Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 192 Rias and Jane

Chapter 192 Rias and Jane

CLAP! CLAP!

Virgil clapped his hands and said, "Alright, everyone. The battle has ended. All of you can go back to the palace and enjoy yourselves. Don't forget. It is the night of new year's eve. You must celebrate it with happiness and forget everything that happened a year before."

All the vampires spread their wings and flew to the palace. Now, only Rudy, Virgil, Victus, and Jane remained.

Virgil turned to Victus and said, "You may go too, Victus."

"My king, I am ashamed that I couldn't bring you victory. Please, forgive my—"

"Worry not, Victus. Even if someone else had fought in your stead, they would have lost too."

"But my King…"

"I said you can go." After a brief pause, he added, "And you broke the rule, so you will be punished."

"Yes…" Victus is also a few away after glaring at Rudy.

"Rudy… no, Sir Rudy, shall I call you?" Virgil asked with a grin on his face.

"Rudy is fine…"

"Rudy it is, then." Virgil nodded. "Shall we go now?"

"One second…" Rudy jumped and landed beside Jane, who was having a hard time standing still.

Rudy carried her in his arms like a princess and flew in the air.

"What are you…!" Jane was surprised, but she stopped speaking midway and averted her face to the side to hide her embarra.s.sment.

Virgil followed Rudy to the valley, and they entered the chamber.

"....!" After entering the chamber, Rudy was surprised to see that the magical shackles had shattered.

'Why am I even surprised? I should have expected something like this…' Virgil uttered inwardly.

Virgil walked to the bed, while Rudy stood near the bed with Jane still in his arms.

After muttering and chanting something, Virgil turned to Rudy and said, "I have removed all the spells from her."

"...." Rudy stared at Rias for a few seconds and then turned to Virgil to ask, "Why is she not waking up?"

"Her slumber was six months long, and only three months had pa.s.sed. She will wake up after three months," Virgil a.s.serted in a calm voice.

"But you said you removed the spells!"

"I did, but this is the after effect of the spell." After a brief pause, he said, "Think of it as an arrow fired from the bow. Once it is fired, it can never return to the bow again. It will hit something and maybe break."

Rudy shook his head and said, "Your examples are so stupid…"

"The spells I had cast on Rias were to subdue her powers and strength, allowing her to sleep in a long slumber. That was her punishment for loving a human. And believe me, this was the least painful punishment in this world," Virgil stated.

Rudy looked at Jane, and she nodded in response.

"I thought you said loving a human is the biggest crime in this world. So why did you give Rias the least painful punishment?" Rudy asked curiously. "Of course, I am just asking this to know the reason."

"No matter what I say, it is hard to punish my own blood…" Virgil said with a distant smile on his face. "It pained me the most to punish Rias."

"Uhhh… what? I was curious at first, but now I am confused."

"I am Rias and Jane's grandfather," Virgil announced.

"Oh…" Rudy sighed in realization. "And I thought red hair was common…"

"No." Virgil shook his head and said, "Only royals have red hair."

"I see. So… Rias and Jane are the… princesses? Well, obviously…"

'Rias was a princess?! A vampire princess?! Rudy exclaimed inwardly.

"Wait… so does that mean…" Rudy turned to Virgil and asked, "Please don't tell me Victus was Rias' father."

"He is not."

PHEW!

"Wait… so he is Rias and Jane's brother?" Rudy asked with a curious yet calm look on his face,

"No."

SIGH!

Rudy sighed in relief.

"But he is my son."

"Huh?"

Virgil turned to Rudy and said, "I have three beautiful wives."

"Heh!" Rudy scoffed.

"What's funny about that?" Virgil asked with a confused look on his face.

"It's just hard to imagine a 2000-year-old vampire to have only three wives."

"Oh! I have had many past lovers and all, but I got married to my first wife, a n.o.ble vampire, 1000 years ago. She gave birth to Victus. And… she died 800 years ago in the war…" he uttered with a dejected look on his face.

"I married my second wife 500 years ago, and she was a n.o.ble dragon. We didn't have any children, so she left me to rule over the dragon world," he stated.

"Your wife… left you because you didn't have any children…?" Rudy asked in disbelief.

"Uhh.. well, … we never had… you know… we never mated. The marriage was a sign of the peace pact between the vampire world and the dragon world."

"Oh, that makes sense."

"And I married my third wife 60 years ago, and she… was a human…"

"So you broke the rule and didn't get punished because you are the king?" Rudy asked with a judging look on his face.

"No. I became the king 50 years ago. Back then, I was a prince."

"What happened to her then?"

"I would rather not talk about it."

"Understandable. Oh, so she is Jane and Rudy's mother? Wait, no. That would make them your daughters, not granddaughters." Rudy nodded a couple of times and uttered, "So you had a son with your human wife, and he married a vampire and—"

"No. Quite the opposite. My wife gave birth to a beautiful and healthy girl. And she later married a human. She still lives in the human world, but I haven't met her for over 40 years, nor have Rias and Jane."

"Is that why Rias could easily walk under the sun and interact with the stuff normal vampires wouldn't?"

Virgil nodded and said, "She gave birth to the twins, Rias and Jane. But she was still half-vampire, so her kids were too."

Jane nudged Rudy with her head and said, "Rias is 90% human and 10% vampire, while I am 90% vampire and 10% human."

Rudy glanced at Rias and uttered in a low voice: "I think I know a way to wake Rias up."
