My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires

Chapter 793: When two progenitors work together.

”Volk Fenrir, where in your recent actions were you ʼlightʼ?” Vlad questioned Volk.

Volk looked into the red eyes of the First Progenitor of Vampires through the monitor. ”I neutralized Tashaʼs influence and regained control of my people, something I should have done from the beginning.”

Vlad simply looked at Volk without reacting to the manʼs words.

”The fact that you donʼt see what you did wrong surprises me greatly.”

Volk narrowed his eyes. ”Donʼt act as if I were a child, Vlad. I know what Iʼm doing.”

”If you knew, we wouldnʼt be having this conversation now,” Vlad replied.

”Did you call me just to point out my possible mistakes? If so, you can leave. I have many things to do.”

Vladʼs eyes narrowed dangerously, his blood-red eyes gleaming in crimson. ”Volk, think about whom youʼre talking to right now.”

”Do you want to start a war?”

Volk fell silent, his bored expression immediately turning serious upon hearing Vladʼs words.

The gleam in Vladʼs eyes diminished slightly as he noticed Volk returning to normal, and he continued, ”You asked for my help, and it was you who couldnʼt handle the Second Progenitor, leading to such a drastic decision. All these situations are the consequences of your own direct or indirect actions.”𝑛𝒪𝔳𝑬𝗅𝓤𝗌𝗯.𝒞𝓞𝓂

”If youʼre so senile that you canʼt recognize this fact, then our conversation is over, and Iʼll let you deal with the consequences alone... I wonder how youʼll handle that troublesome man.” When Vlad gestured to get up from his chair-

Volk quickly spoke, ”Wait, youʼre right.”

Vlad remained silent, looking at Volk as if waiting for something.

”... Iʼm sorry...” The grimace Volk made seemed as if he had eaten the sourest lemon ever discovered by mankind.

Vlad smiled internally upon hearing Volkʼs words, but his face remained unchanged.

”See? Itʼs not hard to be civilized. Now, letʼs continue.”

Volk tried to control his expression, but it proved to be a challenging task.

”Firstly, Iʼll point out your mistakes.”

”Your attitude was very hostile. Are you forgetting who your damn wife is?... I mean, ex-wife.” Vlad corrected himself from his clearly ʼunintentionalʼ slip.

Volkʼs eyes glinted a bit in cerulean blue; he realized that Vladʼs slip was indeed intentional, but he didnʼt comment on it. ”Because I know who she is, I made a quick decision.”

”Idiot, you think you know her, but you donʼt fully understand her.”

”... What do you mean?”

”Tasha has been called The Monarch of Beasts by The Egyptian Gods, Volk. You donʼt earn a Title like that from the Egyptian Gods without doing something significant.”

”The proof of my words was how she quickly reacted to your ʼattack.ʼ”

”...”

”She was prepared; Tasha has been betrayed once, and those who go through that experience become very paranoid about everything and everyone, and thatʼs the case with Tasha too... But you must already know that, right?”

”Yes, I confronted her directly.” Volk nodded.

”That was your second mistake.”

”... Huh?”

”If you were going to do something so significant, you shouldnʼt have gone to confront her. You should have let her come to you, and in the meantime, your subordinates could have further diminished Tashaʼs influence.”

Volk opened his eyes widely upon hearing what Vlad said.

ʼThatʼs why the planning part was left to Tasha, Volk. Youʼre a good warrior and a decent King, but... Being decent in this world is not enough.ʼ Vlad thought to himself.

”Not only did you confront Tasha, but you also gave her the opportunity to nurture flames of revenge... Now, youʼre in a very delicate situation.”

”... What do you mean?”

”I bet my entire fortune hidden under my mattress that The Demon King has already contacted Tasha.”

Volk didnʼt know how to react to these words, either because The King of All Vampires had a fortune under his mattress or because of what this same King was telling him.

”Thatʼs impossible. I was watching over the entire capital, He...” As he was about to finish speaking, Volk saw Vlad being covered by a dark power, and in the next moment, a completely unknown man was standing in front of him.

”Form, size, and identity mean nothing to me, Volk. I can be whoever I want, whenever I want. All Noble Vampires have this ability if trained to the fullest, and Iʼm sure Victor Alucard has reached the same level as me; heʼs a damn monster.”

