"Anyway, what are you doing here, grandma?" Jane asked with a smile on her face.

  SIGH!

  "I was supposed to return last night for the new year's eve, but there was a strange disturbance in the cosmos. I couldn't use my teleportation ability for some reason, so I had to fly all the way here," she groaned.

  "No wonder."

  "I know, right!" She stretched her hands in the air and yawned out loud as she said, "I am so so soooo tired~ I will sleep for a few weeks now."

  "You can't do that. There are still six days left for the red moon to pass. You must celebrate with us," Jane said with a judging look on her face.

  "Oh, my." She licked her lips and shot a seductive glance at Rudy before saying, "Are you inviting me for a threesome? Sure, I don't mind."

  'What's wrong with this woman? How can she say stuff like that with such a straight face? Not to mention, in front of her own granddaughter,' Rudy uttered inwardly.

  "Threesum? What does that mean?" Jane asked curiously.

  "Hmm?" The woman held Jane's face in her hands and caressed her cheeks before saying, "Oh, my sweet child. You don't know what that means?"

  "No…"

  "Threesome means…." She whispered something into Jane's ear.

  'Stop! Only I am allowed to corrupt my innocent Jane!' Rudy tried to stop them, but it was already too late.

  The woman glanced at Rudy from the corner of her eyes and smirked.

  "You are a bold one, just as I like them," she said while licking her lips.

  Jane's mind had stopped working after what she had just learned.

  "No!" She pulled Rudy close to her and said, "He only belongs to Rias and me. You are not allowed to touch him?"

  "Hmm? Is that how you are supposed to talk to your great-grandmother?" She raised her brow and uttered, "And I have a right to ensure whether a man can satisfy my granddaughters or not."

  "He can! He is like a beast in heat!"

  "According to you, only, though. And I bet it was your first time, so you have zero knowledge when it comes to pleasuring the man. But I wouldn't mind teaching you, you know? You are my favorite among all my sons, daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren."

  'She is good at convincing people, I give her that. But there is no way Jane would agree to something like that. She might not be a yandere as I claimed her to be, but she still gives off a possessive vibe.'

  "Is that… true…?" Jane asked reluctantly.

  "Yes. Don't you want your man to feel good too? You can't be selfish and feel good by yourself, you know? Otherwise, he would leave you and love Glorias more."

  Rudy facepalmed himself and muttered, "If anything I have learned from spending time with Jane is that she is easily gullible."

  "I will learn everything on my own. I don't need your help, nor do I want you to ever go near him!" Jane said to the woman.

  The woman clicked her tongue and said, "You know I always like to break the rules. So the more you try to keep him for yourself, the harder I will try to lay my hands on him."

  Jane glared at her and said, "I will hate you forever if you do that, grandma Nyxia."

  "Come on~ You are no fun~" Nyxia groaned out loud and let out a weary sigh before muttering, "I am leaving."

  "You better keep your promise!"

  Nyxia shrugged her shoulders and said, "I never promised anything. Even more, why should I care if you hate me or not? I am the Mad Queen Nyxia, everyone fears me, and they live on my mercy."

  "You can't pull your ace card into this conversation!" Jane stomped her legs on the ground like a child and said, "You have changed so much over the past few years!"

  "I haven't changed, my cursed child. You have just become mature enough to understand the cruelty of this world or any world," she uttered in a low voice.

  "Well, whatever. I need to talk with Virgil, so I am going to the palace. If the grandmaster comes back, tell him that he is summoned to the palace by me."

  "Ummm…. Grandma…" Jane called out to her with an anxious look on her face.

  "Hmm?" Nyxia turned around with an amused look on her face and asked, "What's wrong, my cursed child?"

  "I… I want your… blessings…." she muttered.

  Nyxia stared at Jane for a few seconds before saying, "Not now, dear Jane. You will be blessed at the same time as Glorias, and we will see who becomes the next Vampire Queen of this kingdom."

  "I…… understand."

  "But don't worry. I won't let you or Glorias suffer anymore. If fate wills it, I shall show them the wrath of the Mad Queen," she asserted in a solemn voice. "Once again."

  After saying that, she left the grandmaster's office, leaving Jane and Rudy alone.

  "……"

  They glanced at each other but didn't say anything. But sooner or later, either of them had to speak, or the mood would get awkward. So Rudy took a deep breath and said:

  "I can't believe she was your great-grandmother. She had no manners, and…."

  Rudy soon realized that mentioning Nyxia was the wrong choice.

  Jane squinted her eyes and glared at Rudy with a judging look on her face.

  "You didn't seem to mind it when she was saying all that stuff. Could it be that you were actually looking forward to it?"

  "Of course not." He scoffed jokingly and continued, "I have you and Rias. And besides, she was surely joking, right? There is no way she was serious about all that."

  "She was simply trying to tease you since your reactions are cute. That's all," he said while nodding.

  However, he himself wasn't sure, but he believed he was.

  "You don't know her…" Jane muttered under her breath. "She always gets what she wants."
