Chapter 46 The Serpent And The Dragon

Christian had his eyes fixed on Sato the whole time, he could feel his throat being squeezed from the intense aura he was feeling from Sato's body.

'This man, he's not normal in the least.' Christian said to himself, 'What is my sister doing with a guy like this?! Is he some kind of King bandit? Shit!!,'.

His eyes carelessly wandered over to Yuri whose aura was more intense, 'There's another one?' He questioned with fear.

"Brother? Are you okay?" Erza asked.

Christian was quick to snap back to reality, he looked at Erza intensely, "Where have you been?" He questioned.

Even though he was speaking to his sister, he couldn't help but look at Sato every now and then because of how wary he was.

"It's a long story." Erza replied, "But I need to speak to father first".

"And them?" Christian asked, looking at Sato and Yuri who were still looking around the area, amazed at how huge it was.

"Oh, see." Erza uttered with a smile, "He's my soon to be husband." She responded.

Stunned by the response, Christian immediately pulled Erza closer to him, "Please excuse us." He said to Sato before dragging Erza inside the mansion.

"Brother, geez calm. down.. what's gotten into you?!" Erza shouted as she got dragged in.

Sato and Yuri just stood there watching and didn't utter a word.

"Soo?.... What just happened?" Sato asked himself while giving off a deadpan look.

"Master?" Yuri called out.

"Hmm?"

"Are you serious about marrying that bloodsucker?" Yuri asked, her hand placed in front of her as she looked to be ground with a bit of sadness written on her face.

Sato was quiet for a while, he turned his attention to Yuri and stood in front of her, "Do you trust me?" He asked.

They both looked into each other's eyes for a while before Yuri responded.

"Of course, I do Master, with everything I have".

Sato smiled, placing his hand on her head, "Then trust me,".

"Hai!" Yuri replied with a smile.

Meanwhile, inside Vlad's mansion...…

Christian grabbed Erza's hand and pushed her in with force.

"What the hell are you thinking?!" He yelled.

"I should be asking you that, idiot… we left visitors outside, is that any way to treat our guests in Vlad's family?" Erza uttered.

"You little?!" Christian yelled with frustration, "What exactly did you mean by 'Your future husband'?" He asked mockingly.

"What do you want me to explain, he's my future husband, I made that very clear." Erza responded.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Christian panicked, moving closer to her, "Do you realize how worried father is, we all thought you were kidnapped… but you were busy doing what…. A HUSBAND'!".

"Don't jump to conclusions, I was ambushed, but I was saved by the man you are letting stand outside in the sun." Erza replied with courage backing her every word.

Christain sighed after a while, "You were supposed to get engaged to Luke… Gigz's son…".

"Things changed, I found my fated one." Erza chimed in.

"Fated one?...."

.....

... "Did you hit your head when you got kidnapped?....".

"Shut up!".

"Fated one my ass! How can your fated one be a mob boss, a strong one nonetheless, no vampire has found a fated one in over 500 years at this point, it might as well just be a myth". Christian asserted.

"For God's sake, Erza, were you blind… look at that dude and the intense aura coming from him.. there's no way he can have that kind of power and still be good!"

Erza didn't utter a word until Christian was done ranting his mind out to the point where he was starting to lose his breath.

"Eh? Mob boss?" Erza uttered with a poker face.

"Don't tell me you can't sense his evil intentions?" Christian asked.

"There is no evil intent brother, you have the ability to sense things more than most people, you are just overthinking this." Erza put forth a calm look.

"Father, how do you think father would react to this?" Christian asked.

"How do you think I'd react… tell me".

Vlad said, walking slowly down the stairs he looked at Christian but wasn't able to get a look at Erza since her back was facing him.

"Father…" Christain muttered, "Well you see… the thing is….".

"It's good to see you, father." Erza voiced out, immediately turning to look at Vlad who responded with a surprised expression.

"Erza." Vlad called out before walking toward her, "Where have you been, and where is Sebastian?" He asked.

"I know you have a lot of questions, and I'll definitely answer them, but first I want you to meet someone." Erza hinted.

.....

Sato and Yuri were still standing outside the mansion with Elena sitting in the driver's seat.

She was starting to have an impatient look on her face. Squeezing her fist, Elena turned to Sato.

"Lord Sato, I'm sorry if I'm speaking out of place, but making you stand out here in the sun is very disrespectful." Elena asserted.

Sato had his back resting on the carriage with his arms tucked, "I see what you mean." He replied.

'What the hell are they doing inside?' Sato thought to himself.

"I agree with her Master, this is no way to treat you." Yuri added, staring at the mansion with hate, "if you wish, I'll bring this whole place to its knees." She asserted.

"Go right ahead." Sato responded with a tiring groan as he looked at the sky.

He suddenly sensed a huge energy pop out of nowhere. When Sato looked down to look he saw Yuri heading toward the mansion with six dark orbs orbiting behind her.

Sato immediately yelled, "No, wait I'm joking,".

Yuri stopped her advance and looked at Sato, "Awwwn, bummer." She said with a sad tone.

Sato sighed, 'Remind me not to make a joke about killing with Yuri again.' He said in his mind.

<<Affirmative…>>

<<Your target approaches>>

The door to the mansion suddenly opened, and the whole Vlad family began walking toward Sato.

With Vlad being in the front and Christian and Erza standing behind him.

The intense aura that was bouncing back and forth between Vlad and Sato… like a serpent approaching a dragon.
