The interesting ones
|Well I''ll guess I''ll interview all of them, sigh after that I''ll have ta send Lara ta give Limia''s father a letter, then I''ll read the reports from tha soldier we sent ta retrieve tha Vermillion and I''ll act according ta what they say.|(Apocalypse)
|Well aren''t you a busy one ?|(Axandrion)
|I am a duke so of course I am busy, it''s just that I often ditch my work because it''s boring ~~|(Apocalypse)
|Well paperwork just isn''t suited for Wrath anyway. Anyway I''ll help you, you still have power you haven''t figured out after all.|(Axandrion)
|Like what ?|(Apocalypse)
|Wen you are one or use to be one of the seven apostles you can tell the name of anyone of your faction, so I can tell every Vermillion''s name. With training you should be able to tell dragons and Vermillion''s one. It''s not a easy skill to pick up but it is really useful. You can also tell their affinities like wrath or pride for example, though when you are an apostle you don''t really care about their affinities.|(Axandrion)
|I see then that means that we''ve got subordinates huh ? Tha more I learn about us and tha more I think that we''re like demon lords from Japanes novel.|(Apocalypse)
I enter the living room with my father and we sit down on the same couch. A maid brings us a set of tea for three people, yessss it''s Yua''s personal tea !! Nothing can beat Yua''s tea, you heard that England go back to your mother and let me enjoy Yua''s delicious tea. She really wasn''t my personal maid for nothing, gosh did the uniform suited her I''d like to see her wearing it again. Maybe if I managed to make travel between Mundus and here I''ll take her to a maid café and watch the chaos insue.
|You''ve got the face of someone who wants to prank someone right now, you are walking in the right way my son|(Axandrion)
|I hope I don''t end up like ya, yar state isn''t something I''d like ta share.|(Apocalypse)
The first Vermillion enter the room, he is the samurai looking guy, he has three japanese blade at his belt but each is shorter than the other, so a katana, a wakizashi and a tanto. He is still closing his eyes, he sit down and take the cup of tea and zip on it.
|Once again I am sory for my companion''s attitude, I however think that your brother''s action were a bit rash, damaging his head like that will only get him dumber.|(Samurai looking guy)
My eyebrow twitch, that fucking weboo, who is my brother ? I think a vein pooped on my forehead.
|He actually is my father.|(Apocalypse)
|Oh ..... fucking magic world messing with my brain .... ahem, I apologize for my mistake I did not know you were from a long living species.|(Samurai looking dude)
|You''re tha same as us ya moron.|(Apocalypse)
|Am I not human ?|(Samurai looking guy)
|If Mars was a sun then ya would be.|(Apocalypse)
|Oh .... Then I must be quite far from being human.|(Samurai looking dude)
|Anyway dad, do yar work.|(Apocalypse)
|Hmmmn, his name is ... Kirego Furesar Terant Sivalar Vermillion, affiliation with sloth, he is a pure Vermillion.|(Axandrion)
Kirego slowly put the cup on table and slowly open his eyes, now I understand why he keep them closed ... he looks like he hasn''t slept for day when he opens them.
|How do you know my name ?|(Kirego)
|Some people in our species have the ability to know the names and affiliation of our people and turns out that I have it. Anyway we are not here to talk about me so from where do you come from ? What do you do in life ? Have you a lover or anythng of the sort ? You know things like that.|(Axandrion)
Questions like that may seem useless to you but it is in fact very important, it''ll tell me how to handle them and who they are. If they have a lover then I can offer them my protection if something ever happen, depanding on the job they have then I can find a job for them if they stay in the mansion,you know if they are mercenaries then I can hire them as guards and so on. I am rich bitch I don''t worry about money, my usual income is about 1000 gold coins a week, I''ve got too much. Anyway the guy closed his eyes again.
|I see, I guess it is something like the name being engraved onto our very soul. As you guessed my name is Kirego, I am a wandering warrior without affiliation to any country or organization like the adventurer guild. For the time being I do not have a lover although during my travel someone did caught my eyes but we had to part away due to political reason.|(Kirego)
|Why was that ?|(Apocalypse)
|She was the daughter of a low rank noble and she was promised to marry a marquise against her will and well me, a commoner, has no say in the matter .... Why are you looking at me as if I had killed your cat ?|(Kirego)
|Maid give a piece of paper and a pen.|(Apocalypse)
Light footstep were heard and the door opened, a little girl brought a piece of paper and a pen. I started to write on it, gosh I don''t believe I am doing something like that for an idiot like that. If you aren''t okay with the girl you like getting married then just take her away, it''s not like anyone would blame you. I finaly add my family crest on the bottom of the paper and fold it in a letter and give it to him. e looks at the letter then at me then tilt his head.
