"Mel! You are here! How have you been!?"
Lazarus who quickly hugged his little sister questioned with a big smile on his face.
"Brother."
Melia called out, hugging him back.
The brother and sister embraced each other for a minute before finally separating. The smiles on their faces were enough to tell others how happy the two of them were.
"Sister Mel."
Lazarus's 3 wives called out with smiles on their faces as well.
One by one, Melia hugged them all.
"Mel, it is great to see you." Luciana, Lazarus's first wife, spoke with a smile on her face.
"It has been a while."
Melia smiled back.
"How is your clan doing?"
"We are do-"
Melia was about to reply but then,
"Melia…"
Lazarus spoke as he narrowed his eyes.
"Brother…?" Melia tilted her head in confusion.
"What did you do?" Lazarus questioned.
"What do you mean, brother?" Melia questioned back.
"Your blood…
Was it that human?
Nux Leander?"
Lazarus questioned directly.
Melia, who understood what her brother was talking about blushed.
"!!!"
Lazarus and his three wives widened their eyes in surprise.
Melia…
To think that this usually expressionless girl was making such an expression!
Luciana and her two sisters started having different thoughts in their minds.
What was Lazarus talking about? What happened to Melia's blood? Why was Nux's name mentioned? And most importantly, why was Melia blushing like that!?
Honestly, the 3 of them weren't fools, they had a rough idea of what happened. However, the 'rough idea' in their minds was just so unbelievable that they refused to believe it, that was until...
Melia nodded her tomato-like head.
"You…"
Lazarus couldn't believe it.
"You drank that human's blood…
What happened? Were you attacked? Are you okay? Why did you not contact us!?"
Lazarus questioned with a worried look on his face.
Vampires without partners only drink other intelligent race's blood other than their parent's under two conditions,
First, if they decided to be partners with the said person for the rest of their lives.
Second, when they are injured, injured to the point where their regeneration and the Healing Potions weren't working.
That was another reason why Vampires were feared so much, if they had enough blood, even life-threatening injuries could be healed.
Of course, that was not important right now.
Lazarus, who had automatically assumed that his little sister was attacked was worried and enraged.
Just who was the bastard who harmed his sister to the point where she was forced to drink another man's blood!?
"Why didn't you call us!? You could have asked for my help! You also had this portal ability to come here! Why didn't you use it!?"
Lazarus shot a bunch of questions.
"Who was it!? Just give me the name!
I will take care of that bastard!"
Lazarus spoke, his crimson eyes burning with rage as the Mana around him acted violently.
"B-Brother…"
Melia, who realized that her brother had misunderstood, wanted to make it clear but before she could.
"Darling, it was that human, Nux Leander."
Esme, Lazarus's second wife spoke with a playful smile on her face.
"Huh?" Lazarus frowned. His current expression was scary.
Did that man betray her?
He wondered in his head. He was so impulsive that he didn't even notice Esme's playful expression or wondered how she knew about it.
"Indeed. It was that human. He trapped our little Mel in his trap, sealing all her ways escape, the attack he used was so lethal that our Mel failed to dodge it and in the end, she was forced to drink his blood, willingly."
Esme spoke as she shook her head. It was as if she was trying to tell an unfortunate tale.
"Right, Mel?"
Esme glanced at Melia and questioned with a big smile on her face. Luciana and Claudia were smiling as well.
"W-What…?"
Lazarus couldn't believe it.
Of course, he might be slower than his wives, but he was not a fool. Seeing the deep blush on Melia's face, he could understand the entire story.
Melia wasn't attacked, that girl…
She chose that human as her partner.
Noticing her brother's gaze, Melia lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Oh my~
To think that his attack was so powerful that our little Mel is still affected by it,
Fufufu~"
Esme chuckled.
Blushing Melia was just adorable.
"Alright Esme, don't tease our Mel anymore, I fear she would turn into a blood fruit if you continue."
Luciana stepped forward, placing Melia's head on her chest as she defended her cute sister-in-law.
"But to think our cute little Mel would act like this, that man really used a vicious attack huh."
Claudia, the third wife, joined in as well.
"I knew that man was dangerous the moment my eyes fell on him," Esme spoke.
"But still, to think he broke through our Mel's defenses.
She is the same girl who would rather talk about team battle strategy than gossip about love, you know?"
Claudia replied.
"That is surprising indeed. I guess there was a reason why all those women followed that guy."
"Our Mel fell into an evil man's hand huh…"
"Indeed indeed."
Esme and Claudia continued to chat.
Melia's blush continued to deepen.
She just buried her head into her big sister's chest. She was just too embarrassed to face all of them. Honestly, she had come prepared, she was going to announce the news herself, however, seeing her sisters teasing her like that, she couldn't take it.
Luciana, who noticed how expressive Melia was, couldn't help but smile as she continued to pat her head.
She was definitely enjoying it.
"Fufufu~
So what about it, Sisters?
When are we pulling our Mel for a women's meet?
I believe there is a fresh story we all ought to know, isn't there?"
As a member of the women's council, Esme spoke up.
"Of course, of course." Claudia was ready for it. Luciana wasn't against it either, she was curious as well.
Lazarus on the other hand, was still shocked.
"To think my cute little Mel…"
"Fufufu~
The brother is shocked." Esme chuckled as she glanced at her husband.
"It would take him a while to recover." Luciana smiled.
"Shall we take Mel for ourselves then?" Claudia questioned.
"Fufufu~
I don't see why not."
Esme chuckled.
