Chapter 34: Victor has been kidnapped!

"BITCH!!" Violet screamed in uncontrolled fury, her face was distorted with rage, and the fire poured out of her body uncontrollably.

Realizing the danger of getting close to Violet: Maria, Natalia, Ruby, and Sasha quickly run away from Violet.

"Calm down, Violet!" Ruby screamed, and when she heard the sound of thunder, she looked at Sasha, who was covered in lightning; she looked like she was about to do something.

"You too, Sasha! Calm down!"

"Calm down...!?" Sasha's face twisted in anger, "My husband has been kidnapped. How can I be calm!?"

Ruby started to get angry.

"You fools…" Ruby's voice started to get cold, and the room started to get terribly cold, then she spoke in a tone that made the maids shiver, "…Have you forgotten where you are? Control your powers."

"..."

Listening to what Ruby said, Sasha and Violet bite their lips in frustration and regain consciousness, so they quickly rein in her powers.

Ruby sighs, "This place has protection, but what if you decide to get out of hand now? Do you want to hurt Darling's parents!?"

"You're right…" Sasha sighs, "What should we do now?"

Violet doesn't say anything, she just looks at Ruby, waiting for her words.

"My mom won't hurt our Darling," Ruby started to explain, "Remember, what happened in the past when a man she didn't think was 'suitable' approached me?"

"...They were exterminated..." Sasha replied.

"Wrong, their entire family was wiped out," Violet added.

"See?" Ruby smiled, "My mom approved of Victor, that means he'll be fine... I think..."

"Huh...? You're not sure!?" Violet raised her voice.

"Violet, you know my mother, she is very unpredictable."

"..."

Violet bit her lip in frustration as she muttered various forms of torture she intended to do to anyone who touched Victor.

"I think she's going to train Victor?" Sasha, who was a little calmer, spoke....You're right...She likes people who have potential..." Ruby nodded.

"And my Darling is a man with great potential; what do you think will happen to him?" Violet asked as her eyes darkened.

"Hmm..." Ruby was silent, she didn't want to answer that question.

"This got interesting, right?" Natalia suddenly spoke with a smile on her face.

Violet, Ruby, and Sasha look at Natalia with a neutral gaze.

"Natalia, we should go home," Violet said.

"I know... But you guys need to sort something out first," Natalia said as she pointed up.

"…You're right; Darling's parents are going to be worried," Ruby said.

"How are we supposed to do this? I don't think telling the truth would be the ideal option." Sasha asked, then she adds,

"A few days ago, Violet had to lie and tell Victor's mom over the phone that she was going on her honeymoon with her son. I think this lie won't work again, I don't know how long it will take, but this time, I think it will take months for him to come home."

Ruby puts her hand on her chin and starts to think about what to do.

"Where is Kaguya?" Violet asked.

"Oh, she's in Victor's shadow," Natalia replied.

"..."

The three wives all open their mouths in shock. "She's fast…" Sasha spoke.

"As expected," Ruby smiled.

"Good job, Kaguya! I'm going to raise her salary!" Violet displayed a happy smile.

"Why are you so happy?" Sasha asked curiously.

"Kaguya is a dedicated Maid, she will send me Darling's location!"

"Oh, you're right," Sasha nods in agreement.

"Violet, Sasha, use your head..." Ruby spoke in a neutral tone.

"Huuh?"

"Huuh?"

Ruby explains, "If my mom kidnapped Victor, she probably took him to that place."

"..."

"Fuck," Violet didn't like it at all.

"That place, huh?" Sasha puts her hand on her chin, and she looks at Ruby; Sasha's eyes suddenly darken, "Ruby, are your foster sisters in that place...?"

Violet turns to face Ruby, she has the same face as Sasha.

Ruby started to sweat a little when she saw Sasha and Violet's faces, but soon she replied, "Yes... They'll be in that place..."

"Fuck!!!" Violet's anger explodes again, and soon her body is covered in fire, she looks at Natalia,

"Open the portal! I'm going back home! I have to protect my Darling!"

