Chapter 1040: As you wish
From the very beginning, Idan planned to stage a performance in which the Gatekeepers would appear in front of the audience. He wanted their appearance to be explained by the desire of an Ancient Vampire to enjoy the beauty and blood of beautiful women. This would explain why they appeared in front of the members of the Kingdom, and would not raise unnecessary questions.
The brutal killing of Arslan and the Beast only reinforced his legend as an Ancient Vampire.
Arabel in this story played the role of a madly in love and jealous dragoness. Which echoed her true nature a bit, and it was easy for her to play her role.
However, Idan hadn’t considered the reaction of her vampire bloodline. He didn’t expect that all these rumors about vampires preferring the blood of innocent girls would turn out to be true. His own bloodline encouraged him to drink and desecrate the bodies of Milena and Yulaya.
To desecrate their sanctity by turning them into blood — spawned vampires.
At the sight of Idan’s sparkling red eyes full of greedy desire, Milena and Yulaya felt goosebumps run down their backs. Unlike the others, they could clearly feel his gaze on them, which seemed to scan their bodies, making them feel naked in front of him.
Arabel noticed that Idan was acting strangely. Her playful gleam in her eyes turned to a frown, and then to a dangerous twinkle as she looked at Milena and Yulaya.
Realizing that he couldn’t ruin his own performance, Idan smiled with difficulty and looked away in the direction of Nayla and her doppelganger.
“So Nayla didn’t…” Idan stammered and cursed inwardly. “What are you thinking, Idan! You shouldn’t care if someone is innocent.”
“Damn vampire!” he thought. Idan had no idea that being a vampire meant being a tool for determining girls’ innocence.
“Hmm…” His gaze landed on Nayla’s doppelganger. The doppelgangers were different from ordinary creatures: they had no shape of their own, and when they died, they turned into black goo. The doppelgangers had no blood.
“Formless?” said Idan, as if trying to guess something.
Many of those who watched the broadcast did not understand what this meant.
However, there were those who knew the answer. And this word of his became the first clue to guess their true identity.
“Well, it doesn’t matter,” he shook his head. “If you don’t have blood in you, I’m not interested in you.”
In the next instant, several bloody spears pierced into Nayla’s doppelganger’s body, taking her life without any resistance.
Nayla was next in line. She was trembling with fear, as the gaze of Idan’s red eyes seemed to penetrate into her very soul.
“That’s another thing… An innocent maiden,” Idan said, surprising Irene and Nayla herself. “It’s been so long since I last tasted the blood of a virgin.”
“I’m not a virgin! I have a boyfriend!” Nayla wanted to scream, but she restrained herself.
With his pale hands, he lifted her chin to look into her eyes and smiled.
Seeing that he had almost scared her to death, Idan released her and turned his attention back to Milena and Yulai.
His bloodline began to urge him to drink their blood. The two sharp fangs slightly lengthened and began to whine, demanding to pierce into their soft body and drink this red nectar of life. At the same time, it seemed to him that his throat was dry.
“Hmm…” — Idan rubbed his chin thoughtfully, trying to control his emotions aroused by the bloodline.
“Winged ones?” he asked, tilting his head.
Milena and Yulaya widened their eyes upon hearing these words.
“Does he know about the Valkyries?” they both thought at the same time.
“You look very much like my friend’s wife,” Idan suddenly said. “My friend has three wives, two of them are a Dragon and a Vampire, and the third, the main one, was very similar to you winged ones…”
When Idan mentioned his friend, Arabel had to stifle a smile. She immediately realized that he was talking about Nemo. Few of their acquaintances were familiar with this side of Nemo.
She quickly realized that Idan, trying not to arouse suspicion, was leaving clues that would only help his own reveal their true identities.
“Honey, keep an eye on these three,” Idan asked Arabel.
“As you wish,” Arabel replied, approaching Milena, Yulaya, and Nayla with a dangerous smile and a twinkle in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Idan went to his sister. When he saw Irene in an almost helpless and angry state, he felt an irresistible urge to tell her that it was him and that she shouldn’t worry. He wanted to tell her that Arslan was in no pain and died quickly.
However, he understood that he couldn’t take any chances when they were under everyone’s surveillance. Since he and Arabel had decided to hide their true identity, they had to stick to it to the end.
The clues he gave should be enough for Milisa and the others to find out their identity. Of course, this is only possible if Leo was able to somehow share the broadcast with them using his abilities.
“You are certainly beautiful, but…” he had not finished speaking when he heard the sounds of piercing flesh behind him and, turning around, saw a bloody picture.
All three of them — Milena, Yulaya, and Nayla—were killed by precise blows from Arabel’s dragon tail. There were surprise and bewilderment on their faces.
The culprit herself, smiling sweetly, as if expecting praise from him, approached Idan.
“Honey, didn’t I ask you to keep an eye on them?” he asked.
“Well, yes,” — Arabel nodded and came closer.
“Then why did you kill them?” asked Idan, hugging her as soon as she was next to him.
“Why do you need other women when you have me?”—Arabel’s eyes sparkled with a purple-pink luster.
Idan swallowed hard. He couldn’t tell if Arabel was still playing her part or if she was serious.
Something told him that it was both.
“You don’t need other women.”
“You’re mine. Only mine,” and her tail began to move, a rift appeared behind the back of the watching Irene, from which her tail jumped out and pierced Irene’s chest.
“I’m sorry, sister-in-law.”
Irene heard a familiar voice in her thoughts before her gaze was swallowed up by darkness and a notification from her System popped up in front of her.freёweɓnovel.com
[You died at the hands of the Mad Dragon Queen]
Idan tenderly hugged his dragon wife and said with a smile,
“Really, why do I need someone else when I have you?”
Arabel blushed, smiling sweetly.
The blood around them began to move, forming new clots.
“Let’s go back to our castle,” Idan suggested, and together they began to leave. Behind them, the bodies of Irene and the others turned to ashes, and the fire destroyed all traces.