”Even if he has that ability, heʼs a damn narcissist. He wonʼt change his appearance much; he still prefers to be himself,” Volk claimed.

ʼ...Unexpected. To think that he would hit upon one of Victorʼs characteristics... Although this thought is a bit wrong too. If necessary, Victor will change to a completely different appearance just to fulfill his objective. But thatʼs not the case now.ʼ Vlad thought.

”Youʼre right, but you also forgot something... He has a Maid from The Blank Clan with him.”

”Not to mention that he has proven many times that he can even elude Tashaʼs Elites, Werewolves who were created to be Perfect Assassins through training that you yourself must know how difficult it is to complete. Those men and women are the Elites of the Elites, and yet, they couldnʼt find Victor.”

Volk frowned as the image of Victor and Tasha meeting appeared in his head, and for some reason, he could vividly imagine that scene. This mental image made him grind his teeth in anger.

Seeing that Volk accepted his reasoning, Vlad said, ”Continuing.”

”If Victor met with Tasha, he must have done something, probably used his Playboy Charm or something to comfort the wounded woman.”

”Tasha is not that weak, Vlad.” Volk retorted.

”You donʼt understand.” Vlad shook his head as he leaned back in the chair.

”... Huh?”

”When I say he was ʼcomfortingʼ her, I mean that in a way of a cunning Demon. He was likely stoking her desire for revenge.”

Volk opened his eyes widely.

”Donʼt forget, Volk. He is The Demon King. Despite being a Vampire Progenitor, he spent roughly 700 years in Hell, ruling over all of Hell with his tyranny. Heʼs more Demon than Vampire now. Thereʼs a reason the Beings of Hell gave him the Title of Demon King of Tyranny.” Vlad left these words open and waited for Volkʼs reaction.

The principle of manipulating a desperate person was to let their own imagination play tricks on them. Vlad didnʼt know if Victor did what he said or not, and he didnʼt care. All he wanted was a reaction from Volk.

”... Fuck, what should I do?” Just imagining a furious Tasha being supported by The Demon King coming after his ass made his spine shiver.

”This is exactly what you said would happen, Vlad.”

Vlad smiled internally; this was the reaction he wanted. ”Yes. It happened as I predicted. All because you couldnʼt follow the damn plan.”

Vlad shook his head slightly in disappointment.

”Asking for Fenrirʼs help is out of the question; The ENDʼs Wolf has become a great friend of Victor. The same will happen with The World Tree. It values Victor more than me... Perhaps, my acquaintances from the Pantheons? No, they would only take advantage of the situation.” Volk started to murmur, then he began to pace back and forth.

Vlad let Volk rack his brain for several minutes, waiting patiently.

30 minutes later, Volk seemed to have exhausted his ideas, and he looked at Vlad clearly with a look that was asking for help.

Vlad chuckled internally when he saw Volkʼs expression. ʼThis man is so used to depending on someone for complex matters that he doesnʼt even realize the kind of hole heʼs digging for himself.ʼ

”... What do you suggest, Vlad?”

”Honestly, this situation is too messed up to do anything about it.” Vlad was honest... Well, not entirely.

”To solve your problem, you would have to mysteriously make Victor disappear... No, ignore what I said. That action would only send all the Demons of Hell, and his crazy Wives, into extreme fury.”

Even though he was called The Demon King of Tyranny, Victor was quite beloved in Hell. The reason for this was that, in a short time, he managed to do what no one else could and make Hell prosper. It wasnʼt a lie when he said that if Victor disappeared, all of Hell would burn with flames of vengeance.

”Vlad, stop monologuing.”

ʼIf I donʼt monologue, I canʼt make you more desperate.ʼ Vlad thought. For the Vampire King, the more desperate Volk became, the more control heʼd gain over the Wolf.

ʼI really have to hand it to Victor; heʼs very good at these games.ʼ Vlad just realized that if he and Victor worked together, they could do anything...

ʼWhat am I thinking? I wonʼt work with that bastard; this is the last time.ʼ Vlad huffed internally, but even he knew he wasnʼt being serious. If necessary, and depending on the situation, he would work with the Second Progenitor, as he was doing now.

”Vlad? Why are you silent?”

”... Iʼm thinking of how to get you out of the hole you dug for yourself.”

”Oh...” Volk nodded.

