Chapter 752: An Agreement Between Monarchs 1

Chapter 752: An Agreement Between Monarchs 1

Tasha, Volk, Maya, the Alphas present here, and even Victor's own Maids didn't know how to react when they heard what Victor wanted.

"He wants me...?" Tasha was in disbelief. She couldn't believe what she just heard.

'What does he mean by 'he wants me'?' Tasha's mind spun for answers: 'Does he want me in a sexual sense? Or something from me?'

She didn't believe for a second that Victor wanted her in the same way that her husband was probably thinking right now. He didn't seem like that kind of man, She also wouldn't accept that kind of request even if it were to help Fenrir. She'd rather take a risk 1000 times more perilous, like talking to a Primordial Goddess like Tiamat and Gaia, than give herself to another man she didn't like. Tasha Fenrir was not a whore.

Her mind started to wander, and she began to think about the possibility of relating to Victor that way, and she realized that she didn't feel as much disgust as she thought she would.

'Hmm... It must be because he's perfect as a companion.' Tasha understood where her thinking came from. Victor had everything a woman related to the Supernatural World would want from a man, power, good looks, attitude, and above all, security. It was with 100% certainty that any woman in a relationship with the Demon King would always be protected.

After all, who would be mad enough to fight the Demon King? She could count on her hands the number of Beings with power and an army capable of accomplishing this feat, and as far as she knew, Victor had no problems with any of those people.

"Alucard ..." Volk growled as a frightening pressure was released from his body and spread to everyone around. Everyone could clearly see that the King was very close to losing his mind.

"Tell me specifically what you want before I lose my mind!"

"..." Victor looked with amused eyes at Volk.

'Interesting, he's more rational than I thought' The misleading words had several goals in mind, the first of which was to test Volk's mentality.

A mentality that did not disappoint. Even if caught off guard, the King of Werewolves did not completely lose his cool.

The second objective was to test the other observer. Victor knew very well that Tasha was observing this meeting. He could clearly 'see' her staring at them with his eyes. Consequently, by knowing where she was Victor could also sense Tasha's emotions even from far away.

'Such a loyal woman... And at the same time so practical. Volk was lucky that she chose him.'

Victor could see very well that the one who chose to be in this relationship was clearly Tasha and that, over time, feelings began to grow between the two.

[Victor, I found him.] Suddenly, Victor heard Big Guy's voice.

[Oh? Where is he?]

[Behind the Castle, in a different Sub-space that can only be accessed through a portal and is completely hidden... Just as we expected, his situation is as you predicted]

[I see... That's good...] Victor spoke, satisfied: [Did you manage to alter the portal?]

[Yes, my Queen helped me... But there was a small problem... The World Tree of this planet knows we are here now, and she didn't like my Queen messing with her stuff.]

Victor's eyes gleamed menacingly, giving off a feeling so cold that everyone around him cringed.

[Roxanne.]

[I'm fine, Victor. Our Father was very clear about conflicts between World Trees. She wouldn't attack me unless I specifically attacked her... She just didn't like that I messed with her portals.]

The gleam in Victor's eyes visibly dimmed, and the people around him were able to breathe more easily.

Of course, the people around didn't know about Victor's internal dilemmas. The only ones who could have known about it were the Maids, who had known Vietor the longest, and Roberta, who was literally feeling Victor's emotions.

To the Werewolves, however, it seemed that Victor didn't like Volk's tone again, and because of that, he threatened him, raising his pressure.

[Be careful, don't get in trouble.] Victor warned her.

[Don't worry, I'll go back now, i don't like the look of my sisters either:]

Sisters? Plural?]

[Yes, not only the World Tree of Positivity, but The World Tree of Negativity noticed me as well, and they are watching me.]

[Go back right now.]

[Yes.] Roxanne didn't argue and quickly returned to Victor's Soul.

[Big Guy, protect the girls.]

[No need to say it; I'm already on my way, and stop calling me that, Just give me a name soon.]

[That's Roxanne's job, not mine.]

[Unfortunately, she already tried to do that, but I refused all the names she came up with. My Queen was born with many talents, but naming sense was not one of them.]

[Oyy! What's wrong with my naming sense!]

[The problem started when you tried to call me Snyde-Catlo!]

[What's the matter with Snyde-Clatlo!? It's a good name!]

[Only in your illusionary world!]

[Y-You - I am your Queen, you know!? Aren't you supposed to treat me with respect!?] Roxanne looked quite shocked by her treatment.

Seeing that the situation on Roxanne's side was back to normal, Victor returned his focus to the current situation and answered Volk's question.

"I want information that Tasha Fenrir has in her hand.

The pressure of Volk's gaze began to ease: "... What kind of information?"

"The kind involving the disciple of a rather interesting Human and her connection to a certain Coven of Witches."

Tasha opened her eyes wide when she heard what Victor said. She got up from her chair and stared at Victor:

"How does he know about the Witches!" This was a secret that only a select few knew, and within those select few were only her most trustworthy Betas, and when Tasha gave a person the adjective 'trustworthy' it meant that that person was completely at her mercy.

'That is, those Betas who knew this information were all controlled by her like puppets without emotion or will.

Not even her husband knew about this secret.

Which explained the strange expression on Volk's face.

He could understand which interesting Human Victor was talking about; he had already met the man who currently bore the name of Hassan-i-Sabbah.

The 'current' Hassan-i-Sabah was not the original. The man was the original Hassan's disciple, who surpassed his Master and earned the Title of 'Hassan-i-Sabah,

The disciple who achieved the feat of becoming immortal and even training a God.

Volk could understand why Victor wanted to find him... But a connection to Witches? Huh?

This was the first time he heard about this information.

