I Shall Cuck Everyone

Currently, Jill and I are walking into a beautiful building in the part of the castle. This place looks the same as Jill's quarters, but it's a lot bigger. Walking closer to the entrance of the quarters, I see two bulky-looking guards guarding the it.

Seeing Jill and I arrive before them, the guards bow their heads respectfully to us. Although they are looking at me weirdly, as my face is quite alien to them.

"Don't worry, he's with me." Jill says, raising her hand.

The guards give a simple nod and allow us to enter. Taking a few steps forward, an amazing and beautiful scenery appears before my eyes. Right in front of me is a very large garden filled with different flowers and odd-looking trees.

However, a particular large tree catches my attention, making me stare at it in a mesmerized manner. The tree is very wide, spanning about 150 meters. (circumference.)

Seeing my gaze fixed on the tree, Jill walks closer to me and also starts staring at it.

"This is the blood-moon tree." Jill says.

"Huh, what is that?" I ask, looking surprised.

It's not my fault that I have no idea about this tree, most of the memories I've got are about skills and techniques. But for some reason, I can feel the energy radiating from this tree as if…

"It's a tree that has existed since the creation of the vampires. No one knows how it came to be, but it has always helped speed up a vampire's evolution process as long as the vampire hasn't hit his/her limit. Each of these fruits contain pure vampire aura essence. It would take talent and patience to absorb the essence, if not it could cause significant damage." Jill explains, pointing at the red-colored fruits on the tree.

"I see…" I mutter while staring at the fruits, making Jill give me a suspicious look.

"Jake…don't tell you're planning to use one of tho—"

"Excuse me, your highness…" A cute voice suddenly interrupts Jill, making her bite her lips in frustration before turning her head to look at the intruder.

Yes, perfect timing…

I can also see the intruder…well, should I call her my helper since she made things easier by making me evade this conversation?

She's a slim, tall, blonde-haired vampire with striking red eyes. Her looks are average and nothing very special. (At least to my standards.)

Furthermore, she's wearing a deep blue blazer with a white undershirt and black short skirt. She's a mature woman who should be over a hundred years old. Since vampires are a race that can maintain their youthfulness for thousands of years, I can't tell exactly how old this woman is. But judging from her scent, she's quite older than my mom.

"Zagrath…"

"Long time no see, second princess…" The blonde-haired woman says with a smile as my mom calls her name in a low voice. She's also looking at me, trying to figure out who I am.

"Sigh… it's been a while, Zagrath. This is my son, Jake. Jake, meet Zagrath, Zamira's maid." Jill introduces the strange woman to me.

"Nice to meet you, your royal highness." The woman says with a deep bow, giving me more respect than my mom.

Huh…

"It's also my pleasure to meet you, Zagrath." I reply and give her a soft handshake.

"Are you looking for the first princess?" Zagrath asks.

"Yes…"

"Well, the thing is she went out on an expedition to hunt down a demi-god ranked beast that was spotted near the vampire settlement. Recently, many vampires have been missing lately and it seems to be the work of the beast. So, the first princess went out in search of it to take it down." Zagrath explains.

"I see… But why can't she send some high-rank guards to intercept the beast?" Jill asks.

"Well, we did send a few high-rank officers to intercept the beast but they never returned. A few days later, a part of their bodies was found on a narrow road that leads to a cave. When the princess heard about the case, she got enraged and went after the beast on her own." Zagrath explains again.

"Sigh… knowing Zamira, who is a battle maniac, she would never let such an opportunity go to waste." Jill says with a sigh, while Zagrath also puts on a frustrated smile.

"She's killed quite a few demi-god rank beasts, so she should be fine." Jill says with confidence.

"I don't think that's the case right now. This beast in question is an incredibly intelligent humanoid beast with a very strong ability according to our Intel. It also tends to have a taste for stronger vampires. To top it all off, there are also rumors that there are actually two beasts, as different photographs have been captured and compared." Zagrath elaborates, unable to contain her anxiety and fear.

"That's quite troublesome, I'll go after her and assist her if she's in trouble. Send the map of the location to me." Jill says assuringly, putting her hand on Zagrath's shoulder to calm her.

"Okay, but before that would you like to come in and have a drink?" Zagrath asks respectfully.

"No, there's no need. I just drank some blood a while ago. Send someone to bring the map to my quarters." Jill orders, and Immediately, Zagrath starts hurrying towards a building that's ahead of us.

"Let's get going, Jake…" Jill says, holding my hand before we start walking back to our quarters.

"First of all, why does your elder sister have a maid while you have a butler?" I ask as we keep walking.

"Zamira hates men. That's why father assigned a combat maid to her instead." Jill replies.

"Furthermore, she's a battle maniac. I would say she's more like a muscle-brain who only talks with battle skills. If she sees me, she's going to ask for a spar right away and nag me about my fighting skills. That's one of the reasons why I don't like coming to the vampire planet. There was a time she fought against a demon-rank beast on a certain planet and got badly injured, she couldn't even put a scratch on it…" Jill starts complaining about her sister.

Hearing her words, a smile starts forming on my face. Maybe coming to the vampire world is worth it after all.

"Mom, can I go instead?" I ask with a smile, making Jill pause her movement and give me a soul-piercing stare.
