This is a promotional episode. Pepper stared at her sister in
shock. Were you just practicing dual
cultivation? Ruby snapped.
Pepper, stop talking nonsense. Pepper retreated.
I'm sorry but you blushed and you were acting weird.
(00:20):
Black has stepped in and used her hand to muffle Pepper.
Pepper tried to say something, but only strange sounds came out
of her mouth. Ruby scowled at her, then turned
to Lacus. Don't let her say anything.
I know, I know at the. Head of the table.
Sienna leaned close to her mother and took on a serious
tone. Mother, why did Lady Victoria
(00:41):
declare? War.
Sasha heard the name and perked up.
My aunt. What is my aunt doing?
Scath Thatch waved her off. Oh.
She proposed a game with Clan Horseman to regain Clan Folger's
Lost Count title. Sasha was shocked.
What? She never thought her selfish,
narcissistic aunt would do something like that?
She was positive she had an ulterior motive.
(01:02):
Sasha tried to make sense of thenews.
Did Clan Horseman accept? What was the bet this time?
Violet chimed in. Clan Horseman.
I've never. Heard of them?
Victor half jokingly raised his hand.
Me neither. Scathatch was nonchalant.
Victoria just wants the title ofVampire Count, and she staked
all her riches on the pursuit. Sasha twisted her head, totally
(01:25):
confused by this approach. Is.
She crazy. Her equity is absurd.
It's more than $3 trillion counting on illegal and legal
businesses. Why would she give it up for
just a title? Pepper and Lacus, realizing that
the conversation was becoming boring, decided to close their
eyes and go to sleep. They were too lazy to think
about it. Sienna sounded off with
(01:46):
authority. The.
Title of Vampire Count is very important.
Scat. Thatch nodded.
Sasha furrowed her brow. What do you mean?
Sienna played coy. Sorry, I can't say.
Only the leaders of the clan holding the.
Title of count. Can know this information?
Sasha frowned, then looked to Scathatch for answers.
Don't look at me, brat. This is something that even I
(02:10):
can't talk about. Sasha was frustrated.
She turned to Sienna. And how do you know?
About it? Sienna scoffed.
Because I took on the counts duties in my mother's place.
She raised an eyebrow. Is that allowed?
Sienna smiled. If the king approves, then yes,
it's. Allowed Victor stared across the
table and spoke directly. Staff Hatch, tell me the
(02:30):
situation of Sasha family, I want to know.
Scathatch made a stare. Why?
Victor puffed out his chest. If my wife Sasha is to be owned
by someone else because of a stupid bet made by her
thoughtless mother. He paused for a second to see if
Sasha was OK with him speaking this way.
She nodded. He continued.
Then I will slaughter the entireclan.
(02:51):
Nobody touches my wives and getsaway with them.
Scathatch liked his answer. Sasha fawned over her husband,
finally crossed her arms and grew jealous.
Maybe I'll make my mom lose a bet too.
Sienna cleared her throat. And what are you going to do if
Sasha doesn't belong to anyone and her family just lost the
count? Title.
(03:12):
Victor replied in a disinterested tone.
I won't do anything. His wives looked on, at a loss
for words. Victor explained.
If Sasha is fine, that's all that matters.
Now, if she wants to get that stupid title back, I'll support
her, and if she wants my help, I'll help her, but other than
that, I won't intervene. Sienna stifled her rage.
(03:34):
Stupid title. You're so naive, Scathatch
scanned Victor up and down. You believe in your wives.
Quite a bit, don't you? If I don't, then who will?
Scathatch nodded. I see Sasha.
Ran over and hugged him. Victor.
He didn't understand, but he didn't deny her embrace, feeling
(03:55):
small tears on his shirt. He was a little shaken.
What is it? What happened?
Nothing, she spoke, sobbing a little.
Just let me stay like this for amoment.
Victor turned his gaze to Scathatch.
Now, as I was saying, please continue.
Sienna started to butt in. Listen, brat.
(04:15):
Victor interrupted her. His eyes glowed pure red.
