Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

"Well, since we'll be busy from tomorrow, do you girls want to go shopping?"

"Eh? But shopping is tiresome."

"Can't we just order online?"

"…"

"I don't really want anything, darling."

Nikita and Selene complained, while Kumiko's honest fox tails swished as her eyes shone, while Risa started to swing on his arm flirting with him.

'So they would rather not shop?'

"I see… I was going to offer my card and—"

The moment, Nikolai extended his hand with his black card. But it vanished! There wasn't a thief, it was snatched by Nikita, who was lying on his lap. Then she teleported to the other side of the table. Then the other girls joined her, all filled with excitement.

'Huh?'

"I thought you didn't want to shop?"

Nikolai couldn't help but feel these girls could be so sneaky. He didn't mind because they were the women he adored. But the only one who remained consistent throughout was Kumiko, who wanted this from the start, and now her tails were swishing faster.

"This is different if it's darlings card. Then all the things we buy are gifts filled with your love!"

"Ah, Risa~ that's such a good idea!" Nikita leaned close to Risa as the two took the lead, calling out to the maids.

Selene joined them, but her face became bright red when she noticed Nikolai's teasing smirk.

"N-Nikolai, it's not like that…"

"Don't worry, buy something you like, it's my present to my lovely Selene."

His words made the beautiful vampire princess blush deeper. When he stood up and approached her, Selene remained motionless. He stepped in front of her and cupped her cheek, caressing her soft skin with a faint smile.

"Selene, you can be more honest with yourself. Okay?"

"Mhm, is it really okay?"

"Of course, go… I'll see you tonight."

Pah~

"Ah?"

Her face turned bright red after he spanked her lightly and mentioned her request to meet her at night. Nikolai knew how low her defence against these things was and enjoyed teasing her.

He couldn't help but lean forward and peck her soft red lips, causing the vampire's eyes to widen as tingles travelled down her spine.

"I… I get it!"

Selene muttered as she stumbled away, touching her lips after he kissed her.

But his main goal was the fox, watching him with expectant and shining eyes, her tails causing a small draft as they flicked behind her.

"Now, then, to my obedient and lovely fox."

"Wan!"

"???"

"Ah… ignore that, embarrassing."

Kumiko's face turned bright red, her tails slapping the ground, while Nikolai couldn't help but chuckle, remembering how he made her bark each time she reached a climax after their second time at the hotel.

"Maybe you aren't so innocent, always tempting and seducing me."

"Nikolai!" Kumiko gasped, while putting her hands over Nikolai's mouth, her eyes closed tightly as she made cute sounds.

He pulled her into his arms, hugging her tight while whispering into her tall fluffy ears, "buy anything you like, and relax today. I hope you have a nice time with the girls." Nikolai kissed the tip of her nose, before stepping back, the warmth and citrus scent of her perfume fading as she suddenly lunged at him and grabbed his cheeks.

"Mmmph?!" Nikolai's eyes widened.

By the time he realised what happened, the warm and sweet taste of the small lemon candy Kumiko was eating filled his mouth.

Her soft, squishy tongue wrapped around his before she pushed it into his mouth. Before quickly pulling away, a thick strand of saliva dripping from her tongue as she closed her lips.

Pop!

"Hehe~ there's my gift to you, fufu I can tell you enjoyed it."

Kumiko winked at Nikolai, her hand sliding along his crotch, feeling his half erect tent, and skipped away, brushing his cheeks with her tails, leaving her scent lingering on his body.

"Somehow I feel that I have an increased affinity with foxes…"

Nikolai wiped the remnant of Kumiko's drool from his lips before sucking on the small lemon candy. He wondered how she could seduce him with such finesse and ease.

"Young Lord." Leona called Nikolai from the side, she wasn't in her maid outfit but a casual green dress.

"What's the matter Leona, you can call me Nikolai when you're not on duty."

"But that would affect discipline, My Lord."

'So stiff!'

"Well, forget it. Tell me what's wrong."

He didn't mind if the maids were more relaxed while not working. Nikolai didn't want to make their lives difficult just because he was lucky enough to be his father's son.

"Ah, of course." Her eyes seemed a little reluctant, before she cleared her throat and built up the courage. "It seems that someone from the Báthory clan has arrived at the mansion, and the Lord requested your presence."

'I see, she told me today I wouldn't need to do anything and I gave her time off.'

"No problem, but you can enjoy your day off, Leona."

"But My Lord…"

Occasionally, Leona stopped calling him young lord and would treat him as if he were already her lord. This made Nikolai happy, to be accepted by one of the head maids was important to him and would help in the future.

