Chapter XXIII
Count Dracula, who was in the Demon City, was a little restless tonight, especially after his wine glass cracked. He felt that something was going on.
"Master, Master." Ariel, the snow maiden who was in charge of the banquet in the city, called out to Dracula a few times before summoning him back.
"What is it?" Dracula asked casually.
"I need that young lady to accompany me today.”
Dracula turned around and looked at the group of bloodling noble ladies who were dressed up and flirting with him.
"Whatever, just those two." He absent-mindedly pointed around and turned to leave.
In fact, he did not like those arrogant noble ladies at all. He even hated them. He was not used to this noisy environment. However, he had to do this. Whenever he was alone, he would think of Felicia and his heart would ache. He needed something to distract him or he would be surrounded by emptiness and loneliness. Although he had lived like this before Felicia, he couldn't stand the same life now.
These days, Dracula had also started to drink heavily. Alcohol could numb his nerves and make his heartache a little better. What he couldn't stand the most was the rest time every day. As long as he closed his eyes, he would see Felicia's every frown and smile.
Every time he fell asleep, he would be awakened by the same nightmare. In the dream, Felicia was tied to a pillar and burned alive. The horrible screams would make Dracula's clothes wet, and cold air would come out of his body. It made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
That was why he needed those women to stay by his side. That way, he wouldn't have nightmares when he slept. Even if he did dream occasionally, someone could wake him up.
However, every time he woke up at sunset and saw the women he hated lying beside him, he would chase them out in frustration.
However, his mood swings had mesmerized the beautiful vampires. They all hoped that they could be the ones to accompany this big vampire who was directly Embrace by the ancient vampire Abel. His power was even higher than the elders and methuselah. For this reason, they used all their skills to get him, even if they had to fight to the death.。。。。。
Dean carried Felicia into a small village. He knocked on the door of a house and found that it was empty. It seemed that this was another abandoned village.
It was all Dracula's fault for turning a village into this. Dean thought angrily. He gently placed Felicia on the bed and fed her a few mouthfuls of water from the water bottle he brought with him. Only then did Felicia slowly wake up.
Felicia opened her eyes and saw a pair of green eyes in the dim candlelight.
"Ah, Dracula, you're here." Felicia hugged Dean. "I knew you wouldn't leave me behind. You're finally here.”
Dean was so shocked by Felicia's sudden action that he didn't know where to put his hands. He coughed awkwardly." Ahem, ma 'am, did you get the wrong person?”
This voice wasn't Dracula? Felicia quickly raised her head and looked at the person in front of her.
"Ah, s-sorry, I thought you were Dracula.”Felicia hurriedly let go of his hand. "Y-Your eyes look alike. I-I mistook you for someone else.”
How could I look like him? One of us has green eyes, while the other has red eyes.
Dean looked at Felicia in confusion." Hello, my name is Dean. I heard you say that your name is Felicia, right? Are you referring to Count Dracula, the castellan of the Demon City?”
Felicia nodded." Yes, it's him. He's my lover and the father of this child."”Felicia said as she stroked her belly.
"You said that I look like him, so what does he look like?”
"Actually, I'm not saying that you look like him. It's just that your eyes are very similar. As for the other parts, he doesn't look much older than you. He's also very handsome and has very detailed facial features. However, he's not as tall as you and is much thinner than you.”Dracula's handsome face appeared in Felicia's mind.
How is this Dracula? Handsome, delicate, thin, and weak, weren't these all used to describe him? Tall, burly, strong, cold, and angular were the characteristics of Dracula. It seemed that this girl had been deceived by the pretty boy who used Dracula's name to swindle people. Sigh, what a pitiful girl. She didn't even know that she had been deceived.
Dean shook his head." You said that the child is Dracula's. Then do you know that Dracula is a vampire?"”
"Of course I know that." Felicia widened her eyes." Who in Mark Webber doesn't know that he's a vampire?”
"Then, then you're still with him?”Dean asked in confusion.
"He's a good person. He's never hurt me.”Felicia defended herself.
Dean said indignantly,"He treated you and your child like this. How can someone like this be considered a good person?”
"He, he has his own difficulties." Felicia could not help but cry again when she thought of the scene just now.
"He must have a reason.”Felicia was trying to gain more confidence when she told Dean.
"What difficulties could he have? How could a man treat his woman like this? He's not even a man at all. He's simply a beast.”
