Chapitre 127: True Vampire III
It took the frightened Jane a while to manage to squeeze a few words after that previous atmosphere... Even then, she knew it wasn't that he hated her for asking that or anything of the like, it was more like the hatred he felt over that special event in particular.
Catherine was about to stand up and go to his side to try and comfort him, but they didn't have the time to think anything, because the moment they blinked, the next nanosecond a tall woman was standing right beside Alucard!
!!!
*GASP!*
'Do they take fancy on shocking people!' Unlike before, this time Jane was truly shocked and scared witless!
Because the woman in front of them looked simply horrendous! Blood Splattered all over her white dress, her hair seemed as if she just went through the dirtiest of muds, and overall, her appearance looked hideous!
The 'creature' turned around and 'flashed' them a smile with her accursed face and red shining eyes!
Alcina giggled as a shadow enveloped her whole body like a whirlwind, and the next second, she was back to her seductive busty self, dressed in her business clothes with combinations of Black, red and white, going on par with Catherine and Alucard.
"Y-You! Why didn't you appear like this at first!?" Jane had to confess that she had been at the border of pissing herself there and then!
If instead of the whole light coming from the sun and the windows... It had been a dark environment, forget about pissing, she would have shit herself and faint right at that instant!
Catherine also flashed Alcina a hideous glare.
"It's not fun that way, is it?~" She said and waved her hand, where her antique cigarette appeared before sitting beside Alucard, making sure to lean her whole body on his as her breast pushed on his arm, slanting yet another glare from Catherine, and also... Jane.
"I'm back, Master~. I was supposed to wait for the two of you in China but... Might as well just come here instead, I can't stay away from you for long~" She kissed his cheek as Alucard moved one arm to envelop her shoulder.
He smiled and caressed her silky black hair that was covered by her graceful hat, "You did a good job Alcina. How many were there?"
"Three thousand~" She giggled and enjoyed his caresses, they made her forget the accursed images from last night, she also didn't forget to shoot Catherine a mocking glare, which only made the latter shake in irritation.
Meanwhile, Jane was rooted in her place, thinking... Three thousand, what?...
'So what if you got three thousand souls? I still had him all night~' Alcina then heard Catherine's voice in her mind, surprisingly and shot her a glare only to get a giggle in return.
'Hmph, once my punishment ends... We will see if he will have time to go to your bed again. Your advantage is just temporal Catherine.' The countess had naturally heard her master claim that Catherine was his 'favourite' and as expected the real threat wasn't Lin Ruoxi who didn't hold the advantage due to her being incapable of taming her 'other self'.
Instead, the real threat was Catherine...
It was only natural that she was his favourite after she was the first one he met. But she would make sure to dethrone the Queen soon.
'I thought we were friends...' Catherine then sent with 'puppy' eyes.
'Hmph! What friends? I'll let master keep you since he likes you quite a bit, but you will have to be content with the remains...'
'I taught you everything you know, Alcina...' Catherine sent back with dejection.
'W-What do you mean!? You only taught me to give fellatio! that's all!?' What's wrong with this Queen?! Talking as if she taught her how to walk!
'I don't want to fight... I believe we can coexist, both of us are very important to him...' Although Catherine wasn't fond of sharing, she also knew that Alucard wasn't a simple existence, her level of infatuation had reached the point where she could tolerate anything, as long as he didn't leave her.
'Cease your nonsense, you think like that because you're weak... If our positions were inversed, you'd have taken the same decision, I have already stated my position, so don't try to gamble your way out of this.' One year from now one, they would fight, and although she didn't intend to kill Catherine... Nor was she capable of after she became omnipresent... She'd still make sure the latter understood she was the 'number two'.
While the two of them had their back and forth, Jane questioned Alucard.
"What does she mean by three thousand?" She had a rough idea but didn't want to think that was truly the case.
"She harvested three thousand souls..." Alucard said nonchalantly, as if a whole colony of ants were just slaughtered, much to her apprehension.
"She killed three thousand people just like that..." Staring down, she couldn't understand how he could be so calm after stating something so grave.
Those were three thousand people... In a day...
"If it makes you feel better, they were mostly evil people..." Not that he cared.
"Mostly..." She then shot him a glare.
"..."
"What about me, would you kill me like that as well?" She asked and her voice contained some fear, fear of his answer.
...
"You're Catherine's daughter... And you seem to be misunderstanding something. We don't go about just killing anyone. We Nosferatu become stronger the more souls we harvest. In order to keep the balance in this world, we feed on the evil that's not influential in the great scheme of things... For example, she just killed some thugs and cartels in El Salvador and Colombia..."
"You say non-influential!? Their death will create power vacuums!" She shouted and gained her mother's and Alcina's attention as the latter shot her a glare that said, 'stop shouting.'
"Maybe... But those power vacuums won't affect the whole world."
"A thug in the streets and the president of the Russian Federation? Which one do you think is eviler?" the count asked after sipping some wine.
"... The president..." She answered without the slightest doubt.
"If I kill both of them, whom do you think is truly going to influence the life of common folk..."
"... The president..."
