The Conquerors Path

Chapter 487 487-What Are The Girls Up To?(10)

Nylaʼs POV:

ʼShe is something else...ʼ

Nyla thought as she watched Sonia train so diligently. For baby vampires, it would take a tremendous amount of effort and time before they could control their bloodlust. Otherwise, they would go crazy at the thought of blood.

ʼShe managed to rein it in within a week.ʼ

Nyla wasnʼt well-informed about the biology of a half-vampire, but she could tell that Sonia was an unprecedented genius. Her growth rate was beyond normal, and the unique power bestowed upon her made her a force to be reckoned with.

”Urgh...”

A disgusted expression crossed Soniaʼs face as she took a sip from the blood pack in her hand, which belonged to Nyla and was considered the finest treat possible. Yet, Soniaʼs reaction was one of disgust, as if the blood tasted awful to her.

ʼJust how delicious would his blood be?ʼ

Nyla wondered, feeling a bit parched. She couldnʼt even begin to fathom how tasty Austinʼs blood must be for Sonia to find all other blood tasteless.

ʼI want a sip of it...ʼ

Suppressing her desires, Nylaʼs mind wandered to the image of Austin, a unique man in her eyes. Most would tremble at the mention of her father, the semi-immortal feared throughout the land. However, Austin didnʼt care about it when he fought against her. Not that she didnʼt like it; she preferred men with a backbone like him over spineless cowards.

From Nylaʼs perspective, Austin was the first man to capture her interest. He possessed strength and talent that were unseen, and his background rivaled hers, with both the Lionheart family and the Archery Association supporting him. In terms of appearance, he surpassed the refined beauty of vampires. A small blush appeared on Nylaʼs face as she thought of Austin.

She couldnʼt deny her attraction to him. Austin simply seemed different from all the other males she had encountered. Something about him was highly appealing to her.

ʼAh~ and that smell~ʼ

Nyla had a unique scent when it came to detecting blood, and even her palate was sophisticated, allowing only the best of the best blood to satisfy her. At times, she could catch the scent of quality blood, just like any other vampire. However, Austin seemed to be a walking disaster in that regard.

From the moment she met Austin, she could sense it—the divine blood flowing through his veins. Her vampire instincts recognized that the figure in front of her possessed the ultimate premium dish, one incredibly tempting to savor. Being proud and battle-minded, she directly challenged Austin to a battle, hoping to secure even a small victory as a reward—his blood.

Heck, ever since then, her main goal had been to defeat him and taste his blood. However, it seemed that things wouldnʼt go as planned anymore.

ʼUm~ I canʼt wait any longer~ʼ

Even Nyla, with her self-control, understood that she wouldnʼt be able to restrain herself much longer. As the days passed, her desire grew stronger. Her deep-rooted lineage screamed that she needed to taste Austinʼs blood.

ʼDamn it all! I will ask for his blood once he gets back!ʼ

Boom!

Just as she thought that a fierce wind struck her face, bringing her focus back to reality. She looked at Sonia, who lay on the ground, panting. Destruction surrounded her. Seeing this, Nyla shook her head and walked toward the exhausted Sonia.

”Tsk... I told you to contain the explosion.”

”Huff... huff... it isnʼt easy, and I want to get... huff... this done... so that I can quickly be of use to him...”

Sonia replied, her face lighting up with a stunning smile as she spoke. Seeing this, Nyla could only shake her head in dismissal. Initially, she had thought of slowly influencing Sonia to leave Austinʼs faction and join her familyʼs side, but she quickly discarded that idea.

ʼJust what kind of charm did she use on him to make her so madly in love?ʼ

The strong-willed and prideful Nyla couldnʼt comprehend Soniaʼs feelings. Even so, Soniaʼs expressions were more than enough for Nyla to give up any interest in taking Sonia back to her family.

ʼThough, should I warn him?ʼ

Nyla reconsidered. Austin might not show it, but he had already become the target of several vampire women. Even Nyla, with her self-control, wouldnʼt be able to resist the tempting smell of his blood for long. The only reason Austin hadnʼt been drained by now was due to his power and status. Although Nyla received reports that these girls couldnʼt hold back any longer.

ʼWhat the hell is in his blood?ʼ

A slight headache overwhelmed Nyla as she thought about the plans these bloodthirsty vampire girls were concocting.

ʼWell, not my problem. I might just enjoy the show...ʼ

Nyla thought as she refocused on training Sonia. She had already set her heart on tasting Austinʼs blood, unaware that this decision would be one she would both cherish and curse for the rest of her life.

Lanoraʼs POV:

ʼI wonder when I can get him to play for me again?ʼ

Lanora thought as she shyly played with the strings of her guitar, her mind wandering through the few times she had spent with Austin. She had been captivated by the tune he played back at the realm on his harp and made a promise for him to play for her when she first met him with Elda.

Austin had fulfilled her promise and played for her once, blowing her mind away with his performance. It was short, but it definitely left a lasting impression in Lanoraʼs mind. To her closed-off tribe, music was a form of communication, the purest representation of a personʼs soul. Lanora believed that the way one plays displays their soul.

And she had to say, Austinʼs soul was beautiful, enough to blind her for a few seconds.

”Sigh... I want him to play for me again.”

Lanora muttered with a weak voice as her hands beautifully played against the strings, producing a beautiful melody. Yet, her heart seemed unsatisfied by it. Somewhere along the line, she wanted Austin to play with her. Just as she thought this, a deep blush filled her beautiful blue skin, making the movements of her fingers erratic for a moment.

In Lanoraʼs tribe, the act of a man and a woman playing perfectly together signifies the great sync between them. If a woman proposes to play music with a man, it means she is interested in him. And if their first play together creates a harmonious tune, then they are meant to be together. The man and woman would then fall in love and marry.

Lanoraʼs tribe has a very conservative and specialized outlook on matters of love. This isnʼt just a custom to them but also something engraved deep within their souls. It is how they live, and itʼs a culture that Lanora loves and accepts.

ʼShould I ask to play with him?ʼ

Even though this thought brought her embarrassment, Lanora wanted to do it. In all her life, she had seen several men play and heard various tunes and music. Back in her tribe, she had even received several proposals from different men, all playing beautiful music to win her heart. But she was never moved as much as she was by Austinʼs play that day. It shook her heart.

”I wonder, would we playing together create a tune?”

Lanora asked out loud as she shyly hugged her instrument, her gaze turning dreamy for a moment as she imagined the two of them playing together. A mix of anxiety and excitement passed through her. In her eyes, none of Austinʼs other physical attributes mattered. He could be the least attractive man in the world, yet if his music still played as it did, she wouldnʼt hesitate to ask him to play together.

ʼI guess thereʼs no use fretting over it. I will ask him once he returns...ʼ

With that in mind, she moved toward the communication center in the academy, planning to inform her father that she might have found her destined one.

ʼMou~ I really want to play with him!ʼ
