My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires

Chapter 165: My Maid.

”...Huh?” Kaguya was sure she had misheard, and her world began to spin as she put her hand on her head as if she had a bad headache, while she took a deep breath and asked:

”What did you say...?” She even forgot to call Victor ʼMasterʼ for a moment, because she was just so shocked by what she had just heard!

”Youʼve slept for 700 years, my Maid.” He repeated in the same tone of voice.

”...” Kaguya opened her mouth wide. She couldnʼt believe she had wasted 700 years of her life sleeping! Even for a 700-year-old vampire, that was a long time!

She could have done so many things! She could have trained! She could have gotten stronger! She could have witnessed her masterʼs progress!

She couldnʼt believe she wasted all that time sleeping like a vegetable!

She could not accept this cruel fate!

”…” As if a supernatural entity had cut off all sound, the surrounding environment fell into pure silence.

”... Pfft...Hahahahaha, your face is priceless, my Maid.” Finally, Victor couldnʼt take it anymore and laughed.

Seeing Victor laughing a lot in her face, Kaguya understood that he was joking, and somehow she couldnʼt help but feel irritated and embarrassed.

”M-Master!”

”Hahahahahah!” Victor laughed even harder when he saw Kaguyaʼs troubled face.

”Do not laugh!” She really wanted to hit Victor right now! How dare he play this kind of joke on her! For a moment, she actually thought she had wasted 700 years of her life!

She almost had a heart attack!

”You only slept for 7 days, my Maid,” Victor spoke the truth now.

Sigh.

Kaguya sighed in relief.

Kaguya lowered her arms to her side in an attempt to sit up, but Victor spoke in a serious tone:

”Stay down.” It was a tone that did not allow for refusal.

”...Yes.” She was pretty tame when Victor spoke seriously.

She wasnʼt used to seeing her master like this since he usually talked to her while he had a small, amused smile on his face.

”We need to talk.” Victorʼs voice was so serious that it caused Kaguya a bit of discomfort.

”...” Kaguya remained silent and waited for Victorʼs next words. Her heart was beating so fast, she wanted to know if she had done something wrong for Victor to act so seriously.

ʼI didnʼt make a mistake, right? Iʼm not getting fired, right!?ʼ She was very worried.

”Kaguya...-” Victor was going to say something to Kaguya, but suddenly something caught his attention.

ʼHmm?ʼ Victor looked to the side towards a wall; ʼthis feeling...ʼ Victorʼs eyes start to glow blood red, turning his world to shades of red, and soon he can see beyond the wall.

His vision widened as he caught sight of four women with silhouettes he recognized well. Strangely, these women seemed to be carrying various types of weapons like swords, spears, shields, axes.

One of the women turned her face and looked at him, and the woman didnʼt seem to be in a good mood.

”... Fuck.” Victor couldnʼt help but mumble while facepalming. He was so worried about Kaguya that he completely forgot about this ʼlittleʼ misunderstanding he caused.

Victor looked at Ruby like he was trying to say something really hard.

Ruby raised her eyebrow, ”Do you want me to leave?” She completely misunderstood Victorʼs look and thought that Victor wanted her to leave the room so he could talk to Kaguya alone.

”Scathach just arrived.” Victor dropped the bomb.

”...Huh?” Ruby opened her mouth and didnʼt seem to register Victorʼs words.

When Victorʼs words register in Rubyʼs brain:

”What-.” She was about to say something, but Victor interrupted, saying:

”And she didnʼt come alone.” He spoke in a neutral tone as if that wasnʼt his problem:

”She brought all your sisters, and if that wasnʼt enough, she also brought a lot of weapons. It looks like sheʼs prepared to go to war.”

”... Eh?” This time Ruby was very shocked since she knew Victor wasnʼt lying. After all, he wouldnʼt joke about something like that.

Or would he? In fact, she didnʼt know! Her husbandʼs personality was so random at times!

Sometimes she just wanted a book that had the title: ʼRead This and Understand Your Husband.ʼ

She thought that no matter the price, she would definitely buy this book.

… In fact, all the men wanted this book too, but with a slightly different title: ʼRead This to Understand Womenʼ… This book would definitely be over 10,000 pages long.

”She is probably furious.” Victor felt that with Scathachʼs current mood, the woman would really burn the world down this time.

Ruby narrowed her eyes, ”...Darling, what did you do?”

”Hmm…” Victor turned his face and scratched his cheek a little, ”I kind of got in touch with her, and I told her my wife was being hunted by the hunters…”

”…” An uncomfortable silence fell around, the silence so uncomfortable that Victor really wanted to leave this room right now.

”…Question…” Ruby put her finger to her brow like she was having a migraine now, ”Did you specify which wife you were talking about?”

After all, he had three wives, and if he just says, ʼHey, Mother-in-law. My wife is being hunted by hunters! Letʼs kill them!ʼ

Scathach could get it wrong, right?

He definitely didnʼt speak in a way that would cause misunderstandings, right?

Right?

”...” Victor didnʼt answer Rubyʼs question, he just stayed silent, and that was all the answer Ruby needed to know.

”Darling...” Ruby really felt like strangling Victor now. Just what kind of trouble did he cause!

An angry Scathach is far worse than causing an international incident!

