Reincarnated into a New World As a Vampire

The man could only chuckle dryly as he rubbed one hand behind his head, "you do know that they have a first class section, right? It\'s not like I even travelled in the regular coach." He explained. Even then, she wasn\'t taking it.

Aldritch listen a bit more, drawing the conclusion immediately that his man had to be someone who used to be a commoner before he got all his riches. As for the woman, Aldritch could smell entitlement all around, definitely in the category of the type of people he didn\'t like. Then again, if he was to waste any more time, he really would lose this big fish.

Aldritch made his move there in the middle of the street, approaching the group with paced steps. The guards quickly noticed him approaching and moved to stop him.

"Halt! Where do you think you\'re going?!" They asked authoritatively, enough to make any man without status quiver in his shoes.

The chubby man noticed his guards\' actions, prompting him to turn towards them to see what was the matter, so did his wife. Once his eyes met with Aldritch\'s, it was done, that was all that was needed.

Seeing that his skill had worked, Aldritch said audibly, "mister, you know me! Please, ask your guards to let me through!" he said, sounding a little helpless to solidify his act.

Once he spoke those words, the man paused for a second before coming back to his senses, doing exactly as Aldritch had asked. His guards backed off once he ordered and Aldritch was allowed to approach.

\'Who\'s this young commoner? I\'ve never seen such a dashing young man before…\' The man\'s wife thought to herself as she studied Aldritch subtly, looking him head to toe. \'Such fair and clear skin, fairer than a woman\'s…\' She said in her mind as a smirk formed on the corner of her lips. She immediately readjusted herself, pushing her chest out a little more and straightening her posture.

\'This woman is can\'t possibly be pure at all." Aldritch thought to himself noticing her body language.

"Sir, remember me? I\'m Aldritch, the one you promised to bring to the magic academy personally after seeing that I have good talent?" Aldritch said. He immediately felt his skill take effect.

"A-ah!, yes of course! How could I have forgotten!" He exclaimed as though he remembered something that had escaped his memory completely.

"Darling, why didn\'t you tell me about this? Such a talented young man, are you planning on sponsoring him?" She asked with a smile and slightly squinted eyes.

"Well, I couldn\'t write everything into a few letters, I must have chosen to tell you in person." He said before turning to Aldritch again. "Aldritch, this is my wife, Dalia. Even though she is my second wife, she is my most trusted and most loved." He said.

Aldritch looked at Dalia with a smile on his face, "my apologies for not greeting you before, lady Dalia. There surely is a charming woman behind every powerful man." He said intently.

Hearing his words and looking at his sweet smile, Dalia was captivated that very instant as her cheeks reddened a bit and she couldn\'t help but hide the smirk that formed on her lips, covering her face half way using the fabric of her sleeves.

"Oh my, I can\'t say you aren\'t correct, young man. What was your name again?" She asked. Aldritch could hear her heart beat increase a bit.

"Aldritch." He answered, looking her directly in the eyes while wearing a soft smile.

\'Such piercing red eyes, I\'ve never heard of anyone with such eyes… so charming~\' She smiled softly behind the fabric that covered her mouth.

"Aldritch, I see."

"Aldritch, I did promise I\'d take you to the academy, but I still have to stop somewhere for business this evening, I don\'t think it\'d be possible to take you there and come back for my meeting on time. Why don\'t I take you tomorrow?"

\'Tomorrow?\'

Before Aldritch could protest by using his skill to draw a different result, Dalia chimed in with a suggestion, "that\'s a good idea, in the meantime, why don\'t we bring him along with us, he can stay in one of the guest rooms and it would make it easy for you to bring him to the magic academy tomorrow."

Aldritch immediately saw where this was going, and to be sincere, he couldn\'t oppose such a great idea, not at all.

\'A promiscuous wife, aren\'t you?\' He thought to himself as a smile formed on his lips, "splendid idea, lady Dalia. If you don\'t mind my presence…"

"Why would I? My wife doesn\'t seem to either, you must be a very lucky boy! Come on then, you\'ll take the second coach once with the others, let\'s go." The chubby man said.

As they made their way to the coach, Dalia couldn\'t help herself as she turned a little, catching Aldritch\'s face from the corner of her eyes, smiling as she did. The chubby man waited for her to enter the coach first then he followed behind her before the door was shut behind them by one of the guards.

Their coach looked pretty fancy in design, while the one the guards boarded was larger and not as fancy, but still quite pleasing in comparison to the regular ones found around.

Aldritch entered that one alongside three guards that were with the chubby man prior. One of them went into the other coach with the man. It seemed there was one maid and a guard in that coach alongside the merchant and his wife. Their carriage itself appeared smaller and could probably only fit four people comfortably. As for the one he was in, it could easily hold eight people.

Aldritch realized he had no idea who the chubby man was, so he decided to get some information. Of course, for him, that would be a piece of cake.
