Vampire Summoner’s Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

312 A Bit Of History

Now that things were clearer to my parents, they felt more relieved to know the origins of my strength and unnatural talent with magic alongside the summons that I’ve begun to slowly introduce to our family without many explanations. While doing that, my father began asking me how I was generating so many coins even while doing this, as it was at an unnatural speed. So I had to tell them about Eleanora’s ability to turn into an adult form which they had seen sometimes in the war, and how she registered in the Adventurer Guild by pretending to be a human.

“I-If anybody finds out the truth you might be punished, my son…!” My mother said.

“Don’t worry, mother. We are rather cautious. We are only doing the smallest of quests for now to not bring any attention to us. But even such quests come with a good pay which accumulates over time.” I said.

“It is certainly a good source of income. I haven’t registered as an adventurer myself though, but at my age as a Hunter, I can complete some of the low rank quests.” Said my father.

“So it is allowed? I thought serfs were not allowed to…” I said.

“No, that changed some years ago when the King of our Kingdom changed the policies of the Adventurer Guild which were related to the Nation. It was only due to our nation’s laws that serfs were not allowed to take up arms and defeat monsters for prices, but that changed after serfs showed to be strong hunters many times in the past.” My father said. “With that came a new hero for us! Although we still don’t have all the commodities commoners got, we are way better than before. Back then we weren’t even allowed to go hunt monsters without permission, and we also had to give out most of what we hunted as taxes.”

“I see, that’s good to hear. I suppose this place is not filled with mindless nobility.” I said.

“In the past, there were many incompetent nobles but after the constant wars, only the most suited to survive in a world filled with monsters and demons remained and reformed the nations and kingdoms from their ruins. Nowadays, thanks to the Intercontinental Alliance, even Nobles are forced to go to war to defend the world from the demons.” Said my father.

“Intercontinental Alliance?” I asked.

“Yeah, I don’t really know much, aside from what I’ve heard from Ellergest, the Head Priest. He said that this Continent was named Embla and there were other continents making an alliance. Because of this Nobles were forced to be competent. Incompetent nobles ended being invaded by demons if they were too careless, and something like what happened to our neighbor country would had happened to us.” Said my father. “I trust that the Fiefdom’s Lord is a good natured and intelligent man to have invested a lot of money into sending us equipment, consumable items and even soldiers and knights to get rid of the demons here.”

“Hm, yeah, he was intelligent enough.” I said with a nod.

Of course, sending him the head of an Oni really impacted him, probably.

“OH.”

My mother suddenly gasped, as if she remembered something.

“What’s wrong?” Asked my father.

“I just remembered… yesterday when Blake and you were out in the fields, a Priest covered in bandages named Jack came here!” My mother said.

“Wait, Jack?” I asked in surprise. “What did he want? I am also pretty sure I didn’t told them where I lived! Did Elizabeth leaked the info? Hm, she’s not someone I can trust I suppose…”

“Hahaha, no, I told them beforehand.” My father said. “In the big feast we had after the demon battle.”

“Oh…”

I suppose this was going to eventually happen at the end.

“Anyways, the little Jack said that in a week from now the Lord of the fiefdom would come personally here… alongside his family, apparently. He said that he came here for some sort of good motive, but we don’t know exactly what it is.” My mother said. “Some speculate that it might be to reward us for the demon battle that we won, but that would be way too good to be true, right?”

“Certainly…” I sighed. “But that’s still within the realm of possibilities.”

“I guess we can only wait and see what’s going to happen.” My father said while scratching his chin.

Whatever the fiefdom lord wanted here was something I couldn’t truly guess. Although we assumed that he’s a good person, he might even have ulterior motives… But we can’t really find out until it finally happens. For now, I have to prepare.

After I had my lunch with my parents, my mother asked me to help her wash the dishes and then the clothes, so I had to oblige as her son. It wasn’t anything hard, as I’ve grown used to this. Washing the dishes was easy with magic, but I can’t just waste my MP all the time to do the most mundane of things either.

We use a special soap that Eric had gifted to me, which is made through alchemy by his apothecary uncles. It is rather expensive at one small silver coin, but he gifts me one almost monthly, so we use it to both wash clothes and dishes.

“Can you go leave the clothes outside so they dry out with the sun, dear?” My mother asked me. Her stomach was growing bigger and that was making it difficult for her to work outside the house and carry stuff. Of course, her sheep helped however she could, but even then, she had to ask my help.

“Sure thing mother, go rest upstairs for now.” I said. I accompanied my mother upstairs and left her resting over her bed.

“You’re such a good son… I am happy to have conceived you.” She said out of the blue with a serene smile.

“…Mother.” I sighed, feeling slightly moved.

“Zzzz…”

Ah, she fell asleep.
