Summoned and Unwanted-Chapter 726 - 726 My throat is burning, and my eyes are now open
726 My throat is burning, and my eyes are now open
The soldiers went to inform their superiors about who they saw approaching the city.
It didn’t take long for the archers to be ordered to stand down and allow Karta and the people she was transporting to pass over the city without being attacked.
Mimi, in her bat form, didn’t enter the city. She headed for the trees and shapeshifted into her vampire body. In front of her appeared a mysterious figure.
“Were you waiting for me?” She asked.
The figure approached, and the light of the moon illuminated his body. It was Vlad wearing a dark winter hooded cloak.
“The man you are following is more dangerous than you can imagine. After speaking with that Lucas human, we have arrived at a conclusion.”
“Conclusion? What do you mean by that?”
“Based on what that Dullahan woman said, we understood that if it consumed all the Dullahans and Cefeyes in the vicinity, its power would have drastically increased.”
“I understand that part. But what do you mean the two of you came to a Conclusion?”
.....
*Sigh* Vlad shook his head. “The less food nearby, the more that monster would’ve traveled to eat. The city would’ve been next, and the number of casualties would be in the triple digits.”
Mimi scratched her head. “I don’t understand what you are trying to tell me, father. Can you please not talk in a roundabout manner?”
“Only monsters can defeat other monsters the Seers Of Rebirth created. The man you are interested in is far more dangerous than you can imagine. That is the kind of monster you want to be with.”
“Hahaha.” Mimi started laughing. Even tears welled in her eyes, showing she found her father’s words amusing.
“What is wrong with you? Why are you laughing in my face?” Vlad angrily complained.
“Then shouldn’t you be happy Vincent is on our side? The Seers Of Rebirth threaten the world, and Vincent will fight against them. Furthermore, you are also a monster if you can do what Vincent does...” *Pftt* “But slower. Hahaha.”
*Tsk* Vlad clicked his tongue. He wasn’t happy to hear Vincent could somehow defeat the regenerating monsters faster than him.
*Hehee* “Thank you, father. I never knew you cared so much for me.” Mimi told Vlad with a beaming smile on her face.
Mimi saw her father in a different light now. Instead of a bastard who wanted to do nothing else but kill the man she chose to be with her entire life, Vlad appeared in her eyes to be a father who took some of his time to make sure the daughter he never planned to have was not going to live a life of suffering.
Mimi started to appreciate her father a little bit more than before now. Their father and daughter relationship was still on the verge of failing. Still, after Vlad showed signs of fatherly affection towards his daughter, the relationship managed to stabilize for now.
*Tsk* “I am leaving.” Vlad turned around.
“I don’t know if Vincent is your answer, father, but he isn’t your enemy either. ” Mimi said before turning around. “Please visit me at least in the judgment by combat. I would also love to at least see your shadow when I get married since I will be marrying the man I want without your blessing.”
Mimi shapeshifted into a bat and left after saying what she wanted to say.
Vlad looked at his daughter leaving. His fists were clenched, yet no sign of anger appeared on his face. What passed in his mind at this moment was a thing only he knew.
*Day 188 – 12 December – Sunday*
*Sniff... sniff... cou... cough... COUGH* Vincent forcefully opened his eye after feeling his throat burning like an inferno. He puked a reddish liquid with bits of what appeared to be herbs.
Iris was holding a glass of milk. Her hand nervously trembled as if she had done something wrong and felt guilty about it.
Vincent swiftly took the glass of milk and drowned his burning throat. “~Ahh~ now that feels a little better.” He said with a raspy voice. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢
“I am very sorry to give you what Awa and I made. Lilith told us we needed to give you a cocktail of revival made with enough spicy ingredients to wake up even those in a coma.” Iris explained apologetically.
[Good to see you are awake at last.] Said Kazumi, delighted to see the plan was successful.
Kazumi had told Jun Ye Rim about a plan to wake Vincent up. After hearing the plan, Jun Ye Rim promptly shared it with the others.
-I can see the gamble worked, but where am I?-
Vincent looked around him. The room he was in appeared to be luxurious and covered in more white and gold than any other color. However, it wasn’t a room he had ever seen before.
