Chapter 703: The Two Princesses Who Were Besieged
Before the Demon Messenger could finish speaking, Elizabeth, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly flashed in front of him from a burst of red blood mist, and the sharp claws swept off his ears, and the Demon Messenger staggered back a few steps with a scream and covered his bleeding ears, looking at Elizabeth in shock and anger.

"This is the Blood's Castle, no one can talk to me like this here!" Elizabeth threw the drops of blood stained on the tip of her finger at the red pointed ear that fell to the ground, and said to the Demon Messenger in a cold tone: "Go back and tell the Eight Demon Kings that the Blood Clan Royal Family will not send anyone to them as hostages, let them die of this heart!"
"You're going to regret it!" the demon messenger said this sentence with a sharp pain in his ears, turned around and ran out of the hall, Elizabeth glanced coldly at his departing back, turned back to Sebastian and said, "Send someone to inform Antonio that the reinforcements of the Eight Demon Kings will not come, let him think of other ways!"
With that, she turned and walked out of the hall, Sebastian sighed softly, summoned two vampire maids to clean up the soiled floor, and walked slowly out of the hall herself.
Shirley, who was hiding outside the side door of the hall and eavesdropping, saw the whole process clearly, and she knew that her sister's actions would turn the Eight Demon Kings and the Blood Clan against each other, and Antonio would not only not get support, but also be attacked by the Eight Demon Kings and fall into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy on his back.
But at this moment, she had no choice but to silently return to her room with a worried heart, looking at the portrait of her father hanging high in the room, and silently asking him in her heart if she could do anything for the blood clan that had been decaying for a century?
At midnight, Shirley, who was playing the piano in the piano room and thinking about her thoughts, suddenly heard a loud noise, she jumped up from the piano seat in surprise and ran to the window, opened the window to look in the direction where the sound came from, and saw that the black army of demons outside the Blood King's Castle was overwhelmed, and several big demons were throwing burning lava blocks towards the gate of the King's Castle.
At this moment, Elizabeth, who was alarmed by the loud noise, hurried to the walls of the outer city of the castle, and set her eyes on the leader of the Lord of Destruction, Bartlet, the purple-skinned demon king, with long hair floating behind his back like a squid's tentacles, his naked upper body exposed staggering muscles, and his lower body was like a spider with four slender blade-like legs.
"Bartlett, what do you want to do with leading the army here late at night?" Elizabeth asked through gritted teeth, glaring at the Lord of Destruction below.
Bartlett's purple face, a pair of eyes that flashed yellow light, showed a faint hint of provocation, he looked up at Elizabeth and said loudly: "I have only come to seek justice for my subordinates, he has suffered unfair treatment here today, and as his master, of course I cannot sit idly by." ”
"Bartlett, what do you want?" asked Elizabeth, holding back the anger in her heart, gritting her teeth and staring at the Lord of Destruction below.
"Give your sister to me, let me take her back as a hostage, and our army will immediately go to the necromantic level to reinforce Antonio, otherwise ......" Before Bartlett's words were finished, Elizabeth shouted angrily: "No one in the blood royal family will be your hostage, you give me the heart to die, Bartlett!"
"It's a pity, I didn't expect Her Royal Highness Elizabeth to be so unreasonable. Bartlett shook his head mockingly, and said loudly as he retreated into the formation, "In that case, we have no choice but to let Her Highness the Princess see our sincerity!"
With his order, the demon legion began to attack the Blood Clan's castle, and a large number of burning lava stones were thrown at the walls and gates of the castle, and many lava stones fell into the castle, igniting a raging fire, and the entire castle was in flames.
Elizabeth asked Sebastian to command the servants in the castle to extinguish the fire, and at the same time ordered the blood warriors and magicians who remained in the castle to prepare for the enemy to attack the city.
At this time, Shirley, who was watching all this in the piano room, her two pale little hands were clenched tightly on her chest, she knew that the defenders in the castle were less than three thousand, and the army of the demon king outside the city was tens of thousands, and if the demon army really charged, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just when Shirley was thinking about what she should do, suddenly a light flashed, and a figure appeared behind Shirley, who felt that there was someone behind her, hurriedly turned around, only to see a handsome man in a green swallow-tailed cloak standing in the center of the room.
"Hello, little princess, do you still know me?" The uninvited young man wore long black wavy hair, and a white face with fine makeup that even Shirley was ashamed of, and a pair of emerald green eyes looked at Shirley with affection, and a smile brought an incomparable sense of intimacy.
