Abaddon and Isabelle walked awkwardly side by side towards the throne room to receive their special guest.
Before they even left the room, Isabelle had to change her underwear and made Abaddon swear to never speak of this incident again.
It wasn’t really something that he cared about anyway so he of course obliged her in the hope that she would calm down.
Leading to the present were the pair were walking in awkward silence down the long gothic hallway.
“What kind of person is Seras’ mother?” He asked suddenly.
“I thought I told you not to talk to me!”
“You’re being unreasonable. Just answer my question.”
Isabelle huffed as she tried to ignore the man’s voice that had been playing in her brain ever since earlier.
Knowing that this man could make an obedient and very horny slave out of her whenever he wished was incredibly unnerving and she wished he would just go off to rule some other continent.
“Her mother is a very loyal person. So much so that I believe she will be the most difficult of the vampire lords for you to convince.” She replied smugly.
“I do not mind that. ” Abaddon replied honestly.
Needless to say, that was the last answer that Isabelle expected.
Wasn’t this man some kind of power hungry dragon?
Why did he not care about such a large impediment to his plans as this one?
“You have a question?”
“N-No! Shut up!”
“You’re so rude.” Abaddon said with a sigh.
No matter how hard Isabelle tried, she could not figure this man out.
At certain times he seemed to be incredibly domineering and others he was remarkably laid back and passive.
Maybe she should take her nieces advice and observe him passively without any preconceived notions.
When the two pushed open the doors to the throne room, they found a beautiful older vampire woman already waiting for them.
Unlike Seras, her mother was only of average height and build.
However, their genetics were nearly identical when it came to their large breasts and supple behinds.
The woman had snowy white skin, chilling red eyes and dark black hair that was styled in a bun, giving the woman a very professional look.
Wearing a red dress adorned with black diamonds, the woman gave off a unique sense of danger that was different from his wife’s.
While Seras displayed her overwhelming power and prowess openly, her mother’s could not be felt unless you knew what you were looking for.
“You came rather quickly, Kirina.” Isabelle said.
“I will always come when the queen calls.” The woman replied with a polite smile.
It didn’t take long for her eyes to fall on Abaddon and an instant attraction formed.
The woman immediately strode up to him in a manner that was almost predatory.
“So you’re the dragon that has the entire continent in a panic? You certainly know how to leave an impression, don’t you?”
“I suppose you could say that.” Abaddon replied flatly.
A small shiver ran up the spine of the ancient vampire.
‘It’s been quite a while since I’ve tasted a dragon…’ Kirina thought hungrily.
Unfortunately, the more she observed the young man in front of her, the more she began to piece together his identity.
“Those mismatched eyes… and the scent of a demon… might you be this ‘Red Prince’ I’ve heard so much about?”
“I used to be.”
Kirina was growing more and more interested by the second.
Of course she had heard of the fourth Prince of Antares who had been excommunicated from the royal family and had since become a demon lord.
She simply never expected him to look so different from the way he was described.
The rumors did not do him justice at all.
“Red Prince?” Isabelle suddenly asked with a curious expression.
“Fufufu~ Our princess is entertaining a guest and she doesn’t even know his identity? You really have to get out of the castle more often.”
‘I’d be able to get out of this damn castle more often if that bitch sister of mine didn’t shove all her work into my lap!’ Isabelle thought angrily.
Kirina continued to chuckle melodically until a scent that she was all too familiar with wafted into her nose.
At first, she believed she may have been mistaken but after taking a much deeper inhale, she was able to recognize her daughter’s scent wafting off this man’s body in waves.
“Lord… Abaddon, was it? What is your relationship with my daughter?”
“Seras is my wife.” He replied without much thought.
Almost immediately, the look she was giving Abaddon changed into one of suspicion.
“… Are you a lolicon, Lord Abaddon?”
“…I can assure you I have no such perversions.”
“Little wing looks quite different since the last time you’ve seen her, Kirina.” Isabelle revealed. “Both her body and her beauty are on par with even Audrina’s.”
Kirina nodded and finally stopped looking at the dragon like he belonged on some kind of registry.
“I must admit, I am rather surprised. I never thought Seras had any real interest in relationships but I am glad to know that she has found such a capable husband.”
Now instead of looking at Abaddon lustfully, she was carefully analyzing him as if she was trying to figure out what was so special that he could make even Seras submit.
