Chapter 216: “You Will Be Mine.”

"Why exactly do you have so many people under your control?" Jacob asked as he sat down on a bench stationed just by the front door. Disciples were still pouring out in never-ending numbers as the girl hovered around him, picking her nose still.

She moved in a restless manner and never actually decided to sit beside him, but she stayed close enough that Jacob could smell her rosy scent.

She was exceptionally cute, in the way that one would call a twelve-year-old child cute. The bright red hair clip matched her eye color and gums perfectly, her fangs were completely white, showing no signs of blemish whatsoever.

"Being at this school is hard, and it’s not because the activities are difficult, no...." She paused, as if to think of her next words carefully. "....In fact, they are rather easy. I’m just... I’m just used to servants, so I got them to take care of all my personal needs, you know... bathing, brushing my teeth, laundry, homework. The essentials."

She finished her statement with a wide, almost triumphant grin as she fidgeted. Even though she said she wasn’t a child, her mannerisms certainly embodied one. First of all, she never stayed in one spot for more than 3 seconds. She picked her nose a lot, albeit this time around she had a handkerchief to wipe the mucus as opposed to wiping it on a clean dress.

Jacob wondered how she was able to cultivate, but he dismissed the thought, as Vampires needed cultivation the least amongst all the races.

"Bathing?" Jacob raised a brow as he asked her, a hint of disapproval in his voice.

She immediately frowned and pouted her small lips. She gave the impression that she was not at all used to disapproval and hence needed to prove why she would have mind-controlled slaves go as far as bathing her.

"Well! Big brother Jacob, I would have you know that underneath this smallish body you see is a nineteen-year-old woman." She raised her head pridefully as she placed her hands on her waist.

’She’s even older than me.’ Jacob thought. It was rather interesting that this small girl, whom people would think belonged in a junior elementary school, was actually one whole year older than him.

"So why do you have the appearance of a ten-year-old?" Jacob smiled faintly. He would not reveal his age to her, as he quite enjoyed the feeling of being called her big brother, and he certainly looked the part, so no one would question it.

"Ten?!?!" She shouted as a sullen look appeared on her face. "Big brother Jacob, you are hurting me! I am not ten."

"Okay, okay, I know, I’m sorry. Enlighten me."

Upon hearing the word ’sorry,’ her smile reignited like a flame which had just come to life, and she suddenly sprung up like a rose again, dancing about. "Well... it was a curse put on my family by angels or something. The curse doesn’t let us actually start growing until we reach a hundred years old. So in my family, we look like children until we’re a hundred. Get it now, Big brother Jacob?"

"Yes, I do."

"If you ask me, it’s a stupid curse anyways, considering Vampires live for a thousand years, or even more. I just don’t like having people look at me like I’m a child. There are some different ones, though, who look at me lustfully. It makes me tingle inside." Her body shook with faint excitement as she said those words.

Jacob’s face turned pale as a sheet the second he heard those words come out of her mouth. Yes, this girl was certainly weird. He gauged the time he had spent here, and it was already about twenty minutes. He knew Violet would already be at the canteen waiting, and he did not want to keep her for too long.

So he decided to dismiss Allicent before she moved into another lewd topic. The way she had no restraint when she talked to him baffled him a lot. She talked to him like she’d known him for years, and yet this was only their second conversation.

"Well, Allicent, I have to go now. Since we’re in the same hostel and school, I’ll be seeing you more often, I guess." He uncrossed his legs and stood up rather slowly, embodying grace and royalty as he rose to his feet.

"Off to see that little girlfriend of yours, eh?" She snickered. "She’s very pretty. I just might take her from you."

"If you touch Violet, then you might as well be an adult." Jacob smiled even as he issued a very clear threat, one which sent the smallish woman bursting into laughter like a deranged person while Jacob casually walked past her.

"You will be mine one day, Jacob Ironfell," she said after a short pause. Jacob only raised a hand to wave back at her as he walked away. He could feel the sting of her bright red eyes watching his back as he disappeared into the distance, her mouth curved into a mischievous smile, putting her pearly white fangs on display.

Allicent had come to Mountain Elite Academy hoping to meet powerful fighters who would give her thrills and help her advance in strength, but instead she was met with a bunch of weak people who hadn’t even started to understand themselves yet.

Weak nobles with low cultivation realms, people who had never picked up a sword in their lives. She found other uses for them, using them to satisfy her desires and needs. To her, since they couldn’t give her the thrill that fighting to the death brought, it was better to keep them as a bunch of servants who did everything she asked.

She was on the verge of leaving the school until the moment she saw Jacob Ironfell. In that moment, everything changed. Finally, one strong person at the academy.

The girl he moved around with was also intriguing. The thought of fighting them both made her lick her lips with nothing but pleasure coursing through her veins.
