Section 24 Judgments
Ashrufat was gone, and he would come back in the evening to save them. But if the vampires return before the night comes, it's really over.
The so-called torment refers to this kind of mood. In fact, if you are completely hopeless, it is better to wait here to die. But the current situation is half the hope of life and the threat of half death.
"It's past noon, isn't it?" asked the little girl. She'd asked this question at least twenty times.
"Well, it's past lunchtime. Laria replied. The prisoner's breakfast was simple, a little hard bread and a little water. But even such a simple food can feel the difference - the bread has a better texture and is whiter. It's not at all like the shoddy goods you eat in a prison cell. But breakfast is breakfast, lunch has not yet come.
All they can do now is wait, pray, and hope.
The sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs, the little girl turned around and looked. Judging by the sound of footsteps, there were more than one or two people coming. She listened for a few seconds, then turned to look at Laria beside her, only to find that her face had turned pale.
"What's wrong?" the little girl asked.
"It's over!" Laria's hand gripped the metal bars of the prison so tightly that her hands were white. "It's a vampire...... Our judgment is coming......"
The little girl was terrified. Then, she saw a whole group of people coming from the entrance of the stairs, all women in that particular armor.
The one in the lead stood out - because she was taller, even a little taller than Laria. This set of close-fitting armor is worn on her, which can bring out the slender and slender one. She just glanced at the little girl and came directly to Laria.
"Laria. The strange woman said. "It's nice to see you're alive. Most of us think you're dead, because death is the only way to end a contract...... But it looks like we misjudged. โ
"That...... Captain Scarlet ...... "Laria's expression stiffened, and sweat flowed uncontrollably down her head.
The little girl could clearly feel that this woman called Scarlet was completely different from other female guards. To be honest, although Lalia was besieged and captured alive, she never showed excessive fear during her time as a prisoner. Of course, she was afraid, but she was not so much afraid of her former colleagues as she was of vampires.
Lalia is not afraid of death, she has been through so many battles and killed so many people that she has already looked down on life and death. In addition, according to her own words, being able to live for so long and finally make her sister succeed is already "earned". Along the way, her indifference outweighed her fearโthe opposite of the little girl's.
But now, her expression is completely different from usual. Only the most nervous people are in this state, such as a gambler who bets all his fortune and then touches a bad hand. She was trembling, not at all like her usual Laria.
Scarlet asked a bunch of questions, and Laria trembled and answered all the questions, and she didn't hide anything at all. Don't tell lies, I didn't even use the basic technique of "saying ninety percent and leaving one percent", but instead shook out a lot of things that could have been left unsaid. Even the little girl on the side noticed that Laria's state was wrong.
In this regard, Lalia once mentioned the little girl. According to Laria, this is because her soul has been controlled (at least by influence) by the evil magic of vampires. Normally, she looks no different from a normal person, but she can't resist the orders of a vampire or a vampire's designated agent. Not to mention asking a few questions, even if the vampire ordered her to kill herself alive, she could only do it.
The key reason why Laria was able to escape the vampire's control for so long was that the vampire's own logic was wrong, so that she was able to find the flaw.
There is no doubt that this Scarlet is the agent appointed by the vampire. From the conversation between them, the little girl has already judged that she is the scarlet that the wind chime said before. The side chamber of the Scarlet Duke is also the captain of his bodyguard.
There was no need for torture or interrogation, just standing there and asking a bunch of questions one by one. It didn't take too long, and Laria had already recruited everything. Even her activities in Gruni, everything that can be said has been said, and what cannot be said has not been omitted. For example, the identity of the little girl, for example, the situation of Gruny, for example, the fact that her sister Rhodia is married to Beller (and is pregnant).
Finally, Scarlet nodded her head in satisfaction. She turned her head, and Laria collapsed as if she were leaning against the wall.
"It turned out to be Gruny's first heir in line to the throne, the former queen who abdicated, Luvia?? Angell?? Her Royal Highness Princess Makremiz. Scarlet looked at the little girl with an indescribable smile on her face. "Looks like you've got a treasure this time...... Ah, what a blessing. I thought it was just an ordinary eyewitness or something......"
"You ......" The little girl instinctively felt uneasy, and it was a strong uneasiness. "What do you want to do?"
"Ah, to put it simply, I want to do something fun. For example, control your soul so that Gruny will obey the Duke from now on?"
