Chapter 633:Medusa,Queen Of The Gorgons.
Chapter 633: Medusa, Queen of the Gorgons.
“That means…” Maria, who was nearby, spoke.
“Correct, I am Medusa, Queen of The Gorgons, a Divine Spirit, and a Progenitor.”
‘Bullshit!’ Ruby, Violet, and Sasha thought simultaneously.
Seeing everyone’s looks of disbelief, she nodded in satisfaction and spoke with a face that was neutral but held a subtle smugness that couldn’t be hidden.
“Y-You are a Progenitor!?” Bruna practically screamed; she never thought her friend and fellow Maid had someone so strong inside her.
Yes, they knew about Medusa. Roberta often showed Medusa’s abilities like Petrification etc. But they never thought that Medusa was so ridiculous!
She looked at her fellow Maids and realized she wasn’t the only one feeling so incredulous; even Kaguya and Eve had their mouths open in shock.
“Indeed. As the most famous of the Gorgons and the one who achieved greatness in Death, I achieved Progenitor Status. But, unfortunately, I am also a Divine Spirit that currently resides within my descendant, whom you know as Roberta.”
“I don’t have a body of my own.”
“…” Again, the girls looked at Victor with visible disbelief.
“… What?”
“Were you born with your ass to the moon or something, Victor?” Scathach spoke.
“… Huh?” It was apparent that Victor did not understand what she meant.
“There was a tale in an Ancient Civilization I visited that the fortunate children were those born with their asses to the moon. I thought you were someone like that.”
“….” Victor’s smile trembled, ‘what was this weird tale?’ he asked himself and added to Scathach:
“I don’t know about that. You should ask my mother.”
“Hmm, I will.”
‘Is she really going to ask that!?’ Victor was incredulous.
“Victor.”
Victor turned to face Medusa, who called him and saw her serious look.
“I am Medusa, The First Known Progenitor of the ‘Gorgon’ Species.”
“And I bow to my Master.” She knelt on the floor with her long hair falling to the floor.
Following Medusa’s example, the 10 women did the same as Medusa.
“From today onwards, for all eternity, my Fate, and that of my kind, will be tied to the Fate of Victor Alucard.”
The girls behind Victor shuddered slightly when they heard what Medusa said.
‘Sneaky woman!’ They all thought. They clearly understood that Medusa was doing the same as Aphrodite, a Soul Marriage!
A small smile appeared on Medusa’s face, a smile worthy of a ‘snake’.
Despite being surprised by the events that even he didn’t expect, Victor quickly regained his composure and continued:
“Good, your opinions were heard, and I appreciated them.”
“I accept your Fate, Medusa.”
Medusa’s smile grew as she felt her Spirit connecting with the man in front of her, and she could clearly feel his emotions.
[Are you sure about this, Medusa?] Roberta asked.
[Didn’t you suggest this?] Medusa spoke.
The source of this content is nov/el/bin[./]net’
[Yes, but I want your opinion too.] Roberta insisted.
[… He is a trustworthy man.]
[…] Roberta was silent. She knew Medusa well enough to know that this was the highest compliment she could give anyone. After all, someone who had been betrayed was especially sensitive to others.
[And to think you were going to marry him right away.] Roberta sighed.
[Attitude is necessary, and I will not allow us to remain as merely ‘Maids’.] Medusa spoke.
She got up from the floor and stood, along with the other 10 women who were silent the whole time.
Victor narrowed his eyes as he felt a spike of irritation come from outside.
‘Aphrodite…’ Victor thought. He already felt the headache coming from the possessive Goddess; she could sometimes surpass him in possessiveness… Not that he didn’t like that side of her. In fact, that was the side he liked the most, and he loved her for it.
[Hmm…? What the hell is this? Snakes!? Kyaa!] Victor ignored Roxanne’s voice.
Victor looked at the women in front of him.
“Understand that the Principle of my Clan is…”
“Family comes first; it always comes first.”
“The rules are also simple, don’t betray the Clan. Of course, if a misunderstanding occurs, you can fight it amongst yourselves to resolve the matter, but killing and abusing another Clan member is tantamount to an act of treason. After all, we care for each other.”
“If you accept this rule, you will be members of my Clan from today onwards.”
“… Master, do you plan to extend these rules to the other Clan members?” Kaguya asked.
“Yes, but… I won’t make a Clan as big as the Snow Clan.”
“… What do you mean, Vic?” Agnes asked.
“I’m saying I won’t make a Clan that functions like the Snow Clan or Fulger; it will be more like Scathach’s.”
“…Oh, you mean that.” Agnes understood now.
“Only Family members will join my Clan.” Victor declared.
“That is quite restricted,” Sasha muttered.
“But it’s possible. He’s in a better position than us.” Natashia said.
“What do you mean?” Sasha asked.
