My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires

Chapter 48: Ruby returns home.

After winning over two spies who have questionable competence, Ruby warned the vampires that they were Violetʼs servants to protect Victorʼs mother and father. She assured them that if anything happened to Victorʼs parents, they wouldnʼt have a peaceful death. Soon after that, she returned to the basement of Victorʼs house.

”Natália, is everything ready?” She asked, entering the room.

Natalia, who was standing in front of a door, said, ”Yes, everything is ready, Lady Ruby... Oh, youʼre back,” She looked at Luna.

”Yes, Iʼm back,” Luna smiled at Natalia, she looks at the Maid who was next to Natalia, ”Oh? So itʼs you...”

By looking at the womanʼs characteristics, she can instantly deduce who the woman was.

”Yes, Yes. The hunter who killed the vampires, the great villain of the story.” Maria spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Ruby narrows her eyes a little when she hears Mariaʼs words, she looks at the Maid, focusing her attention on Mariaʼs lifeless eyes, and notices something; ʼshe gave up on resisting, huh?ʼ

”A piece of advice. I suggest you donʼt say that in front of Sasha,” Ruby warned.

”Yes, I know.” She nodded, ”I gave up fighting, but I donʼt want to die being tortured,” she sighed at the end.

”…” Ruby was speechless. What happened in the time she was gone? She looks at Natalia:

”What happened to her?”

”Well... I had a little talk with her; I wanted to put her to work, after all. She was basically a parasite that lay around in a catatonic state... And I unintentionally said that she or that hunter from the church would die anyway.”

”... You didnʼt lie... Itʼs better to tell the truth than to feed a lie and raise false hopes.”

”...” Natalia nodded in agreement.

Luna approached Maria and poked Mariaʼs face with her finger.

”What are you doing?” Maria asked.

”Iʼm just curious... What are you?” Luna asked.

”Huh?” Maria didnʼt understand what she meant.

”Iʼm a leech, right? Why are you asking the obvious?”

”...Hmm, you donʼt look like a Vampire to me?” She spoke as she looked Maria up and down as if assessing, ”You look like a dead human to me.”

”Arenʼt vampires dead?”

”Itʼs not that; you look something like a vampire but defective.” Luna said, ”At least thatʼs how I feel looking at you.”

Maria opens her eyes a little, and soon she remembers Sashaʼs words saying she was going to be a defective vampire.

”According to the words of my-...” She bit her lip, she didnʼt want to say the word, but in the end, she had no choice, ”Master... Iʼm a defective vampire.”

”Sasha did the ritual without the necessary materials,” Rubyʼs face showed a slight annoyance, ”What was that woman thinking?”

”She wasnʼt thinking about anything, she just wanted revenge,” Natalia said.

”...” Ruby agreed with Nataliaʼs reasoning.

ʼI hope this doesnʼt get out of hand, or Iʼll have to kill this woman; the race she has become is a hard curse to be exterminated if left unchecked.ʼ Ruby thought.

Feeling a bad feeling about this, Maria asked Ruby, ”What do you mean? What have I become...?”

Luna looked at her master curiously.

”…” Ruby was silent.

”You became a Ghoul,” Natalia spoke for Ruby.

”Ghoul...?” Maria tries to remember the church records, ”Ghoul, a vampire subspecies, the failed result of a vampire, they were used in the past as soldiers in war.”

”... Did I become that?”

”Yes.” Ruby continued.

”…” Maria didnʼt know what to say, she didnʼt really understand the Ghouls. But, from the reaction of the vampires around her, she somehow feels she was in a much worse situation than she imagined.

”Ghoul: A subspecies of vampires, the failed result of a vampire, they were often used in warfare as cannon fodder,” Natalia explained.

”According to my mother, vampires at the time used ghouls as a biological weapon. After all, you only need one bite or scratch from this creature, and you become one of them. So vampires usually threw a ghoul into town and expected that in less than two days, the Ghouls would destroy the entire city if they werenʼt exterminated.”

”...Isnʼt that like the zombies in the movies?” Luna asked.

”Itʼs similar, at least in the way they propagate fast,” Natalia said, she looks at Maria and explains, ”Seeing that you are still conscious, you must have become a Ghoul King, a kind of leader who is able to control them.”

”…great…just great…” She sighed at the end.

”Sasha is really vindictive, she chose the worst punishment a woman can have...”

”Huh?” Maria looked at Ruby, and she explained everything with a small cold smile on her face:

”It wonʼt happen now because youʼve just ʼdiedʼ, but eventually your skin will start to rot, youʼll eventually start to forget about things, and slowly, youʼll lose your true self.”

”In the end, youʼll just become a beast whose only pleasure is killing and multiplying like a virus.”

”...” Mariaʼs face darkened, she bit her lip and clenched her fist tightly. Her body was visibly shaking, she lowered her head, and small tears started to fall from her face. ”This is very cruel…” She spoke in a low voice.

But since everyone in the room had supernatural ears, everyone could hear her.

”This is the consequence of your actions and also the result of your weakness,” Ruby spoke coldly.

”Indeed. If she was strong enough to kill Sasha, this wouldnʼt have happened.”

”…” Maria said nothing.

Ruby turns her face away and starts walking towards the door, ”...But if she killed Sasha, her fate would be worse than becoming something like a Ghoul... Trust me, there are far worse fates than the one you are suffering now.”

