Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System-Novel

Normally Daimon's biological clock would have waken him up early, he is the one that decides to remain in the bed resting with the Aisha and the others, but this time he was legitimately sleeping, as the hours passed, the girls in starting waking up one by one.

Starting from Aisha who looked at her son's sleeping face with tender lovely eyes, she then felt a couple of gazes on her and she giggled.

The sisters were awake now and they were intensely looking at them, of course how could not Aisha tease her friends a bit, she tightened her embrace on Daimon, while she cutely stuck her tongue at them, which made the sisters pout.

"Aisha is too cruel sometimes", mumbled Leslie.

"As one would expect from Daimon's older sister", added Yvonne.

"Mm", Liliana limited to nod.

But then the three of them as well as Aisha softly laughed, it was a good way to start a day, especially after having seen some of the darkness that lingers in this kingdom, the previous night.

The princesses were the next ones to wake up, they did just in time to see that strange though fun scene between Aisha and the sisters, they also stole a gaze at Daimon whose normally serious expression was nowhere to be seen.

"Woah, he looks so different when he is sleeping, I can believe he is younger than us this way", mumbled Mellie.

They weren't just making things up, Daimon wasn't originally someone to externally express his emotions, a bad habit he developed back at earth, because his scumbag of a father would beat him up even more if he complained or showed any hatred towards him.

It was thanks to Aisha that he returned to act more human-like, which is pretty ironic considering she isn't human but a vampire, after that Erin, Aura, Liz and Elaine were the ones that slowly worked to help him recover from the trauma he developed due to Aisha dying.

It's not like they just wanted to fool around all the time with him, well maybe it was Erin's case, leaving aside their training, they took the duty to bathe Daimon in love, to heal his wounded heart, only then they noticed he finally started showing such a peaceful expression on his face when he slept, because before even sleeping he had a frightened face as if he was afraid they would disappear during the night or something like that.

That is also why Aisha supported the sisters feelings for him, because they also had a positive effect on him, they and the other members of the elite class, helped her son improve more, he now not only had them, he had friends too, something she as her mother honestly didn't think would be possible, she wanted him to join the academy for that same reason, so that Daimon would be able to experience a "normal" life.

"Mm, you are right little princess, he does indeed look less fierce than normal, I still can't decipher what's his race though".

Before anyone could react a black flash suddenly appeared next to Daimon's bed, before the pretty finger of Thea poked Daimon's sleeping face a couple of times, making the sisters speechless.

Aisha didn't stop her though and soon not only Thea, but the sisters and the princesses were surrounding Daimon and casually chatting while looking at him, the only one who didn't join was Marlene who was snoring in her sleep.

Daimon's eyebrow twitched, his eyes opened and the first thing he saw were all of them piking his face.

"Good morning, ladies… care to explain what is going on?", he slowly asked.

"…", they all retrieved their fingers and simply feigned ignorance as they returned to their beds or went to the bath to change, the only one who stayed behind was Aisha who sweetly smiled at him.

"Good morning, don't pay it attention we were just having a "girls conversation", more importantly according to Rita, the queen as well as the others had returned to the mansion".

Daimon decided to leave it at that, they had a lot discuss with Annete and the other adults, also if what he saw in that dream was related to what will be happening in a week, then he needed to get a hold of the treasure the queen extorted out of the Blackfin Duke, since he discovered a way to use it with Blacktooth which probably no one has ever thought about.

"Speaking of them", Daimon said when he heard someone knocking on the door, Thea who was near opened it.

"Good morning, come to join us for breakfast", Annete who at the other side of the door, saw the untidied appearance of Thea, as well as the slight alcohol scent coming from her, the bed in which an unknown girl was laying down and Aisha clinging to Daimon and she raised an eyebrow, the Valas Duchess was who was accompanying her was the same.

"I didn't know you had such hobbies Thea…" jokingly said the queen, to which the Empress softly snorted.

"We were attacked yesterday, I'll let my newly appointed "general" tell you the details at breakfast though~", said Thea putting a lot on emphasis on the word general, Thea then grabbed Marlene from her left leg and then they both disappeared, she already told Aisha she would meet them at the dining room, as she had some things to discuss with Karmandi and Lina, she took Marlene with her so she wouldn't be a bother for them as well.

Daimon turned to see the queen who had the words "Explain what happened" written all over her face and he chuckled.

"It's a long story, I'll tell you all what happened at the dining room, Mellie, the first princess and Jasmine also want to see you, the Duchess and Senior Aurora first".

The princesses came out of the bathroom as Daimon mentioned them and the queen nodded.

"Fine, take a moment to prepare and I'll see you at breakfast", she said, the princesses left the room following the queen and the Valas Duchess.

Seeing the sisters going to the bathroom to take a shower, Aisha also got up from the bed and followed them.

'I'll join these three today darling, because if I go in with you, we'll end up arriving late~', said Aisha through the mental connection.

…

Once the girls finished Daimon took a quick shower and then they left the room, this time there was no guard to guide them though, so they just went to the dinning room, where everyone but Jasmine and her grandmother were already waiting for them.

It didn't escape Daimon's eyes that the Trident Marshal seemed to be a bit down, but he didn't say anything about it and just took a seat, the sisters and Aisha sat at his sides, apparently today was Liliana's time to get the seat right next to him.

"So, I heard you had quite a wild night, Daimon?", asked the Trident Marshal, ignoring the old man's vague way to describe it, which was probably caused by Annete telling him what she saw earlier, Daimon answered.

"Yeah, pretty much not to my liking… because we were attacked right at my door, well more accurately I was attacked".

