We arrived at the expansive wooden residence, and we found ourselves standing outside. However, they paused to observe something.
Beast: "Where are they? I could only detect the presence of those of lesser mana-nyah."
Witch: "We even ensure that everyone is apprehended."
Demon: "Do you not detect the presence of those of highest aura? They are responsible for guarding. ...Then, next time, let's capture them."
"Everyone, don't kill them, have them arrested."
We proceeded inside; the focal point was a spiraling wooden staircase leading up to the second floor, with an oak wooden floor, walls, and ceiling.
The members of the house approached us one by one, some gazing in our direction and displaying joy upon seeing us.
"They have returned!"
"There is someone behind you once again."
"You have captured someone again?"
"As expected of you─"
Demon:「Summon: Chain Demon」
A dark circle materialized on the ground, and the spirit of a demon emerged.
/Clank
The chains clinked, losing their luster.
The demon appeared naked and lacking any discernible gender, with a small orifice in its body from which chains extended.
"""""T-T-TRAITOR!"""""
"""""RUN!"""""
"""""""AAAHHHRRRRGHH!!"""""""
The chain demon binding their body.
"Take it easy, it would be best to remain composed," I said, feeling slightly annoyed.
"As you wish, I apologize."
I shut my eyes as the people reacted with fear and panic upon seeing the demon. While it is understandable that some form of punishment is necessary, I cannot help but wonder about the circumstances in their lives that led them to make such poor choices.
Aspiration... Perhaps, one day, there will be a change and they will come to understand the importance of integrity. Until then, let us strive to demonstrate tranquility, independence, wisdom, and forbearance.
It is important to remember that accusations should not be hurled without considering the appropriate time and place, and the manner in which we address the faults of others equally matters.
Afterwards, I tended to their injuries, as they sat silently on the floor. "Rest assured, the NUA Association will provide for your future. Do not lose hope."
I provided assurance to them, however, they appear to exhibit reluctance towards making any changes.
Assistance should be provided to those who are suffering, regardless of our lack of familiarity. We must consider ourselves close to a God.
─ ─ ─
By utilizing telepathy, I called upon the elite soldiers and they arrived promptly after receiving my request for mana from a small crystal stone, and I instructed them not to apprehend my new subordinates.
While the others ascended, I went into a vast, dimly lit area with brick walls devoid of mortar and a seamless wooden floor.
A distinct scent of blood permeated the air.
As I moved forward, my eyes widened in shock at the sight before me - numerous members of the vampire race lying on the floor, surrounded by their own blood.
I kneeled down, unable to comprehend the situation.
The only thought in my mind was that they were gone.
"D-Did I arrive too late?"
I uncertain of what steps to take in these circumstances.
"No-no, no-no-no. N—"
Overwhelmed with a sense of despair and emptiness, I attempted to heal their wounds and injuries immediately, but found myself momentarily speechless.
I glanced downwards, realizing that a few minutes had passed.
Sena: Don't give up, and observe them carefully without averting my gaze.
The words of Sena resonated in my mind. I recollected her advice before leaving, however, it felt futile now.
Suddenly, I detected some irregular movements nearby, which caught me off guard.
I carefully examining the situation, I stood up, only to discover that they were indeed alive.
...Sena's words proved to be true, and I resolved to overcome the challenges presented before me.
As they stared at me, I made another attempt to communicate. I introduced myself, and I summoned the first-class soldiers to transport them to Arcadia land for the necessary treatments.
The soldiers of the elite group graciously assisted them in getting up.
In doing so, I noticed that two vampires possessed light red and light pink hair and eyes, I approached them and assuring them that their child was safe and they would soon be reunited, they expressed their gratitude.
Suddenly, someone informed me that the princess of the vampires still lay in a corner, and breathing.
I realizing that the missing vampire princess was here, I hurried towards her.
I saw her lying on the floor, and I gently lifted her into my arms, noticing that her long mahogany red hair was disheveled.
"...I apologize for my tardiness, Princess."
I said, and she slowly opened her half-closed ruby eyes and glanced at me.
"Are you alright? Can you hear me?"
