Victor rarely solved domestic problems. Unless his presence was very necessary, or he decided to intervene, as in the case of his Daughters, the duty to solve these types of problems usually fell to his Wives. And the main ones in charge of all these domestic matters were Anna and Violet. Anna dealt with domestic matters most of the time, while Violet dealt with both the internal affairs, as well as the interests of The Empire itself. "Due to this neglect, before I knew it, my mother was becoming more and more attracted to me than her own husband. The Vampire transformation boosts all kinds of feelings to levels hundreds of times more compared to what they were as Humans. We are emotional Beings. We have strong instincts, as I explained, but the existing feelings are also amplified." "These desires Anna had for me had already existed from the moment she saw my new appearance as a Vampire and the way I had been dealing with things around her... Anna likes a domineering man who imposes his presence but isn’t a jerk about it." "Those feelings were always there, hidden and dormant. That’s why she liked my father in the past, and I was like my father but turned up to 11? I guess." Victor laughed lightly. "And my father was already lusting after other women. Sometimes, he would even look at my Wives, but due to his instinctive fear of me, knowing that I was superior to him in every way, he went to look elsewhere, even if he subconsciously thought about my Wives." "Again, those feelings were hidden, but the Vampire transformation brought all their hidden desires to the surface." "..." Ariel continued to listen in silence as she realized that this conversation was more about him venting than explaining a point to her. "Regardless of the reasons for the two, I am not an animal that does not know how to control itself, so I put the two in their place." The image showed Victor reprimanding the two, and putting the two to train with Hilda to control their instincts. "That problem was solved back then, and it should’ve been completely settled. But everything went wrong again when I became the Progenitor of The Blood Dragons, a Race that perfectly combined True Dragons and Noble Vampires." "We have all the advantages of True Dragons and Noble Vampires, but we also have their drawbacks. Most of the Vampyric weaknesses were gone due to the natural robustness of the Dragon Body, and an Elder Dragon like me will know how to get around our greatest vulnerabilities easily with either equipment or Divinities. But there is one weakness that remained: the amplification of our emotions and desires." "If before, our emotions were hundreds of times more intense when compared to Humans, now our emotions are thousands of times worse. Dragons have no sense of self-control in their early stages, and our inhibitions to do the things we want to do are almost non-existent." "Our thought process works in a way that says: we think, so thus we do." "Because I had become a mix of two superior and desirable Races, as well as a Progenitor, my mere presence became unbearable for Anna. At that time, Anna and Leon themselves were no longer talking to each other. Even if she controlled herself and tried not to think about it, her eyes would unconsciously go to me, and Leon instinctively looked for ’more’ out there." "Vampires are Beings who like to make Harems after all." "In the end, the damage was already done." Victor narrated everything in a matter-of-fact tone as if it were a story from a book, even if it was his own story. "... And so, I decided that we needed to train. I had already decided to give my Bloodline to my Wives, but I knew that the rest of them would not adapt as easily as I, or my Wives with very good self-control like Jeanne, Scathach, Rose, etc." "So, we stayed in this Personal World for 2000 years." "...What?" Ariel opened her eyes wide. Continuing with his practical tone, he narrated: "In those 2000 years, I didn’t let my Wives know that so much time had passed since some of them still held Human perspectives of Time, and I didn’t want them to go crazy. At the time, they were dealing with their change of Race and the feelings involved with that... so we engaged in numerous love affairs." The image of Victor having sex all over the old mansion was shown in every room, everywhere, sometimes with many different Wives, and sometimes all together in the bedroom. "It took almost a millennium for them to get used to it completely. Of course, our love affairs would not be without consequences. I do not use protection, and I was not concerned about having children or preventing them." "So nature took its course..." Victor watched gently this time as the births of his Daughters took place, and his entire presence changed. What was once a comfortable presence changed to a loving presence that made Ariel’s heart twist at the look he was giving the image. She knew she would never forget that expression of his; it was firmly imprinted in her mind now. "Some of them got pregnant in the first 100 years, and a few hundred years later, they had our Daughters." "And the discovery of their pregnancy was the event that triggered Anna, who, until then, had only been listening to our acts from the outside. Of course, I did not refuse." "Time passed, and not only was Anna triggered, but the rest of them were as well. Thus, we began to ’perform’ our ’acts’ with the intention of getting them pregnant now. The first 1800 years after I saw my Daughters being born and growing up were some of the happiest years of my life..." "Because we are such emotional Beings, our Family has a strict education program so that actions that I have done in the past will not be committed in the future with my Daughters." Most Dragon Hatchlings did not leave their nest until they had at least very precise control over their emotions, and if they did leave, they left accompanied by their Mother and several of Victor’s subordinates watching. Victor smiled slightly. "I ended up going off the rails with my story, but the example still stands, and the lesson remains the same." "Love can be broken. It is something very precious and fragile for most Beings." "..." Ariel nodded in understanding. The circumstances he explained about himself gave a good insight into the lesson he was trying to teach her, but she couldn’t help but be curious. "You really don’t regret it? ...I know that circumstances kind of led to this, but do you really not regret overturning your Family?" "Overturning is an exaggerated word... I still talk to my father, not as often as before, but we still talk. Being an adult means recognizing our mistakes. That’s what he taught me. He knows very well that no single person was to blame and that we all shared some fault in the way things turned out, the lion’s share going to me. After all, I was the one who made them turn into something non-human." "...Answering your question... Yes, I really don’t regret it. In this crazy world, Power is freedom. I can do whatever I want today because you all fear me." "..." Ariel couldn’t help but agree with him. She was in this situation because her father couldn’t do anything to Victor if he chose to do something against The