Shut up, you're annoying me. Sienna felt her body tremble.
She tried to say something, but her mouth wouldn't move.
Pepper noticed the frozen look on her face.
Big sister, why are you frozen like a robot?
She pinched Sienna's cheek, but her older sister wasn't moving.
Scat Thatch looked at Victor. Clan Horseman requested.
(04:39):
A game with Sasha's mother and the bet was the title of Count
Vampire Clan Horseman Bet Something very unique.
Her face twisted in disgust. They were bet a hybrid.
The whole room fell silent. Back in the human world, Lucy
and Karen were busy at work in their underground hideout.
It's a success. Lucy smiled, satisfied.
(05:01):
He was looking at an open white coffin with the symbol of the
black cross. There were several red symbols
laid along the floor. They seem to be made out of
dried blood. Yes.
All we have to do now is fill the coffin with the blood of
innocents and noble vampires. If everything goes as we
planned, we will finally become noble vampires.
(05:22):
Karen tilted her head. What did you do with the sacred
artifact inside the powerful spear?
Lucy was dismissive. I threw it in the trash.
Karen was speechless. But.
Lucy answered again. I threw it in the.
Trash Karen was stunned, Lucy explained.
The only ones who can use these artifacts are the hunters.
(05:42):
If I sold it to the witches, those whores would sell me out
in an instant, so the artifact was useless.
Therefore, as I said, I threw itin the trash.
Couldn't you? Keep the artifact or something.
Keep where? Karen didn't have an answer, but
she had more questions. Where did you throw the spear?
In Violet's territory. Karen felt a knot grow in her
(06:05):
stomach. Couldn't you throw it somewhere
else at sea or something? Lucy waved her off the.
Hunters would retrieve the spearif I did that.
They somehow managed to track that object.
You remember right? Every time we would go
somewhere, there were hunters waiting like they knew where we
were going. I threw the spear into violence
territory. If the hunters find the spear,
(06:26):
they will automatically link theincident to Clan Snow.
Karen thought to herself as she tried to gather the right words.
I think you made a stupid decision.
Paul. Did you forget they know you
stole the artifact? Lucy opened his eyes, almost
looking alert. Of course I didn't forget, but
they don't know who I was working.
(06:47):
For is your brain melting? Humans aren't dumb.
You stole the artifact and they know that.
Everyone knows that. Lucy considered her point.
Maybe you're right. A Karen with a brain is the
first time for everything Karen Blair.
Lucy backed off. OK, OK, I'm going to retrieve
the spear and I'm going to throwit further away.
(07:09):
All right. Karen nodded hesitantly.
Though the artifact as far away as possible.
Please don't screw this up for us.
We are so close to completing what we've wanted for centuries.
Lucy picked up the phone and dialed a number.
(07:31):
Hi Johnny, it's Lucy. I've got a very special job for
you. Back at Scathatch's mansion,
Victor was very confused. Hybrids.
Hearing that word, he rememberedone of those cheesy movies he
used to watch with his dad. It was about a lady vampire who
wore a tight black dress and hada hybrid boyfriend.
(07:53):
When they popped up in movies, hybrids were portrayed as having
the best of both species. They were capable of tremendous
power. Sienna, Violet, Sasha, and
Ruby's faces twisted in disgust when they heard the word.
Lacus and Pepper didn't seem to affect it.
Sienna scoffed. Yes, disgusting creatures that
are the result of crossing a noble vampire.
(08:14):
And a werewolf. Victor looked around and saw the
reaction that this word caused his wives.
His curiosity increased. How strong are hybrids?
Hybrids strong. What a joke.
Sienna started to laugh. Sienna wanted to mock Victor,
but when she felt the gaze of Scathatch, she closed her mouth.
She muttered under her breath. Why is my mom on his side now?
(08:39):
Ruby gently wrapped her fingers around Victor's shoulders.
Darling, this is nothing like the.
Movies. Hybrids aren't strong.
They're like an error in the genetic.
Code. There's something like a donkey.
Oh. Victor looked at Ruby.
