Chapter 2: Chapter 2

 

In a vast hall, a feast was being hosted.

There was a lot of clattering and chatting.

According to the dress code, it appears to be a major event.

And in the midst of all of this, I stand...

In front of me, a little girl was sobbing. 

She has crimson eyes and pale white skin as if she has no blood inside her. She was dressed in a black gown and high heels.

Her table was considerably separated from the others.

Looking around, I noticed that many others were gazing at her and maintaining their distance.

'Where have her parents gone?'

I was pondering about the problem when I heard murmuring echoing down the corridor.

"I heard she used her devilish magic to murder her brother."

"Oh my God, she's done it. I feel bad for her brother, who died as a result of this girl."

"I know she's a blight on the empire, and I'm not sure why she's invited to this feast."

Many comments were hurled at her As she listened to people with harsh emotions

The expression on her face tells me she was in a lot of suffering.

Her looks were not those of a grieving kid, but rather of someone who had lost her desire to live and was simply suffering.

I'm not sure why, but seeing her in this situation caused my heart to ache.

I began approaching her, ignoring the glances of others.

I know I shouldn't be doing this right now; instead, I should figure out why I'm here, yet it seems right.

I approached the table and took an empty seat.

"Hey, why are you crying?"

I spoke in the kindest tone I could muster.

When the girl who was crying while hiding her face noticed someone's presence, she stopped crying and withdrew her hand. She looked at me with her scarlet eyes.

"W-what? You will also *hiccup* insult me.''  She rubbed her eyes and said

"I'm not here to offend you or anything; I simply can't stand people crying in front of me."

"T-that's none of your business"

"Oh, please don't push me away from you. I'm also alone at this party and don't know anybody else, so I thought I'd introduce myself to you. Please allow me to sit beside you."

She held her gaze on mine as if to confirm something, and I did the same. demonstrating that I was not a horrible guy

She takes her sight away from me and speaks in hushed tones, maybe out of shyness.

"So you're a decent guy?"

"I wouldn't call myself a decent person, but you could say that," I said with an embarrassed grin.

The people in the hall were staring at us with frightening eyes.

"Is that kid out of his mind?"

"In any case, does anyone recognize him? He doesn't appear to be acquainted."

"Will he truly talk to a murderer?"

Why were they labeling this sweet-looking girl as a murderer?

She is incapable of murdering anyone.

When I restored my sight to the girl, I noticed the tears that had fled only minutes before returning and falling once again.

"You shouldn't be here, Mister. If you stick too close to me, people will think less of you, which will bring you problems. As a result, I believe you should leave."

Her voice was trembling as she said those words.

Then perhaps, feeling nervous, she was about to leave, but something was telling me to stop her.

*Swish

When she discovered that my hands were clutching hers, she demanded angrily.

"What exactly are you doing? Leave me alone!"

Even in her harsh tone, I could tell she was upset.

"Would you like to go over there till your parents arrive?"

After glancing at her hand, which was held in mine, she returned her eyes to me.

"Don't you worry about what people think of you, mister?"

"I swear I don't, so  wanna  head there."

Contemplating for a moment She nodded as we took our seats at a less crowded table than the rest of the hall.

I could tell she was anxious about something, so I inquired.

"So, what is your name?"

She exhales deeply and says,

"My name is Veronica Bloodfallen."

'Veronoca Bloodfallen?'

"That's a lovely name for a lovely young lady," I said, smiling.

Her scarlet eyes shook slightly as she heard my words before returning to their lifeless look.

"Do you mind if I call you Veronica?"

"Um, my father is the only person who is allowed to call me Veronica. You shall call me Lady Veronica."

"All right, Lady Veronica.  Why don't you tell me a little bit more about yourself? What do you like to do?  What is the most valuable thing in the world to you?"

I know it sounds silly to ask this sort of inquiry, but I can't think of anything else. Just pray that she doesn't think I'm weird.

"Why would I reveal anything to you?"

"Do you have any more topics to discuss?"

"Ugh, OK, till my dad comes, I'll chat with you. Then." She expresses her displeasure.

I can tell her mood is changing.

I let out a sigh of relief.

My gaze was drawn to her as she fiddled with her fingers, unsure how to respond.

"If you are uncomfortable, we can discuss something else."

"No, I was just thinking about something, I don't have anything remarkable about me. But, to answer your question, I like training with my father, and my dearest people in this world are my younger brother and my pet Sylvia."

"Your little brother must be overjoyed. to have her lovely little elder sister adore her so much"

She halted, and then, after some time, she began crying again, and seeing this, I panicked.

'Oh my, it looks like I stepped on a land mine.'

"I'm sorry, Lady Veronica.  Did I offend you by saying anything incorrectly?"

"My younger brother is the most unlucky person on the planet to have a sister like me. " she began to utter to herself.

