If they start fighting a war now and a lot of mermaids are killed, then it will take almost a hundred years for them to bring their population back up to the point it was in before!
And worst of all is the sort of anger the demon lord might develop for them if he finds out that they couldn't handle things properly and they went into a war for something this stupid. It might not even end with a simple warning this time, the demon lord could just eradicate them all from anger! Talia has heard stories about what the former demon lord did to the dragons and some other races that went against him! She didn't want the mermaids to join the list of extinct demons! The demon lord won't even care that his child is now one of them, he would show no mercy to anyone! In the demon world, everyone was guilty if the majority commits a crime, so as far as the demon lord is concerned, every child is also guilty.
Talia turned towards the shore when she felt the magic signatures of a few vampires coming towards them. Talia immediately signaled to her two sisters and they all came out of the water in their transformed state. They were wearing short clothes on their breasts and around their waist to make themselves seem more modest.
It was obvious that the mermaids were not comfortable wearing the clothes. They were used to being nude all the time and they would usually not wear clothes even if they were in their human form! But the mermaids came here to ask for a favor from the vampires and Talia decided that it would be very rude for them to show up naked since the vampires were not used to that. They would be able to get rid of the clothes once they were done here, but for now, they needed to do everything they can to get on Dracula's good side.
As the mermaids walked out from the water and onto the shore, they were stunned as they noticed that the shore of the kingdom was dark! It was nighttime on the shore of the kingdom and the mermaids were sure that it was just daytime when they were in the water! They immediately knew that this was a spell that the vampires used to make it night over their kingdom since they cannot go out during the day. But how were the vampires able to perform the spell over such a wide region? There is no vampire alive that should have this much ability.
The mermaids looked forward and they saw a man with blue hair standing on the shore with two vampire maids flanking him on both sides.
This man was Dracula's attendant. He was a young vampire in terms of vampire years. He hasn't even gotten to three hundred years, but he was strong enough and smart enough to become the attendant of the vampire lord himself. Once Talia laid eyes on him, she frowned. She immediately knew that this might be a problem.
The vampire lord didn't come himself to welcome the convoy of mermaids. This means that Dracula already sees them as people that are below him and he is not going to speak to them with much respect at all. They will probably be taken to his throne room and this will turn into a power play where he will try his best to extort them as much as possible in exchange for his help.
Talia shook her head and just moved forward. She knew that this was going to be like this from the beginning and she didn't need to be surprised by it! Vampires have always been a very pompous race. They became even more prideful when the demon lord saved them and gave them an entire kingdom to rule over. Talia couldn't deny that Dracula was doing a good job of ruling over Aquinas, but that doesn't mean she likes how prideful he is! There is a limit to how much you can look down on others!
Talia got close enough to the attendant and he nodded his head in a greeting as he saw them. His face was stoic and there was an air of regality around him that Talia knew she would never be able to replicate. It was always strange to be around the vampires since you will always feel like they are looking down on you with the way that they talk and move. Every single movement that a vampire does has been refined to perfection and it is impossible to see a vampire that doesn't have a very regal mentality! This is one of the reasons why Rosalyn - Alaya's maid -didn't want to come and ask them for help. She just hated the way they acted.
Dracula's attendant looked from Talia to the other two mermaids behind her and he narrowed his eyes in surprise. Where was the queen?
Dracula's attendant was surprised when the mermaids sent a letter to him asking him for an audience with Dracula. The attendant thought that it was. A joke at first. A mermaid wanted to meet with a vampire? Ha! Someone must be pulling my leg!
But they weren't! The mermaids were very serious and when the attendant didn't send a response to the first letter, they sent a second letter just to make sure that he actually got the letter!
This showed the attendant that they were serious and he immediately took the letter to Dracula and told him about what it said. Dracula was in the middle of three other girls when he received the letter and he had to push one of the girls off the bed so that he would free up his hand and collect the letter to read. The girl he pushed was too weak to do anything so she just stayed on the ground with a pitiful groan.
Dracula no longer kills the human girls that he sleeps with since the other vampires will also need them to feed. Dracula just puts them under the [Mesmerise] spell and fucked them before returning them to their cell after drinking some of their blood.
Dracula collected the letter and read through it with a drowsy look on his face before looking up at his attendant with a frown. What the fuck is this supposed to mean? Why the hell would the mermaids want to meet with me?
The attendant shrugged at this question and he told Dracula that he was just as surprised when he received the letter. The attendant asked Dracula if he would be interested in meeting with the mermaids or if he should ignore the letter. Dracula thought about it for a moment. He actually didn't have any reason to meet with the mermaids at all.
The mermaids and the vampires were not enemies but they sure as hell weren't friends either and Dracula has every right to deny them an audience! But Dracula suddenly remembered that the queen of the mermaids was the demon lord's concubine. Dracula's frown deepened and he started to think again.
Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to form a good relationship with the queen of the mermaids. I'm sure that this is not a casual visit. They are coming to ask me for something. I think it might be best if I just heard them out for the sake of having a better relationship with the queen.
This was Dracula's thought process and it was only because of this thought process that the vampires agreed to meet with the mermaids and allowed the mermaids into their shored.
Dracula's attendant stood at the edge of the kingdom where the night ends and the day begins. After giving Aquinas to the vampires, the demon lord cast a very high-level version of the [Day breaker] over the entire kingdom. It was a skill that none of the vampires could ever hope to replicate and they were forever grateful for what the demon lord did!
The spell that the demon lord cast was not self-sustaining since the demon lord was not going to be in the kingdom all the time, so the vampires had to provide the mana stones that would fill it with enough mana to keep the spell up. But even without the mana stones, it would still be extremely hard for anyone to take down the [Day Breaker] since it was a direct spell of the demon lord! This [Day Breaker] could stay for more than two months without them providing any mana for it! They were just providing mana early so that even if there is an emergency, they will be able to survive without mana stones for a while and they would only need to replace the man's stones before the spell goes down.
Dracula's attendant watched as the mermaids came out of the water and walked toward them. He couldn't deny that they were some of the most beautiful women he has ever seen! They all had large breasts, their skin was very smooth and their hips were wide and desirable as they swayed from side to side!
But they were not vampires, so they were sloppy in their movement and this was not something other vampires would be attracted to. Vampires are attracted to perfection. Any form of imperfection would seem like a weakness to the vampires! Dracula's attendant wouldn't mind just fucking them, but he knew that he could never fall in love with them.
But the other thing that Dracula's attendant noticed once he saw the mermaids was the obvious lack of their queen! The attendant didn't want to believe it! He didn't want to believe that the mermaids would dare do something like this! Did they come here without their queen? Are they looking down on us this much?
Talia came to stand in front of the attendant and she saw the frown on his face. She was about to speak, but he immediately rose his hand to stop her and he spoke up instead.
"Where is your queen?"
Talia drew in a tired breath and sighed silently. She knew that this would be a problem, but she didn't think that it would be a problem so soon.
