I've had a few dates with Erika before, but they were never something truly serious. It seems Eleanora had dreamed of a romantic date, the two of us. It wasn't a conventional one, but a "vampire date" such as flying in the night sky, drinking blood together, slaughtering creatures or people... I suppose all those times we went to hunt the two of us she considered them something closer.
"Sure thing, so when?" I wondered.
"A-Anytime you think..." Eleanora smiled while blushing. "I think we could have a mix?"
"Mix?"
"Yeah, like... w-we do something normal for once."
"Oh, I see..."
"And then we can go at night to hunt something, and enjoy the moonlight together while we drink blood... Like we sometimes did alone, in our previous lives. Do you remember?"
"I do..."
We used to do this sometimes. Once I was done with a certain war or a fight, or when I took over a planet, Eleanora and I would go alone to explore the planet through the night sky. It was merely a trip with the two of us and nothing more, yet we cherished such a time alone.
It saddens me to think my previous life never just held her and kissed her for once. His mind was often always in a dark place. The solace he found was momentary, as he was always thinking what to do next.
"I overheard there's a lot of places to eat here? We could go to something like this, the two of us... Then we could enjoy a trip around the city... Maybe I could help you out buy items and the like, the two of us." Eleanora said.
"I like your idea. I'll gladly join you in that. I've also been thinking in asking you out, but... you seem often detached."
"I... I know..."
Eleanora sighed, lowering her head.
"Between me having no experience with these things, to being slightly shy... And then not wanting to get in between you and Erika and Elizabeth, I've found little strength to muster the words." Eleanora said. "I thought I would be a bother..."
"You would never be a bother to me, you're... one of my most precious things." I said, caressing her hand. "You will never bother me."
"Blake..." Elenora suddenly got slightly emotional, as she hugged me.
I received her hug happily, as I caressed her soft and long red hair. She was such a gorgeous woman. I'll make up for all the time my previous life made her feel forgotten or left behind.
"I'll make up for all the things my previous life couldn't do." I whispered to her ears. "I want to embrace you, Eleanora."
"Fweh?!" Eleanora flinched a bit as I whispered to her slightly pointy ears.
"Ah..." Her face was getting closer.
"I want to make you happy." I told her, looking directly at her eyes.
She smiled sweetly, her smile, much like Erika's, made my heart beat rapidly.
Such a beautiful vampiric charm, she already has me within her webs.
"I've always been happy at your side, my lord... You're my precious lord, there's nothing that would make me happier than to be embraced..."
Eleanora gave me a kiss in my nose.
"But everything at its due time, okay?"
She quickly calmed me down, even though she was currently sitting over my lap. There couldn't be anything more stimulating than such a gorgeous Vampiress sitting over my legs.
"Ah... Right. I was getting a bit too pumped up."
"Indeed, now. I remember you got some items from the Holy Spirits, no? How about using them?"
"Right... Those items."
As I was about to take the items out, I quickly looked back at her legs... her beautiful legs.
They were tightly wrapped around my hips as she sat on my lap.
"I know you want everything at its due time, but Eleanora, do you have to sit over my lap in such a way? Now that my body is human, I am weaker to your charms." I sighed.
Eleanora raised her eyebrows as she blushed intensively. She had not realized how tightly she was holding me. It was a rather tough battle to resist my sexual urges, especially at such age when everything has begun to develop at a rapid pace.
"R-Right!"
Eleanora quickly jumped off my lap, flying in the middle of the air with her vampiric wings.
"Ahahah... S-Sorry about that..."
"Don't worry. If it was up to me, I would gladly have you all day in my lap. But you're right, there are more pressing matters as of now."
"Y-You would?!" Eleanora got redder. "...But you're right! M-More pressing matters, ahem..."
As I took off the items, I heard the voices of Saphira and Hendrick sneaking behind my shadows.
"Fufu, that was so adorable!" Hendrick said. "My lord and my lady! Such a beautiful pair! Ahh! I want you two to be happy forever after! I will make you a beautiful gift to celebrate your love!"
The eccentric Hendrick began to make something with alchemy and several items he borrowed from my inventory.
"Mama and papa are finally getting married?" Saphira wondered innocently. "I am okay with Erika but papa must give more attention to mama!"
"M-Married?!" Eleanora asked. "Wait, isn't that some human ritual?"
"It is a bond of life." I told her. "Usually a man and a woman bond together forever, to be together as family and lovers until death."
"So romantic..." Eleanora sighed, looking into the mirror. "Ah, b-but that's a bit advanced...! D-Don't say such things now, dear." Saphira flew around us happily, until she was embraced by Eleanora.
Eleanora calmed down Saphira who was talking all sorts of things, as I looked into the items.
Currently, there were two consumables I wanted to try out.
The [Hero Essence Phial (Mythic Grade)] and the [Crescent Frozen Tear (Mythic Grade)].
The Phial was the easier thing to consume, so I quickly opened the beautiful bottle and drank its sweet golden sap.
This sap was the "essence" of Hero Dylan, apparently, something that the Holy Spirits somehow were able to extract.
FLASH!
And the moment I drank it, I felt like my power elevated!