Yes, Lady Violet," Natalia wasted no time, she snaps her finger and then smiles, "Done."

Before Ruby and Sasha could react, Violet opened the door and walked through a portal that looked like the galaxy.

Sasha's body started to crackle with lightning, but before she could follow Violet, her body was frozen by Ruby. "You won't run away now; you must work something out with me first."

"Natalia, close the portal."

"Yes, Lady Ruby," Natalia snaps her finger, and soon the portal that looked like a galaxy disappeared.

Ruby unfreezes Sasha.

"Why did you stop me!?"

Before Ruby can say anything, she asks Natalia, "What is someone from Clan Alioth doing with Violet? Shouldn't you just serve the king's family?"

"This is a secret..." Natalia smiled gently.

"Tsk," Sasha clicked her tongue in annoyance. Then, knowing she won't get Natalia's answer, she loses interest.

She thinks for a moment and looks at Maria; her eyes glow a little blood red, and she says: "You can act normally."

Maria's body trembles a little, and soon she regains control of her actions.

"Why did you do that...?" Maria asked in a cold, suspicious tone.

"I just don't want you to die for a random vampire when we get back home," Sasha spoke in an emotionless tone.

"Huuh...?" Maria didn't understand why she did it.

Ruby, who was watching all this, said, "Come on, Sasha, we have to go somewhere."

"Okay," Sasha agreed.

"Natália, wait for us here; we're going to need your skill... And keep an eye on her." Ruby pointed at Maria.

Natalia bowed a little, "Your wish is my command, Lady Ruby."

...

The evening that same day.

"I was trying to guess why you needed me to change my clothes into this simple outfit..." Sasha spoke in disbelief as she stared at the door of Victor's parents' house...

Sasha was wearing simple pants that looked too tight on her thighs, she was wearing a long brown shirt with a 'V' neckline that showed a little bit of her F-cup breasts.

"...Y-You are crazy?" Sasha spoke in a stutter while her face was a little red with embarrassment.

Ruby was wearing simple black pants, she was wearing a simple red shirt that could barely hide her G-cup breasts.

"Y-Yes..." Ruby's face seemed to be frozen.

"Ruby?" Sasha approached Ruby.

"Are you nervous?" She asked as she looked at Ruby's face stoic.

"N-Nervous?" she stuttered; seeing the smile on Sasha's face, she said, "I'm fine!"

"Shh! Speak quietly!" Sasha yelled.

"…." Ruby just looked at Sasha with a blank expression.

"Let's get this over with." She spoke in a neutral tone.

Ruby clicked on Victor's doorbell.

They heard the bell, and the two women wait anxiously for someone to open the door.

"I am going!" Suddenly they hear a woman's voice.

Both girls' hearts nearly came out of their mouth when they heard the voice of the woman who was clearly Victor's mother.

When the door opens, and they see a beautiful woman with long black hair and sapphire blue eyes, they can't help but think that this woman is a lot like Victor.

"Hmm, who are you?" The woman looked at the two women as if sizing them up, then she looked at Ruby's bust for a moment, and she thought; 'So big! Is she bigger than mine!?'

The woman looked at Sasha's legs and thought, 'her legs are so thick.'

She looked at the appearance of the two women again and thought, 'I don't remember meeting a blue-eyed blonde with such thick legs and a green-eyed redhead with breasts bigger than mine.'

Ruby's face was so red at this point that her brain wasn't thinking straight, "M-Mother, W-We are Victor's two wives. Nice to meet you!"

"Huuh?" The woman's brain stopped working.

"R-Ruby!!" Sasha's face turned red with embarrassment, she approaches Ruby's ear, "What are you doing, idiot!?"

Ruby looks at Sasha with red eyes, almost crying, and speaks, "I don't know anymore!"

"...Ugh, fix the misunderstanding quick!" She whispered, almost screaming.

"Why don't you help too!?" Ruby whispered.

"Don't ask for the impossible!"

The woman has come out of her stupor, and she looks at the two women again, "What did you two say?"

