Reincarnated into a New World As a Vampire

Chapter 88: A Lady's Trouble

The Lionheart family happened to be such punctual people, showing up for a burial scheduled after just a few days was really impressive, since normally it would take a long time for the travels from those members of the family who resided far away.

Well, it was also due to the fact that members of their family don't marry out so much, as they were kind of inbred, preferring to preserve their pure bloodline and power, marrying partners from the branch family who were vessels of the Lionheart from long ago. The process was complicated, but it worked.

The only ones that had to come from afar were those fighting in the war around the borders and whoever had travelled out.

With the Lionheart family under control, it was only a matter of time before the rest followed suite, either that, or they would be forced into subservience by the Lionheart family that now had a rather powerful backing.

"Following that, the monster invasion plan is also coming along well and will be put into fruition in a month's time at most. Our plan to act on the rest of the noble houses during that period has been further solidified giving the recent developments. With the ongoing war reaching its climax, the kingdom has started employing mercenaries openly now, offering desirable benefits and rewards…"

"They've grown short on their own soldiers and their forces back home are strained… good, it will be a perfect time for the invasion." Aldritch said, piggybacking off her.

"Yes, master…"

She went on to give other updates, and before their walk came to a stop, they had finished their discussion.

"I see, everything's going well then. If you need anything, you can find me in my room, or anywhere else." Aldritch said.

His plan was to return to his room for the time being to check and experiment with his new skills. Their names sounded, interesting, and from the descriptions, they held a lot of potential… 'also, I might have to learn hand to hand combat, it feels rather natural.' He thought to himself.

Thinking of how he would be able to produce claws and harden his body, if possible, Aldritch already saw a lot of uses.

On the way back room, Ingrid came to his mind. She had been acting rather strangely as of late. Even though her loyalty was still the same, high, he wanted to talk with her, just in case. If it wasn't something relating to betrayal or similar, perhaps he could find a way to work things out with her, as it felt quite uncomfortable having to deal with her like that.

On reaching her room, Aldritch found a maid stationed outside. Apart from when he was a guest, there weren't maids stationed at every room like that, especially not at night.

"Is Ingrid in her room?" Aldritch enquired as he walked closer.

The maid standing at the door didn't answer is question neither did she move, or more accurately, she couldn't answer his question or move…

'I thought I had reduced the oppressive aura.' Aldritch thought to himself. This was something he had learnt after training with Lodestar and Khal, pretty much everyone from the other world was able to do the same. They could exude a threatening aura or even their bloodlust at will, or curtail such an aura.

After his evolution, Aldritch found that he exuded such an aura that those weaker than he was felt, that included vampires of lower ranks mostly and those lower in strength than he was. At this point, he had concluded that it was because the lady before him was just a normal person and a lower lifeform… that was why even though he had restrained himself, it still oppressed her.

Aldritch noticed her legs trembling quite a bit, so he didn't question her further and just entered Ingrid's room that happened to be open as it wasn't locked.

"Leave, you may rest for the day." He said as he walked past her.

Once Aldritch entered the room and shut the door, the maid outside collapsed on the ground, falling to her ass with sweat beading down her face and body in other parts. Even though her breath wasn't labored, it was shaky. After a while, she was calm enough to drag herself away.

…

-A Few Moments Ago-

After returning to her room and asking the maid to wait outside as she planned to not take too much of her time, Ingrid proceeded to take off her clothes, stripping everything until there was nothing left covering her body. After grabbing a towel, she made her way into her bathroom naked with the towel held against her chest.

A bath had already been drawn for her, so once she was inside she hung her towel aside and proceeded to the bucket of water that was to the left side before reaching the bathtub.

Taking a seat on the small bench, Ingrid fetched some water and poured it on her head, allowing it to drift all the way down as she used her hand comb back her hair slowly. The water was hot at just the perfect temperature too, just as she requested, so the feeling was soothing.

While in such a relaxed mood, her thoughts drifted to what she was thinking earlier, pretty much what had been reoccurring in her mind as of late.

Her eyes held a dull gleam as her thoughts continued, 'hah… I don't know anymore, I guess I just have to accept the fact that I feel something for Lord Aldritch… but…' she paused for a moment as a contemplating thought went past her head.

Even now, maybe it was because of the hot water, but the soothing feeling in her body was starting to develop elsewhere. In the position she was seated, it was almost like a squat if the small bench wasn't there to support her.

As her thoughts travelled, she began thinking of more graphic scenes as different lewd thoughts formed in her mind, her hand sliding down towards a particular area.
