Scathach held up a finger, “First, he is not your son-in-law. He is MINE. Only mine.”
“Huh…?” What nonsense is this woman talking about? Has she become senile? If that man is married to our daughters, he’s our son-in-law too!
“…” Adonis and William will open their mouths in shock. Did this woman just get jealous?
In the eyes of the two men, Scathach’s act of declaring her son-in-law as her own was clearly an act of jealousy.
“…He’s a lucky man…” William’s eyes sparkled for a few seconds when he realized that someone had managed to win Scathach’s affections, and it wasn’t just anyone, it was a man!
“…” Adonis didn’t say anything, but inwardly, he agreed with William’s words.
“Second, he’s at my house now. That should be obvious.” She spoke with a face of disdain.
“…” Natasha nodded and seemed to think for a few seconds, “I want permission to visit your territory.”
“You want?” Scathach raised her eyebrow when she heard Natasha’s tone of command, she didn’t like it at all, and her eyes began to slowly change to blood red.
“Fuck.” When Natasha realized what she said, it was too late.
Bloody pressure left Scathach’s body.
“!!!” Natasha’s whole body felt heavy, she felt difficulty breathing, a feeling of fear covered her body.
‘H-Has she gotten stronger?’ She clearly remembers that she wasn’t so strong back then!
The same was happening with Agnes, who got caught in the crossfire, she couldn’t move.
“You two seem to misunderstand something.” Scathach’s voice sent shivers down both women’s spines.
Crack, Crack!
Her pressure was so intense that the walls, furniture, and everything around it started to break!
“I don’t give a damn if my disciple is your ‘son-in-law’. To me, you don’t mean anything. I just came here because, even though I don’t care about it, my disciple is married to your daughters, and mine.”
Suddenly the pressure coming from her body disappeared.
“….” An uncomfortable silence descended over the place.
Scathach’s eyes returned to normal, and another shock hit the room.
“Y-Your eyes…” Adonis stammered as he pointed at Scathach.
When everyone heard Adonis’ voice, they also looked into Scathach’s eyes, and only now did they notice that her eyes were no longer blood red like she was bloodthirsty!
“Hmm?” Scathach turns her face and looks at Adonis:
“Oh, you are here. I didn’t notice.”
“…” Adonis was speechless, but it wasn’t because Scathach didn’t realize his existence; that was normal for him. Instead, he was speechless because she managed to solve her bloodlust problem.
And if she managed to solve her problem, that means she found someone to replace the husband she killed…
He knows that Scathach’s male standards were very high, and her standards are so unattainable that he doubts there is a man that one day could completely satisfy the requirements to be with the strongest female vampire.
“How did you solve your problem?” He was quite curious now.
Just who is this man she married?
“That is none of your business,” Scathach said.
“…” He was speechless again. Wasn’t she colder than usual? Why is her mood so bad today?
“Darling?” Agnes raised an eyebrow.
“Aren’t you curious?” He looked at Agnes and totally ignored his wife’s gaze.
“I am, but….” Agnes nodded, then added:
“It’s none of our business.”
“Hahaha, glad you understand~” Scathach flashed a cold smile.
“…” The group won’t lie and say they weren’t curious, but they don’t want to provoke Scathach’s ire for something ‘small’ like this.
As much as they are curious… Dying of curiosity.
Agnes and Natasha were a little shocked internally by something else too, without them noticing, Scathach got stronger again, it’s been some time since the two women met with Scathach, and they clearly remember she wasn’t as strong as she is now.
If their memory serves, the last time they spoke to Scathach was when Ruby was kidnapped in the past, and, at the time, Ruby was 3 years old, and currently Ruby is 21, which means…
This monster just got stronger in just 18 years!? This is impossible! The strength of an older vampire doesn’t grow that fast! Something must have happened!
‘Stopping to think, Violet also had a sudden increase in strength…’ Agnes’ eyes sparkled a little.
“Maybe it’s my son-in-law’s fault?” She unknowingly spoke aloud.
“…” Scathach’s smile broke, and she looked coldly at Agnes.
Agnes felt uncomfortable when she saw Scathach’s face, and she quickly changed the subject:
“Scathach, I ask your permission to visit your house. I want to see my daughter’s new husband.”
Scathach’s eyes became more neutral, and then she said, “Okay, I give permission.”
