I Just want a Peaceful life

It turned out Pureblood Vampires still couldn't completely escape all their common weaknesses, such as their thirst for blood. They also need to intake high-quality blood occasionally to sustain themself.

It is entirely different from Darren, who looks like he has no vampire weaknesses. Unfortunately, Lenora is not very bloodthirsty and will bite other people like a wild beast. Otherwise, her head will fall without her knowing it.

Still, Angus feels like seeing a wild hungry beast when Lenora drinks a blood bottle. He could momentarily notice her timid and shy temperament change into a bloodthirsty beast.

'Is this what Master Darren talked about before? Bloodthirst Ancient Power.' thought Angus while observing Lenora in the distance.

Angus sometimes knows to preserve the legacy and 'knowledge', people of the past spread Ancient Power to many people at the same time, such as the Vampire race. In fact, he managed to get a lot of information about Ancient Power in these few days.

While waiting for the Duchess to finish their business, Angus and Jayna keep their usual daily routine. Except for Anna and Mira, who like to wander around, they spend most of their time inside the training ground.

Still, the training ground is too big just for them and Lily happens to need a place to practice her new body. During this moment, Angus learns from Benjamin that Lily is his and Lily Alcataria's daughter.

Although surprising, Angus already knows Lily's existence is extraordinary after comparing it with the other Homunculus. Compared to the H Squad, Lily is much more alive and emotional.

Furthermore, he is surprised that Benjamin knows his obsession with Lily Alcataria is because of her uncontrolled Ancient Power. In fact, Lily Alcataria was going to a secluded place to learn to control her power.

Unfortunately, she meets with Benjamin on the way and gets kidnapped. Still, an old scientist like Benjamin knows many things about this particular subject and decides to share them with Angus.

"Master Benjamin, are you sure to give me all this knowledge?" asked Angus while reading a big book on his lap.

"Of course. I need to thank you for your help for Lily when she is in trouble. Besides, I need all the brain to learn about Lily's Ancient Power. Lily not only inherited our aura or presence but also Lily Alcataria's Ancient Power." said Benjamin.

"The last thing I want to happen to her is her Ancient Power going out of control like her mother. Unfortunately, I only know its effect. I don't even know what it is called or how to control it." added Benjamin.

"Certainly, that is quite a bit troublesome. Are you sure it is not [Lust] Ancient Power?" asked Angus.

"I doubt it. If it is [Lust], those kingdoms will be destroyed long ago and Lily Alcataria will be raped numerous times by everyone. I am unsure why, but only me that is deeply obsessed with her. Perhaps it is Fate." said Benjamin.

"Moreover, It will be good if it is [Lust] since that Ancient Power already has an owner." said Benjamin.

"Hmm?!" asked Angus in confusion.

"Have you heard of the Mistress of Menaki, Queen of Menaki, one of the Underworld Emperors?" asked Benjamin.

"Mistress of Menaki? Did you mean Ivis Latina? Wait a second… If she has [Lust]... No wonder she is rumored to have controlled a full-fledged seventh-grade." said Angus after realizing something.

"You are quite informed. Not many know about her 'servant' and how she can control them? Still, most old ones know she is the true holder of [Lust]. During her power manifestation, many kingdoms were erased through history under her hands."

"Perhaps, only those lazy elves remember her past." said Benjamin.

"Weird. You speak like she is ancient. I know seventh grade has a practically long lifespan. But, I don't think it is that old to be forgotten by everyone." said Angus.

"You are right. However, I can't give you further information. It is still too early for you. Unless you have a body like mine. It is too dangerous for you to know more." replied Benjamin.

"It's okay. So, what makes you think it is good for Lily if her power is actually [Lust]?" asked Angus.

"There is only one true holder for each Ancient Power. For example, you and Master Gilford inherited [Analyze]. However, the only one who could fully use or even develop it further is only one of you." explained Benjamin.

"Once one of you becomes the true holder of [Analyze], the other's Ancient Power will weaken drastically to the point it will not give any side effect. Unless the true holder is dead, the others will stay like this."

"Since [Lust] already has the true holder, the other people who inherited [Lust] will only get the lesser version of it without any side effects." Added Benjamin.

