Chapter 313 First Conditon: Make Her Harem Queen!
'No-no-no, he is playing that convincing tongue technique at me again. Don't fall for his words ever again.' Ancestor Dracula screamed in his head while reminding himself that his little brother had the golden tongue.
He glared and said in a cold tone, "Noah, I'll remind you once again for all time's sake…. Don't you ever pull that bullshit reverse psychology crap on me? Otherwise, I'm ending this dialogue here."
Upon hearing his words, Bobby and Catherine's smiles froze. 'Damn, he figured it out!' They cried telepathically between them.
"Eh, you're wrong this time. I'm still stating the facts here. Catherine is not wrong in this matter. You knew it. I knew it and they knew it." Noah continued, "So, what about this? I'll owe you one. In return, I want you to let Catherine go without any punishment. What do you say?"
Ancestor Dracula pondered for a while and responded, "Okay, but I've some conditions."
"That's what I'm talking about. Brother, shoot it out!" Noah said with a cheerful tone.
This time, Ancestor Dracula looked at the lady and asked, "I like to clear my thoughts on something. So, Cath, be honest. Why are you doing this? I know you clearly have learned about the relationship between Damien Darhk and your daughter, Diana from his mouth before you sleep…. Ahem! So why did you go, this extreme?"
"Now, you are asking me that. Huh! This old fart is seriously getting on my nerves again." Catherine said feeling annoyed with his dumb question that threatened her conscience of morality.
Bobby held her hand and said, telepathically in her head. "Hey, calm your head first. I know you have a lot of things swelling up in your chest. Now, I believe the time has come to spill everything out. I believe in you." 𝒇𝐫e𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞𝑙.c𝗼𝐦
Catherine shut her eyes, took a long breath, and said in a calm tone, "I know you look up to me just like your daughter. But in truth, I feel like I'm just a tool, sharpened to use and sacrifice for the family."
"No, you're wrong. Since you are born into the Carver Family, that's your duty. And nothing more." Ancestor Dracula interrupted.
"Can you just shut up and listen to me until I'm done? Just this one…. Now, if you truly want my answer then you must also have the endurance to hear me out until I'm done, yeah?" Catherine said in a louder tone, shutting him. Then she further added, taking another long breath, "Listen, old man, I respect you from the bottom of my heart for guiding me and also for your unending dedication to the family. But I'm not you. And I've been living this life of other people that you designed, the family designed whole my fucking 500 years, following orders for the benefits of the family."
Seeing that he was not convinced by her words, she further explained, "Fine, I'll name each of them. First, you send me to befriend Miabella, the werewolf princess to spy on their actions. And I did as you said. But eventually, my mission was halted after finding out that we became good sisters. And I was forbidden to meet her ever again. Next, you, let me marry my good-for-nothing cousin against my will to get a future seed with pure bloodline and I did it like a robot. After I gave birth to my daughter, you sent us into that hell hole, you called Family's Forbidden Ground to bring out that Blood Crystal. I was stuck in that place for fucking twenty-five years, trapped inside a hall without food, water, or anything. I barely stayed there alive relying on my vampire bloodline. So in those many years, I stayed there, I thought about looking back to my past and realized that I haven't done anything yet for myself. So, I made up my mind that I would not be a family pet anymore and would do anything I wish if I by chance left that place. Luckily for me, Damien came there to my rescue and I know seeing him for the first time that he is my future. So, even after he told me about his relationship with Diana, I still forced myself on him."
Ancestor Dracula finally understood how she felt all this time.
Cynthia added, "Master if you like to portray me as an immoral lady, that is fine too. Because I don't give a shite about others' opinions or what they would perceive of me. At the end of the day, I'm the master of myself not you, my father, my mother, or even my daughter." Then she turned to Bobby and asked, "Can we go now?"
Bobby responded with a brilliant smile and responded telepathically, "Not yet!... Anyway, I'm so proud of you and you've done a great job. Now, how do you feel?"
"Great! Now, I feel like something heavy has lifted out from my chest." Cynthia replied telepathically in his head.
"Dracula my good brother, you have already taken too much of our time. Just tell us. What are your conditions?" Noah demanded.
Ancestor Dracula glanced at Cynthia meaningfully once and opened his mouth, "This youth is not a saint either. He clearly knew everything and still, he was too perverted to take both Catherine and Diana as his women. And don't tell me, they are his only woman. Because I'm not a fool."
Then he snatched the pocket wine case from Noah's shirt pocket and started chugging down until the last drop. And belching loudly, he continued with a smile, "Perhaps, he will have thousands of women in the near future. So, clean your ears, here comes my first demand. I want them to get an official marriage today according to the old custom."
"The olde custom, marriage?! Don't tell me, you want to make Catherine the official head of his harem?" This time, Noah screamed with surprise as he was not ready for this.
"What? Are you against it?"
"No-no-no, I'm just a bit taken there." Noah responded, "Okay, I agree. It will be even better for Damien too. Considering her fierceness, intelligence, and strength. It would be wise to make her, his harem Queen."
