Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 230 Cursed Child

Chapter 230 Cursed Child

"What the… f.u.c.k?!" Rudy yelled in disbelief. "Seriously? You kill the newborn babies because of some stupid belief? What the f.u.c.k is wrong with you vampires?!"

"As I said, nowadays they use sealing magic to delay the birth when it's the blue moon week. And mind you, no vampire has been born under the blue moon week for over 100,000 years. Jane is the only one."

"Wait a d.a.m.n minute…." Rudy turned to Virgil and asked, "So you are telling me that you all believe a 100,000 old controversy?!"

"Only if things could change so easily. " Virgil lowered his gaze and asked, "Answer me, Rudy. Did I make the right choice by keeping Jane alive even after so much protest from the royals and n.o.ble vampires?"

"..."

"Of course, the other vampires were also against this, but they couldn't dare to raise their voices against me. However, the royal and n.o.ble vampires can. Jane's own family wanted her dead. They were worried about their own pathetic life after believing something stupid. Tell me, Rudy. Did I do the right thing?" Virgil asked again.

"Had you killed her, she wouldn't be here. But she wouldn't have suffered or gone through all the pain she went through. You made the right choice by keeping her alive. After all, the child of the blue moon is cursed and causes calamities."

Rudy pointed his finger at the city and conjured a concentrated fireball.

"Guess what, Virgil? I will be the calamity."

Virgil didn't react or stop Rudy even though he knew what Rudy was going to do.

"One would think being a King is the best thing. They get to rule and do whatever they want. They have everything. But they are wrong. Maybe that's the case with other kings, but not with me."

"I may be the King, but I get called a coward behind my back. My uncle, cousins, their kids, they think I am not suitable to be a king because of my peaceful nature."

"…."

"I didn't choose to be a king. Rather, I would want someone to take my throne and become the King so I can break through all the shackles that are binding me."

Rudy crushed the fireball and lowered his hand. He never intended to shoot the fireball in the first place as only low and mid vampires lived in the city who were innocents. He only did that to see Virgil's reaction, but instead of doing something, he started his sad monologue.

"When I told Jane I would take revenge for her, she stopped me and told me that her suffering has nothing to do with me. She said I had no right to interfere in her personal matters. She said she had forgiven those pieces of s.h.i.ts."

"Neither have I. I can't be the King and a grandfather at the same time."

"But if they ever dared to even badmouth about Jane again, trust me, they will regret being born. So don't you dare try to stop me, or I won't hold back, even against you!"

"As a king, I cannot allow you to harm anyone. But as a grandfather, I couldn't have said it better myself," Virgil scoffed softly. "I won't stop you, but make sure to do that in my absence. Otherwise, I would have to interfere even against my wishes."

"I am glad to know that we are finally on the same terms now," Rudy nodded.

"But I honestly don't think you need to worry about that. No one messes with Jane now since she is one of the strongest vampires in this kingdom," he stated.

"Oh?" Rudy raised his brow in amus.e.m.e.nt and asked, "Is she stronger than Victus?"

"I think so. Jane is not allowed to partic.i.p.ate in any of the battle events, so I can't compare her strength with anyone."

"What about Rias? Is she stronger than Jane?" Rudy asked curiously.

"Your eyes shine with love when you talk about Rias." Virgil smiled at Rudy and said, "And no, Rias is not strong. As you already know, she barely has any vampire powers."

"Was Rias bullied the same way as Jane?"

"Well, she was criticized a lot since she is more of a human, but nothing close to what Jane has suffered," Virgil calmly responded. "I am happy that Jane has finally found someone she can be happy with. All this time, Rias was the only one she got along with."

A few seconds pa.s.sed as Rudy and Virgil admired the scenery. Virgil glanced at Rudy and waited for him to ask questions while Rudy thought of the remaining questions to ask.

'I will talk about Angelica with Jane. Virgil isn't needed for that.'

"So, any more questions?"

Rudy turned to Virgil and said with a smirk on his face: "I want to ask more about the vampires and the vampire world, but I am sure that Jane would be glad to help me out."

"Hmm. Then I will take my leave now." Virgil patted Rudy's shoulder and walked past him. But he stopped after a few steps and turned around.

"I forgot to mention one thing. Don't do anything reckless while you are here."

"..."

"The vampires will talk about you since you are a human, and they might even say some nasty things. But I would appreciate it if you could ignore that. They all grew up hating humans, so you can't blame them," he added.

"Yeah. your lord is to blame."

Suddenly, Jane came flying from the balcony and landed between Rudy and Virgil before retracting her wings.

She had an anxious look on her face, and she was breathing heavily. Seemingly, she came to them as fast as she could.

"Are you worried about me or your human lover?" Virgil asked jokingly with a grin on his face.

"Well…" Jane averted her gaze and didn't say anything. But it was obvious that she was more worried about Rudy.

"Anyway, you two should go have breakfast. And Jane, show Rudy around the city, will you?"

"Thank you… my King."

"No need to call me that when we are alone."

"Thank you, grandpa!"
