Annan didn't mind Alma rejecting him, they would think of him when the Morrell family was losing ground.

And it's no secret that the Sturetts are declining with the Scarlet Queen's slumber, so the Morrell family sees their potential...... As long as the Scarlet Queen recovers, the Strett family will return to its glory.

And Annan, who has a way to awaken the Scarlet Queen, is the key.

Alma represents the Morrell family and Princess Crimson represents the Stulet family, agreeing on the details of their alliance.

Annan wanted the Morrell family to announce their alliance and shelter them for the rest of their bloody trip to the Parliament.

Princess Crimson's way home is bound to be thwarted by the Grand Duke of Borodia.

Alma did not refuse, but could only send an earl to protect them.

The Scarlet princess didn't bargain anymore, and she couldn't let the only prince of the Morrell family follow them. In response, Princess Scarlet promised to wake up her mother and let her come to the Cerrens Mountains to help defend against the nezumi.

And then in the testimony of the vampire ancestors, they formed a blood pact with potency that was stronger than the devil's contract.

Annan thought to himself, it's not that they don't give Beludona a chance to advance, it's that they don't need you.

"Grandfather Annan, when are you going to leave?" Alma asked.

"Get the Magic Stone and we'll be able to leave tonight."

Annan is human, and they can take Princess Crimson with him at night, and he can take Princess Crimson with him during the day.

Alma looked at Williams, and the knowing young prince left the council chamber briefly, returning with a tray containing the magic stone—untouched.

"Please be careful of the Magic Stone......" Alma reminded Annan instead.

Annan was surprised to take the Bloodstone, he didn't expect them to hand over their ancestors so quickly......

Is there anything else hidden?

The crimson princess, who had picked up the Blood Stone, suddenly wrinkled her cheeks.

"What's wrong?"

"It's so ugly......"

"Scold back."

"I ...... I won't ......"

"It's okay, there's a bard in my territory, he can talk dirty all night straight, I'll let him hold it in a moment......"

Annan wasn't sure if Alma's painful handover of the Bloodstone would make them leave, but anyway, with the Morrell family's affairs successfully completed and the centurion on the battlefield as a-stirring stick, there was no need for them to linger any longer.

The Earl Alma sent to guard them was named Pedro, a calm vampire who was 1,700 years old - vampires and elves alike always lost the concept of lifespan.

There were still three hours before dawn, just enough time for them to get out of the mountains.

Before leaving, Annan came to the cemetery to say goodbye to the grave keepers.

"Miss Oroda, are you leaving us again for good......" said the old vampire mournfully.

"I'll be back, and I'll wake up Lydia then."

Annan reassured, then he looked up and said to Alma, "Trist Morrell's tomb is a secret passage to the abandoned garden, where there is also a fissure that leads to a ravine deep in the mountains...... Beware of nezumi coming through the rift, or using the rift to catch nezumi off guard. ”

"I see." Alma said respectfully.

Count Pedro transforms into a giant bat and lets Annan and Princess Crimson sit on its back, blending into the pre-dawn darkness.

"Father, is he really the reincarnation of the ancestor's lover?" Williams said, looking at the night sky.

"Does it matter?"

Williams looked at his father in surprise.

"He helped us do what we wanted, and he could bring us benefits, then he is." Alma tilted his head and said to the old butler, "Find Trist Morrell's grave." ”

"Ancestor of Naviktor......"

"Child, do you know why Victor Morrell is not in the Sleeping Place?"

"I don't know ......"

But Williams realized something when his father said the full name of Victor's ancestor.

Victor Morrell...... The sinners of the family ......"

Williams learns another family secret...... Roughly hundreds of years after Lydia's ancestors were asleep, Victor Morrell rose to prominence, and in order to become stronger, he attacked other ancient families and attacked human cities by any means necessary, so that the Morrell family had to personally participate in the capture of Victor Morrell and suffered heavy losses.

In the end, they didn't catch Victor Morrell, but Victor Morrell never reappeared. Everyone tacitly assumed that he was dead, and a storm dissipated invisibly.

So even if Annan didn't make an excuse for the "Magic Stone", Alma would not hesitate to hand over Victor Morrell to him.

"The best thing for us to do is not let anyone know about the existence of Victor Morrell......"

"I see......"

Alma looked at Williams: "My child, when the truth no longer matters to you, you will be the patriarch of the family......"

……

"You actually did it!"

Princess Crimson, who was sitting next to Annan, stared at him with delight.

Annan smiled back: "It's not me, it's us." ”

"Annan ......"

The crimson princess gradually immersed herself in those black eyes...... Then Annan, who suddenly covered her neck, woke her up.

"Humph!"

Princess Crimson decides to ignore him for three hours.

Three hours later, a white rose in the far east.

Count Pedro, who had already flown out of the Serence Mountains, fell to the ground, ready to sleep.

In order not to attract attention, Annan opened the portal and let them go to Liberty City to rest.

It was as if Elimoas had been brought into the Liberty City treasury...... But fortunately, the Scarlet princess is still trustworthy.

As soon as Count Pedro stepped in, Princess Crimson took the opportunity to whisper: "I have absorbed a lot of the power of the Blood Stone before, will this affect ......?"

"I don't know...... But even if there isn't much strength, should it make the Crimson Queen recover somewhat? ”

As soon as the Scarlet Princess jumped through the portal, Evelyn suddenly forced her way over.

"What...... What...... ...... thing," Annan reluctantly pulled out a long tone.

"New jokes." Evelyn handed Annan a pen and paper and looked at him expectantly.

"I can't think of it."

"You should be inspired after reading this." Evelyn shoved him another copy of Glory of Ricanre.

Annan had to take a look, and the first thing he saw was the first magical video screening of the Rikaner Kingdom, in which the king himself played the role of king, and received rave reviews.

Annan had an idea, gave the pen and paper to Evelyn, and said:

A minister reported to King Rikaner: "The first magical video was shown at the Grand Theatre of the New Royal Capital, and the audience applauded enthusiastically every time you appeared. King Rikaner was so pleased to hear that he ran out of the palace and bought a ticket to the Grand Theatre. The magic video was projected, and he was so fascinated for a moment that he forgot to applaud. At this time, someone next to him pushed him and asked nervously, "Why don't you applaud?" Don't want to die? ”
