Chapter 64
While Seras was watching the news, the royal palace was busy preparing. The queen was dressed and prepared for the event, and many guards were briefed on escape routes and backup plans in case anything went wrong.
After the queen was fully prepared, she was left alone in her chambers to rest before leaving. Ono sighed, remembering the conversation with the young vampire.
"I'm bait? She's really using the queen as bait? How funny, she looks so much like you." The queen muttered to herself before walking over to the table and taking out an old photo.
"In that photo, there was a younger version of the queen, about 15-16 years old, and a raven-haired girl with an adorable smile on her face.
"I remember you using me as bait that day, but you never warned me beforehand. I guess, I guess it required femininity, even if you were in that guise at the time. - With a smile full of nostalgia, she kissed the photo and returned it to its place. Then she sat down on the luxurious sofa and began to wait for the time when it would be time to leave.
Meanwhile in Hellsing.
- Bliiiiiiiin, why does time go so slowly when you wait! - I grumbled, looking at the time in the corner of the news 18:55. - 5 more minutes.
Meanwhile, the news anchor was broadcasting on the TV - It looks like the queen has just left the palace with her escort. Many, including me, are waiting for the announcement she wants everyone to hear. In fact, I just got the message that the number of viewers has reached an astronomical 88%. That means 88% of the country's population is watching right now... And it seems like this number is growing with every minute. This is going to be the best night of my life! - The anchor was so excited that he spoke his thoughts out loud.
With each passing minute my excitement grew stronger and stronger, and I began to tap my foot, and when the clock finally showed 19:00, I jumped up excitedly, and a powerful explosion was heard in the Tower.
- What's going on?! Is it really a terrorist attack?! - the host shouted worriedly.
- Yes, yes! It really happened! - I shouted in delight, because this is the first time I used foresight to choose options for action to achieve a certain situation and it worked!
Meanwhile, Integra grinned just as confidently, seeing the explosion.
- It looks like the saboteurs fell into the mousetrap that we kindly set for them.
The entire mansion was seething with the attack. And literally a few minutes later, Lieutenant Fox and his squad were sent to the tower. And I sat on the couch waiting for when I could finally go out and hummed to myself while cleaning my pistols. And yes, even though I was looking into the future, so as not to spoil the surprise for myself, I limited myself to making sure that there was an enemy.
- Ready to go, policewoman? - Alucard asked, slowly emerging from the shadow that fell on the wall.
- Of course, my master. - I answered, ignoring how my tail swayed excitedly from side to side.
- Okay, Integra is waiting for us. Let's go. - Having said this, he disappeared into the shadows, and I followed.
We both appeared in Integra's office, and she looked at us with unwavering confidence.
- It looks like you're having fun, Seras. - She noticed my state.
- I just haven't had any tasks for a long time. - I answered.
- It's true, well, at least I'm glad you're not laughing like crazy right now. - the woman looked at Alucard suggestively.
- Give her a little time, and I'm sure it will happen. - the vampire chuckled cheerfully.
- Okay, let's let it go. - Integra shook her head. - I want you two to be ready if something goes wrong in the Tower.
- What about the queen? - Alucard asked.
- She will arrive soon.
- H-here? - Walter asked, shocked.
- Yes Walter, this event was just a trap, she will arrive here soon with the rest of the knights.
- I see, so this farce is needed to pull this "Millenium" out of the shadows. - Alucard said.
- Yes, her majesty is really smart, to come up with such an effective plan in such a short time.
"Heh-heh, it's always nice when you are praised. Even if they don't know that this was my plan." - I thought with a proud grin.
- She was always smart. – Alucard joined in the praise, although I'm almost certain he was talking about me.
Alucard rarely praises people, so naturally Integra was interested, but before she could say anything, the live broadcast began to move.
- This? A convoy of military vehicles just arrived, and a group of soldiers are entering. I don't recognize this designation, it doesn't look like they belong to any official branch of government. – the news anchor said.
- Ah, it looks like Lieutenant Fox and his men have arrived.
- Sir, are you sure it was worth sending them without Seras and Alucard? – Walter asked.
- Yes, now their task is to reconnoiter the situation, if there are just chipped vampires there, they can handle it themselves, but their main task is simply to make sure that the enemy really is there and retreat, in case of an opponent that is too strong for them.
- He-he-he, it looks like these people you are so sure of will die. - Alucard said with an ominous chuckle.
- What?
- Look. - He pointed to a lone figure that, standing on top of one of the towers, got into the lens of the camera that was installed on the news helicopter. I recognized him at first sight, it was Incognito, Ingegra looked just in time to see him pull out a grenade launcher from under his cloak and fire. After which the connection with the image transmission from the scene was interrupted.
- What was that?! - Integra jumped up.
- This, my master, was a real vampire.
- A real vampire?! The same as the one that killed Seras? Where did these bastards get such a thing?!
- Oh no, this one is not like the one that the Policewoman killed, this vampire is much stronger. - Alucard grinned in anticipation.
- Looks like it's time for the policewoman and I to go? - asked the vampire, whose smile had become quite provocative.
- Alucard, Victoria Seras, listen to my order. FIND AND DESTROY! Not a single carrion should be left alive!
- Yes sir!
- It will be done, mistress.
