My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires

Chapter 289: The result of a choice

”Tell me! What did you do to my Darling!?” She grabbed Victor by the collar of his shirt.

”...”

Seeing Victor in silence, Agnesʼ anger only increased!

”TELL ME!”

FUSHHHHHHH.

The fire around Agnes grew stronger and hotter.

Victorʼs clothes begin to burn in the face of such power, but strangely, the fire wasnʼt hurting Victor himself.

It was as if Agnes was purposely avoiding this to happen since, somewhere in her mind, the man she was staring at in front of her now was Adonis.

ʼSigh... Look at the size of the problem you left for me, Adonis.ʼ He really didnʼt want that ending, but unfortunately, he didnʼt have a choice at the time.

ʼIʼve made my decision, and Iʼll stick with it until the end, as promised... Iʼll protect her, even if she wants to kill me for it.ʼ

”Questions and answers are useless. Now that Iʼm connected with the ritual, you know an easier way to get the information you need from me, right?”

Victor shows his neck to Agnes:

”Look in my memories.”

A vein pops in Agnesʼ head, ”Why donʼt you try to explain yourself!?”

”You wonʼt believe me.”

”...” Agnes stared at Victorʼs neck with a reluctant look. She really didnʼt want to do that, even if something was drawing her to bite that delicious neck, she didnʼt want to do it.

”Master!/Lady Agnes!” Kaguya, along with Hilda, arrived at the scene.

Seeing her masterʼs plight, Kaguya tried to intervene:

”Master-.”

But Victor just raises his hand in a stop sign.

Kaguya would only get hurt if she got close to Agnes now.

”Agnes, what are you waiting for?” Victor spoke in a neutral tone that held no emotions.

”...” Agnes continues looking at Victor.

”Do it.”

Agnes grit her teeth in anger while her red eyes were glowing brightly as if she wanted to burn Victor alive.

”FUCK!” She gives an annoyed scream, opens her mouth, and bites Victorʼs neck violently.

”!!!” All the memories of Victor and Adonis talking to each other flashed through Agnesʼ mind.

She saw it all, even Adonis himself offering that this was the only way to save his soul.

”They will never forgive me.”

”Violet will forgive you. She is a foolish woman like her mother, it may take a few years, but she will definitely forgive you… But Agnes? Probably not.”

Suddenly, she feels someone touching her shoulder, she quickly turns around and sees Adonis.

”No need to hate him too much. Heʼs not to blame... And forgive me for my selfish decision, but... I didnʼt want to fall into that womanʼs hands.”

Crack, Crack.

Agnes comes out of Victorʼs memories and wakes up in reality.

”Adonis...” All her power disappeared, and her eyes began to flow with tears, ”My darling...”

The woman began to cry silently.

”I had no choice... Wrong, I had a choice, and I chose what it took.”

Looking at the man lying there with a tearful gaze, thanks to their connection, she could feel a sadness deep in her entire being.

He did what had to be done, but that doesnʼt mean heʼs happy about it. It wasnʼt the result he wanted.

And... She understood that.

”...” Agnes remained silent.

”I couldnʼt let him fall into the goddessʼs hand... Therefore, I made a choice.”

”...”

”His soul will remain within me safely until the day I find a way to bring him back to life...”

ʼIf thatʼs possible...ʼ He continued with a depressing thought. He instinctively knew that by absorbing Adonis, the very existence of man no longer existed.

The being that ʼformedʼ Adonis died when being absorbed by Victor.

Yes, he still has the soul of Adonis, with him, but he instinctively knows that if he ever revives that soul, he will not be Adonis. Instead, he will be a completely new being.

Like a blank page.

And that thought made him depressed; ʼIn the end, it wasnʼt the goddess who killed him but me... You fool, why didnʼt you tell me that before?ʼ

”...Who are you, now?” Agnes asked as she tried to compose herself a little.

”...Victor, and at the same time a being who has the memories of Adonis.”

Victorʼs eyes glowed violet, ”Everything he knew, I know, all the experiences heʼs had, Iʼve had, all the hatred he has for Persephone and Aphrodite, I have too.” His entire speech was filled with hate and anger.

Despite having memories of someone else within himself…

Victor instinctively knew who he was, and who was dominant. That was the kingʼs instinct, an instinct not to get lost in this giant sea of memories heʼd inherited from a 1700-year-old vampire.

”... You know everything...?”

”Yes.”

”Even how I knew him, and what I was like before…?”

”Yes.”

”Even our first time...”

”...” Victor was silent, the answer of confirmation was not necessary.

”Answer me!”

