Reincarnated into a New World As a Vampire

"I am currently carrying out a mission for the cult, one of large scale involving other Dames, but I was put to handle the most important aspect." She said.

\'I see, her knowledge and smarts are not limited only to magic then.\' Aldritch thought to himself. After all, if she wasn\'t the strongest, then it meant her brains was what got her chosen to carry out the important aspect of their plan.

"Our plan is to take over the Bamana Kingdom, that is why I am here in the capital. As for the man who stands as my husband, he is only a pawn in my plan." She said with no remorse.

(A/N: Forgive me if I had mentioned a kingdom or empire name before, I have completely forgotten, so let\'s go with this one)

"I see, so he too is a slave?"

"Yes, but he doesn\'t know that exactly."

"I see. It makes sense. It did sound strange that a background character like that would suddenly find some goldmine and claim inheritance without the greedy nobles trying to see it from him. He would have never even made it this far before other merchants plucked it from his hands." Aldritch said, understanding more what the situation was.

"You are exactly correct, my lord.

Even though I have this power to enslave people, the nobles are too cautious and cunning, enslaving one would be too much work and the risks are tremendously high since they have some rogue witches in their camp that are at least as strong as the primordial Dames, like the former primordial red who betrayed the cult, giving room for the current one to assume that role.

There is also the fact that this operation is not to be rushed and is to be carried out meticulously so that nothing goes wrong, so I am not eager to take the faster route.

My plan is to infiltrate into the noble ranks and eventually the royalty, creating a clear path for me to take over the kingdom. I\'ve been at it for a couple of years, and looking at the progress so far, I\'d say this would take at least three to four more years."

"Hmm, that is not a bad time frame at all. Go on."

"Ah, ye-yes.

The simple plan is to play it off as anyone would, infiltrate into the noble houses and control them from within. I\'ve managed to do so with some of my slaves, but it is proving to be difficult by the day as they are being found out. Luckily, all the blame is pushed towards the Red gate Order."

"Hmm, I see. Before anything, can you get me something paletable? Maybe an apple, my mouth is getting dry." Aldritch said, to which Lada waved her hand over the other, and a plate appeared. On the second and third wave, an apple appeared in the plate and then she served it to Aldritch who was astonished at what she just did, even though he remained neutral in expression.

\'Wow, I guess I would have lost if she went all out.\' Thinking of it, Aldritch pulled out his system again to check her loyalty, see the figure, Aldritch suddenly felt that it really wasn\'t enough in the slightest. \'She could kill me at any time, I need to do more.\'

"What does the cult plan to do after taking over the kingdom? Surely, they don\'t really need this."

"You are right, my lord. Not many know, but my master…I mean, the primordial red, shared with me some of it. After this kingdom is captured, all its people will be used as manpower to conquer all the neighbouring kingdoms, and the people of those kingdoms will be used as sacrifice. As for what the sacrifice is, I am not sure, I wasn\'t told." She explained.

"Hmm…"

\'Taking over the kingdom from the shadows, such a nice way to do things, not everything is acquired through brute strength.\'

"Listen carefully to my plan, it\'ll be very important."

…

After talking for a while more, Aldritch asked Lada to accommodate Lina and Olgud. As for blood, Lada wouldn\'t have to learn to hunt, she was undoubtedly more experienced at these sorts of things compared to Aldritch, better than she knows.

Aldritch had some intention of turning some of her servants into vampires, but he decided against it. They were skilled enough already and slaves under a witch, and since this witch happened to be under him, that means that they too are his slaves, it was fine that way.

Lada woke Misa up quickly; she wasn\'t dead but just knocked out. After she was up, Lada made her clean the plan and handle the bodies of the two that were killed by Aldritch.

Instead of his original plan, Aldritch spent the rest of the night touring around the underground base beneath the huge mansion. He also made sure to discipline Lada well for forgetting her master and trying to turn him into a slave. If anything, he found out that Lada was a woman that liked to be dominated in more aggressive ways.

The night passed quickly, and once morning came, Aldritch headed for the academy while being accompanied by one of Lada\'s slaves who was posing as a student of the academy to act as a spy.

He could have waited for Gavik, but Lada assured him that he would not be coming, since she took extra measures to make sure he was going to be too exhausted after being active all night. In the end it makes any difference, it was still a slave who would take him to the academy.
