That blood oath surely was important for the Vampire Race. I didn't know about it, nor had I heard about it before. But looking at this situation was enough to know that it was more important than I would've thought.
"Very well." I stood up and bit my thumb, letting my blood flow onto her palm, mixing with hers. It was just a drop, but I saw a very lustful expression forming on her face as her nose twitched slightly.
As soon as our blood mixed, she brought her palm to her mouth and drank them.
"Hnn~" A moan escaped her lips as her body quivered. "T-This… Delicious!" She exclaimed happily.
And at that moment, an unexpected notification arrived in my ears. This was out of my expectation, mainly because I did nothing.
But the windows floating in front of me were real.
[Blood oath has been made!]
[You need to feed her with your blood once a month, or she will go crazy!]
[Ding! Lucienne Brunet is dominated!]
[Now she can't refuse your order!]
I didn't press yes or anything. The only thing I did was to let her drink my blood. And probably, the one who accepted it was the Vampire girl in front of me because I noticed she pressed something in mid-air with her index finger earlier.
"Haa… Haa…"
Lucienne breathed heavily as her cheek flushed red. She licked her lips, smearing red blood color over her lips. Somehow she looked at me while holding her cheek. The blood that was on her arm covered her beautiful pale skin.
"I've decided." She said, her smile turned into a maniacal grin. "You shall be my blood mate, Arthur." And she began to call my name in a loving manner as she approached me.
Stopping in front of me while showing her two sharp fangs, she continued.
"Please give me your blood once a month, or I will become crazy from our oath. I will be able to trust you with this."
'Crazy woman!'
It seemed like I made a mistake giving my blood hastily. I thought it was just like a promise between two people, but I had dominated her due to this oath, and I needed to feed her my blood once a month, or she would go crazy.
Did I make a mistake? I quickly used 'Requirement Appraisal' on her. And her description made me speechless.
'What the actual fuck.'
Name: Lucienne Brunet
Race: Vampire
Description:
One of the leaders in Border City, leading the Vampire Race, and the owner of 'Domination House' in Border City.
An obnoxious woman who only thought of her and her kin's prosperity. She will do whatever is necessary to gain power and will sacrifice anything to get the upper hand.
She loves blood and will only drink blood from one person she likes. With a Blood Oath she initiated, she could let herself be dominated by people she chose as she was the owner of <Domination Crest> title.
A massive Yandere who won't let the person whose blood she likes out of her reach.
Status:
Sins: 350
Virtues: 0
Sins needed to dominate her: 350
Requirement:
1. Make a Blood Oath (Done)
'I didn't need more Yandere in my life! Just 3 are enough; I even avoided two because one was unnecessary in my life and was crazy with her father. Meanwhile, I wasn't ready to face the other one, my shy maid with a loose screw in her head.'
The fact she was the owner of 'Domination House' was a pleasant surprise because I didn't need to find them anymore.
Anyway… it didn't seem that I could escape her, knowing that I had no way to cancel this 'blood oath.' So I answered.
"I am counting on you."
What I could do, however, was to use her as much as possible so the price I paid wasn't useless. And it didn't specify how much blood I should give her, so probably one drop a month was enough.
Lucienne's expression was twisted beyond belief now. She looked really happy in contrast to her distrust and anger earlier.
And so, I decided. Although it was faster than I planned, but…
'I should leave this city as soon as I give Beatrice her new instruction.'
***
An hour had passed since then, and I asked Lucy to return first and not bother me. Yes, I called her Lucy now as per her request, and I complied because calling her Lucienne was too hard and too troublesome.
After she left, I immediately went to Beatrice and told her what she needed to do before returning to the hotel and left Border City while carrying the wolf girl, whose name I found was Ria.
How? Because I used 'Requirement Appraisal' on her to make sure she wasn't another Yandere. I had enough with an additional one, making 3 Yanderes take a liking to me and one still trying to get into her father's pants.
And the result came to me, complete with her backstory.
