Chapter 312: I missed you too....?
/
"We cannot, under any circumstances, allow Adriana, the illustrious Queen of the Fallen Continent, a prominent business magnate holding a substantial portfolio of shares in every industry. Having served as the esteemed chairperson of Every Industrialization and... even extending generous financial support to Nex, the prospect of her being sent to prison is utterly inconceivable"
"B-But you guys had reached an agreement before!"
"Indeed, an agreement was reached, but subsequent 'deliberations' have compelled us to reconsider..... So, sending her to prison is no longer a viable option"
"..... Is that what the Headmaster told to you all?"
"....Yes"
"gggrrrrrr.... Damn!!"
"Had preparations been made a year or two in advance, capturing the Vampire Queen might have been feasible and easy... Alas, with a mere two days at our disposal, imprisoning her and abolishing her cultivation would wreak havoc on the economy, any industries and... meaningless war, potentially taking years to recover!!! So We Can't!"
"Arrrrrr.... Then--"
"~Ring~Ring~'
"Hello, Y-Yes, Prince.... Okay? OH!! Right"
"..."
"Council Members, consider this alternative....
Could you declare the duel..... null and void?"
"....hmmm... It's certainly possible. If we take Vampire Queen's interruption into account..."

"So, if I understand correctly, they are all embroiled in this web of schemes to acquire the Mythical beast?" Eli inquired, his hand gently patting his beloved Kitty Anna, comfortably nestled on his lap.
"Yes, Master" Scylla responded, mirroring the scene as she, too, lay on Eli's lap, indulging in the comforting strokes from her beloved.
Eli shifted his gaze to Adriana, engrossed in perusing the document clasped in her elegant hands.
At her side stood the head maid, her countenance stoic, while Zera peered curiously at the contents of the document, mirroring the intensity of her mother's focus.
Eli's discerning eyes then traversed the room, settling on the Inferno Phoenix Family trio.... Mariel, Scarlett, and Mia. A subtle air of awkwardness enveloped Mariel, her first time being directly sitting with Adriana, the formidable and famous Vampire Queen.
What's more both Mariel and Mia couldn't help but glance at her Scarlett's ring finger.... with envy and jealousy.
Everyone, presently situated in Eli's abode, the living room provided the backdrop for this unfolding drama.
The crystal ball, a mystical medium, projected the recorded video, capturing the intricate dealings between the Vice-Head Master and the Council Members, casting an enigmatic glow across the room.
This video was recorded by Scylla and Kitty Anna who had been missing in the Arena.
Taken under Adriana's instruction, Scylla and Kitty Anna discreetly followed the Vice-Head Master.
"E-Eli~" A pouting voice reached Eli's ears, drawing his attention to Scylla, who wore a frown.
Smiling, Eli kissed Scylla's lips, a gesture that caught the attention of every woman present, their gazes momentarily lingering before discreetly averting.
"M-Master~Nyaa! Me, Me! I am the one who sneaked in secretly and recorded everything; she just took me there!!" Kitty Anna interjected with a playful frown.
Scylla had merely guided Kitty Anna to the location where the Vice-Head Master went. It was Kitty Anna who, with her adept cloning and illusion skills, stealthily entered the room and meticulously recorded every detail... She had certainly worked hard, You know!!
'How dare she steal my ha--' Kitty Anna's thoughts were abruptly interrupted.
"NYYAA!!" Startled, Kitty Anna jerked when she saw Scylla looking at her with blank eyes, silently conveying, 'Say one more word, and today's dinner will be Cat Fried Rice!'
Of course, it was just Kitty Anna's imagination, but the fear was already etched in her heart... so nothing was avoidable.
"Hahaha..." Eli couldn't help but laugh at the scene. He kissed Scylla's forehead and remarked,
"My Maid worked hard~" Scylla's expression softened.
Eli then glanced at the apprehensive Kitty Anna and said,
"Of course, My cute little Kitty worked really hard~ 'Chu'!" He planted a gentle kiss on Anna's forehead.
Kitty's fear transformed into happiness, but she soon added,
"M-Master~Nya! Lick me~Nya!!"
