Suddenly, the man's voice startled the three women in the imperial study.

Out of the long-nurtured crisis response mentality, Sophia and Alice both hurriedly jumped back, opening up the distance and showing their weapons at the same time, after all, the enemy that even the two of them could not detect must be extremely dangerous.

However, compared to the nervousness of the second daughter, Queen Catherine was more shocked. She didn't take too drastic measures, her whole body seemed to be electrocuted, and her mouth opened and closed in surprise.

Because for Catherine, the voice is so familiar, even if it sounds a little hoarse and has lost its former magnetism, but the rich background cannot be simulated by anyone.

It was the voice of her late husband, the late King Duris. How can Catherine, who became a widow, forget?

"Buzz" - another strange sound sounded without warning, and a dark red ball of magic light quickly formed in the open area of the imperial study. In the midst of Sophia's and Alice's nervousness and vigilance, and Catherine's surprise, the magic ball of light gradually transformed into a human form. As the dark red light receded, a familiar man and a familiar face appeared in the sight of the three women.

"I, I, I...... I'm not dreaming, am I?!"

Catherine was in a state of spirit, muttering as she staggered towards the middle-aged man.

Compared with when he was just buried, his face has not changed much, if there is any difference, it is that he is thinner, darker, and longer than before, and his eyes, which were once full of wisdom and integrity, like the sun, are now full of evil and pathos, like a dark moon.

But what is the significance of these slight changes for a lover? It is enough to make sure that the other person is the person in his heart.

Having reached the man, Catherine reached out and stroked the man's face to make sure she was not dreaming, but as soon as her hand touched Durris's face, it flicked back like an electric shock.

"How...... Why is it so cold?" Catherine touched her right hand, which was stinging from the cold, with her left hand and looked at her man, a look of disbelief written on her face. The feeling of her hand touching his face just now was not at all the temperature she was familiar with.

"Since it's a dead person, of course it's cold. Duris replied expressionlessly.

"No! no, no, you're not......" Catherine kept shaking her head, she simply couldn't accept the fact that she couldn't accept it.

Having received a report from the soldiers guarding the tomb that someone had robbed the tomb of the emperor and that the body of King Duris had disappeared, Catherine was not only angry but also secretly happy when she heard the news. It is possible that Duris did not die at all, he just faked his death to escape from his enemies - Catherine at that time had such an idea, because she could not accept that a man who was so good and favored by herself died in such a wretched way.

And the moment she saw Duris again, she was almost completely sure of her previous idea. But the cold touch and the words of Duris himself made Catherine feel like she had fallen from heaven to hell, and the despair that had given the faint hope was shattered, and it was all the more painful.

"You've become a vampire?" said Sophia, who stepped forward and earnestly questioned Duris who had come back from the dead.

Once upon a time, Sophia had a good deal with the vampire clan for a long time and knew something about them, but at this time, the dead Duris suddenly appeared, with a strong undead aura on her body but maintained the emotions and sanity of a living person, and suddenly learned to use space magic, which could not help Sophia connect him with the blood clan.

"Yes. Duris nodded and happily admitted, "That bat queen Melissa, she sent someone to dig up my grave, stole my body, and summoned my soul back to make me her heir, the 'duty' of the Eight Sages." ”

"You...... You're going to be a Bloodline? No, you won't say yes! Tell me, you won't! There must be some way to heal your body, there must be, right?"

"Catherine, what has happened is irreversible. The one you know is dead, but I'm not a Bloodline now. At least I'm not going to be a vampire until I actually fulfill my last wish. ”

Duris replied indifferently. This is a tradition of the vampire clan, after deciding to develop a new member, they will give the newcomer a period of time to deal with the unfinished business, and when everything is over, they will change their name and surname, abandon their previous identity, and be completely accepted as a new member of the family.

Hearing her husband say this, Catherine took a step back, although she was very reluctant in her heart, she also understood that there were some things that could not be forced. The vampires don't help people for free, and since they resurrected Duris, they will definitely take him away. Catherine knew that she couldn't change the outcome, but it would be a luxury for her to see Duris again, and to say one more word - but despite Catherine's self-consolation, she couldn't help but cry.

Rational cognition is one thing, but it cannot completely wash away the influence of emotion.

Unable to suppress the churning and surging heart any longer, Catherine threw herself into her husband's arms and cried bitterly.

"I don't want you to leave, I don't want to, don't ......" Holding that cold body, Catherine took off all her guards and weapons, and let herself go to the fullest......

Although he had become a living dead with no body temperature, Duris still retained his original feelings, and he did not resist such a sad wife, but raised his cold hand and gently patted her back. At this point, Duris did not deliberately keep his distance as before, he took his wife into his arms and let her vent her emotions freely.

Among her friends, Alice had never seen Duris himself, and even though she had seen many of his portraits before, the indescribable temperament when she saw a real person still deeply shocked her. Although in the hatred education from childhood to adulthood, Duris should have been the villain she should have killed as soon as possible, but seeing their husband and wife reunited, Alice could not have the slightest hatred in her heart at this time.

However, Alice still has some questions that she must ask Duris. When she was about to walk over, she found that her hand was grabbed by Sophia.

"Don't bother them. Sophia shook her head, then took Alice's hand and gently unscrewed the door to the study, and walked out into the hallway, then turned around and closed the door.

Sophia had no fewer questions in her mind than Alice, but she didn't mind putting it off for a few minutes.
