My Wives are Beautiful Demons - Chapter 276

Chapter 276: Shall we test the reinforcement?
Vergil and Sapphire walked through the silent streets of the city, the sound of their footsteps echoing on the deserted sidewalks as the night sky covered everything with a cloak of mystery. The hotel was in sight, but the way there seemed longer than usual. The atmosphere was tense, and although nothing visible was happening, there was a heavy charge in the air, a feeling that something was about to break.

Kaguya followed a step behind them, her posture impeccable, but her gaze fixed on the ground ahead, as if she wanted to isolate herself from the world around her. Vergil, with his firm, impassive steps, was the first to break the silence, glancing at Sapphire. She was slightly ahead, with a subtle smile, as if she was enjoying the mind game they were both involved in.

“Do you think Alucard was telling the truth?” Vergil asked, his voice low but charged with intent, echoing in the stillness of the night.

Sapphire glanced at him, pondering for a moment. “I don’t know. He didn’t seem to be lying, but there was something… missing. Something in the way he spoke, perhaps.” She shook her head, as if trying to organize her thoughts. “He has a very controlled presence, but there was something in his gaze, a hesitation. What do you think, Vergil?”

Vergil kept his eyes fixed on the path in front of him, but his mind was attentive, processing every word. “I feel that too. He was too careful with his words. I can’t call him a liar, but he clearly omitted something. Which, however, is what we need to find out.” He paused, casting a sidelong glance at Kaguya, who was walking silently behind them. “Do you have any idea what he’s hiding, Kaguya?”

Vergil’s words fell like pressure on Kaguya. She felt her body tighten internally, but she kept her expression unwavering, fighting not to give in. She couldn’t. She couldn’t reveal what she still didn’t fully understand about Alucard. He was too enigmatic a figure to fully unravel, and Kaguya had her reasons for keeping certain truths to herself.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Kaguya replied calmly, her voice soft but with a firmness that denoted her effort to remain serene. “My King is someone you must trust. He has no reason to hide anything that threatens you.”

Sapphire, with an amused smile, didn’t give in. “Of course. You respect him so much, don’t you? Only sometimes, too much respect can hide something even more dangerous, Kaguya.” She cast a corner glance at the vampire, noticing her silent struggle. “Could it be that you’re hiding something? Something that Alucard shared with you? Something you know but don’t want to tell us?”

Vergil moved slightly closer, his piercing eyes fixed on Kaguya. He wanted to get beyond her façade. “The truth is never hidden forever, Kaguya. If you know something we don’t, you’d better tell us. Alucard, no matter how hard he tries to keep it a secret, is not immune to the game of lies. What does he really want from us?”

Kaguya felt the heat rise in her body, as if she were being stripped bare by the intensity of Vergil’s words. They were trying to provoke her, to force her to reveal something she wasn’t ready to say. She knew she had to resist, but the pressure was intensifying. She couldn’t give in. She couldn’t reveal what she was already beginning to understand about Alucard. Not yet.

“I’m not hiding anything,” she replied, her voice now lower, almost a whisper. “I just don’t see any reason to question Alucard’s intentions. He acts as he sees fit. Everyone has their own motives. And I… I just follow.”

Sapphire let out a short, almost defiant laugh. “Yeah, but you can’t help noticing that there’s something else there. You’re afraid, Kaguya. Afraid of something you know but can’t admit, even to yourself. Isn’t that right?”

Vergil watched Kaguya more closely, his eyes scrutinizing every detail of her expression. He knew she was struggling with the pressure. He knew that something inside her wanted to explode, but she was forcing herself to maintain control. The internal struggle was almost palpable. He said nothing, just waited, a small smile forming on his lips.

Kaguya stopped walking for a moment, her eyes closing for a brief second as she struggled to hold herself together. Their pressure was almost unbearable, but she couldn’t give in. Not now. She couldn’t let them know what she knew, the truths that were still hidden, or the implications of it all. The trust Alucard had placed in her wouldn’t allow her to break that silence.