"Let alone, I won't just kill the thug... I will swallow the whole gang and maybe even the drug-addict customers. Similarly, I won't just kill the president, I will swallow his whole chain of corruption. Do you see now, why I choose to swallow the gang? I'm doing you all a favour. Sometimes, evil is necessary as is light. There are ways to eradicate evil, I am not one of them..." She didn't understand, until his next line.
"Those that eradicate monsters... are always humans." He said with glazed eyes and his words left her breathless.
He took the last sip, only to notice that miraculously, his cup was empty.
...
"Do you want champagne~?" Jane then asked with a newfound light smile, interested in the conversation they just had, her eyes that stared at his, were totally different from before.
Alucard lifted his eyebrows and nodded only to get more surprised when instead of serving him in his own cup, she directly gave him the cup she had been drinking from... With a wink.
Her actions earned her a glare from the two draculines, specially Alcina.
Alucard smirked and drank from her cup, directly from the place her lips had been prior, as her eyes stared at him with unashamed desire!
...
"You're quite audacious to do this in front of me girl~ Aren't you afraid I'll throw out of this plane?~ Your mother there won't be able to stop me." Alcina's eyes turned red, how dare this little bitch seduce her master in front of her!?
As irritated as Catherine was, she still chooses to side with her daughter and threw a glare Alcina's way.
As for Alucard... He'd let them solve this issue themselves as he stared at the plane's window where China could be seen in the distance, for now, he'd enjoy his champagne that had a rather marvellous taste due to the last ingredient's addition.

The flight lasted for another hour and the tensions accompanied them through the whole journey.
Jane had enough balls to even ask Alcina about herself, telling her mother that she should take advantage of the 'status quo' to get rid of any enmity there could be between them.
No matter how greedy or overbearing Alcina was, it didn't change the fact that she couldn't do anything to them as it wouldn't please Alucard.
In the end, Alcina even told her about herself with a smirk.
Her identity as the ex-countess of Transilvania. That she had lived too long ago to even remember the exact date, that she had three daughters that were no longer with her and that she was a wine producer and seller.
Upon hearing her tale, Jane frowned a little as some memories flashed past her head, but decided to leave it at that.
Eventually, they landed and after using her passport, Catherine was officially Caitlin for outsiders.
Her beauty captivated all the people present as they walked to the parking lot.
"What are we going to do now?~" Jane asked enthusiastically, looking around to seek their driver.
Alucard smirked as his shadow rumbled in the dark parking lot and his Ferrari Italia appeared in front of them
Jane couldn't help but think of how convenient that power was... But still, this car is too small for them all...
"WE, are going to make a little journey to the north. You, can go and look at your boyfriend for now or do whatever you want to do. I'll lend you my car." Said the count and prepared to depart much to Catherine's surprise who didn't think they would go 'hunt' so soon!
"W-Wait husband, I'm not mentally prepared!" She tried to struggle but the next second Alcina took her like a bag of potatoes!
"Y-You!" The Queen struggled and twisted but it was useless...
Alcina gave her master a look and he nodded, with that Alcina set flight taking Catherine with her!
"YOOUUUU!!!" The howls of the poor Queen were heard by nobody...
...
Jane stood there thinking of the words he just said with complicated feelings, does he want her to leave so badly?
She got in the car where the keys were already in place, waiting for her to start it... But she didn't move, she remained in place as Alucard looked at her.
...
"I don't attract you... Even if just a bit? Do you see me as a kid as well?" She then asked, not starting at him but instead, to the front, wondering why the two of them evaded her so...
Was she not attractive? How come even as a 'princess' and a 'genius' the two people she feels attraction towards, are always pushing her away... Especially Yang Chen.
Alucard sighed and approached the window of his car, "You're not a little girl, Jane."
He approached her head and whispered to her ears, "You're a very intelligent woman, with enough charm to topple kingdoms. Me letting you go to your 'boyfriend' is me giving you, the last opportunity to choose~" His words settled in her mind and made her blush, she felt him kiss her cheek softly and his breath caused her blonde hair to stand on an end.
Slowly she turned her head around until their eyes were locked once again, and didn't hold back from claiming his lips in a heated kiss!
...
"HMN~" Her curiosity let loose as she finally managed to at least kiss him, pushing her tongue out to try everything she had wanted to try and entangle their tongues in a waltz.
The searing kiss lasted for a whole minute and she felt Alucard pull out much to her disappointment, but his head remained close to hers.
"That's enough for now, now go back to your 'boyfriend'~", He said with a voice that sounded like the embodiment of temptation to her. She wanted to kiss him again but his whole body moved, and the next second, he wasn't there anymore.
The princess remained in her car for the next twenty minutes, trying to decipher the enigma that was her feelings, as the passion transmitted from that kiss, threatened to overthrow everything she had believed so far.
She could only trace her lips, that had been her first kiss... She had her first kiss, with her mother's husband, her step-father...
And she didn't regret it... No, the thought only thrilled her more with a sense of ecstasy that threw her curiosity and mind into shambles.
...
Releasing a sigh, eventually, she drove as the Ferrari's engine growled, she needed answers.
