My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires

Chapter 1115: Old Friends.

In the Imperial Capital, atop a skyscraper, a man was standing on the head of a gargoyle.

ʼPeople with Power say that Power corrupts. I believe they are wrong. Power only shows the true face that everyone hides. Do you really want to know what a person is like? Give Power to that person and observe them. Iʼd bet that, 90% of the time, that person would become a selfish, deviant person who would harm everything and everyone. After all, it was easier to do evil than to do good.

8% would likely be typically good while committing minor selfish acts. Usually, these people had very firm morals, while the remaining 2%... They were made up of people who would not change their essence.

My friend, Victor Walker... Or should I call him Victor Elderblood now? He is a person like that; he is part of the 2%.

He has never changed. His actions were always the same, repaying violence with violence and kindness with kindness. This has been his philosophy ever since the first time Iʼd met him. When he became a Supernatural creature, he only expanded his reach. After all, there was a limit to the actions a sick 21-year-old man could take. But as a Progenitor Vampire, those limits simply disappeared.

There was a Japanese saying that I really like: Humans have three masks. One mask you showed to everyone. This was the mask that society had imposed on you. The second mask was what you only showed to people you trust, the kind for company among close friends and family. The third mask was something that only you knew: your deepest thoughts and dark desires. This mask you didnʼt show to anyone.

”... Are you still using the gargoyle? I want to use it to have philosophical thoughts, too.”

”....” Andrew turned his head and saw Fred and Edward standing there, forming a line to use the gargoyle he was using.

As always, Fred had that annoying smile, and Edward had a stoic expression, broken only by the small smile that played on his lips.

”My friend.” Andrew laughed, turned, raised his arm towards Fred, and gave a powerful handshake that caused a small rumble around them.

”Ouch, ouch, youʼre stronger now,” Andrew said playfully.

”Perks of being a Daywalker, I suppose.” Fred laughed.

”How envious.” Out of all his friends, he was the only one still Human.

”And you, Edward, how is the life of the Lykos Clan Leader going? I heard you were going to marry your aunt? What was her name again... Hmm, Oh, yes, Bellatrix.”

”What? Heʼs part of the Black family, and I only found out now!?” Fred said in shock and then looked at Edward with an irritating smile: ”But as expected of the Blacks, theyʼre already practicing incest with each other.”

Veins bulged on Edwardʼs head. ”It seems your level of assholery has grown exponentially, Fred.”

”Thatʼs what happens when you live with a Noble Vampire who thinks like me.” Fred nodded in satisfaction. Since receiving The Emperorʼs ʼBlessingʼ, his wifeʼs family had practically been kissing the ground he walked on, a complete change from what he was used to.

Although, he wasnʼt complaining, and neither was his wife. It was good to live in peace after all.

”Oh, yes, you married a Vampire, huh,” Edward said.

”Yes.” Fred nodded in satisfaction. He never thought he would get married in the old world. After all, it was the old world; you couldnʼt trust anyone, especially women. A good example of this was Andrew. The playboy used to go around sleeping with married women easily. Despite being a flirt, he didnʼt force women. In other words, they made the decision to cheat on their partners themselves. This only proved that something like ʼtrust between couplesʼ didnʼt exist.

”Do you plan on having a harem, Fred?” Andrew asked.

”Nah, having a harem is every manʼs dream, but in reality, itʼs a pain to manage, and I donʼt have that Yandere Rizz that Victor has, nor do I have enough stamina to deal with more Vampires.”

”Vampires? I was talking about other Races.” Andrew said.

”Thatʼs even worse. Despite The Empire banning racism, there are still many Races that hate each other. They just donʼt show it on the surface for fear of The Empireʼs wrath, but exchanging insults in secret is common.” Fred explained. ”Iʼm sure that if I decided to take a Witch, Werewolf, or any Species as another wife, my wife would kill me. Sheʼs very possessive.” řＡΝ𝙤₿Ε𝓢

”Iʼm not complaining, though. It just proves that she loves me, and not everyone is like Victor, capable of taming several yanderes.”

”Although, youʼre not trying either, from what I can tell... The Fred I know, who casually jumps off buildings, the unparalleled genius, would definitely find a solution to the problem if he wanted one.” Andrew pointed out.

Fred laughed. ”I could easily find a solution, something like a political marriage, or something else, but Iʼm not interested. The prerequisite for me to have a relationship with someone is if that person has the same tastes as me, and in this new world, itʼs hard to find anyone remotely similar.”