Finally, she looked straight ahead, resuming her walk without saying another word. “I have nothing to say about that,” she replied in a cold, unyielding voice, the same one she used to keep everyone at a distance. “Alucard doesn’t need to explain himself to me. I trust him, just as I trust my own choices.”

Sapphire exchanged a meaningful glance with Vergil, a mischievous smile on her lips. They knew they had touched a nerve. They knew that, no matter how hard Kaguya tried to stand her ground, there was something there that bothered her. Something she desperately wanted to hide. Something that would come out sooner or later.

When they finally arrived at the hotel, the atmosphere was still fraught with tension. The lobby was deserted, except for the soft light that illuminated the space, creating a contrast with the darkness outside. Kaguya entered without saying another word, climbing the stairs in silence, while Vergil and Sapphire exchanged a look.

Sapphire, visibly tired of the teasing, spoke bluntly: “You can go, Kaguya. We’re not in a hurry anymore. I’ll meet you another time.” She turned to the vampire, but not without a teasing tone in her voice. “Have a nice evening.”

Kaguya nodded silently, her gaze fixed and distant, before disappearing up the stairs, leaving the atmosphere heavier with her absence.

Sapphire, opening the apartment door, glanced at Vergil. “What do you think of her?”

Vergil replied with a light tone, as if he were reflecting on something irrelevant. “She’s cute.”

Sapphire arched an eyebrow, her expression becoming more tense. “That’s not what I meant…” Her murderous aura began to rise, filling the room with an almost palpable pressure.

Vergil remained calm, but his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he were touching something important. “Calm down, it’s precisely this ‘cuteness’ of hers that will make her vulnerable. Don’t you think?”

Sapphire stared at him, her expression now more focused. “So you realize…”

“Convenient, isn’t it?” Vergil continued, now with a more serious tone. “He asks for help to destroy a clan, but… he didn’t even mention the sword. And considering how she talked about it… It’s clear that she wants the sword back where it came from.”

Sapphire nodded, her eyes now more calculating, as if she were putting together a plan in her mind. “Yes… I’m beginning to understand the game behind it too.” She paused briefly, before starting to undress, her expression becoming cold and calculating. “She’s going to be betrayed.” A subtle but meaningful smile formed on her lips as her dress fell gently to the floor, revealing an uneasy confidence.

Sapphire turned to Vergil with a seductive smile on her lips, her movements slow and sensual as she slid the dress down her shoulders. The fabric slipped down her bare skin, revealing seductive curves and a slender figure. She let the dress fall to the floor, gesturing for Vergil to come closer with a finger.

“You got a little excited, didn’t you?” Vergil watched the scene with fascination, his eyes darkening with desire as he admired Sapphire’s naked body. He stepped forward, his movements feline and predatory as he walked towards her. When he reached her, he wrapped his hands around her waist, pulling her closer. “Did you enjoy the tease earlier?” he asked, smiling.

“You’ve become a much warmer man. It made me very… excited.” Sapphire arched her back, pressing her breasts against Vergil’s chest as their lips met in an intense, passionate kiss. They kissed with hunger and desire, their tongues dancing in a sensual choreography as their hands explored every inch of each other’s bodies.

Vergil ran his hands down Sapphire’s curves, caressing every inch of her soft, warm skin. He pulled her even closer, feeling the excitement growing between them. Sapphire reacted to his touch, moaning softly against Vergil’s lips as his hands roamed her muscular back.

They kissed and caressed each other for long minutes, lost in a whirlwind of desire and passion. Vergil took Sapphire into the bedroom, laying her gently on the bed. He began to take off his own clothes, revealing a toned and attractive body.

Sapphire watched him lustfully, biting her lower lip as she admired her husband…

“He said it strengthened…” Vergil said smiling… “Shall we test whether the walls have really been reinforced?” He asked.
