Elder, Ein, Yaling, and Human – 3
I was not shocked. But it was definitely reached. Since Cabila was a vampire with a cold heart, instead of being shocked, she judged calmly.
“… You say your sister is suspicious of me?”
“To be precise, ‘Elder’. What kind of Yailing could kill the Elder single-handedly? Another elder helped, or killed and framed, the possibility… Tyr, the ruler, would be hard to overlook.”
“The suspicion itself is valid. By the way, did your sister really say that?”
Pretty sharp. If you’re a vampire, you’re a vampire. It’s going to be difficult to mislead you on your own.
“No. Tyr doesn’t want to suspect the Elder, her faithful confidant and valued ally. But her suspicions should definitely be settled, right? So, that means that I came forward to solve that concern instead.”
“Isn’t her life worth it? Off topic….”
Anyway, Kabila, who confirmed that I was arbitrary, rather liked her.
“When I thought about where she got the bag of blood she liked, it was surprisingly expensive. That’s right. My sister doesn’t suspect us very well.”
“That’s right. If she’s a vampire, I thought she’d calmly find her culprit.”
“It’s about not being biased toward emotions. It’s different from having a lot of doubts. Above all, to my sister, our Elder was an limb. Her hands and feet are out of question. To her hands and feet, the body is more precious than anything else….”
Kabila muttered briefly before replying with a more serious attitude.
“Okay. Cheeky lover. What do you want to know?”
“The grudge of the late Mr. Ruskinia.”
“It’s just like I said. Our Elder is a vampire. She’s not driven by emotion. Accidental killing is an excuse only humans pick up and contain, and no Elder, feeling a grudge, will create an uncertain, risky, unprofitable killing spree.”
Kabila’s words were full of conviction. She herself believed it wholeheartedly, and as she said, she was not the culprit of the Ruskinia murders.
Well, she knew that through mind reading. In the first place, I came here to look for clues.
“I think Tyr thought similarly. But I’m here to consider the worst case, right? Think differently.”
“Different? How?”
“Come on. Among the elders, the culprit is ‘there is’. Then who is it?”
If you are sure there is, there is something you can see. If you change your assumptions, your perspective changes, and if so, Kabila will provide new clues. Even if she doesn’t know the answer now, if she comes to a conclusion based on the experience she’s known for 11 centuries, it’s a clue in itself.
I’ve been waiting for a while for an answer. However, Kabila soon shook her head.
“I really don’t know. It’s so stupid that I can’t think of anything other than Rungken, but Rungken is so stupid that he can’t hide the evidence. No, I wouldn’t even think about hiding it. So I really don’t know.”
“I heard that the late Ruskinia used to treat people harshly.”
“Huh. Okay. The bat child must have thought that humans would come out of the ground when they dug. She treated her human badly and killed her, then went in search of another human. She keeps selling me a human, handing it to me…. It’s clear that he’s really blind after all he’s been doing with bats. How have I fed, slept, and taken care of them for hundreds of years, should I give them to you if I shamelessly ask for them?”
Kabila spoke of her as if she were a rancher who had multiplied her herds, and in reality she was not much different from him.
Blood weaver Kabila is kind to humans. That’s Kabila’s character, and her wisdom, which she’s shaped by her experience nearing the 11th century.
Humans are not a threat. Kabila doesn’t have any trouble managing her even if the number of humans increases a little. She’s in charge of the shore, and she gets resources easily. Kabila’s kin handle her blood and bones, and the more traps they lay on the shore, the more likely they are to feed hundreds.
Don’t get me wrong. Kabila does not regard humans as equals. With a delicate personality, the result of cold calculation is kindness.
… So, does that not make it kind? Wouldn’t that be enough to just call it love?
“I got it anyway.”
“Am I not suspicious?”
“I came in the least suspicious order.”
“The basis?”
When she saw her fighting in Claudia, 1:1 seemed the weakest… I can’t say that. I made up a reasonable reason and said.
“Because you are devoted to Tyr. Lady Kabila wouldn’t make Tyr worry.”
Kabila snorted her snort.
“Huh. You have a knack for flattering yourself.”
“Thanks to that, I even took the place of Sijo’s concubine.”
“Actually, it must be for a different reason. Anyway, nothing more to say about the culprit….”
Hmm. She thought she had read it, but she was Kabil and she was not the culprit. She didn’t have a harvest, though.
