妻子的谎言

Sato stood in the passageway, right in front of the door with a sigh slipping out of his mouth.

'It's a good thing the maid called me out when she did, if not, I don't know how I would have responded to that question, why is she so fixated on marrying me anyway?'.

Sato thought to himself before knocking on the door in front of him.

"Come in." A voice resounded from inside the room.

"Excuse me." Sato voiced as he opened the door and came into the room before shutting the door behind him.

Looking inside, he could see Vlad seated upright on the bed with a small white furry animal on his shoulder.

"Sato Inugami, good of you to show up," Vlad uttered, petting the furry on his shoulder as he smiled.

"I couldn't refuse the calling of a Duke," Sato replied, standing at the side of the bed as he observed Vlad.

His facial expression changed when he got a good look at the damage he caused to Vlad's eye.

Sato recalled every detail of how he pulled out the eye aggressively from Vlad's skull and that didn't help in the remorse he felt.

"Does it bother you?" Vlad unexpectedly asked.

"Hmm?" Sato was puzzled by the question.

"I may be blind but my senses are still as sharp as ever, I can tell you feel guilty for my current predicament." Vlad asserted.

Sato looked to the side, unable to respond to the statement Vlad made.

"Hahahah!" Vlad suddenly burst into laughter, "You have a weak heart Sato inugami, strengthen up, if not you won't be able to take my place as Duke".

"D-Duke? What do you mean by that?!" Sato starmmerd with his hands extended in front of him.

"Once you marry my daughter, you automatically take my place since I will be retiring… this old man needs his rest." Vlad expressed.

"But… What about your son? Isn't he supposed to… ohhh." Sato paused when he remembered Christian tried to kill Erza during the ambush.

Vlad placed the furry animal on the bed and smiled as he stared outside the window, "I heard about my son's doing, Erza told me about it." He said but with a calm look on his face.

The one thing Vlad was very well known for was his special proficiency to keep calm during troublesome events.

If everything had gone to plan, Vlad wanted his son, Christian to take his place, but after hearing what transpired between his two children, he knew he had to make another decision. One that would benefit all of Nervek and his own beloved daughter.

"You needeth worry about my son, all I want to know is if you are willing to be betrothed to my daughter." Vlad asked for the sole purpose of getting a direct answer from Sato.

Marriage? Just up until he got reincarnated, Sato had never been with anyone his whole life, and all of a sudden, he's about to get engaged to be daughter of the Duke.

Feeling a tad bit subjugated, Sato looked to the side as he struggled to come up with a fitting answer.

Deep down he knew getting engaged will further help in his next plan to successively survive the two remaining events yet to come.

With a deep breath, Sato gazed profoundly at Vlad before giving his answer, "If it's alright with you, I'll very much like to ask your daughter's hand in marriage".

"Excellent!" Vlad voiced out excitedly, he picked up the cute furry animal and pulled it close to his face, "Did you hear that, Yigies, of course, you did".

The sight of Vlad still putting out a warm aura despite everything that happened immediately placed a smile on Sato's face.

Bang!

The noise was first disregarded by Sato up until the point where it began to sound even louder.

"What was that?" Sato questioned.

"Ignore it, probably just a bug." Vlad responded instantly, while still playing with the small furry animal.

<<Yuri seems to be trapped inside the wall to your left>>

Sato sighed and strolled over to the left side of the room. He scanned the wall till he found a small hook nudged at the side.

He pulled it and the wall slid open with Yuri immediately falling out of it and slamming on the floor with her chest.

"Yuri what are you…"

"Hmmm! Hmmmm!" Yuri hummed aggressively with the cloth that was tied around her mouth.

Sato was surprised when he saw that every part of her body was restrained with small magic circles hovering above them.

Sato went to his knees and slowly began to unlace Yuri from her bondage, "Who did you offend this time Yuri?" He asked as he removed the clothes tied around Yuri's mouth.

"Rrhh, I'm going to kill that bitch, burn!" Yuri shouted, and all the clothes tied around her body instantly caught fire and burnt to ashes.

Once she was free, she hugged Sato tightly, carelessly pressing her boobs against his chest

"They didn't allow me to come near you… that bloodsucker! Even Divanchi teamed up with her." Yuri sobed.

Sato couldn't help but give out a nervous smile as he patted her head, "There there".

"Excuse my intervention, but the prisoners are out and in the throne room My lord." A male vampire dressed in a red military outfit voiced out from the entrance of the room.

"Ahh, it's that time already." Vlad uttered, placing the furry on the bed before standing up and heading towards the door.

"Vlad… I mean, Duke Vlad? I still need to speak to you about something, once you are free." Sato let out with Yuri still hugging him.

"I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to bond, but right now you have a reasonability to attend to." Vlad said before walking out of the room.

Sato was utterly confused by the statement, "Responsibility?" He repeated, "I wonder what he…".

"Oh Lord Sato~, you're so warm and soft~," Yuri sang as she pushed Sato to the ground with her hug still locked.

"Damn it Yuri… snap out of it!".

<<Pervert>>

"Shut up!!!".
