Ero Meter

"Why are you getting so worked up?" Jack looked at Vieva with a worried expression on his face. He didn't know why Vieva was reacting so dramatically.

Vieva listened to his words and calmed down, she realized that she was really reacting extra. However, the news that Jack has told her is not small.

She looked at him and took in a deep breath. "Do you know the lore about the Moonlight Queen?" She asked with her brows raised.

Jack furrowed his brows at her words. He didn't know what Vieva was talking about. "I don't know anything." He said as he looked at her seriously.

Vieva slowly moved around Jack's body, however, she didn't get too close. "Over the last hundreds of years, her worshipers worked so hard to wake her up, they prayed every day and even committed some atrocious acts in their path."

"They knew that the things they were doing were wrong, but they still did them, why? Because they saw their light in her, in the Queen of Death."

"And they even did it once, they managed to wake her up about two hundred years ago," Vieva said with a bit of enthusiasm in her voice, however, she was not too excited.

And then, she just sighed. "But the Queen that woke up the last time was already at defect. They managed to wake her up but she couldn't even hold the Moonlight sword in her hand."

"And that was not the only thing that made her a defective queen," Vieva said and sat on Jack's front chair. "Not only did she not bear the moonlight sword she also couldn't control any other weapons. And without the ability to control any weapons, she would have died or someone might have taken her captive."

"So she took her own life." A sympathetic expression appeared on Vieva's face. "However now there was a new Queen of Death, and from what you said she killed a dragon? With what?" She asked while gulping her saliva, she was slightly nervous.

Jack looked at her and sighed. "She used a sword to kill that dragon."

Vieva listened to his words and took a deep breath.

"She is alive again!"

"She can even use weapons and swords!"

"And she has already begun killing people!"

She looked at Jack and carefully moving her hand she placed it on his leg. "You have to be careful of her." She murmured.

Jack on the other hand looked at the dead space, thinking about something.

"I think you should rest," Vieva asked and moving forward she sat down beside him. "Every day you meet with her and even sleep with her. She could kill you anytime her mood gets off."

"She is a cold-blooded murderer."

"Stop!" Jack looked at Vieva with an annoyed expression on his face, he couldn't hear anything wrong with Nicole anymore.

Although he knew that she had turned into a cold-blooded murderer, however, she still loved him and he loved her too she had even promised him that she would never murder anyone for no reason.

And Jack was sure that she would never break her promise.

Vieva listened to him and realised that she what she was doing was wrong, she could tell that Jack loved Nicole and could do anything for her.

And that was the reason why he was getting so angry when she called her a cold-blooded murderer.

She wished that Jack loved her just as much as he does Nicole.

Vieva realised that she had been under too much pressure during these days, which had caused her emotions to run wild.

She coughed lightly, removing all the thoughts from her mind.

"Sure, no problem. I will not mention her again."

"But, I love you and all I want is for you to be safe. I hope you are making the right decision here trusting the Moonlight Queen."

Jack stayed silent at her words. He really couldn't explain this issue, he couldn't tell her that he was sure that Nicole would not betray him because of his Ero Meter.

Hence, he carefully thought for an answer, he wanted to make her believe that he was safe with Nicole. He didn't want Vieva to follow him all day just because she was scared that Nicole might do something to him.

He thought for a moment and spoke again. "I believe in Nicole, I know that she would never harm me or anyone. She will not be like the Lore Queen." He said. "And if you need help from her then I can ask for you." He said again.

Vieva listened to him and was surprised at the last sentence. "You can ask her to help me?" She asked with her brows raised. She was not sure that the Queen of Death would listen to anyone.

However, seeing the confident expression on Jack's face she was now slightly convinced.

'Maybe she really is in love with him.' Her gaze moved over his face. 'He has a way of making people fall in love with him effortlessly.' she gulped her saliva and a warm smile formed on her face.

"Thanks, Jack, but I don't think she can help in this matter, as she too is formed from darkness and would not be able to enter the portal just like me. Only a human can do so." Vieva said.

Jack took in a deep breath at her words, forming her expression he could tell that anything there was going on in that portal was pretty dangerous.

Vieva on the other hand looked down and started contemplating about the situation, and then her eyes widened in surprise and she looked at Jack again.

He saw her face and a frown appeared on his face. "What happened? Why are you surprised?" He asked.

"I think I know what those dragons are trying to do." She murmured and a knowing expression appeared on her face. It was as if a light bulb had gone on in her brain.

"What?" Jack was also curious now. Although he had no intention of going into that portal he still wanted to know the information about it.

Vieva gulped her saliva and turned silent for a bit and only after a moment did she speak. "I don't think it's hundred per cent true, but I think those dragons are planning something against the Queen." She murmured with doubt filled voice.

She was not sure herself, and it was just her speculation, however, her gut feeling was pretty strong with this one. 'My gut feeling has never been wrong.' She thought.

"You mean Nicole? Are they planning to take revenge for their dead brother?" Jack asked if he knew that Nicole had killed one of the dragons to protect him. 'Those dragons must want to take revenge for their fallen brother.'

Vieva took in a breath and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know for sure, that could be the case, but I think it is something bigger than that." She said.

"Something bigger?" Jack narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"

"I have known dragons for a long time, all of them are ruthless and cold, I don't think they would waste their time on petty revenge. I am sure they must have already replaced that dead dragon with another one." She explained.

"Then why do you think they want to scheme against Nicole?"

"Because she is the Queen of Darkness and she can threaten their existence in this world." Vieva leaned slightly forward.

"The dimension these dragons live in is a cold and desolate place and they want to take over this world." Vieva had known about the dragons and their ways for a long time and it was not only her, even her ancestors knew about these dragons and they had been protecting the people of Earth from them.

"My ancestors made a deal with the dragons. We will let them enter this world, however, they are forbidden to kill anyone in this world." Vieva explained, "However now I think that these dragons don't want to keep following the deal, as for the past few weeks they have killed more than people." She said and clenched her fist.

Anger was clearly visible on her face, the dragons had broken their deal with her ancestors and now she was angry at that fact. 'It's all because I can't defeat the number one and number two.' She thing and sighed.

'I have to get more powerful to keep this world safe, I have to be powerful enough to defeat the number one and number two dragons.' She thought and a determined expression appeared on her face.

Jack at her and a complicated expression appeared on his face. "What does all of this have to do with Nicole?" Jack asked although he could guess now, however, he still wanted to make things clear.

"Well, Nicole is powerful and she might hold the power to kill all of the dragons alone and they are scared of that fact. She has already killed one of them and now they must want to kill her so she doesn't kill them instead." Vieva said and took in a deep breath.