The late Ruskinia seemed to have bought a lot of originality here and there. She is treated like that by the same Elder, but what about humans?
There was a reason no one asked about Lire Nightingale’s motives. She is because Ruskinia itself was her motive.
Hmm. So who are you really…. When i scratch my chin Kabila stood up from her seat, she asked.
“Aren’t humans hungry all the time? Would he give me something to eat?”
“Yes. Please.”
I can’t stand this.
Kabila cooked her freshly caught seafood. A teddy bear under her control stood on her cutting board, scaling her with her sharp bone knife and slicing her sashimi. In the meantime, dragon soldiers wearing aprons put large crabs in a pot and steamed them.
Cooking was simple and quick. In a matter of minutes, a set meal made of fresh seafood was served. Kabila said, defeating her dragon disease.
“Eat. I prepared it with food that doesn’t change the taste of blood as much as possible, so it doesn’t matter if you eat a lot.”
“You take so much care of my health… thank you. I will accept that will and become healthy.”
“As my sister says, it’s for her sister, not for you!”
Sashimi sprinkled with fruit juice tasted very luxurious. It is said that fresh fish can be eaten raw, but only when you can eat it. The firm flesh stimulated my tongue with a savory taste different from that of meat.
The steamed crab that came out in the middle boasted a truly violent taste. The warm flesh was crushed by the tongue, creating an explosion of flavor.
This is life. Have you been numb with such a chef by your side until now? Decided Save Tyr’s tongue today.
Kabila watched me eat food… Asked in passing.
“What happened to your sister?”
I’ve been wondering, but it took me a long time to ask here. I pretended not to know and asked again.
“What happened?”
“I can’t feel her sister’s dominance. From the first time she met her, she felt the trembling she should have felt… It’s gone. It’s not like her sister is intentionally letting it go. I can tell…. Do you know anything?”
Hmm. What do we do. Should I pretend not to know? Asking back how I, an ordinary human, know the physiology of a vampire?
‘I can’t just be her sister’s lover. She must be something no, it has to be What happened to your sister… She needs to know how she has changed.’
But that would only put the suspicions on the back burner. Let’s talk It was revealed that he was the king of humans, but what?
I put the food in my mouth and spoke as lightly as possible.
“No big deal. I got my heart back.”
“Heart… ?”
“Yes. After a great adventure, Tyr remembered her long-forgotten heartbeat. Not only did she succeed in getting her running again.”
It took a while for Kabila to accept it as it was unprecedented for a heart that had already died to start beating again. I explained in more detail to help you understand better.
“Life separates me from the world and maintains that difference. On the contrary, death is becoming one with the world. Because the heart revived, Tyr’s power, blood manipulation, followed the heart to separate himself from the world. Thanks to that, his dominance has weakened a little, but Tyr himself hasn’t changed much, so don’t worry.”
“… You helped with that So my lover….”
Vampires are secretly quick-witted. Is it because of the experience, or is it because there is nothing to crush with emotions. It is difficult to ascertain now. Reluctantly, I nodded.
“Yes, what. That’s why it’s not a big deal.”
“… That’s great.”
“Please tell Tyr. Tyr will be happy too.”
That’s it, rice is rice. After clearing the plate, I stood up satisfied.
“I ate well. I’ll just go. We will investigate the culprit as carefully as possible, so don’t worry too much.”
As I was about to say hello and stand up, Kabila moved the teddy bear. Her teddy bear’s mouth swelled and her voice came in like ventriloquism.
As if she was arguing that Kabila wasn’t talking.
“Watch out for Valdamir.”
“Valdamir? Are you red blooded? Are you suspicious of red blood cells?”
“Suspicious or not, that is not the issue.”
Vampires are vampires no matter what anyone says. Monsters with non-beating hearts and cold blood, drinking human blood.
With cold reason, they have extremely few emotional ups and downs. Do you think it is dishonest? We neither hope for the best nor reject the worst.
“I can’t decide who is the culprit. But, if. If Valdamir has other plans.”
Just as I came to Kabila first, because it seemed the least dangerous.
Cabila also thinks with the same logic and is wary.
It’s okay if everyone else betrays you. Not dangerous.
But only one. The strongest Elder and the undisputed ruler of this land. Red blood Valdamir.
If he intends to throw off the bridle that binds him.
“… Now that my sister is out of her bridle. Even her sister could be in danger.”
