Fate/Inheritance

Chapter 22 - 21: Vampire and a ‘Sweet’ Proposition

Looking at the man who is clapping at us with amus.e.m.e.nt I was startled a bit. Not because of how he just appeared in a corner nor how his clothes do not fit in what environment we have but his race.

We already met one in this world and I even met a much more dangerous and powerful strain of their race at home. The nobles of darkness as they said. They had many titles living up to their name, legends carved in our history mostly in Europe but most of all they were famous for how contradictory their nature is. A monster that dances in the night. Beings who with their ageless body seeks the blood of mortal men or women they set their eyes on. Nobleness in their act of strange way's that is inhumane. There is even a particular Heroic Spirit that is considered their staple and main model but the guy hates it personally to the core. A vampire here in front of us wearing what could be considered a black styled noble clothing of the Middle Ages.

With his red eyes and pale skin, he looked at each of us like when you examine things or articles in auction houses. He particularly paused when he looks at the faces of the females in our group but he widens his eyes a bit when he sees James' sword, Hamir's aura, Yamada who had his weapons ready and lastly to me. After he looked at us he made a graceful bow typical of what nobles or butlers do and with tone snarling with sarcasm he said;

"Greetings to the young heroes and soldiers from Romeneria Kingdom, especially you lil' Felix~ my name is Alfonse, a vampire from the house of my lady Elizabeth." – Alfonse

Looking teasingly at Captain Felix it seems they had history by how the man is gripping his sword tightly. Noticing he might do something rash I grabbed his shoulder making him break out of his stupor. Nodding in thanks he confronted the creature dressed in noble skin.

"What are you planning to do vampire?" – Felix

"Ohya~ no wonder Falna left you~ such an uncouth man I am merely here to observe such beautiful humans~. Ahya~ please don't look at me like that~ Falna only chose a better man which was me~." – Alfonse

"…Shut up you filthy bloodsucker! State why you appeared, in front of us!" – Felix

Looking at the duo in front of me hitting jabs at each other somehow I can already piece what happened. Looking sympathetically at the man beside me Lancer's voice echoed near my ears.

[Tch, these bastards tend to always have a hobby to this kinds of things. Watch out also kid they may look like those vampires from my world they may have abilities unknown to us.] – Lancer

Accepting his warnings, I looked at the vampire who is hitting jabs at Felix and secretly tried to recover my prana, I slightly expended a bit due to putting a huge chunk of it to the spear I stabbed at the ogre. Looking around I found out that the escape routes had already been blocked by what seems to be flocks of shadow familiars that took the shape of bats. I already signaled Yamada to prepare and also told Ruby to deploy a Bounded Field if necessary, if we fight it might cause a cave in because we need to exert with all we got in this kind of stuff. Looking back at the vampire it seems he had been slightly disappointed that Felix did not rush at him with murderous intent earning the praise of Lancer for being still levelheaded despite facing someone who took the one he loved.

"*sigh* How disappointing lil' Felix~ Well you were not the purpose I was here anyway but the 'noble' heroes over there~" – Alfonse

"Sorry but we do not have the time addressing someone who NTR's other people's love one." Snarled Yamada who seems ready to pounce at him.

"Hmm~? NTR? Is that a word from your world? I seem to understand a bit of what you are implying but for a fellow citizen of the night you sure are rough and rude as those idiotic werewolves. Still I guess I will let it slide for now~ I have a proposition for you fair ladies and sirs an invitation of sort." Alfonse twitched his eyebrow mentioning werewolves. It seems the relationship of this two races tend to really be bad both in fiction and reality.

"Invitation you say? I believe what you may say will tend to deviate from what we believe in so I think we will refuse it. Will you please leave us for now? We need to return to the capital for we are a bit tired in our recent fight." It seems James noticed that the vampire is stronger than us and tried the civil approach but sadly we will be forced due to the next move he pulled out.

"Oh~ Leaving so soon? You seemed to have a noble heart, will you leave right now without getting this poor and weak ladies?" Alfonse said sarcastically while a black smoke appeared in front of him where a group of women with heavy injuries here and there but the thing that pissed us off really is some of them have bulging stomachs.

"You… what the f.u.c.k did you do!" Hamir roared when he looked at the lost eyes of the women. It seems he is not of a bad person to look like a pissed off demon with that distorted face of his.

