Chapter 3 Rosa Van Scarlet [Edited]
The pair were lying on the grass, cuddled together. A gentle breeze blowing past them. Carmilla was still clinging to Lucian\'s neck with her fangs embedded. His dried blood now staining around her lips. She wore a blissful smile at that moment.
Maids were running around completing their daily tasks. A tall woman with pale white hair and ruby eyes pulled up the mansion\'s pathway. Her black, muscular steed snorting from its fatigue.
p
\'Strange. Why is the mansion so loud? Did something happen? I should grab a maid and find out.\'
She was, in fact, the grandmother of Carmilla. Rosa Van Scarlet. Today she received dreadful news. Her beloved daughter had passed away, leaving Carmilla as her only family.
"I really wish I didn\'t have to tell her. Maybe this way she\'ll stop chasing that Lucian boy blindly."
The maid who saw the pair together approached with a bow. "Mistress Rosa. The young lady is inside her conservatory."
Rosa nodded as she climbed down from her horse, passing its reins to the maid, and walked towards Carmilla\'s conservatory, her steel boots clanging on the stone pavement. She loved the gardens her granddaughter created. She filled them with vibrant colours and elegance.
Her steps suddenly stopped as her pupils widened. "Eh?" Since as long as she\'d known, the boy from the Silver family was a useless wastrel who didn\'t have any abilities or talents. He always ignored her cute granddaughter\'s affection.
However, before her eyes. Her granddaughter tenderly held Lucian on the grass. The flowers cascaded above the pair like giving their blessing. "Such a beautiful scene." She thought to herself.
\'Such a perfectly matched pair visually. It\'s a shame he\'s nothing but a rotten worm… I must salvage him! That is the best way now, since he makes my precious granddaughter smile so brilliantly. Carmilla will need someone to protect her now she\'s all but alone. Her aunt will never allow her to become the head of our family without problems.\'
Rosa noticed even now. Carmilla was gently sucking his blood whilst holding him like a koala. Lucian still held the parasol in his right hand over her body. "Was he always so considerate and romantic?"
She moved closer to the pair, honestly she didn\'t wish to wake them up. However, the news needed to be given to Carmilla, who would have to take over the entire family once she finished studying at the academy.
"What should I do, Vanessa? Do I force them apart or give him a chance?"
Carmilla\'s eyelashes fluttered. She opened her shimmering golden eyes to see the beautiful man still in her arms. "It wasn\'t a dream! I\'m so glad." She gave too one last sip of his blood before parting from him slowly. Her gentle fingers stroking along his cheeks.
\'Lucian... Thank you for this. To you, it might just be a simple kiss. But to me… This one kiss gave me the confidence to go forward and try my best!\' She thought as her hand enjoyed his soft cheeks.
She was oblivious to her grandmother standing a few metres away. Her lips gently touched Lucians, as she wiped the blood from his neck affectionately. The blood around her lips, she licked up with her flexible red tongue.
"Do you love him?" A husky voice entered Carmilla\'s ears. She nodded with no thoughts, then span around with joy. Her grandmother was always busy fighting the monsters in their territory.
"I love him." Carmilla replied without a second moment.
Rosa gave a loud sigh. She trusted her granddaughter\'s choice. "I will give him a chance. If he reaches my standards within six months. I will allow you to marry him." Carmilla\'s eyes shone when she heard her grandmother\'s words. "He will! I know he can match them easily. Lucian is amazing!"
\'That\'s if he still wants me…\' She thought, feeling insecure.
(Lucian POV)
My dreams showed me countless images. I lost Carmilla; the hero chopped off my limbs and finally she pierced my heart with a look of distress. The nightmares continued with images of my parents being mutilated and left hanging in a town square. Things I could never have actually seen. My mind realised this was my memories from Bluestar, seeing the cut-scenes of Lucian\'s death and this world fusing.
I heard Camilla\'s voice; she seemed to have said I was amazing. My heart couldn\'t help fluttering. Was it my feelings or the body\'s owner? Either way, having a beautiful girl believe in you was great. My eyes flickered. The bright light hurt my eyes a little. When I could finally see properly, there was an extremely sexy woman who looked like Carmilla, but in her thirties.
The memories of this woman flooded my head. "Ah, she\'s Rosa Van Scarlet. One of the grand generals of our country. My mother\'s godmother."