|Ya are a Vermillion therefore ya are part of tha Crimson household, this letter contain a duel proposal for tha hand of tha woman ya fancy. A mere marquisse can''t do anything about that even if he is from a foreign country since as a duke my power is second ta tha king so rest assured. Also once ya have finished get back here with yar beloved, a vary nasty organization is after us, Vermillion.|(Apocalypse)
|As much as I want to thank you it has been 2 years, she is already married.|(Kirego)
|So ? Us who comes from Mundus should now better than any other how easy it is ta get someone ta break up with another, dig up some dirt about tha marquisse and if he doesn''t have any then just make some up, not like anyone would notice or complain about it if it isn''t tha marquisse family.|(Apocalypse)
|That''s cowardly.|(Kirego)This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
|All''s fair in love except when it comes down ta my wives. Anyway you can go, be sure ta come back.|(Apocalypse)
He stands up and go out after bowing. Did I really did a love consultation just now ? Not that it bother me but that isn''t why I asked them to come here, although if they do have a lover then I don''t have to worry too much abut them touching my wives or my maids, my maids are holy creation that can only pair up with butlers, no that not true but I don''t like it when people flirt with my maids. The next one is the guy I got mad at .... the moment he enters I glare at him and he flinch, he sit down akwardly.
I continue to glare at him and small drop of sweat appear on his forehead and he has a wry sile and a dry laugh. What ? Uncomfortable ? Did you really think I was going to forgive what this guy is said to have done ? Those who dare try to have their way with my wives are nothing but scums and worms that need to be burn along with spiders. I am selfish and so what ? nobody except me and my wives can enter their body, even food is a sin, how dare they enter my wives mouth !!
|Ahem, son you are making a really dangerous face.|(Axandrion)
|Hmmm, Oh yeah sorry, I was thinking of how I would kill him.|(Apocalypse)
|Please don''t joke with a flat voice ...|(The bastard)
|Joke ? Is it tasty ?|(Apocalypse)
|Please stop .... I am sorry I won''t do it ever again.|(The bastard)
|So who is he ?|(Apocalypse)
|Memurien Hertar Furusor Vivori Vermillion, I guess you expected that but he is affiliated with lust. He is not a pure Vermillion but the foreign blood is so diluted that it doesn''t show, maybe a bit of human or something alike.|(Axandrion)
|Yup that''s me, I guess my fame as a mercenary reached you. It''s true that I was quite famous in the Dero republic after all. Ahhh ~~ girls were all over me, a real paradise ~~|(Memurien)
|Butler take him ta tha nearest brothel in tha city and tell him not ta come ack until he can control his lust.|(Apocalypse)
A butler comes in and takes him away. Once he is dried up I won''t have to fear him trying to get his libido in my wife .... Once Lara comes back she would kill him if he ever tried something funny. Me and my wives are so much alike, nothing touch them except if we all agree to it and we are dead set on this rule .... except for the fact that they want me to have a wife from all the races for research resons they say, they are just a bunch of pervert who get lonely when I am not here and want exotic people to burden. Like how Eali like ears so she wants an Elf, Yua would like another scaled one. Eleonore and Lara doesn''t care but Glymina wants another one with tentacles. I think they use me as a wife magnet ... They''re so cold.
The next one was a man who must be 2 meters and a half tall or something like that, he had a clear blue eye and the other one was deep green. He had medium long withe hair and his faciale feature although emotionless were somehow feminine, there was no doupt that he was a man but that adroginous face gave him a certain charm.He is wearing a black armor that is surely made out of insect type monster, it put his maculine feature in a spotlight, he has a jet black cloak and a red tribal tatoo just under his right eyes.
He has two nasty looking dagger at his waist as well as a foldable X shaped bow. He also has a gigantic black scythe with a white skeletal frame and red outline on the blade, the scythe must be two meters long and has a blade of about one meter long. If I had to describe the atmosphere he gives off then I''d say ominous yet soothing. He put his weapons against the couch and sit down. For the next two minutes noody say anything, not that we are intimidated or anything just that we were waiting for him to greet us but he didn''t so we were at loss, a little tired of waiting I dived in.
|Heuuu, Hello.|(Apocalypse)
|Hello.|(Ominous guy)
|Great we''ve got a kuudere now, so dad what can ya tell about him ?|(Apocalypse)
|His name is Monti YukogiZarasi Nukturl Vermillion ... Affiliated with sloth something understandable knowing that he is half-vampire. Hmmm, Oh I see he must be Ferina''s son, I wonder if that old hag still roams around .... so I can guess he inherited some of her blood knight power and surely her thirst too. Since he is an half animal''s blood should do the trick.|(Axandrion)
The man got ready to grab his scythe at any moment, not that he wanted to attack he was just wary of us since we know who he is. I couldn''t sense any killing intent in him and although his eyes flashed with surprised for a second his face remained emmotioneless. I put my cup down.
|Do not worry knowing who ya are is just a power my father has. We don''t mean any harm ta ya and I guess ya don''t mean harm ta us. I''ll intoduce myself, my name is Apocalypse Vermillion and I am currently the apostle of Wrath, tha one next ta me is Axandrion Vermillion tha previous apotle of Wrath. Since ya seems ta be someone who''ll listen I''ll tell ya something.