Sasha was startled by the sudden question, "Ahhh! Mother, we are Victor's wives! Nice to meet you!"

"..."

"Idiot!" Ruby yelled.

"Oh, my boy has two more wives..." She didn't think it was a lie. As an experienced lawyer, she knew when someone was lying, and these two girls weren't.

Suddenly the woman touched her head and looked sick, and slowly, she starts to fall.

"M-Mother!?" Ruby and Sasha yell in unison; they quickly grab the woman and see that she was unconscious.

...

Ugh, my head is hurting... Where am I?

I look around and see I was in a room I didn't know. The room looked old; I felt like I walked into those old movies.

"Heh, you finally woke up, stranger."

Suddenly I heard a woman's voice, I look towards where I heard the woman's voice, and I see a girl with wild long red hair; she was on the ceiling of the room standing as if gravity didn't affect her. But then, the girl fell to the ground and stood up.

She was very short; I think she must have been Kaguya's height. She was wearing a simple red dress, she looked at me with a big smile on her face.

Suddenly, I remember what happened, and I get out of bed.

"Wow, you're big," I heard the girl's voice, but I ignored her; she seemed to be talking about my height. I look around and see a window, I walk towards the window, and when I see the world outside, I couldn't help asking out loud:

"Where in the seven hells am...?"

Chapter 35: Vampire World.

A dark city with architecture that reminded me of medieval times. A place where the sun never rises; a place where every corner is an unknown danger; a city that was built thinking about the nature of vampires. That was the impression I had when I first looked at this city.

"Welcome to Nightingale, The City of Moonlight, Stranger~," I heard the girl's voice.

I look at her and ask, "Who are you? And where am I...?"

"Me? My name is Lacus," She replied, but suddenly another voice added:

[Lord Victor, you are in the world of vampires, be careful when acting.]

"Kaguya?" I called confused, I look around, and I don't see her, but when I looked at my shadow, I saw Kaguya's shadow; she seemed to have a slight smile on her face.

"Kaguya...?" The girl looked confused.

"Nevermind," I said, trying to change the subject.

I look down and see that I was in a nightgown, "Where are my clothes?" The girl didn't say anything, she just pointed to a spot.

I look at the place and see a small dresser with black clothes on top; I walk over to the clothes and pick them up, "Black suit, black shirt, and black gloves..." I look at the woman:

"Why is everything black?"

"Mother ordered it" She spoke in a neutral tone.

"Scathach…" I said with a smile on my face.

The girl's red eyes suddenly glowed blood red, "It's Countess Scathach for you ... Have respect, stranger."

"Heh," I smiled with a distorted face and said, "Where's Scathach?"

Suddenly the woman's killing intent exploded, she opened her mouth, and I could see that her teeth were sharper.

I just looked at her with a smile on my face as I thought; her killing intent is much weaker than Scathach...

[Sigh, Did Lord Victor acquire suicidal tendencies when his evolution ended? Why are you teasing her?]

"I just didn't like the way she talked to me; that's it," I spoke out loud while ignoring the girl and putting on my clothes.

After experiencing the pressure of my mother-in-law, I got numb; I think this girl is strong, but my instincts don't scream danger like when I faced my mother-in-law.

Finishing dressing, I looked at the girl who was still staring at me, "Won't you guide me?" Finally, the girl's pressure disappeared, and she looked at me with a bit of shock on her face.

"What?" I asked

"Why aren't you being affected?"

"Oh?" I smiled a sharp toothy grin at the girl:

"After feeling the pressure of my mother-in-law, I got numb, and it doesn't seem to affect me anymore."

"M-Mother in law?" She stuttered in shock.

"Yes, I'm Ruby's husband, didn't you know?"

"N-No! Mother just threw you in here and told me to keep an eye on you!" She practically yelled red-faced.

Why was she embarrassed?

"That's something she would do, now... Will you guide me?" I asked.

Yes! Hahahaha, if I knew you were my sister's husband, I wouldn't treat you like that! Come on; I'll take you to my mother!"

