Chapter 499: The Ultimate Yandere.
The first thing Victor saw as he came down from the basement with Leona was a white rocket that came and hugged him and began to smell his body all over.
But before Victor could stroke the hair of this excited rocket, the rocket stopped as if it had short-circuited and spoke.
"... That smell..." She looked up and said:
"A wet dog." Violet's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Yes, I'm here too, leech." Leona snorted in disdain.
"...." Violet turned her head quickly and looked at the girl next to her.
"What are you doing here!?"
"What? I can't accompany my childhood friend wherever he goes?" She flashed a small smile.
A vein popped in Violet's head when she heard the word 'childhood friend' from Leona. The woman was clearly defying her!
Two lightning bolts shot out of Leona and Violet's eyes and clashed in midair.
Despite the situation with his wife and his friend, Victor was looking at it all with an amused look.
While he caressed Violet, who was holding him like he was going to run away or something.
"Vic, you know that non-Clan members cannot enter here, especially a...-" Before Agnes could continue, Victor spoke:
"I know, don't worry. Leona won't tell anyone, I can guarantee you that."
"..." Agnes swallowed the words she was about to say and felt a slight jealousy of how 'determined' he seemed to be in regard to that woman.
Looking at the circle below Agnes, Victor felt a slight pang in his heart, a bad feeling that he quickly ignored. He knew he couldn't go deeper into that feeling. After all, he was the one who told the woman to make a decision.
"Apparently, you've made a decision."
"Yes..." Agnes spoke softly and continued:
"You came at a good time. Shall we finish this ritual?"
All Agnes got from Victor's response was his silence...
A silence that seemed to last forever.
For some reason, she felt that Victor was judging her with those violet eyes that were just like her late husband.
But unlike Agnes' paranoia, Victor was having an internal struggle.
Victor wanted to move and respect Agnes' decision, but the foreign 'feeling' was preventing him from doing so.
And the worst part of it all was that this feeling seemed to be allying with his 'obsession'. His protective side that he has for all his wives, and because of that, he couldn't move.
Victor gritted his teeth, and his eyes glowed blood red as he clenched his fists and internally screamed.
'Enough.' A small burst of red air shot out of his body, and it slightly startled Violet and Leona, making the two white-haired girls' struggle stop and look at Victor.
A glint of disdain appeared on his face.
'I'm you, and you're me, but I'm the fucking one in charge.'
A tall man's face appeared next to Agnes. He was like a ghost, a ghost that only Victor could see, the ghost displayed a small smile, and slowly he started to disappear.
Controlling his emotions back, Victor's eyes become less intense.
He knew what that ghost was. It was the lingering feelings of Adonis in his body, the intense feelings that made him the man he was.
Feelings that only appeared when Agnes was involved in the problem.
'It seems that the shock of knowing that Agnes wants to divorce made my feelings get a little out of control.' Victor thought.
"Victor...?" Agnes looked strangely at Victor.
"Darling, are you okay?" Violet took Victor's hand.
And feeling the warmth of Violet's hands, Victor began to become much calmer, in a very serene way.
"..." He looked at Violet and smiled softly.
"Yeah, I was just dealing with a little nuisance."
"...I see... You know if you need anything-."
"Yeah~." Not letting Violet finish, he stroked her head.
"I'll be counting on you." He lightly hugged Violet and kissed her head.
"Mm…" Violet felt sweet inside as she felt the warmth of Victor's body and his sweet words.
Looking at this interaction, Leona's feelings turned into chaos, jealousy, envy, anger, and hatred.
Several negative feelings were going through her head. She wanted it to be like this for her! Not this bloodsucker.
"...?" She looked up, and before she knew it, Victor was in front of her.
"You really are hopeless, huh?" Victor spoke with an amused smile as he stroked her head.
'When did he get here?' She was honestly curious but not curious enough to care since she was having internal spasms when she felt Victor's gentle touch. It was a very nostalgic feeling.
'And to think that she would lose herself in her anger for a moment...' Victor thought in amusement. He wasn't angry with her because he knew that the trigger that led Leona to act like that in this whole situation was himself. If there is a culprit, he is the culprit.
'... It's been a while since I did this to her... And her hair is softer than before...' Victor remembered a memory, he was in a room with a girl, the girl was lying on his leg, and he was stroking this girl's head.
They were watching a movie, but the movie didn't seem to entertain the young wolf enough, and she fell asleep under Victor's caresses.
