Chapter 5: Scarlet Xitai
The gorgeous bathroom is very large, brightly lit, and richly decorated, reflecting the luxurious life of the blood nobles, on the edge of this wide bath, two maids are washing a small and thin body, they are also vampires, but they are not members of the Xitai royal family, not even the nobles with titles, but from the common family of vampires.

The direct bloodline of the royal family is scarce after all, and the vast majority of vampires are commoners, although their ancestors may have been one of the thirteen royal families of vampires, but after generations of reproduction, their royal bloodlines have become thin and mottled and mixed.
Although there are some civilian vampires who can earn the title of nobility by working hard to improve their strength or contribute to the blood clan, the vast majority of civilian vampire families can only survive in this cruel world by relying on nobles.
Because the strength of the blood clan comes from blood, their bloodline theory is not a boring idea of concept and inferiority, but a symbol of real strength.
The purer the bloodline. The more noble it is, the stronger the ability of the bloodline, and the stronger it will be in the future.
Although the Bloodline can improve its bloodline through continuous cultivation, there is still an insurmountable gap between the royal family and the commoners.
The two maids were washing the body of the thin little boy, and the little boy was still silent, like marionettes, and the two maids were still drenched, soaking their clothes, as if they were trying to endure the pain, and every time they touched the little boy's body it was like an electric shock, and their hands trembled.
Squeak..... The bathroom door opened, and Sander walked in, frowning at the sight of the two men
"Go down..."
"Yes"
The two maids quickly left the bathroom as if they had fled, and Sander tore off his bow tie as he walked up to the little boy, took off the waiter's coat, rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, and washed the boy with his own hands.
"Can you tell me your name?"
Tander's voice echoed through the empty bathroom and disappeared in a few moments, but the boy remained silent, unresponsive.
As Sander continued what he was doing, he spoke, unresponsive, as if talking to himself.
"Hundreds of years ago, I was just like you, but after tonight, you may be like me....."
"This thing is already doomed, there is no way to change it, you can only accept ....."
"Although I don't know anything about you, I know that you want to live, so I dodged the dagger, if the little princess and you are still alive after tonight, then please live with a new identity...."
"Hope to be your family, children......"
"If it's safe, the little princess will trouble you in the future...."
――――――――――――――――
Norman came to the outside of a room, knocked lightly with his hand, and in a few moments the door opened, and a small figure sprang into Norman's arms.
"Father!"
This is a little girl, with the appearance of four or five years old, the long black hair hangs down on the waist like the quiet water at night, the face is as cute as a porcelain doll, and she laughs happily when she sees her father, showing her small fangs, no matter who sees it, she will feel pity, and her small and cute appearance is like a marshmallow, sweet and healing.
However, the color of her pupils was different from her father's red, it was a kind of black, as clear as night, neither deep nor dark, but it was surprising that black could shine brightly.
"Hug!"
Norman smiled, picked up his little body, let her sit on the crook of his arm, and said gently, "Scarlet! Is it okay for Father to take you to a place? ”
"Good~~~!"
Then Norman left his castle-like home with Scarlet in his arms, and walked along the mountain path through the twilight forest. Although the trees of the twilight forest are towering, they can still pass through the light, and the blood clans who have lived here for generations have continuously transformed their habitats into habitable through various magic circles, which can block the blazing light of the sun, making the daytime in the forest as if it is always cloudy, and the sun cannot be seen, but at night it can make the moonlight and starlight sprinkle on the land wantonly.
Norman just hugged Scarlet and walked on the star-studded path.
Scarlet doesn't know what's ahead, only that she is in her father's arms, just like in her own cradle.
With my father here, I'm really not afraid of anything.
But for Norman, the road ahead may lead to hell, a blood clan that has lived for hundreds of years, a high-minded, shrewd and capable family master, and the moment he really picked up this small body, the fear that he had felt for hundreds of years that he had long forgotten gradually spread from his heart......
Through the forest, we came to a secluded and empty area halfway up the mountainside, and at some point a small house was built, although it was only two floors, but it looked very exquisite, and the surrounding area was sparsely populated, and the environment was quiet and quiet.
Norman hugged Scarlet, came to the house, and said softly to Scarlet: "This will be your home from now on, do you like it here?" ”
Scarlet still said in that sweet and soft voice: "I like ~~~ I like everything my father gave me~~!" ”
Norman faced his daughter's gentle words, he didn't know what to say for a while, and he didn't even know what expression to make, he lowered his head to prevent Scarlet from seeing his face, and walked into the house with Scarlet in his arms. He put down the scarlet in his arms, took her little hand, came to the second floor, and gently pushed open the door of a room.
In this room, a huge magic circle is painted on the ground, and in the center of the magic array, there is a little boy with a naked upper body, the boy's hands are firmly bound by chains, and the other end of the chain, connected to the left and right walls, the tight chains make him open his arms, and the traces of the magic array spread from the ground to the boy's body, and the boy still lowered his head and was silent.
Norman interrupted Scarlet's curious gaze, pointed to the small figure in the center of the room, and said to her seriously: "This is the most precious gift your father has given you, and he will be your dependent!" ”
Scarlet stared at him with wide eyes and asked curiously, "What is a dependent?" ”
Norman smiled: "Dependents are the people closest to you in the future." ”
"Are dependents husband and wife?"
"It's not that superficial thing...."Norman gently stroked the crimson hair, and said gently: "Husband and wife may be separated, love may wither, and for us Xitai people, a person will only have one dependent, until the end of one party's life, always with you, never abandoned." ”
"Dependents are your dearest, half of your body, and your dependents are yourself..."
