Chapter 5

The wind was cold, the dark sky was filled with snowflakes, and the whole island of Zealand was turned into a land of ice and snow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Isabel, who was unconscious, was swept away by the reef of the beach, soaked in water, her hair covered with ice flowers, and her fur coat covered in sand, completely losing her former luster. She is now seriously injured, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for her to wake up for a while, and even if she does, she will have to use fresh blood to replenish her energy. And at present, she probably doesn't even know whether she is dead or alive.

After some unknown time, a group of mysterious people came to the beach and found her. The mysterious man in the lead leaned down and gently pushed her awake. She opened her eyes and instinctively sat up straight, only to find that the person next to her turned out to be her father, Green. This was probably her luckiest moment. So, she instinctively threw herself into her father's arms and said sadly, "Father, I'm sorry!"

"My child, thank goodness you woke up. Green said. He helped his daughter up, "I know everything about you, and Henks knows about it, Castor has been fed to sharks by us, and all those gold and silver treasures have been snatched back by us." ”

"Really? Great. ”

"Now, come back to Copenhagen with me. Green took her out of the beach, boarded a carriage and, escorted by numerous guards, set out on his way to Copenhagen.

The sudden appearance of her father did not surprise Isabel. Green took out a bottle full of human blood and poured a glass for his daughter, "Come, drink it, and your injuries will be much better." ”

Isabel took the cup and drank it unceremoniously. Suddenly, she felt much more energetic, and her injuries were fully recovered. At the same time, she felt that there was a person sitting next to her, and when she turned her face, she saw that it was Vanessa, as if she had suddenly appeared, and people were unaware of it. "Vanessa, you're here too?" she asked, surprised.

Vanessa's face was as pale as a corpse that had been so long gone. She had no smile, only coldness and sadness, and a deep cut in her wrist had been cut, and the blood from the wound had clotted. She said in a trembling voice, "Isabel, does my blood taste good?"

"What?" Isabel looked at the cup in her hand, she couldn't believe she was drinking Vanessa's blood, and as a result, the cup suddenly slipped out of her hand.

"Why are you drinking my blood?" Vanessa's grief grew, "Why?

Isabel was about to ask what was going on, when she suddenly felt a wave of vertigo that nearly made her faint. She persevered, tried to stand up, but couldn't, and tried to see everything in front of her, only to be stunned by the sight before her. Unexpectedly, her father, who was sitting across from her just now, suddenly became Casto.

Casto said to her with a sinister smile, "My angel, welcome home." ”

She couldn't believe what was in front of her, she wanted to fight Casto to the death, but for some reason, she suddenly felt weak, and then collapsed to the ground, she didn't even have the strength to shout, and she had to be slaughtered at this time. Casto came up to her, leaned down, and began to run his cracked hands around her face and neck, trying to sexually assault her.

This time, she was completely desperate, her revenge had not been avenged, and her pure body was about to be forcibly taken away by the enemy. She couldn't believe it was true. At this moment, Casto's face began to blur in front of her, everything around her gradually fell into darkness, and her body gradually became conscious. She felt like she was soaking wet, and a cool breeze was pouring into her nostrils.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and found herself lying on the ground, all she could see was the sand and reefs, and all she could hear was the sound of the sea breeze and the sweeping waves. She immediately sat up, and found herself on a strange beach, and she found that her clothes were still on her body, which proved that her body had not been defiled by Castor, and that what had just happened in her mind was nothing more than a dream. However, her wound was tingling under the erosion of the sea, and she had to drink fresh blood to heal.

She suddenly remembered the dead Vanessa in her dream, and she was worried that something would happen to Vanessa, and Casto would probably attack the castle. So, in excruciating pain, she got up and walked north along the beach until she reached the port of Helsingør, where she found her way back to the castle. She had to hurry, and if she hadn't expected, the castle had already been attacked by Castor. She struggles with all kinds of foreboding, and she is confident that Vanessa will be safe. She ran as fast as she could, sometimes leaping in the canopy, the branches of the trees passing by her eyes, and the anxiety in her heart made her forget the pain of the wound for a moment.

Suddenly, she noticed a cloud of smoke rising into the sky over the woodland not far ahead, and she couldn't help but pause, because it was the direction of the castle. This time, she didn't think much of it, but continued to run as fast as she could. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and even she could hear the sound of her heartbeat.

Eventually, she crossed a high ground in front of her and finally saw her castle, and she was shocked by what she saw. As she expected, the entire castle was covered in flames and billowing smoke, and in some places only the frame remained, and it looked like it had been burning for a long time. There are also places that seem to have been bombarded by shells, and only the ruins remain. Regardless of the danger, she ran into the courtyard, still holding on to a glimmer of illusion and constantly shouting Vanessa's name. At this point, she could no longer contain the grief in her heart, and she concluded that Vanessa had been killed nine times out of ten.

