Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System
chapter-349

Though Vincent isn't someone who likes to bathe in luxury, but more of a retired veteran, he as noble of the founding families and one of the main pillars if not the main one of the Clear Water kingdom, had to keep up a certain standard.

And so his personal mansion which was the mansion of the city lord, was the heart of the Warhammer city, a huge imposing building which outstood among all the other constructions of a whole city.

Not only from the outside but on the inside too, everything was made out of relatively high ranked materials, while remaining simple but appealing to the eye, what caught Daimon's attention the most were the war trophies displayed on the walls.

Bones from magic beasts whose aura could still be felt after their death, ignoring the pass of the time, some broken tridents and symbolic pieces of different ships that represented the history of Vincent, it was quite incredible.

'The history of an Emperor ranked is quite something', thought Daimon.

'That is nothing, young master one day will have planets as war trophies, I will personally bring the most remarkable beauties of all the races to young master's chambers!', exclaimed the bone general.

Daimon inwardly chuckled, he was still really far from that, his feet were quite firm on the ground, as he knew everything he has known is still the beginning of the path, even in Neptune were there are Emperor ranks, they are considered the top.

But Dimas confirmed to be part of the young generation of his native place and he is also an Emperor ranked magic beast, so there was a wider universe out there waiting to be discovered, though he wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not.

Soon the Trident Marshal guided them through the large magnificent halls of his castle until they reached the left wing of the castle, which was assigned to the guests, there were countless of doors each one representing a large room.

"Feel free to chose whichever room you'll like to use, each one has its own private bathroom, a large bed and a little meditation room, lunch will be served in 45 minutes and one of my subordinates will come to guide you there, that's all", said Vincent, habits die hard and so he still kept some of the manners of when he was in the barracks of the army, meaning he talked and followed a very precise discipline.

"Ahem, everyone please refresh yourselves and see you for the lunch, Mellie come with big sister, it's been a while since we bathed together~", the queen was more relaxed, and her hands were pretty sneaky as she dragged Mellie along with her to one of the many rooms.

Annete's attitude helped others relax and feel more comfortable, the Valas Duchess stole a gaze at Daimon but didn't say anything before she and Daphne went to their own rooms.

"We'll also take our leave old Trident, I have some things to discuss with my granddaughter", said Aurora before she and Jasmine left to their room, not without Jasmine nodding at Daimon.

"This Empress has heard a lot about the food of the Mermen Sea, I hope it's not a disappointment", said Thea, then with a snap of her fingers she became a flash of black light which disappeared into the doors of one of the rooms.

Karmandi and the other snake generals had shrank to be about eight meters of size, and they slightly bowed their heads at Vincent before they took a room right next to the Black Empress.

And now only the Trident Marshal, Daimon and the girls were left.

"This old man had seen a lot of things in his life, and yet it's the first time I see the beasts from the Maelstrom Sea act so friendly with us, kid your performance in front of the Blackfin Duke was impressive, I have only seen little Annete manage so calmly when dealing with those old foxes", said the Trident Marshal as he stroked his large beard.

Daimon chuckled in response.

"I wasn't lying so there was no need to be nervous, but I indeed had a good mentor when I was younger, so politics are nothing to fret".

The Trident Marshal couldn't help but fell more approbative about this silver haired youth with each second that passed, but that's why he wanted to clear some doubts.

"This old man will take his leave; in public I have to be the Trident Marshal but… I'm still Mellie's relative and so I thank you for bringing her back safe and sound", said the old man before he left.

Daimon stood there with a contemplative expression for a moment, before he turned to see the girls, Aisha was obviously going to stay in the same room as him, but he was surprised that the three sisters didn't move and inch.

Aisha of course didn't miss the chance to tease her friends and her son too.

"Don't make girls say embarrassing things "Gabriel", of course they will stay with us~".

The Risha sister's faces reddened but they didn't deny it, instead their pretty eyes looked at Daimon expectantly, it would be a lie to say they weren't afraid when they were attacked by Sting, just like the others they were suffocated by his aura, but then they felt a warm sensation on their chests, and a familiar feeling flooded their bodies.

The mana Daimon gave to them, helped them overcome their fear and not only that, when they needed him the most he stood in front on them, once again they were protected while looking at his wide strong back.

Their little maiden hearts couldn't help but skip a beat, they have been courted by the guys of the Gladius, Ascott and Grayer families, and sentences such as "I'll take care of you forever" or "I'll protect you with my life on the line" were a recurrent thing every time they were forced to meet the young generation of those families at their own home, but words are cheap, when the three young masters of their families showed their interest in "owning" them, as they had no romantic feelings for the sisters, but they were just infatuated by their beauty, all those suitors parted ways and never dared to say a word, not like the sisters expected anything from them, but it was still a dose of reality which wasn't needed for such good girls who should have been able to enjoy their childhood.

