Chapter 430: The Vampire Princess Hung Up and Beaten!
"Understood."
Atre gazed at Ryohei, a touch of regret appearing on her face.
She didn't try to persuade him further—actually, she already understood before coming that she definitely couldn't convince Ryohei to join their tribe.
And coming here this time was just to execute the King's order.
"If you change your mind, you can contact us at any time. Our Vampire tribe will always welcome your joining!"
Atre got up from the sofa, walked up to Ryohei, took out a business card from her pocket, bent down, and offered it respectfully.
"Okay."
Ryohei reached out to take the business card and glanced at it—
In the upper right corner was a bat logo, with the words 'Educational Advisor Atre' written in the middle, and a line of address and contact information below.
He casually put the business card into his storage space.
"I told you Servant wouldn't agree, but you guys just wouldn't believe it and insisted on making a trip. Have you given up now?" Jashin-chan drank her tea leisurely from the side, making sarcastic remarks.
Atre looked at her without getting angry, her tone still steady:
"Inviting Mr. Ryohei to join our tribe is the King's decree. We couldn't possibly give up on executing it just because you said 'he won't agree'."
"You are a competent subordinate."
Minos ate her snacks, looking at Atre and expressing her approval.
"Thank you for your affirmation!"
Atre nodded to her in acknowledgment, then turned around and came in front of Ecute:
"Then... Her Highness the Princess, let's go back first. Mr. Ryohei already knows our tribe's intentions."
"Hmph—! Her Highness doesn't want to!"
Ecute turned her head away, puffed out her cheeks, like a child throwing a tantrum.
"Her Highness the Princess..."
Atre instantly felt it was a bit tricky and got a headache.
This child really makes people worry!
"Her Highness doesn't care! Her Highness is going to bring him back today so that Royal Father will praise Her Highness well!"
Ecute lay down on the sofa, kicking and flailing her arms and legs wildly, throwing a tantrum: "Even if we have to use force, we must force him to join us!"
"..." Second hurriedly shifted to the side to avoid being accidentally injured by Ecute.
"Her Highness the Princess, please stop messing around!"
Atre deepened her tone, bent down, and reached out to pull Ecute.
As a result, she was punched on the chin by her, biting the tip of her tongue. She let out a muffled groan and leaned back with a frown.
"Her Highness absolutely won't! No, no, no—!"
Ecute shouted, acting up even more happily.
This brat...!
Ryohei felt it was a bit noisy and frowned.
Meanwhile—
Atre closed her eyes, her patience exhausted, anger constantly welling up.
"So noisy, you stupid girl!"
She changed from her previous steadiness, clenched her fists, and scolded Ecute loudly: "Do you think you can change the result just by throwing a tantrum?"
"There should be a limit to being willful!"
Atre grabbed Ecute's wrist and pulled her up from the sofa.
She grabbed her head, bent her knee—
Bang—!
A clean and crisp knee strike sank into her lower abdomen, the muffled sound clearly audible in the living room.
Ecute instantly became quiet!
And after this strike, Atre let out a breath as if she had vented her frustration, returning to that steady appearance from before.
Yurine, Minos, and the others were dumbfounded watching this, and Second even widened her eyes.
"Sorry for showing you such a disgraceful display."
Atre picked up Ecute with one arm like holding a doll.
She walked out a few steps, turned around, bowed slightly to Ryohei and the others, and said: "We will take our leave first."
"Okay, take care."
Ryohei got up from the sofa and watched the vampire master and servant leave.
"They really have quite the contrast."
Yurine picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and sighed softly.
—Referring to the matter of Atre using a knee strike and taking Ecute away.
"Atre seems to be Ecute's educational advisor."
Jashin-chan tilted her head, remembering this point, and said to Yurine.
"Mn? Is that so? Then there's no problem."
"That child is really noisy; Second is still the cutest."
Ryohei took a step, walked to Second's side, and raised his hand to pat her small head.
"Ehehe~."
Praised, Second lifted her face, narrowed her eyes, and revealed a sweet smile.
"By the way."
Ryohei turned his head, looked at Jashin-chan, and asked: "When did you meet them?"
"Just a couple of days ago, when I was strolling on the street, I found a strange blood donation center."
Jashin-chan's words carried a bit of reminiscing flavor. She lifted her chin and said: "At the time, I even thought about doing a good deed and donating blood."
"Real or fake? You actually do good deeds?"
Yurine raised an eyebrow, looking at Jashin-chan with a face full of doubt.
"How rude! I occasionally show some kindness too!" Jashin-chan said dissatisfiedly.
"Alright."
Ryohei waved his hand to interrupt their conversation and called out: "Let's go out and buy ingredients."
"Okay."
...
When Ryohei and the others arrived at the wholesale market.
The first basement floor of the blood donation center—
Atre took off her black coat and hung it on the coat rack aside. She took down a small leather whip from the wall, turned around, and wearing high heels, came in front of Ecute with a stern face.
And at this time, Ecute had already had her hands tied and was hung in mid-air.
"Her Highness the Princess, what did you mean just now? I should have said that being willful and messing around is not allowed, right?"
"Her Highness knows she was wrong..."
Ecute said with a panicked face: "Spare my life, spare my life!"
"It's not that you know you were wrong; you just know you're going to get punished!"
Wearing only a white slim-fit T-shirt with a red bow tied at the neckline, paired with a suspender-style waist seal that highlighted her figure and gave a sense of bondage.
Her lower body was a black A-line high-waisted short skirt, her slender legs wrapped in black pantyhose. Atre walked around behind Ecute and swung the small leather whip at her butt.
Smack—!
"Eek-ya!" Ecute shuddered all over from the hit, letting out a short wail.
"Do you, you idiot, know what you just did?" Atre whipped her butt and roared loudly: "We went to invite people to join us, not to draw aggro!"
"Use your almond-sized brain to think! Is someone who can subdue angels, demons, dragons, and gods someone we can mess with?"
"Idiot!"
"So painful! Her Highness really knows she was wrong! Let Her Highness go!" Ecute struggled non-stop in mid-air, kicking her two short legs. Two streams of broad tears flowed down her face as she loudly admitted her mistakes.