“I’m saying that Clan Fulger, Snow, and Scarlett are bonded with Clan Alucard. Thus, he is, essentially speaking, superior to us. So it makes sense that entry into his Clan would be more restricted.”
“…Only the ‘Elite’ can enter his Clan and have the privilege of being close to a Progenitor, huh…” Ruby opened her eyes wide.
“This is quite clever. If this system is implemented, the hierarchy will split into three powers. Clan Alucard at the top, our three Houses second, and the third will be the ‘servants’ who have no name and need to prove themselves to enter one of these Houses in the future.”
“Although you don’t have a ‘Clan’ like mine or Snow’s to manage, and I don’t see Scathach’s changing in the future…” Natashia squinted at the redhead, and the woman remained neutral, proving her point…
“Then these servants will most likely join the Adrastella Clan… Although the criteria for joining that Clan is more severe than ours.”
Sasha was speechless when her mother included Clan Adrastella into their plans. ‘Is she that confident that Eleonor will accept the Alliance?’
However, when Sasha thought more deeply about the matter, she thought of Victor.
A man like Victor, if a woman weren’t careful, could easily be as addictive as a drug. Thus, when she thought of Eleanor’s relationship with him, she could understand where her mother’s confidence in the matter came from.
“You’re misunderstanding something.”
“Huh?” The women who were commenting looked at Victor.
“I don’t plan on adding any outsiders to my Clan. Only my Family will be included; by Family, I mean my Wives, children, and parents.”
“… Huh? But what about our allies, like the Goddesses, Fairies, etc.?” Violet asked.
“They don’t need to be from my Clan to be my allies, right?”
“Well, you’re not wrong, but isn’t it easier that way?” Violet spoke.
“Right, and because of that, the Leaders of the allied Races will be married to Darling,” Ruby spoke with a calculating smile.
Sasha, Natashia, Violet, Agnes, and Scathach’s faces twitched for a few seconds. They knew it, but they still didn’t like the proposal.
“The Vampires will be led by us, the three Clans of Vampire Counts, and Victor as their Progenitor.”
“Haruna will lead the Youkai.”
“The Goddesses by Aphrodite.”
“The Werewolves for Leona.”
“The Humans for Mizuki.”
“The Fairies by Roxanne.”
“The Gorgons by Medusa.”
“And so on. Each Race will have a female Leader who will be Victor’s Wife. That way, everyone will be Alucard’s ‘Family’.”
“Fufufufufu~” Ruby smiled with a twinkle in her eye.
‘Damn, she’s so hot when she’s like this!’ Victor thought with a slight smile on his face.
The girls who were connected with him turned their heads toward Victor and stared at the man for a few seconds, snorted, then turned back to look at Ruby.
“I already said I don’t like this shit. That means he has to marry unknown Bitches, and even I have my tolerance limits. So don’t blame me for turning these women to ashes.”
“….” Agnes nodded in agreement with her daughter.
“Huh? Who said he needs to marry someone?” Ruby’s smile grew a little.
“Eh? But you just said that!!” Violet snapped.
“Use your brain, Violet.” She spoke in a very serious tone, “If a Race is subordinate to one of the Wives, he doesn’t need to marry anyone!”
“… Huh?”
“For example, if Agnes conquers a Fire Spirit Race, the Fire Spirit Queen doesn’t need to marry Darling!”
“…” Literally, all the women’s eyes in the room started to glow blood-red; they were determined.
‘… Why does she already think that the Spirits in the picture will have a ‘Queen’ as their Leader?’ Victor couldn’t help thinking.
“Hmm, I know a Race of Demons that I need to take care of… Maybe, I should have a ‘conversation’ with Lilith too…” Morgana, who had been silent throughout the entire speech, began to speak.
“Can you beat Lilith?” Jeanne asked, “She’s a Demon Goddess, and a Progenitor, you know?”
“Probably. I say this because I don’t know what kind of benefit I will receive from Victor’s Bloodline. I assume it will be similar to what Kaguya experienced, that it will boost my current Bloodline, but I wasn’t a Noble Vampire originally, so I can’t say …” Morgana spoke.
“Hmm… I think it won’t be enough; Lilith is on the same level as a God King, you know?”
“Well, she’s not invincible, the proof of that is that Diablo is controlling her, and that plan to conquer the Demons is more in the future when the war ends, hopefully with the defeat of the Demons.”
“Interesting… Maybe I should annihilate some Angels? I feel like I can be the Leader of the Angels. It suits me better too.” Jeanne spoke her thoughts aloud.
“That sounds like fun… Let me know when you guys decide to do that, and I’ll come too.” Scathach spoke.
“Okay, I will let you know.” Jeanne and Morgana spoke at the same time.
“…” The girls broke out in a cold sweat when they saw the two being so casual about it. It was like they were going to buy food at the supermarket or something!
“Come to think of it, I know quite a few communities of Supernatural Beings…” Agnes spoke aloud.