When Ruby grabs the doorknob, she turns her face and looks at Maria, who made a sudden movement!

Maria ran towards the kitchen that was near the bedroom, and took a knife and tried to pierce her head, she was trying to kill herself.

”... Itʼs useless,” Ruby said as she looked at the knife that was inches from piercing Mariaʼs eye, ”The masterʼs orders are absolute. If Sasha doesnʼt allow it, you canʼt kill yourself.”

”Fuck!” Maria throws the knife to the ground.

”...” Luna and Natalia just looked at everything with cold, disinterested eyes; they didnʼt care a bit about Maria.

”Is the pointless joke over? Letʼs go back now; I need to see my Darling~” Ruby flashed a small affectionate smile.

...

Passing through the portal, Ruby finds herself in her personal room.

”My room…” She looks around and realizes that nothing has changed since she left the house.

”Oh?” Hearing a surprised voice, Ruby looks towards the voice and sees her mother:

”Mother!”

”Daughter, youʼve finally come back; I was wondering if I would have to kidnap you too.” Scathach exhibited a loving little smile.

Hearing what her mother said, Ruby sighed, ”Where are my sisters?”

”Siena is at work, Pepper is sleeping, and Lacus is sleeping too.”

”Hmm?”

”Siena and Lacus, I understand... But why is Pepper sleeping too?”

”I do not know? Maybe she got tired from training Victor?” Scathach spoke like it didnʼt matter much then, she looked at Luna, and her eyes lit up, ”Is everything ready?” She asked with a small smile on her face.

”Yes, whatever Countess Scathach asked me to do, Iʼm done,” Luna spoke in a respectful tone.

”Good. Good!”

Scathach canʼt help but smile a little more, she canʼt wait for three days to pass soon!

Ruby sighed inwardly when she saw her motherʼs interest in Victor; ʼDarling will be left with eternal scars after this training.ʼ

”Luna, this is my house; I want you to treat them like my guests,” Ruby said while pointing to Natalia and Maria.

”Hmm, even the Ghoul?” Luna asked to be sure.

”Donʼt call her that, she has a name, and yes... Even her.” Ruby spoke.

”As expected from Lady Ruby, you are very kind!”

Ruby looked at Luna, ”Wrong, Iʼm not nice; thatʼs just basic etiquette.”

”Yes, I know!” Luna smiled with a smile that said, ʼI understand everything!ʼ

”No, you donʼt understand” Ruby rolled her eyes and explained, ”Maria is Sashaʼs problem; itʼs my friend who should solve this problem. Iʼll only get involved if she asks for help, and since she didnʼt, thatʼs not my problem yet.”

”Yes! As expected from Lady Ruby! You have a kind heart!” Luna flashed a smug smile.

”...” Ruby looked at Luna with a tired expression.

”Forget it,” Ruby gave up.

”Come, daughter, letʼs talk” Seeing that the conversation ended, Scathach spoke to Ruby, then she started walking towards the exit of the room.

”Okay,” Ruby nodded and started to follow her mother, she looked at Luna for a moment with a face that said, ʼdo your jobʼ.

Luna looked at Natalia and Maria, ”Come on; Iʼll accompany you two to the personal rooms.”

”Pass,” Natalia held up her hand, saying.

”Hmm?” Luna looked at Natalia curiously.

Natalia explained, ”I went back to Nightingale, my work as a Maid is temporarily stopped until my master Violet leaves this town, so Iʼm on vacation~.”

”... Envy~” Luna commented, she wanted a vacation too, but due to the mistake she made a few days ago, she thinks itʼs going to be difficult for her to get a vacation.

Natalia flashed a small smile when she heard what Luna said, she walked towards Rubyʼs wardrobe, then snapped her fingers.

She opens Rubyʼs wardrobe and sees that the interior of the wardrobe has changed to a portal, she looks at Luna and says, ”Iʼm going to go back to my clan, and enjoy my vacation days, seeya~.”

Soon she goes through the portal, and the moment she goes through the portal, the portal is closed.

”…Now that Iʼve stopped to think about it, isnʼt she a human? What is a human doing in the vampire world?” Maria asked.

”Hmm? That is not so uncommon; humans can always come to this world at the invitation of noble families. Normally, humans of high status in society are the guests... and that womanʼs family is just very special; they are direct servants of the king of vampires himself.”

”...” Maria looks at Luna with a bit of shock, she never thought Natalia would have such a deep background, she thinks a bit about what she heard in the past when Victor was kidnapped, ”Clan Alioth, huh?”

”Oh? How do you know that?”

”Iʼve heard Master talking in the past,” Maria replied.

”Oh...” Soon her face darkened a little, ”Youʼre not supposed to know that woman is part of the Clan who is the direct servant of the king...”

”...” Maria was speechless when she heard Luna.

”...Is this supposed to be a secret?” Maria asked.

”I do not know...?” She spoke doubtfully, ”I think so? But seeing Mariaʼs ability, everyone in the vampire world will associate her with that Clanʼs servant... Only ordinary humans shouldnʼt know anything.”

”...So I think itʼs okay? Iʼm not a human anymore; Iʼve become ... that.” She said the last part in disgust.

”... Make sense,” Luna said, and soon dropped the subject, she started walking towards the exit, ”Come on, Iʼll show you to your room.”

”Okay.”
