My Blood Legacy: Reincarnated as a Vampire

Chapter 162: The most trustworthy man in the world

"Seriously, why you two-" He stopped immediately seeing the situation and looked at Dante, feeling a familiar aura. "So you've revealed yourself, Ziriel," Simon said, and Dante smiled slightly.

"Hm? Ziriel?" Sara questioned confused, and Simon turned to both of them. "Congratulations, impulsive girls, you almost killed the only person who was on the Princess's side while I was busy," he said with a smile, and both... slightly broke.

"Hi, Simon," Dante said with a wave, his hand completely bloodied, and Simon looked at the two women.

"Just because you're desperate because of Dante doesn't mean you can attack everything you see," Simon reprimanded and raised his hands, and two witches Dante knew well appeared...

Sylvia and Yrniel.

"Well, well, if it isn't the new recruit... well, the new one, it seems we've got a surprise," Sylvia said mockingly as she pointed to Dante, who was completely broken and lifted him with telekinesis.

[Heal], Yrniel said, and Dante's body quickly regenerated... Well, many things were going through his mind...

For a second, he wanted to drop everything and embrace Nagasawa and Sara with all he had, but revealing his true essence now... could put them in danger. Or rather, put him in danger.

He knew they wouldn't accept something like this, especially because of the change in aura and race. If he were to reveal himself, it would be with his true awakened body, with his true aura, something he couldn't hide from them, and that would prove the truth. Although he could use his tricks and his memories, he didn't know if they would accept.

It was all for their own good!

"Thank you," Dante thanked Yrniel as he bowed in respect, and she nodded, while Simon looked at him analytically, thinking about several things.

'He's stronger than before, almost six times stronger than the last time I saw him using a female body, what are you up to? Sara and Nagasawa attacked you immediately when they saw you.' He was curious, even though he didn't feel anything. Sara and Nagasawa were different.

"He's using transfiguration," Sara commented via telepathy to Nagasawa, who nodded. "Vampire level at Master stage, but he's just a peak Specialist," she commented, and Sara was amazed.

"He's a demon," she commented, and Nagasawa nodded. "A Strong Demon." Their suspicions were being challenged by their own skepticism, because they knew demons, they killed several, but this one... was completely different.

"Keep an eye on him." Both nodded as they followed Simon. "Simon," Dante called, and he turned.

"Morgana is back, isn't she?" Dante questioned, and Simon's smile went from ear to ear. "Yes, my mistress has returned, that's why I took so long to come back."

"Where is she?" Dante said, possessed, and Simon denied the information. "Who knows? She's looking for a way to revive Dante, where did she go? Only she knows."

'Old bastard.' Dante muttered as he stood up properly and quickly felt an arm supporting him.

It was Velryna.

"Who are you? Why did you attack my Da- Arthur!" Velryna slightly stuttered and quickly changed the name.

"We apologize, princess, we felt... a demon," Sara said, looking into Dante's eyes, unaware of the truth.

"I understand, you must be talking about the infiltrators," Velryna said, shifting the focus from Dante to her, and Sara raised her eyebrows. "What infiltrators?"

"Feel again, celestial virtue miss," Dante said mockingly, and Sara focused, despite wanting to punch him again.

When she did... She didn't feel one or two demonic auras, but rather, several, at least over a hundred.

She looked at Velryna in alarm and slightly backed away from the woman. "W-What is all this?" She questioned, and Dante just looked into her eyes. "Those indirectly involved with the death of that man," Dante revealed.

'This is so stupid, talking about me in the third person like this, damn it! It's about my death!' He internally roared.

After this warm reunion full of hatred, they went inside the palace to talk, and Velryna began to explain the situation, as Dante showed the new problems about slaves and the existence of the demonic taint all over the city map.

"Are you telling me all of this was happening and the Emperor turned a blind eye to it?" Sara questioned, seeing Adam's incompetence in managing an empire. In that room, only Dante knew the reason for what was happening.

Adam was being poisoned, and most of the barons were already on Ethan's side. Well, there are several other reasons, but Adam wouldn't speak openly; he let all of this happen so that Velryna could take over without any problems, but Ethan got out of control.

"I can't be more precise because my information is limited, but... well, the Empress is on our side for now," Velryna said as she clenched her fists. "I didn't want you to get involved in all this, it can be dangerous," she said, well, it wasn't really her wish, but Dante's.

"Do they have any involvement in Dante's death?" Nagasawa questioned, dangerously looking at the princess. Nagasawa wasn't directing her anger at her, so she nodded slightly.

"It's not a certainty, as those who attacked Dante ten years ago may not be from the demonic cult, but these beings are certainly linked to demons, and maybe they can gain something from it... if Dante has been confirmed as the Demon King, then other demons may know something," Velryna explained.

In reality, she thought differently, but she just followed the script. 'Damn it, are you guys really idiots? The Man is on your side! He's right there!' She really wanted to shout loudly that Dante lives, but she respected Dante's idiotic decision.

To her, it still didn't make sense to give more time without having the one you love by your side. By telling them, Dante could have more help, but he didn't want to, why? She didn't know, and didn't want to.

'Idiot husband,' she thought, seeing the women's expressions completely obsessed with finding clues to avenge them, but... Dante was on their side.

"And who would this man be?" Sara asked suspiciously, and Dante looked at her in the eyes, disguising the new assets he wanted so much to hold.

"I'm one of the partners of the Black Jackal," he said, bowing slightly. "You can call me Arthur Antherio." Dante introduced himself, while the women, on the other hand, saw through his lies.

'He really is one of the partners, however... his name isn't Arthur,' Sara commented to Nagasawa, who nodded. 'Keep an eye on him.' They agreed.

'These two... are one or two kingdoms above me, and yet, they're completely oblivious to disguising what they do, they're talking telepathically without even trying to keep up appearances,' Dante thought, seeing the scheme they were both making.

"I need to go now," Dante said, standing up and caressing Velryna's head. "I'll be back later, I'll deal with those issues." Dante said and left the room, leaving only the three women and Simon.

Velryna saw Dante leave and turned to the women. "You better go find the Empress, she'll give you better details, and I believe there are things she wants to talk to you about Dante," Velryna said, and they nodded, but before that.

"You know he's lying, don't you?" Sara questioned seriously, and Velryna stood up and stared heavily at her. "I know his true name, I know who he is, and I know he wants to save this kingdom more than my own father. For me, that's enough, Imperial Princess Sara Vortex." She was sincere, and Sara could see truth in her words.

Furthermore, through humility, she managed to understand if Velryna could be controlled by that demon or not.

"Can he be trusted?" She questioned, and Velryna smiled. "I believe there's no man more trustworthy than him in this whole world."

"I know...", Nagasawa murmured, she was quite... unsettled, as if a piece was misplaced in this whole puzzle.