But whether she was joking or telling the truth, at least it made the little girl feel a strong crisis. However, judging from the look on her face, it is more likely to be a joke. After a while, the little girl mustered up her courage.
"Are you...... Are you the one who can call the shots?"
"Calling the shots, you mean the fate of the two of you?" Scarlet smiled. "Unfortunately, no. She shrugged. "Although you are insignificant, it is not me who decides. โ
"Duke Scarlet?"
"Well, the one who calls the shots is coming. Scarlet looked back at the entrance to the dungeon, where the stairs were. The little girl and Laria instinctively looked in that direction.
At this time, several figures were coming out of there.
At a glance, there were no vampires among the people who came - because all of them were dressed as women. Although a vampire is not human, he will never have ...... It's a fetish to dress up as a woman. The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw who was coming, her eyes widened instantly.
Hoshimi stood in front of the cell, looking at the two people in the cell at a loss. Although they hadn't seen each other for a while, she still recognized the identities of the two at first sight. To be honest, it's impossible not to recognize it.
How did they end up here? And they became prisoners?
Scarlet stepped forward and gave an introduction to the identities of the two prisoners. In a panic, Hoshimi didn't listen to most of them, and the only thing he remembered was one thing: what to do with these two prisoners depended on her words.
Is it a test? Or is it really for her to make a decision? If Xingshi was present, she might have come up with an idea, but unfortunately she wasn't there.
"They...... Is it important?" the star had seen for a long time, and finally asked this sentence.
"No, it doesn't matter at all. Scarlet made it clear. "You can dispose of it as you please. It's okay to kill it, it's a hundred. Personally, though...... Forget it, it's up to you to deal with it. โ
"Hoshimi!" this time it was the little girl who shouted, and she looked at her acquaintances outside the cell door, her face full of doubts.
"Do you know them?" Leia looked at each other, quickly coming to the conclusion.
"They're ......" Hoshimi blushed, but finally said it. "My friend!"
......
"It really has nothing to do with you?!" Ashrufat added half a bit of strength to his hand, and Faure was lifted up by him, and the tips of his feet barely touched the ground. His round body trembled with fear, and his head kept dotting like a chicken pecking rice.
Faure hadn't expected Ashruphat to return. Ever since that happened, he felt as if Ashrufat had caused something to happen and was being hunted by the vampires. It's annoying, but that's it. He really didn't expect Ashrufat to come back in such a short time.
Although the man in front of him was wearing a helmet covering his face, the anger burning in his eyes was real! So Faure was pretty sure that Ashrufat was really angry, and as long as he didn't say a word, he would probably be slaughtered by this man.
"Totally ...... It doesn't matter at all. I don't know why......" the merchant stammered. "I just went to the Dark Castle as agreed...... Then they asked directly about the situation and ......"
Ashrufat let go of his hand. Theoretically, he was just a person who came from out of town to seek medical treatment, which is very common. Judging from what he saw and heard along the way, as well as Fuer's previous repeated statements, there was nothing to worry about, just a simple hand-over and delivery. As long as Ashrufat himself does not show up, no one will notice anything. Everything will be done quietly, and then they will leave Sivania.
In other words, something must have happened that led to the twins' arrest.
And what exactly happened, only Ashrufat himself knew best. There is only one female escort who can dispatch a large group of scarlet dukes and find twins in a short period of time. Damn, last night......
The thought of what a furious vampire would do to the twins...... Ashrufat himself felt hopeless.
Of course, there is a problem with it. Why didn't the Scarlet Duke arrest himself directly, but instead attacked the twins? People who have a little better face will find a way to solve it themselves. That's why in Eagle Castle, such things are usually done in duels rather than lawsuits.
Ashrufat left Faure behind. Turn around and stride away. Blame and remorse filled his heart, so much so that he didn't even realize that he had bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry. "It wasn't until he hit someone that Ashruphat came to his senses.
The one he knocked down was a middle-aged man with a thin build. It took a few seconds for Ashrufat to realize that he was a roadside stall selling drinks. It's a small drink stall that sells milk, juice and cider. West Vania has a typical southern climate and the weather is hot, and this drink stall is common and popular. However, there are no customers at the stall at the moment.
As a token of his apology, Ashrufat paid a small amount of money for a glass of fruit wine, which was served in a cup made from the husks of large nuts.
"Young man, it looks like you're on your mind. The boss asked as he handed the drink to Ashrufat. "Does it have anything to do with the Scarlet Duke?" i1292
