Chapter 498 Chain Reaction (Part 1)



Before Jeanne started telling her story, the pair of mother and daughter as well as Emily intensely gazed at Daimon, though they didn't say anything they were clearly waiting for him to take his mask off.

But they instead saw the crazy girl return to her real appearance by cancelling the disguising effect of the bracelet of the god of mischief.

1.8 meters of height, white pale skin with straight bright purple hair that cascaded down all the way to her hips, despite being quite tall for her age and being a knight, her figure was quite feminine having quite noticeable curves on the right places.

Her eyes were also of a light purple color and to crown all the previous a pretty face akin to a young lady of noble birth, if there was any downside to it that was the fact that she was giving Daimon quite a predacious gaze.

As if she was weighting whether she should try to pounce on him and grab a bite or not, leaving her outstanding appearance aside, she looked a bit older than before and also her real level was revealed as she radiated the aura of a middle stage Lord rank.

At least that was the realm she had, as for how strong she really was, let alone Reyne, even Jeanne and Emily couldn't discern it and that picked their interest.

"You don't seem to be like us, but you also don't seem to be human... at all", said Emily as she observed the crazy girl.

"Don't stare too much only my fated one can do that~", said Sarah as she licked her lips at Daimon, while also accentuating her figure while stealing a gaze at Reyne, who for once actually looked a bit pissed.

In terms of beauty in general, Reyne didn't lose to Sarah at all, but the crazy girl was quite well-endowed while Reyne was more on the slim elegant side, which wasn't that noticeable previously when she was in disguise, since Sarah literally used the image, she had of herself when she was younger to make her disguise.

"How old are you?", asked Reyne to which the crazy girl said.

"I'm 24 why...", just as Sarah was speaking, she saw a little almost unnoticeable triumphant smile appear on Reyne's face, which made the crazy girl suddenly feel the urge to punch her.

"I'm about to be 17 years old in a few months and I'm also a middle stage Lord rank, I'll reach you in no time", she said as she gazed at looked at her mother from the corner of her eyes.

Though Jeanne also had that elegant refined aura, to be put in simple words her body was sinful, Emily was quite the same, by the way.

"Ahem, let's not divagate from the subject, here you go", said Daimon interrupting the gaze clash between those two, as he took off his mask, needless to say but the presents were surprised to see Daimon's face behind the mask.

Vampires are quite proud of two things, their lineage and their looks, it's not an exaggeration to say that they are one of the vainest races, with alfears not being that from them, of course not all are like that, but it's of common knowledge.

That being said, they indeed are quite lookers, at least in the time Daimon spent at the Naktis's castle, he never saw a maid who wasn't at the level of the top models back at earth.

And with Aisha's good genes, his lineage and the Apex Predator body, the result was a killer, his defined traits and the fact that his skin was rather pale, which perfectly contrasted with his silver hair and amethyst-colored eyes, made him be on par with those pretty boys, but his aura was a wild one eliminating any kind of frailness, not to mention his expression by default was a slightly serious one, giving him a much mature sensation overall.

It was especially eye catching because normally knights have rougher aspects, stereotypes exist for a reason, and while not all knights are muscleheads, they tend to have way bulky complexions and Daimon looked like the perfect mix of both the refined appearance one would expect from a mage and the imposing aspect of a knight.

"Are you done you three?", casually asked the crazy girl with a somewhat irritated voice, as she saw them staring at Daimon.

"Mm, he doesn't look like any of the Dukes nor the Archdukes, what do you think Jeanne?", said Emily, to which Jeanne shook her head in response.

"No, I also don't recall any noble with those characteristics, the purer lineages have bright red eyes and either blond or black hair", she said.

The only one who didn't make a comment and just sweetly smiled at Daimon was Reyne, very much to the displease of the crazy girl.

The previous made Daimon remember what he thought about earlier.

"Speaking of that, can we just talk about it like this?", he asked, as he looked at Reyne making the latter softly laugh.

"I know about mom and aunt Emily... in fact I'm the same", she said with her calm gentle voice, as her skin became a bit paler and her eyes turned bright red, unlike the unhealthy white tone that Dilan had, Jeanne, Emily and Reyne didn't look lifeless but snow pale like noble ladies that had never worked under the scorching sun of Kerrol, even if two of them are knights.

"You are wondering why you couldn't detect anything from neither me or Reyne, while Emily's case was different... that is because Emily was a pure blood, but don't think bad of her, her family wasn't like the other nobles, for a change there used to be an Archduke who didn't allow his descendants to kill nor feed on humans".

"Which is why they were purged by all the other nobles, Emi's mother managed to escape with her to the wasteland where we met, due to me being wounded on the head and encircled by magic beasts, even if they were escaping, they helped me...", Jeanne waited for a moment before continuing.

