In the luxurious dining room, Hoshimi sat alone at the edge of the long dining table.

In front of her was a real feast - full of sight and smell. Not to mention the dazzling variety of dishes, the fragrance that fills the air alone is enough to seduce a person's index finger. Most of the dishes were something she had never seen before—not that she didn't recognize what it was, but she had never seen anything like it.

The whole part of the table, the part that holds the dishes, is slowly turning. This allows diners to enjoy every dish without having to put in extra effort.

The closest one to her was a prawn. Shrimp are common, but shrimp of this size are not common, at least Hoshimi is the first time I've seen them. The shrimp, which is larger than a regular plate, is simmered in butter and garlic and has an irresistible aroma. While the shrimp's neighbor is a shellfish, the flesh is dug up and slow-fired into a soup, while the shells are placed on a dish as a garnish. And on the side of the shellfish soup is a fruit that Xingke has never seen before, neatly cut into small slices, exuding a natural and fresh fruity aroma.

There are so many dishes like this that it's hard to put into words. If it were a different time and place, maybe Hoshimi would be very happy, and even feel that he was too lucky to be able to enjoy such a big meal. Because even if she had a rich aunt, even if she had spent several years in the high society of Eagle City, she had never seen such a table of delicious food (.

In her estimation, the table was worth at least a thousand gold Oli. What was served here was not actually a dish, but a braised gold brick oil stewed gold bars and vegetarian fried gold necklace sweet and sour gold rings. Even the first-class tycoon in Eagle Falcon City can't afford this level of luxury when it comes to banquets.

But unfortunately, although the food is current, she has no appetite at all, and she only has panic and anxiety in her heart.

She had changed into a dress. This is a blue long-sleeved dress, which seems simple at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more you love it. This blue ...... How to put it, it looks like both the sky and the ocean, and it is the kind of blue that is so quiet that people's eyes can't help but indulge in it. Its material is incredibly soft and smooth. As a man of great knowledge of magic, Hoshimi could tell that the material of this garment had undergone repeated magical treatments—no less complex than the magical weapons and armor that the warriors regarded as treasures. And her sewing process is even more irrefutable. High-end and beautiful clothes are often a little uncomfortable to wear - at least the first few times. This is an unavoidable defect in most cases, but it is not felt at all on this garment. This outfit is simply made for her and perfectly matches her body shape.

Wearing this dress, Hoshimi is confident that he can attend the ball held by any dignitary in this world, and he can make all the female guests cast envious and jealous eyes behind their backs.

"This ...... This one...... Yes......" Hoshimi said with some difficulty.

"Lunch. Leia replied with a smile. Speaking of which, this girl has been smiling and respectful since the first time she saw her. But the more this happened, the more panicked Hoshimi became.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world - every region has such a saying, the choice of words is different, but the meaning behind it is the same. There is no love for no reason and there is no hate for no reason, and if you want to be fed without effort, you must have the consciousness of being in a cage.

Scarlet and Léa sat beside her. The attitudes of the two people are completely different, Scarlet is already eating there in small bites, without raising his eyelids. And Leia didn't move, and the cutlery was flat in front of her, looking at her.

"Isn't it to your taste?" said Léa, who seemed hesitant. "Well, it's a very ordinary dish, but it's made by children who have undergone special cooking training. ”

"But...... But ......" Hoshimi wanted to speak, but he looked around left and right and couldn't see a chance. If this continues......

"Is it really a taste that doesn't suit you, or is it because you're tired and you don't have an appetite?"

"This ...... I think you must have misunderstood something!" Hoshimi hesitated for a long time, and finally said it. "I'm the way I am, but I'm ...... It's a bit old. She remembered the legend of vampires, who were only interested in girls between the ages of twelve and seventeen. This has been mentioned to many people, even Faure, who has met with the vampire many times.

"I'm far more than seventeen years old. Hoshimi plucked up his courage and said.

To her surprise, Léa laughed. "So, ma'am," she asked, with a somewhat playful expression. "How old do you think I am?"

"Ah...... This ......"

