My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires

Chapter 1122: Harmonious Family. 2

”Leaving aside those useless people, tell me more about your experience.” Leona returned to her gentle expression.

”…Hmm… Everything I learned in the Dream World wasnʼt completely useless. Thanks to that experience, I, as well as most of the sisters, managed to maintain the mask of Imperial Princesses, although it was completely suffocating.” She grumbled.

”Keeping up appearances while so many interesting things were shown was very difficult. Fortunately, most of our sisters managed to do so, and those who couldnʼt, we were able to hide due to our sheer numbers.”

Leona nodded in satisfaction at the camaraderie between sisters: ”Itʼs because of this suffocation that comes with keeping up appearances that I, your other Mothers, and your Father didnʼt want you to present yourself in public until you were at least adults.”

Although there were some abnormal Daughters who, thanks to their Divinities, matured faster, that didnʼt mean they had the maturity needed to handle such huge responsibilities.

Bodily maturity did not mean the same as emotional and mental maturity.

All of Victorʼs Daughters were still categorized as Baby Dragons and Adolescents, with some now leaving the Adolescent stage and entering Adulthood. But none of them were fully mature Dragons, like their Mothers and Victor himself.

In these early stages, it was much harder for a Dragon to control their temper. However, thanks to the education they had and the countless training sessions, they were quite controlled compared to a Dragon that had no education or training.

”...But we want to help our Father...” Leone spoke for herself and her sisters.

”Itʼs frustrating, you know? Just sitting around doing nothing when we could be doing something useful.” Leone let her feelings leak out a bit while explaining to her Mother.

”I understand that you want us to be children, but... Itʼs hard.”

Leona smiled proudly and, at the same time, a little sadly. These were the consequences of their upbringing. There were good sides and bad sides to any upbringing. The way a family nurtured the younger members could make them very responsible, but at the same time, it could force them to enjoy their youth less than expected of other children.

But despite this, Leona did not regret it. She preferred to deal with the difficulties of very responsible Daughters than very spoiled Daughters who believed they could do whatever they wanted.

Just because they were Gods, Princesses, Daughters of The Emperor himself, it didnʼt mean they could do whatever they wanted. There were rules to be followed. Leona and Victor, despite having been raised much more ʼfreeʼ, were not like their classmates whose parents did not care about their upbringing.

They had present parents who taught them about life, and Leona and Victor tried to do the same for their Daughters, an upbringing style that all Mothers in this Family were forced to follow.

After all, Goddesses like Gaia, and Nyx in particular, didnʼt care about how their children were raised and just let them do whatever they wanted.

This attitude of both led Victor to reprimand them and say that it was because of this attitude that their children acted like Greek Gods were stereotyped as behaving.

This was a very rare event since Victor rarely reprimanded his Wives. After all, most of them were responsible, but when it was necessary, he did it.

The two became quite sad and contemplative after listening to Victor, and since that day, they have tried to be more responsible with their own Daughters.

The Gaia and Nyx of today donʼt even compare to those of the past in terms of responsibility.

Aphrodite couldnʼt help but smile proudly at seeing Goddesses as old as them changing, too.

”I know, and we admire you for that, but now you understand our concerns, right? We are not stopping you because we donʼt want you to help your Father. We are stopping you because you are too young to handle such a huge responsibility.”

”Because you are Imperial Princesses, the moment you take on a role, it will be an important role that just one mistake could affect the lives of many people and cause many problems.”

”Yes...” Leone sighed. She understood her Motherʼs reasoning very well now. It was frustrating, but she understood.

Although The Empire was mostly a Meritocracy, there was still pure nepotism throughout The Empire, All the extremely important functions of The Empire were in the hands of The Emperorʼs Family. All of Victorʼs Wives assumed some form of critical position, and when some were not available, there would be a rotation of positions, as in the case of Sasha, who could assume several different positions depending on the situation.

Sasha was not the only one. All of the Wives had some level of competence in all Administrative areas of The Empire, so this rotation of positions was possible.

The only ones who had steady jobs were Velnorah, Scathach, Rose, Violet, Anna, Helena, Ruby, and Aline. They were simply too good at their craft to leave, or their positions were too important, like Violet being The Empress. Although, when some of them are ʼtiredʼ some of the Wives will take over their positions temporarily. РâƝỔβĘʂ

The same example would apply in the future when their Daughters were ready to enter The Empire. This did not mean that other Beings who were not from The Emperorʼs Family could not rise to power. They just will not take on extremely critical positions.

In this way, corruption was completely abolished throughout The Empire. All these strategies and systems of job rotation were only possible in Victorʼs Empire because of the close-knit Family that Victor has worked hard to create.

If this were a normal Empire where The Emperorʼs Harem was always competing for the Emperorʼs attention, such a thing would never happen.

In fact, if this were a normal Empire, the women of the Emperorʼs Harem themselves would not even be involved in the Empireʼs Administration. They would just be ʼflowersʼ that The Emperor looked at from time to time, with only a few important ones taking on more Internal Administration.

Not to mention that in a normal Empire, most of the women in The Emperorʼs Harem were utterly useless and full of vanity, very different from Victorʼs Wives, who were all Masters of their own craft and women with very long lives.