The girl's attitude suddenly changed when she found out I was Ruby's husband… And why did she believe me so easily? Isn't she very innocent?

...

Walking through the house, building... Mansion... I don't know anymore; this place is too big...

I look around; I think this is a mansion...

And, despite being a massive mansion, it was very empty.

"How many vampires live in this place?"

"Me, Pepper, Siena, Ruby, and our mom... There's Ruby's personal maid who is Luna, but she's doing something for my mom now."

"I see," I actually didn't understand why this place was so empty, but she didn't seem like she was going to explain anymore.

Soon I hear Kaguya's voice:

[Unlike other Count houses; Countess Scathach doesn't have many subordinates. After all, just her alone is enough to sustain the title of vampire Count...]

"Strange, why aren't any Count houses attacking her?" I asked out loud as I ignored Lacus' confused face.

[They are afraid of retaliation. Countess Scathach is just too strong, and the Count houses are prohibited from fighting each other on the orders of the king.]

"But that doesn't apply to noble houses, huh?" I spoke when I remembered that my wife Sasha's family lost the Count title through a 'game'."

[Yes. Any noble house can request a 'game' with a Count house, but they must be prepared for retaliation if they lose.]

"Oh? Explain," I was interested.

"Are you crazy, brother-in-law? Why are you talking to yourself?" Lacus asked.

"I like to talk to myself," I reply, smiling.

"Oh..." She turned her face and kept walking, but I could hear, "Is Ruby right in her head to choose this madman as a husband?"

My smile almost broke when I heard her calling me crazy...

I hear Kaguya's voice again:

[The rules are simple, houses with the title of Counts cannot fight each other, nor can they request a 'match' for the noble house, after all, this would be considered an abuse of power. Because typically vampire Counts are vampires who have lived over 1000 years and have already accumulated a lot of influence and strength.]

[If the noble house loses the game with the Count's house, they have to be prepared for retaliation. Vampire Counts are prohibited from attacking the lowest nobles, but there is a rule where this does not apply when the noble house attacks the vampire Count's house]

Hmm, as I understand it, it's a system that benefits the noble houses, the families that have the title of 'Count' cannot fight each other, and they can't ask for a 'game' to fight the noble houses that have no title either.

But the houses of nobles that have no title can ask for a 'game' with the houses of Counts at any time.

Hmm… "What are the consequences of losing this 'game'?"

[If the 'game' is betting a nobleman's title, and both parties agree... The consequences of losing this game are everything...]

"Everything?"

[Yes. They lose everything, all riches, all possessions, and even vampires become 'property' of the loser]

"What did you say...?"

An irritating feeling started to grow in my heart, and soon it spread through my entire body.

"Kaguya," I called.

"Oh...?" Lacus looked interested in what was going on.

Kaguya steps out of my shadow, and I look at her, "What do you mean by 'properties?'"

"…Exactly what the word means, all vampires in that house become the loser's property, they become 'slaves'," Kaguya spoke coldly.

"Heh…" My smile distorts, but it's not from fun; it's from hate…

My beloved wife's family lost a 'game' recently.

Just imagining my wife being 'owned' by someone else, this hatred spreads throughout my body; it was like a fire that burned throughout my body.

"Hahaha... This can only be a bad joke... Is my beloved Honey someone else's property...?" I lean against the wall as I put my hand on my chest; my heart was beating too fast, "Unforgiveable!"

Crack!

I heard the wall break with the force I put in, but I didn't care.

"Lord Victor, calm down," Kaguya approaches me and starts massaging my chest, "We still don't know if that's what happened; you need to calm down and control your instincts."

Crack! Crack!

I tighten my grip on the wall, and soon the wall collapses.

I take a deep breath and force a gentle smile onto my face, "You're right, Kaguya; I need to learn more."

I stroked Kaguya's head, and somehow it made me calmer:

"Thank you"

"Mm," She nodded as she smiled.

