Master of Lust-Chapter 203: Get Rid Of Old Matriarch [1]
Chapter - 203
After parting ways with the Gloria and his new friend Qasim at their table, Rick sauntered over to the nearby table where the old matriarch held court, a regal figure amidst the bustling café. Taking a seat next to her but still maintaining a respectful distance, Rick couldn't help but study her with a mix of fascination and caution.
The sunlight poured in through the window, casting a warm glow over everything it touched, including the old woman's delicate pearl necklace, which seemed to shimmer with its own inner light.
Rick's eyes flickered with intrigue as the sunlight danced off the necklace, creating a mesmerizing display. Despite the intensity of the rays, the old woman remained stoic, unaffected by the glare. She sat there, a picture of serenity amidst the chaos of the café, completely at ease with herself and her surroundings.
This unexpected sight stirred something within Rick, igniting a spark of curiosity that he couldn't ignore.

'Wasn't the old witch a Vampire?' He was known of the fact, that the old matriarch was not a human, but a deadly creature residing on the planet since hundreds of years. His thoughts were getting realistic, leading him to entertain his curiosity, that even after being the vampire, she wasn't affected by the deadly sunlight.
'Were the old fairy-tales wrong? Those fuckers! They would just fart anything,' Rick couldn't help but doubt himself. He didn't notice it earlier, but seeing her now, in the flesh, it was hard to believe that she was anything other than human, not affected by sunlight.
"Quite the day we are having, huh old Matriarch?" Rick remarked casually, trying to mask the curiosity bubbling beneath the surface. "You seem to be handling the sunlight pretty well for someone who's, uh, been around as long as you have."
"What do you mean, young man?" The old matriarch raised a perfectly arched eyebrow, her voice carrying a hint of amusement as she fixed Rick with a steady gaze.
Rick's curiosity burned brighter, fueled by the mystery that surrounded the old woman. With a gulp, he couldn't resist delving deeper into the enigma before him.
"Sorry if I am being nosy esteemed Old Matriarch, but I couldn't help but notice how the sunlight seems to treat you differently," Rick spoke with his tone teasing and tinged with curiosity. "I mean, isn't it true that, uh, beings of your... lineage tend to avoid the whole daylight thing?"
The old woman regarded Rick with a knowing smile, her eyes betraying centuries of experience and weariness. Before she could respond, Geoffrey, who had been silently observing the exchange, decided to interject himself into the conversation. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Leaning in with an air of authority, he addressed Rick with a tone that hinted at hidden truths.
"Easy there, lad," Geoffrey cautioned, his voice carrying a warning that sent a shiver down Rick's spine. "Some things are better left untouched, if you catch my drift."
But Rick, emboldened by his insatiable curiosity and perhaps a dash of recklessness, refused to back down. He leaned in closer, his eyes locking with Geoffrey's in a silent challenge.
"What if I want to know the truth," Rick pressed, his voice filled slightly with the weight of his curiosity.
Geoffrey leaned in closer, his gaze taking on a strange, almost chilling intensity. "And just who do you think the Blood Thorne family really is?" he asked, his voice laced with mystery and a hint of danger.
Rick swiveled in his seat, fixing Geoffrey with a cocky smirk. "A family indebted to yours truly," he declared with a hint of swagger, his eyes gleaming with mischief.
Geoffrey's grin faltered, replaced by a scowl as he narrowed his eyes at Rick. "What the hell did you say, you little rat?" he spat, his voice laced with venom as he leaned in closer, fists clenched at his sides.
Sensing the tension thickening like fog around them, the old woman decided it was time to step in. With a graceful yet commanding gesture, she redirected the focus to Rick, her expression unreadable as she regarded him with cool detachment, crossing her legs with a graceful ease.
"What exactly did you mean," she began, her voice cutting through the charged atmosphere like a knife, "when you mentioned wanting Evelina to 'deal with' me?"
Rick, never one to shy away from a confrontation, leaned back in his chair with a confidence bordering on arrogance. With a smug grin, he unfolded his arms and met the old woman's gaze head-on
"Oh, it's simple, really," he drawled, his tone dripping with arrogance. "I just think it's high time for a changing of the guard in the BloodThorne family. Your reign has had its day, my dear matriarch. It's high time for a new era, one where your children can step up and fulfill their true potential.
I think it's time for fresh blood to take the reins and steer the BloodThrone family in a new direction."
"But doesn't look like your children have any of your genes," Rick shook his head as he looked at Geoffrey and sounded disappointed, "Looks like the apple fell pretty far from the tree with your lot,"
The old woman's patience wore thin, her annoyance evident in the way her features tightened. She leaned forward, her eyes piercing as she demanded clarification. "And what exactly do you mean by that?" she demanded, her voice tinged with a hint of annoyance, her brow furrowed in confusion.
Rick forged ahead, his conviction lending strength to his words as he spoke with unwavering determination. "It's simple, really," he declared, his tone firm and resolute. "Evelina possesses qualities that are sorely lacking in your descendants. She's a force to be reckoned with—strong, capable, and willing to do whatever it takes to ensure the family's legacy."
With a pointed look, Rick continued, "It's time for you to take a step back, dear matriarch, and focus on nurturing the next generation. Let Evelina take the reins and lead the Blood Thorne family into a new era of prosperity."
"With Evelina."
