Not long after, Krul let go of Luke.
Luke stood stunned on the spot, still trying to figure out the situation.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Krul smiled and returned to her room, regardless of Luke's reaction.
Alucard scratched Luke's nose with its tail.
"Achoo!"
Luke sneezed, came back to his senses, and grabbed Alucard's tail.
"What are you doing?"
Alucard didn't panic; it broke free from Luke's clutches, then tapped him with its tail, pointed toward Krul's room, and finally made a heart shape.
Although Alucard was a one-eyed bat, Luke could see a knowing "auntie smile" on its face at this moment.
Luke felt embarrassed by Alucard's gestures; though he was secretly delighted, he was still putting up a front on the surface.
"Ahem, kids shouldn't meddle in adults' business."
Alucard rolled its eyes.
Tch, hypocrite, you haven't even lived a fraction as long as I have!
Luke held asuramaru and the Magic Sword in each hand. Instead of entering his consciousness space, he communicated directly with asuramaru.
"Hey, Little Shushu, how was your chat?"
"Get lost!"
Luke frowned. Wasn't it just calling you Little Shushu? Why so impatient? Is this the attitude after I helped you see your sister? I haven't even settled the score for you getting insta-killed while subbing for me yet!
But no matter how Luke asked, asuramaru ignored him.
"Do you believe I'll have you resurrected into a female body?"
asuramaru still didn't respond, but the blade suddenly erupted with a powerful and somewhat aggressive Demonic Aura. Luke's palm felt like it was being burned, and he quickly let go.
The Magic Sword activated, absorbing the Demonic Aura, and Luke's palm was restored to its original state.
Luke looked displeased, but he couldn't do anything about asuramaru. He was Krul's brother, so what could he do? He just had to indulge him!
Luke wrapped asuramaru in cloth and placed it beside the throne.
Luke knocked on Krul's door.
Krul opened the door with a faint smile on her face, looking much better than her usual expressionless self.
"What is it?"
Luke scratched his head, opened his mouth several times, and finally squeezed out a sentence.
"Have you eaten?"
Krul:?
Luke felt awkward. He originally wanted to ask about the promise, but he felt it might seem like moral kidnapping, so it was hard to bring up.
"That... um... I..."
Krul saw through Luke's thoughts. She looked at the fidgety Luke and said with a smile.
"So you actually have times when you're shy?"
Luke didn't know how to answer and just stood there like a fool.
After all, in his past life, he hadn't even held a girl's hand; he was a complete novice in romance.
Although he expressed his liking for Krul from time to time, it was mostly covered up as a joke. When it was time to be decisive, he hesitated.
Luke muttered to himself.
What do I do? What do I do? So nervous! I miss you, evil cycle!
Krul asked straightforwardly.
"Luke, do you like me a lot?"
Luke nodded.
His cheeks and ears turned bright red, and his heart rate accelerated. Luke felt that even facing the Progenitor wouldn't be as stressful as this.
Krul continued.
"What do you like about me? My power?"
Luke shook his head and answered honestly.
"What I like is Krul Tepes, not the Vampire Queen."
The corners of Krul's mouth curled up; she seemed quite satisfied with this answer. Unfortunately, Luke was busy counting how many buttons were on his clothes and didn't notice.
"Your confession last time wasn't as... reserved as today."
Krul teased, while also feeling a bit curious.
Luke's face turned even redder.
"What a pity..."
Krul said, then paused for a moment. Luke's heart leaped into his throat.
Is she going to reject me?
"There's no helping it for one person to date; let's try it together, the two of us."
Luke doubted his ears. He looked up at Krul, who was watching him with a mischievous grin.
"That's how it's said, right? Were you scared?"
Luke finally realized—Krul had agreed! This was the response for agreeing to date from the plot of Hello World that Luke had told Krul before!
Overwhelmed by happiness, Luke hugged Krul and gave her a peck on the cheek.
"You... you bastard, let go of me!"
Krul was startled by Luke. Her romantic experience was also zero; she had just agreed to be together and was immediately kissed before she could even process the change in status.
Luke also realized he was a bit too excited and let go of Krul.
Both stood there with red faces, at a loss, like they were being punished by standing still.
Luke suddenly said.
"I'm going to check on that Imperial Demon Army guy we caught."
Krul nodded, calming her emotions.
"Mhm, I'm going to sleep. Don't come and bother me."
Then Krul went back to her room and closed the door. Luke left Krul's palace humming a song.
But what Luke didn't know was that as soon as he left, two figures dropped from the ceiling.
"Hey, Lacus, it seems like we heard something incredible."
René looked in the direction Luke had left, then at the entrance of Krul's palace.
Lacus shook his head.
"Which Vampire doesn't know the Cute King likes the Queen? The news of the Cute King forcibly kissing Lady Krul a while back was much more shocking than today."
René warned.
"Don't be a big mouth. If those two lords find out, you're dead."
Lacus didn't care; the urge to share gossip was irrepressible.
"The Cute King won't beat me to death, and Lady Krul will definitely be interested in this news! She specifically told me to keep an eye on the progress between the Cute King and Lady Krul before; the blood at Lady Krul's place is all top-quality."
Lacus felt that risking a beating for a sip of that blood was worth it.
Besides, he really thought this was a small matter. Which Vampire would care much about this? With Lady Krul's temperament, the Cute King didn't even have any rivals.
René slapped his forehead and sighed.
"Don't drag me down when you mess up. I don't want to be caught up in the fallout."
Lacus said he knew what he was doing. Although René had a bad feeling, there was nothing he could do.
Every time Luke dealt with Lacus, he was used to dealing with him as well, even if he hadn't done anything, as if in Luke's eyes, the two of them were tied together... Hiiragi Shinya struggled to sit up on the ground, his hands and feet tied, surrounded by darkness.
Fortunately, these Vampires didn't strike too hard. Hiiragi Shinya wasn't badly injured, and his Cursed Power was still usable.
"byakkomaru!"
A rifle appeared in his hand. Hiiragi Shinya used the bayonet on the gun to cut the rope and checked the door; it was locked from the outside.
Hiiragi Shinya pressed his ear against the door, trying to hear if there was any movement outside, but as luck would have it, the door opened directly.
Hiiragi Shinya was startled and hurriedly backed away.
Luke walked in from outside.
"Yo, looks like you're in good spirits. My mood is also alright. Want to sit down and chat for a bit?"
Hiiragi Shinya held byakkomaru in his hand, on guard against a sudden attack from Luke.
Luke smiled.
"If I really wanted to finish you off, I wouldn't have waited until now. Put your weapon away."
Hiiragi Shinya didn't dare to act rashly.
Luke stopped smiling and sighed.
"Are my words hard to understand?"
Hiiragi Shinya's pupils contracted. Luke vanished from the spot—he was too fast to see!
"Byak..."
Bang!
byakkomaru was kicked away by Luke.
Luke grabbed Hiiragi Shinya by the throat and said in a calm tone.
"Does chatting like this feel more comfortable?"
