! " Vlad spoke while clearing his mouth from his blood, his aura turning sharp and hostile.

"And? What's wrong with having multiple partners? You are doing it all the time Vlad! You and your stupid laws... Bla, bla, bla..." Elizabeth growled.

"You know what might happen when too many women marry one man! I'm a Progenitor, I'm doing it for my Kingdom, but he is what? A normal Vampire..."

'You have no idea how 'normal' he is~' Elizabeth thought but replied: "For our Kingdom? BULLSHIT! You're doing it for yourself 'cause you're always horny like a pathetic rabbit. I hate this habit of yours, of every Progenitor! "

Vlad was about to say something but, the memory and the powers the boy was using were... interesting at the very least. Someone like this in his kingdom, and even his ally, would be a triumph card against the Werewolves and their damn deal, even against other Supernaturals.

Shadow manipulators are pretty feared in the Supernatural world, mainly because of their sneaking abilities and bodies that could constantly change into shadow-like substances, taking every attack without damage!

If Marcus and Thomas, subordinates of Isobel and Celeste would have ways to evolve and power up their shadow manipulations, Vlad would be already giving them Count titles.

After considering the pros and cons that this boy might come with, Vlad finally spoke.

"Hah, fine. How much do you need? "

Elizabeth's smile grew as she released another bomb on Vlad's heart.

"Two billion dollars ~"

*COUGH - Vlad spit his blood on the floor again when he heard the number but still, he felt that Elizabeth was not speaking the entire truth.

Therefore, he asked again.

"How many do you actually need? "

"Ten, " Elizabeth knew that Vlad was reading from her like from an open book so it would be pointless to lie to him. Also, she wanted to hear that question. With this, she would save up her and her sisters' money and not be bankrupt as she planned.

After some thinking, Vlad asked: "Where is he? "

"He's dead..." Celeste casually replied as Isobel added: "We need that money to bring him back."

"From dead? " Vlad narrows his eyes at a face of such absurdity.

"Yeah, also, he has the power to aid you in your "struggle" with the Werewolves... After all, he is my disciple~" Elizabeth spoke.

Hearing what they said, mainly the disciple part, Vlad took another round of thinking.

He knew that each man or woman Elizabeth Báthory trained turned out to be a hidden gem, meaning that this boy had much more to show than some basic shadow manipulation.

"Hmmm... You will have it under one condition. He is forbidden to have any more wives. Meaning intimate contact with the three of you or other women in your mansion is forbidden, as well as for the entire Redwilnet..."

After hearing the condition, the gazes of the Countesses unconsciously intensified as murderous, dark auras exploded from their bodies and clashed with the King's own aura, pushing it back slightly which surprised him, making his eyes flinch.

From the day Redwilnet was born to this day, no one ever moved with his aura, until now...

It was like something primordial awokened in them, which Vlad felt.

Their very own presence somehow morphed into something else. It was like they were not Vampires anymore, but rather... Dragons?

Vlad was completely taken aback by this change, and greatly confused.

'From where did they manage to gain an aura of Dragons...' Vlad thought as Elizabeth's next words gave him a wake-up call.

"It's not you who decides that Vlad," Elizabeth and the two turned and started walking towards the entrance with noble steps, swaying their sides like true succubuses.

'Why do I feel they already had something with that boy? ' the thought flew through the Vampire King's mind as a shadowy figure appeared silently behind his throne.

"You wished to see me, your Majesty? " spoke the unknown figure.

"Keep an eye on them and send someone to bring me a map of Redwilnet. I need to prepare and build a new mansion for a possible upcoming Count. Everything needs to be done tonight. Now go..."

Receiving orders, the shadowy figure bowed its head and disappeared into the shadows from where it came.
