Harem Tournament of Champions

Promptly changing his words before it could escalate, "... you fuckers except Lord Hisha staring at me?!"

He lets out chuckles to mask the awkward tension he had created for himself.

"You are the fucking idiot who is next." Wae counters with a laugh, pointing at him to make the experience a lot more disturbing.

"My lord," Vanas calls out, looking down at his thighs.

"I don't need to spell it out for you, right?" Hisha questions with his right brow corked.

Vanas scratches his head and has a smile spread out on his face.

Hisha could already tell that whatever he was going to say would be nothing but bullshit.

[Name: Vanas Waldron]

[Height: 187cm]

[Position: Chief of the Vampire tribe]

Vanas combs his hair through his maroon hair Inhaling and exhaling as his fangs contract and protrude as he yawns.

Giving a nod to signify he will comply, he pulls out two fingers as though in a 'V' sign.

"My lord, I have two complaints, I will start with those before my woes."

Hisha nods, accepting his approach and also internally wishing he wouldn't spill out trash in the end.

Snickering with a dubious grin, Vanas adjusts in his seat.

Bringing down his middle finger. "My people are severely malnourished and might starve to death."

Putting his hand on his head and pretending as though he is severely hurt by his words.

Hisha corks a brow, his mouth slightly opened in disgust and confusion. He knew he gave out the dues that were about each tribe, it was either due to the fault of the tribal chief or the subordinates.

Vanas let out a moan in despair but had intentionally let out the wrong one.

Bang!

Draegul was the first to slam his fist right through the armrest of his chair.

He didn't speak but he could tell the others understood his reaction.

'What the heck is wrong with this vermin?!' He wonders as he grits his teeth to calm his nerves.

"Don't pick scales with me, goddamnit!" Vanas picks up a broken piece of wood and tosses it at Draegul's face.

Watching it bounce off Draegul and sound as though it had hit a hard surface had him throw back his head and burst into laughter.

His laughter dies down the moment he feels a hard glare his way.

'Is he like the clown of the bunch?' Hisha asks HTC, confused and disturbed by the actions of a few millennial man.

[There has to be an icebreaker, don't you think so?]

'Pass."

Muttering to himself about how stiff the rest were, Vanas looks at Aster and clicks his tongue. "You act as though you all are trees or rocks."

Aster made sure to keep his cool and hope he could use the distraction as a way to gather enough experience.

Continuing with the act, Vanas converses. "We are severely malnourished and would need a fresh batch of–"

Wae was quick to deflect the words, provocation of their lord was out of the question.

"Vanas would you for once–NOT JOKE AROUND!!!" Wae hisses loudly.

Vanas thought about what was said and inadvertently agreed to the words–for ten minutes.

"My lord, the blood we consume, it's not the blood itself but the taste. My people are getting picky about it, so we need a blood that is more palatable to them." Vanas explains.

[He is trying to play tricks with you, host]

HTC cautions, hoping Hisha could see through the ruse.

"Who is the one malnourished, you or your people?" Hisha flatly responds.

Gulp!

Wae nods in agreement, and adds, "you don't look like someone that needs blood to replenish that pale complexion of yours, although you could rub some to add a bit of color."

Vanas narrowed his eyes at his friend but couldn't say a thing.

It suddenly dawned on him that this was a similar approach he had utilized on those who cared enough to be disturbed.

'So this is how it feels, huh?'

He let out a little chuckle, wiping down his face and accepting his actions.

Vanas couldn't keep stalling for much longer if he wanted to have the approval of Hisha intact.

Hisha let out a yawn, triggered by how little he had been doing, he got to his feet and walked to the back of his throne.

"My patience is thinning," Hisha warns, making a swirl with his fingers.

Gulp!

Vanas adjusts himself and speaks in a low tone and a forced smile.

"My lord, if we could just get someplace, maybe a hunting zone we could use, even certainly creatures' blood helps us replenish lost energy.'

Without a second thought, Hisha casts the idea aside and has Vanas spill out his true intentions.

Vanas looks down, having his hopes crumble before him, he is temporarily at loss for words.

"My people are getting picky as the change in our meal changes, some are rejecting meat altogether. I had tried to find a way to make it more appetizing to my people, but it's proving to be harder than I thought." Vanas mumbles.

"Bwahahaha!!!!" Wae burst out into a peal of mock laughter, pointing accusingly at Vanas.

Vanas' fangs protrude at the provocation, his red eyes glowing at the perceived threat to his pride.

Stopping, Wae wipes the stray tears from his eyes and exhales to stabilize his thoughts.

"Here I thought you all were prim and proper beasts, little did I know you're in a bigger mess than how mine before." Wae mocks with his brows wiggling.

Draegul looks pleased with Wae's tactics in dishing out similar tactics to Vanas.

'I hope you can see how I feel with your pointless taunts!'

"Well, I can say you need to find a blood with class for your high white individuals." Wae continues.

Hisha lowered his head in slight disappointment, he didn't know if he should blame himself for suggesting what felt like an eternity that could have been used for some lust-filled activity.

His mind temporarily trails to having a pleasant moment with Solara. At that same moment, he stares at his chair while deep in thought.

[Now you do realize, host?]

HTC deadpans, wondering when its host would come to realize there were some he had conversed with that were in the same situation.

'Do I have to?' Hisha mumbles in his thoughts, slightly skeptical about going through with it even if he would have to one way or another.
