Ruth took a pleasant bath after returning to his room from the forest. Otto, the princess of Gary, died tragically, and probably tomorrow morning, the king would be forced to hand Alan over to the Council of Elders under pressure from both Gary and the Elders.

When the time comes...... Ruth poured a glass of wine and drank it silently. Thanks to Winnie's help in the blood clearance. The three-stage blood clearance brought a great deal of magical backlash, so they were able to successfully raid Allen. And while he is injured, let Prince Meg's subordinates briefly awaken the vampire side that belongs to him, so that when he wakes up after sucking blood, not only will he not recover his magic power, but he will also fall into the predicament of not knowing how to explain his fangs.

Ruth shook his glass at the moon and waited for the dawn, he was looking forward to the man watching his loved one die in front of him, and he was in prison again.

The next morning came the news that Duke Allen and Princess Eve were about to get engaged. Ruth had smashed almost everything in the house, and he hadn't gotten rid of it.

Equally shocked was Eve herself.

"Brother, brother, please...... I don't want to. It was only Eve and Brandt, who looked at her brother pleading and shook her head, "I don't want to marry him." ”

Alan secretly hid in the next room, quietly listening to their conversation.

"You have done what only husband and wife can do with him, so naturally you have to marry him." There was irresistible pressure in Brant's gentle words, "What's more, Alan didn't do it on purpose, he was attacked by the other party and lost his control. But you like each other yourself, and he promised to take responsibility for it, so don't be upset because you're upset. ”

"No, brother." Eve didn't know how to explain to him, she hadn't recovered from those blood-red eyes yet, she only begged her brother not to get engaged so soon, and gave her time to calm down, "Can you ...... Can you help me keep this under wrap and don't let anyone know. Please, brother. “

But Brandt has his own plans, and he doesn't want to be disrupted because of Eve's non-cooperation, "Otto knows about you and Allen, from the king and queen to the royal family, almost half of them. And how can the envoys and retinue of Gary who followed us to Otto this time hide it? Marriage is the best solution, otherwise it will be a new royal scandal. Although these news were spread by his retinue. In order to force Otto to make concessions and agree to the marriage.

"But my brother ...... He's, he's a vampire. Eve couldn't help but cry, with the stress she hadn't been able to get rid of since last night.

Allen, who was hiding in the shadows, lowered his head, his eyes were already slightly red, but he still left silently.

Because she was destined to live her life in the Dragon's Cave from birth, the king and queen of Gary did not teach Eve too much of the darkness of the court, politics, and governance, but let her live happily and simply to this day. Eve grew up in Gary, a city of white magic, and received the most orthodox education. Although she can accept black magic and necromantic creatures, and she also likes Ellen, she never thought about it...... It never occurred to me that I would have to spend the rest of my life with a vampire with fangs. Tears rolled down, and Eve looked at Brant crying, "Brother, I like him, but I'm scared, I'm so scared...... You make me think again, don't make the marriage happen now, give me some time. ”

"Don't be afraid, good ...... Eve is not afraid. Brandt took a handkerchief to help her gently wipe away her tears, like comforting Eve who had nightmares as a child, "Don't be afraid, he's not a vampire...... What you saw that night was a fake design by the vampires who attacked him and Otto's politicians and enemies. Duke Allen likes you so much, it's too late to hurt you and spoil you after marriage, how can he do something that hurts you. ”

"He's got fangs, and his eyes turn red, just like those vampires." Eve trembled and untied the necklace around her neck to cover her tooth holes, pointing to the two healing tooth marks, "Brother, he also bit me." In case, in case I become a vampire ......"

"Listen to Eve, no." Brandt fastened the necklace for her, covering the two tooth holes from being seen, "This matter is non-negotiable, since your chastity has been given to him, you must marry him." Again, this matter is non-negotiable. ”

Eve stiffened her neck and slowly raised her head, she couldn't even breathe, she looked at Brant in a daze, not understanding why he said it so deadly, "Brother, isn't there any other way?" If chastity would bring shame on Gari, I will move to the monastery as soon as I return to Gary...... I will stay in it for the rest of my life and not come out, let alone get married. ”

"Ridiculous." Brandt let go of Eve, as if he didn't want to waste any more words with her, "This is the case. I'll have Lloyd pick you up later, and you, as Otto's daughter-in-law, must go and see the king and queen, and then we'll leave for Gary and tell your parents about it. ”

"Brother......" Eve couldn't believe that this was Brandt's brother, who had loved her since she was a child. She couldn't understand his insistence. Eve stood still, breathing with a dull ache.

"Wash your face well and clean yourself up." Eve's eyes were already red from crying, and there were faint dark circles under her eyes, "Don't appear outside with a haggard face, you still represent Gari's face." ”

********

After Brandt left Eve's room, he met Elder Ruth, who had come to him.

