"I'm going to think about ......"

Annan temporarily refuses the request of a merchant from another world.

He was just an elite warlock, and on top of that, Annan was only the lord of a small city.

Entering Persona City and investigating the source of the weird shouldn't be his turn, at least not a guy from northern Middle-earth.

For the time being, Annan only bought three leaves of the Otherworldly Tree to form two teams. Skeletron made an appointment with the merchant to come back in a week, and Annan would reply to him at that time.

The trace of the merchant disappeared with the converging gray fog, and the tomb returned to normal.

"You're right...... Skeletron commented on Annan's earlier answer, "the rules of Persona are very different from ours, and everything we know doesn't work there. ”

"Didn't you want me to go to Persona City to find the princess?" Annan deliberately teased.

"We weren't familiar with it then, but now I know you're a unique human being."

Skeletron's soul swayed, and Annan smiled.

It's fun to be friends with other races.

"Shall we go back now?" Annan asked.

"The Strange Grounds at night is dangerous, so we'll set off during the day."

"Then ...... here"

"It's safe underground."

Annan had nothing to worry about. Next to it is the ostensibly epic but actually legendary Skeletron, two epic amulets, and a portal that can also lead to the old ancestor's bedroom at any time.

If you can't even solve the weirdness on the edge of Persona City, you can simply join the weird camp.

Nothing happened the whole night. Annan was meditating, and Skeletron was sitting with the materials he had bought, doing some simple experiments. They set out early in the morning and returned the way they came.

As he passed by the wooden house in the woods, Annan leaned in front of the window and waved to the wooden house in the distance.

In the cemetery next to it, a field of wildflowers is blooming.

……

When Annan returned to the necropolis, Princess Crimson's tomb was filled with laughter.

"You didn't see the smugness it felt when it thought I believed it, it was funny—" Princess Crimson grinned as she clutched her belly.

"What's wrong?" Annan had never seen her so happy.

Princess Crimson quickly regained her ladylike demeanor and brushed the tips of her hair on her forehead: "I met a monster who called himself the Queen Mother, and he said that she was a human lurking around me, and there was a terrible conspiracy ......"

Princess Crimson laughed again, and Annan tried to keep her smile from showing herself.

"Does it think I'll believe it, how can humans be kind enough to help us!"

"Indeed...... And even if I'm human, it's nothing, it doesn't know that you're not that resistant to humans. ”

"No way!" Unexpectedly, Princess Crimson denied Annan's claim, "I will never allow humans to be by my side!" Don't make such jokes, Davy......"

Is this the arrogance of the Bloodline?

"I thought you didn't hate humans that much......" Annan didn't say anything about "The Seventh Night."

Princess Crimson whispered, "That's also as our servant." Humans cannot be trusted, and all short-lived species cannot be trusted...... If humanity dares to put its hand into my power...... I will chop off their hands, cut off their limbs, and become blood slaves. ”

Annan thought that Princess Crimson would be very close to humans and wouldn't even mind falling in love, and it seems that he imagined an alliance with Princess Crimson too simple......

“…… Tell me about the guy who pretended to be your mother, how did it come about? ”

Princess Crimson details the outline and dialogue she saw in her mother's figure in the Crimson Dream.

"What if it's really your mother?"

"It can't be."

Princess Crimson denied, "It says she's been watching me silently, but it can't even say what I've been through." And my family is the oldest bloodline, she should call herself 'I', and the most important thing is ......"

A touch of crimson climbed up the crimson princess's cheek.

"I know you can't be human."

Annan changed the subject: "I caught a vampire, are you going to interrogate it?" ”

"Well done, David!"

Princess Scarlet takes Lucy and asks the skeleton servants to lead them to the necropolis's dungeon.

In the cold dungeon with ghostly fire, Princess Crimson sees the vampire who was looking for trouble for her at the banquet the day before yesterday.

She had wanted to exile the guy who had attacked David to Nezumi territory after the interrogation was over—a punishment worse than death for vampires. But as she approached her cell, she heard the vampire lying on the ground in embarrassment, muttering "Odris ...... It's impossible to ......" or something like that.

"You ......"

Lucy interrupts Princess Crimson and asks the vampire, "What did you say?" ”

The vampire looked up, his scarlet eyes full of fear: "Scarlet princess...... Your Highness, I can't believe that Your Majesty has always been by your side. ”

Princess Crimson suddenly became excited: "You saw my father!?" ”

"See, he's been protecting you......"

……

Four otherworldly tree leaves. Annan handed over three to Olmedo and one to Irelandze.

He didn't dare to give it to Teddell. As an elder of the Elven Court, she knows a lot of secrets, and maybe she also knows about the Otherworldly Tree, but because she is an elder, she will give priority to the clan......

Let a race with a World Tree know about another World Tree...... It won't be a good thing.

You can't tell the elves, at least not until you've made an alliance.

Irelandzer has no problem. Her long life has made her realize that there is nothing worth caring about except love.

The three tablets given to Olmedo were for her to test distance and time, and the one for Irelanzer to be studied for.

"I'll go see how the interrogation goes."

Then Annan followed the maggots to the dungeon.

Annan worries about the dream that Princess Crimson had......

If only that dream was the same conspiracy as the vampire attacking him, if only that dream was really the Scarlet Queen...... Didn't she know that she had a purpose in sneaking into her daughter's side?

The key is the attitude of the Scarlet Princess.

At first, Annan thought that Princess Scarlet knew something, and the name "The Seventh Night" and the name David were all hints at...... As a result, Princess Crimson really didn't know, and she only liked it on the surface.

She just wants to watch this kind of vampire-human love story, but doesn't want it to happen to her.

She is no less arrogant than other vampires.

Originally, Annan's idea of confessing to Princess Crimson when he found an opportunity in a few days ended in vain.

The sound of Annan's footsteps echoed in the dungeon, Crimson and Lucy looked at Annan emerging from the darkness, and then a scene that shocked them appeared: the vampire in the cell knelt on the ground and submitted to Annan: "Lord Odris, I, François Galligo, have sworn blood to be loyal to the Stulet family forever......"

Princess Crimson looked at Annan in amazement.

"Father......?"