Needless to say but their experiences with men were really poor and so it was hard for them to ever trust on them, until one day they met a certain "irregularity", someone whose reputation was as bad as possible but when they got to meet him in person, they realized rumors aren't trustworthy.

Even when they have shown clearly they are interested in him, he still hasn't said the words that they want to hear, but from the very beginning his actions have talked by themselves.

Without knowing they actually helped Daimon change a lot in such a short period of time, he who never expected to be able to trust in people outside from his soulmates, now had dear friends that cared about him, the sisters opened a small space in the armor that had restrained his heart, that's why Aisha was so receptive with them, what mother wouldn't want such good girls for their son after all.

Daimon smiled and then walked towards the door, he turned his head as he opened it before saying.

"What are you waiting, you three".

The girls sweety smiled and then entered the room followed by Aisha who winked at her son, Daimon shook his head in response.

'I can't beat you at all mom', he thought as he closed the door behind him.

"You can take a bath first, ladies, I want to rest a bit", said Daimon as he collapsed on the bed, in public he refused to show any sign of weakness, but after using Core Synchrony for a second time in such a short period of time and using mana this time, his stamina reserves were near 10%, and he had already used "sanctuary", also he has received the help of Jasmine's Silver Citadel, his stamina has gone up and down too much, he needed a proper rest and a meal to recover naturally.

Aisha's eyes were filled with tender love as she sat on the bed, she took his mask and shoes and accommodated Daimon to use her lap as a pillow while she gently caressed his hair.

"You go ahead, we'll go later~", mumbled Aisha while she comforted Daimon's tired body.

The sisters pouted, but then their faces reddened, they weren't ready to share a bath with Daimon, but for Aisha it was a normal thing so she was the right choice… for now.

"W-We won't lose", said the three before they ran like scared rabbits to the bathroom, leaving an amused Aisha with slightly cunning smile.

"I'm counting with that~", she mumbled before she kissed Daimon's forehead.

….

Once Daimon closed his eyes he felt his senses abandoning him and he knew he overdid again, but to be honest he went through a lot during the beast hunt, then he realized how weird it was that he was "conscious" in his sleep.

"Isn't this…", Daimon found himself surrounded by a limitless sea, a dream he has had before.

"Now that I think about it, I had this dream even prior to having obtained the Black Armored Shark lineage, so it's not caused by that, as always there is nothing here", mumbled Daimon as he walked on the water, no matter how much he extended his mana sense or his field of vision with his infinity eyes, there were no other living beings, even underwater there were no vegetation, it was more like a giant artificial lake than a sea.

"Crystals…".

Daimon suddenly heard an unknown voice coming from all everywhere, but he was then brought back to reality in a split of a second, the next thing he saw was Aisha's pretty face a few centimeters away from him.

"It's our turn to bath darling", she whispered at him.

Daimon nodded, still confused about the dream he just had.

"Let's go", he said while he inwardly talked to Evangeline.

'Eve, did you see what happened when I was asleep?', he asked.

'Mm, yes I did notice your mind activity was different'.

'What was that, I normally straight up rest or dream with the soulmates, but that dream has repeated twice'.

"…"

Evangeline remained silent for a moment before saying with a rare apologetic voice.

'You know I can't say some things until you have caught the gist of it, this falls in that category, sorry, I wish I could help you more, but it would be against the rules as it isn't directly related to the system'.

Daimon was surprised to hear the normally cheeky Evangeline speaking in an apologetic voice, maybe she was feeling left behind as she was limited by the system, while the other girls were walking side by side with Daimon, even those who weren't soulmates had grown along with Daimon while she could only see.

Daimon's eyes glowed for a split of a second, without Evangeline realizing she did narrow his options, if it isn't directly related to the system, then it isn't any of his lineages, nor the missions he has currently accepted and that left very few options, and all were magic treasures, Disaster, the pendant Annete handed him and the sea and demon emblems he has in his inventory.

Things that could use crystalized energy only.

Daimon came out of his daze when he saw the three sisters coming out of the bath looking really fresh and pretty, they weren't using their disguises and were only wearing light clothes shorts and loose shirts.

Their hairs were still glistening due to the remaining humidity that they were about to dry off with the help of the other, it was a cute sight to behold.

The sisters noticed Daimon gazing at him and they blushed as they sat on the bed to dry each other's hair, Aisha giggled and then dragged Daimon to the bath, they only had about twenty minutes left so it was going to be quick but she could still have some fun.