”...Itʼs not as hard as you think, after all, we have the Goddesses of Culture on our side,” Andrew said.

”Goddesses of Culture? Whatʼs that?” Fred asked.

”You donʼt know?” Edward raised an eyebrow. ”Even I, who reside on another planet, know about that.”

”Know what? Stop stalling and tell me! Iʼve barely had time to do anything these days due to internal problems. Being an adult sucks.”

”Itʼs better to just show you.” Andrew put his hand on his wrist, and soon, a hologram appeared in front of the three men, displaying the appearance of Pepper and Sienna.

The two were in their ʼEmperorʼs Wivesʼ or ʼGoddess Forms, standing 4.70 meters tall, with horns, eyes, and Dragon wings, wearing Divine Raiments that amplified their superior attributes but demonstrated a nobility worthy of a Goddess, a style of dress that didnʼt expose much skin, with only the shoulders visible.

Due to their ʼpublic imageʼ, all of Victorʼs Wives were given a complete wardrobe makeover so that when they appeared in public, they would portray the appearance of beautiful Goddesses. All of their clothing was noble and beautiful, but they didnʼt expose too much. After all, in addition to being Goddesses, they were also Mothers and married to The Emperor. An appropriate image of nobility and elegance was necessary.

For those who liked more modern clothing, a designer made more modern clothing with shorter dresses and thigh-high boots.

Those who liked to wear clothing from their own culture, such as Amaterasu, Tasha, and Haruna, all had their clothing enhanced and styled according to their culture to be elegant, beautiful, and noble.

Those ʼrestrictiveʼ clothes, as Scathach liked to call them, were made only for public appearances, as most usually stayed in Victorʼs Inner World, working from there. Some rarely wore those clothes, and only those who currently took a more active position in The Empire wore these clothes daily.

Even Scathach herself, who had a lot of free will and usually wore a bodysuit with armor to facilitate movement, had to change. Usually, she wore an outfit that looked like a high-ranking military uniform. When she wasnʼt wearing that, she was wearing futuristic full-body armor with a long holographic cape with the symbol of The Empire, a suit of armor that Velnorah had made for all the Goddesses.

Although Scathachʼs complaint of movement restriction didnʼt actually apply since all the clothes were made with the best materials and hands in The Empire, meaning that they were made especially for each Goddess, so they donʼt hinder their movement at all.

After reading the article that Andrew had shown him, Fred finally understood why his wife was so excited these days. ʼNo wonder she made an altar in the corner of the mansion… It was to pray to those two, huh?ʼ

ʼBut damn, this Goddess of ʼCultureʼ is really a Goddess of ʼCultureʼ. Look at the size of those breasts!ʼ Fred thought the elegant dress didnʼt adequately convey the primary purpose of elegance, nobility, and enhancing the beauty of the Goddesses since, because it was Pepper in the picture, the dress couldnʼt hide her size very well.

Of course, he wasnʼt crazy enough to say it out loud. What if his friend were to hear him? Worse still, what if his wife heard him? After all, he didnʼt know if he was bugged or not.

It was hard to know this when you werenʼt entirely up-to-date with recent Technologies, but in Fredʼs defense, the pace at which The Empireʼs technology was progressing was absurd.

For example, the holograms Andrew was using were an older model. A new model that activated with just a thought had already been released! And he didnʼt even have the old version yet!

ʼFuck it, Iʼm going to throw all the administration into the hands of those old Vampires. They canʼt do anything anyway, all the general influence is in the hands of The Emperor.ʼ

The Great Clans, the Great Families, and the great groups were downgraded to just a common family name. Yes, their tradition and history were not lost, but in the grand scheme of things, they lost a lot of power.

Everything was in the hands of The Empire now, and in order for you to have ʼpowerʼ, you needed to participate in a new game run by The Empire itself.

And just like all gambling houses, the house always wins in its own territory. False loyalty? Deception? Self-hypnotized into believing in the God-Emperor and his Empire?

None of that worked. The Empire could see through any deception, and you couldnʼt progress if you didnʼt have loyalty, which was a very hard blow for these old Beings who were too used to power.

Victor literally kicked the table of the old game over and made his own, in which everyone was forced to follow his rules. This was the privilege of the strongest. He could do whatever he wanted, and no one could go against him.

”Damn, I asked for too much! I need to get back to watching my anime!” He said in frustration when he saw the massive list of old anime and new anime that were being released.
