My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires

”Hmm, please keep Violetʼs departure a secret from unreliable Clan members. You can report it to her friends and Victorʼs relatives who are here.”

Oda just nodded and disappeared into the shadows.

...

Adrastea Clan Territory.

Office of Eleonor in Warfall.

Natashia, Scathach, Roxanne, Eleonor, and Rose were staring at Viviane.

”Let me get this straight, Master.” Eleonor rubbed her brow and sighed a little, then she spoke in a tired tone.

”You want to leave your ʼsecretʼ allies here?”

The girls look at Scathach.

”Hmm, as you know, we are creating a faction, but since we donʼt have structures right now, we have to hide our ʼmostʼ important allies.”

”Not to mention that the Fairies canʼt be out in the open like that. That drew too much attention since they are a race desired by all.”

”Bringing them to Clan Adrastea is more viable. After all, almost nobody sets foot here.”

”… What about the city being welcomed by new beings into the Snow Clan?”

”The beings that are entering that place are allies of ʼNightingaleʼ. Specifically speaking, of Vlad.”

”They are not allied with our faction or Alucard yet.”

”Not to mention we canʼt take the risk of recruiting people now and that information leaking out, so only select individuals will form an alliance with us.”

”Work with quality, not quantity, huh,” Rose commented.

”Correct.” Scathach nodded and looked at Viviane.

The fairy with divine blood squirmed a little at the look of Scathach; it was an intense gaze that seemed to know all her secrets.

ʼI feel like Iʼm not wearing clothes. This woman is dangerous... Although this woman named Rose isnʼt someone to be trifled with either...ʼ

”Fairies are a race that hate impurities, so they are very pure and connected to nature. That nature manifests itself in their allies as well. If the fairy is here, the ʼmonstersʼ wonʼt even be able to come near the city; they are also able to know who is lying to them.”

”...” Viviane opened her eyes a little:

”You seem to know my race quite well.”

”Humph, how old do you think I am? Your kind was very common in the past. Unfortunately, greed ended up destroying your race; in our world, being beautiful and ʼspecialʼ without strength is a sin.”

”Not to mention that I trained Arthur.”

”... What!? You trained Arthur!?”

”Hmm, the bastard had talent, but unfortunately, he never reached his full potential, and he didnʼt gain that much strength. When he took the Caliburn, he completely relied on the sword and forgot about his own body. The same thing happened when Merlin gave Excalibur to him.”

”Why didnʼt Merlin tell me anything!?”

”Why does he need to say something?”

”... Huh?”

”It doesnʼt matter who he trains, right? He just needs to stay strong.” Scathach snorted in disdain. She didnʼt mind gaining a reputation for training her ʼstudentsʼ, but that was not something that interested her. She was only interested in the strength and the potential of the individual; the rest was all secondary.

”But-.”

”Hmm, excuse me... As much as itʼs interesting to talk about my masterʼs adventures, can we get back to the subject, please?”

”Oh, you are correct. Anyway, knowing these abilities, you can already imagine how fairies can help, right?”

”Hmm, I thought of a few things… But mostly, I want to clear my territory. Iʼm very aware that there are spies here among the merchants.” Eleonor nodded with a smile on her face.

ʼWith the help of the fairies, I can get rid of these old men from my territory.ʼ

”Oh? You donʼt think someone from your Clan might be a spy?”

Eleonorʼs face visibly distorted but quickly changed to a neutral expression, ”The probability is low...”

”But itʼs not impossible, right?”

”... Yes... But I trust my people-.”

”... Eleonor, donʼt ignore a possible problem because you want to trust someone, sentimentality for a ruler is necessary, but in excess, itʼs just a weakness that can be exploited.”

”I am not talking about being a tyrannical dictator, but a competent ruler.”

Eleonor groaned inwardly in annoyance. She hated these Scathach lectures, even though she understands itʼs necessary, itʼs still annoying. Yes, she knows that the woman has more life experience than her, and she knows that her advice is always welcome, but Scathachʼs tone as if he was teaching a child was irritating.

ʼ...Although, at her age, everyone is a child in her point of view...ʼ Somehow, she started to feel better now and began to listen carefully to her masterʼs advice. But, to be honest with herself, she missed that too.