'Fuck, so they were telling the truth,' I realized.

"I apologize for bringing up your late brother."

"I murdered him, I murdered my brother," she said something unbelievable.

Then, with a blank expression devoid of emotion or coldness, she spoke to me:

"I'm an evil person, the people around us were speaking the truth."

To be entirely honest, the girl's reaction terrified even me.

"It's not conceivable; you're not—"

The air suddenly grew heavy, and I began to feel smothered.

"DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME I'M A GOOD PERSON I'M A BLOODY MURDERER WHO KILLED HIS OWN BROTHER"

She started to scream those words at me as the people at the banquet started to gather around us.

The once-calm response erupted into wrath.

"I had a hunch! She has admitted to being her brother's murderer. What a horrible child she is."

"I'm not sure why the royal highness invited such folks to the ball."

"WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT UP, SHE'S A CHILD FOR GOD'S SAKE?" When I heard their taunts, I turned my eyes to the audience and yelled in rage.

The surroundings fell quiet, and then When I turned to speak with the girl again, she was gone.

When I was wondering where she was The scenario in front of me started to change and what appeared in front of my eyes was veronica and another person on the balcony a little far from me.

As I moved around the balcony, I noticed a man in his 20s, quite young, holding Veronica as she grieved.

I elected to hide in a corner and listen in on their chat.

"I'm sorry, Dad. ."

The man with the scarlet eyes, which resembled Veronica's, broke into tears as he watched her daughter cry.

He put his hand in Veronica's hair and began to stroke it.

"Veronica, Veronica, I don't blame you for anything. I understand it was an accident, therefore you don't have to punish yourself."

"But, Dad—"

Veronica, moving her head and looking into her father's eye, was about to say something but stopped midway as saw her father's cheeks were wet.

" If anyone has to take any blame, it has to be me, my child. Please let me take this burden from you." He paused for a moment before saying it again.

"Love and emotions are a curse for humans as well as vampires; it makes us weak and unable to assess the situation, and it also affects our judgment, so from today be the girl who is devoid of any emotions and is firm and be the strongest that you'll be able to protect yourself and the Others besides you. The people who are badmouthing you will praise you one day if you are stronger and also As a member of the great Bloodfallen family, you shall not destroy yourself regarding your brother's incident."

Veronica listened to her father's words with a resolute face, as if she were taking an oath.

I can sense something different in her just by looking at her face.

The emotions had been replaced by goals; the pain she was experiencing had become her motivation, and her father's words had become her motto.

This was the birth of the new Veronica.

A plethora of notifications covered my view, but I was in no situation to check those properly.

'The dream'

I had just had a unique encounter that wasn't part of the game.

'Memory Fragment'

This was unfamiliar to me.

The dream that I had was strange and rather uncomfortable. Both are merged.

My senses and reasoning were altered in the dream from my recollections, as far as I can tell, given the fact that the person was myself.

If I found myself in an unfamiliar location, I would first try to figure out where I was.

But it's as though I couldn't control myself.

If I had to guess, the system was continually monitoring my mental state, preventing me from panicking.

In any event, this is not a terrible thing.

there is nothing to complain about, I know weird things soon will become a part of my daily life.

The memory fragment, To say the least, is extremely intriguing.

I mean, I literally looked into someone's past and gained a lot of experience.

'Hey system, does the function memory fragment happen automatically, or is there a trigger for it?'

"_"

As predicted, no response was received.

"Cathy, Cathy, Do you think our guest is insane?"

"Sister, sister, It doesn't seem like he is!"

"Whaa" Two female voices reached my ears as I was pondering about the system. I followed the sounds and discovered two females my age embracing each other. in the corner of the room

They were both dressed as maids.

As I began to glance about, a startling notion occurred to me.

I was lying on the sheets of a large bed in an extravagant room.

'Calm Down, Mathew, You need to be used to this from now on'

"Um? Could you tell me where I am?"

"Sister, sister, the psycho-looking man is speaking; should we respond?"

"Cathy, Cathy, I think we should respond to him."

'Twins?'

The two maids were, in fact, twins.

The elder One of the sisters stepped forward and answered.

"You are at Lady Veronica Bloodfallen's House; be thankful, peasant." She Said taking pride in it.

My eyes started to twitch upon hearing her answer.

"Sister, sister, Lady Veronica has directed that we treat this guest with respect, not as if he were any other guest."

'So you mean you treat your other guests like this?'

The elder made a modest bow, and the younger followed the suite.

You are reading story In an visual novel where I’m the servant of the Vampire Villainess. at novel35.com

"Ah, my apologies, and we are also thankful that you saved our lady's life."

"No, it's not much,  if I see somebody in danger, it's my responsibility to aid them."

"So you are like a helping man?" Her younger sister titled her in perplexity.

But then I noticed Elder one staring at me with a venomous glare.

