"It's good that you have a good reason to have taken me out of bed," Valentina said as she sat in a cozy red armchair.
"Lady Valentina, we have a message from the Vampire Queen Lisa Tepes," Asta said as he stood up and bowed.
'A mature man like this bowing? Doesn't he have pride?' the child thought, although new to the supernatural, pride was a natural thing for vampires in all stories.
"Just say it," Valentina replied, her ruby eyes completely lit up like neon.
"It's about the gathering of the races' rulers; she requests your presence," Asta said as he handed over a black and gold invitation.
"I see, we're already at that time, right?" Valentina said, recalling small memories of the last meetings. At the request of a few favors, Vlad asked her to accompany him twice.
"I refuse," Valentina said in a subtle tone.
"Eh?" Asta was surprised. "But, Lady Valentina!" Asta tried to start a conversation aggressively, and before he realized it, his arm had fallen to the ground, completely shredded.
"Respect," Skyla said while looking with neon-red eyes.
"First, the only one who still has any right to ask me for something is the Vampire King," Valentina raised her hand, pointing her finger upward.
"Second, I don't serve vampires; I only assist Vlad, so if Vlad doesn't ask, I won't follow anyone's orders," Valentina raised the second finger upward as well.
"Bow to speak to me; my son is present," Valentina lowered her hand, and soon the three sank into the ground, their bodies damaged and broken by the pressure.
Valentina stood up from the armchair and looked out the window; she looked at the child's face and simply gave a smile followed by a lesson.
"I know you understand what I'm saying, so this is your first lesson." Valentina held the child firmer, and then everything around began to catch fire.
"This is your first lesson, little Dante. Never bow to anything or anyone, even if that someone is a King. My son doesn't bow his head to anyone but me." A golden spear was summoned, the spear had engravings in runes and a blade with a red jewel.
"Roam the world as my flame. Gungnir," she threw the weapon forward, leaving everything in its path incinerated.
Vampire King's Castle, Capital of Arindel Vampire City
"Lisa." A tall man about two meters tall called out to the woman lost in thoughts and books.
The woman ignored the man due to her extreme focus during her research; the man felt a little bad, so he raised his hand and saw the blonde woman floating toward him.
"Eh?" she was surprised.
"I'm talking to you, Lisa," the man said.
"Yes, yes! Sorry, I was busy. What are you doing here? I thought you went to town," she asked curiously.
"Nosferatu said you did something reckless," he said in a neutral tone while looking directly into her eyes.
"I didn't do anything, dear. I don't know what you're talking about." She started to whistle and pace back and forth.
"I swear I didn't do anything, Vlad," she said while trying to disguise.
"Yes, and I'm a human," Vlad replied while looking behind Lisa through the window, he raised three fingers of his hand and in the next 3 seconds lowered each one. When they were all lowered, Lisa began to say something.
"Dear, she wouldn't do that, would she?" Lisa said, and soon something entered through the window into her back, impaling her from behind.
"I warned you," Vlad said while holding his now-impaled wife with a golden lance.
"Dear!" Lisa shouted in screams, feeling her life almost ending. "You deserved that," Vlad replied, then removed the lance.
"Ah!" she screamed in pain.
"I've told you several times not to provoke the Devastator," Vlad sighed while using his blood to heal his wife.
"But," Lisa tried to gesture, but soon she heard Vlad speak again in a somewhat sad tone.
"Do you think someone who killed a god would be afraid of me?" Vlad replied.
Gungnir had a small piece of paper catching fire on its handle; Vlad picked it up, and when he returned to where he was looking, the lance had disappeared completely.
"If you want to be killed, try jumping from the top of the vampire castle! Idiot! PS. I became a mother. Don't bother me."
