Episode 61 – Glaceon’s Room

When Werner collapsed, I lost my temper without knowing it and started to run wild. Even if it’s only half, the blood of a vampire flows inside me. It was also the blood of her mother, the queen of vampires.

The whites turn black and fangs sprout. The vampire’s power is also incomparably stronger than before, and the bloody wings sprout from the back. Of course, my anger was directed at the girl named Airi, who was said to be a disciple of Camellia and Werner.

Even if they hadn’t come, today could have been the second best day of my life. The first, of course, must have been the wedding day following the engagement ceremony. But they broke in and ruined everything. But on top of that, Werner even collapsed. It’s all because of that damn girl named Iri.

Before my sword touched Airi’s throat, Airi let out a short sigh and quietly cast a spell. It turned into a battle of whether my sword struck Airi’s neck first or Airi’s spell struck me first.

But my mother manipulated her blood to block Airi’s mouth, and my father blocked my sword with one arm.

“The adults play a little, so it seems like there’s nothing to see… Children whose hair hasn’t even dried yet.”

“I hope you don’t think we’re the kind of people who will play with you until the end like Werner. Before I get really angry.”

Airi raised her arms and declared surrender. I couldn’t admit it, and I couldn’t tolerate that attitude of trying to get away with another interruption on the subject of pests that were harmful to Werner’s life.

“Because she is the daughter of the leader, you are quick to grasp the situation. I’ll take care of you this time, there will be no next time.”

Mother seemed to like Airi’s attitude and let go of her restraints. But that only ended the matter between my mother and Airi, not the end of the dispute with me.

“Come here! I’ll kill you!”

Airi sighed and started looking at me pitifully.

“Why don’t you cool down a bit? Being quiet and then suddenly getting excited… Guys don’t like that?”

I couldn’t hold back my anger and ran. If it had been the usual, he would have been able to pass that level of provocation. However, the blood of the vampire who started running rampant did not tolerate such a provocation.

“Now, this is a pierced mouth…!”

Even though I rushed at her, Airi didn’t take any countermeasures and just raised her hands. I didn’t understand why, but I didn’t want to understand the circumstances. As I was about to cut Airi without hesitation, a heavy shock hit my forehead.

The person who struck that blow was Melissa, the queen of vampires, my mother.

“My princess… Do you think your mother’s words are funny?”

“You’re getting out of the way, mother? Right now, I can’t handle this power… It seems like it’s difficult to control my strength…”

“Haa… This is why kids are in trouble.”

Mother sighed and began tapping Father on the back.

“It looks like I’ll have to give you a little extravagant admonition, so you take the youngest to the mansion first.”

“You should also moderate your strength. He deserves to be very excited today.”

“I know, you, the leader’s daughter and Camellia, follow quickly. If you get caught up, you don’t take responsibility.”

My father, Airi, and Camellia, who were holding Werner, tried to leave without ignoring me.

“at there!”

“Why don’t you stop, my princess?”

I ignored my mother’s words and followed after her, trying to suffocate Airi, but my mother made a spear with her blood and threw it at me.

I managed to avoid it, but I almost got my body cut.

“My princess has lost her cowardice because she has never been beaten by her mother~ I see~”

“Get out of the way, mother. Before I get into a real fight.”

“Oh, even the bluffing… What a child, my daughter.”

I had no choice but to knock out my mother with a sword strike. I fixed my sword and rushed at my mother, but a fierce slap hit me on the cheek. I was slammed into the wall, and my mouth tasted like blood because I didn’t raise any guards.

“It was easy since this mother always takes care of our princess, right?”

“Cool…”

“Let’s hit our princess’s mother.”

I couldn’t help it. I thought that I should cut Airi’s throat after at least slashing at least a vital point.

As I charged my mother with a sword, she put a hand on my forehead and said,

“Daughter… Do you know what kind of existence the queen of vampires is?”

And when my mother pushed me away with her finger, I was thrown into a huge stone statue. While I was losing my mind, my mother lifted me up and said,

“If even a little bit of vampire blood flows in your body, you won’t be able to use your power properly. That’s a queen, so don’t even dream of getting bitten by your mother.”

—–

My throat was dry. He had been confined to his room with restraints for several days already. In the name of punishment for arguing against my mother.

When the time came, my mother would bring me food and water, but it wasn’t enough anyway.

I swallowed and forced myself to hold back my thirst. But suddenly the door opened with a knock. I was a little glad that my mother had brought water and food.

But opening the door and coming in was a welcome presence hundreds of times more than that. It was definitely younger and smaller than when we first met, but it was definitely Werner’s childhood look.

“Werner-sama…?”

Werner then approached me with a worried expression.

“Glacey-sama, are you feeling well…?”

To be honest, every muscle in my body was screaming. The price of a vampire’s blood runaway is heavy, and once runaway, he can’t move for several days due to muscle pain.

“I heard that the vampire’s blood ran out of control.”

“With Werner-nim collapsing, I don’t know why…”

Unbeknownst to me, my voice cracked. I must have had a cracked throat from not drinking water for too long. It was embarrassing to the point of dying to show such rudeness in front of Werner.

“I’m so sorry… I’m unknowingly thirsty…”

“hahahaha, you did this on purpose because your sister was punishing you.”

I tried to release the restraints, but the restraints my mother made with blood magic were not easily released. In particular, since my mother was the queen of vampires, her power was even more compatible with those with vampire blood flowing inside her body like me.

“I can’t release Glaceon-sama’s restraints with my authority… but at least it will be possible to quench your thirst.”

“Yes…?”

Werner closed his eyes for a moment, put his hands together, and began to recite a spell.

“Pure water, put it in my hands.”

Then, clean water glistened in young Werner’s hand. Also, his magic was always amazing.

“Did you make this kind of magic…?”

“Exactly, this is a magic developed by a friend.

There was little water in the small bracken hand, not the one used to hold me, but at least it was enough to quench my thirst. The water was sweet and warm.

“Can I get you some more?”

“No… that’s enough.”

Eventually, Werner hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.

“I’m sorry for saying this all of a sudden… but I think I’ll have to go up to the capital.”

“The capital…? Why do you have to go there?”

As I recall, Werner clearly hated the capital. Werner was tired of the rotten aristocrats and authoritarianism there.

“…because I have a reason to do so.”

I couldn’t understand. I didn’t want this person to be treated like that again, so I tried desperately. If Werner becomes my husband, no one will look down on him.

But he was willing to walk into the den of scum.

“For what reason do you want to go back there?”

“I can’t give you more details.”

“Then why are you trying to leave here… because of how valuable that reason is?”

“It’s like my life.”

If there’s a reason he has to go back to the dump he hates so much…

“Then I will follow.”

“Yes…?”

Wherever he had to go, he would follow, not even a dump, but an inferno.

“I’d appreciate it if you would follow me… but then, Glaceon-sama’s job was…”

“Most of the work can be done in the capital city through Jeon Seo-eung or communication district.”

It was all for Werner’s sake that I tried to inherit the title in the first place. Without him… this title has no meaning.

“hahahaha… I don’t know what to do with this.”

Werner suddenly kissed my forehead. I can’t look in the mirror now, but my cheeks must have turned red.

“Then, I will wait until the punishment period that Sister Melissa said is over.”
