Chapter 167: [The Vampire Queen!]
[Milliam’s POV:]

“And that is how much I have collected about this place,” I explained to Lord Black Shadow about the information that I have picked up over the centuries.
I left a few things about the Vampire Lord’s current affairs as Wesker told me to.
It wasn’t just because of my clan and the curse, but that Lord Black Shadow was behaving rather suspicious.
“Thank you, young inspector. I really appreciate you quenching my curiosity. I have no more questions left,” Lord Black Shadow spoke as he observed me with a kind look.
Honestly, his proud and distant gaze felt more home to me than this friendly gaze. It kinda creeped me out, even scared me to an extent.
“Well. I will take my leave now. Seems like I have a lot of things to do now,” he spoke with a refreshing smile as he then vanished from there.
In the empty space, I stood as I gazed at the never ending horizon. There were a few mountains at a distance from here, but that’s all.
The black sky and the white ground made me sigh as I found myself lonely again. But something in my heart tingles a little…
From the monotonous life that I had been living for sometime now, I felt like something fun was about to begin.
“[Summon: Skeletal Wyvern!]”
I was a necromancer. One of the strongest out there, the Queen of Undead, Milliam Uncleave.
“Let’s depart towards the Kingdom of the Vampires,” I commanded that skeletal wyvern, as it began forming right under my feet, lifting me up in the air and on its back.
And once it formed, it began flapping its wings, flying above in the air, gaining altitude gradually.
The initial jump was a little slow, but then with a dash, it began gaining speed, while I stood on its head, looking at the Inverse World from above.

I could see a few castles on a bunch of white pillars. That was the Kingdom of Gargoyles. It didn’t hold any prison of hell, so there were no Hell Guardians present there.
Though it was still dangerous to lurk around that place since it had about a thousand generals and 100s of dukes living there.
That Gargoyles can reproduce faster than any other demons, was one of the contributing factors there.
And then, changing my direction, I then flew even faster towards the Vampire Kingdom.
Even with all this speed, it took me about an hour to reach near the location, where it became faintly visible to the naked eye.
“Fancy seeing you here,” a voice sounded from behind, making me turn around with an alarmed face. Cautiously I turned, as I took a first look.
And the second look was nothing but fear. Terror. Horror.
“The Vampire Queen?” I was shocked to see her here.
I mean, I was supposed to meet her anyway, but to meet her this way?
“Is this how the inspectors behave now?” She was a bit amused with me. And realizing what she meant, I immediately got on my knees.
“Millan Uncleave. Someone who has already lost everything and has nothing to lose,” she continued as she came closer to me and patted my head slowly.
“I’ll get directly to the point. Did that Fate Weaver Wesker send you? He met me as well… though indirectly through an illusion. He said that if I cooperate with you, I might achieve what I want,” she spoke, making me widen my eyes.
That guy, Wesker, he met the Queen of Vampires? But when? Wasn’t he busy fighting?
“Judging from your expression, you seem to know something,” she said as she looked at me directly in my eyes. And I gulped as I observed her.
And then. Perhaps it was fear? Or maybe I was charmed by her? I ended up telling her everything that I knew about the incident.
At first she was simply listening, but when I reached the part where Wesker protected me from something that I should not know of, her expression took a 180-degree turn.
“Those… monsters. To think even Black Shadow would be involved with them. Are we really nothing but pawns to them? Sigh…. But I am glad that he is at least free from them…” She faintly smiled in the end, charming me a bit more.
“Tell me more. What happened next?” Her smile became apparent. Her expression brightened as she looked at me now.
And I began narrating the rest of the events that happened.
I told her about how Wesker asked me to hide things about the Vampire Kingdom. And how I am to meet with a guy named Abraham in the castle.
Her expression changed a little, but she didn’t speak anything. So, I just continued, while she listened to the very end.
And once everything ended, she was silent as she looked at me with an indescribable face.
“Hmmm. Seems like you don’t have much information on this either… but since you got involved, it must mean there must be something about you,” she looked me in the eye for a moment.
‘What next…?’ I thought as I looked at her, before she proposed something to me.
“How would you like to become one of my personal assistants?”
While it wasn’t a bad option at all, I still was put in a somewhat precarious position.
On one side, there was Lord Black Shadow, who I have served over a very long time.
On the other, there was the Vampire Queen, who was offering me a position that I don’t even know if I could achieve in this lifetime.
“If you are worried about what Lord Black Shadow will think, then don’t worry. I will talk to him,” she spoke as she looked at me with a slight chuckle.
All the worries that I had vanished in an instant. If she could talk to Lord Black Shadow then I won’t feel guilty about it.
And relieved, I smiled as I answered,
“It will be an honor to serve you, my lady.”