She concluded that Casto was responsible for the disaster. She regretted not killing Casto, whom she looked down on and who she had turned away. Perhaps, in order to get other people's property, she once gave others weapons and let others kill each other. And now, she is being plotted by others, which may also be the punishment of the sky. Now, she has lost not only her property, but more importantly, her dignity and the face of her family. At this time, the castle began to collapse in small areas, occasionally mixed with the sound of wooden materials breaking.

At this time, Isabel could not suppress the anger in her heart, she ran outside the courtyard, and shouted angrily towards the silent forest, "Casto. Casto. I swear I'll kill you myself. ”

The rage caused her wound to open again, and she staggered forward for some distance, suddenly falling to her knees, thanks to which she had given her elbow to the ground in time to prevent her face from hitting the ground. She reached into the inside of her coat and wiped the wound on her ribs, finding that her wound was worse than before, and the snow on the ground was also bloodied by her. This was not the worst of all, but the most serious was the amount of anger and grief that had accumulated in her heart, causing her heart to crack and her lungs to crack, causing a large amount of blood to gush up her throat and finally gush out of her mouth, splashing red with snow. She was no longer able to support herself, and finally collapsed in the snow.

Isabel is in danger, but she is lucky enough to always have a brush with death at the most dangerous times. In the evening, a team sent by Austin Frost to deliver a drink of rat blood arrived at her castle. The castle, which had been almost burned to the skeleton, could still be seen in the moonlight, wisps of green smoke and small clusters of blue-purple flames could still be seen.

The convoy stopped in a snow-white clearing outside the castle and was utterly shocked when they saw the castle beyond recognition. The captain of the convoy and several people planned to go to check, but unexpectedly, they found Isabel who had been unconscious in the snow for a long time. At that time, the captain did not know her true identity, so he personally stepped forward and turned her face up. This time, the captain was completely stunned. "Come on, people, quickly. He shouted.

Several guards rushed over at once, and they were also stunned by the scene in front of them. "Who could have done this?" asked one of the guards.

The captain hesitated for a long time, and didn't dare to guess, "There must be a reason for the matter, first bring her back and hand her over to the lady." ”

The guards carried the unconscious Isabel onto the carriage, and although the carriage had a rat blood drink, what Isabel needed now was fresh human blood. Time was pressing, and the convoy rushed to Copenhagen. Along the way, almost the same speed was maintained. Finally, arrived at Siegfried Manor in Copenhagen just before dawn. Despite the bumpy ride, Isabel never woke up. Immediately afterward, she was carried into the bedroom.

The captain of the convoy reported Isabelle's incident to the military advisor Ostan, who immediately told Monica when he learned about it. When Monica heard the news of her daughter, she was so worried that she almost fainted, for fear that something would go wrong with her daughter. In order to see her daughter as soon as possible, she hurried to her daughter's bedroom in two steps and one step at a time. When she saw her daughter, who was seriously injured and unconscious, her eyes were instantly soaked with tears of grief and she began to cry incessantly.

Ostein and Hales arrived afterwards, shocked by Isabel's current condition. This not only reminded Ostein of the ass of the Sarbele who always liked to show off her edge, but he felt that Isabelle had a haughty temperament, and she must have offended some lurking forces and caused her to be killed. Anyway, the first thing to do was to heal her injuries first, so Ostein sent two vials of human blood to the storage room and gave them to Monica, hoping to heal Isabelle's injuries first.

The servant lifted Isabel up slightly, then carefully poured a vial of human blood into her mouth, and she did not wake up. Then he poured a second vial of human blood into her, but she still didn't wake up. This scared Monica. So she told Ostein and Hales to go back to rest first, and she stayed here to take care of her daughter. She first asked the two maids to change her daughter into loose and comfortable pajamas, and then let the servants all leave.

Monica sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked her daughter's head, hoping that she would wake up soon. It's daytime now, it's not snowing today, it's a sunny day, but Isabel's bedroom is always covered by thick curtains, giving the impression that it's still night. Monica would rather not rest than see her daughter wake up.

Suddenly, Isabel's left hand moved slightly, and her body squirmed slightly, although it was only a small movement, but it was enough to overjoyed her grieving mother.

"Isabel. Monica took her daughter's hand and whispered her name, "Isabel, wake up." ”

Isabel seemed to hear her mother's call, and she occasionally moved her eyelids, as if to echo her mother. After a few moments, she gradually opened her eyes, glanced casually around, and slowly sat up straight. When she saw her mother by her side, she didn't react because she was afraid that she was dreaming again. So, she asked tentatively and softly, "Mother, is it really you?"

