Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

Chapter 33 Curiosity Killed The Cat



Daimon was quite intrigued in how Aura fought against another half emperor and came out without even the slightest wound while her enemy received a heavy wound that although it was not lethal… the battle only lasted a couple of minutes.

Aura noticed his curiosity and she smiled.

“Don’t worry, as my “disciple” of course I will teach my fighting style, you have Disaster as your weapon so I’m pretty sure it will be useful for you”.

Elaine and Elizabeth were smiling a moment ago since the Jolbaris will leave them alone from now on, also they saw the small black core besides their original one and they wanted to ask Daimon more about it, but when they heard Aura saying that he managed to obtain Disaster they froze.

“M-mom, is that true… little Daimon made a contract with that sword?”, asked Elizabeth.

Erin sighed.

“Yes, don’t ask me how because even I don’t know how but not only, he obtained Disaster but he actually overwhelmed it even before it became his”.

Erin turned to see Daimon.

“Speaking of that, I believe a certain someone owe us an explanation of what happened right ♥?”.

Daimon felt their gazes piercing him and he cleared his throat.

“Ahem…. Auntie shouldn’t we enter the mansion first, besides…”.

He suddenly noticed that unlike Erin, Aura hasn’t told him how to call her, to be honest he was already considering calling them by their names at least when they were alone, they kissed him and he already “saw” them naked so what was there to be shy about how to address them, on the other hand Aura wasn’t his soulmate, “I could call her master, since she is treating me as her disciple I guess”, he thought.

Aura noticed her predicament and she ruffled his hair.

“I don’t have the same weird fetish as that old vixen, you can call me Aura with the only exception that on the academy you will need to call me master to keep on the act ♥”.

They entered the mansion and sat on the main hall, Elaine brought some drinks and pastry which she ordered to the chefs assigned to her mother, this time it was Aisha’s “turn” to have Daimon sitting on her lap so she was happily holding onto her son.

Aura noticed the strangely harmonious atmosphere they gave off even on their slightest interactions such as Erin pouring the tea on Daimon’s cup and Elizabeth feeding him some of the cookies personally and she doubted for a second before asking.

“Erin, it might be me overthinking but… did you got some kind of revelation from your heart mirror? Because instead of people who just recently got to know each other not only your daughters but also you look like little girls in love”.

Daimon almost choked with the cookie he was eating right now, “wasn’t the heart mirror a huge secret thing? and not only that, somehow Aura was actually right”.

Erin took a sip of tea from her cup and looked at Daimon before saying.

“You probably already know the answer yourself or you would have not mentioned the heart mirror, right?”.

Aura’s eyes narrowed a bit.

“I want to hear it directly from you… you know your plans and schemes don’t work with me and I can clearly see you are hiding something important from me”.

Erin smiled, “it worked on you this time though”, she thought.

“As long as little Daimon doesn’t mind me telling you then I don’t have a problem, but once you hear it, there is no going back”.

Aura was dying of curiosity, she has known Erin for more than one thousand years and they never kept anything secret from each other, to the point where they both knew their most important secrets, in Erin’s case is the existence of the heart mirror and as for Aura it will be… the origin of her incredible battle prowess.

Aura directed her attention to Daimon who was trying not to look nervous, for some reason it was hard to look directly at Aura’s eyes without feeling as if she could see through you”.

After a couple of seconds which seemed to be hours for Daimon, Aura finally couldn’t hold back her curiosity.

“Fine, I’m ok with whatever the consequence might be, knowing you it won’t be anything bad anyway, so tell me what could be amazing enough to captivate not only two Archmages but even an old cunning half emperor like you?”.

Daimon pretty much could foresee how this was going to end but there were only benefits for him on any case so when Erin asked him permission to speak about his past he agreed to it, not only because they already had a blood contract which didn’t allow them to betray each other, but because even before that such a cautious person like Erin trusted the existence of the heart mirror to Aura… when she prohibited her daughters to speak about it with Aisha.

Having gotten his permission Erin told Aura the complete story, including the fact that Daimon was actually Aisha’s son instead of her brother and the existence of the system in the way that Daimon interpreted it to them, a “grimoire” inherited to him by some unknown high existence, she put a special emphasize on the fact that the heart mirror went crazy the very moment she and her daughters met him.

Contrary to Daimon’s expectations Aura didn’t seem to care too much about the system, instead she was truly interested on the part when Erin told her about how she was now his soulmate and all the things that it meant being it, including the second core she had now.

“Wait!!!”, Aura extended her hand to stop Erin from continuing with the story.

“You cunning fox woman… you did all this “play” so I would get interested to the point where I wouldn’t have any other option but to ask you about all this!!!”.

Erin laughed.

“And you completely fell for it ♥”, she answered.

Elaine shook her head, although the idea of it passed through her head, she discarded it as fast as the thought appeared in her mind, but it turned to be true, her mother never tried to hide anything from Aura… instead all this plan was to made her meet Daimon and “appreciate” his potential, and she completely fell in the trap.

Aura was baffled, “I have never fell in any of her plans nor she has been able to trick me before so how?”.

Erin could guess what was she thinking.

“The best plans are those who don’t seem like one until their purpose is already fulfilled, I might not be as strong as you in battle but when it comes to craftiness if I declare myself to be the second no one can be the first”.

She smiled before continuing.

“On any case I got you the best option for a partner you will ever see I’m your best friend after all, and just like I told you now that you know it there is no going back, the curiosity killed the cat… or in this case the wolf ♥”.

Aura shook her head.

“I need a new best friend… he is too young for me you shameless fox woman, in fact he is too young for you too!!!”, she said.

Erin shrugged.

“So what? we are half emperors, although we often die in battle or due to the schemes of our enemies, normally our lifespan is above 80 thousand years, what does a mere two thousand years of difference account to?”.

The only one that was having troubles keeping up with their conversation was none other than Aisha, “Ughh, I’m already sharing my darling with too many girls and you are trying to get another one…”, she thought.

Even Evangeline had to admit she didn’t expect Erin to try bringing her best friend into Daimon’s “claws”, she laughed

“I have to say, you got one of the rarest “species” between all the types that exist… a woman that is actually helping you getting another one”

This time Daimon had no other option but to agree with her.

“Yes, even I’m surprised about that, but I have already decided to let it be, I don’t lose anything and now that I have core synchrony having more girls is the same as having enough strength to protect them”.

Evangeline was happy, “I guess that is why he somehow managed to bypass the restrictions of the system, the women around him are far stronger than him so he’s got no option but to work hard if he wants to catch up to them”.

Aura stopped discussing with Erin for a moment and she directly asked to Aisha.

“You are his mother, right? are you okay with all this situation”.

Aisha smiled.

“As long as my darling is happy, I have no complains… but I hope miss Erin tell me before trying to do something like this on the future”.

Aura now just wanted to confirm if Daimon knew about this.

“Kid… are you aware of what Erin is trying to do?”.

Daimon leaned against Aisha’s chest before answering.

“It also took me by surprise but I can understand why is she doing all this, unlike other people of this stellar chart we will be going to a more interesting place in the future and auntie probably wants her best friends to come with us”.

Aura calmed down.

“That might be true but, being the lover of such a young boy is still a bit…”.

Now that the they have come all the way to this point, Aisha decided to give Erin a helping hand just this time.

“I’m also my darling’s soulmate but all what the matriarch of the Argent clan is imagining hasn’t happened… yet, mmm the best way to describe it will be “all at its due time” I guess.

For the first time in her life Aura felt defeated, “I don’t know whether I’m the strange one here or them”, she thought