\'She\'s damn scary! This woman has a strong intuition if she detects I\'m not Lucian… I am fucked!\' I thought.
Rosa looked at me with a smirk before her luscious lips opened. "Good morning, little prince. Did you enjoy soiling my granddaughter\'s purity?" It filled my mind with question marks.
\'How did I soil her purity? I haven\'t taken her virginity yet! Heck, I\'m a virgin myself!\'
Of course, I was still judging things from a human perspective, like a fool. A female vampire would only feed from members of the same sex until marriage. Only feeding from their future spouse, however, males could feed from both genders with no issues. "Well, that is just like being human inequality and all."
Their reason was deeper. A female vampire\'s first taste of the opposite sex will change her mind forever. She will always link love and affection to that person. She couldn\'t escape this fate. It was especially important for vampiric nobles and royalty. To avoid any accidents, most ladies would have only female servants and helpers.
But this genetic factor was hell for vagrant vampires. They didn\'t know these facts and usually ended up addicted to a drunk or tramp. Once they had tasted the man\'s blood, even if they were told to sell their body daily for a few coins. They\'d still feel affection towards that person.
The only way a woman could break a bond. She needed the blood of a vampire progenitor.
\'If I was a scumbag who didn\'t even like the girl. She would have to live a lonely life of solitude unless a progenitor sprang from the ground like magic. The only one who currently exists is Vladimira, the queen.\'
Since I was going to have a harem and planned to take Carmilla as my wife. I straightened up, my spin raising to my feet. My eyes locked with Rosa\'s as my body tried to face up against her growing pressure. "I will take full responsibility."
\'I cannot buckle now! I need to show my iron will! Don\'t fail me, you can do it!\'
Rosa looked both amused and impressed. She wanted to pat this boy on the shoulder. Despite their difference in power. He had the decency to look her in the eyes, which differed from the boy the maids had described to her. "Has his parent\'s death finally affected his personality?"
Just as I felt her test was ending. The familiar female voice rang in my ears.

I filled my head with the screams of "FUCK!" What was I supposed to do? She\'ll kill me just after promising to take responsibility for her granddaughter. I then started molesting her. What person in their right mind would do that?
I looked towards the extremely mature, beautiful woman before me. Her eyes were like ruby torches, watching my every move. I couldn\'t risk losing my Johnson. I extended my right hand towards her. She seemed confused and grabbed onto me. Her fingers were silky smooth, despite being a warrior. She had no calluses on her hands from her swordsmanship.
My mind counted down the timer. I held her hand as tightly as possible. Her eyes narrowed with a devilish grin. "Since you say so much. I will give you a test. This is a unique [class] stone." Rosa pulled a crimson stone from between her breasts. She placed it on my chest.
"I want you to land a single hit on me within 5 months!"
I felt an intense burning pain. Rosa grabbed my waist and held me against her body. My actions and mind wouldn\'t follow what I wanted them to. It was like being stuck inside a dream watching your body act for you.
(Lucian POV end)
Lucian, in his daze, now had vibrantly glowing crimson eyes. His hand still held onto Rosa, however, his left arm wrapped around her neck. He pulled her closer and slowly approached her brown, tanned neck with his extended fangs. Rosa didn\'t push him away. He was just a young vampire, and she caused this using that strange [class] stone that required the person to have no class and be a noble vampire.
\'Why? What is going on? I feel such thirst… Lucian… I need his blood!\'
She felt his fangs sinking into her neck. Her mind had long forgotten the pleasures of having her own blood sucked. Lucian was currently going berserk. His thirst for her blood was endless. He continued gulping her exquisite blood until she felt dizzy.
"Strange, why do I feel this boy suddenly becoming more dear to me?" Rosa could not control herself and leant down. The woman of over 2000 years sucked blood from her granddaughter\'s fiancée.
She felt like she returned to her 18-year-old self upon drinking his blood. Her young self, at 18 forced into a political marriage between the Kamile and her Scarlet family. She felt all the affection towards the man named Sebastian vanish. Her heart now filled with deep affection towards this boy a fraction of her age.
\'No… He\'s become something different. I feel my mind changing being altered each moment! Damn! Am I going to steal my granddaughter\'s man?\'
Rosa could not stop herself from holding Lucian tightly. She traced her hands along his well defined muscular body. As the boy continued swallowing her blood.