"I see. So, the other people are like a backup plan in case the true holder dies before being able to pass down the Ancient Power. Since most of the Ancient Power is very powerful, I doubt the true holder wants to pass it down or spread it around casually." said Angus.

"Right. This is also to prevent the true holder from getting killed by the other holder. Having weakened Ancient Power will drastically lower someone's combat prowess." said Benjamin.

"Make sense. In that case, we must prepare before Lily's Ancient Power gets stronger and affects everyone. Judging by your description and story, it is quite disruptive Ancient Power." said Angus.

While Angus and Benjamin talk about Ancient Power, four girls are battling and having a spar. At first, the girls have a four-way fight, but it changes after Lily beats every one of them in less than a minute.

In the end, Jayna, Brigida, and Lenora join in fighting against the silver-haired Homunculus. Despite facing three powerful combatants simultaneously, Lily can still fend off everyone easily while inspecting her new body change.

"Haa… Haaa… This is ridiculous. I feel like fighting Angus but with the speed of Aunt Extalia." said Jayna with a rough breath after the battle.

"Urgh… Her mind is too powerful and complex for my artifact to control." said Brigida.

"Ummm… I am sorry. I am useless." said Lenora timidly.

"Lenora, don't belittle yourself. Although you are inexperienced in combat, your blood art and vampire ability are very powerful. I doubt ordinary fifth grade will go down in a few seconds against you." said Brigida.

"B-But…" replied Lenora weakly.

"Enough but!! Be confident in yourself. You are the noble Pureblood Vampire. You should stand straight and fearless." retorted Jayna.

Then, Jayna starts lecturing Lenora about her royalty etiquette. She knows Pureblood Vampire has the same status as the Royalty family in the Heart Kingdom.

Jayna may not truly care about status and nobility. Still, she didn't like seeing someone from the high noble line degrade like Lenora. At least, Jayna wants Lenora to have confidence in herself.

"Well, I guess this also could be counted as broadening her experience." muttered Angus while looking at three exhausted girls.

Although Angus promised to give Lenora some worldly experience, it didn't mean he would teach her personally. Until now, only Jayna and Anna are the only people that get personally taught by Angus.

The prior one is because she manages to convince Angus with her constant dedication, while the latter is too talented and 'mischievous' to be left alone. Even Brigida only gets verbal instruction just for her body treatment without real training from Angus.

As a martial expert, he knows the danger of his skills and way of fighting. He prefers to die with it rather than spread it around casually.

-n0ve1、com In contrast to the three girls' situation, Lily still stands leisurely and plays with her dagger. Although it is called playing, the other three girls barely see the daggers and Lily's hand movement.

While Angus and the others are busy practicing, the Nergal kingdom becomes chaotic. After the brutal loss in the previous battle, King Andvari immediately returned to Nergal's Capital City and practically left the border on their own.

This movement shows that King Andvari already gives up on fighting Heart Kingdom further. Unless the Heart decides to take the capital city, King Andvari will not move.

Knowing this, the Heart kingdom decided to take the opportunity and send a group of negotiators for the war reparations. However, others tried to use this opportunity. One of them is the mysterious black-veiled woman hired by Nergal during the battle.

"Are you sure about this?" asked a person with a blurry mist.

"Yes. We should take this opportunity to penetrate all the land near this border." said the veiled woman.

"How about our mission?" asked the person.

"Forget about it. There is no way we could retrieve 'that'. Besides, it seems Benjamin is somehow capable of creating another power source besides 'that' for those Homunculus." replied the veiled woman coldly.

'There is no way they could create five Philosopher's stones without causing a lot of disturbance. This is a failed mission from the start.' thought the veiled woman inwardly.

"B-But…" replied the misty person reluctantly.

"There is also Master of Hidden in the Dark. Even our lord will run away at first sight of her, much less us."  said the veiled woman bluntly.

"Blasphemy!! You better watch your mouth..." rebuked the misty person.

"Or what? Listen here, piece of shit. I am the saint, not you. So, you better listen to me or fuck off!" said the veiled woman coldly.
