Ikemen Sengoku: The Oda Forces' Mind-Controlling Vampire

The Banquet

MITSUHIDE'S POV

I excused myself and started following Fayre to where she was going. I saw her talking to a maid so I got closer to them, staying undetected.

"...my Lady! Do you know where Miyako went? I haven't seen her in ages." a maid said, looking terribly worried.

"Maybe Miyako went on break? What does she look like?" Fayre asked.

"Well, she has pretty blonde hair just like you, Princess. She also has light pink eyes and always wears a bow." Aiko said.

"I'm sure we'll find her soon." Fayre smiled a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

(What is wrong with Fayre? It wouldn't be surprising if she had done something to Miyako.)

Fayre waved at Aiko and continued walking to her room while I continued following her. She soon opened the door and opened her closet door.

"Miyako? Are you still... alive?" She taunted derisively.

She laughed at Miyako's corpse and took a knife from her bag, and started dividing Miyako's body parts.

(...I didn't expect Fayre to be so... ruthless with her prey.)

She raised her hand and was about to slice into Miyako but I stepped into her room and took the knife from her hand.

"So, you know a Miyako," I said, smiling to see how she reacts.

"I do! That's her right there! Now give me back the knife. Haha!" Fayre gave me another crazed smile.

"I don't think so and I suppose I should tell Lord Nobunaga about you killing one of his maids," I said trying to get on the upper hand.

"Darling, that's cute. That's precious even! Too bad you won't remember this even happening. My charming darling, you are to forget about what you saw and walk away from here."

Fayre stared at me and I felt my memories being attacked one by one of this event and it was as if my feet just glided by itself of her room.

(Why am I here? I don't remember walking so far. I can't believe I would just forget something I'm doing. That never happens.)

FAYRE'S POV

(Something is telling me this is just the calm before the storm. I ought to just get rid of this person with magic.)

I waved my hands and Miyako's corpse disappeared into nothing.

A FEW HOURS LATER...

The banquet was about to start anytime soon so I donned a stunning red and orange kimono with a black obi and yellow haori. I had done my makeup and drew a pretty flower on my forehead. I tied my hair up with a flower hairclip and picked up my fan.

I went to the audience chamber and it was so well-decorated and looked so different! There were sake containers everywhere with delicious-smelling food and all the warlords were dressed in their utmost finery.

"Lady Fayre! You look gorgeous!" Mitsunari said with his big, sunny smile.

"Aw, thank you very much, Lord Mitsu!" I smiled as well.

"M-Mitsu?" He asked, blushing really hard.

"Hehe, your blushing makes you look even cuter Lord Mitsu!" I teased him a little and poked him on the forehead gently.

Soon, I saw all the other warlords walk up to me and Mitsu and my unreserved smile was nothing more than a misty memory.

"I commend you for your appearance, Fayre," Nobunaga said, smirking.

"Thank you for the kind words, Lord Nobunaga," I said with a polite smile.

"The lass looks even cuter than usual!" Masamune added, grinning.

"Thank you, Masamune. You don't look so bad yourself." I said, with a slightly bigger smile.

"I hate to admit it, but Fayre, you look beautiful tonight..." Hideyoshi begrudgingly said, with red submerged in her cheeks and ears.

"Aw, the little monkey can be sweet to me if it really wants to!" I said mockingly, hugging him tight to make him blush more.

"I-I'm not going to say anything..." Hideyoshi uttered quietly.

"You look... decent," Ieyasu said, looking obviously uncomfortable.

I laughed and hugged him as well because he looked like he needed it.

"My, my. Our vampire has captured the heart of everyone!" Mitsuhide said with an impish grin.

"Of course I did! Have I captured yours yet?" I asked, tilting my head innocently while touching his chin to look down upon me and I smirked beneath narrowed eyes.

I had finished drinking my sake by that time so my eyes seemed redder than usual, my cheeks were rosy, and my voice was much more honeyed than before.

"Lady Fayre, you look really intoxicated. Do you need help?" Mitsunari asked in a worried tone.

"Darling, I'm okay! See~" I glided my fingertips on his chin, neck, and lips.

I gave him bedroom eyes and he started blushing harder and I hugged him tighter than I hugged anyone else.

"Come with me, my precious," I begged him with my low, deep voice.

"The banquet was wonderful, but Lady Fayre and I will be going now my lords," Mitsunari explained to them.

I heard goodbyes from the warlords and I led Mitsunari to my room...