"Fortunately, Elder Ruth." Ruth had a gloomy face, his original plan was all ruined, not only could he not bring down Alan, but he might also offend Prince Meg of the Blood Clan, after all, he promised Prince Meg that he would put Eren under house arrest and never hinder his plan.

"Good morning, Your Highness Brandt." Ruth pointed to Brandt's door, "I have something to say to you, is it convenient for you now?" ”

"Yes, but not too long." "I'll come back and get something," said Brandt, "and when I'm done, I'm going to take Eve to see His Majesty." This is the first marriage between Otto and Gary in history, and Eve has only one brother by her side, so there are many related trivial matters that need to be implemented by me. Unfortunately, there was no time left to sit down for a cup of tea with Elder Ruth. ”

Ruth squinted at Brandt, "Your Highness Brandt, what are you singing about?" ”

"Oh no, it's not that I sang anything, I did everything exactly as Elder Ruth told me." Brant opened the door, and Ruth followed, and he said, "I went to the forest with the guards and found their location, but things are not as you said, you sue me, Eren will suck Eve's blood dry, but when I passed, they only had an X relationship." Eve didn't say anything, and the scandal of them having a husband and wife spread all over Otto. You know...... Gary is a conservative place, and if a woman does something like this before marriage, she will be punished severely. In this case, I can only agree to Her Royal Highness's request for the two of them to get married. ”

"You're saying that Eren isn't bloodlined?" Ruth was stunned.

"Yes." Brant changed his clothes, "That's the thing, I shouldn't stay here longer, Elder Ruth should hurry back." If you are caught infiltrating the castle with the Blood, you will have to bother not only to appease the Blood, but also to deal with the reproach of the king and queen. ”

Ruth glanced at Brant, as if he was unwilling, but left quickly and thoughtfully.

Brant looked at Lloyd, who had been waiting to the side early in the morning, and he wanted to stop talking, "What do you want to ask?" ”

"Your Highness, from the beginning, you had no intention of cooperating with Elder Ruth, did you?"

"Yes." Brandt didn't shy away from it, "Working with someone as cunning and sinister as Bill Ruth is tantamount to conspiring with a tiger." However, when two tigers want a skin, it is destined that one tiger can get it, and the other tiger can only watch stupidly. And I, of course, was the tiger who got the skin. ”

Brant wants Alan to inherit the magic of Queen Catherine, but if he goes down according to Ruth's plan, not only will he lose Eve's sister, but Alan will also be taken away and imprisoned by Otto's Elders, and whether he can get his magic after that depends on what Bill Ruth does. No matter how fanciful Ruth is, he promises to let Brant get what he wants. can be as shrewd as Brandt, how can he lightly hand over the initiative to others. So from the beginning, he wouldn't let Eren suck Eve's blood dry, but would try to take Eren under his command and leave the Elders' House in his field of vision.

This marriage is a wonderful opportunity. Brandt thought that as long as Eren liked Eve, he would have a way to drag Alan's footsteps through Gary's territory. As long as others are in Gari, he has time to figure out how to get his magic.

"Your Highness Eve......" Lloyd bowed his head unwillingly.

"Want to drive some, Lloyd." Brandt patted him on the shoulder, "Eve likes Eren herself, and even if this doesn't happen, she will be with Alan." This marriage itself is the result of the two of them falling in love. But Lloyd, don't be sad about it. You are the heir of the Black family, my most trusted courtier, you know how to advance and retreat, you must have the brightest career and the most ambitious prospects, in the future, you can choose from the marriageable girls of Gary, you can find a better one sooner or later. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Lloyd gritted his teeth and silently uttered the words.

********

Alan was devastated when he left Eve's room, and he walked quietly on the path with a light rain.

My mind gradually recalled many years ago, when he was about five years old, when his magic first awakened.

It was a celebration at the Imperial Palace, and I can't remember what the celebration was because of the long time it was. Bill Ruth's mother was a court lady at the time, and she was ordered by Alyssa to take Alan to the dinner hall.

Ruth's mother was a very gentle person, and she took Alan's chubby hand and walked slowly through the garden, meeting many young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families along the way, including Ruth's sister Heidi and his fiancée Jenna.

Alan was very cute when he was a child, with a meaty face and watery eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he could make a bunch of sisters and aunts feel full of hearts, and stuff him with different foods. It is also for this reason that Alan eats roundly.

They walked forward together, probably as they passed the flower shelf, when Alan suddenly felt a twitch in his heart, and he knelt on the ground as if he had been beaten from behind, his pupils constricted and dilated, and his hands laboriously supported the concrete floor and gasped.

