My Yandere Wives are Transcendents-Chapter 253: Welcome the Nex Academia, Miss Brynhildr

Fallen Continent

"Are these the fiends you captured, lurking around our territory?" the black-haired woman inquired from her majestic throne, her piercing gaze scrutinizing the four individuals kneeling before her.

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Her eyes, stormy and commanding, then shifted toward the gruesome scene of dozens of lifeless bodies strewn about. A heavy silence hung in the air as she remarked, "I explicitly mentioned they were of Monarch Level".

"Y-Your Majesty, but these weaklings were the ones lurking everywhere" one of them stammered with a trembling face.

"Tsk" Adriana, the black-haired woman, waved her hand with a flicker of disdain, turning the corpses to ashes and leaving behind empty soul crystals.

The room was thick with tension as she spoke, "It's been a day, and we have yet to find a dangerous monster lurking in this world" Inside, Adriana grappled with the weight of responsibility. 'What should I do...?'

"Your Majesty, I have a proposal" suddenly interjected a black-haired handsome man, lifting his head with an air of confidence.

Adriana's gaze intensified with suspicion. 'This bastard!' she silently cursed, knowing he was the one who planned to kidnap her daughter. However, lacking definitive proof, she couldn't act on her suspicions. With an indifferent tone masking her inner turmoil, she asked,

"Go ahead, Count Dracula".

"Why don't we set a bait for the monster?" Dracula suggested, a self-assured smile playing on his lips.

"Bait?" Adriana's frown deepened, mirroring the confusion etched on the faces of those present.

"Yes, I have something that attracts the Monster"

"...What is it?" Adriana asked, her frown deepening when she saw him taking ominous black feathers.

"Here..." Dracula presented the feathers, their eerie energy sending shivers through the room.

Adriana beckoned her hand, and one of the feathers floated toward her. As she analyzed it, a sense of danger sent a chill down her spine, yet she couldn't discern anything else.

"What is it and How does it work?"

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty..." Dracula vanished and reappeared with a human whose eyes were completely shrouded in black.

Seeing him with a fiend, the other counts turned vigilant, and a hushed tension settled over the room.

"L-Let me go!" The fiend wriggled in Dracula's hand, who simply released it.

"Huh?" The fiend stumbled as it attempted to escape, but when a strange smell tickled his nostrils, its attention was inexplicably drawn to the feather. With a crazed expression, it ran towards Adriana.

As other counts prepared to react, Adriana threw the black feather towards the fiend.

With a crazy expression, the fiend caught the black feather. The drool dripped from its mouth upon seething that feather closer...consumed it, and within a few minutes, it succumbed, white foam leaking from its mouth.

Raised eyebrows and exchanged glances filled the room as everyone witnessed this surreal event.

Count Dracula nodded in satisfaction and confidently stated, "Your Majesty, with this, we can---"

"Where did you get this?" Adriana interrupted, her voice cutting through the room like a blade.

"I found it in the 'S' Rank Dungeon" Count Dracula humbly replied, his demeanour revealing he didn't do anything wrong.

"I see... Are you sure it could attract the monster that came from the door?" Despite her disdain for him, Adriana prioritized the lives of the fallen continent's people, a conflict of emotions etched on her face.

"It will, Your Majesty," Dracula nodded, adding, "I just need time".

"....Fine" Adriana agreed.

Afterwards, Dracula sought permission to check and visit other continents in case the monster lurked elsewhere. The meeting continued, addressing people's welfare and other issues, until everyone left, leaving Adriana and her maid alone in the echoing chamber.

"Your Majesty, I am not sure how to say this, but are you sure about it?" the maid, who had silently listened, finally spoke with some hesitation, concern evident in her eyes.

"I don't have another choice; we need to find that 'thing' before anything happens" Adriana said seriously, her gaze distant and burdened with the weight of an impending threat.

Suddenly, Adriana's thoughts were interrupted by the vivid memory of someone's face.

"Did he leave her territory?" Adriana asked, leaning back on her majestic throne.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Lord Eli already left with Mariel" the maid answered with a hint of displeasure.

Noticing this subtle nuance, Adriana raised her eyes and cast a glance at the woman....a figure with long red and blue hair, azure-coloured eyes, two red horns protruding from her head, and a maid dress that accentuated her curvy and mature body.

"What happened?" Adriana inquired, sensing an underlying tension.

The maid shook her head before replying, "Nothing, Your Majesty... he is just like any other man who only thinks about their lower half".

"Hmm... did he seduce your other 'master'?" Adriana asked with a hint of curiosity, her voice carrying a subtle edge.

"...." The maid remained silent.

Receiving no answer, Adriana understood the unspoken truth.

She clenched the armrest, a surge of frustration building within her. She wanted to leave now. However, the memory of Lilith's moaning and begging sound flashed in her mind, a reminder that she had yet to receive her punishment for ignoring Eli.

And Somehow, she sensed her punishment would be harsher than Lilith's.

'Sigh'

Sighing, Adriana spoke again, "So, he seduced his stepmother?" She asked with a dejected expression, feeling a twinge of disgust about the tangled relationships where both mother and daughter were enamoured with Eli.

