26's view

The whole arena is in a state of shock, a prisoner has just dealt with five guards like he was killing a few chickens. The vampire soldiers might possess a strong combat power, but the normal civilians don't and considering that most soldiers and nobles are fighting with the human armies, there is almost no one in the capital except the Queen herself who is able to stop him if he went on a rampage.

"Clap, clap, clap."

From the V.I.P area, a single person could be heard applauding while laughing with a cute voice. All the eyes in the arena focused on the origin of the sound and when they confirmed who was applauding, they were scared witless. Their queen, the person supposed to protect them was applauding when five of her guards got killed in front of her eyes. Did this not mean 26 could kill almost anyone when and where he wanted without repercussions?

The girl stops applauding and starts talking: "26, you really surprised me with this performance. Never would I have guessed that the hero of the humans would end up like this after injecting a little progenitors blood. You really exceeded my expectations, not only were you the only one who's body accepted the blood, even your class changed."

I look up at the little girl with a look of confusion before asking: "Who are you?"

The little girl and a bigger girl wearing strange clothes jump down. The little girl walks up to me and looks into my eyes before caressing my face. 

I can hear Azil shouting: "Whatever you do don't back off, this girl is out of your league, you don't even stand a chance. Just do as she says."

Not able to reply, I slowly nod and keep looking at the girl.

After a few moments, the girl stops touching him and replies: "I'm the progenitor in charge of this branch of the vampire kingdom and you could say I am your wife." 

What is this girl saying and more important what is a wife?

Everyone in the arena gets a miniature heart attack and a few people actually fainted, I really don't get why everyone is acting like that.

The little girl falls on the ground and starts giggling uncontrollably. After a few seconds, she pulls herself up and giggles: "You should see all of your faces, of course, I am not his wife."

Everyone starts to regain their composure and show you can hear a few sighs of relief, but seeing 26 unfazed expressions, the little girl  shows an evil grin before continuing: "Well, you have my late husband his blood and I gave it to you, so you could say that I am your mother. You should call me mom." 

What is this girl talking about? Well since Azil told me to not anger her, I will just play along.

26 calmly replied: "Yes, Mom."

"Tsk, you are no fun to tease", the girl exclaims while stomping with her foot on the ground. If the floor was made of stone instead of sand, it would be shattered by now.

With a calm look on my face, I inquire: "If you are not my mother, who are you then?"

The little girl facepalms before muttering: "Of course the amnesia, no wonder he looked so calm. Wait, he most likely doesn't even know what a mother or wife is. Was it a mistake to have the maids give him that woman? I mean does he even know what a woman is?"

She looks me in the eyes, making me feel uncomfortable before asking: "Do you know what I am?"

This question totally surprised me and I mutter: "A girl?"

The girl starts smiling and asks with an excited voice: "Do you know what a girl is?"

Her smile made me smile and I happily shout: "No idea."

"Slap."

She starts shouting: "Are you an idiot? Why are you so happy about it?"

After a few seconds, she calms down and continues in an exhausted tone: "From now on a tutor will come and each day and teach you the basics. Wait..what was I originally going to say again, ...ah right you could say I am your master and you my pet, so call me master."

I open my mouth to ask what is a pet is, but before I can make a sound she coldly says: "The tutor will explain just listen for now if you got that then just nod."

I nod and she looks relief before beckoning the other girl and ordering: "Explain to that chief of the guards that we  planned on  giving to him that she is supposed to teach him the most common of knowledge."

The weird clothed girl bows and replies,"Yes Milady", after saying this she walks away.

"26, listen well I will give you a piece of advice. You may have progenitors blood, but it is not awakened yet. In order to awaken it, you need to kill, kill a lot. Got that?", the little girl inquires.

I nod and say: "Yes master."

She looks quite pleased and continues: "In a month you will be included in a test. To succeed you have to survive a battle royal with 24 other test subjects, until then you have free access to the arena. This means you can ask to fight as many opponents as you see fit in order to train. I will be sending a woman over to you, she is a gift and your tutor. You can do wat you want but I would prefer if you did not kill her. Well, you can get rid of her limbs if she is annoying. Also, she is your food source so the guards won't be giving you any more meals. Not that it matters, since blood is a lot tastier."

She gives me playful look and comes closer to my ear and whispers: "Talking about blood", and sinks her fangs into my neck.

After a few moments, she releases me and says with a delighted tone and an ecstatic face: "You taste just like my late husband, just like a real progenitor. Don't let anyone drink your blood, you are my plaything."

She starts walking towards the exit of the arena but right before she leaves she turns around and says: "Oh, and the sword you picked up can be considered a gift from me."

As she enters the door, I can see the surrounding turning black and feel myself losing control over my body. After a few seconds, I feel my body hitting the ground and the last thing I hear is the girl shouting something.

