"Father!" Nero and Ophis pushed open the door and entered with a rumble. They looked around and immediately found Victor sitting in an armchair, reading an ancient-looking book in his hand. "Hmm?" Victor smiled gently at the two girls and said, "My Daughters." Nero and Ophis' faces turned a little red. They had to say that their Father's beauty was breathtaking, and even though they were a little used to it, they were always surprised again whenever they saw Victor in a new outfit or different location. Ophis and Nero didn't exactly know what was going on around them, like Victor's Wives, and they didn't care much either. The only thing they knew was that this new, more 'relaxed' Victor was much better than the previous one, who was always busy. Of course, Nero, as the oldest and most experienced, knew that if she wanted to learn something, she should ask Ruby or any of her Father's Wives. Still, she was always so busy lately with the training that Victor or Scathach gave her that she just didn't have time to worry about it. "Come here. Let's wait for the others to arrive." "Mhm!/Yes, Father!" Nero and Ophis answered simultaneously as they quickly jumped into Victor's lap and began to be pampered by him. "Tell me how your training went," Victor asked. "Mother Scathach is cruel...." Ophis was the first to denounce Scathach brazenly. "..." Nero looked wordlessly at Ophis. It seemed the little girl would do anything to receive her Father's pampering, even throwing her 'mothers' under the bus. Just for that purpose, she didn't hesitate to call Scathach 'Mother', something she had never done before. 'Now that I stop to think about it, she always uses the word 'Mother' when she wants to point out some 'mistake' made by Father's Wives.' Nero had to say that Ophis was as sneaky as a fox. "Oh?" Victor narrowed his eyes a little: "Tell me in detail about your training." He asked nicely. "Mhm." Ophis began explaining how her training went, with Nero stepping in to add more details occasionally. A few minutes passed, and Ophis finished explaining; Victor's reaction was just a gentle smile and caressing his daughters' head: "I'm glad she's not being so hard on you guys." He sighed a little. "..." Nero and Ophis looked at Victor speechlessly: 'Was that not tough?' They wondered if their Father had a very high training standard or if he had gone completely mad. The training they received was more demanding than when their Father trained them! Victor, seeing the reaction of his daughters, just laughed gently: "You guys won't believe it, but she trained Ruby much harder when she was your age." "... Impossible..." Nero and Ophis said simultaneously in disbelief. "There's no way a child could handle that..." Nero muttered. "A normal child? Of course not, but you're not normal kids, just like Ruby wasn't in the past." Victor caressed the heads of the two and continued: "You are my daughters, and as my daughters, the best training is what you will receive, and the best training doesn't come easy." "No pain, no gain. There is no easy way for someone to gain strength." "The proof of these words is that even though you are complaining, you have become much stronger than before, right?" "...Mhm..." The two nodded after thinking a bit about their current Power. Their current Power couldn't even compare to the past; if they were put back into the same danger they had faced in Japan, they were confident they could kill all their attackers. Victor nodded in satisfaction and decided to change the subject: "Are you staying for movie night?" "Yes, we will!" Nero answered for her and Ophis. Victor smiled gently and started talking quietly with his daughters. A few minutes later, the door opened again, and Kaguya, Eve, Roxanne, Bruna, Maria, and Roberta came in wearing more casual clothes. "You look beautiful." Victor wasted no time and quickly praised them. It had been a while since he'd seen the girls in more casual clothing, and it was a really refreshing feeling to see them in different clothes... Although he liked to see them more in Maid outfits or derivatives of the style, even the sexy Maids' dresses. But this 'preference' of his was due to his own personal tastes, and seeing the girls like this was good too. The women smiled gently when they heard what Victor said. Even Roxanne, who spent the most time without a Maid's uniform in the group, smiled when she heard what he said. After all, she knew he was saying that to everyone. "Master-, Medusa wishes to talk to you." Roberta suddenly spoke as she snuck up on Victor. "Mhm, swap with her, please." Victor nodded. Roberta closed her eyes, and the next moment she opened them, the pupils of her eyes narrowed as Roberta's long, ankle-length hair started to come to life and move of its own accord. Medusa in Roberta's body took a deep breath: "Haah, I haven't been out for a while since our copulation act, I think." Cough. "Medusa, there are children here." Ophis and Nero rolled their eyes, along with Medusa and the Maids. "Don't underestimate children these days, Master. The internet has ruined everything for the younger generation." "..." Victor had no words to refute that. After all, he was one of those generations. Even without talking about birds and bees with his mother or at school with the teacher, he had already learned everything on the internet through questionable sites that every living Being, whether they be men or women, entered once in life. Medusa looked carefully at Victor, specifically at his reptilian eyes. 