Seduce The Villainess (GL)-Chapter 193 Lady Of The Night (17)
(Outskirts Of New Atlantic City)
(Castle Eden- Secret Room)
"Human… explain this to me one more time," Camilla whispered lazily as she stared at the peculiar device in her hand.
The vampire leader of Clan Volantis was currently sitting down on a chair while her pet human sat near her feet.
She lowered the device so that her human could see the strange images that were appearing on its surface.
"Yes mistress… this is a cell phone… you can use it to contact people hundreds or even thousands of miles away," Mary replied seriously as she tapped the phone.
"It is also connected to the internet so you can browse information, watch videos or messages as well as communicate."
"And this internet…" Camilla tilted her head with confusion evident on her face.
Mary resisted the urge to sigh as she repeated her explanation for what seemed like the hundredth time.
Her vampire master had spent centuries slumbering deep below her castle which meant that she missed out on all the inventions that were created during that time.
Cell phones, planes, television, medical and scientific advances…
She was like a woman out of time.
The world to her would be both familiar and strange.
Mary would have felt sympathy for Camilla if it were not for the fact that she was this beautiful vampire's prisoner.
She patiently powered on the device and then began to do her best to explain the modern world to the ancient vampire.
Why was she being truthful?
Well… Camilla's blood control ability extended to being able to hear the heartbeats of nearby humans.
She was basically a lie-detector.
Mary only learnt of her ability when she intentionally left out an important detail about how to use social media.
Camilla was immediately able to recognise that the young woman's heart rate had increased and punished her servant with two firm slaps to her rear.
As well as a threat of more unspeakable punishments…
Since then, Mary tried to calm herself down and only speak the truth.
Thirty minutes passed and eventually by some miracle she was able to teach her new mistress about the internet and how to navigate the various functions of a cellphone.
Mary took a moment to catch her breath and she felt as though her throat was feeling a bit dry.
She reached for glass of water on the nearby table and took small sips of the liquid inside the container.
What she didn't know what that her movements attracted the attention of the beautiful vampire woman who gazed at the human with thirst evident in her eyes.
"This all too much… I'm getting hungry… come here my pet," Camilla whispered seductively as she gripped Mary by her chin and dragged her closer.
Her sharp fangs glistened under the light as she took a small bite out of Mary's lower lip and sucked the blood that trickled out of the wound.
This feeding process…
Mary tried to struggle but the supernaturally strong grip of the vampire clutching her chin made it impossible to escape.
A moan escaped Camilla's mouth as she abandoned the feeding process and instead focused on kissing the young woman.
Her lips… were so soft and sweet.
Camilla's tongue swirled around Mary's mouth before eventually pulling away. A thin thread of saliva connected the pair's lips and Camilla's crimson eyes darkened.
This human… was physical attraction a characteristic of the Sun-born?
Perhaps nearby vampires would feel lust towards them and that would cause them to lower their guards.
It was a phenomenon that was worth investigating in the future.
Mary stumbled slightly as she felt the firm hand on her chin move away.
There was a hidden trace of loss in her eyes as she stared at Camilla who looked off into the distance.
"We will begin your training today," Camilla finally spoke as she got up from her chair and walked towards the room's exit.
"Follow me… I wish to have a strong bodyguard who is able to protect me."
Mary quickly stepped in line and walked behind the sensual figure who gently swayed her voluptuous hips from side to side.
Castle Eden was truly magnificent, and the architecture inside was generally unchanged from when it had been built in the medieval period.
The main changes were the modern touches such as outlets, sockets and some new paintings that hung on the walls.
Camilla frowned as she passed the new paintings and casually waved her hand at them. A blood arrow shot forward from her fingertips and shredded the canvases into pieces.
Mary remained silent as she watched her mistress slowly remove the traces of modern art that littered her castle.
This brief moment of peace gave Mary some time to think and plan her next moves. Today was going to be her first day of training to become a bodyguard.
It was just that this didn't make any sense…
Clearly this beautiful vampire was extremely powerful, and it was unlikely that a weak human woman like herself would be able to protect her.
Hell, anything strong enough to pose a threat to Camilla would most likely be able to deal with her in a matter of seconds.
Well… she did say something about 'Sun-born'
Sun-born? f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦
Mary closed her eyes and quickly accessed the original Mary's memories for any clue or hint about the phrase.
She found nothing.
The original Mary did not live very long after being rescued from the vampires' clutches since her father killed her the very same night that she returned home.
That bastard…
Mary opened her eyes and a trace of hatred surfaced in her gaze. She would make sure that he paid for his sins.
Camilla led her through a winding labyrinth of side passageways and corridors until they arrived at a wide-open field in the center of the massive building.
There was a glass dome covering the entire length of the field which was impressive since Mary estimated that it was around five kilometres in every direction.
The beautiful vampire snapped her fingers and a thin thread of blood wrapped around a sword on a weapons rack in the corner of the field.
The sword flew into her palm, and she tossed the blade at Mary with a casual throw. Mary moved to the side and blade fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
"Okay… pick that up and attack me," Camilla calmly spoke as if talking about the weather or something trivial.
"What?" Mary blurted out in shock.
"You heard me pet. Pick up that blade and attack me… surely you don't think that we have all day?" Camilla sneered in a mocking tone.
"Are you deaf? What I am telling you right now is an order. PICK. UP. THAT. SWORD."
Mary frowned slightly and refused to fall for the vampire's obvious provocations. She picked up the blade and felt its hefty weight in her palm.
It would be difficult to wield properly since she lacked the strength needed to use her swordsmanship skills.
Swordsmanship skills?
What swordsmanship skills?
Mary's confusion only lasted for a brief moment because Camilla rushed forward with a crimson blade in her left hand.
The young woman reflexively lifted up her weapon and blocked the blow. Mary could feel her wrists sting as the force of Camilla's attack travelled up her arms.
Camilla continued to attack with thrusts, slashes and slices as Mary narrowly avoided each blow using the blurred memories that surfaced in her mind.
"Good… good… very good my pet," Camilla smiled happily with her fangs bared.
She swung her sword at Mary's chest and the blow was blocked by the human who took a few steps backwards.
Mary could feel her chest ache with every passing minute since her body was a malnourished girl in her late teens.
Eventually it became too difficult to wield the sword, so she was forced to drop it to the ground.
Now she could only use her body to dodge Camilla's attacks and occasionally punch at her wrist hoping to get the vampire to drop her sword as well.
Of course, she was too weak so any hits that she landed were easily shrugged off by the vampire whose crimson eyes shone with a hypnotic light.
"Okay… I've seen enough," Camilla took a step back and cut a small hole in her wrist. The crimson sword in her palm returned to a liquid state and then re-entered her body.
"You have done quite well for a human."
