Section 20 Consequences

The sky is getting brighter.

The "out of nowhere" light in the castle has been imperceptibly gone, replaced by sunlight from the skylights above. The light from one of the windows fell right on the little girl's body and illuminated her face.

The little girl rubbed her eyes and slowly got up. Then she realized that she was asleep - she had no intention of sleeping, and wanted to stay up all night waiting for Ashrufat to return. But she really didn't have the ability to stay up late, and she didn't even know when the Sandman had climbed into her body.

Wait a minute...... It's dawn...... Ashrufat failed? She looked in trepidation at Laria, who was sitting there, seemingly closing her eyes.

"Laria!" the little girl slapped hard against the metal bar. "Last night...... What's wrong?"

"Master Ashrufat has not returned. Laria replied. This is actually a nonsense, if Ashrufat came, the little girl would not have slept until dawn and woke up.

"He ......" the little girl's face turned pale instantly. If Ashrufat doesn't come back, then it means ......

"But he should be fine. Laria said. "Because I didn't feel any warning signs. I guess," she smiled reluctantly, to soothe the little princess beside her. "He must have been close to dawn before he finally got what he wanted. So there's no time left to save us...... Can only wait until tonight. ”

Ashrufat did say before that the vampire would be away for two days...... However, a little more delay is undoubtedly equal to a little more variable. Who knows if the vampires will come back early?

"Will it be ......?" thought the little girl, perhaps because of the fruitless wait all night, her thoughts were a little pessimistic. "Is there any other possibility?"

"If Lord Ashrufat is arrested," Laria said. "Will definitely be sent here. On the other hand, if it is exposed and forced to flee, it will definitely cause a large-scale alarm, at least a comprehensive search to prevent fish from slipping through the net. But neither of these happened, so he must have succeeded, but he didn't have time to save us. Besides, someone like him can't give up halfway!Now we'll have to gamble," Laria looked at the skylight high up and the small blue sky outside the skylight. "Bet we're lucky enough that the vampire won't be back today. ”

......

Ashrufat sat on a stone on the corner of the street, staring blankly at the key in his hand.

The streets were bustling with people, but at most someone gave him a curious glance - and then went on. No one cares about a depressed-looking loser on the side of the road. In this city called "New Town", although there is a lot of wealth flowing every day, there are also many losers every day. There are those who give up on themselves, there are those who try to cheer up the author, and it is not uncommon for people to sit on the street in a daze like this.

Now...... It's a big deal......

Ashrufat grabbed a weed on the side of the road and bit the stalk in his mouth. It was a habit he had learned from his time with Chaos, and the bitter taste permeated his mouth and into his heart.

Words are hard to describe the remorse in his heart at this moment. He actually sneaked into the dark castle and slept with the wife of the Scarlet Duke!

Looking back on it now, I still think it's incredible. He has always felt that he is the kind of person who has a lot of self-control. In the face of all kinds of crises in the Chaos Territory, he has always been able to control everything rationally, looking for the slightest chance of victory and finally succeeding in leaving (if that is also called success). But this time, he actually lost control.

Maybe it's the effect of the incense with an aphrodisiac effect, but Eshurufat prefers to believe that it's his own problem. How did it happen? By the way, walking on that soft carpet and looking at the palatial rooms...... There was a familiar, reassuring feeling there. It was that feeling that confused him and made him unconsciously relax himself. At that moment, he even forgot that he was an intruder who had penetrated deep into enemy territory and could threaten his life at any moment.

And the woman...... The vampire's wife, she seems to be called Léa. The moderately soft and stiff elastic limbs will not be boring no matter how many times you hold them. When they are completely integrated, she accepts his love with all her heart, responds to his love, and presents herself in front of him from body to mind.

The woman named Leia...... He must have mistaken himself for the Scarlet Duke!, but Ashruphat himself knew that he was not the Scarlet Duke at all, at most he was just a stand-in for the former Scarlet Duke (as I said earlier, he logically deduced).

Although he easily brought the key out in the morning (the key was at the vampire's bedside and could be easily found), he had made a big mistake.

There was no prospect of easing the relationship between him and the Scarlet Duke, and the two sides were now dead. Everyone said that the Scarlet Duke, although he was a vampire, was very aristocratic on the surface. Although I don't know what vampires will do when they know about this, even human nobles will never spare those who make themselves cuckolds. According to the general rules of the human world, once such a thing is revealed, even without any reliable evidence, it means a duel of life and death. If the husband catches the adulterer and adulteress in the room, then he can only hope that he has no weapons by his side. Otherwise, he will definitely kill his rival on the spot.