"It looks like all I have is ...... About fifteen or sixteen years old, you see, Fei, probably three or four years older than me. But in reality, both of us have been married to the Duke for more than fifteen years. Leia said with a smile. "Well, I know there's a rumor out there about this, and the Duke is only interested in girls between the ages of twelve and seventeen. Don't be misled by these rumors. ”

Hoshimi sat down. She now knew what had happened to her sister in the Chaos Realm, and how lucky it was that Ashrufat was able to get her back—the most fortunate thing about that was that the Star was actually an insignificant figure in the Chaos Realm. According to estimates, there are hundreds of Chaos Lords in the Chaos Realm, and Star Moment is just one of them.

Now this is the case...... Will Eshurufat be able to save her from the Scarlet Duke?

"Well, that...... How do you know about me?" Hoshimi finally asked. She remembered that the journey must have been very secretive, in fact, because of the star carving, they had done as much as possible to keep out of contact with the outside world. This is especially true after entering the West Vanian boundaries. "...... along the way"

"No, no. Léa replied with a smile. "Actually, we don't know anything about how you got here. However, I have a special ability to prophesy. I was able to ...... How to put it, according to the Duke, see through the fragments of the flow of time in the future. So I know you're going to be in a certain place at a certain time. ”

What does this mean? Hoshimi was completely confused. It took half a minute for her to realize that she had not been brought here because of Faure's betrayal, nor because the vampire had taken a fancy to her by chance, but because the woman named Leia had prophesied everything.

Prophecy is not uncommon - while nine out of ten soothsayers and soothsayers are charlatans, the fact that there are so many charlatans is a sign that humanity recognizes the existence of such abilities.

"Can you ...... See the future?"

"Usually not. Léa replied. She pointed to her eyes. "As long as my eyes can see the real world, I can't see the future...... I'll be honest, I knew about you four or five years ago, and you're here today. I don't know if the Duke will be pleased, but I took the initiative to bring you here...... I guess I don't get angry. She said hesitantly.

Hoshimi didn't understand what the other party meant by "As long as my eyes can see the real world, I can't see the future", but the guess is that Leia's prophetic ability can't be used at will. In fact, it's normal to think about it, otherwise this ability is not too invincible?

In addition, she realizes that she is not brought to this castle as if she is not meant by the Scarlet Duke (and even the Scarlet Duke may not know), but only by the idea of this woman called Léa. The reason, of course, is because of her prophecy. She saw what it is today a long time ago.

Hoshimi cautiously inquired about the possibility that the prophecy was wrong, since she had never met the Scarlet Duke, and she had a husband, so she had enough reason to think that the prophecy was wrong.

Scarlet sneered on the side. "Lying. She said in a voice that wasn't very loud, but everyone could hear, and she didn't even look at Hoshimi. "And even if it's true, it doesn't make any sense. Her words directly choked back Hoshimi's words. That's right, they're now in someone else's hands. Others recognize you as a married woman, and you are a married woman. Not to mention that they are more than capable of turning Hoshimi into a widow.

What to do, what to do? Her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't think of any way to do it. Speaking of which, Hoshimi wasn't the kind of person who was very assertive. This is also a common characteristic of twins - usually, twins can easily produce one strong and one weak. The latter are often not assertive, and need to listen to the opinion of the stronger one. Unfortunately, Hoshimi is exactly the latter.

What happens if you openly reject a vampire?

Probably...... One of the worst outcomes is...... It will be killed, and it may even be killed by sucking all the blood.

She clenched her fists nervously, her body trembling slightly from unease and fear.

"This ...... Ma'am, did you misunderstand something?" Leia looked at her with some surprise.

"I didn't ...... No mistake. But I really can't...... No...... I've got to get out of here first. Can I get out of here?"

Leia said in surprise. "Don't you have an appetite, but if you want to go for a walk, it's perfectly fine. ”

"What do you mean...... I'm free to leave this castle?"

"Absolutely. You're not a prisoner......" Leia was even more surprised. "As a hostess you can ...... Go anywhere. As long as the Duke does not object. ”

"So, I'm going to get out of here, and he won't object?"

"How could he object to such a trivial matter?" said Leia. "But there's one more thing. ”

"Ah, what's the matter?"

"Well, Scarlet's men have caught a deserter. Leia said. "The Duke didn't know why, but after a little night when he came back, he left before dawn...... Perhaps this should be handled by you. By the way, let me take you through the castle. ”

......

The damn sun never goes down.

In fact, there is no truth at all in this accusation - the trajectory of the sun is always immutable and follows the inherent rules. But in the hearts of the two people in the dungeon, life is like years. i1292