”...” Kaguya was silent, she remembered hearing something like that when she was in Victorʼs shadow, but at the time, she was so weak that she didnʼt really care.

”RUBY, COME HERE!!!” Scathachʼs booming voice echoed throughout the basement.

”...Oh, Shit.” Ruby was sweating a little cold now, she knew that tone of voice from her mother.

”...Yes, she is definitely furious.” Victor displayed a small smile.

”Stop laughing! This is your fault! Why did you say that kind of thing to her!?” Ruby screamed in frustration. She knew damn well that when Scathach was angry, she was just like Victor!

In fact, she might even be worse than him!

”I needed some advice from my master.” Victor spoke the truth, ”I was hesitating, and her advice opened my eyes.”

”...” Ruby looked at Victor in silence and seemed to be thinking about several things.

Sigh

Ruby visibly sighed and could now understand Victorʼs drastic change in attitude. If it was the Victor sheʼd known a few days before the incident, he definitely wouldnʼt have done what he did in Sashaʼs old mansion.

ʼ...But maybe thatʼs a nice change.ʼ Ruby understood that Victor couldnʼt retain his ʼhumanʼ mentality for long.

”Okay.” She made a decision, ”I will try to calm my mother... Probably when she sees me well, she will calm down.” Ruby turned and walked towards the bedroom exit.

”...” Victor remained silent the entire time, and when Ruby left the room, he looked at Kaguya.

”My Maid.” Victorʼs entire mood shifted to a more serious tone.

”...” Kaguya was silent and waited for Victorʼs next words.

”Why?” Victorʼs eyes glowed blood red.

”...Huh?” Kaguya didnʼt seem to understand.

”Remember the contract, my Maid.”

”I remember saying it, right? Your safety comes first.”

”...Oh.” Kaguya opened her mouth and understood what Victor was talking about now.

”...Master, are you angry?” She asked in a cautious tone.

”Yes.” Victorʼs response was instantaneous!

”…” Kaguya was silent.

”I am angry at the hunters for hurting my precious Maid. Iʼm mad at you for not prioritizing your safety. Iʼm mad at myself for hesitating about something.”

”Iʼm very angry right now, and the reasons are many, but thatʼs not the important thing... The important thing is about your breach of contract.”

”But…Lady Sasha.”

”Was Sasha in danger at the time?” Victor asked.

”She wasnʼt…”

”See? So why did you put yourself in danger?”

”...” Kaguya lowered her head and felt she had done something bad.

”…” Victorʼs face slowly started to change to a gentle one when he saw Kaguyaʼs expression:

”My Maid...” Victor reached out his arm to pat Kaguyaʼs head.

”Despite being angry, I am also very grateful.”

”...” Kaguya looked at Victor.

”I know you did what you did because you were thinking about my wifeʼs safety.”

”And I really appreciate that.” He spoke with such a gentle smile that Kaguya thought even the atmosphere around her seemed to be warmer.

”Master...” Kaguya exhibited a small smile.

Victor suddenly shook Kaguyaʼs head.

”Ouch, M-Master.”

”Donʼt show that happy smile, Iʼm still pissed.” Victor let go of Kaguyaʼs head.

Kaguya pouted. Why was her master being so mean to her!? She was a good maid! She worked hard! She deserved to be rewarded!

”My Maid... Do you know what my biggest fear is?” Victor suddenly spoke in a serious voice that sent shivers down Kaguyaʼs spine.

”...” Kaguya looked at Victor.

”My biggest fear is losing someone important to me...” Slowly Victorʼs eyes began to become hollow and lifeless, ”Do you know why I have this fear?”

”...I donʼt know...” Kaguya was honest.

”Because if someone important to me disappeared, I donʼt know what I would do...” Just imagining the people close to him disappearing, something inside Victor started to turn dark.

Unconsciously, half of Victorʼs face turned as dark as darkness itself, and the only thing Kaguya could see was a red power that appeared to be Victorʼs blood, Victorʼs eye, and the teeth of his mouth.

”Iʼd probably torture and kill those responsible while simultaneously burning the world in a fiery rage, but... then what?”

Gulp.

Kaguya gulped and tried her best not to look at the other half of Victorʼs face. She felt she could be swallowed if she stared too long!

”Just imagining it... I canʼt help but feel an emptiness engulf my heart.” He squeezed his chest tightly.

”Because of that, my Maid. Iʼd rather die than let the people close to me die, do you know why?”

”W-Why?” Kaguya stuttered a little.

Victorʼs smile grew disproportionately on his face:

”Because Iʼm pretty sure the devil wouldnʼt want me for company, and he would definitely send me back to life.”

”….” Kaguya opened her mouth in shock. Where did this confidence come from? He didnʼt have proof that he could come back to life, right? But why does he talk as if it were an absolute certainty?ʼ

ʼAh…ʼ Kaguya seemed to understand something; ʼItʼs not about trust or having proof… Is it something more like an unshakable faith in yourself?ʼ

Kaguya felt that maybe that was it. He had so much faith in himself that he believed he could do anything?

ʼMaster… is weird.ʼ She couldnʼt help but think about it, and, In the end, she couldnʼt understand anything!

Victorʼs smile faded, his face returned to normal, and he spoke with a small laugh:

”Thatʼs if the devil exists, of course.”