Felicity said agitatedly," You, you're talking nonsense. I won't allow you to say that about him. You don't know him at all. He, he's, ah, ah, it hurts so much."。。。。。”Felicia suddenly clutched her stomach and fell onto the bed in pain.
It turned out that Felicia had been busy these past few days, and her mood had fluctuated greatly, causing this child to arrive early.
"Hey, what's wrong? Are you okay?”Dean looked at Felicia who was in pain and asked with concern.
"I-I think I'm about to give birth.”
"You're giving birth?" Dean opened his mouth wide.
Felicia was breathing heavily." Y-yes, I'm afraid I'm going to have premature labor."”
"Then, then what should I do?" Dean, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, paced back and forth in the room, scratching his head and rubbing his hands from time to time.
"Hurry up and find someone to help! Hurry up and go." Felicia urged painfully.
" Oh, oh." Di went out to look for her in a flurry. He knocked on every door.
"Is anyone there? Come and help! Someone is going to have a baby." He knocked on more than ten houses in a row, but there was no one, so he had to hurry back.
"F-Felicia. I've searched everywhere but there's no one here. Wait for me to go to a further town to find a doctor.”
"Ah, no." Felicia grabbed Dean who was walking to her side.
"I-I'm in so much pain. The child is about to be born. It'll be too late by the time you come back. Come and help."
"Me?" Dean's finger poked the tip of his nose. I-I've never seen it before, and I don't know how to do it either? You'd better hang in there and wait for me to get someone.”
"No." Felicia grabbed Dean tightly and refused to let go." When you come back, you'll have to collect our corpses. You're not allowed to leave us behind.”
"But I-but…。”
"No more buts. I'm taking care of the cow. Just listen to me.”
" Oh." Dean nodded hurriedly.
"Go prepare some hot water first. The more the better. Prepare some clean cloth and scissors.”
" Oh, yes." Dean hurriedly turned around to prepare his things. He was originally agile and almost tripped over his own feet. He rummaged through the cabinets to find a clean cloth and clumsily started a fire to boil water. She had burned herself several times, and it was not easy for her to get everything ready. He brought the hot water and a cloth into the house.
"F-Felicia is ready. What should we do next?”
"Why are you so slow? I-I can't take it anymore.”Felicia complained, sweating profusely.
"Ah, s-sorry." Dean wiped the sweat off his head with his dusty hands, making himself dirty.
Felicia waved her hand weakly and said," Put something behind me to raise me up a little. Then, you just have to stay by my side and wait for the child to show his head. Then, carefully pull him out and cut the umbilical cord.”
Dean lifted Felicia up and pulled up the blanket in front of her. When he saw everything in front of him, he immediately closed his eyes with a red face. "Ah, this, this I can't do, I, I've never, never seen.。。。。。”
Felicia's body trembled." It's already so late. Why are you still so shy? Do you want me dead?" Hurry up and help."
Dean adjusted his breathing and made up his mind to open his eyes and squat beside Felicia. "What do you need my help with? Ah, what? Ah, it hurts!”
Dean originally wanted to help Felicia, who was in extreme pain, but she grabbed his hair. Her breathing was rapid and her back was covered in sweat. She grabbed Dean's hair and gripped it tightly.
"Ahhh。。。”Felicia moaned as her breathing quickened.
"Felicia, let go first.”Dean tilted his head. He did not dare to struggle or attack Felicia. He could only let her firmly pull his long, black curly hair.
"Hehe, huff, huff, ahhh, I can't take it anymore. It hurts.”Felicia felt more and more pain.
"Ahhh, I can't take it anymore. Felicia, let go of me, my hair is about to break. It hurts, if you don't let go, my scalp will be torn off by you.”Dean took advantage of Fey's slight loosening of her grip to struggle free from her grip. He clutched his scalding scalp and looked at the strand of hair in Felicia's hand. He shook his head helplessly.
At the same time, Dracula, who was in Demon City, was also suffering from severe pain. He had been feeling abdominal pain since a while ago, and as time passed, the pain became more and more frequent and intense.
He didn't want anyone to know that he was unwell, so he announced the end of the banquet and sent all the guests away. He also ordered Ariel to cancel his service tonight. After that, he endured the pain and pretended to be relaxed as he left everyone and returned to his bedroom.
