Vampire King's Harem

The Sect Master's experiment session takes hours for him but seems to last just minutes for her. After piercing and cutting his body so many times, the necromancer leaves almost no drop of blood inside him.

"Fascinating..." She thinks aloud as she looks at that black blood inside glass vials. She can feel the incredible power contained in Klaus's blood, but she has no idea how dangerous it would be to try to use that power.

He can't help but curl his lips as he looks at that sparkle in her eyes. [I dare you to drink it, fool woman.]

"Huh?" The Sect Master notices that Klaus wants to say something to her, but she certainly misunderstands his message. "Are you upset with me? It's okay; I wouldn't blame you..."

"Really?!?" Iria can't help but exclaim wryly from her cage. "I thought he should be grateful to you for torturing him for hours!!"

The Sect Master has lost count of how many times he has told Irina to shut up. She wouldn't let anyone keep talking to her that way, but every time she seems about to hurt the fairy, she feels a murderous aura coming from Klaus. So to avoid angering him further, she just ignored the foul-mouthed lady.

"Ah..." The Sect Master sighs as she caresses Klaus' face. "I hope you can understand my situation; I need to do this to learn more about you and how to help you. That's necessary for us to keep together; one day, you'll forgive me for this."

"Come onnnn!!!" Irina lets out a long complaint. "Cut this shit already, and give me something to eat!! You're going to kill me with all this bullshit or from starving!"

The fairy has pissed off the Sect Master more than anyone in years, but she's still a part of that; she's still a useful piece and can't be discarded.

"Okay." To Irina's surprise, the Sect Master finally gives Klaus a break and walks towards the door after returning him to the cage.

"Bring me meat!" The fairy shouts before the Sect Master exits the chamber. "I need some good protein!"

Silence reigns again in the vast chamber, so Irina sits in the corner of her cage and looks at Klaus with a sorry expression. "That bitch stole your blood... that sucks, you know! Damn necromancers!!"

He can feel the outrage in Irina's words, but he's more focused on her neck, that skin so soft, delicate, fragrant... how happy would he be if he could just stick his fangs in there and drink some of her perfect blood a little bit?

Despite not feeling any hostile intent from Klaus, Irina can see the hunger in his eyes, so she quickly tries to make a stern expression. "Don't look at me this way!! Fuck, I'm not giving you my blood just because that whore stole yours!!!"

Klaus doesn't understand why, but the more Irina tries to keep some distance from him, the more he wants to get closer to her. That strikes him as a different kind of hunt, one he may enjoy a lot as well.

And as a patient hunter, he observes every detail about the 'prey' before they can no longer escape the inevitable destiny of being... eaten?

—--------------------------------

As Irina blushes under Klaus's predatory gaze inside the chamber, The Sect Master walks through the corridors outside until she finds Elder Abner and his pupils.

"Sect Master." The old necromancer, Eli, and Zadok bow respectfully.

"I have some research to do in my office, so don't let anything disturb me; also, bring some food for our guests." The Sect Master can barely contain the urge to examine Klaus' blood.

By guests, everyone understands that she means Klaus and Irina, but Elder Abner still needs clarification. "Sect Master... forgive me, but what kind of food should I bring a fairy and... that person, you know."

Now that the Sect Master has to think about that, she is also confused. Everyone was expecting the ritual to summon an undead servant, which is usually sustained by magical energy and not food. But that's definitely not the case with Klaus.

"Take every kind of food we have, something will catch his eyes." She orders, and then a gleam passes through her eyes. "Meat! Get him the best meat you can find; I bet he'll like some rare steaks!"

"Sure, Sect Master." Elder Abner nods. "But what about the fairy??"

"Any trash will be good for her." The Sect Master laughs as she quickly goes to her office, taking Klaus's black blood.

She leaves behind three perplexed men. It's hard for them to think of any reason for a rivalry between the Sect Master and the fairy, but it's even harder to ignore those obvious signs.

"Ahem..." Abner calls out to his pupils. "You heard the orders; let's get the food in the kitchen."

"Really???" Zadok looks upset. "Are we going to cook for that damn freak??"

"Master..." Eli also seems to have something to say. "Can I make something special for the fairy? That poor girl doesn't deserve to eat any trash."

"..." Abner begins to think he made a mistake in choosing those apprentices. But now is not the time to regret it but to carry out the Sect Master's orders.

—------------------------

Back in the dark secret chamber, Irina gets frustrated trying to communicate with Klaus. She knows that her chances of getting out of this place alive are better with an ally, even if that ally has a peculiar desire to drink her blood.

After almost an hour of trying to make him understand her words, the sound of the door opening echoes inside the room again.

"The food is finally here!" Irina jumps with happiness when she sees the necromancers entering the chamber with trays full of assorted food.

Her eyes are immediately drawn to the large tray full of rare steaks. She even licks her lips, imagining the taste of that meat, but then someone gets in the way of her view.

"Who..." Irina almost starts cursing Eli, but then a chill runs through her body when she notices him smiling at her as he holds a large tray of fruits, vegetables, and greens.

[No, no, no, no, pleaseeeee...] She panics when she notices the necromancers putting all the trays with meat and good food in front of Klaus's cage and only Eli standing next to her with that vegan trash.

Eli thinks Irina's shocked look is due to her being happily surprised by his gift, so he smiles proudly at her. "I went against the Sect Master's orders to prepare it for you."

"Are you fucking kidding me???" Irina goes furious. "What the hell are you thinking, you retard!?!?!?!"

"???" The young necromancer is baffled. He thought that as a pure creature of nature, Irina would love that vegan feast, but she seems to have hated it more than anything.

Eli's expressions make Irina even madder. "Why don't you bang your head against the wall until you die?? Or better yet, let me bang your fucking head on the wall!!"

Irina has never been that angry before, but somehow, Klaus finds the situation very funny. The redder with anger she gets, the cuter she gets too.

"Look…" She tries to calm down and points to the rare steaks on Klaus' tray. "I just need some of that steaks, okay?"

"The meat is for him only." Elder Abner speaks in a calm tone. He would have brought meat to the fairy too, but Eli convinced him that she would like vegan food.

"Fuck you!!" Irina looks like a furious lion about to destroy the cage bars with her bare hands. "I'm going to die soon if you don't give me some of that meat!! So either you give it to me, or call your fucking master here!!"

Elder Abner just shakes his head as he walks away from the cages. "Yeah, you're going to die soon if you don't change that attitude..."

"Wait!!" Irina does not give up; she could wait for the necromancers to get out of the chamber and ask Klaus for the meat, but everything about him is so mysterious, and she fears he just won't give her any of the steaks.

But Abner doesn't seem to mind her request, while Eli still can't believe his vegan feast was not a good idea.

Zadok, on the other hand, seems to have had some kind of sinister idea, so he stands in front of Irina's cage before starting to pull his pants down. "Do you want meat?? Alright, I'll give you a big piece of meat..."

It is evident what the bold necromancer is about to do, but before Irina can severely injure him, he abruptly stops moving. That's weird because Zadok stops breathing as his eyes widen.

[It's that feeling again!!!] A thought pops into Zadok's mind as he feels a powerful, cold aura wash over him all at once, sending shivers down his very soul.

Powerful, dark, murderous... That's how he would describe the supernatural force that makes Zadok feel like the smallest and most fragile creature in the universe.