“Eh…?” Was it that easy!? And what was that whole show a few minutes ago!? Agnes was speechless.
Agnes thinks for a moment, and then she understands. ‘Oh, it’s been a few years, and I’ve already forgotten how to treat this woman…’
Scathach’s temper was very different from what she remembered, she is calmer. Normally, she was very intense, and because of that, she forgot the basics of how to treat Scathach.
This is something all vampires should know when encountering Scathach; Be humble, or you’ll get your ass kicked by her. Agnes had completely forgotten about that.
The same happened with Natasha.
“Scathach, can I visit my daughter and her new husband?”
“…” Scathach looked at Natasha, “Yeah, of course, you can.”
A smile threatened to break out of Natasha’s neutral face, but she held back.
“But before that…”
“Luna!” Scathach’s voice echoed through the mansion.
“Yeshhh,” Suddenly, a white-haired Russian maid appeared.
“Were you Sleeping?”
“…I was not.”
“Wipe your mouth first. You’re drooling.” Scathach rolled her eyes.
“!!!” Luna quickly wipes her mouth and looks to Scathach for any order from her.
“Deliver the contracts to these guests.” She pointed to Agnes and Natasha.
“Yes!” Luna disappeared, and a few seconds later, she returned with several golden contracts in hand.
“And us?” the men asked.
Scathach just waves a hand for Luna to hand over the contract to them too.
Right after that, Scathach totally ignored the two men since, in her view, the two men weren’t worth her time.
The white-haired man was only good for being handsome, and the other man had the same purpose as the first man, but unlike the first man who tries to be useful, the other is just a waste of air.
And to make her mood even worse, which is bad since she knows that today is Victor’s date with Violet, the two men reek of talentlessness.
She spent so much time with Victor that she completely forgot that other men aren’t like him.
“… What is it?”
“Hmm?” Coming out of her thoughts, Scathach looks at Agnes:
“Are you blind? Or are you illiterate?”
‘…Okay, her mood isn’t good today, just what happened to her mood, it’s so…dark?’ Agnes thought.
“Why this contract? I just want to see my daughter’s husband.” Natasha spoke.
“Tsk.” Scathach clicked her tongue with visible annoyance.
“Listen. The contract is simple. You must sign and keep all the information you learn from my disciple to yourself, and if this contract is broken, I will know.” Her eyes glittered dangerously.
“And I will pay you a visit~.”
Agnes’ eyes flashed in annoyance, “Scathach… Are you threatening me? Yes, you’re strong, but you can’t fight alone-” She was going to keep saying that Scathach couldn’t fight alone with an entire Clan of Vampire Counts, but she couldn’t continue her words…
“Agnes…” Scathach’s voice came out in a demonic tone that left Agnes completely paralyzed.
“Don’t make my mood worse. Or I promise you, the next words you say will be your death sentence.”
“…” Everyone felt a chill rising in their spines, their bodies froze, they couldn’t move, they swallowed their saliva, in front of her, they just looked like scared children.
Was she that angry? They could see that she was being very serious this time, and they knew that if they teased her any further, she would do what she promised.
‘Master…’ Luna felt her master go back to what she was before she met Victor.
Slowly, the pressure coming off of Scathach’s body began to fade, and as she spoke, she clearly wasn’t in the mood for more bullshit today:
“The contract is simple. Shut the fuck up about my disciple. I don’t want to hear any leaked information about him. By doing that, you can see my son-in-law. It’s simple, right?”
She is very overprotective! That’s what everyone thought.
It is common knowledge that it is quite difficult to find information about the Clan of Scathach, and why? It’s just that the woman herself is very overprotective with her daughters, she hides any kind of information about her daughters from the public, and the Ruby incident made her very paranoid.
And everyone in this room knows she only gives her daughters that kind of treatment! After all, they signed a similar contract when their Clan heirs began to bond with Ruby.
They also understand that Scathach would not allow her daughter to marry someone ‘useless’ or ‘talentless’.
And when they remembered Victor’s fight, they understood that he screamed potential.
The curiosity of the vampires present was once again piqued.
Just who is this man who managed to cause such a strong reaction in this crazy woman? They needed to know! They needed to meet this man!
“…” After a moment of silence, the group signed the contract since they were just too curious to step back now.
“Good.” Scathach flashed a small, cold smile when she saw the group signing the contract.