He curled up in bed but still couldn't relieve his abdominal pain. In the end, he had no choice but to shout," C-someone, quickly, quickly go and get Wenjing for me.”
The guard found Wen Jing and pushed the door open, only to see Dracula lying on the ground. "M-Master, what's wrong?”
Wen Jing helped Dracula up and helped him to the bed. "Ah, master, why did you change back?”
Dracula clutched his stomach and gritted his teeth as he answered Wen Jing with difficulty," I-I didn't want to change back. I-It was him who changed back. O-Old man, my tummy hurts." Hehehehe…"
"Master, did you accidentally drink human blood?”
"I-ah, I didn't. Besides, even if I drank human blood, it wouldn't hurt so much. Wuwu..." Dracula's brows were tightly furrowed, and sweat was pouring down his forehead.
"Then how did this happen?" Wen Jing looked at Dracula, who was sweating profusely and had a pained expression, and felt that he had no idea where to start.
"Logically speaking, vampires don't get sick. You're not poisoned either. Master, have you ever had a similar experience before?”
Dracula frowned and smoothed the strands of golden hair that were stuck to his face by sweat." I-I remember that I had abdominal pain when Sonya gave birth to Dean. But, but what was going on now?”Dracula and Wen Jing looked at each other in confusion.
The long night ended. With the loud cries of a baby, the baby was finally born.
"Ah, ah, it's finally out. It's a boy.”Dean said excitedly. "What about Felicia now?"
"Cut the umbilical cord with scissors and wash the child with water.”Felicia answered weakly.
"Ah, I forgot to find scissors. What should we do?" Dean paced around in circles.
"Then use your sword.”
" Oh." Dean's hands trembled as he did this sacred thing. He felt even more tired than killing vampires.
"Ah, he's so beautiful." Felicia took the child from Dean.
"This child looks exactly like his father, Dracula.”Felicia said with a smile.
Dean leaned forward and carefully observed the boy. He had curved eyebrows, long and thin eyelashes, eyes as green as hers, a tall nose, a small mouth, and a head of soft, fluffy blond hair.
This child looked too delicate, almost like a girl. How did he resemble that bastard Dracula? Alas, poor Felicia had been deceived and kept in the dark. Dean could not help but sympathize with Felicia.
"Dean." Felicia looked at him and said,"Since you saved us, can you give this child a name?"”
"Me?" Dean pointed at himself.
"T-alright then, um...。。”Dean thought for a while and said,"Let's call him Aruka."”
"Aruba? What a strange name. Why did he give it such a name?”Felicia asked curiously.
"If you spell Dracula's name backwards, it's Arruga. He did this to his people and you. I want little Aruda to rebel against him when he grows up.”
"You want him to rebel against his father?" Felicia said in surprise.
"Yeah, I'll teach him, and he'll be as good a bounty hunter as I am.”Dean said proudly.
Felicia recalled the scene at the foot of the mountain. "Yes, we should teach that heartless person a lesson.”Felicia said angrily and sadly.
"Alright, then you'll be called Aruba from now on, my little baby.”She held the child in her arms and gently caressed his little face.
"Wahhh." Suddenly, the child began to cry violently.
"Oh, what's wrong with this child?”Felicia said anxiously as she coaxed him.
"Is he hungry?" Dean bent over and looked at little Arruda.
"Wahhh." The child's cries became more and more shrill. Suddenly, he stopped crying and his hands and feet stopped moving.
At the same time, Dracula's abdominal pain in the Demon City was as sudden as it had been when it had first appeared. It had completely healed in an instant. There was a moment when Dracula had been in so much pain that he had wished he could just die, but now, he could not feel anything other than his drenched clothes.
"M-Master, are you alright? Are you alright?”Wen Jing held Dracula's hand and asked with concern.
"It's alright now." Dracula took a deep breath and said.
"Then, then why are you still crying?”Wen Jing asked in confusion.
"Tears? I didn't…" Dracula touched his eyes with his hand. There was really wet liquid. What was going on? Dracula suddenly felt very sad, as if something very important was leaving him.
"Xiao Wenjing." Dracula kept crying." W-why do I feel like I've lost something important? I-I'm so sad.”
He grabbed Wen Jing and said," Could it be? Could it be that something happened to Dean? Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a heart-wrenching pain. No, I have to find him."”
