Chapter 48 An unexpected ally

Chapter 48

An unexpected ally

“I am just an acquaintance of the people who were kidnapped by your companions….

And please answer my questions, I don’t have much time.”

“ ..How many times do I have to tell you, I am not their companion and if you want to save your friends or whatever its impossible unless you have someone powerful such as an S rank adventurer or an army…..

But seeing as you came here alone, it does not seem the case, does it?...

So stop wasting my time and forget them. They are as good as dead. I have to leave now so go away. This is my house you know?”

“Don’t you fudging say that and answer me!”

I lost my temper due to anxiety and fired a rock bullet that passed very close to her face.

“Hieee!”

“I told you I am serious, if you will not tell me, then you will also have to die.””

I pointed the wand straight to her face and started saying the chant again.

I know it will not work though because of 10 second cooldown, but right now I am not in state of thinking properly.

“I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you! Don’t fire that. Please!”

She begged and bowed so I stopped my chant in the middle.

I don’t know how many times more I will have to threaten her, to make her speak the truth.

“Firstly, I’ll tell you that the vampires you are talking about are probably my uncle’s underlings.”

“so you are related after all huh?”

“Listen to me first, please”

“Go on”

“My uncle wants to evolve into a rare higher vampire species…..

For that purpose he need to suck blood of 1000 virgin women who have high mana in their bodies. That is what he believes at least.”

Oh no! Then they would be killed or maybe he would make them vampire after drinking their blood.

“And that’s not the worst thing you have to worry about. My uncle is a cruel person…..

He suck women dry while fulfilling his sexual desire. Basically he kills them.”

Shit shit shit shit. What the hellllll. I banged the nearby table in rage.

That made Charlotte jump in fear.

Blood started coming out of my fist.

“Umm…Can you heal your wound…I would….otherwise may…attack you..”

What now!!! What the hell! I don’t have time for this.

Shit, I am going mad in rage. I banged the table again and again saying no again and again and after some time I did not know when I was crying.

Finally stopping, I saw Charlotte was holding her nose and trying to suppress herself.

One of her fang was peeking out of corner of her lips. Her eyes were shining red.

I remembered that she was vampire and she was probably suppressing herself from drinking my blood.

I took the wound heal potion from the ground, applied it and washed off the blood from my hand.

Surprisingly Charlotte sat there quietly still trying to suppress her rough breathing.

“Sorry, I lost my temper for a while. I am calm now….

Please tell me, if you know if it is possible that they might not have been killed”

“…Haa haa haa. That’s Haa.. not impossible. Because from what I heard, there is a ritual that needs to be done for becoming the rare species….

He needs to consume all 1000 people on a particular night. So they might be still be alive….

And since they need to be kept virgin, they would not be harmed till then atleast”

“You should have told me that first you know. You just gave me a heart attack you know?”

“Its not my fault! I told you to listen to me first. But you suddenly started banging the table like crazy. That table is expensive you know.”

“Sorry. So anyway, you said they were kept alive. So do you know where they are being kept?”

“No, not surely but I do know some of the hideouts of our family in this area. I used them myself for hiding after all.”

“You used them from hiding you say, but are you not with your uncle?”

“Of course not, as I told you so many times already he and his cronies are after my life.”

“What? Does he want your blood too?”

“I don’t know, its a complicated situation. You don’t need to know about that do you?

“No, but I want to know, I need to make sure that you are not playing me for a fool. Tell me so that I can be sure that you are not my enemy.”

“…I don’t really want to tell anyone though….

Fine! but don’t tell anyone, otherwise they would track me down…

But I am going to flee way as soon as you go anyways so it would not matter.”

“That’s OK just tell me already”

“Its nothing new, just another inheritance struggle. My grandfather, our head was killed before he could decide on a successor….

He was born as the rare breed. But neither my father nor my uncle inherited that…..

They were born as simple vampires. My father was the older one and it was decided by the council that he would succeed…..

My uncle didn’t like this and so he revolted. He attacked our house and killed many of our followers and even my mother and sister….

My family died protecting me and allowing me to escape….

Then I came here and settled here. I hid here as a potions seller since I was quite good at it and making potions was my hobby…..

But my uncle didn’t stop pursuing me, because the elder vampires did not acknowledge him as a ruler since there was a rare breed already present in the ruling family…..

And that was me. Yup, I inherited my grandpa’s rare breed….

The elder vampires are very powerful. Although nobody has seen them but whenever their order arrives, it becomes a law.

So my uncle had to either eliminate me or become a rare breed himself…

Then my uncle learnt of this ritual to evolve into a rare species himself from some ancient texts….

So he is gathering mage girls from all the neighboring countries….

Since he needs non vampire girls for the ritual, he cannot do that in our village as our village mainly has vampires….

I never thought he would cause trouble in the powerful nation of Neopatras but it seems that his thirst for power has made him mad….

Moreover if he finds me, he would definitely kill me as that would make him sole successor to the throne……. Haaaaaa….”

She took a long breath after saying that in one go. She spoke all that so fast in one breath as if it was being kept under pressure for a very long time.

Seems like she really wanted to tell that to someone unlike what she told.

But she did say throne at the end. Is she a princess of a village?

Honestly I don’t know much about other countries so I cannot say. But she definitely has a long ass name with three words ‘Charlotte Izora Wellington’.

But with this my doubts are clear. She seems to be telling the truth and her name seems royal enough to me.

Now then lets ask her how much is she willing to help.

“Well I am sorry for that. But if that was so then you could have helped me instead from the beginning, since we our dealing with the same enemy here.”

“.. As much as I want to, but I don’t think you can defeat him….

The last thing I want is my information being leaked to him through you….

Even now I cannot believe myself that I am telling you this. I will have to run at full speed after this.”

“Really but I did beat you now”

“Oh, don’t compare me with him, its true I am a rare breed and I have some special perks…

But my uncle is a 150 year old vampire and has many followers. He even has someone who can incite a stampede…..

I am just a baby in front of him. Can you really beat someone like that?....

If you believe that, then go ahead for all I care, but it would be helpful if you don’t spill out my information if you get captured”

She is right and I can’t refute that but I need to find a way.

“Don’t the vampires have some sort of weakness like against light magic or something like that. Can’t you give me a little more information on that?”

“…”

She went silent and her eyebrows wrinkled as if thinking deeply about something.

Even with that expression she is pretty hot. Now that I have calmed down a little, I am seeing the details I did not notice until now.

Since she is at home so she is wearing very light clothing which is almost see-through.

Her body is way beyond bombastic. Her purple hair and red eyes with long red eyelashes are also very enticing.

Moreover those velvet red lips with a single fang peeking out from side is truly definition of sexy.

I need to cool my head. Just what am I thinking at a crucial time like this.

First I need to know about the location of the kidnapped people, then if possible find out about a way to defeat vampires.

While I was thinking this, Charlotte opened her mouth.

“I really don’t want to betray my race even though its for defeating my enemy…..

but since you seem like you would go no matter what and you have good conceal skills to even trick even my blood sensing….

even though you are virgin, so it would be better for me to increase your chances so that you donot get caught and give away my information…..

So I will help you a little.”

She recited her own reasons for helping me as if making an excuse like a tsundere.

“Yeah , Ok thank you, that would be very helpful, also if you could tell exactly when is the day when the ceremony of evolving into rare breed will take place.”

“I’ll tell you that too ok, so listen carefully”
