Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 512: Charlotte

Charlotte, who was there, smiled. She was waiting for him, too, so she simply turned around and ran to him to hug him.

"The stars can sometimes be a way when you’re lost and don’t know what to do. That’s why I like to look at them." She replied softly, as she breathed heavily, wanting to smell his scent.

"Although, I like looking at you more. You’re prettier than those stars, and you can guide me to a better way." As she said this, she stared at him.

Matthew lowered his head and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. "You seem to know a lot of things, my Lady. I wonder why you can read me when you haven’t seen me."

Charlotte enjoyed the taste of the kiss before opening her eyes and responding.

"It’s been over 30 years together, Matt. There’s only so much you can keep from me. Besides, I know things about you that you probably don’t even know. Tell me, why did you decide to come to this place now? Visiting me is not a good idea right now."

"Are you being monitored?"

She nodded. "I just got out of a punishment. It was supposed to be 5 years of punishment for letting you escape and for that guy’s death, but you seem to be moving pretty fast. Thanks to you, I’m now out 4 years early."

Matthew nodded at her. "I see; I seem to have created problems for you."

"Hahaha, well, it’s not the first time. In battles, you always tended to create problems for me because your skills were simply terrifying, and getting you into my scheme of strategies was too difficult. I guess now that we’re back in our original bodies, things haven’t changed. You’re still you, after all."

After hearing this, Matthew looked serious. "You seem to know it too." He spoke. Discover more stories at empire

She smiled and sighed, and after they both walked over and sat down by a nearby tree, she leaned against his chest and spoke.

"The world is full of mysteries, Matt. Who would ever think that you and I met 10 million years ago?" She smiled even wider and lifted her gaze to stare at him, reminiscing back in time.

"It’s been a long time, my boy. It seems that in this ’new life’, we can indeed keep our promises. I wonder, which power will win? My Inheritance of Adam or your Inheritance of Origin?"

Matthew looked back at her. He understood what she was talking about.

It was in his memories of Charlotte’s existence.

Just as he was the Son of the Great Dietrich, Charlotte was the only daughter of the Great Adam. A woman of astonishing power and an indomitable personality. The two had fallen deeply in love from the first moment they met.

"So if our goal is to bring right closure to all the revenges we have, then we can found a New World. But if we allow ourselves to be consumed by revenge and the bloodlust that binds us to the past, then we will not have enough power to deal with it. The New World will come to us, and we will be devoured by fate and its dangerous maw."

Charlotte frowned. "What do you mean? You mean knowing how to focus on the target?" She asked.

Matthew nodded.

"In the past, they betrayed you several times, then they betrayed us recently, and your complaints about them have only increased. All of that makes them a point of revenge of us. But we shouldn’t let that consume us."

"Over 40 years living on Earth taught us how to live as humans and understand them better; let’s not waste that opportunity. We have the upper hand, and we must take advantage of it, but we must also not let ourselves be consumed by that thirst for revenge that binds us to the past because then we will fail."

"Do you understand me?" He asked, and Charlotte nodded slightly.

"When we were on earth, you mentioned that I couldn’t let revenge cloud my mind so I wouldn’t lose sight of the path. We must close vengeance with our own hands to make it more pleasurable and see that vengeance as another stepping stone to the top, right?"

Matthew smiled a little. Her words made him travel back to a past more than 20 years ago.

"That’s exactly what I mean."

Charlotte sighed a little after that and leaned back to look up at the sky.

"It’s hard to look away when even my father is complicit in the damage. The human race is a mistake; I’m sure the world, or the God who created us, would have regretted doing so."

"We are not a race worthy of respect because although it is our actions that will determine that, and we know it, we do not strive to do the good things. The sins enumerated on earth were only a small portion; mankind is even more heinous than that. And they haven’t changed in these millions of years; they’ve gotten worse." Charlotte sighed visibly.

To her, this humanity was a failure.

When a race is soiled from its progenitor to the last of those born on its own account, it is not a race that is worthy of a world or of existing. For that filth is not one small sin; it is millions of accumulated sins that stain the world’s beauty.

On Earth, humans destroyed the planet they lived on, and it was thanks to the Mana that this world could continue to exist. But, in time, they sentenced the world again, as there was no way they could have endured the emperors that came after the Ice without the presence of Matthew and Charlotte there.

And in this world, it is not too different; for her, it is even worse.

Even Matthew knows it. There is no one more worthy than her to say that about humanity.

That was why she left him speechless for a moment.