Despite not directly dealing with the dark side of running a country, Volk still knew what Tasha was up to through reports and the intimate conversations the two shared.

They were, after all, King and Queen. They ruled all Werewolves together... At least it should've been that way. There should be no 'lies' in their relationship.

Looks like 'Tasha wasn't fulfilling part of her role.

"... Interesting. It seems like you don't know it. And it is happening right under your nose" Victor spoke with amusement.

"What is this it you're talking about, Alucard? What is my wife doing together with the Witches?"

"Hmm, calling these Beings 'Witches' is a bit of a misnomer. After all, they don't use Magic... I think the words 'devout priestesses' are more appropriate... After all, the things they can do would only fit in that context..." Victor spoke absently.

If there was one thing that Victor had Diablo to thank for, it was that... He was a very paranoid bastard. He had information on everything and everyone, which he had accumulated over time, information that current Victor could access with a simple thought.

Due to his 'union' Victor's existence was completely stabilized, which allowed mental training exercises to be possible.

Thanks to this exercise, he could organize his mind better and filter out useless and useful information.

Tt was hard work; he had to go through hundreds of thousands of memories inside his body, but the process was accelerated thanks to Roxanne's cooperation.

"...Again, what are you talking about, Alucard ?" Volk narrowed his eyes.

Victor smiled inwardly when he saw Volk's look of interest and casually stated:

"Tasha Fenrir has a group of-"

"Demon King." Suddenly the door burst open, and Tasha, with messy hair, appeared. She had clearly run all the way to this location.

Which wasn't necessary. She was in the same Castle as them.

"It's a little rude to talk about other people's secrets so openly."

"I think it's ruder to interrupt me, Tasha Fenrir." Victor narrowed his eyes, but inside, he was full of smiles.

Victor was proficient in sowing chaos, and recently, due to his status as a Demon King, he had become a Master at it. It could be uttered that he was as Demonic as any other Demon... Even the Demons themselves were afraid of Victor because that man could spark a civil war in a foreign Kingdom with just his 'kind' words.

A feat that was only possible because he had a lot of powerful people he could use to his advantage.

'Diablo, my friend, I really should have valued you more~.' Victor thought wistfully as though he had lost a very dear and close friend.

Tasha stopped walking mid-step and spoke in a softer voice:

*... Iapologize about that. I did not mean to offend you."

"..." Volk looked at this situation as if he had just received a green hat as a gift.

He didn't know which situation was worse, imagining his wife cheating on him or seeing his wife being so 'submissive' to someone else, a feat he never managed to pull off.

After all, Tasha was never submissive to him, Volk had tried for years, but he never managed to dominate Tasha completely, and with only a few meetings, Victor managed to do that.

Even though nothing happened, Volk felt like he wore a green hat now...

It was worth noting that he was not very happy with all that he was witnessing.

He officially hated Alucard now.

"???" Victor looked confusedly at Volk. Why did he start to hate him all of a sudden? Despite reading body language and being an empath, Victor was not a telepath. He had no idea what Volk's thoughts were.

Though he has an idea why Volk hated him now...

'Well, it's not like his opinion is going to change anything' Victor had reached a stage where the opinion of someone like Volk no longer affected him. After all, why should he care about an ant?

This disdain he felt could be seen as arrogance, but that was completely wrong. Victor would never forget Scathach's teachings, and despite treating others he deemed weaker than him with disdain he still watched them, never letting his guard down. After all, history was littered with powerful people who lost to the weak because they were careless.

"Mm." Victor nodded with a neutral expression and said, "Can you answer my proposal now?"

Victor completely ignored Volk. After all, it was not The King of Werewolves who had something he wanted, but this woman before him.

Tasha visibly stopped and seemed to consider what she should do:

"...Of course... But I would like to know how you came to possess this information. In exchange for knowing that, I'll give you what you want. Is that possible?"

"Yes" Victor smiled neutrally and coldly, and even in his Demon King Form, when he was not emitting such frightening pressure, his beauty was enhanced by a hundredfold, making even Tasha's cold expression falter a bit.

'Damn, man, why must you be so handsome?' She turned her head and walked towards a chair, a gesture that seemed natural.

But to Maya and Volk, it was pretty clear she did so to hide her inner turmoil.

Which made Volk's expression sour even more.

Maya just looked amused at this whole situation. After all, as a woman, she could completely understand Tasha. Victor was truly the bane of all women.

'As expected of a Demon King, I guess.' She thought of amusement, but internally she was very curious about Tasha's secret.

'Is what she's hiding so important that it made her come here in person? Come to think of it, was she watching everything...? What a silly question, of course, she was watching' After all, it was Tasha she was talking about here, a woman who liked to keep everything under her control. Of course, she was going to observe the meeting in some way.

"I learned this information-." When Victor started to speak, Tasha again interrupted him saying:

"Let's talk about it privately!... And I'm sorry for interrupting you again." She spoke softer at the end.

Victor's smile grew a little internally. There was a certain satisfaction in making a 'powerful' Queen act so submissively like that... The sadistic side of him was enjoying this very much.

If gazes could pierce bodies, Victor's body would be completely pierced in every horrible way by Volk's gaze alone.

Volk felt extremely bitter right now, He had never felt like this before in his life. Even though nothing had happened, why was he feeling so betrayed?

Victor looked at Volk and noticed that the Wolf was overthinking. He did not have a betrayal fetish like many people out there.

Now, if the woman gave up on and separated from her husband before running towards him... This situation was not his problem, so everything was fine.

As a man of honor, Victor would never touch a married woman in a happy relationship with her husband.

Victor was many things, but he was not some bastard who wrecked other people's marriages.

Finished with the nonsensical tangent his thoughts had traversed down, Victor decided to finish what he had to do here. He opened his mouth and said:

"Kaguya..."