Although from Ashrufat's point of view, this was an accident, he did not mean it. But he was sure that the vampire was absolutely impossible to accept his explanation. Not only that, but if the vampire learns the truth, he will be able to deduce everything quickly - and then he will stop at nothing to kill Aerufat.

That's right, at all costs. For jealous men, this is not an outrageous thing.

The vampires haven't returned yet, and if they want to escape, now is the best time to do so. But Ashrufat knew that he couldn't escape, and if he did, then the little princess and Laria would probably have to fall victim to the vampire's wrath.

He didn't even dare to go back to see the twins now. Faure had said that today he would be in contact with the Scarlet Duke about the treatment. Ashrufat could only hope for now that the vampire was unaware of his relationship with the twins until the star was restored (which, according to Faure, took as little as a few hours and two days at most).

Damn, how did things turn out like this?!

In Ashrufat's original plan, his action of rescuing the girl and Laria would elicit a reaction from the vampires, but it would not be excessive. Because the Scarlet Duke seems to be a good-looking man, after his prisoners are rescued from the Dark Castle, he should secretly hunt for fugitives as quietly as possible. It also gave Ashrufat a chance. Although the Scarlet Duke is very powerful, he expects that he will be able to successfully escape from the Scarlet Duke's sphere of influence.

But now it's different. Who knows what the furious Scarlet Duke will do?

"Hey, get out of the way!" a voice rang out. It was a man with a meaty face, wearing simple leather armor and a scimitar at his belt. He arrogantly looked at the stranger in front of him, who was dressed ordinarily (after leaving the Dark Castle, Ashrufat immediately changed into the thief's suit) and had a scar on his face, and pointed with his hand towards the large convoy behind him. This is the kind of common dual-purpose vehicle, in addition to the pile of goods, there are also a few passengers, men and women, who are chatting.

Ashrufat stood up a little abruptly and moved to the side. Now it's time for Faure to meet the Scarlet Duke (though actually with the agent). The twin thing...... It should go well......

Ashrufat was right. At this moment, half a city away from him, in the residence arranged for him by the largest horse merchant in West Vania, Hoshiki and Hoshimi had just finished dressing. In fact, they've been spending a lot of time on it.

Their attire is actually very simple, just ordinary travel clothes rather than evening dresses for the ball, but in order to hide the deformities on the star carving, it is not easy to do. It must be noted that although the star carving is completely able to reveal its true face here, it is worried that its appearance will be noticed - people from other places are fine, but if it is a Gruni, it will probably cause trouble in the future. Therefore, Starmark must maintain its disguise until it enters the Dark Castle.

“...... Almost, but Mr. Faure hasn't come back yet. He clearly said that he would be back in an hour at most. ”

"Maybe something unexpected happened......

The two of them could only guess and wait. But suddenly, Xingke showed a look of intent. She quickly grabbed her sister by the shoulder.

"Get behind me!" she ordered in an undeniable tone, and immediately drew a long sword from her side. It was the sword she had brought back from the Realm of Chaos—one of the weapons that Terror had given her. Because Ashrufat had confirmed that the weapon was only a weapon, she kept it.

The door was opened from the outside. The person who came was not Fur, but a strange woman. A woman who is not tall and wears strange armor. Half of this armor seems to be leather, the other half seems to be metal, it is a rare piece of intimate armor, clinging to the owner's body, almost blending in with the body. The helmet conceals the visitor's nose and mouth, revealing only a pair of eyes.

The twins had seen this kind of armor, which was possessed by Laria, who had been their rival (and later fought alongside) at Eagle Castle. Through the mouth of Ashrufat, they already knew the origin of this armor. So with just one glance, Startick recognized the person as one of the vampire's female guards.

And...... More than one person!

"Who are you and what are you going to do?!" Xingke took the initiative to ask. She had already grasped her belt, and if she pulled it, it was a whip.

"Two young ladies," the vampire's female guard's eyes rested on Starcut's body, "sorry to bother." I take the liberty to inform you that my master wants to see you. ”

"Unfortunately, I don't want to go out right now. Xingke said.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid you don't understand, but in Sivania, my master's request cannot be refused. There was a flash of sharpness in the female guard's eyes. "And my mission is to bring you two back. ”

"Get out!" Xingke waved the whip in his hand. She had used this weapon to kill countless Chaos cultists. After countless actual combat tempering, her current strength is not as simple as the squire and nobleman she once was. i1292
