My Yandere Wives are Transcendents

Chapter 253: Welcome the Nex Academia, Miss Brynhildr

Fallen Continent

"Are these the fiends you captured, lurking around our territory?" the black-haired woman inquired from her majestic throne, her piercing gaze scrutinizing the four individuals kneeling before her.

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Her eyes, stormy and commanding, then shifted toward the gruesome scene of dozens of lifeless bodies strewn about. A heavy silence hung in the air as she remarked, "I explicitly mentioned they were of Monarch Level".

"Y-Your Majesty, but these weaklings were the ones lurking everywhere" one of them stammered with a trembling face.

"Tsk" Adriana, the black-haired woman, waved her hand with a flicker of disdain, turning the corpses to ashes and leaving behind empty soul crystals.

The room was thick with tension as she spoke, "It's been a day, and we have yet to find a dangerous monster lurking in this world" Inside, Adriana grappled with the weight of responsibility. 'What should I do...?'

"Your Majesty, I have a proposal" suddenly interjected a black-haired handsome man, lifting his head with an air of confidence.

Adriana's gaze intensified with suspicion. 'This bastard!' she silently cursed, knowing he was the one who planned to kidnap her daughter. However, lacking definitive proof, she couldn't act on her suspicions. With an indifferent tone masking her inner turmoil, she asked,

"Go ahead, Count Dracula".

"Why don't we set a bait for the monster?" Dracula suggested, a self-assured smile playing on his lips.

"Bait?" Adriana's frown deepened, mirroring the confusion etched on the faces of those present.

"Yes, I have something that attracts the Monster"

"...What is it?" Adriana asked, her frown deepening when she saw him taking ominous black feathers.

"Here..." Dracula presented the feathers, their eerie energy sending shivers through the room.

Adriana beckoned her hand, and one of the feathers floated toward her. As she analyzed it, a sense of danger sent a chill down her spine, yet she couldn't discern anything else.

"What is it and How does it work?"

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty..." Dracula vanished and reappeared with a human whose eyes were completely shrouded in black.

Seeing him with a fiend, the other counts turned vigilant, and a hushed tension settled over the room.

"L-Let me go!" The fiend wriggled in Dracula's hand, who simply released it.

"Huh?" The fiend stumbled as it attempted to escape, but when a strange smell tickled his nostrils, its attention was inexplicably drawn to the feather. With a crazed expression, it ran towards Adriana.

As other counts prepared to react, Adriana threw the black feather towards the fiend.

With a crazy expression, the fiend caught the black feather. The drool dripped from its mouth upon seething that feather closer...consumed it, and within a few minutes, it succumbed, white foam leaking from its mouth.

Raised eyebrows and exchanged glances filled the room as everyone witnessed this surreal event.

Count Dracula nodded in satisfaction and confidently stated, "Your Majesty, with this, we can---"

"Where did you get this?" Adriana interrupted, her voice cutting through the room like a blade.

"I found it in the 'S' Rank Dungeon" Count Dracula humbly replied, his demeanour revealing he didn't do anything wrong.

"I see... Are you sure it could attract the monster that came from the door?" Despite her disdain for him, Adriana prioritized the lives of the fallen continent's people, a conflict of emotions etched on her face.

"It will, Your Majesty," Dracula nodded, adding, "I just need time".

"....Fine" Adriana agreed.

Afterwards, Dracula sought permission to check and visit other continents in case the monster lurked elsewhere. The meeting continued, addressing people's welfare and other issues, until everyone left, leaving Adriana and her maid alone in the echoing chamber.

"Your Majesty, I am not sure how to say this, but are you sure about it?" the maid, who had silently listened, finally spoke with some hesitation, concern evident in her eyes.

"I don't have another choice; we need to find that 'thing' before anything happens" Adriana said seriously, her gaze distant and burdened with the weight of an impending threat.

Suddenly, Adriana's thoughts were interrupted by the vivid memory of someone's face.

This time, Adriana was the first one to end the call, her face turning crimson.

'See! I fucking knew it!' The maid screamed internally as she observed her master's uncharacteristic behaviour. Adriana blushed, her ears twitching with eagerness...a side of her that the maid had never witnessed before.

Determined to shield her masters from Eli's influence, the maid swore to herself that she would do whatever it took.

...

....

Somewhere in the Fallen Continent.

'Thud'

A resounding echoed as Dracula placed the lifeless body of the fiend, which had consumed the ominous black feather, on the ground.

"Hmm..." He stared at the fiend, his gaze piercing, before reaching for a black book with a door carved on its cover.

'flip, flip'

"I see... there were few changes compared to before.... Hmm, interesting. There are some new members. I guess the future changes every second" Dracula muttered in an interesting tone as he continued skimming the contents appearing on the blank pages.

'Woosshhh'

The air seemed to thicken with an eerie anticipation as his eyes fell on the last page.

"Heheh...." Dracula chuckled, a cryptic smile playing on his lips, before saying, "Yet, fate never changes... ah" with an amusing smile.

"KII!!"

A groaning voice suddenly filled the air. Dracula closed the book and observed as the dead fiend's body twitched and started to convulse.

Asgarez Dracula stared at the fiend's transforming body; it grew larger as his smile widened.

"Hehehehe..."

.....

Nex Academia

"Excuse me, Miss?"

"Yes?"

"What happened to your eyes?"

"I-I am sorry, I lost my eyes during the Monster rampage... Here, is the report from the doctors.....If you still want to see it, I can show it to you; however, the puss is still leaking and contagious....too gross and disgusting. Do you want to see it?"

"S-Shit!!-I-I mean n-no need Miss. S-So you are the new caretaker for the orphanage?"

"Yes"

"Do you have any experience?"

"Yes, Here..."

"Hmm... I see. Well then... Welcome to Nex Academia, Miss Brynhildr!" The staff from the teleportation station exclaimed with a big smile.

"Oh, thank you" replied the honey-haired woman with a blindfold, a small smile gracing her lips.

"Hmm, Miss, I think something is stuck in your hair?" The staff said as she removed a peculiar item from the honey-haired woman.

"What a weird black feather..." The staff mumbled, sensing an ominous aura emanating from it.