Both Vincent and the queen frowned, for different things though, Annete knew there was something weird ongoing in the castle, but she thought the targets were Mellie and the other princesses, not Daimon, as for Vincent his pride suffered a blow after hearing that someone in his mansion was a traitor.

Annete saw the reaction of her uncle and she sighed, this is precisely the reason as to why she didn't tell him about it, besides leaving Daimon to handle the matter in order to get a reward from the Minister of Development of course.

"Don't let it get to you uncle, don't forget what Daimon told us, the bastard who is behind of this likes to play with our weaknesses and fears, if we let it affect us it will be our end".

Vincent's eyes glowed, his body trembled for a couple of seconds and blue particles of mana leaked out of his body, but ultimately, he gritted his teeth and calmed down.

"Sorry, this old man has shown you something unsightly, please tell us what happened while we were gone".

'Uncle's newest batch of recruits was… massacred yesterday at night, all of them were younger than Mellie and all of them were found death in a cave at the forest where they were patrolling', said the queen directly to Daimon.

Daimon nodded, at the same time Jasmine and Aurora arrived so that now everyone was here, Thea brought Marlene with her and true to her words, she didn't present her to the others, since she assigned that task to Daimon.

The atmosphere in the dining room was a bit dense, apparently Aurora also had something happening to her yesterday, but she remained silent and waited for Daimon to talk so he did.

For the next twenty minutes or so, Daimon proceeded to tell them everything what happened, from the moment Daimon was attacked by to them going all the way to the towns at the borders of the continent with Thea's help.

The things related to Black Wave, the female assassin that apparently had deeper connections than what they thought, the comments he heard from the loose lips of the black sheep that frequented Blaktr.

And last but probably the most important, the fact that there was some kind of creature faking to be the shadow of the Blackfin Duke, while the real guy was dead and his corpse was inside of the ring Daimon confiscated.

He even told them about the dream he had of course making it sound as if the emblem was what caused it, without mentioning anything about the system, if there was another system user, they were safer not knowing about it, since they already knew how to "deal" with them, in other words traps or ambushes as that was written in the notes Vincent and Aurora compiled about the hero and the ancestor of the Light Palace sect.

Lastly Daimon mentioned that Marlene ended up being dragged into the picture and since she was going to join them, he introduced her as the captain of the Silver Dawn pirates and the last member of the royal branch of the angel fish clan.

To Daimon's surprise, Vincent didn't look too shocked after listening that there was a member of a supposedly extinct family branch of a race of which there is already a really scarce number.

Still the Trident Marshal evaluated Marlene from head to toe as if he wanted to confirm something before saying.

"To think this old man would get to see a second royal from the angel fish clan in his lifetime, I guess my luck isn't that bad".

Marlene immediately frowned upon hearing the Trident Marshal's words.

"A second, that's impossible, there hasn't been another royal since our clan escaped to the Maelstrom Sea, unless…", Marlene's eyes narrowed as Vincent nodded.

"I was still a teenager working as a guard at the royal castle back then, but I did manage to see her, the one of which the people talk, one of the lovers of the king of five generations ago, the one of which the stories talk about was also a royal from your clan".

Marlene's frown deepened, truth to be told she didn't know why she was a royal, her parents were regular members of her clan, but she was born different than them, she possesses all the records of her clan as their current ruler, and yet she didn't know another royal appeared after they were expulsed from the Mermen Sea.

"Leaving that aside, what do you think of the recent events Daimon, is this all that guy's doing?", asked the Trident Marshal.

He wasn't old for nothing, naturally he could tell there were a couple of details Daimon didn't mention, but just as he stated, since Annete has decided to trust in him her most precious material property, the necklace left to her by her mother, he would never doubt about him again.

So, he asked for what his deduction about all this was, knowing he would then give a full answer, taking into consideration what he could and couldn't directly tell them, Daimon wasn't Erin's disciple in politics and strategy only to show as well, he could tell what the old veteran wanted.

"My conclusion is that there isn't just one guy playing behind the scenes, the ones which I have angered don't have a reason to kill me yet, they probably are thinking on a way to "put me in my place", my direct suspect was the Blackfin Duke, but that theory died along with his subordinate, that idiot was used, though he probably has had deals with them, so he is still in the list".

"In my opinion, the next course of actions should be taking measures to avoid the kingdom being taken over by the guy behind the pirates and the Skelefiends, Black Wave was the bigger variant here but since Pablo is my subordinate now, I can easily deal with them know, miss Annete needs to tighten he leash on those stupid nobles who are wavering".

Annete clapped, with the little information they had, Daimon's idea was the best outcome.

"Ah right, I need the treasure handed by the Blackfin Duke now, I will be doing some experiments during the day", added Daimon.

Vincent nodded, with everything that has happened he personally went for the thing Daimon was promised, since it was in his office back at the barracks of the army, where he thought it was safe, until the dead of the young recruits.

Daimon then gazed at the Valas Duchess, which she of course noticed, before saying.

"There is something that has been bothering me as well, the royal family isn't doing anything, there is no way the king doesn't have an intel net of his own, so they must be aware of at least the way the middle and high ranked nobles are complaining, on the other hand it could be because their hatred seems to be focused on miss Annete, so the king doesn't care".

The Duchess shook her head.

"That man does have his intel net, and you are pretty much guessed why he ignores their attitude, as long as they respect his White family, he doesn't care, that and spending the whole day with Irma and Norma, he was quite young when he was crowned and besides fighting he never administrated a territory, if we are currently a stable place is thanks to senior Vincent and Ann's help".
