NTR: I became a noble?

Chapter 130: The lost ability

Perhaps the reason Ekaros died was not from bleeding but from the grief and pain of betrayal and being cucked.

...

While at it, Rae also explained to Ekaros that Earl Ian was planning to make Lisa the new Viscount but that was the case if she survived being buried in the rubble from the sneak attack earlier.

"Well, his eyes did look lost and blank. Only if he had honestly answered to me about the bloodstone. I could have framed the story in a way that would have hurt him less. But no! He was trying to mislead me even while dying."

Rae sighed as he recalled their vivid conversation.

"How could you do that to a noble woman?" Ekaros shouted with his remaining breath of vitality from his dying body.

When Rae thought it thoroughly, what he did was indeed cruel.

While the Viscount did painful training for the slightest chance to win the battle. His daughter in law Lisa was compensating for the inconvenience. She was buying them time with her body.

"Why do you despair, you did the same to your maids." Rae laughingly asked Ekaros, he recalled how bad things had turned out for the maids he had recruited.

He had wanted revenge, and what better way than telling Ekaros how he had exploited her daughter in law.

Although, Rae did not feel that the revenge was enough, but the reaction on the Viscount's face did make him feel good.

"They were lowlife " Ekaros replied with scorn in his voice. Being a noble, his view on civilians and commoners were no different than bugs.

He did not care for the harm on commoners or some lowly maids.

'Lowlife huh...' Rae could not believe the words that came out of the Viscount's mouth.

"Is that why you loved to spend time with them? Because they were lowlife." Rae laughed in sarcastic manner. He recalled how much time the guy had lavishly spent with the women he called lowlife.

"I am not despicable, it is my ability, corruption, it's drawback is that the woman I indulge with gets corrupted , not my fault."

Ekaros countered with a look of disgust and inconvenience.

"To remain sane, I had to transfer my corruption to a woman." Since the beginning years, the more he tapped into the powerful bloodline, the more he began to experience outbursts.

The problem had began those days. When he had awakened the bloodline, there were many pros to it and some cons too.

The con being he could not calm down his emotions, to relieve those emotions he had to indulge with woman.

However, the problem was that the woman he had sex with would turn into another person. There personality did a full one hundred eighty, they were turned into nymphomaniac of sorts.

"Your bloodline? You had these abilities before turning into a halfling?" Rae was surprised that Ekaros had awakened the bloodline long before he became a halfling demon vampire.

'Was it similar to the notepad ability I had? How did he not get to become the Viscount with the abilities?'

Rae thought in confusion, Ekaros did not look that useless to him. He had seen how well that guy planned for sneak attack. Someone with that calibre of scheming would not remain in shadows, not when the said person had big goals.

...

Back to present, Rae was rushing back to the academy riding a carriage. He was deep in thought about his encounter with Ekaros.

The man had died but left him with many theories. When he became a Vampire after tapping into the bloodline, he had turned into a young body, a physique full of youth and vitality.

But that was not the end of it. At the same time, he also got unique abilities like the shallow mind manipulation, and a better sense of ki.

So far, he had not thought much about the reason behind the sudden loss of his precious abilities. But seeing that, Ekaros also had an ability similar to corruption, he recalled the one stat which he used to get when he spent time with women.

'I used to get that prompt saying that the progress of corruption with a particular person had increased.'

'And how Ekaros explained about the corruption in the woman, that sounds same as what I used to get. It's just that, I had two abilities at the same time.'

'But my abilities were merged, or to be more accurate the moment I turned into a demon, My notepad ability vanished and I was left with a physique which could use the corruption ability directly through physical contact.'

'Unfortunately, the ability was not of much use because of my low level. And before I could begin to use my power well, I knew that I had to learn to suppress my aura as a demon.'

'Even though my knowledge of this world as a otherworlder was not very good. I still had the understanding to learn and suppress my demon bloodline before visiting the outside world.'

"In conclusion, because I did not become a true demon, I was allowed to have two abilities at the same time. The one called notepad was from Terias but at the moment of my transmigration I happened to awaken the corruption bloodline."

"The ability most probably awakened because of the excess soul strength in my body."

Finally he had some answers to his question. The question about the loss of abilities was finally answered. Unfortunately, it did not seem feasible for him to get the notepad ability again.

...

"What do we do now? Now that the lady looks to be out of danger... What should be done?"

A guard who looked to be a loyal one out of the many guards asked his colleagues. He was hesitant about the outcome but he helped Lisa nonetheless.

When Rae had left, he did not bother to give a command to anyone of them. The act of nonchalance left every one of them guarded but unsure about their duty.

They knew that it was difficult for Ekaros to lead them as their master again. However, their lord Ekaros was dealt with by the royal enforcer and the man did not even elect the next leader.

And the only person that royal enforcement officer named Rae communicated with was another stranger who looked to be very strong.

That stranger had ordered them to clean up the rubble and bring out Lisa from beneath it. The lady appeared to be in a comatose state, she neither moved nor communicated.

Things had taken a very bad turn for their noble family. There was no immediate leader left in the house, with only a six years old child left.

However, the strange man used his ability and Lisa was awake, she did not get healthy in an instant but she seemed to be able to recover within a week or two.

The man had crowned Lisa as the next leader of their noble family, though they were unsure of the man's intentions but the man had done them a big favour by healing their lady.

Also, the fact that the man was able to have one on one chat with the Royal enforcement officer was enough of a hint for them, that they should listen to his orders and take it as a guidance from the higher ups.

"Isn't it obvious? Since that good sir had ordered us to make Lisa our new lord, then we should do that." One of the other guards replied to his colleague.

His words had respect for that man who saved lady Lisa. It was obvious that a man who could heal a person out of comatose state was a really good healer or a very powerful person.

When compared with their strength as a guard of the Viscount family, the man appeared to be both strong and a competent healer to them.

"But don't we have that man? He is the Viscount's son, and should be his sole heir."

"That man? You know how capable that guy is. Even if we tell them that his father was murdered, he would first choose to secure his life and then decide if there is a need to become the Viscount." The guard said in contempt, he did not like the man at all.

"Let's wait for lady Lisa to become healthy again, and as for the next heir, you folks do not need to worry about that topic." The butler of the house scolded the guards who were discussing.

The guards bowed out of respect and left hurriedly as if they were caught by the master.

Though many of them had a hint of disgust in their eyes as they looked at the butler who was trying to show off his power at the moment.

As far as they could recall, the guy was bootlicking the stranger who healed lady Lisa. And that was not it, the butler had been with that man, even calling him to take up the position of Viscount.

Butler had some connections and due to his position, Harry had given him some help. The butler was able to avoid being caught in the battle, and he remained out of danger, only coming out after Rae had left.
