Chapter 546  : A new Faction.

It was worth mentioning that she had to wash her eyes on the first day, but on the second day, she kind of started to like it.

The anime was weird and "bizarre", but... Acceptable.

Cough.

Violet coughed and got everyone’s attention.

"Continuing where we left off, we will create a Faction where the Snow, Fulger, and Scarlet Clan are completely united."

"Along with Werewolves, ex-Hunters, an Onmyo Mage, and Witches, we will support each other to grow."

"Clan Alioth and Adrastea will be left out for obvious reasons," Violet spoke with a roll of her eyes.

The two women flinched when they heard the mention of their Clan name.

"Violet." Victor narrowed his eyes, not liking how she spoke, "Don’t force them. This decision is more difficult for them."

"Darling, I totally understand their position, and I respect that." She spoke in a serious tone.

"..." Victor displayed a small smile.

"But that doesn’t mean that I approve! Humpf, taking this chance to be fondled by my husband… those bitches."

"...." Everyone was speechless. Is that what you don’t like!?

Victor just laughed softly when he heard her reasons.

"Mm." Agnes nodded several times, satisfied. She agreed 1000% with her daughter. She couldn’t say anything previously because she was not in ’that’ kind of relationship with the man, but she still didn’t like the sight.

’How can I say, as expected of Violet, I guess!?’ Eleanor thought as she glanced at the woman from the corner of her eye.

"It still amazes me that the Clans of Vampire Counts would accept this…." Natalia spoke. Despite spending a lot of time in contact with these Clans and knowing that their respective Clan Leaders were now basically Victor’s wives, she still found the decision surprising.

"Aren’t you all allies of the King?"

"...." Agnes, Natashia, and Scathach just rolled their eyes.

From the beginning, Agnes was only loyal to only her husband; she would give the world to him.

Natashia was lost in the past, and she was loyal to her desires. But when she found Victor, the man accepted her... Thus, she had utterly dedicated her being to him.

Just like Victor lovingly cared for her and her daughter, Natashia wanted to take care of Victor.

Scathach was a lot like Natashia in the beginning and was just true to her desire, but when Ruby was born, someone who had her blood, she became loyal to her family, and that never changed. It was just that the family grew more.

Violet looked at Natalia:

"Unlike Clan Adrasteia and Alioth. Clan’s Snow, Fulger, and Scarlett are not eternal allies of the King."

"Clan Scarlett only came into existence when Scathach herself came to Nightingale, and with her own prestige and strength, she created the Clan." Violet looked at Scathach.

"I only created Clan Scarlet because the old man convinced me to. I never particularly liked getting involved in politics, nor was I interested in having subordinates." Scathach spoke.

"As you can see, Clan Scarlett only consists of 5 members... Well, if you count Luna, who is looking after our daughters, that’s six members."

"Clan Scarlet can’t even be called a proper Clan; it’s more like an insanely strong family."

"..." Scathach nodded in agreement.

"The same goes for you, Darling. Because you’re so young, you’ve only played the role of ’exploration’ once, and the creation of your Clan was for the same reason as Scarlet."

"… You guys really are alike even in that," Violet commented with a slightly jealous tone.

Victor and Scathach just showed a slight smile while Victor caressed Eleonor, who was almost the same size as Victor, only 5 cm shorter than him, so their position was perfect.

Violet just snorted when she saw their smiles. She wasn’t jealous, okay? Believe her! She had never been jealous in her life!

"The Fulger Clan…" Violet looked at Sasha and Natashia.

When they realized that people’s focus was on them, mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.

"Fuck the King."

"..." Eleonor and Natalia’s eyebrows twitched when they heard what the two said.

"I don’t have any connection with Nightingale; the only reason my mum agreed to come to Nightingale was to find a ’home’ and gain ’power’. But, she wanted to experience new things too.""It could be said that our goal has already been accomplished, and Clan Fulger thanks the King deeply for this, but…" Natashia turned cold.

"His recent actions involving the Vampire Counts and Clan Fulger don’t please me one bit."

