Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

Chapter 175



—–

The Demon Kid, Erdrich, had fallen unconscious after being rescued by Eleanora, and we promptly took him away from the family while the Lord’s Wife, Concubine, and his two children were sleeping. The women were also brainwashed. It resulted in that Charlotte was an ally of Cassandra and helped her make the poison for Treebark, but that was also due to a brainwashing curse that made her feel very close to Cassandra as if she were her dearest sister that would do anything for her but now that she came back to her senses, she deeply regretted what she did and asked for forgiveness to Treebark.

“B-Brother…” Emilianna, the green-haired noble girl that was the brother of Erdrich cried when they took him away while he was sleeping. She was barely holding on herself, she had overused mana to protect herself and fell unconscious as well, but just barely woke up and saw him being taken away.

“Don’t take my brother away, please! Dad, how can you give my brother up for adoption?!” Cried Emilianna, feeling utterly heartbroken.

“Emilianna… Your brother is someone cursed. He cannot be kept in here or he would endanger the lives of all of you…” Sighed her father. “Please, you have to understand… The Priests will raise him and keep him safe. He has a power that could endanger the people around him. He needs to learn how to use it to do good instead of evil… Cassandra did to all of us.”

“…But I love my brother! How can you do this to me?! Erdrich! ERDRIIIIICCCHH!” The girl began to make quite the scene, but her mother quickly grabbed her away in her arms while she continued struggling and crying.

Meanwhile, the little Carl was more mature, although he was still sad that everything turned out to be this way. He was also feeling bad for his older brother Erdrich, and he hoped that he could come to visit him.

“C-Can brother come to visit us?” Asked Carl.

“No, he mustn’t step into this house… ever.” Said his father.

“W-What?! But father!” Cried Carl.

“Carl! You’re a man, your sister might cry, but you have to keep your composure!” His father reprimanded Carl, as the boy fell silent.

“If you want to, you can come to visit him in the church on the weekends… It would be the least you could do so the young Erdrich doesn’t feel completely abandoned.” Said Ellergest.

“…Fine, if Carl and Emilianna behave through the week, they might be allowed to go see their brother at the church.” Sighed the lord, despite showing a calm demeanor, he was also furious about what Cassandra had done to him and Treebark, and somehow now that she was dead, he seemed to be blaming the young Erdrich a lot for it and wanted him away from his sight.

I cannot blame him. Although I can’t imagine myself on his situation, I would say that I would feel the same way if I were the same type of feeble human with lack of experience as him. I suppose it is to be expected. He cannot possibly see the incredible potential the boy has. But I do.

He could become a good pawn, an ally that can use the power of demons would certainly be a powerful servant that I could employ in several types of scenarios and missions. In my previous life I had thousands if not millions of subjects, I am rather accustomed to having many serving me, and I feel it is right to raise those with potential to be at my side serving me and protecting me.

After all, I was a Lord, and a lord must always have his subjects. I cannot do everything in the world, even less now, so having a lot of such subjects is necessary… Also, because I earn EXP so slowly and my development is slow even after all these bonuses I have, having many allies that can compensate for what I lack has become even more necessary now that I am a feeble human.

Erdrich… He seems very interesting. I wish I could just adopt him, but I guess I cannot do that. I would have to go on the hard way and try to make him a “friend”… Sigh, how frustrating. Well, these are the things I have to go through as a human now.

After everything finally ended, we moved back to the Church, as the orphanage was right at its side, and Erdrich was given a small bed to rest in whenever he woke up, Ellergest would be called by a nun to explain to the boy what happened to him… and his new life.

And about Cassandra, the body was going to be cremated, but I took it for myself as part of the compensation with the excuse that they were now demon materials. Ellergest didn’t argued to it because he was too tired to doubt me and discuss with me, and just let it slide. I wrapped her corpse with leather and saved her inside a bag with Spatial Expansion inside. It has a limited amount of space so the corpse barely was able to fit inside. I had thought about cutting her into pieces but that wouldn’t be a nice sight to the priests in front of me.

After all of that, Ellergest invited us to the same tavern we visited the other day to celebrate today’s arduous victory. In there, Elisabeth, Jack, and Seth didn’t stop pestering me about how I was able to defeat her and why my spirit was so strong.

“H-How are you so strong, you damn kid?!” Said Jack. “L-Let’s fight right now! Let’s see how strong you are! Hic…” He was completely drunk after just a single beer, what a weakling.

“I am not interested in fighting you.” I said coldly, I didn’t really want to fight any longer.

“Blank, you were amazing! And your spirit was also amazing! You’re so amazing! Amazing, amazing!” Said Elisabeth.
