Vampire King's Harem

Chapter 20 That Kind Of Woman



Klaus and Irina run through the long, dark, and cold corridors of the Bronze Skull Sect. But walls are made of black stone and emit a deadly cold; in some parts, it is even possible to see some holes in the rock dripping strange liquid.

That place is by no means uncomfortable for Klaus; in fact, it could even be a safe refuge from the light. But for Irina, that's the opposite; despite becoming something new due to Klaus's blood, she still needs light, and that's why he wants to get her out of that place as soon as possible.

The couple runs for dozens of meters until one corridor leads to another and then stairs before they find more dark corridors. The place seems really enormous, and the more they run, the louder Klaus hears those strange footsteps.

After some minutes, they reach a fork. Both paths look the same, both long and dark corridors. And that makes Irina confused. "Which way should we go?"

"I have no idea." Klaus closes his eyes and concentrates on using his senses to analyze the paths. That way, he can smell and hear things hundreds of meters away, and it's only a small part of his powers.

As he expected, that whole place stinks death and many disgusting things, but Klaus can also clearly hear those bizarre footsteps; they're like an army marching, but instead of the sound of metal boots, what he hears is like bones hitting the cold stone floor.

"The footsteps come from there." He points to the path on the right.

"So let's go this way!" Irina takes Klaus' hand and leads him to the left path; she wants to avoid the likely undead army coming from the other direction.

Klaus just lets Irina lead him in the direction she wants, yet, he can't help but think that whatever path they take, it might be what the Sect Master expected them to do.

His instincts tell him they're in the Sect Master's trap, and she will keep everything under control until he gets a better idea of the big picture. Klaus never bothered to walk into the traps of even his most powerful enemies on Earth, but now he has someone to protect, so he needs to adapt to his new reality.

After running through some corridors, the couple arrives in a large chamber; only a few torches are illuminating the place, but it's enough for them to see many torture tools around and damaged skeletons becoming dust in the corners.

"Damn necromancers, they are the worst!" Irina feels sick just imagining what kind of wicked things the Bronze Skull Sect people do to their victims in places like that, and the worst part is that their victims are usually not human, like her people.

Klaus can feel anger, resentment, and even fear in Irina's tone, so he holds her hand tighter, bringing warm feelings to her heart. "Don't worry, my dear; since they brought me to their home, that means destiny is paying back."

She lovingly smiles at him as she uses her fingers to stroke his hand. "You're not a monster, Klaus, but it's okay if you act like one with these necromancers, the world will be a better place without them."

"Yeah." He agrees before leading her back the way they came. "Looks like we'll have to get past the undead to get out of this place."

"Mm!" Irina makes a cute agreement sound as she follows Klaus.

After returning to the fork, the couple takes the right path, and after climbing some stairs, they arrive at a large hall full of rooms.

There are tables, chairs, shelves, and other furniture everywhere, but there are few objects, such as books, in the place; in fact, it looks like they evacuated the place in a hurry.

"This place is enormous..." Irina comments while looking at the hall's large ceiling. "It's impressive that they created such a place underground."

Klaus is also impressed by that complex and gothic architecture; there was nothing like that on Earth. But now he's more focused on small details in the hall and bends down to pick up a book on the floor.

The book is written with characters that Klaus only recognizes from the information he obtained from the blood of those necromancers. However, he still can't read everything written in that language.

He also sees the drawing of a human body on the book's cover, but he is not interested in its contents but rather the thin layer of dust on it, which leaves a concerned expression on his face.

"What did you find there?" Irina notices Klaus' interest in the book, which also makes her curious.

Klaus hands the book to Irina as he looks around. "Look at this mess; it's like they left in a hurry..."

Irina makes a thoughtful expression. "I think it's natural; I mean, the Sect Master must have sent the disciples to retreat when she heard that we escaped."

"But what about this layer of dust on things around?" Klaus seems to understand something, but the fairy is still confused, so he explains his thoughts. "Even though that woman has told her people to retreat now, she has been planning it for a few days ago."

"Oh, I see." Irina exclaims. "So things have a fine layer of dust all over the place."

Klaus sighs as he finds it increasingly difficult to understand the Sect Master's plans. He's used to a more direct and bloody approach, but he can't leave Irina alone or lead her straight into a dangerous trap.

"That woman knew things would turn out like this... we're playing her game, a game she prepared in advance..." He thinks aloud, trying to get a better view of the big picture.

"But how could she know so many things about you??" Irina can't believe the Sect Master could have foreseen all the extraordinary things she saw Klaus doing.

"We were rats in her cage..." He comments as his eyes gleam with murderous desire. "She must have been watching us somehow... and she used our relationship to learn more about me, about the power of my blood."

Irina can't help but feel sorry. "So she was using me to learn more about you? That stupid bitch!"

"Do not blame yourself." Klaus tenderly smiles at Irina. "I figured she must have been aware of everything going on in that chamber, but I still needed your blood, and I didn't want to hide anything about me from you."

The fairy is thrilled by Klaus' words. "It's okay; that whore underestimates your power and especially our connection. She may have tried to use me to get to you, but now she can't separate us... you are already mi-"

"..." Irina closes her mouth before saying something that would make her very embarrassed.

"What were you saying?" Klaus asks in a teasing tone.

"Ahem!" She tries to stay calm. "I was just talking about being allies in the same boat, you know."

"Oh, the boat thing again…" He shakes his head with a fake disappointed expression. "I thought you were finally going to recognize our relationship."

She turns red from both anger and shyness. "Which relationship are you talking about??! That can't be romantic at all, right? After all, you haven't made any proposals to me... damn, you don't even say what feelings you have for me!"

Klaus tries to approach Irina. "My dear-"

"Don't give me that sweet talk!" She points at him. "You just keep seducing me with sensual words, touching me with your big hands... kissing me with those wonderful lips..."

As she speaks, Irina loses any resentment she has toward Klaus. In the end, she lets him hug her and starts to rub his nose onto her cheeks; his touch is so good that it makes her melt in his arms.

"You are so cute, Irina." Klaus comments as he gives peck kisses on her lips. "If you want a proposal, I can make you thousands; if you want me to declare my feelings for you, I can shout them for the whole world to hear; anything for my sweet Irina."

[FUCK!!] Irina really thinks her heart is going to melt now. Klaus seems to know exactly what her body, mind, and soul needs, and his every action seems perfectly done to delight her.

And even though she's enjoying so much all of that, she tries to contain the emotions spilling out of her heart. "I bet you were used to seducing the girls in your world this way! After using their bodies to your please, did you drink all their blood or something?"

[Damn, how can she be so accurate?] Klaus is startled as Irina perfectly describes all the relationships he ever had on Earth.

"My past on Earth means nothing now; all that matters is my future with you." He speaks in an honest tone as he looks into her eyes. "I'm willing to make everything right, so you don't have any complaints."

Irina can't feel any negative feelings as Klaus hugs and kisses her. "It's good that you think so... I won't make things easy for you!"

Klaus can't help but remember words he heard two millennia ago.

'Do you think I'm hot-headed, violent, and jealous?? Fuck you!! I hope you fall in love with a woman just like that, and then you'll get what you deserve!'
