Draculina Manthar was not unfamiliar with the notion of Dominance, yet she was 'inexperienced' when it came to being subjected to it.

At least, not to the level I put her through as I knew that she was quite the 'darling' when put through the right amount of pressure. This was literally hilarious, but I could tell it was this world's way of saying that there are kinds of Mesugaki that are quite… masochistic. It was amusing, really, as it subverted the idea that a little brat like her, both physically and personality-wise, was actually a little slut in the making.

I didn't run her butt just yet through anything sexual, but I sure had her humiliated to check what were her limits. Not too harsh, not too lenient. From an ambitious and gluttonous attention-seeker, the white-haired girl was instantly tamed through the use of proper butt-slapping.

Walburga was quite stunned by this development, and I could tell it got a reaction out of her that was tied to her inherent sadism. I gave most of the hurdle to 'train' Draculina to the witch since she had a bit more creativity when it came to set up a program to get the brat fully 'geared-up' once she was mature enough.

Still, as much as it was delightful to have a new pet of the Mesugaki kind, I also had to take some responsibility due to it. First, I had to write a letter to Lord Tepes to announce the 'forced contract' that I saw fit to properly enact on the basis of being 'pushed' into it, but also confirmed that I 'saw fit to punish the perpetrators' of such action meant to undermine the reputation of the overall faction.

I was not going to lie that I had accepted it, but I put an emphasis on it being less of a planned thing and more of an issue I had to face through unorthodox methods. I received a response the very next day, with Lord Tepes 'chastising' me for the way I had handled the situation. In truth, he had wanted to have the troublemakers for himself so he could judge them himself.

He admitted that I had a right to what I had to do, but he also remarked I could have 'taken under consideration that it would have been a nice gift' for me to give him. I guess a 'basket of fruits' kind of appeasing gift had to be sent, something that would make him happy and… I just had the right thing in mind.

It took me a week to get all preparations wrapped up, but my 'descent to hell' was a safe affair through the assistance of Walburga. The girl had been there before, but she hadn't exactly ventured into the territories owned by House Naberius.

Branch Clan to the Nebiros Family, the Naberius group was one of those 'organization-type families' that tended to have an interest for specialized efforts. In this case, the man I was tracking down was known for his studies on 'Old Demonic Rites', in particular those that were used to 'finalize Old Devils' Ascensions'.

Which made sense considering that the Super-Devil Project was tied to creating powerful Old-style Devils through lesser ones. Fascinating, but irrelevant to someone that didn't plan to make use of any Super-Devil in my plans.

What I needed was the cat-eared bundle that I was looking forward to acquiring. Now, the plan I had in mind was very simple and it revolved around the idealization of a 'Sherlock Holmes Deduction' but in Reverse. Instead of a Detective revealing the plot, it would be the 'Criminal' as I would be seen early on as a Kidnapper.

Walburga huffed at the notion of not doing much for the mission beyond keeping watch and being the 'driver' again, but I managed to soothe her upset by going for a first infiltration of the compound and yoinking several papers regarding magical data.

Nothing about Super-Devils, but enough to provide some secret Devil magic for Walburga to play with once at home.

Also, I used this chance to study the mapping of the place and see where everyone was before going for the real power-play. After all, I had to make this a very convincing, compelling and workable situation.

In less than ten minutes, from a relatively calm atmosphere, the entire compound was on alert as the main alarm was activated due to the arrival of an intruder. One of which was currently sitting by the entrance, with several dead guards littering the floor around and a tied-up little Nekoshou of the Silver-haired kind being surprised by the current state of things.

"Shirone!" A relatively younger Kuroka called, causing the tinier cat-girl to call back to her sister while I was happily playing with the hairpin I took from the child.

A seemingly-normal trinket, but actually very important for the little play I had plotted up to this point. I also got the chance of seeing Kuroka's old master and… I kind of saw where her preferences matured from. He wasn't exactly a young man, roughly in his late twenties and with an evil goatee. Dark-haired, piercing violet eyes and a formal tuxedo on. He looked refined, authoritarian and yet, cleverly so, he showed faux concern.

I just could tell through the smell it was fake, that it was an act meant to potentially capitalize on the topic of saving Kuroka's little sis for his plans but… Oh boy, was he fucked the moment he put his eyes on me.

"Greetings! I am glad that my little spectacle drew your attention," I welcomed, but the Naberius guy scowled.

"You're trespassing, Vampire. And release little Shirone, she is under my protection as a relative to one of my peerage's members."

"...Nope," I replied flatly. "See, Nabby, I am not exactly a mere 'vampire'. But you can start apologizing by addressing me as Lord Vladi… or Vladi-sama. Whatever you people like to really call amazing people with a mandate to screw things up."

"Lord… Vladi?" Nabby was a bit surprised, but then scoffed. "Ridiculous. I know that Lord Vladi-"

"Was my father and he did a bit of a naughty thing that saw numerous vampires of our family being shipped to you for experiments in regard to Super-Devils," I interrupted flatly, this time I could see the entire peerage tensing up in shock at this development and I could see that Kuroka was catching up to something a bit more sinister. "So you see, he got caught and executed for being a naughty man. Same for you, Nabby, which is why I am here."

"M-Master, he is… lying, right?"

"Obviously," Nabby rebuked with faltering confidence. "He has nothing to prove that he-"

"What about this?" I questioned, interrupting him again while showing what I found from the hairpin. An USB and one that instantly had the attention of everyone.

"H-How?" Nabby asked with pure shock.

"I had a hunch when I smelled something metallic that didn't feel right with the hairpin. Plus, it's heavier than it's meant to be," I answered readily. "Still, to make it clear to everyone that has yet to catch up, this is an USB containing all data regarding the research on Super-Devils made by the two kitty-cats' daddy."

Kuroka frowned. "What are you going to do with that?"

I grinned and, as I still held it up for everyone to see… I proceeded to crush it.

"NO!" Nabby yelled angrily. "Do you even know what you have done?"

"Let's see… destroyed the sole reason Kuroka and Shirone may end up hunted down by people like you, showed your true colors to the one that you were trying your hardest to charm to your side, and then set your death warrant because, if I am honest, I think the game has gone for long," I replied giddily, turning to Kuroka. "So, what is your opinion on a new workplace where legitimate honesty is in place?"

She was pissed, but gave me an intrigued look. "What job?"

"Kuroka-"

"My future wife, we are still betrothed, is kind of a lonely girl. She is rather kind so I would like for her to have a few childhood friends and someone that can help her while growing up," I remarked, interjecting Nabby again as he tried to exert order. Now he was fuming. "You get to have nice rooms, don't have to fight to show your worth and you get the protection of one of the two most powerful Vampire families at the moment."

"...Deal."

"How dare you-"

"Capital~!" I exclaimed, grinning as I snapped my finger and… things changed in a blink.

Kuroka tensed up as she saw various individuals around her seemingly ready to battle her to stop her from leaving, suddenly dropping dead due to a case of missing head. Meanwhile Shirone had a blindfold on as I decided to protect her innocence.

"W-What is this?"

"I just finished taking care of the naughty people, Shiro-tan. So you may not be up to see the ugly scene," I remarked, turning to Kuroka as she fully gauged how quickly her former comrades got decimated. "So, any questions?"

Her wide yellow eyes were soon on me. "How?"

I grinned, knowing that we were all going to have an amazing time together. Plus, I could finally realize two of the few wishes Valerie had wanted to see realized: new friends and…

Kitties!
