My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires
Chapter 784: The Awakening Of The 'Evil' Goddess.Chapter 784: The Awakening Of The 'Evil' Goddess.
Victor left the hotel with a completely transformed appearance. The elegant suit he had previously worn was replaced by a modern and relaxed outfit. He wore black jeans, black sneakers with white details and a completely white sweatshirt. To complete his metamorphosis, Victor invoked The Blessing of Aphrodite, The Goddess of Love, to attenuate his Beauty to the common standards of Noble Vampires. Now, he went unnoticed without arousing unconscious attention wherever he went.
He began walking through the streets of Samar while looking around. With each block he passed, his height would decrease, until on the seventh street he passed, his height decreased to 170 CM, just 5 CM shorter than when he was Human.
'Hmm... It's been a while since I felt this short… just like in the past.' Victor thought internally as he turned onto a right street. He stopped at the corner of the street and looked at a public library.
As he walked towards the building, he began giving orders.
[Anna, Bruna, Maria, start Phase 2.]
[Yes, Master.]
[Big Guy and Roberta continue protecting Leona.]
[Don't worry, no one will touch her as long as I'm here], Big Guy spoke.
[Good.]
As soon as he entered the library, he heard Kaguya's voice.
[Master, documents secured.]
[Do we have enough?] Victor asked.
[... Yes, we have much more than enough.] Kaguya's voice sounded quite stunned.
[Oh? Explain more.] Victor spoke.
[Volk had a secret room in the Palace where he kept all his important documents.]
[I see... And how did you find this room?]
[The air vent of the room was irregular; I was able to perceive it thanks to that. It seems Volk recently opened this room, probably to retrieve the documents that would give him advantages over Tasha,] Kaguya explained.
[Hmm...]Victor pondered Kaguya's words for a moment. Meanwhile, he nodded to the librarian and turned into a corridor full of books, starting to look at each book in search of a specific one.
[Keep all the important documents secured. Meanwhile, I want you to bring me the documents involving Volk's children.]
[... There's a problem with that.]
[What?]
[They don't exist.]
[... Don't tell me he didn't even bother to register the names of his children or anything that would reveal their existence?] Victor asked incredulously.
[It's exactly what you say, Master.]
[Talk about being the best father of the year,] Victor scoffed, and suddenly he stopped walking when he found an aged book titled "Khama, The Story of a Leader."
Victor picked up the book and walked over to the librarian.
[Is there no proof of their existence?]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt[Yes, there isn't any.]
Victor narrowed his eyes. 'Did Vlad lie to me?' For a moment, he doubted Vlad, but that thought quickly left his mind when he remembered the evidence of Volk's children's existence.
'Vlad wouldn't do that. After all, he has a lot to lose if he does.' Victor couldn't help but find this situation amusing. Three days ago, Vlad suddenly contacted him and made a proposal.
Initially, Victor wasn't thinking of doing anything with Samar; he was going to let Tasha handle everything while he "guided" her with their nightly conversations.
But everything changed when Vlad contacted him and revealed Volk's plan. Upon learning what Volk was going to do, Victor couldn't stand still. This was a great opportunity to acquire several competent individuals for himself.
Because of that, he decided to cooperate with Vlad in this plan that would effectively give the Noble Vampires total influence over their rival, The Wolves.
[Keep searching, there must be something, a diary, a note, anything that points to the existence of these children,] Victor said.
[Yes, Master. I will let you know if I find anything.]
[Okay.]
Upon reaching the librarian's counter, he handed her the book.
The librarian looked at the book for a few seconds and then took it.
"This is indeed an old book... Are you sure, Sir?" She asked as she scanned the book on the computer.
"Yes. I really enjoy stories about Pyramids."
"Sir, this is not a book about Pyramids..."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes..."
"Hmm, that's a shame. I thought I could learn about the sands of the desert from this book."
The librarian's eyes lit up with understanding, and she quickly stood up from her chair. "Again, this is not a book that teaches about Egypt... If you're interested, I can show you where to find that book."
"Oh? Please do. I would appreciate some recommendations from someone experienced like you."
"Please, follow me," the librarian said.
Victor nodded, leaving the book on the table, and followed the woman who, instead of heading towards the area with the displayed books, was going to the 'VIP' room.
Upon entering the VIP room, an immense variety of books was revealed.
"We have two types of book sections," she pointed to the right side. "The exceptional ones recently made..." Then she pointed to the left side. "And the exotic ones from ancient times."
"Which one would you like?"
"I would like the ancestral ones, stories that are not recorded in books."
"... Very well..." The woman snapped her fingers, and the bookshelves started moving, revealing a door in the middle of the room.
"Enjoy your visit, Nesu." [Literal translation in Ancient Egyptian: King.]
"Oh? You noticed." Victor was sure he hadn't made any mistakes in his disguise.
"Even if you disguise yourself, your intense gaze and presence, I will never forget them in my life."
"... I see... The problem was my expression." Victor focused for a moment, and his intense features softened, making him look more like a normal teenager.
With this change, the feeling of recognition the woman felt disappeared completely.
"Impressive... Even if I saw you now, I wouldn't be able to recognize you."
"Mm. I've spent so much time acting like myself that I sometimes forget not to be too 'intense'."
"You are The Demon King; such an attitude is normal."
Victor raised an eyebrow playfully; this woman was really good with indirect compliments.