I look down the hall, and soon my vision changes to a blood-red world, I see three female vampires in this place, one female vampire was in a room that looked like a bathroom, and the other two were sitting in a room that looked like a bedroom.

For a moment, one of the vampires who was sitting looked at me and smiled.

"I found her." I smile, I see Kaguya stepping into my shadow, and then I run towards my mother-in-law.

When Victor ran towards Scathach, Lacus, who was nearby, just stared at the wall that had been reduced to ash when Victor left.

"Oh? Isn't that the Snow Clan skill...?" Her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

...

Two women with long red hair and red eyes were having a red 'tea' while looking at the moon.

"So why did you kill your husband?" Scathach asked the woman beside her in a neutral voice.

The woman next to Scathach was wearing long black stockings, a short blue dress, and black high heels:

"He approached me just to be on good terms with you, Mother," She explained.

"The usual?"

"Indeed," The woman nodded.

"Siena, my beloved eldest daughter, why don't you create a 'husband'? I already made this suggestion... how long ago was it?"

"700 years ago."

"Yes," Scathach smiled gently:

"My memory is a little bad because of my old age." She laughed seductively.

Siena just rolled her eyes when she saw her mother attitude:

"I don't want to create a 'husband'. After all, that isn't going to be something 'real' like I'm looking for."

"Heh, despite being over 700 years old, you're still naive."

"I'm not naive; you know that I just want something 'real', and male vampires are just obsessed with things like 'titles'."

"Why don't you turn a human then?"

Siena's face twisted in disgust, "Turning cattle into a husband? No, thank you."

Scathach rolled her eyes at the eldest foster-daughter's attitude, soon she lost interest in the subject and looked toward the bedroom entrance with a big smile on her face.

Seeing her mother's smile, Siena thought; 'looks like she found something interesting to do again.'

Suddenly the bedroom door was broken, and Victor appeared.

"Scathach." Victor looked at Scathach and ignored the woman beside her.

Siena's eye twitched a little when she heard the disrespectful way Victor called Scathach. As the daughter of the strongest female vampire in the world, she had a lot of respect for her mother, and she didn't like someone 'inferior' calling her so informally.

And this feeling was shared by the three adoptive sisters.

Siena was about to say something, but her mother's following words left her speechless.

"Heh," She smiled seductively as she crossed her legs elegantly, "My son-in-law, were you so desperate to see me?"

Chapter 36: It's time to get strong! And… Chaos.

At the same time in Victor's House:

"Here I got water," Sasha offered.

"T-Thanks" Anna was still very shaken, she drank all the water in one gulp. Then, when she saw Zack walking calmly through the house, she quickly got up from the couch and grabbed him!

"Meow!?"

She sits down on the couch again and starts stroking Zack.

"Meow~"

Ruby and Sasha's eyes sparkled for a moment when they saw Zack; they thought he looked too cute to pet.

Sasha approaches Ruby and sits beside her.

Anna looks at the two women and sighs, "Okay, let's start at the beginning."

"Y-Yes," Ruby was a little nervous.

"First, did you do 'that'?"

"That?" Ruby and Sasha didn't understand.

"I mean, what husband and wife do, did you guys do it?"

"Oh," Sasha exclaimed, and then she remembers the moment she sucked Victor's blood.

"Yes, we did," She smiled.

"Indeed," Ruby confirmed

"O-Oh, I-, I see," She stuttered a little and squeezed Zack a little harder without realizing it.

"M-Meow!?"

Realizing what she was doing to Zack, she quickly stopped squeezing Zack.

Anna takes a deep breath and asks:

"Y-You said you were married to my son, right?"

"Y-Yes," Both confirmed.

"V-Violet, does she know...?" For some reason, she didn't stop stuttering.

"Yes, she knows..." Ruby confirmed.

"Yes, she accepted our relationship," Sasha confirmed as well.

"..."

Anna looked at the two women with a blank expression.

Both women were sweating profusely now; they were a little afraid of being rejected by Anna.

Anna sighed again, she looked tired, like she lost some kind of battle, "How can I say…Congratulations on the wedding…? I guess..."

