“What’s wrong?”
Since deciding to stop by the village, Milim had been acting strange. She grabbed onto my arm as if hiding behind me and refused to walk straight.
“Well… um…” she said.
Milim grabbed onto my arm tightly and still wouldn’t walk in front of me. It was cute, but I needed to follow up.
“What’s wrong… is there something going on?” I asked.
I stopped walking, I turned to hear what Milim had to say. She began to speak softly, words spilling out one by one.
“Um… you know? I used quite a flashy spell back there, didn’t I?”
I remembered the battle scene. I recalled Milim fighting the dragon zombie with magic, on an equal footing or even better.
“Certainly…?”
“If someone saw me, they might figure out who or what I am…”
Well, I didn’t think you’d think of anyone as a mere human when they are flying and throwing magic at a dragon zombie, but I couldn’t say anything, given my own unusual circumstances.
“That’s why… it’s scary…”
‘It’s scary… huh.’
“Hey, Milim.”
“Yeah?”
“Would you mind telling me what happened with humans? What happened between them and you?”
Milim doesn’t hate humans, but she does have a sense of unease around them. But she doesn’t dislike or view all humans as enemies. In fact, she had risked her life to protect me just a little while ago.
I kind of understood that she doesn’t fear individual humans as entities, just humans as an unseen collective.
I wanted to know the reason for that.
“Is it okay to tell me?”
“…Sure. It’s fine if it’s you,” she said, and began to tell me her story.
“I’m a Vampire Lord. I was born the only daughter of the royal family.”
‘The only daughter, huh.’
“When I was born, humans were at the peak of their vampire hunting craze. The people who hunted vampires came to our country, too.”
‘I see… Wait, didn’t she say earlier that no one she knew around her had been a victim?’
“Didn’t you say that no one around you was a victim?”
“To be precise, the situation wasn’t such that I could recognize anyone as being around me,” she said.
‘I see… But her real parents would have been victims, right?’
I was thinking about that, and Milim gave me a mischievous grin and said, “Hehe. My parents are still alive, you know?”
“Is that so!?”