A memory that happened at Victor's house, an old memory of two teenage friends.
"Tsk, Tsk." Violet clicked her tongue several times in clear annoyance as she crossed her arms and turned her face away.
"Agnes... Let's continue." Victor stopped caressing Leona when he felt, and saw through her body language, that her negative feelings had dissipated.
"Y-Yes." Agnes, who was feeling quite mixed feelings about this whole situation, spoke in a stuttering manner.
Victor walked towards Agnes and asked out of curiosity:
"From what I can understand from you, this decision was too abrupt. Has anything changed?"
"...." Agnes looked at Victor and thought about her decision, and after a few seconds of silence passed, she said:
"I realized that no matter how much time passes, I will never stop loving Adonis. After all, he is my 'darling', and you who date my daughter must know how special these feelings are."
"...." Victor just nodded in agreement. He understood very well.
"I understood that even if I get 'divorced', I will not tarnish my husband's memories."
"He would rather have me stay healthy than suffer from the side effects of the ritual."
"That's true." Victor spoke unconsciously and closed his mouth instantly.
This situation was by far the most complicated for Victor, the reason being that the feelings he is feeling are not his... Or must it be his now that he has absorbed Adonis, and Adonis is essentially 'him'?
Victor internally shook his head and tried not to think about it. It is because of these complications that Victor will avoid 'absorbing' another person in the future.
Because in doing so, he is essentially fussing with another being while maintaining the dominant consciousness, but these foreign feelings are very troublesome. It's not like he doesn't like Agnes.
In fact, he loves her. He loves her on the same level as Violet.
But Victor can't tell if these feelings are a mixture of his and Adonis's or just Adonis's.
[In the end, it doesn't matter, stop brooding over something useless.]
Victor suddenly found himself in a red world.
And in front of him was a shadow that was strangely missing one of its hands.
"You are you, absorbing people or not, don't think too much about those feelings. It's not healthy." The being advised.
"...That's a very wise thing coming from you."
"I understand this matter better than you, considering I am you too." The creature flashed a terrifying smile.
"Guess you have more things to talk about, huh…"
"Of course, what do you think we are? We are progenitors, entire bloodlines begin with us, we are the beginning, and as progenitors of the vampire species, our power taps into a realm that only entities of death can wield."
"The domain of the soul."
"Absorbing Adonis gave us all of that man's life experiences, his feelings, his curses, his powers, everything."
"No matter how confusing these feelings are, it doesn't matter since they are a part of you. After all, essentially speaking, this is the new 'you' now."
"...." Victor was silent and thought about the words of the being in front of him.
"... Surprisingly, you're right."
"..." The entity just showed a toothy smile and said:
"You must have a stronger mindset and create an image of yourself as your 'I'."
"...Why?"
"Because when we unite, you will acquire everything you were originally supposed to acquire, and that could confuse you." The entity raised its hand, a gesture that showed that its hand that was originally there was no longer there.
"..." Victor looked at his right hand and saw that his hand had become completely made of darkness with red 'veins'.
"The process has already started."
"...Keep up what you're doing, you're on the right path."
"The answer has always been with you all along."
"Now go back. You have a divorce to sign."
"...." Victor's smile twitched slightly, and he huffed and turned away.
And soon, he found himself back in reality, and seeing Agnes smiling gently at him, he smiled helplessly.
Agnes smiled a little more gently when she saw the helpless smile on his face. She could understand that those actions were her husband's 'feelings' inside him, which essentially were his feelings too.
"Let's get started. The whole process should take less time than getting married."
"Getting married is hard, and it's full of preparations, but getting divorced is easier, huh."
"It's the same with human law as well."
"Indeed."
While Agnes and Victor were making their preparations, Leona, who was next to Violet, spoke:
"Am I misunderstanding something, or is it my imagination?"
"What?"
"Victor married your mother?"
"It's a little more complicated than that, but yes..."
"...." Leona was speechless.
Inwardly delighting in that expression, Violet spoke:
"By the way, he married my friend Sasha's mother, who is also his wife."
"..." Leona's look of shock only increased, the reason being because she knew what kind of training Scathach was doing with Victor.
"Triple Oyakodon? What the hell…" She was purely and legitimately shocked.
'Not only the heiresses of the most prestigious clans but also the mothers of these heiresses!? What the fuck? Is your body made of some addictive nectar?'