'Haah, they're doubting my Nobel help.'

"All I'm saying is that it's a human obligation to aid those in danger; isn't that what you'd do if you saw someone in trouble?" I responded with the most rational response I could think of.

They placed their thumbs on their lips and made a contemplative motion.

"No, we don't think so," they both answered in unison, and I stroked my irritated brow.

"Oh well, I think we all have our differences then. by the way, how is Miss Veronica doing now? Is she well?"

I barely stopped myself, giving them peace of my mind.

Two sisters looked at each other as if to confirm something.

"Yes, since you gave your blood to our lady. She's lovely and vibrant. She remained up all night beside you, waiting for you to wake up, but this morning she received a call from the Mage association about the event in the capital's "Zayrab" market "Cathy said.

'Mage association?'

In Aragon Empire, There are three great power's besides the Empress. In Which The mage association or Guild whatever you call it falls in.

The Supreme Mage, "Victoria Rusfield," established the mage association. The magic casters', or mages, the order was in turmoil in the early stages of the Aragon Empire, threatening the empire's survival, so the Supreme Mage, Victoria Rusfield, founded an organization that looks over the mage's and also offers them certain privileges and pays them salaries. To become a wizard, you must first register.

because if you do not belong to the Mage Association and practice magic in public, you will be labeled a terrorist. Many people were outraged when this announcement became public, but it all came to a halt when the Nobels and the Church expressed their support. To put it another way, anyone who causes trouble for the Mage Association will have to deal with the Other Two. An agreement was forged, which constituted an important aspect of the empire's governing system.

The Mage Association is also in charge of the empire's five Mage Academies.

"We'll watch after you till she returns," the younger one said.

Then there was stillness as the three of us gazed at one other.

*GROWL

My face flushed with embarrassment as my stomach From growls in Hunger.

"I'm assuming you're hungry. So, wait for a couple of minutes till I and Cathy will make your breakfast for you." She asserted, puffing up her chest.

Her lovely face was bright with a smile.

If I were to define their looks, I would say they were twins, as I already stated. They have long hair that is beautifully knotted with a ribbon. (I'm clueless about hairstyles.) The elder's hair is white, whereas Cathy's, the younger, is red. They Both have blue eyes and glossy lips. The most attractive thing would be there stocking which was white. They also had fantastic figures, and their maid costume emphasized their big breasts.

'Is it common for all the maids to have big breasts?'

The twins then exit the room, giving me some privacy.

Then a picture of a specific girl flashed across my head.

'Veronica was adorable even as a youngster.'

Even if the system impacted my behavior in the dream, my sentiments, and the agony I felt staring at her came from the bottom of my heart. I don't want to come out as romantic, but it is what it is.

But now I have a better understanding of the character known as "Veronica," which is helpful if I am to live.

To be honest, Veronica was an honest and decent person in the game, but something snapped inside her in the first half of the game, causing her to conspire with the demons to destroy the Aragon kingdom.

The reason she changed was kept hidden in the game, and I'm not sure if she's the nice Veronica or the Veronica who's trying hard to destroy the empire right now.

Pretty much, I was in a deep shithole.

"In this hassle, I didn't even have the chance to check my stats."

I immediately opened the system screen.

"Wait...that means...I'm...Op?"

A notice from the system shattered my sentiments of superiority just as they were beginning to take hold.

[Important Note: Because all of the user's talents are locked, the user must be patient and avoid doing something dumb that may create serious issues.]

A sigh came from my mouth as I responded to the system.

"Okay, I understand. I was just stunned to learn that I have this much skill."

But there was something worrying me, and that was my race.

The 'Haif Dragon'.

Dragons play an important role in the visual novel plot, although they have little to do with the nice portion of the tale. The dragon was the visual novel's second-most terrifying entity, behind the vampire god. This species is uncommon yet quite strong. It is stated that if one dragon king wishes, he may easily destroy an entire continent, and dragons have caused considerable difficulties for humans as well as other species throughout history. In the past, there was a Supreme Dragon who was the monarch of the dragonic race. It is said that he was so powerful that he even the heavens which is a myth feared him. But in the great war 1200 years ago he was slaughtered by the Vampire God which belonged to the same Bloodfallen family clan.

Following that episode, the dragon race gradually began to lose power and concealed itself from the human race's gaze. However, it is stated that when their dragon god returns, they will rise once again.

This is correct, and when he returns, he'll be a tough cookie for the visual novel's hero to beat.

But I don't believe dragons and humans can have children. Or perhaps they can; in any event, the entire thing was a disaster. They would undoubtedly murder me if they discovered I was of the Dragonic race. Even if no one does, the church's knightly order will undoubtedly execute me.

I hope appraisal is a rare skill.

[ System: User anxiety level Is Increasing ]

I  hope that appraisal is a rare ability.