"Are you ......" Seeing the visitor, Shirley couldn't help but take a step back, her body was tightly pressed against the wall, she knew who the handsome man in front of her was, he was actually not a human, but Peter, the king of lies, one of the eight demon kings.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to hurt you, I just want to talk to you. Peter smiled and spread his hands to her, glanced back at the piano she had just played, walked over to the bench and sat down, tapped the keys with his slender fingers, and the piano immediately burst into a beautiful melody.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Peter looked back at Shirley with a disturbed face and said, "You must know what's going on outside, right?"
Shirley nodded silently, looking at him warily, Peter still said with a smile on his face: "You should know that your sister will not be able to win, if the King of the Blood Clan is here, maybe the army of the Seven Demon Kings - you know I have no army - will be afraid, but your king is fighting the humans in the necromantic level, and Elizabeth has no chance of winning." ”
Shirley bit her lip slightly, still did not speak, Peter did not wait for her answer, looked back at the keys under his fingers with a pleasant face, and said, "I am here to tell you that if you are willing to go back with me, everything will be safe tonight, and the necromantic level will also receive reinforcements from the Demon Legion." ”
"I won't believe you!" Shirley shouted as she took a step back, she stared at Peter warily and shouted, "Everyone knows that you are the biggest liar in the Cursed Lands, and you don't have a word of truth in your mouth, so why should I believe you!"
"Yes, I'm the biggest liar. Peter nodded without a smile, he turned to face Shirley with a smile and said, "I don't deny this at all, otherwise I wouldn't be called the king of lies, but you must know that I am only here today to ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, a loud bang suddenly interrupted him, Shirley screamed and retreated to the other side of the room, Peter calmly got up and looked out the window, just a lava stone had hit the castle wall below the room, causing the room they were in to shake violently.
"Don't be afraid, I don't think the rocks will come in for a while. Peter sat down on the piano bench again, beckoned to Shirley, and said, "I haven't finished speaking, I'm here today just to pass on the word, to tell you what Bartlett means, he can't trust your new king, and he needs someone with status to vouch for him." ”
"So, this matter doesn't really mean anything to me, you know?" Peter spread his hands to her and smiled helplessly, "I don't care what the blood clan or other demon kings can get from it, I don't have an army at all, and even if the demon kings want to send troops to fight, it has nothing to do with me." ”
Shirley looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly heard another loud noise, the castle shook violently again, and a large amount of dust fell from the walls, Shirley squatted down in panic, only to see Peter stand up and walk to the window and look out of the city and say, "Make a decision early, little princess, if you wait for the castle to collapse and then make up your mind, it will be too late." ”
Shirley looked down in confusion, she didn't know if she should promise Peter, she only knew that the sound of explosions and battles had been echoing in her ears, and the castle shook in the burning of flames, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Can you guarantee that I won't be hurt when I go back with you?" Shirley finally mustered up the courage to look up and ask.
"Hurt?" Peter was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, Shirley looked at him in surprise and uneasiness, only to hear him laugh and say: "Little princess, you think too much, Bartlett only wants a hostage, just like when humans buy and sell things, sometimes they have to pay a part of the deposit, which is a guarantee that both parties keep their promises." ”
He stepped forward and spread his hands to Shirley and smiled: "Could it be that the seller will tear up the deposit for any purpose after getting it?" Of course not, he just wants to exchange the deposit for more money, you know what I mean, after the human race is repulsed, of course the king of the blood clan will give the demon kings some benefits to make up for their losses, right?"
Hearing this, Shirley lowered his head and was silent, Peter continued to step forward and squatted down opposite her and said: "Think about it, a human who has never seen before suddenly became the king of the blood clan, and then asked the demon kings to send troops to help him fight, who can guarantee that he will not attack his allies after the battle, after all, the demon kings don't know anything about him. ”
"If you go back with me, even if the King of the Blood Clan ignores your feelings, at least your sister will not sit idly by, she will sway the thoughts of the King of the Blood Clan, so that the Demon Kings will not suffer unnecessary losses, as for hurting you......"
Speaking of this, Peter smiled faintly and said, "If the King of the Blood Clan cares about you, who would dare to resist his power?
Listening to Peter's words, Shirley had a glimmer of hope in her heart, she felt that Peter's words made some sense, she believed that Antonio would not turn a blind eye to her life and death, so the demon kings should not dare to do anything to her, as long as they helped Antonio repel the human army, everything else would not be a problem.
Thinking of this, she plucked up the courage to make up her mind, and when Peter saw that she agreed, he stood up with a slight smile of approval, stretched out his hand to her, and said, "I'm glad you made a wise decision, and we'd better leave sooner rather than later, so as to avoid more undeserved losses." ”
"Then my sister ......is there," Shirley held out her hand to him, and at the same time looked up at him hesitantly, Peter patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will help you pass the word to Her Royal Highness Elizabeth, hold my hand, little princess, we are leaving!"
