Chapter 20: Dracula's Plan
"Second personality ......" Elena tries to keep her head receiving new information.
"The missing guest is likely to be invited by *****, ***** is your mother's other half, so it can also be seen as your mother's invitation, but he is not your real mother." Dracula added.
"So, it was my mother's unspeakable second personality who invited the guest and asked him not to come?" Elena suddenly understood.
"Alright, Elena. It's all in the past. ”
Dracula affectionately stroked her white hair and said softly, "Now that the number of guests is complete, when you complete your coming-of-age ceremony, you will be a real vampire, you will get rid of human blood, get rid of the identity of the ***** heir, and you will always be normal and safe forever." I love you, my Elena. ”
Looking at Dracula's relieved appearance, Elena finally understood why the sixth and seventh articles of [Aunt Mary's advice] were contradictory.
His father loved him, but he was afraid that he would become the unspeakable word.
Although she understands this truth rationally, she still can't agree with it emotionally.
"I want to digress, father." Elena said indifferently, "If you found out that I was abnormal now, you would ...... Kill me? ”
Dracula's gaze grew cold: "What did you hear?" Did anyone say anything to you?! ”
"Please answer me, Father!" Elena said stubbornly.
"......" Dracula pondered for a long time, then nodded heavily, "Yes!" ”
Elena's eyes dimmed: "So, is this your love for me?" ”
"Yes!" Dracula nodded vigorously again, "It's not just my love for you, it's my love for your mother. Elena, do you know what was the last thing your mother gave me when she took you out of the castle? ”
Elena slowly lifted her blood pupils.
"She asked me, if one day she is gone, then before your coming-of-age ceremony, as long as I find that you are in an abnormal state, I will kill you immediately!" Dracula said bitterly.
"Because your mother doesn't want you to suffer the same pain as her! You are the heir to *****! The unspeakable power will find you! You will be lost in the horrors and power of power, become a true *****, and then be in untold agony forever. ”
Dracula's face contorted, and he took a deep breath at the moment.
"Whether you understand it or not, your mother and I made the decision to kill you not to prevent the coming of power, but to free you from 'abnormality'...... This! It's your mother's sincere, sick, twisted, crazy love for you! ”
Elena's blood pupils flickered.
"Elena, I can't ask for your understanding, but I'm sure you'll resent me when you become a *****, a puppet of power, why didn't I kill you before you could fully inherit ......*****," Dracula said bitterly.
Elena's chest rose and fell hard, "I think I can understand you, my father. ”
Dracula looked relieved, "Thank you, Elena. ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and hugged Elena again: "It's all over, it's over." Now that you have a full number of guests, you can be safe after your bar mig. ”
Elena smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it's not so optimistic, father." ”
Dracula looked back in confusion.
"I don't want to say it, but my guest has one more now. Moments after I successfully invited the Blood Plague Flower. Elena said helplessly.
"There's one more ......," Dracula's eyes widened, "it's impossible!" ”
"No, he...... What is your name? Dracula thought for a moment and asked.
"As you can imagine, the name of my one hundred and first guest is none other than the unspeakable special inviter."
Dracula's eyes were deep: "Yes, yes, it did!" He must be the guest he was missing! That's right, that's right...... Since it is an invitation, of course it is an invitation to 'come', but how can an invitation be issued if 'not come'? ”
"In this way, *****'s invitation should give the guest more authority, so that he can choose to 'come' or 'not come'. In this way, ***** can control the number of guests through him, thus interfering with your mother's prophecy. ”
Elena nodded, exactly as she had thought.
Dracula's gaze suddenly sank into the abyss.
"But it also shows ...... He's coming, right? Dracula asked cautiously, "Power...... Already found you? ”
"Don't rush to kill my father, I'm still normal." Elena said calmly, "But I can feel that he is already in this castle. ”
"Yes, yes, as it should be. The destruction of prophecy brings calamity, and He has always walked with calamity! By the way, do you feel any calamity happening to you right now? Dracula asked with concern.
Elena thought about it, but still raised her right hand, but found that she no longer had her right hand.
- On her right wrist, there was nothing!
As if born this way.
"What happened to your right limb? Elena? Dracula asked, puzzled.
"It's the right hand! My right hand is gone! This is calamity! ”
Dracula was amazed, "What nonsense are you talking about, Elena. I remember very well that when you were born, you didn't have your right hand. Are you ...... now? It doesn't seem normal......"
"It's you who is abnormal, it's all of you, my father!" "Now, we must find out who my hundredth and first guest is, and eliminate him!" ”
Dracula's face continued to twist and confuse for a long time: "You're right, Elena. Maybe it will all be saved until He actually finds you. ”
Dracula suddenly grabbed her left hand and said, "You are a brave, calm, and battle-ready princess, Elena. I'm sure you're still normal if you're so noble and elegant! ”
"That's right, there's nothing to be afraid of power! As long as you have a normal number of guests, even unspeakable powers must not disobey your mother's prophecy! Because He is She! ”
"However, it is impossible to eliminate the guests, I said, they have the gospel, even if the soul is torn apart, at the moment when your ceremony begins, his soul will be sewn up again and come to bless you!"
"And the only thing you can do now is to immediately cancel your invitation to the Blood Calamity Flower just now, so that the one hundred and one guest will become your hundredth guest!" Dracula affirmed.
"But in this case...... That mysterious guest should also choose not to come immediately, so that my guest will become missing one again, right? ”
Elena asked, after all, as her father had just said, that the unspeakable inviter probably had the right to choose whether to "come" or "not to come".
When the number of guests was just right, he didn't come, and let the guests be missing.
When the number of guests was filled, he chose to come again and let the guests increase.
Therefore, Elena was worried that once she canceled the invitation to the Blood Disaster Flower, then the mysterious guest would definitely choose to cancel her coming-of-age ceremony immediately.
"Then I can only start your ceremony at the moment when you just lift the invitation of the Blood Calamity Flower!"
Elena's eyes widened, only to hear Dracula say solemnly: "I'm going to make that guest too late to give up the invitation!" And as long as he doesn't give up the invitation, even if it's *****'s invitation, he must keep the contract and send you his most sincere blessings at your ceremony! ”
