Reincarnated As a Vampire [English Version]

Volume 2 Chapter 8

A Night of Victory and Temptation

Tonight, we gathered in the town square to celebrate our hard-earned victory after the war.

I sat among my people on the chairs that had been prepared.

Rose was busy serving food and drinks to everyone.

There was a feast laid out before us—an abundance of dishes. Lady Livy had done most of the cooking, with Rose helping her along the way.

We all ate and drank while chatting together. Without realizing it, the night had grown late. Many of them had drunk too much and were now starting to pass out, one after another.

“Fuaaaah…”

I yawned. Sleepiness crept in, though I wasn’t drunk at all.

As I got up to leave, I noticed Alice sleeping on one of the chairs.

She looked peaceful.

“So cute… Alice-chan.”

My gaze fell to her slender white neck.

Suddenly, a wave of vampiric hunger surged within me.

Her blood... it smelled unbelievably delicious.

I leaned in, instinctively sniffing the scent near her neck.

But just as quickly, I snapped back to my senses, clutching my head in alarm.

No... This is bad. Ever since I evolved, why have I become like this?

Needing to cool off, I flew up to the rooftop, hoping to calm myself.

Rose must’ve noticed, as she soon followed after me.

“Avrora-sama, you seem troubled. What are you doing up here?” she asked gently.

“Ah… Rose. Honestly, after seeing Alice just now, my vampire instincts went wild. I was scared… afraid I might hurt her without realizing it.”

Rose nodded in understanding. “Then please, come with me. I’d like to show you something.”

“Where are we going?” I asked, curious.

“I’m taking you to my home… the place where our fellow vampires live.”

I was slightly surprised—but perhaps it was a good idea. I did want to meet them.

Eventually, we arrived at Vampire Castile, the home of the vampires.

What I saw was a massive structure. Once inside, I found halls, staircases, and many rooms—it felt like a haunted mansion.

Soon, the other vampires came to greet me, bowing deeply in respect.

A handsome man with long brown hair and red eyes stepped forward and knelt before me.

“Welcome, Avrora-sama. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ellard, the leader of the vampires.”

I smiled politely. “Nice to meet you, Ellard-san.”

“As Rose mentioned, you are indeed a Progenitor... and incredibly beautiful. It’s an honor to have you here. If you wish, you may even take over as our leader.”

I shook my head firmly.

“No, I already have my duties leading this nation. You should continue to lead the vampires, Ellard-san.”

“Understood, Avrora-sama. Then, if I may ask—what brings you here tonight?”

I looked toward Rose, who stepped forward to explain.
