Annan sends Princess Crimson back to her room in "I'm not really a child" and follows the servant to Skeletron's alchemy room.

Skeletron is a cleanliness guy - needless to say, he wears a clean cloak forever, and even his skeleton is polished as smooth as new.

The alchemy room smelled of roasted licorice, and Michael looked like he was in a pigsty compared to it.

Skeletron came to the alchemy table, opened a wooden box, and returned the elm leaves he had borrowed to Annan.

"This leaf has given me a lot of ......"

"Then I'll give it to you." Annan said nonchalantly, "So what's the good news?" ”

Skeletron put the good news back: "This leaf has a faint power that does not belong to our world...... It seems to be a beautiful thing that gives people hope, and when you touch it, you seem to see a world tree thousands of meters high standing on the mountain by the sea, and you can perceive other leaves...... This must be the Leaf of the World Tree in another world. ”

"You said you could sense other leaves, right?" Annan suddenly sensed something.

"That's right, I think it should be able to keep the wielder in touch like our World Tree."

“…… Why don't you give it back to me? ”

Skeletron smiled and brought the wooden box to Annan.

"I've got a second piece." Annan said that maybe it could replace the leaves of the World Tree and become something for long-distance communication.

"That's what I'm thinking, so I'm going to go to the Bad News Zone again."

"Am I with you?"

"There's no reason to let the guests take risks, let's rest here with the princess."

"It's okay, I'm with you."

If only the leaves of the World Tree of the other world could replace the leaves of the World Tree of the Elven Court...... It's worth the risk.

It will be a new specialty after the Magical Image, and it will not be duplicated - not everyone will be able to get the leaves of the World Tree from another world.

"When are you leaving?" Annan asked.

"Don't rush, boy. Let's get ready and leave tomorrow morning. ”

Annan returned to the tomb first, thinking that it would not be bad to knock on the door of the two ladies late at night, and thinking that they were vampires, he knocked on Lucy's door with confidence.

When no one answered, Annan knocked on Princess Crimson's door, which Lucy had opened.

"Her Royal Highness told me that you want to know about the family's past?"

After Annan sat in the burial chamber, Lucy asked.

"Is that okay?"

Princess Crimson was lip-syncing beside her: promise him.

"Since the princess agrees."

The princess's full name, Lena Odris Sturet. Heir to the House of Sturet.

The Stulet family, a veteran vampire family that has been in the Bloody Council for more than two thousand years. Reached its peak during the time of Lena's mother, Serena Odis Sturet, who became one of the twelve members of the Bloody Parliament and became known as the Scarlet Queen.

She had ruled the Bloody Council for nearly two hundred years, but eventually withered away like the most delicate and fragile flower—two hundred years was just a few sleeps in the Bloods' view of time.

It's about the same as the dragons. It's just that a dragon that has slept for two hundred years is almost an epic, and an elite vampire who has slept for two hundred years is still an elite vampire.

Serena Odris Sturet's withering was rumored to have been attacked by the Nezumi Clan and the Greenskins in the Bloody Council, but the people of House Stulet knew otherwise.

There were also three MPs behind the attack on the Queen.

The Count Turner behind the provocative vampire at today's banquet, and the Archduke Borodia behind Count Turner is one of them.

Serena Odris Stulet fell into a near-eternal slumber due to serious injuries, and Dracula and Lucy went into exile with the Scarlet Princess, who inherited the status of Councillor, through operation, and forced, voluntarily relinquishing their rights in exchange for not being divided.

Now, three hundred years are almost over, and the time for the three-hundred-year reshuffle of the Bloody Council is approaching.

In order not to be deprived of her status as a councilor, Princess Crimson hopes to use humans to stabilize her position.

After learning of Hearsa, Crimson Castle has a vampire play the role of a princess and infiltrate Huadu, using the power of Huadu to protect himself by quietly transforming his dependents.

So Annan arrived at a time when they were at their most dangerous and vulnerable. After forming an alliance with Skeletron, Crimson Castle was given a respite and a ticket back to the center of power.

"Do you have to go back?"

Annan did not know the strength of the bloody council. Let's talk about the correspondence with the Supreme Thirteen Kings and the Thirteen Clans of the Ratmen...... That's a force with several legends.

This side of Crimson Castle...... The strongest may be Annan.

"I don't care about being a councilor, but I'm going back to wake up the queen mother." Princess Crimson said.

"Can only the councillor pick her up?" Annan asked.

Lucy replied, "No, but as long as His Highness is still a councilor, they will remain jealous and unable to make a move." ”

"Can't you go back now?"

"No, the adjustment has already begun. Now sending the princess into the maeltrom of power will only be torn apart by those old guys. ”

This is an endless cycle, if you want to go back to the parliament, you have to have strength, if you want to have strength, you have to keep your status as a councilor, and if you want to keep your status as a councillor, you have to go back to parliament......

"Are there any other members of the Stulet family?"

Lucy whispered almost chanting: "Betrayal, death, refuge...... This is an abiding truth. ”

It means that everyone who is willing to follow Princess Crimson is here now.

Annan pondered that the simplest and most direct way to solve the problem was to ask the ancestors.

An ancestor who can kill a few legends casually, the supreme thirteen kings, those old antiques who have lived for thousands of years also have to tremble in front of her...... But the old ancestor was cursed, and let her consume herself and do things for herself...... That's not fair to the ancestors.

Skeletron's portion wasn't enough, and they had to think of something else.

"Will you help me?" Princess Crimson said softly.

"Yes, I'll help you."

Annan and Lucy, who couldn't think of anything for the time being, said, "I'll go to Persona City with Skeletron tomorrow morning, I'll ask for its advice, and the princess will hand it over to you first." ”

"I said I wasn't a kid!" Princess Crimson looked up and glared.

"Don't worry, it's safer than our castle." Lucy and Annan ignored the princess's opinion.

……

The next morning, the necropolis servants informed Annan that he was ready to go.

Before leaving, Annan asked the servants to go to the kitchen to prepare some food and bring it over.

"What are you going to do with this?" Skeletron asked curiously.

"I told you about the cabin in the woods that I met on the way, and I'll bring her some food." Annan said, holding the basket.

Skeletron's soul flickered, but there was no response. Annan asked tentatively, "What's wrong?" Isn't that right? ”

"No...... Is that right? ”
