Chapter 11: Siblings
Mercedes currently had plenty of chocolate and canned goods on hand, which apparently had been offered to her by Trein Industries. They were a token of appreciation to the inventor and had accordingly been free. Now, she had exactly what she wanted without having to spend a penny.
In any case, dungeoneering had gotten a whole lot easier. With Kuro, the new member of their party, they had garnered the strength to venture into the dungeonâs depths. For now, Mercedes set her sights on the floor that Treinâs guards had made it to. But of course, she would turn back the moment she sensed trouble.
Just as Mercedes had put together this plan and was ready to head out, she encountered a group of unfamiliar kids standing outside her house, two boys and two girls. Based on appearances, they ranged in age from under ten to late teens. The most eye-catching of the group was so huge he towered over Mercedes and seemed to be in his college years. The second largest of them appeared to be middle-school age, while both girls seemed to be ten years old or younger. But since the age of a vampire couldnât be deduced accurately based on appearances alone, she couldnât truly be sure.
âYouâre Mercedes Grunewald, yeah?â
âWho are you?â
âPeople under the same circumstances as you, if you get my drift. Weâre Grunewalds.â
The boy who seemed to be middle school aged revealed their identities. He seemed to be the groupâs leader, and had short, crimson hair and a light in his eyes as sharp as a beastâs.
âSo youâre the children of concubines.â
âExactly. Weâre your siblings.â
Mercedes and her mother could be abandoned by Bernhard Grunewald at any time, and based on the dilapidated state of their manor, her motherâs position in the harem was quite low. But that didnât mean the other concubines were treated better. In gathering to tell Mercedes that they were under the same circumstances as her, they were revealing the precariousness of their own situations as well.
âThe nameâs Boris Grunewald. Iâm fourteen, the oldest of this group.â
Apparently, the first boy who had spoken was the eldest. He did look to be about as old as he stated, meaning he had yet to reach his perpetual age. And if he was the oldest, it was safe to assume he was the leader.
The next to speak was the tall, most conspicuous member of the group. âGottfried Grunwald. Thirteen.â
Mercedes thought to herself, Isnât he a bit too grown? but didnât say it out loud. True, a vampireâs age couldnât be judged based on appearances alone, but this guy was a mystery for the opposite reason. No matter how you looked at him, he had to be seventeen or eighteen. Hell, she would have believed it if he said he was twenty.
âIâm Monika Grunewald, and I am nine.â She was the most kempt of the group and had blonde ringlets that suited her face well. Based on her attire, her mother must have had quite a high position in the harem.