"W-Well, I was a little busy?" Lilith responded, exchanging a glance with Adriana, who understood the unspoken communication.
"Busy with following those two?" Eli's pointed question caught both Lilith and Adriana off guard, earning a judging look from the perceptive man.
"Sorry, Mrs. Lilith, but your husband knows you more than you think!!" Eli declared with a smug expression.
"Hehe..." Lilith giggled, scratching her head before settling down beside Eli.
"L-Lilith!!!" Suddenly, Mariel's fearful shout echoed through the room, her expression a mix of shock and awe.... mostly fear only.
Even,
"Her Majesty???" Evelina Veilstrike, later realizing she was in the presence of their deity, The true Ruler of Fallen Continent, promptly knelt down.
'W-What? Why is she here? Why does she look different?... No, no, more importantly. How is she here outside of the Fallen Continent!!....'
Numerous questions swirled in Evelina's mind as she tried to comprehend the unexpected presence of their God.
Observing the shock on Mariel's face, Lilith shot her husband a blank stare, silently asking, 'Did you also seduce her?' It was the only plausible explanation if Eli had disclosed Lilith's true name in front of a stranger.
Eli responded with a charming smile and a wink.
"Tsk" Lilith clicked her tongue in mock irritation.
"Ashy, You want something important to discuss with Sister Adriana, right? Why don't you guys leave, and I will fill my mother in on the details" Scarlett suggested, observing her mother frozen like a statue.
Eli's eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at Adriana, who wore a taken-aback expression.
Eli kissed Scylla, Lilith's forehead, and stood up.
"W-W-Wait! I-I haven't finished read...ing.....the....docu....ment?" Adriana's voice trailed off slowly.
"KYYA!!" Ignoring her feigned struggle to escape, Eli effortlessly picked her up and headed upstairs.
"Wait! I-I haven't... Help me! Lina!!"
Evelina Veilstrike, the Head Maid, harboured a 'genuine' desire to save her Master..... However, a single glance from Lilith forced her into the same submissive position, not daring to move an inch.
'W-What kind of relationship does our god have with that man!!' Evelina screamed inwardly.
Scarlett's thumbs-up earned a nod of acknowledgement from Lilith, who couldn't help but snort in response.
However, beneath her nonchalant exterior, Lilith harboured a genuine interest in Scarlett, recognizing her as a formidable rival compared to others.
If Lilith could glean essential information from Scarlett, it might propel her to a level of knowledge surpassing others in understanding Eli, her husband only.... More importantly, Lilith longed to uncover the secret to eliciting her husband's unconditional and boundless love.
Regardless there was one person who was fuming with jealousy...
Zera's gaze bore into her mother's back who was carried by Eli with a deadly intensity before she managed to calm down, wrestling with the strange pain in her heart.
'Come on, Zera. It's your Papa!! You cannot possibly be jealous of your mother!!' She said to herself.
Clenching her fists in an attempt to dispel the unsettling emotions, Zera found herself unable to shake the intrusive thoughts, 'She's going to drink not only sweet wine like blood.... but also his.... 'Gulp'' Her throat tightened as she swallowed nervously, feeling the emergence of her canine teeth, a subtle manifestation of the internal turmoil that stirred within her.
Inside the room, a charged silence hung between Adriana and Eli.
".." He had the audacity to push her onto the bed and settle on her stomach, ensuring she couldn't escape his proximity.
Eli's gaze bore into Adriana, who defiantly avoided him and ignored his calls before.
His pupils glowed in a soft pink hue as he leaned closer to her face, his breath warming her skin.
"My cute Little Vampire~ha~" His breath growing heavy and his voice carried a hint of longing as he continued,
"I missed you"
Adriana visibly flinched, her eyes betraying a hint of teary emotion. With a voice marked by stuttering vulnerability, she admitted,
"I-I also m-missed you!"
She enveloped him in a tight embrace, a stark contrast to her usually composed exterior. Despite the cool facade she had been presented, inside, worry churned within her.
While the fear of potential consequences and punishment played a role in her apprehension, the deeper truth behind her avoidance of Eli lay in...
...All because of Scylla's few words.
