Section 8
The sound of flapping wings suddenly sounded in the dark depths before dawn, and Annan closed the portal just as Evelyn was about to say something, putting "The Seventh Night" back in its place.
The bats colony on the terrace, converging into the silhouette of the Scarlet Princess. As if feeling Annan's envy, she said: "You can do it in the future." ”
"It's almost dawn."
Annan pointed to a glimmer of light rising from the edge of the forest.
"Follow me."
Princess Scarlet returns to the castle, followed by Annan. Along the way, you will encounter many blood servants dressed in maid costumes, all of whom are beautiful without exception.
From the upper floor to the first floor, the butler followed, and then into the basement, where the burning torches illuminated several ornate coffins that had been arranged.
"Pick the one you like best." Lena lifted her chin slightly.
If Annan hadn't known that vampires had a tradition of sleeping in coffins, he would have thought he had been identified.
"Which one is yours?" He asked.
"Without mine, I'll live in an upstairs room."
Annan was silent for a moment: "I also want to live in the room." ”
The butler, who seemed to have turned into a shadow, said coldly: "This is the princess's castle, you have to listen to her ......"
"Dracula." Princess Scarlet interrupted. "When everyone saw me, they were either flattering or afraid...... Isn't it good to have such a new blood who can talk to me normally? ”
She looked at Annan with appreciation: "It seems that you can't sleep in a coffin." Dracula, please arrange a bedroom for him...... Don't get too far from my room. ”
"Okay."
Annan followed the butler out of the gloomy basement to the upper floors of the castle, where there were only a few rooms, one of which belonged to Princess Crimson.
As if fearing that Annan would accidentally die from the sun, the butler arranged for him to have a windowless room, with a large bed with draperies leaning against the wall and an entire wall of bookshelves next to it.
"Please rest well, and call the maid if you are hungry."
"Okay."
The housekeeper exited the room, and Annan walked around the bedroom, paying attention to the bookshelves.
These books are all about the love of the blood clan as the protagonist, all of them.
Beautiful things are always given a beautiful vision.
But why aren't there so many elves...... Annan thought that maybe the elves would really trouble people, and that the Bloods would really like good-looking humans.
Annan still hadn't seen the bat watching him, but it didn't matter, meditation looked like rest.
He didn't take off his mage robe, lay in bed, and spent his first day playing Bloodline.
New...... It was supposed to be the next evening, Annan woke up from his windowless bedroom.
Knock Knock Knock –
It didn't take long for the butler's voice to come from outside the room: "Her Royal Highness the Princess asked you to come over." ”
Annan got up and opened the door, his messy black hair with a lazy beauty, which made the butler Dracula couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "You...... After you have eaten your food, please make a trip to the hall. ”
"Okay."
The butler left, while the "food" next to him was staring at Annan with a blush on his cheeks.
He's so good-looking......
"You're human?"
Annan looked at the girl in a cloth dress with a delicate face.
"Hmm...... My lord, please, please suck blood......" The girl raised her head in a trembling tone, revealing her neck with many tooth marks.
She seems to have been bitten many times.
"You've always been like this?"
"Well, the princess protects us from being killed by other vampires and gives us food, as long as blood is provided......"
A vampire who doesn't kill indiscriminately...... Annan decided to be slightly nicer to Princess Crimson.
"I don't have much appetite right now, so you can go back first."
"Okay adults......"
The girl showed a hint of disappointment and reluctantly left Annan, who was like a prince.
Annan came to the corridor, and the bloody dusk had just passed. The maids in the corridor saluted him as if Annan were one of them.
From the upper floor to the hall, the figure in the scarlet red dress was standing in front of the head maid, the gardener, and the cook, arranging matters.
"What about me?" Annan came to the princess's side.
Her gaze stayed on Annan's face for a few seconds, and her tone was much lighter: "You don't know anything now, just follow me and play my knight." ”
Annan was sure once again that the Scarlet Princess must have seen too much love.
The servants retreated, and Lena suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and swept over Annan's mage robe: "You weren't an ordinary person before?" ”
"I'm the lord of a small town."
"No wonder."
A thoughtful Lena led Annan to a study. It looks like a quaint office...... You don't have to think about it to know that it's all love.
"I'm going to test you."
Lena handed Annan a stack of parchment, and the innocent appearance of handing over official business to others and making excuses seemed to make Annan see another self.
Annan reluctantly picked up the parchment scroll and stayed there as if he had been caught in a soul snatcher: "I can't read ......"
"As a city lord, you don't know this?"
"I'm busy......"
"Busy with what?"
"Busy letting others do the work."
Now the Scarlet Princess looks at Annan as if she is looking at another self.
Annan then wandered around the castle with Princess Scarlet, who seemed to be in no business and returned to the terrace.
"You...... I don't know your name yet. ”
"Annan, everyone close to me calls me that."
"Then, Annan......" Lena's pale cheeks flushed slightly, "follow me to meet a guest." ”
The Scarlet Princess suddenly turned into a ball of bats and landed in the garden outside the castle. Annan was silent for a moment, then turned and walked into the patio door, from the stairs to the hall and out again......
Catching up with the Scarlet Princess standing outside the castle gates, Annan saw a gray-haired figure walking along the gloomy forest path......
The princess discovered him, and the serenity that had come from wandering was destroyed. "Your Excellency?" She looked at Annan in surprise.
The bad news is that it was a bat that saved him, and the good news is that the princess thinks he is one of her own.
Realizing that she might have destroyed something, the princess leaned over in fear: "Please forgive me, my identity is very important......"
"It's okay, I don't know anything anyway." Annan said of his misadventure: "Didn't cause you any trouble, did you? ”
"Nope."
"How long do you have to say, come here."
The Scarlet Princess, who was walking towards the castle, heard an impatient voice.
Annan quietly pouted at the crimson princess: "What's the matter with her?" ”
"Mistress Lena is the person in charge of the project."
Following Princess Scarlet to the castle's parlor, Lena sat on the couch, her legs folded, the hazy halo reflected off the hem of her skirt making her look like a princess in her dreams.
Annan couldn't help but admire: "It's really beautiful......"
"How many girls have you said that?" The Scarlet Princess pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Every single one."
"Everyone?"
"Every time I say it, Miss Lena is beautiful."
The scarlet princess flushed, and while she became happy, Annan asked the princess who didn't dare to speak: "My wanted warrant should have appeared in Huadu, right?" ”
"Yes...... The royal capital has issued your wanted warrant. ”
"Are my men alright?"