Every people named Vermillion and who are under twenty, like us, originally came from this world before getting sent ta Earth. We were sent back here without knowing that and some of us decided ta use th power we have ta take over tha world and so I want ta stop them by preventing them from getting any more of us. Since it has been five years since we were sent back here I supposed ya figured it out but ya are not human, furthermore it seems ya are a half-vampire, I, myself, am half-dragon.
Now that I did this briefing tell me more about ya, what do ya do for a living ? Your vision of humans ? Do ya have a lover ? Do ya have a goal ? Things like that.|(Apocalypse)
The man lowered his guard and nodded.
|My name is Monti Vermillion. I am used to be called an adventurer although I do not take part in the guild. I want a peaceful life with people dear to me. Humans are humans and I still consider myself as one, I drank the blood of various monsters to survive my blood sucking urge. I do not have a lover or anything of the sort yet.|(Monti)
|Strange, with your look you shouldn''t be troubled by something like finding a girlfriend.|(Axandrion)
|I believe that looks is irrelevant in that matter.|(Monti)
|That''s right, no matter how good someone looks humans won''t accept a half-vampire. Well this mansion is everything but that since there is only seven humans that set foot here since I got it. Well don''t worry here ya''ll find one quite easily, especially if ya follow me since it seems I am a living woman magnet.|(Apocalypse)
He nodded .... Well that''s be nice if he would at least crack a joke, even earlier his answer were quite straight-forwards he just answered and nothing else. Well that''s kuudere for you, they don''t talk much and even when they do it is only short sentences. That silence is really uncomfortable, he looks friendly but I am bad with the silent type.
|Alright y-ya can go.|(Apocalypse)
He nodded and went out. Those three were the most noteworthy, in the rest there were a bit of warriors, bard, cooks and all that kind of things. After I assigned all of them to some place where I could monitor them while they could still do their jobs I went to my office to look at the reports. Hmmm, they heard the rumor about a powerful femal warrior having been jailed in the demon''s country, apparently they sealed her power when she was sleeping and then threw her in the deepest floor of a tamed dungeon. Dungeon are structure type monsters and like any other monsters they can be tamed.
Apparantly a restaurant opened in a foreign country and started to sell weird dishes and desserts. Hmmm sounds like title holder to me but I can''t be sure, Anyway I''ll wait for Lara''s return and I''ll go to the demon country since rotting in a jail isn''t something a woman should do. Speaking of woman one just showed up in my office without knocking.
|Is yar pride too high ta even knock before barging in my room ?|(Apocalypse)
|Is it a way to speak to your aunt, Apocalypse Satan Seraph Amael Vermillion ?|(Iris)
|Stop using my full name it''s creepy, so what are ya here for ?|(Apocalypse)
|Hmmphh as foul mouthed as his father, I am here to speak with my nephew about his wives.|(Iris)
|What about my wives ?|(Apocalypse)
|For you who will surely live several dozen of thousands of years, do you not think that such short lived species as wives will only bring you pain ?|(Iris)
|Ya don''t have ta worry about that aunty, because of me they already reach a point were they can''t even compare ta their previous lifespan HA HA HA, Ki is wonderful thing ya know.|(Apocalypse)
|If you say so ... do not say that to your ather but, do you really believe it is okay for us to live alongside humans ?|(Iris)
|That''s a silly question, I won''t say it is okay I''ll say we must live with humans. We''re a species made for war so we must stay with those who knows how ta love peace ta understand them and throw aside our war-like nature.|(Apocalypse)
She looked at the window with lonely eyes before turning her eyes to me once again, he golden hair lightly swaying on her shouder.
|I will trust you nephew, please do not fail me.|(Iris)
Well she sure is prideful but she doesn''t sound like a bad person. Hmm I guess I''ll take a fiew Vermillion with me when I''ll go to the demon country, I''ll wait for Kirego to come back, Memurien is coming with me since I don''t trust him, Monti looks like he would had much to our fighting force. I''ll also go with Imperion since we may be searching for another apostle and I don''t want to take any risk. I could go on my dragons back but if I did so I might miss some interesting rumors.
Well then let''s wait.