“Mother, we just need to get those Races that are in the new city,” Violet spoke.
“Oh, that’s true,” Agnes spoke.
“Mother… How about taming those Demonic Beasts?” Sasha asked.
“…” And the answer she got from her mother was just a big smile, followed by a question:
“Where are we going to put the beast?”
“We can just leave them in the forest, but we will control everything and use them when necessary,” Sasha spoke.
“Hmm… I’ll go talk to Victoria about it. Maybe Hecate has some Magic to help with that. She’s the only Witch currently available after Arcane closed.” Natashia said.
Ruby had to contain her smile when she heard the girls’ discussion, and she couldn’t help but think: ‘All according to plan~, Good~’.
Deciding it was a good time to continue the matter at hand, Victor looked at his Maids:
“Back to the point, do you accept?”
“Yes!” Medusa/Roberta, Maria, and Bruna said at the same time.
No hesitation was seen in their eyes.
Victor smiled broadly in satisfaction.
“Kaguya.”
“Yes, Master.” Kaguya approached the girls, and they were given various documents.
“Here, your paperwork and wallet.”
“Eh? When did you prepare this?” Maria spoke.
“Since I became Master’s Wife. I needed to organize his Clan and make it exist in reality,” Kaguya spoke in a monotone.
“…” Victor rubbed his cheek, “Due to my problems, I barely had time to think about my Clan…” He really appreciated having Kaguya by his side now.
“I know, so I’ll take care of it for you, Master. That’s a Wife’s job, as well as a Maid’s.”
“Thank you for that…” Victor thanked him sincerely.
Sasha, Violet, Ruby, Agnes, Natashia, and even Scathach looked at Kaguya in cold sweats.
‘Isn’t she taking our position?’
The one who felt even more threatened was Violet. After all, that was the Main Wife’s job! It was her job! But she couldn’t do that because she literally had so much to do in those weeks, and now that she’d finished with that job, she was going to have to train non-stop, thus having no time to help Victor!
As if sensing Violet’s concerns, Kaguya looked at the white-haired woman and spoke:
“Don’t worry, Lady Violet.”
“Huh?”
“After all, I am a Maid before a Wife.”
Violet narrowed her eyes. She didn’t like what she heard; out of all the women present, Kaguya was the one she was closest to by far.
“But you are also his Wife, correct? So that job is in your charge, and you’ve done it splendidly. You don’t need to tell me that.”
“…” Victor opened his eyes slightly in shock, a shock that the other women present shared.
‘She really grew up…’ The girls thought.
Victor looked at Jeanne, and the blonde snorted in pride as if to say, “Look at the Queen I’m raising! She was looking at Violet as if she were her greatest creation.
‘Queen, huh… Looks like I have to think more deeply about this. My ‘Queen’ can’t be weak.’ Victor looked at Violet with a violent crimson glow.
If Violet weren’t too focused on Kaguya right now, she would have realized what kind of hole she’d been thrown into when Jeanne and Victor’s casual exchange took place.
Victor looked at Sasha and Ruby, too, as the glint in his eyes intensified, and plans began to form in his head.
He didn’t just want a ‘Queen’, for one simple reason, he understood that Violet sometimes couldn’t see things, things that only Ruby and Sasha could.
Ruby, with her wit and cunning.
Sasha, with her nobility, her charisma, and her kindness.
And Violet, with the strong leadership understanding as she demonstrated with Kaguya, and in the future, the Power she would have. After all, her personality made her more prone to evolve faster.
The three were necessary and would be the three pillars if Victor wasn’t here.
And then there were their mothers; Victor looked at the older women.
‘Agnes, Scathach, and Natashia are needed to deal with the darker matters; they are used to it after all, and they probably wouldn’t let their daughters into that snake pit.’
Kaguya displayed a small smile and said, “I know.”
“But I still prefer being a Maid.”
Only when Kaguya spoke those words again did Violet understand what she meant.
Kaguya wanted to be a Perfect Maid, and she wouldn’t give that up just because she ‘married’ her Master. She was a Maid before a Wife.
A Maid Wife.
‘Damn, her Maid fetish is extreme.’ Violet felt terrible for calling Kaguya’s dedication a fetish, which was why she didn’t say those words out loud… though she thought about it internally sometimes.
“Just do what you want. It’s your right as a Wife.” Violet spoke.
“I will.” Kaguya replied, “After all, as my Master’s personal Maid, I have to be with him 24 hours a day.”
Violet’s eyes widened when she heard that.
“Y-You…” Violet pointed her finger at Kaguya as she trembled. She wanted to scream, ‘Is this why you don’t want to leave the position of Maid? Is that it!? This place is full of snakes and cunning foxes!’
“Now that the Maid part is over… Let’s start the next ritual.” Victor looked at his Wives with genuine curiosity. He wanted to know what they were going to get.
“First, Agnes and Violet.”