‘I’ve heard that he was strong but is he truly strong enough to gain her acknowledgment even though he’s only evolved once?’
The vampire’s curiosity had been sufficiently ignited and she suddenly took Abaddon’s arm in her own.
“I presume the others have yet to arrive and the queen is still busy? Then if you’ll allow it I would like to take this time to get to know my daughter’s husband.”
Isabelle looked like she was elated to be away from Abaddon for a while and immediately agreed.
Kirina began pulling the young dragon out of the throne room. “Come along, little demon lord. I think it’s time we get better acquainted, don’t you?”
–
Abaddon and Kirina found an empty parlor room and sat down on two opposite couches.
The vampire asked several questions, most of them pertaining to how he and her daughter met while others were about the specifics of their relationship.𝑜𝒱xt.𝒸𝐦
The dragon did not mind answering her questions since he couldn’t feel any sort of malicious or perverted intentions from her and their conversation had actually become rather pleasant.
This was the first time he’d ever heard any sort of civilized conversation with his wives’ parents before and he eventually began to ask her questions of his own.
“Is there a reason why everyone calls Seras ‘little wing’?”
That sudden and unexpected question caused a small smile to from on the face of the bewitching vampire.
“It’s a bit of a long story, are you sure you’d like to hear it?”
When Abaddon nodded, Kirina began to tell the story of Seras’ birth and how she married a dragon.
Surprisingly, Kirina used to be head maid of the castle.
Her high position and relatively easygoing personality made it easy for she and Audrina to form a close relationship, something akin to an older cousin and a younger one.
Almost twenty millennia ago, the dragons still had dealings with other kingdoms and they weren’t nearly as feared as they were today.
The former dragon king came personally to Upyr and he was accompanied by two of his lords, Helios and Hajun.
While attending to the guests, Kirina was rather surprised to see that both of the young dragons had taken an interest in her.
Both Helios and Hajun began trying to court the charming vampire whenever they had business in Upyr, and for a long time she was unsure of which man to choose.
Eventually, she chose Hajun as she could see that Helios had a great love of conquest and as a result, did not have enough room in his heart for her.
The two were soon wed, however due to neither of them wanting to leave their positions, they maintained a stable long distance relationship.
After 10,000 years together, Kirina eventually became pregnant with Seras and the two were elated, as well as Audrina.
When Seras was born, she was quite the celebrity in the castle and everyone would comment on her cute little wings that she had a great difficulty using.
After Seras was born, Hajun pleaded with Kirina to retire and she begrudgingly agreed and took up her current position.
As a stage four evolved and the wife of a very rich dragon, Kirina was one of the most influential women on the continent and as such, her ascent to the position of vampire lord was rather rapid and easily accepted.
Abaddon felt like he’d just been let in on a monumental secret.
He didn’t know Seras was the child of Hajun, and he didn’t think anyone else knew either.
Seras’ own background was a mystery to the people of Antares, as one day she simply showed up in the army and began decimating battlefields left and right.
‘I should ask more about her past when she wakes up… little wing… how cute.’ Abaddon thought with a small smile.
Kirina felt like she was going to have a nosebleed just from the sight of this seemingly unfeeling young man suddenly smiling fondly.
The less you see something, the more special it becomes.
And because Abaddon practically never smiles in the company of anyone other than his family, the few people who have actually been allowed to witness such a spectacle would never be able to forget it for the rest of their lives.
‘To think that talking about my daughter would put a smile like that on his face… she’s chosen well.’ Kirina thought in approval.
“How did Seras end up in Antares?” Abaddon suddenly asked.
Kirina however merely shook her head. “I’ve told you that long story, so now you tell me something.”
The seductive woman leaned forward, exposing her breasts that were on the verge of popping out of her dress.
“Is there a reason why I can smell the Queen all over your body, as well as my daughter? And does it have anything to do with the fact that the vampire lords have been called to assemble for the first time since King Dagon disappeared?”
Abaddon began to look at the woman in front of him in a new light.
This woman was smart, very much so and she seemed to be equally calculating.
Even if she didn’t know exactly what the relationship was between he and Audrina, she knew they had more than a normal connection.
As Abaddon opened his mouth to speak, the eyes of the vampire went as wide as saucers as she stared at the man in front of her in shock.
“What… did you just say?”