"....Yes" The maid answered, biting her lips.

"How is he going to face his sisters then?" Adriana questioned with an amusing smile as she reached for her phone. She wondered how Mariel's daughters would react to the news and dialled,

"Scylla? What's Eli doing now?" Adriana asked with curiosity. Due to Lilith, she couldn't stal--ahem....discreetly observe Eli anymore, so this was her only option.

However, the reply she received was unexpected,

"I am not your watchdog, Bitch~"

'Crack, Crack'

Adriana snapped, crushing the phone in her hand, veins pulsating on her forehead.

"YOU ARE THE THIEVING BITCH!!" Her voice reverberated in the dark palace, echoing the anger that consumed her.

That maid's gaze bore a weight of frustration and concern as she watched Adriana, 'Sigh, just how many women is he seducing and causing so much trouble for my masters?' she mused, her eyes reflecting a mix of exasperation and genuine worry.

She wasn't just any maid; she was the Head Maid working in Mariel's territory. Due to 'certain' reasons, she found herself serving both Mariel and Adriana. The complex dynamics were known only to Adriana, Mariel, and another one.

In her role as a maid, she felt a duty to support her masters, but an undercurrent of anger simmered within her at the thought of Asher Eli effortlessly manipulating both of them.

She was not only a Maid but also a count. The Count herself, with a lifetime of experiences, recognized Eli's manipulations when she witnessed her diligent master transform into a puppet under his influence, a stark departure from her usual self and yet, no one realized that.

She was the one first to realize that when she saw how her diligent Master changed into a love-struck maiden and only thought about Eli.

Yesterday marked her first face-to-face encounter with Eli. At that moment, he seemed like nothing more than a plain weakling with a somewhat handsome face. Wanting to maintain a facade of unfamiliarity, she acted like a stranger.

When she saw Mariel's slumbering body, she got furious and attempted to throw Eli without causing major injury otherwise Master Adriana would be sad so she simply ordered some Low-Level soldiers instead of Commanders who could easily catch Eli.

....Yet, against her intentions, he ended up with Mariel.

The maid felt a deep-seated disgust, and her lingering doubts solidified when she heard the moans of her mistress....a woman who had never yielded to a man before.

'He is dangerous Man!!'a she concluded, her thoughts filled with conviction.

Today, when Eli's gaze fell on her, waves of disgust and anger surged within her. Maintaining control, she ignored his thanks. She didn't like to cope with this kind of man....who knows, she might get manipulated by him if she spoke.

"Hello, Eli?" Hearing her master's voice, the maid snapped out of her thoughts and saw Adriana calling Eli.

However,

"My cute Little Vampire, I am waiting for your arrival, and be prepared mentally. I just found an interesting punishment~~"

This time, Adriana was the first one to end the call, her face turning crimson.

'See! I fucking knew it!' The maid screamed internally as she observed her master's uncharacteristic behaviour. Adriana blushed, her ears twitching with eagerness...a side of her that the maid had never witnessed before.

Determined to shield her masters from Eli's influence, the maid swore to herself that she would do whatever it took.

...

....

Somewhere in the Fallen Continent.

'Thud'

A resounding echoed as Dracula placed the lifeless body of the fiend, which had consumed the ominous black feather, on the ground.

"Hmm..." He stared at the fiend, his gaze piercing, before reaching for a black book with a door carved on its cover.

'flip, flip'

"I see... there were few changes compared to before.... Hmm, interesting. There are some new members. I guess the future changes every second" Dracula muttered in an interesting tone as he continued skimming the contents appearing on the blank pages.

'Woosshhh'

The air seemed to thicken with an eerie anticipation as his eyes fell on the last page.

"Heheh...." Dracula chuckled, a cryptic smile playing on his lips, before saying, "Yet, fate never changes... ah" with an amusing smile.

"KII!!"

A groaning voice suddenly filled the air. Dracula closed the book and observed as the dead fiend's body twitched and started to convulse.

Asgarez Dracula stared at the fiend's transforming body; it grew larger as his smile widened.

"Hehehehe..."

.....

...

Nex Academia

"Excuse me, Miss?"

"Yes?"

"What happened to your eyes?"

"I-I am sorry, I lost my eyes during the Monster rampage... Here, is the report from the doctors.....If you still want to see it, I can show it to you; however, the puss is still leaking and contagious....too gross and disgusting. Do you want to see it?"

"S-Shit!!-I-I mean n-no need Miss. S-So you are the new caretaker for the orphanage?"

"Yes"

"Do you have any experience?"

"Yes, Here..."

"Hmm... I see. Well then... Welcome to Nex Academia, Miss Brynhildr!" The staff from the teleportation station exclaimed with a big smile.

"Oh, thank you" replied the honey-haired woman with a blindfold, a small smile gracing her lips.

"Hmm, Miss, I think something is stuck in your hair?" The staff said as she removed a peculiar item from the honey-haired woman.

"What a weird black feather..." The staff mumbled, sensing an ominous aura emanating from it.