Heavenly Father. The Emperor’s Power was just that immense. "And because I understood this fact from the moment I first stepped foot in Nightingale, I sought to strengthen myself. I saw the consequences for those who had no Power for themselves several times over the course of my existence. And thus, I told myself that I would not allow myself to end up in that situation. I do not like losing, after all." "These thoughts were reinforced by Scathach and by my Blood in the past, The Blood of The Night King, The Blood of The Progenitor," Victor remembered that in the past, his obsession with strengthening himself bordered on insanity, but he never deviated from the path or took an easy route. After all, he knew that the key to becoming stronger was always with him. Self-improvement, discipline, constant self-mutilating training, talent, luck, and an immense desire to become stronger, to not be on the weak side of a scale. All these things drove him. "So, yes. I do not regret it... I did not want to lose my parents to old age. I did not want to be separated from them early, but I also did not want them to die at the hands of other Beings." "It’s better for them to be separated and near me, than for them to be dead with their Souls divided by the Primordial System." "..." Ariel swallowed hard when she saw Victor’s possessiveness reflected on his face. ’God of Yanderes, huh.’ That meant that whatever he liked, he would cling to it like a mad dog. Normally, this would drive people away. But Victor had charisma, looks, was an excellent talker, and possessed genuine feelings. These factors all made people like him and willingly fall under his care... She was one of those examples, and she came to want this attention for herself, too, especially when she saw the care he showed to his other Wives. "Love is fragile and can be easily broken... But there is a way to strengthen it to abnormal levels." "...What are those ways?" Ariel asked curiously. Victor showed a small smile. "Turn your partner into the same thing you are." Ariel’s lips trembled slightly, and she said: "...Let me guess, turn your partner into a Yandere?" "Exactly." "..." "Love is fragile and precious, but it can also be invulnerable and precious that even something like a change in physical condition won’t get in the way." "The proof of that is myself. Even after my Wives changed Races several times, they didn’t go out and look for another." "That’s because you’re very exceptional." "That’s true, but if a man or woman ends up not being able to keep their mate for themselves, it’s just a reflection of their ability. A skill issue, so to speak." Look at Victor. The first thing he did in Nightingale when he had the chance was completely eliminate any and all rivals, killing off all of Violet, Sasha, and Ruby’s former suitors. These actions were slow, starting from the events when some assassins attacked his Family, and he and Scathach went to deal with them. And it ended the day Victor ’cleansed’ The Snow Clan. Of course, Violet also did the same with the women, but because Victor was who he was, she had to stop doing that, or it would weaken the Vampires too much in the past, so she simply subjugated them all with her Clan. "All is fair in love, and it truly is like a war. It’s okay to eliminate, erase, and sabotage the enemy, but you must always be aware of the final prize." Victor gently caressed Ariel’s back. "You can’t let her or him hate you if you are too puritanical, like those selfless saints who like to sacrifice themselves for the good of others. You can’t let them find out about your deeds, and if they find out, you have to make them understand that you did all this to protect them. Give proof that the people you killed were trying to use them." "Corrupt them completely until your conquest is entirely yours, but don’t just stop there, don’t get lazy. Show them that you care, show them your love, show them your dedication, but always observe the other’s personality so as not to overdo it. Balance is essential, as is your performance in bed." "..." Ariel gasped as she looked into Victor’s eyes, swirling with desire. He was just caressing her head and body, but this heavy atmosphere, the intensity of his eyes, and his words were leaving her breathless with desire. What a great Angel she was... "Adapt your tactics, don’t be predictable, always eliminate the competition. But at the same time, don’t lose sight of the general situation of the world, and don’t forget about your self-improvement. After all, without strength, someone will eventually come along to try and steal your lover by force. Power is the basis of everything. You must be strong enough to protect them. Be patient, and repeat this over and over again, and before you know it..." "You’ll have raised another flag and a loyal partner who would exterminate an entire planet for you. That’s the kind of commitment I like. I don’t want something normal. Normal can always be corrupted easily, like how modern Humans began to jump from partner to partner as easily as if they were changing clothes, at least, before the Demonic Invasion happened." "...I don’t think that’s the kind of advice you’d usually get from a God of Love." She spoke with difficulty but still maintained the poise in her voice. "Because it’s not... I’m the God of Yanderes, not the God of Love. I’m the one who corrupted the Goddess of Love to be mine." "I don’t love you… But I will learn to love you. I will discover everything about you, every bit of your personality, and I will love each and every ounce of it. I will make you mine." "…D-Do you think that will make me love you?" She asked with a trembling voice, feigning at being stubborn, a show of resistance to not come off as excited as she felt. After all, she was currently feeling very excited, very needy for attention, but also a little confused. Her emotional state was a mess, but one thing was certain. She was full of desires! "If you don’t love me like my other Wives do in our first year together, I will make you love me in the next 500… If you don’t love me in 500 years, you will love me in 1000. If 1000 isn’t enough… a million years will be." He gently lifted her face and approached her: "Time, my darling, is something I have plenty of right now." Ariel swallowed hard, her heart beating fast as the weight of his words made her a little afraid, but it lit her fire even more. She closed her eyes and let him kiss her. The moment their lips touched, a dome of Time covered Victor’s room, making Time run slower here. He also made a conscious clone of himself appear in the garden, away from the influence of the Time Dilation. The clone walked towards the furniture in the garden, sat down, and began to drink the apple juice that was previously on his table. Although he wanted to focus completely on Ariel, he could not put his duties aside, especially at such an important time as now. Therefore, he left a conscious clone of himself so that if something happened or needed his attention, he would be ready to act. Rising into the air while holding her butt, Victor’s eyes shone, those crimson, violet eyes looking directly into the Angel’s pure eyes: "I will make you mine." "Hmm~" .....