"Don't let anyone in after me."
"Yes, no one will enter after you." The woman nodded seriously.
"... Correction, no one should enter until Tasha personally says so."
"Yes, no one should enter until my Goddess personally says so."
Victor felt that this woman was extremely serious and that she needed to relax a bit more.
'Although doing that in this situation is a bit unrealistic.' Victor thought as he walked towards the door.
...
"Demon King... How did you know this place?"
"Did you completely forget that you told me about it before?" Victor spoke as he looked at the woman. Even though she seemed completely fine on the outside, he knew it wasn't the same inside. The sparkle she'd possessed had diminished completely compared to before.
'What a waste.' Victor shook his head internally.
"... Now that I think about it, that did happen, huh," Tasha murmured as she thought about the nights when she and Victor conversed with each other. She remembered mentioning a library she liked a lot and occasionally went to. This library was also a 'safe haven' in case any problems arose for her people and she needed a place to evacuate to.
"Tell me, how is the situation with your people?"
Tasha was slightly surprised internally when she saw that he didn't immediately ask about her well-being.
"My people are being evacuated without any problems. It's taking a bit longer because my people had offspring, and they couldn't react as quickly as their parents, but since they were trained for this from the beginning, they are being efficient."
'Interesting... She wasn't caught completely off guard…' Always have a plan B or C in case everything goes wrong. For someone who became a fallen Goddess, that mindset was deeply ingrained in her mind.
"I see..." When Victor was about to say something, he heard Kaguya's voice.
[Master, I found it.]
Victor perfectly controlled his expressions to prevent himself from smiling.
[What's the evidence?] He asked as he walked towards a chair and sat down with perfect grace and manners.
[A diary written by one of Volk's mistresses.]
No matter how much you tried to hide something, traces would always be left behind. You can't control someone's habits. In the face of a bad situation, people will always seek a safe harbor to feel good, and in this mistress's case, it was a diary recounting her life.
[A perfect job as always, my Beloved Maid.]
Even from afar, Victor could clearly feel Kaguya's sense of satisfaction.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[Please come and deliver the diary to me, and once you hand over the diary, support Anna and the others in the next stage of the plan.]
[Yes, Master.]
Leaning back in the chair and resting his head on his hand, he spoke.
"So, what do you plan to do?"
"... What do you mean?"
"Are you going to reclaim your position of power and usurp Volk's? Or will you be left as you are?"
"... You know, it's at times like this that a man should comfort a woman and make her feel good."
Instead of responding to Tasha's statement, he asked, "Tasha Fenrir, are you so weak that such a small incident like this would make you fall?"
Tasha's eyes narrowed. "I just lost everything I built and learned that my husband never trusted me from the beginning. Can't you show a little consideration?"
Victor scoffed. "Come on, Tasha. You need to do more than that to deceive even yourself." He laughed in amusement.
Tasha naturally looked at Victor, showing no reaction to his provocation.
"From the beginning, you also never trusted Volk, Tasha."
"Your subordinates being prohibited from actively interacting with Volk's Faction, your subordinates growing up with the customs of Ancient Egypt. Not only that, you built various safe zones to evacuate your people in case something happens."
"You're not a family woman, Tasha. You're a Warrior, a Goddess, an Assassin, and a Survivor."
"Superficially, yes. You may have liked him, but you never fully trusted Volk for anything truly important because you know that in this world, there are few individuals who deserve our trust, and you clearly judged that Volk wasn't suitable for your complete trust."
"Why are you being so sentimental now?"
With each sentence from Victor, the smile on the man's face grew predatorily, fully showing his sharp teeth.
"Don't act like you know me, Demon King." Tasha scoffed.
Instead of countering her statement, he asked, "Am I wrong?"
Tasha's silence in response to that question was all the answer Victor needed.
[Master, I'm here.] Kaguya spoke.
[Okay, let's begin the next phase...]
"You are someone who grew up in the snake's nest that is the politics of The Gods of Egypt. You would never entrust the safety of your people and yourself to another person." Victor stood up and walked towards Tasha. During his walk, darkness began to form in his hand, and soon a diary appeared in his hand.
Tasha raised an eyebrow at the diary in Victor's hand, clearly questioning what it was, but Victor didn't answer. He simply handed her the diary.
Thanks to Kaguya's impeccable work, the diary was already marked on the correct page showing Volk's actions.
Tasha took the diary from Victor's hand and read the open page...
The effect was instant. All of Tasha's melancholy disappeared and was replaced by a fire that threatened to burn everything. Her eyes shone with pure hatred, her face distorted completely, and her sharp teeth ground against each other.
Victor disappeared in smoke and appeared behind her, whispering in her ear like an evil Demon inciting her to commit terrible sins.
"Show me, Tasha Fenrir... Show me the Goddess whom even The Gods of Egypt have nicknamed The Monarch of Beasts, a woman so cruel and savage that she would bite the necks of all who provoked her."
"A woman so cunning that even after being so far from her homeland, still has influence there, even over some Lesser Gods."
"I will be watching."
The moment Victor disappeared from Tasha's room, it was as if the leash that held Tasha had disappeared. Her eyes became so cold that they could freeze the North Pole several times over. Her eyes became lifeless as if two emerald-colored black holes had replaced them.
The Goddess once-feared for her cruelty, the so-called evil Goddess, had awoken completely. And she was not happy.