Blood Queen Melissa's view

"Thud"

I turn around and see 26 lying on the ground. Anger flashes on my face and I shout:"Get me the best healers we have, NOW!" Seeing all the visitors staring at 26 I give the order for eveyone including the guards to leave  the arena. When the last person leaves I run towards 26's body and start pacing around it while waiting for the doctors to arrive. While pondering about how this could have happend as he was just fine a few moments ago. If I find out who caused this I will skin them all alive. 

After a few minutes, two young female healers arrives and start inspecting his body. 

After the inspection, one of the two, a young looking woman, wearing traditional white with golden healers clothes and cute light blue hair comes over to me and bows down and says: "Long live ou..."

I interrupt her by waving my hand to signal her to tell me what is wrong with him. The moment I interrupt her, I can see fear being born in her eyes. 

After a few moments, she quickly proceeds: "My Queen his physical condition is almost perfect and he has no wounds or illnesses."

"Tsk, Then why did he collapse!", I shout

The healer who is still kneeling gets on all fours and pushes her own face on the ground and I think she even wet her pants. Normally I would love such actions, but not now. I kick the healer and she flies a few meters back before crawling back and continuing in a frightened voice:"He has a mental problem, we noticed three distinct personalities in his head. His real one and two he created himself. Those personalities are most likely a result of the experiment. During the whole fight, he forcefully synchronized with one of the fake personalities resulting in extreme mental fatigue."

After saying this the healer doesn't make the slightest movement anymore and I get lost in my own thoughts. So he has three personalities. I need to learn more about them, maybe the guards in charge of the cells know more about them. This really is a relief, I thought he was in danger but he was just mentally exhausted. Well, he will need to get a better mental stamina to complete all the plans I have in store for him.

I look at the healer in front of me and run my hands trough her hair and gently ask: "Good job figuring out, how did you do it?"

The girl pants: "We had to take a bit of his blood..."

My hands firmly grab her hair and slam her head into the floor before raging:"Who told you, you could take his blood. Bring it to me, NOW!"

The other healer, a trembling black haired woman wearing the same clothes comes over and hands me a vial of blood before getting on all fours herself and bowing to me. As I receive the blood my anger fades away and I start scolding them:"Shall I tell you why you are not allowed to take this blood away."

The two girls both start crying and the newly arrived girl also wet her pants. I guess they know I have executed people for smaller offenses, well I also have executed people for my own fun but I don't think they know that. 

I walk around them and continue: "Have you ever had the honor of tasting my blood as a reward. Well, I guess not but believe me, it tastes like a piece of heaven to normal vampires like you. Do you believe me if I say that people have betrayed their entire families to get their hands on even a drop? Now tell me what gender am I?"

The two quickly reply: "Female."

I pet their heads as a reward and ask:"What gender is almost 90% of the capital?"

The two again reply together: "Female."

I stroke their backs and praise them:"Correct again, at the moment the gender ratio is 70% -30% in favor of the female population. This is the result of our low birth rate and all the wars. And because of the latest war almost all males are fighting on the front lines.

I pull them up and start choking them both:" You should know female blood is what males especially love and females love male blood. So, tell me what would happen if a male progenitor's blood got out in the city."

Fear flashes in their eyes and with great effort the blue haired girl let out:"Male progenitor blood?"

I drop them both and laugh:"Hahahaa, you did not even notice, this blood is that of a male progenitor. Oh silly me, of course, you would not know. I mean you have never even tasted my blood before so how could you know what a progenitor's blood smells or tastes like. But did you not feel desire and arousal when you extracted this blood. No don't say anything, let me guess you felt it and tried to take it away in order to test what kind of blood this is and enjoy it in a quiet place.

The two girls stay on the ground, not daring to look at me but they start crying louder.

Looking at their reaction it seems I was right. I crouch and pull their faces close to mine and whisper:"This is why I love normal vampires and nobles so much. The outside world sees you as prideful and dangerous but in front of a progenitor no matter the gender, you all act just like dogs. And the best thing is that you don't even need to try act like that, no it is your blood that forces your body to react like this. You guys have no other option than to get aroused by the touch or attention of a progenitor of any gender. I mean aren't the two of you aroused at the moment. 

The two of them are entirely red and the black haired woman is even drooling a bit.

I giggle: "Well since you guys were able to find out what caused his situation I guess I will reward you" I open the bottle and pour the blood on the sand. "Enjoy your meal."

As I walk towards the unconscious 26 with a perverted smile on my face I can see and hear the two of them licking the blood up together with a lot of sand, even fighting a bit over it. Really vampires are such a pitiful race filled with desire. But they are quite fun to play around with.

I crouch down before petting 26's head while whispering: "Become strong quickly 26 and amuse me more."
