Reincarnated into a New World As a Vampire

Chapter 102: Prelude 2

"Lady Ashire, if I may…" A man dressed in fine suit approached Ashire while rubbing both hands in a generous expression.

"Scurry off, I don't have time for this today."

Ashire wore a pissed look as she went about her business. She managed to acquire the item she came to the auction for, instead of entrusting its return to the appropriate hands, she decided to do it herself for safety, and also because she wished to meet with the dame who had sent her.

After dismissing the man, Ashire hurried to the wagon, the four ladies with her. She had an apprehensive edge to her steps as she walked into the wagon, and her mind was still occupied by other things.

Changing her mind midway before the wagon moved, Ashire asked the coachman to hold on, "I'll send the message through my summons, you all return to your respective duties, or whatever it is you were doing."

Summoning one of the ghost-like ghastly looking creature, Ashire paused for a bit, then summoned another minion, the same one that got cut into several pieces by Khal.

"Master, you summon." He said respectably, bowing his head a little. His actions gave much more live to him, a sharp contrast to the other summon beside him who just kept staring blankly at whatever was in front of it… well, it had no eyeballs to begin with.

The presence of the ghostly summons did fear the others who were sitting inside the wagon, after all, since there wasn't exactly a lot of space, they were in relative close proximity with the summons. Even the coachman outside felt a chill run down his spine when these summons appeared.

Not knowing the cause of his sudden fear, the coachman had to do a double take on his surroundings, he was no stranger to such later night work, so this was the first time in a very long time he had experienced this.

"I would leave such tasks to any of the others, but this is special." Ashire explained.

"Of course, master." Her summon answered respectfully.

"Take this…" She said, handing him a small palm sized wooden box that had an inlay of gold all around it. "Under no circumstance are you to stop and engage in any other activity, even if you were to be attacked, flee, don't stand to face your assailants. I'm handing such a task to you not because you're the strongest, but because you are the smartest, don't disappoint me." She said.

"Yes, master!..."

"Just to be safe, you will take this one with you. That is all, you may leave now, make haste."

With that, both summons left the wagon, as soon as they exited the wagon, their bodies dissipated into smoke that disappeared after a few seconds, leaving behind no trace of them.

With that done, Ashire was next to come down from the wagon. The moment she was out completely, she disappeared, and it became as though she truly was never there. Even though it seemed like she had teleported, Ashire had only become invisible, silencing even her steps to maintain complete invisibility.

The mere sight of this was a terrifying thing. The rest of the girls asked the coachman to move, returning them to their various homes.

A top a nearby roof, a figure clad in all black fitted attire watched the scene with great focus. Once Ashire exited the wagon and a few seconds later it started moving, the figure gestured using hand signals for those behind her to advance.

She remained back for a bit more, observing Ashire, after all, she could still see her. 'Unfortunately, we have to let you be… for now at least.' She thought to herself, before following behind her people.

If one was to look carefully, they would notice the faint and dull ruddiness of the scarlet eyes that could only belong to a vampire… but this vampire was also a master in stealth arts, so maybe that would be impossible.

-Several Weeks Later-

Apart from his closest subordinates who were all Blooded Vampires, Aldritch had specially selected a number of others to add to the ranks. Instead of using the blood he gained from the farms to better himself personally, he used it to create more Blooded Vampires, strengthening his ranks.

Amongst those chosen, Rykia, Desmond, Misa, Maggie, and a number of others, numbering up to a staggering 15 new blooded vampires. One other great Dame was also among them. The great Dame of Green, Melissa.

Unbeknownst to Aldritch, Lada had really turned more than half her personal attendants who were skilled in stealth into vampires, so the selection process became instantly easier with that. Aldritch quickly realized how his ranks were filled with more females than male, but he wasn't bothered.

Even though one would prefer male soldiers to fight for them rather than female, in a world where everyone could grow stronger, there was little excuse not to be strong… for those who are gifted of course. This kind of world was definitely one of those with the best gender equality clauses in its world laws… strength potential wise of course.

In the short time when she was made into a blooded vampire and the present time where she was headed to meet with Aldritch alongside others, Maggie could easily be considered the most determined, if that was the right way to put it.

She had been tasked with spying on the Chivalrous Saints, planted as a mole within their organization. The Chivalrous Saints who had been used to drag away the attention of the authorities performed wonderfully, even pulling a fast one on the authorities, shaking them off their trail. Honestly, it was quite surprising they could pull it off, but not totally unexpected.

Once Maggie was made into a blooded vampire, she effectively turned every single member of the Chivalrous Saints into vampires under her. Even before that, she had worked really hard and cunningly to gain their trust, and she was pretty favoured amongst them, so achieving this feat was only a matter of time.

The recently made blooded vampires soon made their way into the dinning room where Aldritch alongside the rest of the important family members were seated and discussing.

The dinning room and table had seen a lot of use in terms of such meetings as of late.

Without being told, everyone took a seat in different positions without any particular order, they simply took any available seat.

Once they were seated, Lada spoke, addressing why they were gathered and what the next phase of their plan was going to be.

Just as discussed before, they were now getting ready to take over the noble households during the monster attack.

"We will need to move in absolute unison for the most effective results. Of course, that will not be possible, so we will operate with account of a time error of plus or minus 10 five seconds. That is already a lot of time, so we'll have to fit everything in and trust the others you can't track to do their part.

Out there, your commander will be Rindher, he will take the responsibility of supervising all other groups to the best of his abilities, that also means that he can make important decisions if need be.

With that said…" Lada took a momentary pause as a piece of paper was sent her way, over the table. Ingrid also distributed the same paper to every other person except Aldritch who already had one. Using telekinesis, she could achieve such a feat easily.

Once she was sure that everyone had gotten their own paper, Lada continued, "this is the list of noble houses that we will be targeting, and following that is information pertaining to each one of them, make sure to study them well, especially the ones assigned to you. You can also find which group is assigned to which noble house there, make sure to take note."

Lada went on to say a few more things concerning the operation before she was done.

Throughout the meeting, Aldritch kept his input to a minimum. Not just because he wanted to, but there was scarcely any reason for him to make an input, after all, a man who knows when to and not to speak is one who holds much power… not in the literal sense of course.

"Most of you might not know this, but Maggie here had done something very impressive, and just as valuable. She was sent to keep tabs on the group of commoners who call themselves 'the chivalrous saints', only a few days ago, she succeeded in turning all of them into loyal vampires of our family." Ingrid said with a faint smile on her lips.

There were no applauds to follow her words, but that didn't mean that Maggie was not appreciated, as everyone gave her looks of approval and some even admiration.

"Of course, a reward is in stall for you, but that is not for me to decide." Ingrid said.

After she was done, also addressing other matters, Rindher spoke next, calling for the new blooded vampires to join him some time later so they could hold a little meeting concerning their upcoming assignment.

With everything addressed, everyone made their way out of the dinning room, leaving only a few others and Aldritch seated in his usual position at the head of the table.

"Maggie, you stay." He called out. Hearing this, she paused for a moment, then turned back and walked back to her seat, pulling it out a little and making herself comfortable, as much as she could.

Before her were four powerful and important figures in this ever growing family of theirs that felt more like an organization than family.

Sensing that Aldritch would want some privacy with Maggie, mostly to easer her mind, Ingrid, Lada, and Ralwa made their way out of the dinning room soon after, leaving only Maggie and Aldritch inside.

Looking at the young girl who sat quite some distance away from him, Aldritch adopted one of his usual comforting and leader-like smile as he spoke, "come on, let's take a little stroll."
