Crimson Blood Castle, Governor's Palace of Byrne, Conference Room.

A simple long table, a few chairs, heavy curtains blocked the light from the windows, and the gloomy room was lit only by fluorite lamps overhead and candlesticks on the tables—no different from the cabinet hall of the Heavenly Dome.

The gloomy Governor Gaspar sat at the top of the long table, or he never left—never since that night, when his "pet" left the palace of the Red Blood Keep.

Empty wine glasses and bottles, dust in the air, bloodshot whites of the eyes and darkened circles under the eyes can say a lot.

From that night on, he never heard a single piece of good news.

What took months to complete a good situation began to deteriorate rapidly within a day... What the hell is going on here, and why is it happening like this?!

That Turin family... The Turin family, who was only a shell and had to rely on a woman to fill the façade and was manipulated by themselves at will, actually regained control of the entire Red Blood Castle overnight, and let half a year's hard work come to naught!

For several days in a row, his eyeliner in the Red Blood Castle was assassinated one after another, no matter how he sent someone to track down, he couldn't find a trace of evidence, the murderer seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was not even a witness who could be found!

As for the investigation of the Earlguard, it is even more ridiculous - except for a few who looked like they were assassinated by the enemy, all the others were pressed on the head of the "vampire"!

On the table was a handwritten letter from the Countess of Turin, saying that vampires were wreaking havoc, and asking the Doge's Palace to be vigilant... What a liar!

And because of the murders of the past few months, the nobles and commoners of the Red Blood Castle have also become "accustomed" to this kind of thing - at least for ten days, no one will blame the Count for the vampire's problems.

She must have found out about that woman, and the assassination of eyeliner must have been done by an assassin from the Turin family... But he couldn't debunk her lies and deceptions, so he didn't tie his hands and feet, so he had to swallow the bitter fruit silently.

Not to mention the fact that there is an even more serious problem in front of him as Governor of Byrne, and that is his "pet" ... I haven't come back yet.

That night... What the hell is going on?!

Why are Charlotte Turin and Loren Turin still alive?!

Why hasn't that beast been heard from yet?!

Was it killed by them, or... Still is... Still is......

Suddenly, Governor Gaspar was in a state of panic, his eyes almost bloodshot under his frowning brow, and his crossed fingers clasped the back of his hand so hard that his knuckles turned white.

The loss of that monster was nothing to worry about, and even made Governor Gaspar breathe a sigh of relief, after all, this kind of thing is a problem in itself - although it is invincible, it is not a hole card that can be played out openly.

What really worries him is the "adult" who handed over the monster to himself... If his relationship with him is discovered, even His Highness Conod will definitely not be able to protect himself!

No... If there really is such a day, His Royal Highness will definitely confess himself as soon as possible - with his understanding of Conod, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be able to do this kind of thing!

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A gentle knock on the door brought the sweaty Governor Gaspar to his senses from his fright, and he looked up suddenly, and a middle-aged man about his age walked in.

A delicate purple thorn pattern satin robe, a sapphire ring on the thumb of the right hand, and a sterling silver belt buckle... This person's worth is described as "luxury".

"You shouldn't have come. Governor Gaspar sighed and stared at the ceiling with godless eyes: "Now there are patrols of the Turin family everywhere outside, and their 'vampires'... Are you so not afraid of death, Roger Yord?"

"Patrol, Count Crimson Castle lifted martial law in the city yesterday. ”

Roger Yord, the head of the Yode family and the president of the Yord Chamber of Commerce, shook his head: "As for the vampires... If that 'little girl' Count really wants my life, will she be safe from hiding at home?"

Gaspar's expression became even more ugly, and he beckoned for the other to sit down, and filled him with a new bottle of wine, sighing and pouring himself a glass.

Roger Yoder is the absolute leader of the Yode Chamber of Commerce, and the only ally he can trust absolutely - the Yoder Chamber of Commerce relies on the power in his own hands to grow, and the Yord Chamber of Commerce, which controls the economy and the flow of resources in Byrne, also gives itself more power, forcing the disobedient counts to recognize their status.

The union of interests and the marriage between the two families have brought the relationship between the two sides close to the level of an alliance.

Although the other party said that it was okay, since he could come to him at the risk of being assassinated, it meant that the situation outside was so serious that it was out of control.

"By the way, the matter of your son little Yode... I haven't apologized to you yet. Governor Gaspar, who was holding his wine glass, sighed, and his embarrassed face became even more helpless: "I didn't expect that such a bold fanatic would dare to attack even the warships of the Governor's Palace!"

"Don't talk about the past, after all, it's not something you can avoid. Roger Yode's face darkened, and he returned to normal in the next second: "A son who has made the family and the Chamber of Commerce lose face, and he just doesn't need me to do it when he dies!"

"What really matters right now is your prestige, Governor of Byrne—if things continue like this, Gaspar will be completely ruined in the Red Blood Castle!"

"I'm a Byrne, and I know best how Byrnes think... The Byrnes call themselves noble and proud, but in fact the vast majority of people are simple and terrible, especially those civilians! In their world, there are only two kinds of differences: good and bad, and every radiant knight must be surrounded by a stupid villain, this is the way the Byrians understand things!"

"The House of Turin has ruled this place for thousands of years, and in their eyes they are the most radiant knights, even if the Count is a woman - the wiser she is in the eyes of the damned untouchables, the more stupid you are, the more merciful she is, the more evil you are, and the nobles who are on the wall to make waves... If you let her continue to invite people like this, you'll be finished!"

"Not to mention that this is the Red Blood Castle, where Byrne's capital and court have been for thousands of years, and what happened here can spread throughout the principality in less than a month...... Ten days, we have to do something!"

Roger Yord was still spitting impassionedly, but Governor Gaspar's face was getting darker...... The one who said these words was someone else, and he would have dragged the other party out and hanged him a long time ago.

But... The other party is the president of the Yode Chamber of Commerce, and he is absolutely irreplaceable ally, not to mention that what he said is not wrong... Gaspar, who had an ugly face, took a drink from his wine glass, and his face was gloomy:

"That's... What do you say?"

"The current situation is that both sides are tacitly aware of each other, but neither wants to nor can they break it... So, what we have to do is to accompany them to play this drama. ”

Roger Yord, who had been talking for a long time, took a sip of wine and sighed: "Anyway... You are the Governor of Byrne, the authority and face of the Empire in Byrne, and there must be no stain on your body - if there is, it must be discarded immediately, and you must not be soft. ”

As the words fell, Governor Gaspar's face became even more ugly... He had understood what Roger Yoder meant.

The current situation is no longer something that can be casually revealed, someone must bear all the responsibility for the black cauldron, and if you can't, then you have to find another substitute for the dead ghost.

After all, during the "Vampire Rage", both the nobles inside the city and the commoners outside the city were hurt too badly... Extortion, coercion, what should be done and what should not be done... During this time, the Governor's Palace has done too much.

And right now, in the Governor's Palace, there is an excellent candidate for the black cauldron......

"The Overseer of the Doge's Palace, the wandering knight named Nilton. Roger Yord looked at Governor Gaspar with a meaningful gaze:

"I have heard that the little girl Count hates him to the core... What do you think?"
