Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 174: Vampires

"Huh?"

Rosalie furrowed her burrows.

"Don't huh me. You clearly have some ulterior motives and I want to hear it now."

Nix said coldly staring at her eyes.

"Hah, oopsies sorry if I made you angry!"

"I need answers, no apologies," He frowned.

"Ahhh! Okay... I am a vampire as I have already told you that."

"Yes..." He nodded his head and waited for her to continue.

"mhmm, So I don't have ulterior motives. I am from the northern continent where we vampires rule a large portion of land. And I am the queen of our kingdom."

'There is no elegance nor dignity when I think about her actions.'

He thought to himself. He couldn't help but think like that since that was how she behaved. Well, he was not there to witness how she behaved with others.

"Queen?"

He asked.

"Fufu, Questioning my attitude which doesn't suit a queen? Anyway, I was crowned a hundred years ago. Precisely after my father died."

"I am sorry to hear that..."

"It's alright... I am not going to narrate my father's story nor mine. Our race is well versed in astrology and we weren't from this world and reigned supreme in a world called Surealm. It was similar to Empyrean. We were proficient and held the potential to become god ourselves. I mean that's what our ancestors boasted about our race in the records and books they've passed down."

She said with a serious expression and continued.

"I don't know what their reasons were that they fled from that world and entered Empyrean. Which happened thousands of years ago. Since the descending of gods into this land. The western continents that were in our control were devoured by them. Well, the Northern continent is our stronghold but our other colonies were plundered..."

"What does this have to do with me?"

He intervened in an annoyed tone.

"Hmphh! Let me finish first!" She pouted.

"Hah, alright."

"I said those things for you to understand who I am and what type of people we are. You are a part of us now. Either you accept that or not."

'Perhaps Dark Nix shares a past with Vampires? After the change of class, I got from absorbing her blood. My hair turned white.  The Nova manifestation also triggered at our first meeting. These made it more clear that I had something to do with her.'

As he was in his thoughts Rosalie waved her hand to rekindle his interest back to her.

"Ahh Yes?"

He snapped out of his thought and asked.

"Well as I said you are one of us. You still have to indulge with me in order to awaken more of our race's abilities. I just wanted you to know and I believe you wouldn't like to become a blood craving vampire So, I just gave you some features."

"I see. You are not a naive woman, aren't you? You totally have your own plans. As expected of a vampire. I wouldn't ask your age since you might as well be a wise vampire who has seen her share of life and death."

"Are you calling me an old woman now?" She asked angrily.

"I did not say such a word. I am just saying you are hiding the facts. I can say you are a pretty young woman just from your actions. But isn't your acting quite over."

"How amusing!!! Mnhh"

She moaned as she raised her head towards the ceiling while running her hand inside her loincloth.

" "

Nix just grabbed her neck and pinned her on the bed since she seemed to have gone to madness.

"You! I wanna bite you... Honestly, you have such a unique taste. Perhaps it's your soul? I wonder. Haha!"

She smiled baring her sharp fangs glancing at his eyes and neck.

"Ahh Now you are barring your fangs. I did expect you to be devious!"

He said choking her.

"Fufu aren't you too aggressive?"

She smiled and locked her legs around his waist without caring about her neck which was firmly gripped by him.

As he looked at her eyes it glimmered in red showing her lust for blood like a predator.

He smiled and loosened his grip and let her take a bite without restraining her. It seemed like she was controlling her urge until then. That is if his assumption was right. This is a trait or a curse that her race possesses. 

Though Nix was their kind if they were to practically speak his blood and DNA were not compatible like the people in Empyrean to make him a vampire. He will always be a human even though possesses their abilities.

In conclusion, he was a human. So, Rosalie was certainly craving the taste she had last time.

She did not refrain from her craving and slowly inserted her fangs into the artery that flowed inside his neck and began to drink his blood while caressing his hair and pinning him down carefully as she could and slowly embraced him like a treasure she wouldn't slip from her hand.

"Hmm, are you satiated now?"

"Yes..."

She said after retracting her head with a reddened face.

"Okay, then can you get off me?" He asked looking up at her.

"Ahh sorryy!"

She said and moved away from him and sat at the edge of the bed while looking at him with her cheeks flushed red.

"I can understand that you couldn't hold on," Nix said indifferently. 

She smiled at him and began talking.

"Thanks for understanding. As you asked I am 150 years old. So, I have not seen that many live dying like what you'd have assumed. I rarely went hunting and I was crowned when I was fifty. From your point of view, I may seem old but my aging would be equal to Cinzia. To be honest. I thought I could seduce you..."

"That explains. But why would you want to seduce someone like me?"

"Did I not say about the Prophecy?" She asked.

"What's the Prophecy ain't it something about being blind and standing in the top losing everything I hold?"

"Ahh! Yes. A Black masked Egalitarian, Who sees everything impartially with his blind eye. will Stand at the Zenith. Losing everything he holds. This is just part of it."

"Then you have more?" He asked with a surprise.

She nodded her head in agreement and continued.

"Yes, 'A blind man will venture the realm. Hunting for control will set his blind eyes on us.' "

"Us means Vampires?" He questioned with interest.

"Yes. I will continue now. 'Leads our monarch and will challenge the providence.'"

"Monarch means you and providence means gods? ain't This Ironic? Why would I do such a thing."

" 'Because of rage and vengeance' "

She phrased looking at his eyes and continued.

"I think blind implies to your rage. You will seek power and wander lands to sanction redemption to those who were trampled by the whims of destiny after suffering and losing your powers and everything you hold."

"I have already heard this but, the new part in seeking Vampires and leading them to challenge ether. Did it state my win though?"

"No..." She said with a worried expression.

"No? I will die then?' He questioned.

"I don't know..." She fumbled.

"I still don't understand why you sought me though and where you got such a detailed explanation."

"These were prewritten by my ancestors several thousand years ago far before they entered Empyrean. There was this particular line mentioned in there. 'The throne will be empty until a blind man inherits our legacy marrying the queen who reigns in solitude'."

'This sounds like a fantasy story setting'

He thought to himself. The Ridiculous thought was that he himself was inside a fantasy realm.

"I am the first queen to rule over my race and previous rulers were all kings. Meaning this will happen now. Reign in solitude means there wouldn't be any competent original vampires to rule our Brethren which was why the other noble vampires couldn't inherit the throne."

"I understand all these but, how will you know that prophesied blind guy was me and why did you leave your kingdom?"

He asked question after question. 

"I was concerned about my brethren and sought out unable to wait for the prophecy to happen. Will you idly sit inside a castle for hundred years? I couldn't. I went in search of the blind man five years ago and finally gained the privilege to covers with the Omen of doom, Yagavaran. He showed me visions of you and prophesied the same thing."

"That explains... Still, do you really needed to seduce me for such a thing?

"hmm... My brethren wouldn't accept you as a king until you don't marry me."

She said while blushing.

"Ain't that what the prophesy said. But, I don't have the idea of marrying for sure. We can be friends wouldn't that be fine? And I not gonna lose what I hold so, let us drop the talk about that Prophecy Bull shit."

He said indifferently and confidently.