”... I really hope whatever you ask of me in the future wonʼt be absurd,” Volk commented after a few seconds of silence.

”Oh? You understood that?”

”Of course, itʼs not like you to help someone for free, Vlad.”

”Hmm, good to know you understand me,” Vlad replied naturally.

”So, have you thought of something?”

”Yes, I have two suggestions. Itʼs up to you to decide which is the better course.”

”Tell me.”

”You need allies, so I suggest you seek someone to help you, even if you lose something in the process.”

”... Who?”

”The Celtic Gods.”

”Never.” He refused definitively.

”The Witches?”

”Those women are in isolation doing god knows what.”

”... Hmm, me?”

Volk narrowed his eyes. ”Explain your reasoning.”

”Well, first of all, I am the one helping you.”

Volk couldnʼt deny that.

”Secondly, I can probably convince Victor to stop what heʼs doing.”

”... How?”

”My biological daughter sees him as a father.”

”And thanks to her, we are in a status quo where we donʼt harm each other, but we donʼt help each other either.”

”Therefore, if I get involved, I can make Victor put this matter aside, and youʼll have to deal with Tasha exclusively without the interference of The Demon King.”

Volk seemed to think for a few minutes before he spoke, ”... Tell me about the second suggestion.”

”This suggestion is more radical and more effective, but I donʼt recommend doing it.”

”Just tell me.”

”Use your youngest son, Thomas Fenrir, as a scapegoat. Kidnap him and threaten to kill him if Tasha doesnʼt show up. When Tasha appears, tell her to kill herself, and you wonʼt touch her son.”

”... Huh?” Volkʼs face narrowed.

”As she is very attached to her son, she will easily take that action.”

”... I will never do that, Vlad.” Volk would never stoop so low as to threaten his own flesh and blood, who did nothing wrong.

If Thomas were a traitor, he wouldnʼt hesitate, but the boy is innocent.

”As I said, itʼs a more cruel option; I wouldnʼt even do it.” Vlad nodded, understanding Volkʼs words. ”As a King, we must consider all available options and make the best decision for the people, regardless of our feelings.”

Because of this mentality, Vlad was described as the ʼperfectʼ King. He is a perfect King for his people but not for his family, an attitude that Victor could never achieve.

”So, which will you choose? Option 1 or option 2?”

”You donʼt even need to ask; Iʼll choose the first one.”

Vlad laughed internally when he saw that he had achieved his goal with just his words. He got up from his chair and said:

”Very well, send one of your wolves to fetch me in Nightingale. Iʼll ask Alexios to open the Space around us.”

”Okay.”

...

With Vlad.

”So, when will you talk to me?”

Vlad looked at Victor, who was sitting in the corner of the room with crossed legs and a relaxed posture. He seemed very bored with everything.

”Soon, probably in two to five days, depending on Volkʼs reaction. But as heʼs desperate, probably in two days.” Vlad replied.

”Mm.” Victor nodded. ”Iʼll spend time with my Mother and Wives in the meantime.” He got up from the couch and walked towards the exit.

”Oh? Arenʼt you going to talk to Tasha?”

”Nah, she doesnʼt need any more motivation. All she needs now is...” Victor smiled twistedly. ”Revenge.”

”When that happens, she will naturally unleash her full potential.”

”... And what do you expect that revenge to be?” Vlad asked.

”I donʼt know. But I hope to be surprised.” Victor opened the door and left.

”Hmm~.”

A portal appeared next to Vlad, and Alexios came out of it.

”I feel a little sorry for Volk and the Werewolves,” Alexios began. ”Having the attention of two scary Progenitors after your people isnʼt a very good feeling.”

”The weak are destined to be exploited and follow the rule of the strong... Fortunately, the Werewolves wonʼt suffer that fate. After all, we donʼt want to harm the Wolves. We only want to make them stronger to be allies in the future.”

”... We?” Alexios raised an eyebrow.

”This problem became ours when I decided to get involved with the Werewolves.”

”I see... It seems like youʼre fully committed to this situation.”

”Itʼs an opportunity, after all.”

”The more allies we have, the better it will be when dealing with the Elder Gods.” Vlad spoke, then he got up from the chair and said, ”Take me to Nightingale; I must wait for Volk.”

”Yes, My King.”