"What's going on, Your Highness Allen?" Ruth's mother saw that something had happened to him, and quickly squatted down, but met a pair of big red eyes, which frightened him into thinking that His Royal Highness had been cast some evil magic.

"Jenna, go get the doctor over." Ruth's mother helped Eren wipe the sweat that had fallen to the ground, and at the same time told Jenna worriedly.

"Yes, I'll go."

Allen's chubby hand covered the part of the heart, as if there were many needles pricking it, piercing it and pulling it out, pulling it out, coming out, and it hurt so much that he just wanted to dig out the heart and throw it away. He couldn't hear other people's voices, only remembered that his eyes were gradually dilated, and his vision was blurred and he had lost the ability to focus.

Before Jenna had left a few steps away, she heard the childish cry of Eren after being in great pain, and then, a huge wave of magic power hit like a tsunami, Jenna's eyes widened in horror, and before her body could react, she was swept to the ground by the "tsunami". She stared blankly at the blue sky, blood slowly flowing from the corners of her mouth, and she could never stand up again.

When little Allen regained consciousness, all that was left was corpses strewn around. Bill Ruth's mother's was at his feet, along with her four-year-old daughter, Heidi. He rubbed his big eyes, which were still painful, with his little fat hand, thinking that he had seen it wrong, his long eyelashes blinked, and he looked at the garden blankly and bewilderedly, those palace maids and attendants who were still busy a second ago all fell to the ground at this moment, and bright red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, dripping on the ground.

"Who?" The first to arrive at the scene were the eldest son, Fred, and a group of guards, who felt the violent fluctuations of magic in the garden from a distance, thinking that someone had broken into the palace to make trouble. But when he arrived at the scene, he found his youngest brother Alan standing in the center of the corpse with a pair of red eyes peculiar to the blood clan. He looked confused, but the fierce murderous aura and violent magic fluctuations around his round body proved that he was responsible for the tragedy in the garden.

"Monster, he's a monster......" Fred couldn't help but murmur, but the word "monster" was still captured by Humpty Dumpty Allen, who had good hearing. He opened his big clear but red eyes, and saw his eldest brother looking at him with a pair of monster eyes, full of defense, vigilance, faint fear and disgust, he felt insecure, so he took up his little short legs and ran forward, and called out childishly, "Brother Fred." ”

"Arrest him." As if he had seen something dirty, Fred quickly took two steps back and ordered the guards behind him, "Tie it up immediately and take it to Your Majesty." ”

Little Allen watched aggrievedly as the guards tied up his little fat hands and short legs with special ropes, tied them to the king and queen and knelt down to admit his mistakes, and were taken to the House of Elders, where the elders locked him in a small black room made of meteoric iron, or Elder Big Ruth let him out a few days later, he touched his beard and said four words leisurely, "Hehe...... Atavism. ”

At that time, Alan was still young and did not understand the meaning of atavism, and he looked up at Elder Daruth in confusion, and returned to his room with the trembling palace maid on his short legs.

Although the tragedy in the garden was ordered by the king not to be mentioned, he suddenly became like an island in the middle of the ocean. When he looked at others with big watery eyes, almost everyone looked back at him with defensive eyes, and every palace maid did not dare to speak to him, and when they passed him, they also came and went in a hurry, and they were careful and vigilant.

He also had no playmates, for no nobleman would want to send his children to such a terrible man. Even if little Allen walked on his short legs and went to play with other children with delicious food, he would watch the other party be led away by the maid they brought, and warned him to stay away from him as he went. ”

As for every time he met Bill Ruth, he would look at him with hatred and curse him over and over again, "You're a horrible little monster." Little Allen looked at him with the toy in his arms, blinking his eyes wide and turning his back in a gloomy way.

However, the monster little Alan was sent by Elder Ruth to Otto's greatest magician, Master Charles Morse, to learn dark magic because of his atavistic talent, and at the age of 25, he broke through the threshold that many magicians could not break through in their lifetime and became a legend, and since then he has lived a solitary life in a remote castle.

Evee can be retrieved from the Dragon's Cave, and although he doesn't want anyone to interfere with his life at first, he has to admit that it's a beautiful obstacle.

He was rarely looked at with trust like Eve.

Alan walked halfway and abruptly turned back to Eve's room. He burst into the door, took the panicked Eve in his arms, and whispered, "I can control it, Eve." You believe me, I won't do anything bad...... You don't want me. ”

Eve's blood was flowing backwards all over her body, and her words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't speak, and she was stunned and hugged by Alan tighter and tighter.

Alan kissed the top of her hair, hugged the person he cherished the most, and asked over and over again, "You won't be like them, will you?" …… Isn't it Eve? I like you, you won't want mine. You won't, won't, won't? ”