Ruby continued. Werewolves and vampires are two
very different species. Both genetically and
(08:59):
physiologically. To put it in simple words, we
are the opposite. Of each other.
So because of that quirk. We can't mix.
Violet looked like she was aboutto vomit and.
When we get mixed up, an extremely rare case.
Can happen. A hybrid?
Can be born. Sasha joined them.
The hybrid will likely be born sterile and will have a short
(09:20):
life expectancy. Sometimes they are born with
unusual diseases that can affectthe two species.
Because of that, when a hybrid is identified, it is immediately
haunted and eliminated by both species.
Victor stroked his chin. Wow.
Pilots started to theorize. I wonder what Clan Horseman was
thinking about protecting a hybrid.
(09:40):
Don't they know they can cause apandemic at any time?
What are the royal guards doing?Those old eunuchs wouldn't allow
that kind of monstrosity to run.Around, Siena broke her silence.
They've been quiet. Surprisingly quiet.
Ruby frowned. Do the King's guards have some
sort of agreement with the clan?Sasha's eyes opened wide.
That's not possible. The Royal Guards keep everything
(10:02):
in order. They only follow the orders of
the royal. Family, right?
Scathad shook her head. Someone.
From the Royal. Family is supporting that.
Clan. Sasha was disgusted by this
revelation. She started to think of the
King's descendants, but only onecame to mind when she thought of
this kind of dirty scheme. The first Prince.
(10:22):
Scathatch shrugged. Probably.
I'm not sure yet, but that's something he would do.
He doesn't hide his desire to take the throne.
She didn't care for political schemes, they always seemed so
human. She preferred to solve
everything by force, though she knew that not everything could
be resolved that way, especiallydelicate situations involving
(10:44):
the royal family. Scathatch knew she didn't have
the patience for these kinds of machinations, so she avoided
getting too involved in politics.
After all, she knew that at somepoint she would get angry, and
if she got angry, she would likely end up destroying another
clan of noble vampires. Victor noticed an odd expression
on Scathatch's face. You've had an experience with a
(11:06):
hybrid, haven't you? Scathatch nodded, impressed.
You're. Correct.
There were twisted rumors that the blood of hybrids have a
secret. Power.
I had to know for myself. It was a horrible mistake.
I felt like I was eating. Garbage.
Her daughters didn't know how toreact to this new information,
but one thing was going through the sister's mind.
(11:27):
Why did their mother always reveal pieces of her past so
easily when Victor asked? When her own daughters asked
questions, she'd be dismissive of them.
But for some reason, Victor seemed to get all the answers.
Losing her patience, Sasha stomped her foot.
All eyes were on her now. My mother must have been fooled
by the hybrid stories and because she was bored, she
(11:49):
didn't think twice about bettingthe Vampire Count title and in
the end she lost. Victor nodded.
So she was tricked. Ruby cleared the throat as she
readied herself to ask a question that had been on her
mind for quite some time. If my mom got the invitation.
Then was our clan invited to seethe game?
Scathatch replied. Indeed, I wasn't planning on
(12:09):
going up first, but the. Situation has changed.
Scathatch looked at Victor with a small smile on her face.
Victor was confused. I don't understand Scat Thatch.
Explain. I want you to see how the game
works. It's an important piece of your
education. Victor didn't protest.
Good, then I'd like to attend. What kind of dangerous game has
(12:32):
Victor just agreed to play? Is he truly controlling scat
Talk or is he unknowingly becoming her pawn to?

description. Sasha turned to her mother.
When will the game take place? In six months?
Sasha was puzzled. Why so long?
(12:54):
Scat that shrug. Probably because Clan Horseman
wants to. Prepare.
Sienna took a letter on the table that Luna had retrieved
earlier and slid it to Sasha. Violet intercepted the card and
tore it open. Sasha bristled but allowed it.
Violet casually opened the letter and started to read it as
if it was meant for her. Blah blah political bullshit
(13:16):
blah blah Oh this is interesting.
All the clans are invited. Sasha scoffed.
Well, it is my aunt. She's always confident.
Pepper raised her hand. Question Feeling the stairs of.
