Red Like Ruby (Mostly RubyxDyrroth)

Alucard X Ruby X Granger (Terrible Smut!)

I was downcast of his departure but my two companions always found ways to cheer me up and reassured me that Roger will come back.

From then on, things proceeded normally. I would wake up, have breakfast with Alucard and Granger, finish the household chores, have lunch, and stay in the parlor conversing with my two companions entertaining ourselves with whatever activity we come up with. During the afternoons, we are all occupied with our own devices. Alucard would sometimes be polishing his sword or practicing his combat skills while Granger would be occupied playing with his violin and composing new melodies. I would be immersed in reading my books and studying whatever I deem appropriate for my mood. Sometimes I would join my companions with their activities like watching Alucard train or listening to Granger play. Usually, I would be playing chess with Roger and practicing my scythe-welding skills but with his absence, I decided to train on my own.

I would frequently venture into the forest alone challenging monsters and allowing nature to educate me. Alucard and Granger would repeatedly insist on accompanying me however I never accepted their offer and persistently explored on my own. Nevertheless, it didn't hinder them from following after me almost unnoticed. Almost.

I always know where they are but they are very good at hiding and tailing me. Sometimes I don't notice that they are there at all. It infuriated me that they don't trust my skills but I can't seem to lash out at them because they are only trying to protect me. My two guardians allowed me to do many things but they are very protective.

"Today, there's this boy in the village and he gave me flowers. He said he finds me very pretty and that he likes me it was really flattering. I feel kind of warm." I said to them as we watch the sunset while having tea. Alucard and Granger exchanged looks which I couldn't comprehend before facing me. The looks on their faces were kind of scary making me swallow my spit.

"What's his name?" Alucard asked with a smile that terrified me.

"J-Joseph. He was the boy living near the well. He said that he would like to marry me when we grow up but I rejected him. I told him that I want to be a career woman or a huntress so I don't have time for boys."

"You really are a very intelligent girl, Ruby. What you did is excellent. That's what you should say to anyone who courts you. And if they become persistent then just tell your onii-sans and we'll break their legs, okay?" Granger said with a hint of humor but I feel that there's more truth to his words than jest.

"Y-yeah. So how about you? Have you courted a girl before? Both of you are very handsome, you must have had a ton of exes." I smiled trying to change the subject.

"I've had numerous women ask me to be their boyfriend but I focused myself on my duty of eradicating demons so I don't have the time to frolic with them. Plus, they're not really my type." Alucard replied while stroking her hair with a small smile.

"So what's your type in women?"

"Well, I want someone cute and kind, caring and small, yet adventurous and brave. She should be smart with a golden heart that matches her beauty."

"Wow, she sounds amazing. I wish you find her soon so that you'll be happy." I replied innocently.

"But I'm already happy. I have you after all. You're our little princess."

"You're so silly, Alucard. What about you, Granger? What's your type?"

"I think Alucard and I have similar taste in women. A pure brave girl is something I really admire."

"Aww, it's so good that you know what you want in your partner. I still don't know what type of person I want to be with when I grow up. But I think that I want them to be nice and kind. As long as they love me and would respect my hopes and dreams anyone would do."
