"Can I enter the clan land?"

"I am the titular patriarch of House Sturet, the only son of the Scarlet Queen, and my orders are the orders of the family."

"Okay."

Annan agreed to let the blue dragons wait here, and followed the crimson princess into the dusty castle.

The air was damp and decaying, dark and dark.

Annan took out the magic lamp, and the bright light spread out, illuminating the hidden corners and walls hung with ancient tapestries and paintings.

The portraits were faded, mottled, and full of the signs of age. Princess Crimson stared at these in amazement, and suddenly seemed to see a little girl with pink carvings running through the smooth and bright corridor, laughing and running.

Princess Scarlet was just about to open her mouth to stop "her", but her eyes returned to old and dilapidated.

Sensing the scarlet princess who had stopped, a little hesitant and uneasy, Annan whispered, "If you're afraid, take my hand." ”

Princess Crimson took Annan's hand, as if a power was coming through a steady stream of warmth, restoring her composure.

"Do you remember here?"

"Hmm...... Where I grew up. ”

Princess Scarlet strolls through the quiet corridors, passing by the cloisters, gardens, and halls, and reminisces about the past.

Annan was not in a hurry, and slowly followed her around the castle.

When they came to a garden, the Scarlet princess stopped again, knowing what she had remembered.

Annan looked at the garden, where the moonlight shone in obliquely from the sky, and the pool in the center of the garden had dried up, and the bottom of the pond was mixed with dead leaves and sludge.

"Giggle......

The crimson princess, who suddenly let out a strange laugh, turned Annan.

Princess Crimson lowered her head and whispered hoarsely, "I finally tricked you in, Annan Reeves......"

Annan ignored her and continued to look around the ruined garden.

"Your blood and soul will be sacrificed by me to the great Scarlet Queen...... Giggle......"

"Why don't the pseudo-Sturetts occupy this place?" Annan, who looked up at the moonlight, said.

"Because they don't dare to ......," Princess Crimson covered her mouth and said angrily, "Why don't you believe me!" ”

"Why should I believe a lame lie full of flaws?"

"Tell me what's lame!"

Annan retracted his gaze: "Why should I cooperate with you to lie to myself?" ”

"Because...... I'm Princess Crimson! ”

"Well, Your Highness Princess Crimson, where is your queen mother?"

"Follow me!"

Annan followed the crimson princess, who pretended to be angry and stamped loudly, up the steps to the highest floor of the castle.

Looking out the window along the corridor, the dragons gathered on the grass outside give you a sense of security.

The Scarlet Princess's steps grew lighter and lighter, and she stopped in front of one of the bedrooms.

"My mother slept in it......"

With hesitation, Princess Crimson grasped the doorknob and unscrewed it gently.

Click-

The dusty door opens, revealing a spotless bedroom. It's as if time stands still...... It is still beautiful as it was hundreds of years ago.

Looking at the red-haired woman lying on the soft velvet bed, like a sleeping woman, the crimson princess burst into tears.

"I'm back......"

Then Princess Crimson wiped away her tears, and her crimson eyes fell on the blood stone that Annan took out: "Will it go crazy......

"So here I am. Victor Morrell is now either swearing frantically or praying frantically......"

Annan walked into the bedroom and approached the sleeping glamorous Scarlet Queen, whose red hair draped on the pillow could fully feel her swagger and confidence hundreds of years ago.

The bloodstone trembled slightly as if it knew its fate next.

"You deserve it." Princess Crimson said coldly.

She was almost forced by Victor Morrell to marry Williams and become a vassal of Morrell, but she was okay...... It gets its retribution - it betrays Princess Crimson and is betrayed by her own family.

Annan placed the Blood Stone on the back of the Scarlet Queen's folded hands...... When he was about to touch it, Annan suddenly thought that if Prince Lydia was lying to himself-

Fortunately, the moment it touched the Crimson Queen, the bloodstone quickly shrank like melting ice until it disappeared.

Annan retreated to the nervous Crimson Princess, staring at the sleeping Scarlet Queen.

Time passes, no change...... As the crimson princess gradually became disappointed, her towering chest suddenly rose and fell.

The Scarlet Queen on the bed slowly opened her eyes.

The scarlet eyes of the same origin as the Crimson Princess revealed a completely different expression from her...... Majestic and indifferent. The predator's aura that instantly enveloped Annan and Princess Crimson made their breath stagnate.

"Mother's ......"

Then it dissolved with the scarlet princess's call.

Princess Crimson threw herself on the bedside, venting her centuries-old longing, loneliness, and fear......

Annan quietly withdrew from the bedroom, giving the mother and daughter time to get along with each other.

Looking at the blue dragon in the manor, Annan silently meditated on how to use this cooperation to make the blue dragon clan better bound to Liberty City.

Try to get Elimoas's parents over first?

Click.

The door opened, Annan turned around, and the crimson princess with red eyes said, "David, meet my queen mother......"

Annan walked into the room, and the Scarlet Queen leaned back on the bed, looking a little weak.

"Hello, Her Majesty the Scarlet Queen."

The Scarlet Queen stared at Annan and licked her pale and dry lips: "My Lena, is this the blood food you brought to your mother who woke up?" ”

"This is my friend, he has helped me a lot!" Princess Scarlet hurriedly explained, so as not to be eaten by her mother.

"A human?"

"I'm the Lord of Liberty City." Annan introduced, abandoning the long list of titles.

And the worried Crimson Princess can't wait to tell her mother about her encounter and help with Annan.

"What do you want from me?" The crimson eyes, which were much more oppressive than the Crimson Princess, looked at Annan.

"I'm not done yet!"

Princess Crimson goes on to tell the story of how she was coaxed by the Bloodstone into being imprisoned by the Morrell family, and Annan rushed to rescue her, allied herself with the Morrell family, and then went to the Blood Council to awaken her.

The crimson eyes finally softened.

"Tell me a little bit more about the details of coming to the Bloody Council." The Scarlet Queen said.

"I don't know...... Everything is about wearing ...... Annan did it. Princess Crimson said embarrassedly.

"I'll tell you."

Annan recounted in detail, especially the reaction of the councillors, who he knew was the main concern of the awakened Scarlet Queen.

"It seems that they are not as thorough as the ignorant ......"

The Scarlet Queen is fairly happy with the "rules" of the councillors.

"They are afraid of you, and now that you are awake, we will go to trouble those traitors and the Grand Duke of Borodia!" Princess Crimson chirped.

The Scarlet Queen glanced at Annan: "Lena, you just awakened my consciousness......"