Everyone in the room, she proceeded.
What are we going to do about Victor's powers?
Ruby opened her eyes a little. Oh, you're so right, sister.
(13:38):
If they find out he's a vampire who has the three powers of the
Count houses, trouble could ensue.
Black has chimed in. We could.
Seal his powers. Victor scalp?
Hell no. If it's trouble they want, then
it's trouble they'll. Get I won't limit myself or hide
my powers just for courtesy's sake.
Scathatch and Victor looked at each other.
(13:58):
Scathatch was visibly shocked bywhat she just heard, but soon
her smile grew. I love your spirit.
I too. Am hungry for a battle Ruby.
Sienna and Lacus traded tense looks, they knew that Scathatch
was fully committed to Victor and there was no separating
them. Violet glared at Scathatch, who
flashed her a derisive smile in return.
(14:20):
Violet growl. What?
Are you smiling at? Old hag Scathatch mocked.
Her. Oh no, I'm so scared.
Why don't you go abduct another man?
Stalker Violet didn't flinch, she just squeezed Victor tight.
You're just. Jealous Scathatch's blood red
eyes increased in intensity for a few seconds, but stopped as
soon as Victor gained her attention.
(14:48):
Enough. I'm tired of the squabbling.
The vampires around the table averted their eyes.
The tension eased. Scathatch studied Victor
intently and then rose to her feet and snapped her fingers.
I've decided something. Everyone watched her with bated
breath. Starting today, I will begin
training Victor. She disappeared and then
(15:10):
reappeared right next to Victor,inches from his face.
Victor instinctively jumped back.
Cut that out. Scathatch laughed.
You're still too. Slow to avoid me.
All the more reason you need my training.
She disappeared again, then reappeared behind him.
She prepared to land a light attack on his neck, but before
(15:32):
she could make contact, a small block of ice stopped her hand.
He tried to strike her back, butshe moved quickly and dodged his
attack. She clapped, finally.
Things were getting. So dull around here.
She grabbed Victor's leg. Lightning energy rippled through
(15:53):
his body, sending her stumbling back.
She grinned. But you're still not enough.
In a flash, she pulled him in close and stomped hard on his
foot. Victor gritted his teeth and
tried not to react to his foot being broken.
He formed an ice shield over hisbody, but it was no use.
(16:17):
Scathatch easily broke through. She shattered his shield and
knocked him to the ground hard. Realizing he was losing
consciousness, Victor bit down on his tongue.
The pain shocked him back into consciousness.
Scathatch let out a jubilant laugh.
(16:40):
She was clearly enjoying herself.
His wives. Panicked darling husband.
Victor raised his hands, instructing his wives not to
interfere. He looked up at Scathash and
grinned at her, showing off his blood stained fangs.
You don't have to do this to tryto get me to go with you, I told
you. I'll gladly follow.
(17:01):
Scathash smiled. Good, good.
That's the spirit I want. Now follow this.
As soon as she disappeared, Victor used his heightened
senses to stay focused on her location in the distance.
But before he joined her, he needed to say his farewells to
his wives. He approached Sasha first.
(17:23):
My love, I'll see you soon. Don't do anything reckless, OK?
She smiled. I won't.
Don't worry, husband. Next he embraced Violet.
No recklessness, right? Violet Bristle.
Huh I. Never do anything reckless.
Victor nodded. Sure, whatever you say next was
(17:43):
Ruby. Take care of them, OK?
I trust you. He kissed her forehead, took a
final look at his three wives, and vanished.
Pepper looked around, confused. Where is Kagia?
The three wives traded knowing glances.
They spoke in unison. Pepper tilted her head.
(18:04):
Huh. What do you mean?
Kagia had no doubt travelled with Victor in his shadow to
keep him safe. There was a moment of quiet in
the room, and then Violet spoke first.
I. Suppose I'll go back home.
Ruby and Sasha were surprised. Violet shot them a look.
What Ruby? Commented Nothing, it's just a
surprise. You want to part with Victor,
(18:25):
Sasha added. Indeed.
