Villain transmigration: The doll maker.-Chapter 71:Nixie

A month had passed since the court incident, and we had travelled safely back to the duchy despite the large cathedral being razed to the ground.

It had been easy to destroy the church since they allowed anyone inside, and Luna had been able to place explosion spells all around the church.

Since it had been newly created by yours truly it had been hard to recognize. Even if they suspected us there was nothing they could do.

That had been the happiest I had been in a while.

"Young master, you have to see this, a miracle!"

Abelion’s shouts broke through my concentration. He had also been forced to leave the academy since his association with me had become public. Only Blair had remained since he was still the prince’s friend.

"What is it?"

Inviting him to stay at the duchy had been something I regretted since he just couldn’t stay still, except during the time he was rebuilding the tanks.

"It’s Nixie, her tail is separating. I was sent to call you by Jeneviv. "

By the time he finished what he was saying, I was out of the door, and following behind me was Luna.

I arrived at the annex a few moments later and burst through the door, heading for the small pond I had built for her to stay in when she couldn’t stand the lake.

"Young master look, her tail is sinking into her skin."

The blue and green tail was slowly merging with her skin and most of it had started to take a light pinkish skin colour.

"You can leave now Abelion. "

"But.."

"Leave."

I knew he was curious but Nixie was probably going to be naked after this transition. I walked to her, kneeled beside her, and took out my notebook.

"Are you feeling pain anywhere?"

She shook her head.

"No, it just feels uncomfortable nothing else. It’s like my body is turning itself inside out."

I nodded. My hand touched her receding scales, and her body twitched, and a small moan escaped her.

"It’s also extremely sensitive. "

I chuckled at that.

"It seems the potion worked, I thought it was a failure since it had been a week of no result."

I mumbled to myself. I had managed to make a potion for her by mixing her cells with human cells before separating the mixture in frustration. It had left a small residue that sank below both separate mixtures.

I had decided to try it on her and it seems to have worked.

"Yes, now I can go in and out of the water without worrying about anything. "

She said cheerfully. I shook my head.

"While it is good news, making this potion requires a lot of attention and a small mishap could destroy it. So you’re going to have to choose a side to stay in more. Land or water?"

She looked conflicted, the previously happy look gone just like that.

"It would be better to stay on land since you will be travelling, I do not want to be an inconvenience. "

I smiled and rubbed her soft hair.

"Good girl but don’t strain yourself. Just because it takes a lot of time to make one potion, it doesn’t mean I can’t make it."

"Young master Lucian!"

A body slammed into my back, causing me to almost lose my balance. I had braced myself but getting jumped like this always disoriented me.

"Kianah, how has my favorite elf been doing?"

I turned to glance at the grey eyes looking at me curiously.

"I’m your only elf, young master, but I’ve been doing fine." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

She pressed herself harder onto me, her ample breasts rubbing against my back. Naturally, Kianah was a flirt and headstrong. I was glad the moping period was over, and her body was adapting well.

"I told you it wouldn’t happen, and you should have faith in your potion, but you refused to believe me."

She complained loudly against my left ear. It had been a surprise to me when I found out she was a seer. That was why her eyes were light grey almost white.

She had told me she couldn’t see the course of my life and it was dark as though a veil had fallen over my future. That was a relief to know.

"I apologize for my doubt."

"A kiss then?"

She was now almost choking me.

"No, I’m concentrating on Nixie, look, the tail has disappeared, only the scales have remained."

"But, she’s going to be okay, you can just give me a small kiss."

"Have you finished tending to the garden?"

She visibly shrank.

"I have it’s just that they are taking longer than usual to mature. "

"That’s okay. You just have up to the end of the week to give me new Zelph since my supply is almost running out."

I turned to Nixie and touched her still-scaled leg. The small scales glimmered softly even more beautifully than they had on the tail.

"Can you get her some clothes, it seems your transformation has come to an end."

The scales were disappearing at a visible speed, leaving her slightly pink skin. Jeneviv came back shortly later with a dress that she helped her put on.

"Can you stand up?"

I stood up with Kianah still hanging on me and extended my arm.

"I’m not really sure."

She looked around nervous her hand hanging in the air awkwardly. I held it and pulled her up.

She maintained balance for a second before slipping , i pulled her to me before she could fall.

"I can’t, my legs won’t listen."

She said sadly. I stepped back and held both her hands.

"You are like a newborn, you’ll eventually get used to your body, then you can learn to walk slowly by slowly. Everyone will help you. Right?"

The others nodded. I scooped her up and placed her on the couch a few steps away from the pool for her to rest. Panicking wouldn’t help.

"Can you get off my back, you are choking me."

I said to Kianah who refused to let me go. She shook her head.

"Fine I’ll give you a kiss, now let me go."

She chuckled and let go of my shoulders before walking around me and linking her arms around my neck.

I leaned in and took her lips, softly kissing her before letting go.

"You’ve gotten what you wanted now let go."

I unwrapped her hands around my neck and turned to leave. I had a few experiment i had to finish.

"You girls can help her learn to walk and don’t let her get into the water before she’s able to walk."

They nodded giving me their reassurance. Luna closed the door behind us cutting us off from their gazes.

"Any news about Professor Gilbert?"

I asked Luna. During the operation, she had done an exceptional job and managed to perfectly replicate the surgery.

Donovan had taken the professor back to his home, since he had been the one who kidnapped him.

"He committed suicide, the church tried to heal him buy they couldn’t. "

I chuckled.

"They’re probably asking for the God of light to end my life."

The church had withdrawn from the duchy. Mother had ordered it, or there would be bloodshed, and the buildings were sold to anyone who wanted them.

Many people in the duchy had noticed this, but there was no negative reaction, and if there were, it was done behind closed doors.

Our duchy was the best among the others since our mother was a good ruler despite being a vampire.

"Young master?"

We were stopped by one of our knights. His hands were trembling slightly but he managed to keep his posture and expression intact.

"What is it?"

I asked coldly. The knight swallowed

"The duchess has requested your presence ."

"Ooh, where is she?"

"She’s at the indoor garden. "

"You can leave."

The knight bowed and speed walked away. I chuckled at the reaction. This was something that had been happening since I was young, it baffled me how they never got over their fear of me after all these years.

’Probably because I was a vampire’

Fear was a good motivator anyway and they wouldn’t think of betrayal without thinking about the consequences.

"I’ll be taking my leave master."

Luna said and bowed. I nodded and continued forward to the left side of the castle.

What came into view the moment I turned the corner was a massive dome-shaped glass house. That was my mother’s garden.

The guard opened the glass door, and I entered the flower paradise. Red roses and red spider lilies were planted around the garden making it look like a sea of blood.

Mother was seated in the middle drinking tea. Her red dress and hair blended perfectly with the garden. She looked like she belonged.

"You called mother?"

I stood behind her chair and held her shoulders. She didn’t answer but continued to drink her rose tea.

"Sit."

She commanded. I rubbed her shoulders softly one last time and walked to my seat opposite her. I carried the seat and placed it next to her before turning to look at her.

"You are as beautiful as always mother."

She hid her smilebehindthe cup of tea. I smiled to myself.

Mother loves compliments.
