"So? What were you doing?" Violet crossed her arms as she looked at Sasha, who was hiding the notebook behind her. She had even gone as far as to apply a whole host of Runes to the notebook, and due to the amount of Runes, it wouldn’t be strange if the notebook could be considered a Divine Artifact at this point. "Stop being so insistent! Haven’t you heard about respecting other people’s privacy!?" "... Hmm, that’s true." Violet touched her cheek and then looked at Sasha’s room. "That’s what having our own rooms to ourselves is for." Even if they all slept together in the same room with Victor, it was still essential that they had their own private spaces to store their personal things and decorate them however they wanted. "Right!? So leave it!" "But! This and that are two different matters! If it were anyone else, I would have let this matter go, but it’s different when it’s you who’s involved!" "Why!?" "The way you’re acting is just making me even more curious..." Violet’s eyes sparkled slightly. If Sasha had just said something that satisfied Violet’s curiosity, she would have already left. But the more Sasha tried to hide whatever was behind her, the more curious Violet became. "I don’t want to be an overbearing Sister... Just tell me what you’re doing, and I’ll leave, I promise." "..." Sasha narrowed her eyes at Violet. She didn’t trust this promise at all. It had always been like this ever since they were little. Violet would say one thing and act another. By The Emperor’s love, they’d known each other for over 2,000 years! She wouldn’t fall for Violet’s empty promises! "...Fine, I’m writing a novel called My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires. Now leave." "Umu." Violet nodded and crossed her arms. "That’s new. You’ve never been interested in that kind of stuff before." Instead of leaving, Violet sat on the couch in Sasha’s room and grabbed the glass of cherry juice that had been sitting on the table in front of it. "..." "What? Did you think I was going to make fun of you or something? Please, we’re past poking fun at each other for things like that. Plus, it’s not like we haven’t done things even more shameful than just merely writing a novel." Violet rolled her eyes when she saw Sasha’s suspicious look. Sasha blushed slightly when she heard what Violet said, and intimate memories of her time with Victor flashed through her mind. "Not to mention that it isn’t nearly as shameful as making a hentai." "...A what?" "Hentai," Violet repeated. "Who?" "Who else?" Violet spoke neutrally as she sipped the juice. "...Of course it’s her." There was a reason Pepper was considered the Goddess of Culture by the people of The Empire. "Please tell me she’s at least doing it away from our Daughters." "Of course she is. She may act like a fool, but she isn’t actually one… Well, most of the time." Violet crossed her legs. "So? What’s this novel about?" "...It’s our story with Victor," Sasha spoke slowly, getting over her embarrassment a little. Violet raised an eyebrow in interest. "You wrote a novel about that?" "Yeah..." "Can I see it?" "..." "Oh, come on, it’s a story about us! I’m definitely in the story, right? So what’s wrong with me reading it?" "...Fine." Sasha sighed and handed over the draft she was writing. "I haven’t started writing it in detail yet. I was just throwing out ideas on how to build on them. What’s written there are those ideas." "...Hmm, ’What if, instead of a Vampire, Victor was the Progenitor of The Werewolves’?" Violet read the title of the idea and raised an eyebrow at Sasha. "I mean, you heard Leona’s story. She chose Victor first, and then that incident with us happened, so I thought, ’What if that incident had failed or never happened? And instead of becoming a Vampire, he became a Werewolf?’ I built some ideas based on our personalities and on that premise." "Hmm... I guess it’s an interesting thought experiment. But I doubt things would change as much as you think. After all, I’ve been watching Victor since I was a child. Even if he was a Werewolf, I would still stay with him. Although, our families wouldn’t have accepted him as readily as they did if he were a Werewolf instead of a Vampire... But even if he wasn’t accepted, I’m sure Darling would find a way. I also know that, eventually, he would train with Scathach. After all, the woman likes talent, and Victor shone with talent and potential from the beginning. So, even if he was a Werewolf, she would still train him." "It’s quite worrying when you so casually mention that you stalked him like that." Sasha sighed. "Well, it’s not like it’s anything new," Violet shrugged. Due to her encounter with Victor when she was younger, she had found herself obsessed with the man, and it was because of this obsession that she began to watch him. Reading a little more of Sasha’s notes, Violet narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw that every major event she was involved in had changed, and in it, Sasha had taken her place, while she had ended up as a secondary character. "...Sasha, what is this?" She asked with a glint in her eyes. Sasha coughed lightly and turned her face away: "I mean, it’s just a story, right? It’s not reality; I can have some fun can’t I?" "Uh-huh..." Violet just nodded, not agreeing at all. She continued reading Sasha’s ideas, and apart from the initial events being led by Sasha, most of the events remained the same with only slight changes to them. However, some of Victor’s more ’horrible’ actions were heavily modified to make him seem more ’heroic’ and less ’monstrous’. For example, her plot ideas for the events in Japan when Ophis was kidnapped were not a mass genocide focusing only on those guilty of harming her, but rather a negotiation in which the Youkai and Gods themselves handed over the guilty parties to Victor, and everything was resolved in a more... ’Diplomatic’ way. The more she read, the more irritated she became. "This version of Victor disgusts me! This is not Darling! He is not that much of a pussy! What the hell is diplomacy!? Diplomacy is an iron fist! Diplomacy is the act of casually erasing an entire country from existence! That is the Darling I know! Not this! This heroic, goody-two-shoes disgusts me!" Violet strongly criticized. "...Violet, it’s just an idea. There’s no need to get angry. Not even I would follow a plot like that." Even Sasha found the version of Victor she created not very appealing, but as she said, it was just an idea, one she would not execute. "The very fact that you had this idea in the first place is questionable! Darling is not like that!