In the last two days, Rudy had used his powers more than he ever did in his entire life. He still hadn't completely recovered (mentally) from the overuse of his powers in the world of illusion, and he once again used a lot of his powers today.
Since the function was near its end, Jane got up to greet the royal guests who didn't come to the palace so often. Rudy was left alone, and he couldn't wait to go back to Jane's room so he could get a nice sleep.
While waiting, his gaze fell on the ripped pieces of the scroll on the ground.
'What's that?' he wondered.
He got up and grabbed the piece nearest to him to see something written on it. But since it was a vampiric language, he couldn't understand it.
He showed it to the maid on the counter behind him and asked, "What's written here?"
The maid squinted her eyes before reading out loud: "Nyxia…"
"I see." Rudy carefully looked at the letters and learned the vampiric language, although he needed more words to grasp it fully.
He picked up all the pieces he could find and showed the random ones to the maid. After learning a few more words, Rudy began to sort out the pieces and arranged them accordingly. But he was missing a few parts, and he couldn't find them anywhere.
'Well, whatever.'
Most of the scroll's content was already restored, so Rudy slowly began to read it. He had a few mistakes in the vowels but understood what it was about.
"So they were from the Alucard kingdom, huh? I thought they were royal guests. Well, that doesn't matter. Even if the Lord himself tries to groom my Jane, he shall fear me."
After reading the conditions, Rudy sighed in relief and muttered, "Not going to lie, I was pissed off at Jane's ancestors for making a contract like that, but after reading the conditions, I can tell he didn't mean any harm."
Three people had signed the contract along with a signature seal with their names.
One was, of course, Vlad the seventh, the second was Luis the twenty-second, and the third was Nyxia.
'Hmm?' Rudy raised his brow with an amused look on his face and wondered, 'So this is where Nyxia's name was. But why is her name here? This contract is old. There is no date written, but it's the era of Vlad the seventh, and Virgil is Vlad the thirteenth.
Nyxia said she had seven sons and two daughters, so let's assume Vlad the seventh was Nyxia's eldest son. So that would make Virgil the thirteenth Vlad.
However, I remember Virgil mentioning that his father was considered as Vlad the twelfth. This is so disorienting that it's making my brain hurt. I should go to sleep.'
Rudy glanced around to look for Jane, but she seemed busy.
SIGH!
'Maybe I should leave?'
Rudy waited for a few more minutes, but Jane was surrounded by even more royals now. So he turned to the maid at the counter and uttered:
"If Jane asks you where I went, tell her that I am sleeping in her room."
The maid nodded in response with a smile on her face.
Rudy got up and slowly walked out of the hall. For the first time after getting the powers, Rudy didn't feel like walking.
'This reminds me of my university days when I used to walk my way from the shelter facility to the university and from there to my workplace.
Dammit! This sucks. I have become so dependent on my powers that the usual stuff seems tedious and tiring to me now.'
SIGH!
"I should find a way to increase my mental strength and make it limitless just as my powers. Of course, eating healthy food is not going to help me here. The only way to increase my mental strength was to use as many powers as possible.
It's just like going to the gym and doing reps. Your strength increases as you regularly increase the weight and all. I don't know much about fitness as I never went to the gym in my past life, nor do I plan to go there in this life."
"Arara~ What are you muttering, boy?"
"...."
Nyxia hugged Rudy from behind and flew him away with her.
"Oh, come on! What are you doing!" Rudy groaned.
"Hmm? I thought I would give you a ride. Where do you want to go?" Nyxia whispered in Rudy's ear.
"Drop me off at Jane's room."
"Arara~ How about coming to my room?"
"I really want to sleep, and I am in no mood to entertain you right now."
"Someone is in a foul mood. It's saddening. I thought we had formed a nice bond after what we did yesterday in the royal bathhouse. But here you are, treating me as a stranger."
Rudy leaned his back on Nyxia's body, feeling her soft mountains pressing against his back, and uttered, "I am not. I am just not in the mood. You may meet me again after I have woken up. I will entertain you as much as you want."
"Arara~ You have to specify what type of 'entertainment' you are talking about. My innocent self might misunderstand and expect something else, only to get disappointed afterward."
"How about this? You can ask me anything you want, and I will do it without a single complaint."
Nyxia smirked from the corner of her lips and seductively whispered in Rudy's ear:
"Let's see if you are a man of your word or not. And if you try to play dumb, I swear, I will make you pay for it."
"Oh? What would you pay with? Your body?" he scoffed softly.
Even in a state like that, Rudy's 'Rudyness' was still the same.
After flying all the way to the balcony of the hallway where Jane's room was, Nyxia landed with Rudy.
"Here you go," she said as she let go of Rudy.
"Thanks for the ride."
Rudy began to walk to Jane's room, but Nyxia pulled his clothes and muttered, "Where is my reward for giving you a ride?"
"...."
Nyxia closed her eyes as though she was waiting for Rudy to do something to her.
Rudy moved his face close to Nyxia's face before opening his mouth. He moved his lips to her lips, but suddenly, his fangs elongated, and he buried them in Nyxia's neck.
