My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires

​Chapter 267: Maid and Witch.

”I see, this is definitely something I canʼt make a decision on...” Kaguya spoke in a neutral tone after Selena finished talking about what she came here to do.

”…” Selena just smiled when she finished explaining what she came here to do.

The two women had been talking for two hours now, and in the meantime, Selena had explained everything she wanted to do with the Count himself, and throughout the explanation, sheʼd always had a professional smile.

Of course, during the conversation she had with Kaguya, Selena made a point of making an isolation area for the two women to talk without people intruding on their conversation.

In a way, Kaguya enjoyed talking to Selena.

She managed to have a civil conversation with someone, something that hadnʼt happened in a few years.

How can she say… Is it fresh air? She didnʼt have to deal with crazy people like Scathach or people who didnʼt respond through dialogue but with their fists.

Kaguya could clearly tell that the woman was not lying, and everything she said was true.

Yes… True for them… In this specific case for witches.

Kaguya saw no benefit in accepting the witchesʼ deal since everything the witches were offering her master was something they could get from other witches, yes...

The price her master would pay was greater.

But who was Victor? He was a new count who was responsible for the exploration of this world. Literally, he stank of money… Witches could smell Victorʼs money from thousands of miles away.

Several witches could make huge discounts just for that fact. After all, what Victor was offering was far too ʼdeliciousʼ for these greedy witches.

So there was no need to accept Selenaʼs deal in particular, especially considering she didnʼt trust someone who was the daughter of the witch queen at all.

ʼUnless… The queen or even this woman in front of her did something that prevented their master from doing business with other witches in retaliation for not accepting a proposal coming directly from the witch queenʼs daughter.ʼ

Kaguya was not stupid, she may be a Maid, but she was a Maid who had literally been trained in everything from international politics to how to properly wash a dish. She had spent several years honing these skills all for the sake of becoming a perfect Maid, a Maid of Clan Blank who served Clan Snow.

And this wasnʼt the first time sheʼd dealt with witches either. So she clearly understood that there was more to this plan than Selena was letting on.

ʼAnd those things sheʼs not telling could be something very bad for Master.ʼ Because of this, she couldnʼt make a decision, but if her master were to ask her opinion.

She would reply, ʼRefuse. This ʼcooperationʼ is not worth it.ʼ

”….” The two women were silent.

Each had their own thoughts on this situation.

Selena, in particular, was waiting for Kaguyaʼs reaction. But, to be honest, she clearly understood that the benefits she was talking about for Kaguya were ʼfewʼ, and all witches could offer that to the new count.

But… These were just the initial ʼbenefitsʼ.

She still had three more cards she could use.

Sheʼd been ordered by her own mother to do everything she could to ensure the new Count Alucardʼs cooperation, and when her mother said so...

It just meant one thing.

ʼSheʼs asking me to sell myself! That bitch!ʼ A vein popped in Selenaʼs head as she remembered her motherʼs words.

Yes, no matter what Selena had to do, she must make the new Count of Vampires a new business partner.

Which means she must use any business ʼtacticʼ.

And she might even sell herself, her entire body, to Count Alucard to do as he pleases, and sheʼd have to accept all of his perverted demands for the sake of the contract.

Selena wanted to avoid this outcome at all costs, she didnʼt want to have sex with a vampire, never! She was not a fucking whore!

She was a witch of the highest order!

ʼUghʼ Just thinking about it made her even angrier.

ʼ… But itʼs okay… If it means my sistersʼ survival.ʼ She clenched her fist a little in frustration.

Unlike vampires, and werewolves, witches lacked one thing in particular...

A territory…A great territory.

Yes, they had a ridiculous amount of features. Yes, they had a monopoly on basically the entire market.

But… They still lived in the human world…

They were not the same as werewolves, and vampires, races that had a long history, and territories on other worlds, territories so large they could even be called planets themselves.

Witches were a relatively new faction since they only started to come together around the 15th to 17th century, and the trigger for all of this was…

The infamous witch hunt that took place around this time…

This was the turning point for the elder witches to gather their kindred and help them…

And history proved that this was the best decision possible. The queen of witches, Selenaʼs mother, managed to bring an entire community of suspicious women into a single kingdom with her charisma and strength.

Her ideas of becoming something of a mercenary Witch Kingdom were strange at first, but history proved it worked.

Nowadays, no faction of the supernatural world could live without the witchesʼ products.

After all, they ʼsimplifiedʼ the lives of these beings a lot.

… Of course, there were powerful beings who didnʼt like that, but they didnʼt dare to do anything for fear of retaliation. Witches just had too many connections now, and if any faction attacked, that faction would disappear from the map forever.

… And will probably become specimens of experiments for the witch queen.

Vampires have Nightingale.

Werewolves have their own territory called Samar, the promised land.

A realm of hostile weather, a realm where the sun is always present for 38 hours, a realm that only exists for 4 hours at night, and when night falls, temperatures drop below freezing easily.

The Angels have Paradise.

Demons have Hell.

The gods of mythologies like the Olympians and the Norse have their own Pantheons as well.

… But what about witches?

They had nothing!

They just had a hidden kingdom that was somewhere on Earth... And that kingdom was suffering a population crisis.

Why?

There was literally no more room for new inhabitants, so they needed a place just for themselves.

But... even with all the witchesʼ resources...

This was an extremely difficult task, exploring the cosmos, dimensions, and realms in search of a place for witches was an extremely complicated task.

And it required a ridiculous amount of resources and magic.

You couldnʼt just snap your finger like Clan Alioth, and voila, youʼve found a new world.

Not to mention an absolute fact... Witches were still human, itʼs not just anywhere they could live peacefully.

Yes, they had ways of living longer, they had the magic they do, they could adapt any environment to their liking.

But keeping that kind of magic forever was impossible, and there was no such thing as infinite resources or infinite energy.

Because of this, they needed a territory with conditions so that they could live peacefully.

And of all the realms, the Vampireʼs territory was the most survivable for human life.

If you ignored the monsters, the endless night, and the strangely evolved fruits, Nightingale was basically an almost Earth-like planet.

They just needed to make a few tweaks here and there, and... Voila, theyʼd have new territory, and all this done without spending a massive amount of resources!

Selenaʼs eyes sparkle at the thought of their new kingdom, ʼI can finally have a bigger room! A field of search!! A big and long pool! A barbecue grill!ʼ

”Selena?”

ʼI can have a big bathtub to do my morning baths, Iʼll want a dog too.ʼ The woman was utterly lost in her thoughts.

”Selena!?”

”…Huh?” She woke up from her stupor and looked at Kaguya with a shocked look.
