"What? How can he be the Lord?" she asked with a baffled look on her face. "He is a human, is he not?"
"He is, but… he is not."
"You are lying, right? You are trying to scare and discipline like you used to when I was a kid."
"No. He is truly the almighty Lord. You can ask princess Rias and princess Jane. Also, why else would the Vampire Monarch allow him to bring us to the human world? You know better than anyone how much he fears the Lord.
He even punished princess Rias so the Lord wouldn't punish her. In fact, even talking with a human is a cri, so there was no way he was going to let any of us co to the human world.
However, master Rudy is the Lord, and the Vampire Monarch couldn't dare to go against his wishes."
"I don't understand!" Vriti panicked. "Since when is he the Lord? And why did no one tell about it? I had no idea!"
The fear of the Lord was naturally inside every living being, whether they believed in him or not. And that fear increased drastically if they sohow angered the Lord.
Vriti realized what she had done, and she couldn't help but tremble. She was prepared to die for her vulgar attitude towards Rudy. However, Rudy had different plans for her.
"There is no need to yell at her like that, Niti. I had asked Virgil to keep it a secret, so it's obviously normal that Vriti wouldn't be aware of it. In fact, I had only told Jane and Rias about it after I was accidentally sent to the human world," Rudy said calmly.
"That's right." Jane nodded and turned to Niti. "Rudy only told Rias, and I happened to be with her at that ti. But how do you know about it, Niti?"
Jane asked her with a judging and suspicious look on her face.
"Umm… I overheard you and Princess Rias talking about it. I swear I never told anyone else!"
"If that's the case, then it's our fault for talking out loud. Don't worry."
That was a lie. Rudy had contacted Niti the sa way he had contacted Rias and Jane to inform them about the matter. Niti was doing her duty at that ti, but Rudy contacted her and told her everything at night.
He had promised Niti to give his fresh milk to her every morning, so he wanted to apologize to her as he would be unable to do that.
Vriti sighed in relief after knowing that her life wasn't in danger, but it was too soon for that.
Rudy turned to Vriti and said, "Still, I can't forget the humiliation you brought to . Not to ntion, you had purposely interrupted my ti with Rias on the balcony the day she woke up. And just today, you tried to play dumb and stall the ti to keep everyone in the vampire world. I can forgive you for the first two, but what you did today is unforgivable."
Vriti hugged herself as her body trembled. She gulped down anxiously and ekly uttered with tears in her eyes, "What can I do to ask for your forgiveness, my L-Lord?"
"....!"
Rudy hadn't expected that reaction.
'What is this feeling I am experiencing right now? Do I have so kind of fetish that turns on when I see a cheeky and haughty girl act ek all of a sudden?'
And thus, one more fetish was added to Rudy's fetish list.
'Anyway, what should I make her do? I don't really have a need for her, but let's not be too harsh on her. I know her reasons for having such a personality, and I don't bla her.'
"Ahem!" Rudy cleared his throat and said, "I want you to accept ."
"Huh?" Vriti's face suddenly turned red.
'Hmm? Why is she blushing? I just asked her to acknowledge as a man suitable for Rias. Why do I think that she misunderstood sothing? I should clear it up before it's too late and I get to—'
"Okay…" Vriti squird a little and nodded ekly. "I will accept you."
'Uhh… yeah. She misunderstood. But oh well, I don't mind if she keeps acting ek like this.'
'I can't believe you managed to seduce her too,' Angelica remarked.
"You can co out now, Angelica."
'I don't feel like revealing myself to them.'
"Co on, stop being all shy. You are acting like how Reina did when I first t her," he chuckled and glanced at Reina.
'Fine~' Angelica groaned.
Typically, it wouldn't be a big deal for Angelica to show herself to the other harem mbers. But that was when they were humans, and she was another being. She felt superiority over them. But she couldn't feel that in front of the vampire gang.
A few seconds later, Angelica ca out of Rudy's body and stood in front of the girls. But after receiving stares from them, she hid behind Rudy and said, "Why are they looking at like that?"
"You forgot to make yourself visible to them. They can sense you but can't see you."
"Oh!"
Angelica made herself visible by manifesting her human form but still stayed hidden behind Rudy.
Rias raised her eyes and said, "Is this the ghost who has possessed you?"
"Not possessed. And please, call her Angelica."
"Right. I keep forgetting her na for so reason. Does she have a spell on her that makes forget her na?" she asked curiously.
"Uhh… what?"
Rias turned to Jane and asked, "What do you think? Am I right? I have very limited vampiric powers, but you have vampire's eyes. You should be able to tell."
"Can you stand in front of us? I need to scan you?"
Angelica looked at Rudy for his permission and stood in front of the vampire girls.
Jane scanned Angelica and said, "No. She doesn't have any spells on her. And… well, Rudy also happened to tell her na when you were still in the slumber, and I rember it clearly."
"So it's only ?" Rias muttered.
Rias stared at Angelica and asked, "Have… have we t before? You look awfully familiar to for so reason."
