Chapter 49: Accept our Relationship II
"I understand my situation," he said, looking at her, reverting to his irrational self just to deal with her. "I married your daughter and didn't ask for your permission for that, did I?"
"Indeed… that's it." She looked at Vergil, deep in thought, with a dazed expression. She had at least questioned this; in fact, she had swept it under the rug to avoid focusing on it too much…
Who was she kidding? She was very interested in him! She hadn't cared about that fact until now!
"Don't worry, I intended to do this with each of my wives," Vergil commented with a smile.
"Heh..." She gave a small smile. "What will you do if I don't let you be with my dear and precious daughter?"
"M-Mom?!" Katharina said, startled at the sight of that deathly smile!
"Silence." Her eyes glowed red for a moment, and a murderous intent coursed through her body, almost suffocating her.
"S-Sorry," Katy backed away.
"Answer me," she looked at Vergil again.
The answer to that question was simple: "I don't intend to do anything."
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Katy and her mother exclaimed in unison.
Continuing with a slight smile, Vergil said, "In the end, your opinion on this matter doesn't matter much," he was honest and shrugged.
"Kid—" "Shh, your opinion is irrelevant. She's already married to me. I'm just trying to ensure I don't have to deal with another mother-in-law. After all, Ada's mother is already a problem; I don't want to have two negative influences, you understand?" He was straightforward.
"Besides, as far as I know, Katharina is an adult. If she wants to be with me, then it will happen, even if you kill me afterward. Well, I'll just find a way to come back to life and be with her again," he said again, shrugging as if it were completely normal!
"D-Darling," Katy said, her face red and a small happy smile on her lips; it was quite obvious she wasn't against it. However...
"Kid, you're speaking too loudly for someone without strength," Sapphire said in a venomous tone, her murderous intent leaking from her body; she seemed quite irritated.
"Yes, I'm weak right now, but sometimes brute force isn't the solution to certain situations."
"Heh," she shot him a scornful smile. "If I kill you now, you'll never be able to be with my daughter."
Vergil felt Katharina's face tighten slightly. 'I see… she's not joking around, is she?' Vergil questioned, enough to understand that Sapphire was serious.
"Think with me... if you kill me now, what will happen?" Vergil said slyly, trying to persuade her…
"I would just bring my daughter back home, that's all." Sapphire shrugged.
"Hm, I see, you only think about your daughter… So, whatever."
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
They both grunted again. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'WHATEVER'?! SHE'S GOING TO KILL YOU!" Katharina shouted, and Vergil looked at her, smiling. ϝι%п?ƌ#-$мө&я@ҽ-#ѕ@т-о&яιҽ@ѕ-օи%-Ϻ!Ѵ∟εϺƿ!Үя?
"Well, according to her, she hasn't had fun in a thousand years... And honestly, let her kill me. I don't want to be entertainment for a woman like that. Let her die of boredom after betraying the love of the daughter she so dearly loves and protects… She will hate you for all eternity." Vergil shrugged, dropping a nuclear bomb in Sapphire's lap...
"What?" She looked confused. "She would hate me...? Her own mother...? That's impossible."
"Why is it impossible? You've lived a long time, right? By the way you talk, I can tell." Vergil said, then added, "So you must know how easily a child can hate their parents, right?"
"Naive," she commented.
"You're naive; your way of thinking is very naive," she continued, so he replied:
"Oh… so you think your daughter is just like you, and she would never feel betrayed by her mother—the person she has loved since birth—killing the man who currently holds all her happiness? Oh yes, go ahead, kill me." Vergil said, spreading his arms out in a cross-like shape.
"Come on, end your thousand-year-long fun, lose your daughter's friendship, love, and affection, and return to your eternal boredom." He provoked.
She bit her lip, her eyes gleaming, but she didn't move.
"That's why I said, it doesn't matter if you approve of Katy and me. In the end, I'm still going to be with Katy." He spoke neutrally, then added, smiling happily, "I've just become something irreplaceable for Katy, and there's nothing you can do about it."
"Indeed..." Sapphire lowered her head a bit, her bangs hiding her eyes, and soon she started biting her nails.
"But that doesn't mean I can't train you in the most brutal way possible, until your flesh begs to rest in the graveyard of the dead," Sapphire muttered under her breath while biting her nails…
"Sapphire Agares," Vergil called the woman's attention. "Killing me would also be a waste," he commented, smiling as crazily as she had…
"Now that my wife's bitch of a mother has provoked me… I'm going to do some very interesting things," he muttered, his teeth… looking like a shark's as he laughed, his face slightly distorted.
Vergil then made a small scene…
"When I first saw you. Do you know what I felt?" He asked, then added as Sapphire looked at him, "Fear… I felt fear, but I also feel disappointed and frustrated."
"Oh…?" She opened a wide smile.
He approached her and crouched down to her level—she was still lying on the beach chair—and calmly touched her face, smooth like jade and flawless, with nothing but pure blush and life.
"I couldn't satisfy my desire to fight... That's really frustrating."
His glowing green eyes seemed to lose intensity, and then his smile grew distorted, showing all his sharp teeth. That smile only made me more excited, but…
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Really, it's disappointing!" She shouted, laughing even louder, causing small tremors around the area.
He calmly stopped caressing her face and stood up, with both women looking at him almost as if he had done something surreal! And he had! He… He… He just stroked the face of the most dangerous woman in the entire world!!!
"Katharina… My beloved daughter, I permit you to stay with Virgil," she said with a sensual smile, looking completely different from a few moments ago.
"I also decide something…" Sapphire said, laughing lightly. "This is going to be interesting, my son-in-law," she said, laughing.