I thought you were going to scream and rage or something,
Violet. Side.
Believe me, I don't want to partwith him and I'm furious.
I can't be with. Him right now.
Her expression darkened. But as long as that old witch is
with him, there's nothing I can do.
(18:46):
Ruby and Sasha nodded in agreement.
She gave them a resigned look. I'm going back home.
And I'm going. To train.
I feel my power steadily increasing and I don't have the
confidence to control. It like.
I did before. Sienna, Lacus, and Pepper were a
little surprised when they heardwhat Violet said.
They knew that for vampires to get stronger, they had to get
(19:07):
older or trained to learn new techniques and incorporate them
into their fighting style. However, Violet just said that
her power was steadily growing, which was theoretically
impossible for vampires of her age.
Ruby stepped forward to get the others attention.
Oh, now that you mention it, I felt my powers increasing too.
But I've been. Ignoring it since I still have
(19:28):
control. Over them, Sasha looked at Ruby.
That's because you're a small monster trained by an even
bigger monster. Ruby was a little annoyed.
How? Rude to call me a monster.
But. That's what you are.
You've been trained by Scathatchsince you were little.
You're a little monster. Sasha smiled.
Ruby turned to face Violet and ignored Sasha.
(19:49):
How are you going to get home? We're in the North, you know.
It's a long trip to where you live.
Violet was undeterred. I will run.
With the power of my fire. I can boost.
Myself to get back faster. Ruby scoffed.
That's a waste. Of energy.
Why don't you use a helicopter or something?
It's too slow. Ruby was surprised, wondering
(20:10):
just how fast Violet could travel on her own.
Sasha looked around. Why don't you call that other
maid? Speaking of, where is she?
No one could find Natalia. Luna got their attention.
She's on vacation until Violet goes back to the human world.
Ruby was puzzled. Violet explained.
That maid's contract is only forduty in the human world.
(20:32):
Ruby's side. What is your family thinking
getting involved with that? Clan Violet shrugged.
Although my mother is a narcissistic bitch, she still
has a good head on her shoulders.
She's got to deal with the king to employ someone from that clan
as a maid. Sasha raised her eyebrow.
Why did she risk so much? Violet scoffed.
(20:52):
She needed someone to help her shop.
Sasha shook her head and then gave Violet a sympathetic look.
It's hard to have a mother like that.
I know, Violet. Nodded, you can say.
That again. Ruby refrained from commenting.
Despite Scathatch being the way she is, she was still a good
mother for the most part. She was strict, kind, and always
protected her daughters despite her abrasive attitude and
(21:15):
penchant for chaos. Overall, Ruby had nothing to
complain about her mom. She.
Just had trouble getting close to her.
Sienna approached Ruby and Sasha.
What are you 2 going to do? Ruby thought about it.
I'll train too, although I don'tthink I need.
It it's always good to go. Over the basics.
Sasha joined her. Me too.
(21:36):
Unlike these two freaks, I'm nota natural.
Ruby gave her a playful pat on the shoulder.
I predict. My mom and Victor.
Will be in seclusion for at least.
Six months. I might go back to my job.
Sienna smirked. You guys are taking this so
well, I'm impressed. I can't imagine what it will be
like. For them.
To be alone together that long, I wonder how they'll pass the
(21:56):
time at night. The three of the wives began to
glow, and a triple killing intent filled the room.
Pepper ducked behind her older sister.
Violet trembled in rage. Forget what I say before I'm
going to get my darling. Ruby was right behind her.
(22:17):
Same Sasha joined her fellow wives.
I can't believe we ever thought it would be OK to leave him with
such a dangerous force. Let's go.
Without further ado, the trio took off in a blinding flash of
light. Sienna was delighted.
So predictable Pepper. Wasn't as amused.
(22:37):
Mom is going to be really mad atyou.
Sienna's face darkened. Pepper had a .0.
Shit, shit, shit. Where has Scath Hatch taken
Victor for his so-called training?
What dark secrets lie behind hertrue intentions?
And can Victor survive what she's about to unleash?
