Chapter 494: Is Agnes No Longer Married?
Victor walked past the Snow Clan members and thought:
'Well, I can understand their reaction; apart from the obvious fact of her race, her appearance is quite similar to that of the members of the Snow Clan, and only one woman in the entire Clan would stand so close to me like Leona is doing now, and that woman is Violet.'
He completely missed the look Leona gave him for a few seconds.
As he walked through the halls, he thought about his decision.
Victor didn't have that middle ground; he was either 0 or 100 and didn't sit on the fence of indecision when deciding something.
He was just calmly delaying things, waiting for something...
He was waiting for his strength to grow... Enough to face an ex-Werewolf General.
He didn't want to rely on his uncontrolled power. After all, doing so would harm himself. Instead, he wanted a fight entirely under his control.
But, as with the Scathach case, Victor had no patience; the nagging voice of obsession in his head wouldn't leave him alone.
Especially now when he noticed the blatant look Leona was giving him. It was evident that the woman was also running out of patience, and little hints of possession, jealousy, and envy emanated from her body.
He didn't want to wait any longer, he didn't know if his strength was enough or not, but he would prepare.
With enough preparation, he could achieve any goal. Something he learned from his beloved wife, Ruby.
Another reason he didn't want to wait any longer was that he wasn't sure whether Leona would wait any longer. What if she snapped and decided to move on? After all, of all the women he knew, Leona was much more 'normal'. She was not like him, Scathach, Violet, Natashia, or even his Maids.
Knowing himself, he knew that if he saw her with another man or if she moved on, the relationship between his childhood friends would break down.
Because Victor wouldn't be able to hold back and would kill this man.
The chances of that happening were low; after all, Leona's feelings for him were too strong to give up on him so easily, and her pride as an Alpha Werewolf wouldn't allow her to lower her head in defeat. However, Victor believed he needed to sort this out in the near future to prevent any mishaps.
Victor is and always has been an extremely possessive Yandere.
It was no wonder he saw himself in that pink-haired girl from the anime he watched many years ago.
Evidence for this was also seen from the various 'bodies' of Vampires he'd burned to ashes and erased from the registry with the help of his mothers-in-law Natashia and Scathach.
'Ed and I need to talk. We made that promise so that fights wouldn't happen between us friends; after all, we knew how beautiful Andrew's mother, my mother, and Leona were.'
Victor being what he was, if Andrew, with his older woman fetishes, set his sights on his mother, childhood friend or not, the man would disappear.
Those thoughts had never changed even before he was a Vampire. He just 'suppressed' those thoughts because of unseen pressure from society; after all, making someone 'disappear' was a crime, and he would go to jail; the other reason was that he was weak.
But now?
Victor was the very definition that power brings out the true nature of an individual, and that was the purest truth.
He had eliminated individuals, committed mass genocide, and killed beings of all factions who'd decided to take advantage of his daughter.
He had made countless enemies of which he didn't even know the names.
Rules and conventional laws no longer limited Victor.
He now lived exclusively by his own Will.
And many times, his desires were very hypocritical... But it was not like it was anything new.
...
"You really did that..." That was all Violet could say when she saw the state of her mother, who was standing in the middle of a very familiar magic circle and at the same time not.
"It took longer than expected, but... Yes, I did."
"Sigh... I wonder how my husband will react; knowing him, he must already be coming here at high speed; after all, he must have felt the connection between you two being cut off."
Agnes didn't deny her daughter's words; she knew they were true:
"The principle of the ritual to dissolve the marriage made by the ritual is the 'approval' of the two partners. Victor already gave his approval when he talked to me; because of that, everything went smoothly."
"But that doesn't change the fact that it was so sudden... this whole situation," Violet replied.
"It's better this way."
"If you say so." Violet rolled her eyes; she definitely didn't agree with these methods, but this was a problem between her mother and her husband, and she had no right to pry...
... Who is she trying to fool?
It wasn't that she didn't want to meddle. She just knew her mother and knew she wouldn't change her mind so easily; she was just too stubborn...
And the more decisively her mother wanted to be away from her husband, the better!
'I will be the only wife who does not have my own mother together with my husband!' She thought of this as her victory, a victory she would lord over Ruby and Sasha.
"Hmm?" Feeling her cell phone vibrating, she picked up the phone and opened the wives' chat group.
Violet: What?
Ruby: Darling, you're heading back to Nightingale, specifically to the Snow Clan.
Violet's eyes opened wide, and quickly she focused her senses upward; the place she was now was underground, a hidden place that only the Snow Clan leader, her heir, and Hilda herself knew of. This place was where 'Confidential' stuff happened.
Sensing Victor's connection, she smiled widely:
"He's finally back!"
Because of her happiness, Violet completely missed the change in Agnes' gaze.
Her golden eyes went from ones full of vitality to ones of emptiness faster than her own daughter's, and that look lingered for a long time and only returned to normal when Violet lowered her head and looked at her cell phone again.