Name: Ria
Race: Wolf Kin
Description:
A child full of misfortune left by her parents in the Border City. Living a rough life, she became dependent on her savior, Raven.
Through growth, she had trained to become strong in order to help Raven. However, the man didn't even look at her, and she thought she was not good enough.
With that, she developed a fiery personality, biting and clawing everyone who came close to her and becoming hated by others, even in her own group.
She wants to be loved and seek it, a spoiled and kind girl at the core but putting a strong front because of her upbringing.
Status:
Sins: 0
Virtues: 50
Sins needed to dominate her: 100
Requirements:
1. Make her feel loved.
2. Teach her to become strong.
3. Introduce her to some friends.
Unlike my expectation for her to be similar to Sophie, it turned out this girl just needed some love. She had no family name due to her being left by her parents when she was still a child, a backstory similar to Rania and me.
After I read her description, I became happy, and my decision to bring her back was cemented. It seemed like she hadn't received a good life back in the Border City, so manipulating her would be rather easy.
The fact requirements to dominate her were to introduce her to some friends and teach her to become strong, meaning she also had no big desire.
At least she had the ambition to become strong, making her the perfect person to become a pawn I could use.
'It's rare to meet someone like her. Leaving her to those girls in my knight squad would hopefully fix her fiery personality and let me finish the second and third requirements unless I need to teach her myself.'
Someone as beautiful and gullible as her was too precious to be left in the Underground City. What if a bad person like Raven decided to use her? Rather, I knew he had used her, seeing how she had become dependent on him.
First of all, I would make her believe that Raven had sold her to me, which was done by getting a slave certificate with his signature written on it. I also put a collar on Ria's neck with Raven's signature, proving that he was the one who put it himself.
This step was done, and the next step needed to wait a little.
"There it is, Rose Barony."
I stopped on a hill a bit away from the visible city, kicking dust toward the air as I stopped myself. Because it was so sudden, the earth didn't completely absorb the force behind my run that Ria, who was in my arms, almost fell.
"Woah, that was close," I muttered. "I need to control my strength carefully. It's a bit hard since my stats break the limit."
"Ugh…"
A groan escaped her lips, and her eyes quivered open. It seemed like she had woken up from the shock earlier as Beatrice's skill duration had ended.
Her long eyelashes fluttered open, and she frowned deeply as she groaned.
"Urgg… I…" She was still half-conscious, trying to make out what had happened. Then her eyes widened as she saw me. "You! You're that guy!"
She began to move and trashed around in my arms, trying to struggle out of my hold. "Release me, bastard! Why are you so strong?!"
Using her hands, she tried to push me away but couldn't due to the difference in our strength. Then she noticed the collar on her neck as her hand brushed against it.
"A collar?! What the fuck?! Take this off!"
"Stay still," I ordered, smiling softly and putting more power to hold her. "Calm down. You're safe. That guy you called leader had sold you to me, and I rescued you from that city."
"You're lying! Raven wouldn't–"
"Look at this."
Her voice stopped when I pulled the slave certificate from my inventory to show her. At least she could read; that was good news.
"Lying… That must be fake! Release me! I want to retur–"
Before she finished her sentence, I knocked her out softly, and she lost consciousness again. Her strength disappeared as I held her softly close to my chest.
Having her struggle like that was troublesome, and I had no time to explain it for now. I would let Emilia explain the situation to her, as having another woman explain it might be easier for her to accept.
And I needed to take care of Vivian's matter now, so I had no time to explain and help her with everything yet. Finishing that matter was currently more important than getting Ria's trust.
"Your turn will come after Vivian and Eliza. I hope you can stay calm while I dominate Eliza and her mother at the same time." I muttered with an evil grin as I brushed my hand against Ria's soft ears.
The fur behind her ears was soft and warm, making me want to caress it.
"I will make sure you will be happy on my side, wolf girl. I would definitely have a great time taming your fiery personality and making you look meek in front of me but a courageous knight in front of the others. And I would make you feel loved, just like you wanted."