Dracula quickly walked out of the house. Wen Jing hurriedly stopped him." Master, don't tell me you want to go out now. It's daytime now. You, you'll be burned to ashes by the sun."”
"Wenjing, don't stop me. I can't care so much anymore. Dean is the only family I have in this world. I definitely don't want to lose another family member. I-I can't take it. I'd rather die from the sun than have anyone leave me.”
Dracula ignored Wen Jing's resistance and pushed him away, preparing to open the door. The sweet scent of lilies assailed his nostrils, and Dracula felt all his strength being sucked away. His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and waves of sleepiness swept over him.
"This, this intoxicating fragrance, Xiao Wenjing, why?。。。。。”Dracula fainted on the ground.
"I'm sorry, Master, this was left behind by Harvey from the Demon Hunters Association. I definitely can't let you die.。。。。。”
"Ah, what's wrong with my child?”Felicia was trembling as she hugged Aruba. Little Aruya's face turned pale, and his lips turned purple.
"W-what's going on? Dean, hurry up and save him!”Felicia's tears flowed out.
"Give me the child." Dean took the child and observed it carefully.
Oh my god, the child was not breathing. He quickly put his ear on little Aruya's chest. Thump, thump, thump. This heartbeat was too familiar. Such a slow heartbeat was not human at all. This, this child's heartbeat was too similar to his.
"He, he's not human! He was a hybrid of a human and a vampire.”Dean was so surprised that he could not help but say loudly.
"He's Dracula's child, of course he's mixed-blood.”Felicia asked anxiously," How is it? Quickly think of a way to save him."”
Looks like Felicia really did encounter a vampire, but he used my old man's name. What should I do now? Dean looked at the baby in his arms.
The poor little darling was already purple all over. He lay limply in Dean's arms. Her slow heartbeat almost disappeared. Since he's the same as me, then I can only try this method. Dean placed one hand on his chest and slowly transferred his spiritual power into little Aruba's body.
Unexpectedly, when his spiritual power entered little Aruya's body, it was as if he had returned to his own home. It smoothly integrated into little Aruya's body. His heart, which had stopped, began to beat slowly again, and his breathing began to catch up. This child is too magical. Why do I feel so close to him? He gives me the feeling of family. It must be because I personally welcomed him into this world.
"Alright, he's fine for the time being. However, this baby's physique is very weak. I'm afraid that the scene just now will happen again. Moreover, he will often fall sick. It seems that I can't leave him for the time being.”
Dean returned the child to Felicia and comforted her." But don't worry. I'll be watching him from the side. I won't let anything happen to him.”
Felicia took the child and kissed his little face, saying," It's all my fault. I was injured when he was in my stomach. I didn't listen to advice and rushed to give birth. In the end, I lost control of my emotions and gave birth prematurely. That's why Aruba became like this. I-I'm really an irresponsible mother.”
"The most irresponsible one is the child's father. This bastard asked me to find him, so I will beat him up. Felicia, don't be too sad. I will never let anything happen to little Arruda.”Dean kept comforting Felicia.
"Ah, oh my god, Dean, quickly open the window.”
Dean quickly opened the window." What's wrong?”He asked in confusion.
"H-how is this possible?" Felicia kept stroking little Aluka's hair." H-his hair.。。。。。”Dean went closer to take a look.
"What's going on? Why did this child's hair turn silver-white? I clearly saw pure gold hair last night.”Dean said with a puzzled expression.
"I didn't see wrongly, I really didn't see wrongly. It must have been because I suffocated for too long just now, that's why it became like this. My child, my poor child, you were abandoned by your father when you were born, and now your hair is white. I-I'm such a useless mother.”Felicia said with tears streaming down her face.
"Felicia, don't be so agitated. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet.”Dean sat beside Felicia and patted her shoulder."Actually, little Arruda has silver-white hair. This hair color is very unique. I know a person with silver-white hair. His hair is very beautiful and not ugly at all.”
"You're telling the truth. You're not lying to me.”Felicia said as she wiped her tears.
"Of course. Why would I lie to you?" Dean's green eyes shone with sincerity.
"That's true. Silver hair isn't bad either.”Felicia stopped crying.
"Alright, you and the child are tired. You should rest well.”Dean helped Felicia lie down slowly.
"What about you?" Felicia asked.
"Don't worry, I won't leave the child. I'll take care of him and won't let anything happen to him.”Felicia finally fell asleep after a tiring night.。。。。。
