The Great Vampire General is a Girl! - Chapter 93
“I can’t agree with your wish, princess,” Raphael spoke in a slight whisper to her and showed remorse. He didn’t like hurting a girl’s feelings. The princess fell in love with him, but Raphael could not return that feeling.
Ivanka turned her face doubtfully. How long would she stay selfish? Ivanka didn’t think that she who always logical and critical now look so stupid. Ask him to have an affair? She had always thought of such women as disgraceful and lowly.
At every party of the Vampire nobility, she often encounters situations where she likes to blaspheme and bring down nobles who were proven to steal other people’s husbands or be flirtatious with married men. Ivanka hates people like them because king Dimitri also had several concubines and she knew her mother was not happy with her marriage.
But she has now become one of those women.
“I see, pardon my impolite attitude. I think time will help me to forget this feeling. But, are you still willing to be friends with me?” Ivanka looked at him expectantly. Deep and soulful. Raphael was uncomfortable when he knew that those feelings were directed at him.
“I don’t mind being just friends,” Raphael bowed slightly politely.
At that time they had come down from Mount Rubera. It was just before nightfall and Ivanka had carried enough devil grassroots in a woven bag tied with rope. Ivanka and Raphael managed to climb back up the ravine after finding an uphill path that wasn’t too steep.
Now the Jaguar team has done its job. They had discovered the economic potential for the state of Ithadurna and had to write a report to headquarters. Later, the military higher-ups— who used to carry out administrative duties —would discuss with Duke Radcliffe to decide on the next steps. It was no longer the business of Raphael and his friends. Although Edgar had said that they, as inventors of the marble quarry, were legally entitled to own shares in the business.
Gabe, their guide must be very happy right now. He was one of the inventors of the mine so he’ll be rich later. Although the exploration rights were still controlled by the Duke with the supervision of Florentia.
“Don’t you think there’s something odd about the two of them?” Damian whispered to Edgar. He pointed at Ivanka and Raphael who were walking side by side towards the bar whispering to each other.
“Yes, whereas before they were quite fierce, now that woman seems obedient to Raphael,”
“She said Raphael saved her life,” Damian thought.
“No, there must be something going on between them..two vampires of the opposite sex in a dark place with no one to watch over them— a lot of thing can happen,” Edgar smirked.
“You’re crazy! Do you mean our commander touched Lady Ivanka?” Damian could barely contain himself exclaiming, he covered his mouth. He didn’t want Raphael to hear it. The commander glanced behind him for a moment, giving him a suspicious look before returning to speak to Ivanka.
“Could be, Raphael parted ways with Valor— I mean Valerie, for more than a month. He’s also a man with biological needs,” Edgar concluded carelessly.
“We know Raphael, he couldn’t have done it,” Damian shook his head.
“No, something might have happened, I could guess,” Edgar said confidently. .
When Raphael once again looked at them, Edgar immediately gave a military salute with his right hand. Raphael was a little suspicious because it seemed as if Edgar was making fun of him. But he decided to ignore it.
When they arrived at the Bar, the atmosphere remained lively. The lights were turned on by a dynamo energy source that was driven by the flow of a river. Electricity was a new human creation, but the technology has been felt in almost all areas.
“Your Highness, Ivanka,” Amelia bowed to her while bending one of her legs. It was a sign of respect in the style of a noble’s daughter. Amelia did it gracefully even though she was wearing a hunter’s outfit.
“What? Are you guys following me here?” Ivanka was surprised to see Gregovich and Amelia there.
“Princess?”
“A princess?”
Damian and Edgar couldn’t hide their surprise. Because Ivanka was like an ordinary noble’s daughter.
“Why There are only two of you? Where—” Raphael immediately interrupted. He was worried that something had happened to his wife.
“We parted ways this afternoon, I think she’s already in town. I ended our training early because of Avalon’s business. She said she would be waiting for you. Then, how come you’re with Princess Ivanka?” Alex immediately answered.
“You can ask our guide directly, I and my subordinates must return to Duke Radcliffe’s mansion immediately. I’ll excuse myself sir Alex,” Raphael bowed, including doing the same to Ivanka. He then asked Edgar and Damian to follow him. The knights weren’t very friendly at the moment, since they knew those people were part of Avalon.
“They are all very attractive, why is Florentia full of handsome men?” Amelia sat at her desk with her chin on her back.
“It’s not fair that Valerie has it all, I want to make her suffer a little more,” Amelia complained.
“Stop talking stupid thing, Amelia,” Alex shook his head as he gulped the blood from his glass. Their table shunned Because all humans are afraid of Avalon. But Ithadurna was now controlled by Florentia so they couldn’t hunt arbitrarily.
“Y—you know sir Raphael?” Ivanka asked.
“He used to be my student,”
“His wife also trained her cursed weapon with sir Alex,” Amelia chimed in.
“Oh, is his wife also a cursed weapon user?” Ivanka asked quietly.
“Yeah, but she’s nothing special,” Amelia replied.
“Careful Amelia, she might surpass you,” Alex said lightly to her.
“So, princess, you caused the palace to panic because you left without saying goodbye. Did you find what you were looking for? You told your lady-in-waiting that you were looking for a cure for Prince Yuri?” Alex asked casually.
“No need to fool me, I know Yuri isn’t sick. I’ve heard it from Raphael,”
“Oh, what did he tell you?”
“About Yuri who might have demonic DNA on him, and I’m guessing father might be doing experiments on him,” Ivanka said furiously.
“How did that Florentia commander know about the demon’s DNA?” Amelia asked in surprise.
“I’ll explain later, of course for now she’s not too much of a threat to Avalon. You may feel I’m softening on them, but I know what you don’t know,” Alex gave a slightly mysterious expression.. Various plans filled his brain and what he was thinking wouldn’t be easy for Florentia.