"Huh...?" Anna's words took time to register in Ruby and Sasha's brains.

"Thanks," Ruby smiled happily.

"Thanks, M-Mother," Sasha stuttered a little.

Seeing the two women's honest smiles, Anna looked like she'd suffered heart damage; I think my son will die soon... he was very lucky in a short time; something is not right.

Anna's own thoughts were confused...

"And to imagine that my son would have three wives…" After the initial shock, she slowly began to come back to her personality.

"In our country, this is normal," Ruby said.

"Oh? Which country do you live in...?"

Ruby was taken aback by the question... Legally, she is registered as Romanian, but the country she lives in is not registered on the world map.

Sasha looks at Ruby with a talkative look, and then she continues, "We live in a small community in Romania."

"Romania...? But Romania doesn't have polygamy."

Sasha was nervous, "We live in a small community, but that's not a problem; we can get married in Alabama!"

Ruby looked at Sasha like she was looking at an idiot.

"But Alabama is for incest…" Anna said.

"...Huh?" Sasha's face turned red.

Suddenly Anna's face darkened in horror, "Don't tell me my son went after your sister, or even worse, he went after your mother!? Does he plan to make Oyakodon!?"

N-No!" Sasha was more confused than she was, and her eyes began to roll.

"She meant that in our community, polygamy is allowed!" Ruby helped Sasha.

"Oh..." Anna's face cleared a little, then she sighed, "I need to talk to my son..."

"That's what we came to talk about…" Ruby continued.

"Huh...?" Anna looked at Ruby.

Seeing Anna's look, Ruby started to get nervous again; she found it very difficult to talk about it with her husband's mother.

"H-Eh, H-Hmm..." Her eyes started to roll, "Sasha, Violet, and I want Victor to find our moms to ask her to marry him!"

"Huuh!?"

"Huh?"

Anna and Ruby herself didn't understand.

"As expected... It's an Oyakodon..." Anna puts her hand to her head as if she has a bad headache; Zack takes this chance and runs away from Anna's lap.

"N-NO! That's not it!"

Sasha takes a deep breath and says it all at a fast pace, "She meant that Victor traveled from Violet to Romania with the intention of asking our mothers for their blessings for our marriage!"

Sasha could embarrass most rap singers in the world with the speed she spoke those words.

"…He traveled to Romania to meet his mother-in-law…" Anna leans back on the couch, "My son is growing up fast, until a week ago he didn't even have a girlfriend…" She looked like she reached enlightenment.

Suddenly the women hear the door open, "Honey, I'm home," Leon, Victor's father, spoke as he walked towards the living room.

When he arrived in the room and saw two beautiful women, he suddenly stopped in shock and looked at his wife, confused. Then, seeing the state of his wife, he was even more confused; what's going on here?

"H-Hello, Father-in-law," The two said.

"Huh...?" He opened his mouth in shock.

...

Unaware of the little chaos his wives were causing with his parents, Victor was at this point meeting his mother-in-law.

"Heh," She smiled seductively as she crossed her legs elegantly, "My son-in-law, were you so desperate to see me?"

I swallow a little dryly when I look at my mother-in-law; she really knew how to tease me with just a simple gesture. When I was going to answer her question, I heard the woman next to her saying:

"S-Son-in-law?"

Looking at her, I see a woman with long red hair and eyes as red as Scathach.

"Who are you?" I asked.

Before the woman could say anything, I heard from Scathach, "She is my eldest adopted daughter."

"Oh, cool. Anyway," I lost interest. I look at my mother-in-law, who was wearing clothes that seemed to be glued to her curvy body:

"Why did you kidnap me?"

My mother-in-law's smile grew, she got up and walked towards me sensually; for a moment, I was mesmerized by those two mountains that looked unbearably soft. They were full, round, smooth, and perfectly shaped.

She gently touched my face and spoke with the same sensual tone as if she were seducing me:

"You said it was a shame you weren't strong enough to fight me, right?"

