Verse 11.Humans, Bloods, Emissaries
Annan almost took the errand, if it weren't for the revenge plan of Huadu.
However, Annan said that it didn't matter, and Princess Crimson thought that he could do it, so she relieved him to serve as an envoy to the land of the dead.
"I don't know what to do......"
"Just sending a letter to Duke Skeleton."
"I don't know how to get in touch with the undead......"
"Those pieces of bone cloth don't like to move, as long as they don't provoke them, they'll be fine."
"I don't ......"
"Don't say no."
Annan had no choice but to say, "I don't know the road...... Princess, do you want to go with me? β
Princess Crimson looked shy, "I must stay in the castle." Dracula, you give David a ride. β
"Yes, Your Highness."
"David?"
"This is my new name for you." She tilted her head slightly, "But only I can call you that." β
Annan thought of David in "The Seventh Night", a human who was taken in by a down-and-out blood princess...... Does she know anything?
But Lena, who is arrogant and naΓ―ve, doesn't seem to have any scheming at all, but Decula next to her, who is like a villain who plots all kinds of bad things next to a big man.
"Remember, Annan, the name that the princess has given you is more important than your first embrace."
Princess Crimson's reaction was faster than Annan's: "Who gave you your first hug?" β
"Wood." Annan didn't want to say anything.
Her tone was both grateful and jealous: "I haven't heard the name......"
"Just a regular northern vampire."
Princess Scarlet already knew that Annan was not a local, but she still didn't know where he came from, and she didn't want to know either. But the butler may know something......
"Northland...... Are there still bloodlines active there? Princess Crimson thought with a tilt of her head.
The Bloody Council is in the South, and they look to the Bloods of the North the same way the Wilhelms look to the Hillbillies of the North.
After chatting for a while, it was almost dawn again.
Princess Crimson told Annan to set off again in the evening and return to her bedroom to rest.
At dusk, Annan woke up on time, he knocked on Princess Crimson's bedroom door first, but there was no response, she was not on the terrace, but the bookmark of "The Seventh Night" was put back a little.
She's about to see the end.
Annan found a maid, and she said that Princess Crimson was eating. When he came downstairs, he met Dracula, the butler, who suddenly gave him a handkerchief. Still puzzled, the crimson princess appeared.
Her lips were stained with blood, and her long scarlet dress danced fluffily with her cheerful steps.
She saw Annan and the handkerchief she was holding, realized something, jumped in front of him lightly, raised her head, closed her eyes, and her delicate red lips approached Annan's face.
Annan couldn't help but look at Dracula, and his answer was to turn around.
Annan, who felt that he had fallen into some kind of trap set by the butler, had no choice but to wipe the blood stains from Liana, whose cheeks were flushed.
"I've left you some."
"I'm not hungry now, I'll finish my work for Your Highness first."
Annan thought of one of the advantages of being an emissary - to avoid staying in the castle without sucking blood.
"If only the other Bloods were as loyal as you......" The fascination in Princess Crimson's crimson eyes was about to overflow.
"What kind of letter is this?" Before Princess Scarlet couldn't help but want to kiss herself, Annan interrupted.
If you accidentally get your fangs cut your lip while kissing...... He himself is the most glamorous and unlucky warlock in history.
"Our intention to form an alliance." Princess Crimson regained her mood.
Then Dracula said, "It's time to go, Your Highness. β
"Your safety is more important than the delivery of the letter, my knight."
"I'll find a way to meet Duke Skeleton."
Annan said goodbye to Princess Crimson and followed Dracula to the outside of the castle, where he transformed into a mass of pitch-black bats and flew Annan into the night.
The night breeze whipped Annan's cheeks and restored him to his composure.
"Mr. Dracula, were you the one who brought me back that day?"
"That's Sir Hoffman."
According to the division of blood power, Jazz corresponds to humans who have just entered the elite, just like Annan.
"Annan, Your Highness has only recently woken up from his slumber, and his heart is still like a child." Suddenly Dracula's whisper came from the night sky.
"You mean I'm going to keep an eye out for her distance?"
"I mean...... You have to protect and serve Your Highness well, and don't make her angry. β
It seems that Dracula is loyal. It will not be betrayed by someone close to her and killed by someone loved like Isha in "Seventh Night".
Unable to meditate on the back of the bats, Annan asked Dracula about the Bloodline in order to find something to do.
Vampires and humans are inseparable because humans are the most suitable food. So where the humans are, where the vampires are - the Bloody Council is located in the southern states.
Dracula says that the princess is a relatively moderate faction within the council that believes that the Bloods can live in peace with humans only because of the lack of a leader and the ridiculous lack of attention.
"What about you?" Dracula asked Annan.
"What the princess sword is pointing to is where I am going."
Dracula was satisfied with this answer, and had already thought of her shy expression after telling His Highness Annan's words.
"By the way, how old is the princess?"
"Not yet 500 years old......"
Well...... Another one.
Before sunrise, Dracula, who had been moving all night, landed in a wood. It set out for Annan on his own, and some distance further east was the land of the Duke of Skeletons, andβ
"To the southeast is Persona, don't go near there......"
The name familiarized Annan, and he remembered something: "The Persona City of the Princess?" β
"Yes, it's been turned into a weird wreaking havoc, if you come across something you can't understand, stay away immediately."
Weird...... Annan remembered that the bottom nest of Montreal was called something similar.
Dracula transforms into a swarm of bats once more, burrowing into the hollow of a dead oak tree. Annan glanced at the morning light in the distance and walked south.
The sun shines through the lush shade of the trees, casting spots of light. Annan walked through the woods in the direction of the rising sun, the squirrels confirmed among the branches, and the birds circled in the canopy and followed Annan.
At one point, the sound of a large beast sounded deep in the woods. Annan stopped and looked and saw a beautiful girl coming from the woods. She was wearing a long white dress, followed by an elegant white deer. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the dappled light and shadow around them made them seem to exude a hazy halo.
Elf, or druid?
"Why do you have both the smell of blood and nature...... the girl asked, and the white deer's pure eyes were also looking at Annan.
"The blood originated from my previous stay in the Blood Clan's castle, and naturally from the leaves of the World Tree on my body." Annan gestured kindly, "Are you a druid?" β
"I am the consciousness of this forest."
