Chapter 15
Lest Karr overheard what the other nobles were talking about yet he wants to confirm it and confirming it means seeing it with his very own eyes thus the little Lord had everything planned. To set the net to capture the traitors of their own kind, the idea of Krul and Ferid being punish an eternal torture is something he would never miss. Looks like he it's been ages since the last time he felt this kind of excitement. He strode back to his room to think a proper way to reveal the silver snake and his beloved queen.
Somewhere in the heart of the vampire city, Guren Ichinose and his cohorts were locked in a dark cell that belongs to the nobles of Japan. They do not have time to see through the whole vampire capital but Guren had heard enough from his fun partner. He felt himself shivering in delight upon confirming that Mahiru is indeed with them. Guren almost lost hope when his one true love is no longer of any contact. "She's still here" He whispered to himself She is with our partner-in-crime—
Shinoa eyed her master with calculating eyes, Rare as she admits it; she is somewhat scared of what the man will do next. No, she is not afraid of him in particular. What the little Hiragi is so afraid of is… what the man possessed by Mahiru will do. Whatever agreement her sister had with the vampire noble is something too important for Ferid Bathory to risk his own head.
"Is there something wrong?" Mahiru chuckled, she likes it when her sister is giving that calculating looks. It reminds her of her younger self even before she became a complete demon.
"…." Shinoa narrowed her eyes before turning her head away
"Soon even Ferid's blood will no longer suffice your thirst. Drink from humans to gain enough strength" The demon-human hybrid said to her younger sister. "Shall I lend you a hand?"
"She is perfectly fine without your help" Mikaela Hyakuya muttered to the demon amongst them.
"How cold, is that how you talk to your beloved Yuichiro?" The purple haired genius teased the blond vampire. Her 'ghost' form touching the vampire's shoulders
"I see; we hit another never, no? Poor Mika-kun~ Your princess will never return your unrecruited love~" Ferid grinned from ear to ear upon seeing Mika seething in anger. Ah poor dog—
Krul just eyed the younger vampires and demon quietly; she is hoping to see her brother soon. The soon they fulfill their roles the better. Ashera— wait for me. I will save you.
"Shinoa is with them" Yuu muttered, a glimpse of hope is visible into his emerald eyes. "We need to save them. Mika and Shinoa—"
"We are not saving anyone, brat. We do not even have any means to save ourselves now" Kureto snapped.
"But you saw her! She's your sister isn't she? Shinoa—" Yuu clenched his fist "It's your fault. If you did not do that to her she would have been here with us not with those blood suckers!"
"Yuu-baka! Quit shouting" Mitsuba smack the back of the Seraph experiment.
"What's wrong Shinoa?" Mahiru whispered into her sister's ear. She observed that the girl is trying to compose herself but her involuntary gulping per minute
"Aha, do you want me to lend you a hand my dear?" Ferid folded his hands in front of his chest.
"Be quiet" The Hiragi princess hiss as she tried to ignore the two menace
"Krul?" Mika called out, the little vampire girl turned her attention to the doorway.
"Mika, why don't you be so kind and lock the door?"
"Why?"
"Because your master say so, boy" Mahiru teased.
Lest Karr narrowed his eyes upon hearing the human pets of Ferid and Krul were talking to someone that the German King failed to see. At first, he thought that they were talking to Ferid but upon close inspection, looks like that is not the case. Ah looks like someone is hiding something.
"What do we owe your sudden peeping m' lord?" Ferid said to where he is sitting.
"?!" Lest Karr was at first startled but still he managed to compose himself in a second
"I see, the cat took your tongue huh?" The silver head noble grinned.
"Don't be rude, Ferid Bathory. I was merely walking around here when I heard your lackeys talking to someone.
"Are they?"
"Don't make me look like a fool. You know exactly what I am talking about" The German king narrowed his eyes
"Mika-kun, Shin-chan, is it true that you were talking to someone that is not probably here?"
"…" The vampire king glared at the newborn vampires as if a mere glare can threaten them.
"No, Lord Ferid" Shinoa and Mika answered in unison. "We have no idea what his majesty Lest Karr is trying to say"
"Liars, how dare you human—" Lest stopped once he saw Ferid snickering "What's so funny, Ferid Bathory?"
"You" The seventh progenitor answered truthfully. "Weren't we all humans once upon a time? It just so happen that you were lucky that the first founder found you and gave you what you have right now"
"How dare you a seventh progenitor—"
"Please stop with your threats. I am hardly threatened" Ferid chuckled as if the whole thing is nothing but a comedy skit
"Is this how you train your nobles, Krul?" The shortest noble hiss
"Ooooohhh blaming Queen Krul again, aren't we? What are you a child? Oppps please excuse that" The seventh progenitor teased the shorter vampire until he felt the back of his head hitting the wall.
"How dare a lowly seventh progenitor—" Lest Karr grabbed the man and he gouge out the younger vampire's heart unknown to him, Urd was already behind him.
"What are you doing Karr?" The stoic king of Russia coldly asked the troublesome king.
"He— it is not what you think it is Lord Geales—" Lest Karr stuttered
"…" Ferid the curse crawling into his skin. His crimson eyes were almost lifeless, blood drips down his wound and lips.
"He attacked Ferid Bathory for merely asking why he is eavesdropping on us" Krul Tepes said with pride. The little queen folded his arms in front of her flat chest.
"Give back his heart Lest Karr. He is becoming a demon" Urd eyed the seventh founder, the only person Rigr turned into a vampire.
"But—" Lest Karr desperately tried to make Urd listen to him. He narrowed his eyes on Ky Luc once he saw him snickering.
"Silence. Give his heart back. You are a king and you must set an example to the others especially to the newborn vampires. This hardly a work of a king" Urd failed to hide his displeasure towards the brat.
"…" Lest Karr shoved the heart inside Ferid's body and he moved away to the vampire noble.
