The bodyguard's hand slowly left the hilt of the sword, and his right hand moved upwards to his helmet, slowly taking it off. While taking off his helmet, he placed his left hand slightly in the center of his face, somewhat hiding his own face.

At first, Rosa couldn't figure out what the other party meant, but when the other person took off his helmet, his eyes immediately widened.

"Gong ...... Duke...... Your Excellency......" Rosa recognized the other party's identity at once. In front of him was none other than the Scarlet Duke himself. Although Rosa had not strictly met the Scarlet Duke a few times, he believed that he would never admit his mistake. His face turned pale in an instant, and large drops of sweat fell uncontrollably on his forehead. He tried to explain, but nothing was in his throat.

"Get out. The Scarlet Duke tilted his head slightly and said a word to him.

Rosa was pardoned, and hurried back the way she came, only hating her father and mother for missing two legs. The soldiers behind him followed him. They were all aware of the identity of this mysterious bodyguard, and when Rosa said "Lord Duke", they understood who the person in front of them was.

Everyone admits that the Scarlet Duke is a very generous lord. However, everyone remembers that the Scarlet Duke is a cruel monster who feeds on blood after all.

Half a day later, when the carriage had gone away, Rosa was a little sober from his lost soul.

"My lord, that was the ...... just now Duke Scarlet?" one of his men asked. Not everyone behaves like Rosa, and a large part of them are far more curious than fearful.

Rosa headed, thinking about his future fate. He slowly regained his composure, and since the Scarlet Duke did not punish him immediately, it meant that this matter was within his tolerance. Aside from making it more difficult to please the Scarlet Duke in the future, there will be nothing else. He began to wonder if he should take the initiative to go to war - Ryan's civil war had largely ceased, but the vampire's stealthily expansion of power had never stopped. Because there are always those who think they can stand up to the forces of the Scarlet Dukes, especially those who have been appointed by the royal city and have no knowledge of the local situation. Since the civil war had not yet completely subsided, these men often came to their posts with an entire army of guards.

If Rosa had taken the initiative, he should have found such an opportunity easily......

But then he remembered the dangers of the battlefield, and the cruelty of the Scarlet Duke to the loser. Vampires are as famous for their cruelty as they are for their generosity.

"My lord, why is he here?" someone boldly asked.

"Probably something to do with yesterday. Another companion on the side replied. "I saw it with my own eyes...... At least ten of the duke's guards surrounded the prisoner cart. ”

"Prisoner car?"

"I'm willing to bet that nine out of ten are prisoner cars. When the car stopped, I stole a look. The print pressed out of the car was too deep, indicating that it was very heavy, and it should have been made of steel. Only prisoner cars need so many steel components. The soldier said with confidence. "And I happened to hear them talking, as if there was a traitor in the car...... The betrayer among them. ”

This turmoil for them ended there, and did not cause more. No one had considered the possibility that the Scarlet Duke was an imposter - there were many ways to find death, each of which was easier and more enjoyable than pretending to be a vampire.

On the side of the road, not particularly far from Purple Stone, the carriage with its distinctly Northland style stopped. Their horses had not been well rested just now, so they had to pause on the side of the road.

The charioteer and bodyguard, or the man who was mistaken for the Scarlet Duke, was none other than Ashrufat. He specially bought this helmet on the road to disguise his appearance, originally intending not to be recognized, and to complete the deal like an ordinary person and turn back. But in that case, he had to pretend to be a vampire.

As it turned out, the results were much better than expected.

Ashruphat parked the carriage in the shade of a tree a little further from the road. The road was bustling, and there was an endless stream of merchants, but after all, he had left the road, so he didn't encounter any trouble.

He sat in the driver's seat of the carriage and turned back to talk to the twins in the carriage. Although the star carving has been covered up by as much makeup as possible thanks to Aunt Mary's arrangement, after all, those mutations are too alarming to avoid any search.

If Ashrufat hadn't disguised the Scarlet Duke just now, I'm afraid this matter would have developed out of control.

"I'm afraid it's not going to be good," Ashrufat said. "The vampire forces are much stronger than we expected, remember what happened last night?"

Last night, they spent the night in a village on the edge of the city of Mir. The reason why he didn't enter the city was to avoid trouble - as mentioned earlier, Xingke's state at the moment really couldn't withstand any search. But when they approached the village, because it was already dark, the villagers mistakenly thought that a group of wandering bandits and robbers had approached the village.