However, comparing an Empire of Gods with an Empire of Humans was unfair. After all, the Gods had more leeway due to their lifespan, which had no expiration date. But the example still stands.

Because The Empire is the way it is, the Wives had a strict list for future members of Victorʼs Harem. After all, they didnʼt want to bring in someone who could break the Family dynamics they had built.

ʼAlthough, Darling doesnʼt want any more women for the Harem... But Violet keeps adding them... Is that woman right in the head? I know sheʼs never been right in the head, but bringing women into the fold? Does she still dare to call herself a Yandere?ʼ Leona doubted her sisterʼs sanity. Even if she doubted her actions, she wouldnʼt go against her because all of Violetʼs actions somehow helped their Family and The Empire.

ʼI think sheʼs getting even crazier because she views potential futures too often.ʼ Leona thought she should warn Violet the next time she saw her.

”Speaking of worries... Mother, what are these subordinates?” She asked curiously and added: ”They were following us around, preventing anyone from getting in our way.”

”Oh, they are Dragons, created by your Father, to be your subordinates. There will be a rotation of subordinates who will assist you all if necessary. Each of them received prior knowledge of The Empire and are equipped to help you in everything.”

ʼAnd in some cases, sacrificing themselves for you if necessary.ʼ Leona did not tell her Daughter this part. Although her Daughtersʼ Souls were protected in the event of a possible death where they would simply return to their Fatherʼs safe embrace, Leona did not want her Daughters to ever experience that.

”Oh...”

”Didnʼt you hear their explanation?” Leona was sure that the subordinates introduced themselves to each of her Daughters. She was even present at that moment, her hawk-like eyes watching every step of the new women.

They may be her Husbandʼs Creations, but her protective instincts made no exceptions, especially when it came to her Daughters.

”...” Leone blushed, turned her head to the side, and began to whistle.

Leona sighed. ”I really donʼt know what to do with you guys and your total lack of attention spans.”

This was a peculiarity of all their Daughters. If they didnʼt take an interest in something, they literally didnʼt register it.

They were not sick or anything like that, the Family already checked. It was simply a trait of their personalities that they inherited from their parents, the trait of a ʼYandereʼ.

Leona remembered that she was the same when she was younger. She only came to improve upon it when she became more adult-like and finally got Victor for herself.

ʼAnd this was the result...ʼ She looked at her Daughter lovingly and then looked at her hair, specifically the ends of her hair that were tied with a butterfly-shaped scarf.

Those black tips were inherited directly from Victor, even the texture of her hair was similar to Victorʼs. She also noticed that when Leone suffered some change in emotion, Miasma would start to leak from those tips.

ʼI wonder what kind of Power she will awaken when she becomes an adult.ʼ Leona didnʼt find this peculiarity strange. She knew it was just a manifestation of her Daughterʼs dormant Powers that just hadnʼt entirely manifested because her body wasnʼt fully grown.

Most of their Daughters had something like this, a manifestation of a Power that would fully awaken in the future.

”Anyway, continue explaining how your day was.”

”… Donʼt you want to know more of my impressions?”

”Do you have more?” Leona raised an eyebrow. Knowing her Daughter, she wouldnʼt think deeply about the intricacies of The Empire, and only think that it was difficult and not as easy as she assumed it would be. Was she wrong?

”No…”

Apparently not.

Leona laughed lightly, ”Then tell me how your day was.” She hugged her Daughter from behind and patted her head.

”Mm.” Leone nodded and soon began to tell her Mother about her day, who listened attentively.

...

Victor smiled to himself as he observed several scenes similar to Leonaʼs on his personal planet. Seeing how harmonious his Family was always filled him with joy.

Even if he had to work overtime to take care of the various duties left by his Wives, he didnʼt mind. It was a small price to pay to see this scene.

Currently, he was divided into several different points of view.

One Victor was observing the World Trees and repairing his own Inner World where the World Trees connected to them resided.

Another Victor was taking a nightly stroll and cleaning up The Empireʼs trash under a false identity.

Another Victor was in space looking at the barrier between the Sectors at a certain point where the barrier between the Sectors was weaker than normal. He would not remain passive, waiting for something to happen, he was already planning to take a part of himself to the Upper Worlds as a scout. Although, this plan needed to be done with extreme care.

Another Victor was still teaching his Daughter to understand her Powers, giving her proper training so that she would not accidentally blow everything up.

Another Victor was ʼpamperingʼ Hela Elderblood inside the room where time moved much slower than outside, leaving her in a completely exhausted state. This same Victor was waiting for Violetʼs signal to pamper Kali, Albedo, and Dun Scaith.

All these functions were being carried out with maximum efficiency, all thanks to his abnormal brain.

The Emperor, Victor Elderblood, was a man of multitasking.

ʼHonestly, if I hadnʼt worked on this before, I would have been completely sick of it.ʼ Victor thought. Dividing himself into several different points of view was a very difficult task. It was like trying to play two different video games with different genres at the same time, with the same efficiency you had when playing just one game.

He could only do it because he was Victor.