A smile finally appeared on Monica's face, "My child, you're finally awake." ”

"Mother?"

"Isabel, I'm a mother. ”

"Mother!" Isabel felt more and more like she was dreaming, and it was her mother who was sitting on the edge of the bed. She hugged her mother tightly, sobbing incessantly, and felt even more guilty. "Mother, I'm sorry!

"Honey, if only you could come back. ”

"Vanessa is dead, and so is Draco. Isabel cried even more sadly, for Vanessa, who was her sister's maid, and Delach had protected her with his life, and it was undoubtedly a big blow to her to leave her in such a way. When she thinks of Casto, her sadness immediately turns to anger and impulsiveness, and she decides to seek revenge on Casto.

Monica saw that her daughter was so impulsive, once she was allowed to go, she would cause greater right and wrong, and maybe she would die, so she finally saved her daughter, and if she was asked to take revenge with anger, she would be to blame as a mother. So she hugged her daughter tightly, and no matter how much she prayed, she would not allow it.

Isabel didn't expect her to end up where she is today, with all the Siegfried family's property in Helsingør ruined. She was unwilling to be defeated by a nobody like Casto, and she still didn't know how she was defeated by Casto.

Recently, she also received a letter with a ring in it, which was originally a birthday present for Vanessa. The letter was written to Castor, whom she hated the most, and in which Casto humiliated her and told her how Vanessa had been tortured to death by them. After she finished reading it, the anger concentrated in her body again, causing her lungs to crack open, and the blood to cough up from her mouth again, and she fell to the ground on the spot, unconscious. When the servants outside heard the voice, they immediately ran in and carried her to bed. Then a doctor was called, and two vials of human blood were poured into her in time, so that she could temporarily get through the difficulty.

Due to the double blow of mind and body, Isabel has been tormented by depression for several days. She did not eat or drink, she did not rest for an hour or two every day, her beautiful blonde hair had lost its luster, and she could hardly even speak. Although she comes from the blood clan and is not as fragile as humans, if she continues to be enslaved by emotions like this, even the best of her body will eventually be destroyed.

Monica was so sad to see her daughter tormenting herself that she often cried secretly in her room, always hoping that her daughter would be able to return to her former activity.

At this time, Hales Graham mustered up the courage to stand up, he must have been personally appointed by Green to be his daughter's mentor, so he also had responsibility, so he decided to let Isabel defeat the demons in his own way, regain her self-confidence, and vouch for her personality in front of Monica, so that the once courageous and confident Isabel would stand in front of her again. Hales's words made Monica seem to see a life-saving straw that could free her daughter from her demons, and she boldly handed her daughter over to him.

Early that morning, Hales came to the outside of Isabel's room, politely knocked on the door, and only allowed to enter. On the pretext of borrowing books, he planned to borrow a few more books on European history from Isabel. Isabel took him to the study and let him choose. Hales surveyed Isabel's room, where the windows were still obscured by dark curtains and there were only a few candles in the room. He also took the opportunity to observe Isabel's complexion, and her complexion felt good. After that, Isabel went to the bedroom, and it seemed that her health was still not improving, and she was probably still struggling with revenge.

Hales pretended to be looking for the books he needed, and after a moment, he sighed deliberately, then raised his voice and said, "She doesn't have anything here, and this girl is too short-sighted." ”

Isabel, who was sitting in the bedroom, heard what Hales was saying, so she walked out of the bedroom, looking upset, "Are you talking about me?"

Hales smiled, "You don't have what I'm looking for here, so I'll go and borrow some of the servants while they're still asleep, goodbye." ”

His words made Isabel feel a little embarrassed, and just as he was about to leave, Isabel called out to him: "Wait, how do you know I don't have what you're looking for here?"

"Maybe I didn't notice it, but you have a good environment here, it's always dark day or night, and this is exactly what each of us Bloodclan dreams of. ”

"If you like it, stay a little longer and tell me about the things on Poppy Island. Actually, Isabel was afraid that he would go to the servant and borrow a book that she didn't have, and thus make herself very embarrassed, so she deliberately let him stay and talk about the Poppy Island.

At this time, of course, Hales would not be polite, he just wanted to take the opportunity to chat to convey strength to this arrogant girl and let her get rid of the psychological shadow. "What do you want to hear about Poppy Island?"

Isabel walked over to the desk and sat down, "You can sit too." ”

Hales sat down with her, "You want to hear about the war on Poppy Island, right?"

"You just want to say a few paragraphs, I just want to listen to them. ”

"Alright then, I'll tell you about a wise man's path of revenge. (To be continued.) )
