Shibuya, Hiiragi Family.
"Reporting to the Marshal, we have lost contact with Hiiragi Seishiro's squad and Shishin Ran's squad in Miyazu City, and squads near Kyoto have been attacked by a seemingly out-of-control Hiiragi Seishiro."
Hiiragi Tenri gave the order indifferently.
"Have all nearby squads rush there. If he can be controlled, capture him alive; if not, kill him directly. The Hiiragi Family has no need for uncontrollable trash."
"Yes!"
The subordinate withdrew.
There was no sadness in Hiiragi Tenri's single eye, only disappointment.
"Trash!"
...Early the next morning, Luke sat blankly on the bed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"What did I do yesterday... This is just... too awesome! Forcefully kissing Lady Krul, confessing! That's breaking the rules, Luke!"
After a while, Luke returned to normal and got up to wash.
"Keep a calm mind, keep a calm mind!"
Then he met Krul in the washroom, who had also just gotten up to wash.
"Morning!"
Luke greeted her naturally.
Krul didn't respond. Seeing Luke walk over, she sped up her washing.
Luke washed normally, saying nothing more. He took a mouthful of water and leaned over to spit it into the sink.
Krul was startled and took half a step back.
Luke was puzzled and tilted his head to look at Krul.
Krul was also a bit embarrassed. She had seen Luke suddenly lean down and thought he was going to kiss her again, so she subconsciously backed away, only to realize she had misunderstood.
She turned her small face away, not daring to meet Luke's eyes.
Luke found it funny but said nothing. He finished washing quickly and glanced at Krul again.
Krul was absent-minded at the moment, her thoughts unknown.
A mischievous grin appeared on Luke's face. He suddenly leaned in and kissed Krul's cheek, then immediately fled the washroom.
If the Luke of yesterday saw this, he would probably scold him for being cowardly—kissing and then running without seeing Lady Krul's reaction, how was that different from not kissing at all?
Krul stood frozen on the spot, making no further move for a long time.
Only after a good while did she belatedly touch the spot where Luke had kissed her, not knowing how to react.
After leaving the washroom, Luke pretended as if nothing had happened and read manga at the table in the main hall.
When Krul came out of the washroom and saw Luke's eyes couldn't stop glancing her way while he held the book upside down, she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
Krul walked directly behind Luke and gave him a slap on the head.
"Ouch!"
Luke cried out in pain, clutching his head.
A domestic violence woman!
"Come with me, Luke. It's time to meet the other Progenitors and discuss your rank."
Krul spoke abruptly.
Luke was stunned, feeling deeply confused.
Huh? Is there such a procedure? He hadn't heard of Mika having this in the original story.
Luke looked at Krul blankly, hoping for an explanation.
Krul saw the questioning look in Luke's eyes and said impatiently.
"Normally it would take over a hundred years, but since we're preparing to go to war with the Imperial Demon Army, getting you a status will make things much more convenient. Some unruly Vampires who don't recognize your status as my kin will still have to recognize your status as a Progenitor."
So that means I skipped the hundred-year internship and went straight to a permanent position? Why don't I believe the reason about 'convenient management'?
But Luke didn't think too much about it; going for a promotion wasn't a bad thing.
Krul called over a Lower-ranking Vampire and told him to notify Ferid and Crowley. Krul and Horn would come with Crowley.
Luke followed Krul to a room. It was very empty, with only one chair and no lighting equipment.
Luke entered the room and looked around; there was nothing special.
Luke sat down naturally in the chair.
Not gonna lie, it was quite comfortable.
"Get up!"
Krul stood beside Luke with her hands on her hips, speechless.
"That's my seat!"
Luke froze for a moment, then patted his thigh and asked tentatively.
"How about... you sit here?"
Krul said no more. Today's Luke had that same annoying vibe as before. She didn't waste words and aimed a kick at Luke's face.
Luke was startled and quickly stood up, catching Krul's foot in the process.
Seeing that Luke had no intention of letting go of her foot and was making her stand on one leg, Krul was now on the verge of exploding in anger.
"Haha~ You two really do have a good relationship."
Hearing the voice, Luke quickly let go of Krul's foot.
Krul had wanted to turn her head when she heard the voice, but because Luke suddenly let go, she lost her balance while standing on one leg and fell forward.
Since Luke was right in front of Krul, he subconsciously reached out to catch her.
And just like that, Krul fell into Luke's arms!
Ferid walked in and said with a smile.
"So sorry, am I interrupting your world for two?"
Krul quickly broke free from Luke's arms and gave him a pinch for good measure.
Luke bared his teeth in pain.
When a human girlfriend pinches you, it's acting cute, but when this Vampire girlfriend pinches you, she really plays for keeps!
Luke lifted his shirt to take a look. There were two scratches on his stomach from Krul's nails, and the area in between was a dark purple bruise.
It looked like a purple grape with a red thread through it.
"Yo, Lord Ferid, Queen Krul, and... Huh?! Luke, you're still alive, hahaha."
At this moment, Crowley also walked in with Krul and Horn.
Krul was also very excited to see Luke alive. She skipped over to him and circled around him.
"You're really something, you're still alive!"
Seeing Krul get so close, Krul frowned imperceptibly.
"Crowley, don't let your subordinates run wild. The Ancestor Council Meeting is not a place for playing around!"
Crowley quickly pulled Krul back and whispered.
"You really don't understand, do you!"
"What's wrong? I'm just curious. Besides, the meeting hasn't started yet, right?"
"Think about it, Luke is still standing here, so that rumor must be true."
"What rumor?"
"That Luke has actually won over Krul!"
"Ah! So impressive! Luke-kun!"
Krul was operating the equipment to start the communication and heard the conversation between Crowley and Krul. She glared at them, and the two finally settled down. Krul looked away, the tips of her ears slightly red, though fortunately, no one present noticed.
On Luke's side, he also heard the conversation between Crowley and the other. He thought of all the saddest things from his two lifetimes but still couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from curling up.
"Ah!"
"What's wrong, Luke?"
Luke suddenly cried out. Lord Ferid, who was beside him, asked with concern.
Luke shook his head with a bitter smile.
"No... it's nothing, haha. Thanks for the concern, Mother Ferid."
Luke secretly glared at Krul, and Krul glared back.
Why did you step on me?!
I think you don't really want to smile, so I'm helping you suppress those out-of-control corners of your mouth!
It hurts!
Serves you right!
Krul watched the two of them exchanging glances. Although she couldn't understand the meaning in their eyes, they seemed like a great couple to ship!
Ferid also watched with great interest from the side.
Krul had also finished setting up the equipment.
"The meeting is about to begin!"
