Episode 278 A Vampire Who Says No Blood or Tears (3)
On the second day after coming here, he goes into surgery.
That means you have plenty of time until the next two days.
Ray decided to make the most of that time.
While harassing the maid-in-waiting,
He rang the bell as he lay on the bed.
Then, the vampire lady-in-waiting who was waiting beyond the door inevitably gnashing her teeth to come.
“What is going on again?”
“I’ve been lying down for a while and I’m bored. Get some books out of my backpack and bring them.”
“Keuk...”
I wanted to do something about it, but I couldn’t ignore Tiffria’s request.
Besides, I don’t know what’s going on, but it seems that the beggar-like person in front of me is a pretty skilled therapist.
You cannot kill the human who came to cure Tiffria’s disease.
So the vampire maid had no choice but to grunt and move on.
Searching through her backpack, she pulled out some books and handed them to me.
“Now, is this enough?”
“huh. thank you.”
I always say thank you to the subject that I work on without a break.
The vampire maid sighed and left the door.
Then, not long after, the bell rang.
Ray is a man with a fairly long back end.
He expresses himself as a self-proclaimed great sea and a modest flower, but in reality he is a man with a messy back.
Now even the vampire maid knows that.
‘Wrongly caught.’
It also went pretty badly.
* * *
Tiffria has been quite busy since coming to the mansion.
I have to prepare for surgery in the next two days, and I have to press my brother’s faction for him.
Buying two days without doing anything is just as difficult.
Besides, it seems that the opposing faction has noticed this fact from where the rumors leaked out.
It seemed that tomorrow would be a turning point because it was slowly showing movement.
‘No matter how old you are, it will be difficult for you to move independently. I’d rather shed more information about what happened. If we proceed externally in the name of treating a disease, we won’t be able to do anything that stands out.’
If you can’t hide it, it’s better to reveal it generously.
Even though they heard the news about the treatment, if they started a fight, the neutral faction’s gaze towards them would change to skepticism, so they couldn’t act recklessly.
Having made up her mind, Tiffria instructed her faction to deliberately leak information.

When the news of Typhria’s illness was resolved, the Vermatite faction went into an uproar.
Those who sat around the round table nodded and drooled.
“I got into trouble. It has become even more difficult to touch.”
“To think of selling yourself to get peace. No matter how pure-blooded he may be, that kind of thinking is not befitting the next head of the family.”
No matter what you say, the current situation will not be broken.
I had no choice but to let it go, like a dog chasing chickens staring at the roof.
Vermata, slightly admiring Tiffria’s skill, quietly knocked on the table when her son-in-law became noisy.
Tak— Tak—
The elders, who had swallowed their saliva, stopped talking as a sound filled with humming echoed through the palace.
“There are still plans left, so there’s no rush. A human healer came to Tiffria’s mansion, right?”
An elder answered his question.
“yes. Although he has a low status, I heard rumors that he has considerable skills. It is said that the guild of the village also recognizes it to some extent.”
Vermata smiled coldly.
“Humans are weak to fear and money. We will persuade him to get rid of Tiffria.”
“...but it will soon be discovered. There is a possibility that even neutral factions will rise up.”
“They, who can’t get up from their chairs because of their heavy hips, can’t get involved in such troublesome things. Even if that were the case, it would be a matter of putting all the blame on that person.”
The elders thought.
It sounds like a pretty good idea.
But you can’t pretend you didn’t hear it, since you’ve already heard it.
Ray approached the women and asked.
“What do you mean?”
Glancing at his outfit, the girls covered their mouths and let out a sneer.
“I guess you are a rumor person?”
“As I’ve heard, you look like a beggar. Ho ho ho.”
Originally, the lady-in-waiting was a vampire, so she couldn’t speak harshly to the guest of the next head of the family.
But he was human.
A man in a filthy outfit.
In the first place, vampires tend to look down on other heterogeneous races.
As a result, I couldn’t help but look down on the other person while talking.
The maid-servant, who was watching from the side, became angry without even realizing it.
Certainly, the outfit looks like it came from begging somewhere, and the appearance of wearing a mask is quite old-fashioned, but now he is the guest in charge.
The guest was hearing gossip in his face.
Besides, if it’s normal, it’s normal to show off even if it’s a thick talk like you used to do to yourself, but he doesn’t respond.
That made her even more angry.
The voice that spoke naturally became sharp.
“Be careful with your words. No matter how human he is, this person was brought by Lady Tiffria herself. You ladies-in-waiting can’t ridicule that.”
The women replied with a tone that they would see all the stars.
“Have you ever had a relationship with someone like this after spending a day together? Ho ho ho. It’s funny, boy.”
“You are suffering too. What do you do when you are friends with Tiffria-sama? I’m in a position where I have to wait on a mere human being. Ho ho ho ho.”
When you reply, the ridicule grows even louder.
In the end, even the handmaids who tried to stop the arrows of criticism directed at him became the target of stoning.
The lei is quite long at the hind end.
However, it does not include the person who acted to do something for himself.
Just as the vampire maid moved for him, Ray moved for her this time.
Pull yourself forward and cover her behind your back.
When I looked at him with an expression that I did not know why, he revealed the face he had hidden until now.
Grab the mask with one hand and peel it off.
Her white hair fell softly.
The white robe, which had looked shabby until now, had a sense of luxury, and the pale green stains on the sleeves were no longer visible.
In the mysterious eyes, you can feel the weighty seriousness, not the previous frivolity.
His slightly closed lips glistened in the light, exuding a beauty that was not of this world.
Even Aira, who has overcome the ark of off-white, admired her appearance.
The ladies-in-waiting looked at it with their chins pulled out.
A soft voice is heard in the ear.
“I am Ray, who was invited here as a guest. If it’s okay, can I hear what happened just before?”
He spoke bluntly and politely.
The ladies-in-waiting shared the true name without my knowledge.
“Nice bar. My name is Erca...”
“This is Sesanna. The conversation just... Every time Vermat-sama comes, something always happens...”
He was quite gibberish.
Ray, who extracted only the necessary information from among them, summarized it in his head.
Roughly speaking, a vampire called Vermata sometimes visits in the name of visiting her in the hospital, and it seems that something happened to Tiffria every time.
After hearing all the necessary information, he put on his mask again.
Then, from a mysterious scion, he goes back to being a pitiful beggar.
Had I been dreaming for a while?
The ladies-in-waiting looked at him with hazy expressions.
“Hey there...if it’s okay, I can change the maid in charge...”
She might not know about the maids, but now Ray doesn’t need anything from them.
Let alone beautiful memories, I have only bad memories, so there is no way I can say anything pleasant.
Ray spat on the ground at the attitude that changed immediately after taking off a mask.
“You say you don’t like beggars?”
The maids’ faces turned into tears.