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎 Violet put the notebook aside on the table, and with her Powers, she created a new one and began to write furiously in the notebook. She was writing so fast that the notebook began to smoke, but nothing was damaged since the notebook was not made of common materials. In less than 2 minutes, she had already written 20 thousand words, a speed that was truly superhuman. "This is Darling!" Violet handed the notebook to Sasha. "..." Sasha looked at the burning notebook for a few seconds, then she looked at Violet’s eyes, which were shining as if flames of determination were lit in them. Sighing due to this ridiculous situation, Sasha took the notebook and began to read. In the notebook, there was a very accurate description of Victor from the ages of 6 to the present day. "...As expected of the oldest stalker..." Sasha muttered as she read everything at high speed. There were things in here that not even she knew! "Call it dedication to my beloved." Violet nodded in satisfaction. "Stalker is a very ugly word." Calming down a bit, Violet reflected on what she had written in the notebook and then said: "The only one who probably knows more about Victor than me is Anna, but I highly doubt that Victor’s personality would change much from when he was a baby to when he was 6." "Now, give it back to me." "..." "Sasha, give me back the notebook." "...No." Sasha held the notebook with both hands and hugged it to her chest. A vein bulged on Violet’s head. This information was not something she was willing to hand out so casually! She only showed it to Sasha because the way Sasha had idealized Victor was utterly wrong! Even if it was a passing idea, idealizing him as a righteous hero only made her want to vomit! Her Husband was too much of a realist to be some kind of idiotic righteous hero! "I promise I will return it! Just remove the Memory Erasing Runes from the notebook, and remove your Order Divinity! I want to remember this information for my novel!" Violet was so possessive of what she knew that when she had created the notebook, she’d enchanted it with Draconic Runes and with the Power of Order, and the moment Sasha let go of the notebook, she would forget all the new details she’d just learned from it. Violet looked dryly at Sasha for a long time. Ten long seconds passed as The Empress stared at Sasha with an expressionless face. Finally, a smile appeared on Violet’s face, and she spoke. "Very well, I will allow it. But only on the condition that if you’re going to write our story, you must narrate the facts correctly! No fanfiction!" What Violet showed Sasha was something that only someone who had observed Victor for a long time would know. The Wives could just ask Victor about his past, and he would happily tell them. But of course, he wouldn’t tell them everything. For example, he wouldn’t tell them that once, when he was around 11, he’d found some questionable +18 magazines and sneakily hid them. He probably didn’t even remember that. But Violet remembered. She remembered it all! These facts were all known to her, she who had always observed him. Not even Anna knew about this! She knew everything about Victor, and when she said ’EVERYTHING’, she meant exactly what the word described. So this was sensitive and very valuable information, which was why Violet put so many protections on it. She wasn’t against showing it to Sasha and letting her keep this information, but she needed her to follow her conditions! "...Ugh, this is tyranny! This is restricting an author’s creative freedom!" "Companies do that all the time; it’s nothing new. Now choose. Do you accept it or not?" Violet narrowed her eyes at Sasha. "...I refuse." Sasha sighed as she handed the notebook to Violet. "Umu." Violet nodded in satisfaction as she took the notebook and immediately erased it from existence. "I don’t want to be a recorder of events. I want to make a romance, and not spicing up the story in my own way is just a big no." "But why, specifically, are you making it about Darling? You could always write a different story, couldn’t you?" "...That’s true, but writing a story is a lot more work than I thought it would be. You have to plan out how to build the world the story is set in with enough detail to make it make it make sense, plan out the characters’ personalities and how each of them interact with each other, create an entire energy system, plan the plot and which direction to take the story in, and on top of all that, you have to make it interesting! There’s just so much work involved!" "...Pepper doesn’t seem to have a problem." "That’s because she’s creating adult content! As long as it’s about a fetish and it’s stimulating, any old plot works! I still can’t believe she’s doing that!" "Well, to each their own, I guess. I don’t judge. At least her hobby is healthier than Lily’s hobby of creative torture." "...Well, that’s true." Sasha shuddered slightly as she remembered the twisted hobby of her Sister, Lilly Elderblood, Daughter of Lucifer and Lilith. Some of her Sisters’ hobbies were quite twisted, like her Demon Sisters’ hobby of burning sinners alive and causing all sorts of suffering to those sinners. Some were normal, like Jeanne’s hobby of gardening and Eleanor’s hobby of reading books. Some hobbies were questionable, for example, Scathach and Victor’s hobby of training. After all, Victor said that if any of the Sisters were around her during it, they would be dragged into said training and suffer in the process. They suffered because of the training, but they became stronger, and usually, after training, they always shared a sweaty, intimate moment... So this hobby was kind of a dividing point between the Family. Some liked it, others didn’t like it, but at the same time did, while others hated it completely. Usually, the ones that hated it completely were the ones who were too lazy to train, like Siena. But no matter how much she complained, she would still be dragged into training. After all, Scathach would not let her daughter weaken, even if that daughter of hers was also the Wife of her Husband. The important thing was that they had something to do other than work in The Empire and help Victor. After all, it was important to have a hobby for yourself, no matter if you were a God or not. "Leaving that aside for a moment, I thought of an idea for a novel." "...Oh? What’s the idea?" "It’s about a man who is destined to be the final boss of his world and his most loyal Maid, who is a Yandere." "...Tell me more." .....
