Rebirth: Childhood friend of the heroine-Chapter 201 - 200- Trying a few things

"What is she doing there?" It was Edric's reaction to the information that came out reflexively.

He just couldn't stop himself from exclaiming, forgetting for a moment, who he was talking to.

Amanda tugged his shirt from the side, which helped Edric realize his mistake before he sat back down and lowered his head slightly in apology.

Azeroth didn't mind as he told them, "The Knight Commander is an old acquaintance with one of the tribal chiefs, so it seems he used the old friendship to provide his daughter a training ground."

Edric really wanted to ask, 'How was she, or has she gotten stronger?' but it was like Amanda read his thoughts and shook her head.

The Vampire Lord wasn't their informer and just because the man appeared friendly, they shouldn't test his patience.

Alex politely asked, "I will respond to the invitation."

Azeroth looked thankful as he uttered, "I will prepare the carriage for you." After a brief pause, he added, "And you need not worry about your security; I take responsibility for it."

Azeroth was not unaware of the discord between Alex and the members of a certain clan.

First, a rogue wolfkin attacked Alex and Edric before a whole horde went to Chainedvale to hunt him down—only to fail miserably.

Naturally, anyone would be doubtful and hesitant to visit the realm where those reside who were after his life. However, here things were about their world and it wasn't like Alex visited his enemy's territory for the first time(Allen).

Alex nodded, "Understood, thank you."

The dinner went peacefully after that. The Vampire Monarch informed a few things about the other realms.

It turned out, it wasn't just humans who were forming a barrier around their territory in the hopes of facing the disaster. The elves held the same mindset as well.

"I tried to convince them, but it doesn't seem they would be getting involved in this."

Hearing the oldest one's words, Alex frowned. However, it wasn't him who spoke.

"They went against my words and are being blind." Maybe the only person in the room who could speak such freely other than Natasha was the Saintess. And it was seen in her tone how displeased she was.

Azeroth heaved a sigh, "I have left a few responsible diplomats behind to convince the eldest chief—if he agrees then we could proceed with our selection."

The silence didn't persist for long before Amanda asked, "Sis, they are indebted to you, no? Can't you..y'know, force them a little to stop with this childishness?"

Call her rude since she was targeting a whole race here. However, there was none who disagreed with Amanda when she heard her calling them immature.

"Panic makes one behave in a way which usually they also would regard as absurd." Sarah responded in a tone that reflected sympathy but there was a tinge of frustration as well.

Azeroth nodded, "Yes, that is absolutely correct."

A heavy silence descended in the dining hall and the only thing that made a sound was the occasional clinking of a spoon against the dinnerware.

Alex was contemplating something seriously. He couldn't be wrong about something. In the final ten, there were two elves as well.

Sarah glanced at her man and she knew what he was thinking about.

However, she had already thought about something to deal with that situation, so he didn't need to worry.

The dinner didn't last for long before they were allowed to return to their rooms.

Alex heaved a sigh as he sat down on the couch and unhooked his bowtie.

It was kind of tiring, more than the training he did in the morning.

Edric asked him to meet in the back garden in half an hour.

Sarah was with the Vampire Monarch in his study with Natasha—seemingly, Azeroth had to share something with her that he didn't want others to hear. Well, Alex would get to hear it later so he wasn't concerned.

"Want my help?" Seeing Alex struggling with the tie, Celestria asked, but before he could respond, Rebecca was already on top of him.

She straddled his lap and began to untie it.

Alex was taken aback as he straightened his back a little and glanced at Celestria.

The blond Princess pouted but didn't say anything before going to take her clothes from the cupboard and heading toward the bathroom.

Rebecca seemed shy about something when she muttered in a hushed tone, "I had a conversation with His Majesty before the dinner."

Alex raised his brows, "I heard. What did he say?"

Rebecca smilingly told him, "He asked about father and mother. He even told me things about them when they used to live here and worked for the royal family."

"I heard your father was a vampire Duke while your mother was in the intelligence department of the royal family?"

Rebecca smiled shyly, "How do you know so much?"

"You told me during our trip to Whiteden."

Rebecca was surprised, "You were paying attention? I thought I was just talking to myself."

Alex circled his hand around her waist as he murmured, "You never noticed but my eyes were on you since the day we met."

Rebecca whined, "Liar. You were glaring daggers at me and even told my mother to send me away."

Alex apologetically said, "I didn't know you at that time; I just thought you were a weird girl. But I was proven wrong after I got to know you."

Rebecca lowered her head slightly as she asked, "What now…what do you think about me now?"

"What I think huh…you are beautiful and strong. When you complain, you appear adorable, and when you fight, that aggressive expression makes you look hot."

Rebecca grinned as she drew closer to his ear before seductively whispering, "I am not fighting anyone right now, yet it seems I have made you hot and bothered." When she said that, she moved her waist back and forth.

The slight stiffness under her meat buns was all she needed to feel to know that he craved her.

"Can you blame me?" Alex retaliated as he held her bountiful assets and gave a firm squeeze.

Their eyes locked; without speaking, they knew what the other one wanted.

Suddenly, the door of the bathroom opened and Rebecca jolted.

Celestria looked at the duo before she complained, "You guys are still flirting? Rebecca, don't you have to take a bath?"

Rebecca glanced between Alex and the Princess before she nodded and hopped off his lap.

She didn't want her first time to be in this sweaty condition as well.

Celestria saw her going inside before she approached Alex and said, "First Sarah and now her…have you completely forgotten about me?"

Seeing the girl grumbling, Alex got up before pulling her closer, "I told you we could go all together, but you were hesitant."

Celestria blushed, "I-I am not prepared for it…showing that side of mine to anyone else other than you."

Alex could understand. Even Sarah seemed a little hesitant, and it was Rebecca's first time so he didn't want to push her into an uncomfortable situation.

"Hmm, okay, I understand." Alex gave a light kiss on her cheek before telling her, "I will go join Edric. Tell Rebecca that I will be back in an hour."

-------**------

Alex walked out of the castle, feeling slightly dissatisfied but he was able to calm down soon enough to not let it appear on his face.

He appeared in the back garden and found Edric standing there, under the moon with his ears slightly stretched.

However, by just his aura, and the overwhelming SE, he could tell that he was facing a Vampiric Edric.

"Hey," He called out before Edric turned to look at his friend.

Edric had a frown on his face when he said, "I have been thinking for some time now, Alex, that you think I would be able to elevate my control over this form by consuming blood?"

Alex shielded his body, "I ain't giving you any."

Edric rolled his eyes, "I am not asking you either. I just want to exhaust myself today and consume blood after that to see if it is effective."

The best essence to strengthen a vampire is blood. However, this was the first time for Edric to follow a transformation's true tendencies. He has never consumed someone while being in his wolf form, nor tried having herbs as his only source of nutrition as an elf.

However, as a Vampire, he was thinking of trying a few things.

Alex thought for a few moments, feeling not completely convinced. However, soon he said,

"Okay, let's see. Are you ready?"

--however, Alex would soon regret not listening to his instincts and not stopping Edric.

A/N:-. If anyone is wondering, there won't be any yuri between harem members. I actually don't mind(If you have read my other work, you would know), but since people don't like it, I guess it can't be helped.