'Now, he will be even more prepared to face those damned Greeks.' Medusa nodded in satisfaction. "I want to train my people. I feel like them sitting still is not acceptable." "Hmm..." Victor thought of the women who were part of Medusa's Race: "Where do you want to train them?" "In the forest that Roxanne made, or in the forest that you made." "...For now, go to the Fairy forest. Soon, I will make a New City. We will live in that place." "Are we leaving Nightingale?" Eve asked curiously. "Not yet, my Wives still have responsibilities here, and we're not at odds with Nightingale either... But eventually, yes, we'll leave." "Why? Why should we leave? Is this not a good place?" Bruna asked curiously. "Two predators cannot live in each other's territory, Bruna," Kaguya said. "Predators...?" Bruna repeated confusedly until she opened her eyes wide and understood what Kaguya was implying: "Oh." "But will Vlad do anything since Victor has become so strong?" Maria asked. "Probably not. He has a lot to lose from a fight with Master, but nobody knows about the future, so it's better for us to be in our own territory where we can control everything," Medusa explained. "And with the new territory, I, Scathach, and Zaladrac can better work on defending the territory," Victor added. Kaguya opened her eyes a little as she understood Victor's intentions: "Master, are you planning to use Runes...?" "Of course I am. I want my territory to be the safest of all. I want to see who will be foolish enough to invade a territory created by a World Tree and protected by Dragon Runes alongside the work of a Master Runesmith." Victor's smile grew. "I bet that individual would suffer a rather sad fate, wouldn't they?" Maria smiled the same way as Victor. "Indeed, they will have a very unfortunate, painful fate~." "I can't wait to see the finished city!" Bruna smiled widely. "I wonder what kind of torture they would go through... I think I will train my people to be torturers; with our skills, that will be a perfect task." Medusa added. "...." Kaguya, Eve, Roxanne, Nero, and Ophis stared blankly at the bunch of grinning sadists. "Anyway, girls. Grab a seat and spread out; the other girls will be here soon." "Okay" "Yes, Master." "Mhm." Confirmation sounds resounded all around, and soon the girls scattered. Since there were no seats next to Victor, no one sat beside him. Victor waited a little longer while he talked and played with Nero and Ophis, then the door opened again. This time only the older women came: Jeanne, Morgana, Agnes, Natashia, Victoria, Aphrodite, and Hestia. "Darling!/Victor!/Husband!" Exclamations were heard all around, and soon some of them jumped toward Victor. "Whoa, calm down, Morgana, Agnes, and Natashia." Victor quickly stopped the three women in the air with his Power. "Do you want to crush Ophis and Nero?" "..." The three women looked at Ophis and Nero, and their enthusiasm fell slightly. Seeing this, Victor lowered them gently with his Power, and soon, they were on their feet again and approached him more' cordially'. "Darling, I missed you..." Agnes commented with the eyes of an abandoned dog. "But didn't we just see each other a few days ago?" Victor asked. "That is still a long time!" Agnes retorted, "I want to be by your side 24 hours a day, 376 days a year!" Victor chuckled gently at Agnes' outburst. The way she obsessed was so cute. "..." Seeing her Father's reaction, Nero couldn't help but think that he was definitely special. She was sure that ordinary men would run away from women like Agnes, but he just smiled and treated it like it was nothing. In the past, she wandered far when she ran away from the laboratory where she was experimented on, and she saw many things, then with the establishment of her as a daughter of Victor... She received many opportunities that she didn't have before. Just because of her name, the Noble Vampires feared her and treated her like a Princess no matter where she went. She started to understand a little bit how Ophis felt now, and to be honest, it was annoying... Although her treatment was better, it was obvious that they were only interested in her because of her last name. In the end, it was all self-interest. Because of this, she became even more closed to outsiders and only interacted with those close to her Father and her Father himself. She'd heard about the duties of Noble Vampires from prestigious Clans, but she'd treated it like it wasn't important to her. She knew her Father wouldn't force her to do anything she didn't want to do. He was the best dad ever! "Ugh. No need to shout, Agnes. I think we already understand that." Natashia suddenly spoke. Agnes turned her gaze to Natashia: "Shut up, Natashia! You were by his side the whole time! You have no opinion here!" "H-huh?" Natashia was taken aback by Agnes' sudden outburst, and looking closely at Agnes, she saw the obvious symptoms, which were obsessive eyes, heavy breathing, and a tense body, symptoms she knew very well. A disease called Horny... Yes, Agnes was horny. "Behave yourself, Agnes. There are children here, and soon there will be guests." Natashia snapped. "What are you-." Natashia approached Agnes and whispered, "Don't worry, the fun things will happen later." "..." This made Agnes calm down completely, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. "Ara, I'm sorry about my manners, Darling~." "...." Everyone couldn't help but wonder how someone could change so quickly with just a few words. She sure was bipolar, wasn't she? Or is it some quirk of the Snow Clan? After all, Violet had reacted the same way in the past. They couldn't tell. Morgana approached Natashia and spoke softly in her ear: "Should we get the rope and the other things...?" Natashia froze briefly; how could she have forgotten those details? "...That's a conducive idea. When the night is over, I'll go get them." "Mhm." Morgana smiled in satisfaction. Victor just smirked. Did these women forget that everyone in the room could hear them? They weren't being discreet! If you desire to keep secrets, use alternative means like he always did! Or speak with just the movement of your lips! 'Wait... Maybe, that was their goal the whole time. They desire to cheer me up...' It's worth noting that Victor was excited about the coming events after the movie ended. "..." Ophis and Nero rolled their eyes again. How could they keep their 'innocence' in this place? Their 'Mothers' were all a bunch of perverts! Of course, they weren't all like that since women like Ruby, Lacus, Kaguya, Jeanne, Sasha, and Haruna were less 'perverted' and avoided saying things like that in front of them. ...Little did they know that the women mentioned were some of the most perverted of the bunch. It's like they say, it's always the quiet ones. Victor looked at Jeanne, Aphrodite, and Hestia: "Only Hestia? Did the others not want to come?" "Goddesses aren't very interested in movies or anything like that. At least the Greek Goddesses aren't." Aphrodite responded. "... Let me guess, if it were an orgy, they would come?" "Yes." Aphrodite did not even hesitate to respond. "...." Victor really wondered if it was okay for that bunch of predators to be out there. 'Well, Aphrodite and Hestia have them on a leash, and they know that if they did something, the punishment they would receive would make them wish for death.' ...