From the moment Ophis’s mother died, the King kept more things from his Vampire Counts, always scheming alone. The Vampire Counts became ornaments to keep society going, and it wasn’t like that in the past.

In all essential decisions involving Nightingale, the King consulted the Vampire Counts. Yes, the final word was still his, but he usually only decided after seeing everyone’s point of view. But that didn’t even happen anymore.

"So it can be said that our position is one of indifference."

"See?" Violet looked at Natalia.

"... Haah..." Natalia took a long breath and touched her brow, "I guess I should blame the King for his negligence then." Natalia lost count of how often her Father came home complaining that their King never saw him or listened, which happened many times when she was a teenager.

Another thing she never understood was why the King never tried to bring the ’pillars’ closer to him.

’He could very well have married his sons and daughters to the heirs of the Snow Clan, Fulger, Scarlet, and Adrastea.’ But, the moment she thought about it, she quickly understood how unfeasible such an idea would be.

Every Vampire Count family had its own internal problems, and with the characters who were the Leaders of each Clan, this kind of scenario was impossible.

Perhaps the former Natashia could have done it, but Scathach, Eleonor, and Agnes? That’s impossible.

Again, Natalia looked at Victor with wide eyes.

’Isn’t this man very charming and unfair? How did he manage to win over mother and daughter? I mean, the daughters are understandable since they are young, but the mothers too?’ Even though she had watched the entire process, she still found this situation hard to swallow.

’Even the Adresteia Clan…’ She looked at Eleonor and Rose.

She blushed a little as she remembered what had happened to her just a few minutes ago, and it was then that she realized that she had fallen into that trap too.

’He’s powerful… Master is very powerful…’ The charm alone of being a Progenitor didn’t explain this whole situation.

The proof of that was Scathach herself, the Strongest Female Vampire.

Her Master was just too irresistible; the combo of a strong, sadistic, honorable, caring, and possessive man was just too deadly.

"...." The Mothers and Daughters of the Clans of Vampire Counts smiled slightly when they heard what Natalia said. It proved that the position of ’duty’ was quite diluted in Natalia’s mind.

"It seems that... Things aren’t united here either, huh." Edward spoke in a loud voice getting everyone’s attention.

"What do you mean?"

Remembering his Father’s words, Edward elaborated:

"A similar situation happened in Samar; unlike Vampires, we Werewolves are not immortal, and we just have an extremely long lifespan based on how much strength the Werewolf has."

"And the current King is considered ’old’."

"… How old is the King?" Victor interrupted, curious.

Edward looked at Victor, who had an extremely beautiful woman on his lap, a woman who was doing her best to hide her face. She wanted to leave this place, but she couldn’t. The comfort was too great, and she fell into the honey trap.

His lips twitched a little, and he said:

"I don’t know; we just know he must be around 2000 to 3000 years old. What in our society is considered extremely old."

"Hmm, can you elaborate a little more?" Victor asked curiously. He had read stories about it, but understanding it directly from a Werewolf was much more interesting.

"For example, starting from Betas. The life expectancy of Betas and Omegas, the Werewolves that are not Alphas, is only 500 years."

"... Only that?"

"Yes, compared to Vampires, it may be little, but we have an advantage."

"Wolves develop faster, which is a common trait for beings with ’short’ lifespans," Scathach said.

"That woman over there has the same level of power as Siena."

"…Eh?"

The Scarlet sisters looked at Leona, who had a ’V’ in both hands.

"Yay."

"..." Veins bulged on the heads of the three stepsisters.

That stinking dog!

"Don’t use my sister as a standard. She is special even in our Clan." Edward denied the comparison.

"Ara, but aren’t you special too? Even by Werewolf standards... I presume you could at least beat a trained 1000-year-old Vampire if you used your Full Wolf Form, no?""..." Edward pursed his lips:

"Does nothing escape your eyes?"

"Experience. I haven’t lived 2000 years for nothing, and I’ve created several warriors throughout my life." Scathach’s eyes glinted slightly as she looked at Edward.

