Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 320 The Attacker's ldentity

Rudy raised his brow and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The person who attacked Rudy was none other than Niti.

"If this was a joke, then it's understandable, but it didn't seem like it. I can sense the blood thirst coming from you. So what's this all about? Why did you attack me?" Rudy asked in a solemn voice.

'Can she not see me in the dark and think I am an intruder?' Rudy wondered.

"I don't need to answer you!" She threw a few magic spells on Rudy, and after realizing they had no effect on him, she dashed at him with a dagger in her hand and stabbed Rudy in the chest.

However, the dagger bent and broke instead of piercing Rudy's body.

"What?!" she exclaimed and used her bare fist to attack Rudy.

"Calm your tits!" Rudy grabbed her both hands and asked, "What's going on?!"

"You will have to get through me first before—"

Before she could finish what she was saying, Rudy shut her up with a kiss on her lips. He thought Niti hadn't seen him and didn't recognize him by his voice, so he decided to kiss her instead to calm her down and handle the situation.

"Hope this kiss helped you come back to your senses," he said calmly. "That was our first kiss, by the way."

"Whoever you are, I won't let you harm Princess Rias! Even if you defile my body—"

"Wait a minute… why are you acting as though you don't know… wait…" Rudy let go of her and asked, "Are you… Vriti, Niti's daughter?"

"Yes, I am! Who are you?!" she snarled.

"Oh… okay…" Rudy inspected Vriti's body from head to toe and asked, "I don't understand. Is it common for a daughter to look exactly like a mother? And since you are vampires, you look the same age."

Vriti was the exact copy of Niti except for a few different body features and lesser growth than Niti. Niti seemed like a mature and milf version of Vriti.

"Uhh… surely, you know who I am, right? You must have seen me a couple of times now."

"No! It's my first time seeing you. How did you even appear in this chamber out of thin air?!" she asked with a baffled expression on her face.

"Well then, allow me to introduce myself." Rudy backed a few steps and spreads his hands as he introduced himself:

"My name is Rudy, and I am Rias' Lover. You might not have seen me before as you are claiming, but you surely would have heard about me."

"I… have…"

"And you know, it's not nice to attack someone like this. Not going to lie, the blood thirst coming from you was… something else. And… I just kissed you…"

Rudy was at a loss for words. He knew he was in the wrong, but that wouldn't have happened if everything was settled via talk instead of jumping straight to the action. It could have also been easily avoided if Vriti didn't look like Niti, which, by the way, was neither of their's fault.

'I knew Vriti was Rias' personal maid, but I didn't expect her to be around at this hour. It's past midnight. Even though she is supposed to stay with Rias, she still needs to go to eat and sleep.

I didn't see any food or an extra bed, or even a couch where she could possibly rest. And most importantly, who would think that a daughter would look like a mother to the extent that they would seem like twins.

Seriously, vampires' beauty is truly the scariest thing about vampires.'

"I don't care what you did to me; I was only doing my job to protect Princess Rias. And I am not going to apologize for my actions. It was your fault. You can't just come inside without permission," she shrugged.

'Well, I came inside your mother, and she had no complaints…' Rudy uttered inwardly.

"Did you hear me? You can't enter this cave chamber!"contemporary romance

'I entered your mother's cave from where you were born…' Rudy facepalmed himself and muttered, "What am I even doing? Am I high (drunk) on blood moon fruits?"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. Can you leave me alone with Rias?"

"I cannot do that. If you are here to check up on Princess Rias, do it and leave. No one is allowed to stay here for more than five minutes," she stated monotonously and added, "Other than the Vampire Monarch and Princess Jane."

"Well, add my name to the list." Rudy shrugged his shoulders and uttered, "And besides, I don't need anybody's permission to be here."

"That's enough! If you don't leave this place in the next ten seconds, I will call the guards and report this to the Vampire Monarch! He will punish you for breaking—"

Rudy pressed and stuffed a blood moon fruit against Vriti's mouth and said, "Just calm down, girl. Enjoy this fruit and take a rest. Rias is in safe hands."

Vriti took a bite of the fruit, and her glare softened as she started chewing.

"Did you steal them?" she asked with a judging look on her face.

"Sheesh, you are so unfriendly, do you know that? I know Niti, and she seemed more relative to Rias than Jane, and you seem more comparable to Jane than Rias.

I can't imagine Rias being so haughty and unfriendly like Jane or you and vice versa. That suits their personality, but there is a limit and place to it. And right now… is not the best time.

I am not the best person you should act unfriendly with."

Vriti squinted her eyes while taking small bites from the blood moon trees and said with a judging look on her face: "You don't sound so friendly either."

"..." Rudy couldn't help but stare at her with an annoyed look on his face.

"I will take my leave."

"Should have done that a lot sooner when I first asked."

Rudy let out a weary sigh and turned around, facing his back to Vriti.

"I was about to go to eat anyway," she commented.