Slowly, my smile grew, and I nodded, "Yes."

"We should fix that, right?" Her smile changed to a predator's smile that showed all her sharp teeth.

"Oh, indeed," I smile just like her.

"Oh Fuck... She found another madman," I heard Siena speak, but I ignored her.

Scathach's smile changed to a satisfied smile, she took her hand away from my face and looked at a spot, then she yelled:

"Pepper!!"

Her voice seemed to resonate throughout the mansion.

"Yesh!!" I heard an awkward voice answering.

Suddenly, a girl with long red hair, a curvy body, and breasts that seem to rival Scathach appeared, she was just wearing a towel around her body.

"I've arrived, Mother!" She put a hand to her head like a soldier.

"Good." She looked at me, and for a moment, she seemed to study my reaction. But, seeing me not reacting much, she seemed pleased with something.

"She is my youngest adopted daughter, as you may have heard, her name is Pepper."

"Nice to meet you!" She flashed a goofy grin on her face

"Nice to meet you," I said in a neutral tone. For some reason, even though she was an attractive woman, I wasn't attracted to her... I felt that 'something' was missing in her...

"Your initial training is simple; you must identify and learn to use your powers-"

Before she can finish, I open my hand, suddenly, a fireball appears.

"Oh...?" She displayed a curious smile.

"Huh?" Siena exclaimed in surprise.

"Fue?" Pepper looked, surprised?

The fire disappeared, and soon lightning began to crackle in my hand, then the lightning disappeared, and soon a block of ice appeared in my hand.

"Even my mother's powers..." Siena said, looking at me.

"Ruby married someone interesting," I heard someone's voice; I looked to Siena's side and saw Lacus smiling with a curious look.

I point my hand in a direction that had no one and say, "All blood belongs to me."

But nothing happens...

"What are you trying to do?" I heard Scathach asking, her voice sounding heavier than usual.

"Give me a sec."

What did I do? Remember the memory I got from Ruby...

I close my eyes and try again, but I can't... Tsk, I can't get the right feeling to use that power...

Suddenly, I heard a voice in my ear that shivered through my whole body:

"Victor, don't be in a hurry."

I look to the side and see Scathach's distorted smile, her eyes were glowing red, and she was staring at me with a possessive face.

"You have all the time in the world to get better." She spoke with a seductive smile.

"...You're right," Seeing that smile made my body shiver; I needed to fight her!

"Train the basics with Pepper, she may be an air-head, but she's strong."

"I will," I nod and pull my attention away from my mother-in-law and look at Pepper; I walk over to the woman and pick her up like a sack of potatoes.

"Kyaa!?" She yelled in a thin voice, "What are you doing!?"

"You have to train me, right? I'm kidnapping you."

"Great... He has the same attitude as my mom..." Siena said, but as usual, I ignored her.

"Huh...?" Before she can say anything, I put strength in my legs and run to an open spot that I saw with my eyes.

When Victor left, Siena asked her mother:

"Is that all right...?"

"Hmm?" Scathach looked at her daughter

When Siena saw Scathach's smile, she felt her entire body tremble in fear.

"Oh~, about Pepper? It's all right. Victor is a good man; he won't do anything against Pepper."

"..." Siena and Lacus opened their mouths looking like a fish who didn't know what to say; they were just too shocked. They had never seen their mother praise a man in their life before.

"You look happy, Mom…" Lacus commented.

"Happy...?" Scathach spoke, confused, then she put her hand to her face.

"…Maybe…Maybe I am." Her smile changed to a seductive smile. "I have something to do; I'll see you guys later."

Scathach soon disappears.

"…I think she's glad she found a man with potential…? After all, she likes to fight," Lacus questioned.

"Is that what you think?" Siena asked as she looked at her sister.

"Yes," Lacus replied, she looked at her sister, "What do you think?"

"I don't know, but she wouldn't react so strongly if that man just had a big 'potential'."

The two sisters had many doubts in their heads, but one thing they were sure of; they were curious about the man who had piqued their mother's interest.
