Harem Tournament of Champions

10 minutes ago,

Vanas had just stepped out of the maid's quarters and changed his appearance to his original form as he called on his knights to search for the advisor.

Bowing to his order, they nod and transform to go in search of the official.

Vanas sighs deeply as he walks along the path, keeping his senses alert. His instincts tell him something isn't quite right with the reason the advisor had suddenly searched for him in such an unpredictable place.

'How could he suddenly tell my true form?' He wonders aloud, looking into the ceiling above. There wasn't anyone else in the hallway beside the two guards he had posted near the entrance leading to his chamber to protect his beloved.

'I'm sorry beloved, I fell for my uncontrolled lust again.'

The more he thinks about the need to get the advisor, the more his zeal was to shield Siadra from ever finding out about his past misdeeds or the one had been caught in.

As he walks, he feels a hand grab his shoulder and he turns around, ready to attack on impulse.

His fists were suspended mid-air however as he took notice of Siadra standing behind him, wearing nothing except a nightie.

"Beloved?" Vasas asks quietly, feeling embarrassed at being hugged so sweetly after what had happened.

Gulp!

He swallowed hard, feeling himself getting an erection from her soft breasts pressing against his back. She smells wonderful, reminding him of how much he loved her scent during sex. Her hair tickles his neck as well, sending shivers down his spine.

Siandra giggled softly, kissing his cheek gently. 'You're blushing darling,' she whispers lovingly.

Her hands caress his shoulders lightly as he tries not to react to the touch.

"Not here, beloved," Vanas whispers huskily, trying desperately to keep control over his body's urges.

She nods silently then kisses his lips tenderly once more. Pulling away, she smiles brightly up at him.

Standing on her tiptoes, Siadra pecks his nose playfully making him laugh nervously.

'She seems to be in a good mood, unlike the last time she had sent me out.' He muses, smiling warmly towards his wife.

Taking hold of both sides of his face between hers, Siadra leans forwards and plants a kiss on his forehead. Then moving downwards, she places small gentle smooches all over his cheeks.

Whispering into his ear she seductively comments. "I didn't think we'd have guards stationed outside our chambers tonight," she purrs teasingly.

Vanas growls lowly, pulling her closer still. The feel of her bare skin touching his own sends waves of pleasure coursing throughout his entire body.

'No! You can't do that with her, not after what you did and that fool is still on the loose!' He thinks frantically, letting out a frustrated grunt.

Pulling away slightly, he looks into her beautiful green orbs before whispering.

"We'll talk later, beloved..."

*****

Hisha whistles as he paces about the room he had gotten as a guard, waiting patiently for him to get a confirmation on the news from the advisor.

[Do you think she would be able to get him in time?]

'I believe she can do it, after all, she was made with certain characteristics and abilities.'

[If you say so, host]

'Master, I have been able to get the runaway advisor located within this forest. Should I bring him to you alive or dead depending on your preference?'

Hisha turns on the visibility, seeing through her eyes as she casually drags a body in a sack across the ground.

[Alive, he's crucial in the execution of this plan]

'Alright, master.' Willow replies, nodding her head, taking a different route to the castle.

Looking forward, he sees several other bodies lying lifeless nearby. All of them look similar to each other; vampires dressed in black robes. Their faces are covered completely save for their mouths which are wide open revealing sharp fangs.

[Every time you create a puppet, they turn out to be monstrous beings trapped in a cute or stunning beauty that entices the targets with sex appeal until death or trouble ensues]

'I won't deny it, I do enjoy the sex part and there are times when I want someone who will obey without questions, like myself.' Hisha chuckles darkly.

Turning off the visibility, he returns to his seat by the window overlooking the city below.

[27:07:03]

He knew all it takes is to wait it out till dawn comes and everything should go according to plan. After all, no matter where he is, he always has a way home.

*****

A few hours pass since Vanas left his bed, leaving only Siadra alone inside sleeping soundlessly.

His mind wandered aimless thoughts while staring blankly at the wall opposite his headboard. It felt strange having Siadra sleep so peacefully while his mind raced endlessly.

It wasn't long though before he heard footsteps coming along the hallway leading to his bedroom door.

Knock!

Knock!

The series of successive faint knocks on his door had him approach the moment he could understand what the knocks meant.

Click!

Slipping out of the room, he closes the door behind him carefully listening intently to see if anyone else came close enough to hear anything.

Nothing!

Instead, a hooded vampiress stood just beyond the doorway looking around curiously. A pair of red glowing eyes stared right past him, taking note of every detail possible before bowing to his presence.

He looked calm knowing full well why she might've come knocking and taken such a huge gap between them.

"My Count," she says respectfully. Her voice sounded soft but deep from under the cloak covering most of her features. She bows again deeply. "I have some news to report regarding advisor Amon's whereabouts."

Smiling gently, he walks slowly toward her, stopping short of reaching her. Looking down at her kneeling form, he smirks softly.

Reaching out, he grabs one side of her robe lifting it high above her waist exposing her nakedness beneath. Releasing her, he moves back further allowing her to stand upright.

Her hands move quickly to adjust her robe once more, hiding fully.

Standing tall now, she smiles brightly up at him. "Thank you, my Count!"

His smile grows wider showing rows of white teeth. "You're welcome… now tell me, did you get him?"

The lady looks down dejectedly and shakes her head sadly. "Unfortunately, no. However-"

Before she finishes speaking, he cuts her off and snaps, "Then how dare you show yourself here? What were you thinking?!"

She gasps quietly, lowering her gaze. "I apologize, Count, please forgive an errant servant's mistake. Please allow me to report what clues we found."

Nodding silently, he watches her closely as she begins talking.

"Our sources say he's headed towards the citadel." She pauses briefly, glancing over her shoulder nervously.

'This won't end well.' She whispers mentally.

Punching on the wall, Vanas growls causing the lady to jump back slightly.

Turning away from her, he continues glaring straight ahead ignoring any attempts by the lady to speak to him.

After a minute passes, he finally speaks. "Take two knights and get him before he does what I think he'll try doing next. If not..."

The lady lowers her head before whispering. "What would happen then, my Count?"

Vanas sighs heavily, turning to face her. The anger is still evident in his expression. "If this doesn't work, I'm going after him. No matter where he goes, I shall find him and end him with my bare hands."

The lady raises her head slowly and her jaws drop at the sight of the Countess leaning against the wall watching attentively.

Siadra stands motionless, unmoving, waiting patiently for whatever happens next.

Vanas turns sharply facing her. "Beloved? How long have you been standing there!?"

Sighing loudly, Siadra steps forward, wrapping her arms tightly around Vanas' neck and pulling him into another passionate kiss.

Vanas was lost in the depths of passion forgetting anyone present including himself. All that mattered to him at the moment was Siadra.

The lady lowers her head, feeling embarrassed yet relieved seeing their display. Turning swiftly, she gives them a sense of privacy.

Vanas pulls free from Siadra's lips releasing her hand and letting it fall limply onto her hip.

Breaking from the kiss, she replies in a whisper. "Long enough."

Vanas' heart pounds in his thoughts as to what this could mean.

She takes a glance at the hooded lady and back at Vanas before asking, "why do you seek Amon's life?"
