051 Wedding
After further agreement with Lothar, Aphro returned to the castle. Primo soon finds her and asks about the disappearance of the guards during the hunt.
Remembering Lothar's instructions, Aphro said to Primo, "While I was hunting, the captain of the guard suddenly reported that he had found someone invading the forest farm. So he took someone to investigate. I waited left and right, but I didn't see them come back, and I thought things were very strange, so I decided to go back to the castle and tell you what had happened. β
"You're doing the right thing." Primo said.
This is a young man with long curly hair, and although his eyes are a little gloomy, he has a well-educated aristocratic temperament, and does not look at all like a commoner groom.
He looked at Afro, his expression soft and gentle: "If something really happens to my guards, it means that there is a great danger in the forest, and it is likely to threaten the safety of you, my dear fiancΓ©e. I'm glad you chose to come back right away and let me know the news, rather than going on your own initiative. Because it shows that you trust me. β
Primo reached out and gently stroked Aphro's cheek as if caressing a precious piece of porcelain.
"Aphro, I love you so much that I don't want you to suffer any danger or pain......"
"I know, Primo." Aphro laughed.
Primo, who was immersed in his own world, didn't notice how reluctant Aphro's smile was. If it weren't for her father, this half-elf girl would definitely not be here, and she would not be here with Primo.
Aphro has a special ability to feel the energy of living beings.
When she first saw Primo, she could feel the evil aura of death and blood in the other person's body.
And now, this aura on the other party is getting stronger and stronger.
Aphro was sure that the other party was a polite mage on the surface, but behind the scenes, he was doing dark and evil things. Recently, there have been many cases of missing people in the barony, and she thinks that these unusual cases are related to Primo.
"I've heard......," Afro said, clearing her thoughts, "Yesterday there was a trace of a traveling mage in the realm. According to the villagers, the mage looked like a man. β
"Who?" Primo reached out and took Aphro's wrist.
"Lothar Friedon."!!
Primo's hands strained suddenly, causing Avro to feel a pang of pain.
"I'm sorry, my love." Primo smiled apologetically, "If this rumor is true, then the disappearance of the guards can be explained." Lothar may have ignited the flame of law by accident and became a mage, thinking that she had the power to take this territory, this castle, and you from my hands! β
Primo comforted Afro, "Don't worry, Afro. You just need to focus on the wedding preparations, and I'll take care of the things in Lothar. No one can ruin the happiest moment of your life and mine! β
"Marrying you will be the most unfortunate moment of my life." Aphro looked at Primo's departing back and sneered in his heart.
After telling Primo about Lothar's existence, the other party will definitely focus a lot of energy on Lothar. This creates a great opportunity for Aphro in the castle to investigate Primo's secrets and his father's serious illness.
This was all a plan that Lothar and Afro had discussed beforehand.
"For my father, for myself, and for the castle where I grew up......" Afro determined, holding the transmitter that Lothar had given her.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The collective disappearance of the castle guards did not seem to cause much of a stir. Primo, the castle's chief steward and chief mage, had personally investigated, and the matter was over.
Primo never spoke of it to the others, except that according to his servants, the Chief Mage had been furious several times in private, and had cursed a man named "Lothar" in the most vicious language.
And Primo and Aphro's wedding also took place as scheduled.
The castle is lit up with lights, flowers, and the sound of mandolins and harps.
Civilians look forward to the delicious free food distributed at the wedding. The ladies and ladies discussed how the bride would wear a gorgeous wedding dress and how expensive jewelry she would wear.
And the real rulers of this land saw the gloom that shrouded in the wedding.
"The Moon Scepter family has fallen, and the ownership of the entire Oran Barony has been undecided. The many forces in the kingdom are like hyenas, tearing each other apart for the corpse of the Moon Scepter family. It's a bad sign that I don't get a little useful information in this chaotic situation......" Primo frowned, looking out at the gloomy sky.
After all, he was only a traveling mage who had recently gained the appreciation of Masu Moon Scepter to achieve his current status, and it was not surprising that he did not have any connections in the aristocratic circles and could not find useful information.
Fortunately, Primo is not too interested in fighting hard in the circle of nobles in the kingdom and realizing his ambitions. Otherwise, his anxiety will be even worse.
"What is the need to pay attention to a decaying kingdom that is about to fall under great power?" The thought of the forces behind him swelled up in Primo's heart.
But the thought of the Barony lurking with an enemy who had killed his own vampire guard made him uneasy.
"When the Black Castle descends and the army of the dead comes from the sea, the Barony of Oran will be the bridgehead for our invasion of the entire continent, and there must be no mistakes here. I'm going to get Lothar out and kill him!" Not just for personal grievances, but for the greater goals of our race! β
At this time, a man in a black robe came to Primo's side.
His voice was hoarse and deep: "Guide, my brothers have all gathered in the castle. As long as the enemy dares to appear, then he will never be able to get out. But would he really be stupid enough to come to a heavily guarded wedding? β
"I have a hunch."
"Premonition?" The man's eyes flashed with a cloudy yellow light, indicating his bloodline identity, "Hehe, that guy has a bloodline revenge mark on his body, as long as he appears, he will definitely be discovered." However, since today is your wedding, shouldn't we also have a full meal? No matter how delicious and attractive your food is, it is no different from dirt to us. β
"I have prepared twenty pure maidens for you, which you can enjoy after the wedding. But remember, other people can't move. If things get big and get the attention of the White Tower of Truth, the whole plan will be affected. β
The vampire smiled: "Your sense of responsibility is really admirable. However, it is an interesting choice for a living person to turn his back on his race and choose to join the undead. β
"All I seek is truth and power. Country, race, these things, are not worth mentioning. Primo was dismissive of the vampire's words.
Just as the two were talking, the vampire's face suddenly changed: "I feel the power of the vengeance mark!" Lothar is right in the castle! β
Primo was first shocked in his heart, and then a surge of joy swelled up: "Lothar really dares to appear in the castle!" Very well, just use his head as the biggest gift for the wedding celebration! β