"Back then Reyne was only a few months old, I did my best to protect her but there were simply too many magic beasts, and lady Vanis helped me because she was a mother too, though Emi was already an adult, back then she wasn't way weaker than me", she said with a somewhat nostalgic smile.

"I was quite lucky to find the only beauty among Cardinals".

'Quite lucky', thought the woman as she laid on top of Adam while she stole a gaze at his sword, which was placed at the corner of the room.

...

Back at Tiria and more accurately to the meeting room at the castle of the Valleris family, there was a slightly comical scene ongoing.

There were three girls, two adults and a young one inspecting Daimon from head to toe, they even asked him to show them his fangs, which even without the enlargement that happened when he wanted to drink blood, were larger than normal.

"So, from where you come, we who don't need to drink blood but can get nourishment from regular food, would be "vampires" and high ranked noble ones like you on top of that?", curiously asked Reyne.

"To think there is another world so close, when all the nearby planets are completely death and uninhabitable", said Emily, she was interested in astronomy, but there was nothing much she could do here, Kerrol natives couldn't even leave the planet, butt hey had telescopes strong enough to reach other planets.

Obviously ever since the blood moon week were most of the planet was turned into an extremely dangerous place, the humans have been considering the chance to move to another planet, but they then discovered that the nearby planets were in a much worse condition.

Which the flesh eating demons also got to know, which was part of the reason as to why the war became even more fiercer, there was no way to go, the winner will survive and the loser will go extinct.

"Then in your world those who aren't human are not discriminated?", asked Jeanne, only to see Daimon shrug in response.

"It depends, as long as there are benefits there is war, that doesn't change no matter where you go, the difference is that we are certainly have it way easier than here, there are many planets that have been conquered and colonized, by the various races, since we can easily travel through space", he said.

Daimon didn't bother to hide it, because he made a soul oath with these three so that they couldn't reveal anything, that being said they didn't seem to be interested in sharing this information with anyone else.

If anything, he was a bit worried about the intense stare of the crazy girl, since she didn't know he was a vampire, he didn't particularly hide it from the Risha sisters and the other girls, but he didn't mention it, but at this point it wasn't necessary to hide it, they already knew he could use both mana and battle aura anyway.

And as he expected he was right to feel that sensation of unease as he heard the crazy girl saying.

"Then, can you drink my blood...".

"No", Daimon immediately refused her request, but that only made the crazy girl happier.

"Ahh, such a cutting negative answer~", she said as she tried to hug Daimon only to be avoided by him, the previous made Reyne raise an eyebrow as she mumbled.

"Is that kind of thing normal from where you come or...".

"No, she is just crazy", said Daimon as he sighed.

The small relaxing time was over the next second when they heard someone knocking at the door, Daimon nodded at Jeanne, they had already signed their own deal, while he prepared a public one for the Adjudicators.

"Come in", said Jeanne, only then Oliver opened the door, he wasn't alone unlike when he left, there was a tall old man with short gray beard standing behind of him, but that wasn't all, Eliot also tagged along next to the old man.

Even before Oliver could say anything, Daimon casually said.

"Was I not clear enough earlier, I don't want to see him", he of course was using his mask again, while Sarah had returned to her disguised appearance.

"I was the one brought him along, little friend, I have been told the story and I agree to pay for the evidence you mentioned as well as giving you the space in the first batch that enters that place, can't you give my grandson a chance in exchange, he is also going so it's better for the youths to be in good terms", said the old man, who was surprisingly quite relaxed compared to Oliver.

That being said the City Lord still disciplined his son by making him bow his head.

"Now, a City Lord must always recognize his mistakes, where is your apology, our guests have more than proven to be allies of humanity", said Oliver with a strict voice.

"I... am sorry", it took Eliot everything he had to spat those words, it was obviously a forced one, but Daimon didn't care about him to be honest, if he tried anything, he will kill him and that's it.

So, leaving Eliot's matter aside, the three newcomers entered the room and sat on the table, then the old man gazed at Daimon before saying.

"Could you tell me what is the evidence you mentioned, we have already summoned the allies who were nearby in extreme secrecy, so once we have a look of it, we'll take actions against the church, all at the same time".

Daimon nodded and then took out a well-designed badge with a red emblem on it.

"I captured the son of that Blood Earl, which is why those idiots from the church came to frame me, they thought I might have some information about him, since it's been some time since he disappeared", said Daimon.

Naturally the presents were baffled at Daimon's affirmation, killing flesh eating demons is a thing, everyone here has done that quite a lot in fact, but capturing one, and the direct descendant of a really important noble is a completely separate matter.