I was concerned, and I could sense her intention to feed on my blood as she moved her body.
I held her head to prevent her from losing balance. Suddenly, she embraced me tightly and sank her sharp fangs into my neck.
...It was quite painful. After a few minutes, she ceased her feeding.
It's over. ...she is now in a state of slumber.
I proceeded to carry her towards Arcadia land.
Fortunately, my sister had captured the remaining members of the opposition association.
I was relieved by her safety, and I embraced her tightly.
"Asen, I am relieved to see that you are unharmed."
"Rin, you tend to worry too much." She chuckled.
Several days have passed since then.
The numerous vampires were saved and, after receiving appropriate treatment, they returned home. Some even expressed their desire to relocate to Arcadia land.
As the princess continued to sleep, the diligent workers took care of her.
I made it a point to visit every day, bringing a glass of water and blood just in case she awakened.
Meanwhile, the ace soldiers were conducting interviews with my new subordinates.
The girl I rescued has now acknowledged me as their new subordinate. Her name is Tiana Emery, she possesses short red hair and light coral eyes.
Today, I paid a visit to the princess who had awoken already, and she was seated on the bed as I approached her, offering a glass of water.
"Thank you," She expressed in a subdued manner, proceeding to consume the water I presented.
I take a seat beside her bed, "...When the time is right. Can you tell me everything? I'll wait.
Given my apprehension regarding potential future occurrences, I am eager to acquire a comprehensive understanding.
I initiated an introduction, informing her of her vampire brethren's rescue and their current well-being, clarifying that she had been asleep for a duration of five days.
"For the time being, I'll observe attentively from this position without departure."
"...My name is Ausha lir Finna-Orion. I would like to express my gratitude for all that you do."
"It is truly an honor, princess."
"...Allow me to disclose, these harmful organizations are not limited to a single entity. Numerous such groups exist, employing innovative methods involving crystals and alchemical artifacts. Upon executing nefarious deeds within a particular vicinity, they subsequently relocate to a different continent. In summation, there is much more yet to unfold. There is something to consider next, as these races who are not involved in the NUA Association seem content with their current living conditions, which are apparently worse than ours."
...They are I formative. Should I travel to their location and extend an invitation to join the NUA Association. However, there is also the concern of potential rejection, but I am determined to take action.
We exchanged smiles.
It is now time for her to eat.
...Huh?
"I apologize for leaving the blood behind. ...I'll get it.─" I start to stand up, but she grabs my wrist.
"No, it's alright. I am very hungry now. May I drink your blood once again?"
She is very hungry? It makes sense, as we often feel hungry when we wake up.
"Of course, you may."
I sit beside her, and she embraces me, her fangs piercing my neck.
I begin to feel drowsy for a moment.
....Did she extract a significant amount of blood from me? Or am I experiencing sleep difficulties?"
"Thank you."
"My pleasure, Your Highness."
"Rin,"
Suddenly, Asen called my name, and approached us.
"You didn't realized that you left a trail of blood behind."
She said and handed me the blood and expressed her concern, furrowing her eyebrows.
"Thank you, Asen. Is there something wrong?"
"Yes, we have been here for a few weeks and I am worried about my sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law?" Ausha responded, clearly confused.
"Yes, she is my partner. Her name is Sena Weiss Emi-Arias... ...Asen I am worried as well, but we must remain patient. We will return home soon and we must fulfill our father's orders "
"I understand. I just wanted to express my concern. I will leave now."
"Yes, do not forget to eat, Asen," I reminded her.
"I will. Rin, don't forget to rest as well." See is no longer here.
"I did not expect her to mention her sister-in-law," I chuckled. "
"Yes, I was surprised to learn that same feminine relationship exists, and that she is also from the north."
"As long as love exists... you should take some time to rest. I will inform your family that you are recovering well, your highness."
"Yes, thank you," She replied with gratitude.
The ace soldiers assigned under the command of the NUA Assembly, have been waiting for my return and they have informed me that there is no significant activity or suspicious incidents occurring.
We arrived at the expansive wooden residence, and we found ourselves standing outside. However, they paused to observe something.