[System: The user's anxiety level is rising]

"Yeah, thanks for nothing "

[System: Appraisal is a one-of-a-kind talent available just to you.]

"Hey Bruh, That's great news; I was worried that my new fantasy life would end sooner than I expected, " I said, pausing for a second before continuing.

"But what is it about Veronica considering me to be her servant? I literally saved her life; shouldn't she pay me some money and say thank you?"

"_"

"Hey wtf, man You were literally talking to me a while ago about how long you are going to pretend, that you don't exist" I Screamed at the sus system which was not responding to me.

"_"

"Sorry for screaming at you, I lost my temper for a moment"

[ No worries ]

"You motherfucker—huh?"

*Shun

A familiar person appeared in front of me as the door creaked open.

Her face was flushed as if she was frightened about something, and she wore a skintight white coat that emphasized her modest breast and matching white Skirt and her plump thighs were coverd black stockings.

Serval badges were pinned into her coat, giving her the look of a military commander.

I instantly got out of bed and made a little bow of respect.

"Hello, Miss Veronica. I'm very — Mhhh"

As I was expressing my gratitude, she interrupted me mid-sentence and drew me into her arms, my body stiffening in astonishment. After a few moment, she released me and asked me gently.

"Are you alright now?"

"Uh? Y-yes, thanks to the generosity, I'm doing fine."

She looked to be satisfied with my response as her troubled glance relaxed, and she sat on the sofa in front of me.

"I'll be direct. Do you want anything from me?" Her voice, which had been concerned about me, had grown frigid.

I dare not look into her scarlet eyes; I'm afraid if I do, I'll blurt out something stupid, which will make her doubt me more.

"I-impossible, I don't want anything from the great mage Veronica Bloodfallen;

I'm simply thankful to God that I can assist you," I said flustered, my body shaking with anxiety.

[The amount of user stress is steadily rising]

Her piercing stare is all over my body.

She sat up and walked closer to me on the sofa.

She elevated my face with her palm on my chin, forcing me to stare into her eyes.

My body came to a standstill when I looked into her eyes.

'Is this some type of spell?'

[Unknown magic is infiltrating the user]

[The nullifying procedure has begun]

[Magical annulment failed]

She then questioned, her gaze fixed on mine.

"I'll ask you again: Why did you aid me? Is it that you are working for someone else, or that you want anything from me? If you respond correctly, I promise in my life that I will let you live."

My answer will decide where my life will go next, which is why I have to get rid of my fear and answer her question with courage.

[The stress level is decreasing]

Calming myself down, I answered her without fear this time, staring into her eyes.

"I promise I have no grudges against you, and I have no ulterior motivations; it's only that when I saw you there, bleeding on the ground, I don't know why my body went to assist you. That is why I saved you, Miss Veronica, and if you continue to mistrust me, I'll gladly accept any of your decision."

When she heard my response, her eyes shook. I moved away from her as she took her hand from my chin.

I then looked at her face, which had taken on a confused expression.

"I applaud you. It takes bravery to look me in the eyes. Few people in this kingdom can do it as fearlessly as you did." She hesitated for a bit before continuing to speak.

"I looked into your background, and it appears you're not from the Empire, are you?"

The fear that had previously gripped my heart has returned.

"You were captured by a slave trader from an empty field, and then you became a slave in the market of Zayrab, the same market that I was visiting that day and in which I was attacked. Was it just a coincidence? Okay, even if I thought it was just a mere coincidence. You being there to save me when I was dying sounds too fishy, isn't it"

She started walking closer to me, which made my heart quicken.

'Damm the little Veronica was good than the current version'

 

Coming pretty close to me she said loudly.

 

"But, based on your expression, you don't appear to be telling lies, so for the sake of the empire and my personal safety, I'll take you as my slave and keep an eye on you until my suspicions are dispelled."

'Slave, Me??? Of hers?'

"Um, Miss Veronica, I see you are doubting me, but you can still monitor me by various means. I respectfully request that you reconsider your decision," I said.

"I, Veronica Bloodfallen, when I make a decision, I don't rethink it the next time, so unless you want to die, you should take my words seriously and accept your fate."

"I acquired your rights from the slave trader as well," she said proudly.

'daamm, I hate that smug look'

"Rights?" I questioned, perplexed.

"Are you interested in seeing it? Wait, I'll show you."

With her finger, she made a little snap.

As my chest began to shine from beneath the shirt I was wearing.

I rapidly unfastened my shirt, and for some reason, Veronica's eyes shifted elsewhere.

Then I noticed a little circle painted on my chest that was glowing brilliant red.

'A slave crest' '

"From this day onward, you are my property, rejoice"

I stared at her face which was exuding an evil aura as she glared at with an amusing expression.

And I on the other side........

'What sin have I committed to becoming the villainess' slave?' I yelled internally.