"Hey~ hey~ don't look at me like that~ I'm innocent this time around~. These poor ladies were merely taken by those human bandits and was 'given' to the goblins. Really, you humans are really the vilest creatures to even sacrifice your own kind for profit." The f.u.c.ker merely stated so. I do know that humans tend to do this kind of things but to be said from the mouth of someone who steal the wives of others really tends to tick me off.

"Now that you have a reason to stay shall I state the main purpose I have to come this deep to human territory?" Alfonso said and waited for us to nod. For such an annoying prick we need to save those girls from that guy's hands. I cannot imagine what horrifying experience they had felt but if we left this guy with them they may turn into something they themselves will feel disgusted with. After nodding we accepted his proposition to listen of what kind he will say.

"Well the thing I will say is an invitation that has few people especially humans had been given to. But before that Falna dear you can come out now~." Aflonso said looking at the ceiling. Startled we looked up just in time for a human silhouette to drop down and hugged him while giving him a deep French kiss causing the girls to blush and avert their eyes. I already need to support Felix who had nearly collapsed due to seeing the girl he once had promised his love. I already got a clear look at the vampire lady that had appeared but I really knew why this jerk took her for her beauty can even rival Leticia.

"Really~ we were just a few meters apart and you do this? Look lil' Felix is already shaking why don't you greet him~." – Alfonso said after he separated from Falna. Looking much closer I noticed something wrong in how the lady acted for a second it was subtle but I felt it surely.

[Your senses was not deceiving you. That woman even if it's masked properly has a strong mental control type put on her. I can sense that it is strong enough to even affect someone who had been turned into a vampire. Careful kid it seems your enemy this time has strong repertoire in magic spells that can affect the mind, it won't affect you because I'm here but your buddies may not fare well especially that man called Felix. His willpower is already starting to crumble.] – Lancer said in a very grave tone. But the thing that matters to me the most is how to save her and he said that I must kill the caster which is this guy in front, we don't know yet the way how vampirism works here but the only way we can incapacitate her without truly killing her is by knocking her out.

In our quick conversation it seems that Falna treated Felix as trash and ignored him totally while only focusing on the prick. He already started his speech about inviting us to become a vampire under this woman called Elizabeth who is also the Heavenly King with the designation of Sloth promising long life, etc...

Yamada, retorting about the titles made them had a rough argument making the vampire pissed off. Noticing I already had the proper amount of prana I secretly already signaled the people at the back and deploying a Bounded Field that won't let the guy leave and information to be transmitted. S.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to the changes around him, the guy looked shock a bit and finally focused on me.

"Ho~ Such an excellent deployment of a barrier, hmm it felt stiff in some parts so perhaps you used a tool to do it. Looking closely, you have the features of that 'demigod' based on the rumors and intelligence we got, perhaps are you interested in my lady's invitation?" Looking at me and tempting such an offer I nearly laughed at such an idiot and merely said.

"Sorry I ain't interested in becoming something that leeches blood from other's especially turning into someone like you who resorts to mental manipulation spells to get a girl" I stated while pointing at him and grinning sarcastically.

"Hoo~ for you to notice as expected of a demigod I guess~ Well for you lot who declined such beautiful prospects a proper burial is necessary!" Alfonse roared and his arms alongside Falna who prepared for combat with lost eyes.

"Let's turn this prick into ashes everyone!" I roared while telling Sapphire to activate what I asked her to do.

[Preparation Complete, Mystic Code ready, Compact Full Open. Boundary Pathway Maximum Release! Additional Sequence, Install Class Card: Lancer! Lancer Class ready! Prism Trance start!] – Sapphire

Then a prismatic light engulfed the room.

Vampires

"So will you accept our proposal?" – Alfonse

"Wait a sec. Ruby call gramps a bit." – William

[Hmm gaki why call this early?] – Zelretch

"Well Gramps there's a dude here asking me to let someone turn me into a vampire" – William

[…Hou~ *looks at Alfonse who is already shaking* for your master to ask William to turn into a vampire is one crazy idea. Tell your master that I'm going to pay a 'visit' in the near future] – Zelretch

"Y-yes! Milord!" – Alfonse

Black Keys

"I really need a lot of Black Keys this time… Why did I throw them…" – William

"Damn you Kotomine Kirei." – Yamada
