Overgeared

Marie Rose was gone. Of course, she was her own person. She could go out whenever she wanted. However, this was uncommon for her, especially since she was going to give birth very soon.

Grid instructed the three hundred and ten God Hands to search the entire castle and sent a whisper to Katz.

[Whisper to Katz: Does Marie Rose see anyone on a regular basis?]

[Whisper from Katz: Someone she sees on a regular basis...?]

Katz reacted strangely to the question. Grid cleared his throat. Did his wife regularly meet someone else? The question sounded like a line from a drama where the love interest was having an affair.

[Whisper to Katz: I’m worried because her castle is empty. Does she usually go out at this time? If so, then I can afford to relax.]

[Whisper from Katz: Who knows... Grid, you know that I usually only spend a few minutes a week with her. I’m only reporting the internal affairs of the vampire cities to her, so it’s hard to keep track of her schedule.]

From the time Beriache had tried to betray Marie Rose but failed and died instead, Katz’ situation had changed considerably. He still had the ancient class, Beriache’s Knight, but he now served Marie Rose. He didn’t feel like he was her confidant. He was merely responsible for managing the vampire race and looking after the city’s internal affairs on Mary Rose’s behalf.

Contrary to Grid’s expectations, he wasn’t close to Marie Rose at all.

‘That makes sense now that I think about it.’

The only one Marie Rose was interested in was Grid. Recently, she seemed to take an interest in Irene and Lord, but she generally showed absolute indifference to other humans. Katz also wasn’t the type of guy to flatter others. There was no way the two of them could have gotten closer.

[Whisper from Katz: If you feel anxious, I will send out a quest to the entire vampire race to find Marie Rose right away...]

[Whisper to Katz: No, let it go. I’ll take care of this, so keep your strength for the war.]

Grid was lost in thought for a brief moment. It was very unlikely that Marie Rose’s disappearance was a scheme organized by a third party. Who would dare to trap Marie Rose? That was impossible. She was wise and not easy to fool. She was also very strong. Others couldn’t suppress her using force. The fact that she would give birth soon didn’t change this fact. Even Grid with his Annihilation energy couldn’t guarantee that he would win in a duel with Marie Rose.

‘She can absorb other people’s power by drinking their blood.’

Marie Rose had managed to recreate Hayate’s Dragon-Killing Sword after drinking just a drop of blood. Unless the opponent never shed a drop of blood in the fight, Marie Rose was invincible.

What was the difference between her and Hanul? Hanul hadn’t been able to immediately fully reproduce the skill he absorbed. However, he could permanently store it, train it, eventually turning it into his own ability.

On the other hand, Marie Rose reproduced the skills of the person whose blood she drank to near perfection. What’s more, she even absorbed some of their stats. There was the disadvantage that this ability granted effects only temporarily, not permanently, but it was a huge threat during battle.

The conclusion—

‘There is no way she was kidnapped.’