"...." Edward could only remain silent and ignore Scathach’s smile. He had a bad feeling about that smile and didn’t want to poke the sleeping dragon.

"Cough, getting back to the point—."

"Oh, don’t forget to say that Werewolves fuck like rabbits, and their fertility is higher than Vampires. It’s not uncommon to find a Werewolf family with 30 or 40 children from the same Father or the same mother."

"..." An awkward silence fell around.

"The grandmother of these two siblings has a reverse harem. So if you find someone with white hair in Samar, there is a 90% chance that this person is related to Clan Lykos."

The two siblings just blushed in embarrassment as the Vampires, who didn’t have complete information on the Werewolves, looked at them in disbelief.

Leona, on the other hand, squirmed for a different reason. She could feel Victor’s gaze devouring every bit of her body, and looking at Victor; she saw him looking at her with a neutral gaze and a bit shocked like most people were.

’Give that bastard the Oscar for best acting; he deserves it.’ Her instincts weren’t wrong after all. She’d felt it all through her teens, and even though he could hide it well, she could feel it all.

The proof of this was Victor’s own scent that was now emanating, an irresistible scent that she had to hold back so as not to attack him. She had marked Victor as hers for a long time, and because of that, she was quite sensitive to changes in his emotional state, especially if it involved her.

Even if these changes were imperceptible because he was of another race, she could still feel it. Naturally, female Werewolves had a stronger mating instinct than males.

... And all of it made her feel aroused and wanted, proving once again that she wasn’t wrong in her assumptions.

And unconsciously, when she thought about it, it made her insides clench. It was extremely difficult to concentrate on anything else when her childhood crush was there, not to mention that she was in heat.

Which made it all the more unbearable.

"That’s why they’re called the Vampire’s rival races." Agnes continued.

"While we have a few extremely overpowered individuals like Vampire Counts, Samar has numbers, and each Werewolf can be as strong as a trained 1000-year-old Vampire."

"But if so, shouldn’t they have the advantage over the Vampires?" Pepper asked.

"Daughter, a fight is not determined purely through power level. Remember that each Faction has a different way of measuring strength and evaluating it. Therefore, this method is not 100% correct."

"And although Vampires have few elites, some of us are enough to take care of an entire Werewolf army, like me, for example."

"...." Edward and Leona pursed their lips. Using the Strongest Female Vampire as an example is unfair! She is an anomaly!

"Even Agnes and Natashia are not exempt from this. When we use all our strength, only the Generals or the King and Queen themselves can deal with us."

"And that’s not counting the Vampire King himself and his elites who were trained by me."

"So it’s not ridiculous to say that Vampires and Werewolves have a fairly even balance of power; after all, every nation has its trump cards. I bet that old Vlad also has a hidden trump card that only he knows; the same situation likely applies to Volk as well."

"Remember that although we are a Faction, we are more like a different country, and countries always have hidden strengths that nobody knows about."

"..." Jeanne and Morgana nodded,

"Something similar happened in Hell. Even though we didn’t have as many ’minions’ like Diablo, Lilith was still a powerful Faction since her elites were strong." Morgana set another example.

"Using these siblings as an example again." Scathach continued.

"They are almost the same age as Victor, and their strength is already high."

"I don’t know how they behave in battle, but if old Adam trained them from childhood, they must not be weak."

"..." Pepper pouted. She felt like her mother was scolding her, but she understood that she had just set an extended example for Pepper not to treat this as a game.

In battle, anything could happen. She remembered her mother saying that, and Victor reinforced that idea in his training.

Leona and Edward felt awkward when they heard the words ’Old Adam’ coming from Scathach. After all, the woman was older than everyone in the room here!

"You thought something rude just now, didn’t you?" Scathach narrowed his eyes at the siblings.

"N-No, you’re imagining things." The two said at the same time.

’How did she know!? What a frightening instinct.’

"Hmm…" Scathach didn’t buy that excuse.