But it seems Agnes wanted a satisfying answer.

”Yes, Agnes. I remember everything.”

”......” Agnes was silent as she lowered her head. She was in a confused and grieving state, she didnʼt understand anything anymore.

”Hilda.” The voice came out so natural it even startled him a little.

”Y-Yes!?”

”Take care of Agnes, she needs to rest.”

”...” Hilda opened her mouth a little in shock as she looked at Victor, followed by the sense of authority emanating from Victorʼs body and the resemblance he had to Adonis. Unconsciously, she was a little surprised when he called out to her.

”Hilda?”

”Yes, I will take care of her.”

Victor tried to get up, but...

Agnes held him, ”Darling... Where are you going... Darling...”

”Are you going to abandon me...?”

”....” Victor bit his lip when he saw Agnesʼ state. She was inconsolable, he was a little surprised by her sudden change of mood, but he remembered that she was always like that, her mood changes quickly.

Agnes was always like a bright fire. When she was happy and excited, she could burn the world, but when she was sad, she was like a little flame full of insecurities, and dependency.

Despite wanting so much to comfort the woman, Victor knew he couldnʼt do that. It wasnʼt his right.

He is not Adonis, although he received all of that manʼs existence in his body, he is not Adonis.

He is Victor. He is not Adonisʼ replacement.

”Agnes, I...-”

”Do not say anything!” she roared.

”I know! I know! I know!” She walks away from Victor and gets up as she looks to the side and continues, ”I know youʼre not him... I know...”

Seeing the tears falling down the womanʼs cheeks, Victorʼs heart sank.

ʼFuck, this fucked up situation... All because of that bitch.ʼ

Agnesʼ state made him angry.

And that anger was amplified by Adonisʼs already existing hatred.

ʼPersephone...ʼ Victorʼs eyes were lifeless and cold:

ʼYou will pay for this.ʼ

Victor gets up from the floor, ”Hilda, Iʼm counting on you.”

”Yes...” Hilda approaches Agnes and holds the grieving woman, and soon she takes her away.

Victor continued watching Agnes until she disappeared from his sight.

All his melancholy expression disappeared, and a serious, calculating look appeared on Victorʼs face.

Adonis was not a fighter like Victor or a battle maniac. If talking about personality, Adonis was the complete opposite of Victor.

Born without strength, he had to use his last resort to try to survive.

His brain.

”Kaguya, bring the bald man out.”

”YY-Yes, Master.” Kaguya stuttered a little. She was a little surprised at Victorʼs sudden command.

”Become dog food.” Victorʼs hand grows to become the head of a demonic beast.

”...” Kaguya was a little shocked when she saw this, as she couldnʼt get used to the sight of a hand turning into a demon beastʼs head.

The demonic beast opens its mouth full of sharp teeth and swallows the bald man whole.

Victor touches his chin while he was organizing the information he just got.

ʼNiklaus...ʼ

ʼSon of a bitch, are you involved in everything?ʼ He gritted his teeth, but soon his expression went neutral.

He organizes the names and appearances of the people involved, and to his surprise, werewolves, and even a small group of witches, were involved.

”Oda.”

”...” A man came out of the shadows and stood behind Victor:

”Iʼm not Adonis, and you know it, but... These men dared to set foot in my wifeʼs mansion. They wonʼt get away with it.” Victorʼs hair floated as if defying gravity, and his countenance was stark black like a demon that has come out of the confines of hell.

”Do you agree to be under my command for a few hours?”

”...” Oda narrowed his eyes. Initially, the only ones who can order Clan Blank are the Count and Countess of Clan Snow, Agnes is like that, and the Count has been absorbed by this man, from what he can understand, at the request of the count himself.

ʼIf master trusted him... I will trust him... For now.ʼ

”At your service, Master.” Oda knelt down.

Victor flashed a small smile.

”Oda, call all of Clan Blank that are scattered throughout the city, place the most experienced individuals guarding every exit from this city.” He turns forward and looks at the moon.

”The remaining members of the Snow Clan must stay here and protect Agnes and the non-combatant members.”

”Kaguya.”

”Yes, master.”

”You are my most trusted Maid. I want you on the front lines.”

”....” Kaguyaʼs smile grew, and she said, ”As you wish, My Master.”

Victor displayed a neutral and cold expression as he looked at the moon. He would not fight, he would kill.

Kill, and kill, today he would:

”All the cities of Nightingale will be painted with the crimson blood of my enemies...”

ʼIt doesnʼt matter if itʼs vampire, human, or werewolf. Everyone responsible for this mess will die today.ʼ