"Get out of here, this village is under the protection of the Scarlet Duke!" shouted the people in the village at the time.

Later, although the misunderstanding was cleared up, and they spent the night in the village at the cost of a penny, Ashrufat would not forget what the villagers shouted. The vampire forces of Sivania are already secretly expanding - and more than anyone could have imagined. Even Belle, who claims to be "eyeing Sivania", doesn't know that the vampire's power has grown to this point. This is no longer the kind of infiltration that sends a few spies and arranges a few moles, but the kind of infiltration that has really achieved control.

Ryan is still half-dead, and he doesn't know how much time it will take to regain his strength and crusade against vampires again. And when the day dawns, they will not be able to organize a crusade. Perhaps by the time the Ryan finally have the power to crusade against the vampires, the whole of Ryan will fall under the control of the vampires.

"I'm afraid the vampire power has expanded a lot. Xingke replied. "We're still ...... Close the deal as fast as you can, and leave. ”

"It seems that the original plan was not reliable. "What just happened makes it clear that celebrities are in danger when they see - it's no secret that vampire tastes are known, if everybody's known. But just now, Ashruphat really didn't know that the twins' appearance matched the taste of vampires. Although their actual age is well beyond the tolerance of vampires - theoretically safe, who can say for sure?

The original plan was for Ashruphat to put on a helmet and disguise himself as a guard, and Hoshimi would come forward to negotiate a deal with the vampires. But if Hoshimi's looks are very much in line with a vampire's hobby...... Well, as a deep-seated prejudice, Ashrufat had no confidence in Hoshimi's safety. Vampires are monsters that feed on human blood, after all, and he may make some ......

"I'm afraid the whole of West Vania is looking for girls like us. Xingke said worriedly.

"Put on a veil. Hoshimi proposed.

"It's rude to wear a veil when meeting officially. Ashrufat reminded. "If it weren't for that, I would have stepped in. ”

"I can't explain what it means to wear a mask when a man comes to a formal occasion. But it makes sense for women. Hoshimi said suddenly. "I've seen something similar when I was in Eagle City. If there is any flaw on the face, a woman can wear a veil on any occasion. ”

"But in this case," Starmark said, "it's time to change our original plan." ”

Their original plan was to take a little time to learn more information, preferably to visit all four places: Via, Istria, Menot, and New Town. Then ask the vampire for treatment. But now, given the dangers faced by the twins, the first thing can be ignored. In fact, based on what I saw and heard on the road, it was not a vain trip.

"We went directly to the new town of Sivania...... On the edge of the Dark Castle. Complete the treatment as quickly as possible, and then you can leave. Ashrufat said. "In the meantime, try to reduce the chances of showing your head as much as possible. At first, he felt that his appearance could not be exposed, but now he realized that the twins were in a similar situation to him.

......

"Here it is...... Where?" the carriage shook violently, pulling the girl's will back from her stupor. When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar face. It was her female bodyguard, Laria known as Scarlet Rose.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Laria smiled. Although the girl has abdicated for several years, Laria has always called her "Her Majesty". Speaking of which, the girl felt a little strange that Lalia did not leave with her sister, but stayed by her side.

"Where is this?" the girl struggled to her feet, and she felt a sharp headache. That's the combined effect of the after-effects of the drug and the impact along the road. The girl moaned uncontrollably, and Lalia hugged her and gently stroked her head. "This isn't my home?!" she was a little horrified to find that there were iron fences all around. The outside of the fence is also wrapped with thick wooden planks.

"We were in a car. Laria smiled wryly. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I've troubled you. ”

"Happen...... What's wrong?" the girl struggled to remember, but found that her memory was blurry. "I can't seem to remember anything...... What's going on?"

"It's a side effect of the incense. Laria replied. Her physique is far superior to that of a girl, so she has basically recovered. But even she is powerless in the face of this inextricable cage. "We were attacked and are now prisoners. ”

"Sneak attack, sneak attack on me?" the girl's eyes widened. "Who is it?!"

"It's a vampire's servant. Laria replied, with a wry smile on her face again. "There are too many, nearly twenty, and I don't even have a chance to escape. ”
