Chapter 19: The Second Personality
"What's wrong with you, Princess Elena?" The Dreadlord asked strangely, "I feel the fear in your heart, but I didn't inflict it on you. β
Elena turned her head and stretched out her right hand with a pale face: "My finger is missing a ......"
The Dreadlord tilted his head strangely, "What are you talking about, strange princess?" Isn't that what your hands are meant to be? β
"You...... What do you say......" Elena's eyes widened.
"Isn't it? From the time I saw you, you were four fingers. Although your body is not exactly the same as that of a human, you are not a pure-bred human after all, should you suddenly dislike yourself because of this? The Dreadlord asked.
Elena's red lips opened and opened.
The calamity on his own body, even the root-level demon king is taken for granted, and it cannot be broken! Then the one who causes his own calamity must be the one who is above himβpower!
- It was the one hundred and one guest who suddenly appeared!
"My guest, there's one more." Elena took a deep breath and calmed her airway.
"Yes, it's weird." The Dreadlord nodded, "I saw the name tag on the table appear out of nowhere. β
Elena breathed carefully, fortunately, the extra guests could be recognized.
"Is it because the Blood Plague Flower is lying, it didn't keep its promise, and sent me a sincere blessing, that's why this strange incident happened?" Elena guessed.
"This can't be, suspicious princess." The Dreadlord immediately denied, "There is nothing more trustworthy in this world than a contract. Since you have made a pact with the Blood Calamity Flower, then it will definitely bless you sincerely. After all, your 100 guests are all here because of the contract with your mother, aren't they? β
Contracts are the most trustworthy of all.
So if the problem didn't appear in the Blood Disaster Flower, then what was the reason for this sudden extra guest?
Elena felt flustered again.
Perhaps, only my father can answer this doubt.
I must ask my father right away!
This is the last time that the future is visible, and even if you can't survive the coming-of-age ceremony, you must clarify all the doubts!

Elena walked briskly towards the room at the back of the auditorium in her high heels. As soon as I came to the door, I saw my aunt and the bald housekeeper coming out of my father's room.
"Your Royal Highness, you are truly radiant and charming as blood today." The bald butler asked.
"Thank you."
Elena pinched her skirt and said gracefully, though he wanted to tear the indifferent butler apart.
"Elena, you're finally willing to walk out of your room." The aunt smiled and said, "By the way, you should, you've already met Alucado, haven't you?" β
"Yes, aunt." Elena replied politely, "By the way, I also helped Alucardo's shirt change into a discipline button." β
Margaret's body was stunned, and then she smiled gracefully: "Really? I really envy your sister and brother. β
"Do you have any other commands? Aunt? Elena said flatly.
Margaret shook the small fan in her hand a little irritably: "Hehe, it's nothing." But your father is confused about the guest of your ceremony, so go in and see him. β
The stepmother gave Elena a smile and left without hurry.
Elena stood in place, her blood eyes narrowing slightly.
The matter of frog witchcraft is indeed a secret ghost by the stepmother, this can be determined. Just look at her reaction when she hears Feng Jikou.
However, she was convinced that I had nothing to do with this sorcery, so she quickly calmed down.
But...... She also seemed to be interested in my guests' questions. Could it be that the abnormal number of guests is also operated by the stepmother in secret?
Confused, Elena pushed open the door to her father's room.
"Didn't I tell you to get out?!"
"Father's ......"
Dracula turned around suddenly! "Elena......
"Is my father worried about the number of my guests?" Elena asked.
Dracula let out a long sigh, walked up to Elena in a few steps, and hugged her into his arms: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Elena. Father failed to protect your coming-of-age ceremony......"
"Father, I've invited a guest."
Dracula paused, suddenly let go of Elena, and couldn't help but rejoice: "Yes, yes, you can also invite guests!" Hahaha! But ......"
Dracula's expression became solemn again: "Are you sure that the guests you invited can really send you blessings?" β
"I'm not sure, but ...... I made a pact with it. β
Dracula suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it's no problem, in this world, there is nothing more trustworthy than a contract." Great, great...... Tell me, Elena, who is he? β
"The Blood Plague Flower in the Castle." Elena didn't hide it.
"Bloodscourge ......" Dracula pondered, "yes, there is a pot of flowers in the castle, and I remember that it was sent by the Blood King, and at the same time as his daughter. β
Dracula suddenly exclaimed, "You've done a great job, Elena! The Blood Plague Flower is a picky eater, and ordinary pieces of meat will never be able to make a contract with it, but you succeeded, and you're intact! In this way, you will successfully complete your bar mitzvah today and become the most powerful vampire ever since! β
"But I still have a question that I don't understand." Elena frowned, "My mother invited a hundred guests who could send me sincere blessings for my coming-of-age ceremony, and the reason why these guests are like this is also because of the power of the contract, right?" β
"Of course!" Dracula nodded, and at the same time relieved, "Looks like you know a lot of things, did Alucarddo tell you?" I'm glad you and him are back to the way they were. β
Elena was noncommittal, and then asked, "Father, what I want to say is that since the contract is the most trustworthy thing in the world, why is there one less guest today?" This guest should not dare to break the contract, right? β
"Of course not, Elena." Dracula affirmed, "If he didn't come today, it only means that he had an accident." β
Elena nodded: "That's right, someone is stopping my coming-of-age ceremony and secretly killing one of my guests!" β
And this person should be Margaret, her stepmother. Elena thought to herself, but didn't say it.
Dracula's eyes widened: "It's impossible Elena, no one can kill your guest." β
"Why?" Elena smacked.
"They have the ***** gospel, and even if their bodies are broken and their souls are torn, they will be born again today because of the gospel and come to your ceremony to bless you." Dracula was sure.
"This ......" Elena suddenly found that her assumptions had all been overturned.
Could it be that the lack of a number of guests has nothing to do with the stepmother?
"If there is such a strong force majeure, then why is there still one of my guests missing?!" Elena didn't understand.
Dracula frowned.
"Unless...... That guest wasn't your mother's ......."
"Who's that?!" Elena exclaimed.
"I think his inviter should be *****." Dracula said in fear.
"That...... Isn't that word I can't put into words my mother? Elena wondered.
"Nope! It's *****, your mother is your mother! Dracula corrected solemnly.
"But Aunt Mary said that my mother ...... It's that unspeakable word! Elena was even more puzzled.
Dracula thought for a moment, "She's right. It's one body, but it's two people. You can understand ***** as your mother's ...... 'second personality'. β