'Well, I am thinking a little too far ahead.'

"Leona, though, I need you. I would rather not take back my words when giving you some time to rest. Okay?"

He could feel that she was reluctant, so Nikolai patted the top of Leona's head before leaving. "I will be counting on you tomorrow, so get some rest, that's an order."

Because he left quickly, Leona never got the chance to change his mind, watching his back with a bitter smile on her lips, as she touched her head, and walked back to the mansion. When she returned, Nikolai had already reached the main building. The enormous fortress always amazed him each time he saw it.

"Well, I wonder who came to visit."

[Me too, is it my father? He tried to contact you in the past.]

Nikolai didn't know and remained calm, wondering who came as the substitute maid guided him to the meeting room. She wasn't as attentive as Leona, but Nikolai didn't mind because she was respectful and didn't damage the Volkov name.

"Young Lord, the master is waiting inside."

"Thanks, Tanya, it was a pleasure to meet you."

"A-Ah… thank you, Young Lord!"

"Hm?"

He watched the blushing maid almost rushing away—her steps almost bouncing off the ground. Nikolai tilted his head confused, but only for a few moments, as he knocked on the door. "Grandfather, it's me. Nikolai."

"Ah? Did I hear correctly?" A smooth male voice emerged.

"Yes, Nikolai has arrived. I brought him like you asked." His grandfather replied with a chuckle. "Come inside, my child."

After the confirmation, he pushed the heavy oak doors and walked into the large meeting room. Inside stood a tall, handsome-looking older man and two others.

'Wow those two women look like Mother!'

[Ah… Karoline… Adela!]

Nikolai's mother called out two names with affection.

Stood behind the old man with silver hair and red eyes were two women almost identical to Elizabeth.

One with a pure black bob and crimson eyes, while the other's hair was tied into a half-braid flopped over her shoulder with the rest loose.

"Welcome, Nikolai, it's good to see you."

However, Nikolai's eyes focused on the two women. He couldn't help but feel their intense looks focused on him.

Because of his bloodline becoming stable, his hair became silver like his father and his eyes were crimson red like his mother. His lips curled into a smile as he bowed politely to the trio.

"It is my pleasure to meet three members of the Báthory clan, Grandfather Alphonse, Aunt Karoline, and Aunt Adela. You have travelled far to visit us in this distant land."

"Oh my?"

"Oho?"

"Hmm?" Alphonse narrowed his eyes with a curious gaze, but that only lasted a moment before his emotionless face transformed, showing a faint smile. "After all, the blood of our Báthory runs through your veins… that pretty face shape, is just like Elizabeth."

"Sister~ he knew our names, our cute little nephew is gorgeous."

"I know Adela~ he looks so lovely, and reminds me of big sister!"

Nikolai took in their compliments, and while they did slightly resemble Elizabeth, the way they moved, dressed and carried themselves were much more provocative, but he kept his feelings hidden, greeting the two politely.

[They've grown so much. When I first met them, they were only children.]

He could feel his mother's emotions.

That's why he didn't want to rush the meeting. Nikolai gazed at the two, learning that Adela was the girl with long braided hair and Karoline had a bob.

But in terms of appearance, they were so similar. Their skin looked pale, and while they appeared to be identical twins, they had distinctive features.

"I can't believe my mother had such beautiful sisters."

"You are so handsome, Little Nikolai, we wish for the best in life, do come and meet your Aunts, here look I brought some high vintage virgin bloodline, it's perfectly aged." Adela seemed more friendly, while Karoline watched with gentle eyes, as Alphonse and Viktor sat together.

Pop!

Adela popped the cork and gestured for Nikolai to enjoy the scent. "Enjoy the fragrance."

Nikolai closed his eyes as the fruity citrus scent filled the air. Though it was quite delicious, he couldn't help but think about Kumiko and Selene's blood, unable to compare the scent of their blood to this vintage.

'Well, it's better than normal bloodwine.'

"It's a nice, sharp scent, but my women have a much more delicious aroma."

"Haha~ little nephew, you have several women, such a playboy."

"Well it just happened, I am sure Aunt Adela could have any man she wished with that face and lively personality."

The two got along better than Nikolai thought.

Meanwhile, Karoline became like a chaperone and watched over the two younger vampires enjoying wine suddenly.

"So, Alphonse what did you come today for. I thought the Báthory clan avoided the spotlight."

"I've come to offer our support to the Moonlight Alliance, and bestow my grandson with the title of Báthory's Heir."

The moment Alphonse spoke, the room became silent.

Shocked at the comment, Nikolai almost dropped the bottle of wine.
