Virgil, Jane, and the soldiers glanced around to find the source of the voice, but they couldn't see anyone.
Of course, Virgil and Jane had recognized that it was Rudy's voice, but it was his first time hearing someone's voice and not seeing them.
The clouds kept rumbling with thunder as lightning painted the sky. Clouds covered the sky and hid all the moons and stars, and even though there was no sun in the vampire world, without the moons, the world seemed dark, which quite suited the vampire world.
The lightning kept aggravating as it began to illuminate the area. One after another, there were hundreds of lightning going off at the same time.
Suddenly, a few lightning strikes hit the palace and the area around, but no one was hurt. Then, a whirlwind was formed, but it was made with pure lightning.
"What's going on?!" the soldiers panicked.
"If that thing drops on us, this entire kingdom will be annihilated within a second!"
"Why are all the calamities happening today?!"
"Is this Lord's wrath?!
"Or is this the calamity brought by the cursed child?"
"Hey… don't say that in front of…"
They turned to Virgil and asked, "What should we do about it, Vampire Monarch?!"
Virgil stared at the lightning whirlwind and calmly said, "I will take care of it. You all act according to plan."
"Yes!"
However, before Virgil could even react, the whirlwind formed by pure lightning suddenly descended on Jane and engulfed her in it.
"Jane!" Virgil yelled and dashed to the whirlwind, but he was pushed back by a strong force.
"Jane!" he yelled again.
"Calm down, son."
The whirlwind slowly faded away, and Virgil's eyes widened in astonishment when he saw Jane was unscathed. Even more, she was in Rudy's arms, kissing him passionately.
After the kiss, Rudy glanced at Virgil from the corner of his eyes and smirked at him.
Virgil had so many questions he wanted to ask, but there was something most important that he had to know. He slowly opened his mouth and asked:
"Rudy, why are you naked?"
Rudy was butt naked with not a single piece of cloth covering his body, not even his private parts.
"Well, I had to hurry, and I didn't have time to turn my clothes into the molecular level and then reconstruct them after. So I ditched them and got here in the fastest way possible.
And as for my entry… trust me, I wasn't trying to make it link that. It just happened."
"Lightning and whirlwind don't just happen, at least in the vampire world," Virgil remarked.
"Oh… no. You see, I used molecular teleportation, which allowed me to teleport here on a molecular level. At first, I thought it would be easy as I had already used it, but it turns out using it to teleport to a different world can be… shitty.
Most of my body cells were lost in between, so I remembered a term called 'speed of light.' And light is indeed fast, but I used the speed of lightning. So I just turned my body into lightning so I could travel with lightning speed, quite literally. But it was obviously too fast.
I couldn't control it and my cells spread across this continent. So to gather all of them in a short amount of time, I went up to the sky and created a whirlwind to gather them. And they were still traveling at the speed of light so…"
Rudy shrugged his shoulders and said, "I will not try this again. For real, this time. It's honestly annoying. Anyway, can I get some clothes to wear? I have a war to participate in."
"You don't have to—"
Rudy already knew what Virgil was going to say. So he interrupted him as soon as he opened his mouth and said, "I saw it. I saw everything. Believe me, their army is too big, and you can't let them invade this kingdom."
"...."
"I will take care of the right side. You can go either north or left. And the same for Jane."
"Wait a minute! Are you seriously letting Jane fight a war?!" Virgil shouted in disbelief.
"Yeah. I have fought her, and I know how strong she is. Let her participate in this war, and the others will realize who she is. I don't want her to be recognized or labeled as 'Lord's Wife'.
I want others to recognize her as a child of the blue moon who saved them. I mean… think about it…" Rudy smirked from the corner of his lips and said, "Wouldn't it be humiliating to be saved by someone who you berated for your entire life? They should remember that feeling well.
I want it to be engraved in their minds that every time they hear Jane's name… no, every time they see the Blue Moon in the sky, they remember Jane, and they experience that humiliation again and again and again."
"You truly are an entity befit to be a Lord…" Virgil sighed.
He turned to his soldiers and pointed his finger at naked Rudy.
"Get him clothes!"
Two soldiers left to get clothes for Rudy, but a few seconds later, Niti came flying and stopped in front of Rudy. Her face had mixed expressions of happiness and anxiousness, but her eyes were fixated on Rudy's snake, which was hiding between Jane's legs.
She was busy doing her daily duty, waiting for the portal to open so Rudy could come here. But then she heard Rudy's voice echoing in the sky and realized he had arrived, just not in a way she had expected.
She handed clothes to Rudy and said, "Welcome back."
"Yeah, it's good to be back." Rudy was dressed in less than three seconds and let go of Jane as he no longer had to hide behind Jane.
Rudy was shameless, but he wasn't an exhibitionist who would show his naked body for no reason. He might have done that if there were girls around, but regardless, it wasn't the right time to do all that.
"For some reason, I feel uncomfortable in these clothes." He uttered as he tried to fix his snake inside the clothes.