“Huh? What are the two of you doing there?” Vincent asked after seeing Lupa and Plow oddly on her lap in a corner.
“I hate grass. ” Lupa said while covering her nose.
“Smell very very bad.” *Pho!* Plow said while covering her small nose with her small paw.
Iris grabbed Vincent’s shirt and pulled it off. She asked Vincent to raise his arms up and shoved a clean shirt.
Vincent stared at Iris. He had never seen her act so aggressively before. Her behavior usually was gentile, and she did not act as if she was in a rush.
Lupa carrying Plow rushed to Vincent’s side after he was wearing a clean shirt.
Lupa hugged Vincent and started licking his cheek happily as if his cheeks were covered in sweets. On the other hand, Plow snuggled with Vincent’s stomach happily.
Vincent knew he was at fault. He made everyone he cared for worried about him.
Vincent moved his eyes as his head was locked in Lupa’s arms. He looked at Iris and noticed her looking at him nervously.
Vincent extended his arm and said, “Come... here...” while his cheek was being licked.
Iris opened her arms and hugged Vincent. She placed her cheek against his and closed her eyes as if she wanted to sleep.
The door opened. Ester and Lilith appeared. They saw Vincent still on the bed with Lupa on one side, Iris on the other, and Plow in the middle.
“I feel a little disappointed. There is no space left for me.” Ester sarcastically said while tears of joy welled in her eyes.
“This is romantic, but I want to be a part of it, as well. ” Lilith said with a delighted smile on her face.
[I can tell you what happened later. What you need to know now is one very simple and important thing. You are about to get married, and you need to hurry up as waking you up in this manner was left as one of the last resorts.]
“I am getting married?” Vincent questioned. He was both surprised and confused.
“I will go get the clothes. ” Ester said.
Lupa stopped hugging and licking Vincent. “I will help.”
“I am coming too. ” Iris said in an embarrassed voice and a pair of bright cheeks.
Lilith approached Vincent. She pulled out a handkerchief and wiped Vincent’s cheek from Lupa’s saliva.
“Only three hours remain until it is noon. Thankfully, you woke up on the first try.” Lilith informed Vincent with a warm smile on her face.
“Does it mean today is Sunday, and it is around nine o’clock in the morning?” Vincent averted his gaze and added, “Did you girls meet Awa? How was the situation after I fainted?”
“Yes, so you better get up so that we can dress you. ” Lilith responded with a sly grin.
[Vincent. You do not need to worry about a single thing. They accepted Awa with open arms after they had a lot of time to chat. Or so I was told.]
[Additionally, Lucas was left in charge of escorting the Dullahans to Lilith’s parent’s property. As for what will happen to the Cefeyes... I do not know...]
-Who brought me here so quickly?- Vincent curiously asked.
[It was Duchess Karta. She was the one who used her abundant pool of mana to use her wind manipulation to bring you, Awa, and her parents here.]
Vincent sensed Kazumi was not telling him everything. He wondered why she didn’t include Plow, as if she was trying to hide something from him.
Vincent placed Plow on the bed and stood up. He looked at his legs after noticing they were working without a single problem.
“How can I move without a problem?” Vincent questioned.
“Royal Doctor Duchess Hibiscus was the one who healed you. We should thank her officially next time.” Lilith said.
[Don’t worry. Apparently, she was requested not to look under the bandage wrapped around your waist.]
‘Awa did more than I expected. I should thank her.’ Vincent thought while not knowing it was Mimi who wrapped a bandage around his waist and requested Hibiscus not to look under it.
Ester, Lupa, and Iris brought the formal wedding suit. Afterward, they all hardheadedly helped Vincent wear the suit, even if he could do it by himself.
The door opened. A tall hooded person entered the room and closed the door in a hurry. The hooded person removed the hood, and Sakura’s face with tears welling in her eyes appeared.
Ester, Lupa, Iris, and Lilith moved out of the way the moment they saw Sakura lean her body to charge toward Vincent.
*Tap. ~Crack~* Sakura shortly gave Vincent a mighty bear hug. She couldn’t control her strength because of her excitement.
