Chapter 15: After Doubt
Hearing the sound of the door closing, the old man put the teacup in his hand on the low table next to the wicker chair, slowly turned his head, and looked at me and Riillard with a smile.
"This girl is the queen who has been guarding the king for 400 years. The old man held the rattan chair with both hands, slowly got up, held his cane, and his body was a little rickety.
"Yes. Lard bowed slightly, wanting to step forward to help the old man, but the old man waved his hand and refused, Lard bowed his head and smiled, "The duke is really as ...... as the legend of the outside world"
While the two were talking, I quietly observed from the sidelines.
Although this old man is already full of gorgeous hair, his eyes are still full of strength, which makes people know at first sight that this person is extremely heroic, even if he is leaning down, he has a perseverance that people dare not despise.
The most important thing is that Larard, as a king, will have a lot of respect for this old man.
This is what Danny calls Duke Hammer.
"How can the outside world be reliable!" Although he was talking to Lillard, Duke Hammer looked at me with a smile, "The woman who can keep the king for so long must be extraordinary, right?"
Maybe there is, but it's definitely not what I have now.
The Duke laughed, and Hatherine was just a wretched creature who had slept so long that she had forgotten about herself. "I stood next to Lillard and gently took his arm and tried to look natural.
Duke Hammer's eyes looked like scrutiny and questioning, and I was a little scared.
Sensing my uneasiness, Lard took over the topic with a smile, "I don't know if the Duke is looking for me this time, but what's the matter?"
Duke Hammer gave me another deep look before slowly turning to Llard, "There are many people who have been attacked by the blood clan in the north of the ranch, so I want to ask the king for an explanation. ”
The pasture is on the northern outskirts of the city, where the sun is shining and the water is abundant, which is suitable for sheep grass grazing, and was circled more than 400 years ago as a pasture for the children of the nobility to squander their time.
In the place where the children of the nobles gathered, it was found that the blood clan attacked the humans, and most of the people who were attacked were nobles and their domestic servants.
Duke Hammer squinted at me, I smiled and bowed my head silently, vampires are afraid of the sun, Duke Hammer will not be unaware, the northern part of the ranch is a place where the blood clan will never appear, this is also recognized.
The Duke suspected that it was the Bloods who attacked the humans in the north of the ranch, and the first to suspect was Llard and me.
Because as vampire aristocrats, we are not afraid of light.
"The ranch is sunny......" Illard did not answer Duke Hammer directly, but turned to me, "if it weren't for the fact that you are still weak, I would have gone there with you for horseback riding." ”
"It's been a long time since I've been horseback riding. ”
I remember that in the paintings in the castle, there were a lot of pictures of me and Lard riding together, and I looked really good in a riding costume, but it was just ......
Duke Hammer led me and Liillard to the door of another room, and raised his hand to beckon the maid who had passed by.
"It is not advisable for a third person to know what you want to talk to a guest, so ......," the Duke looked at Larard apologetically, and then gave orders to the maid, "Take this lady for a walk in the garden." ”
I walked slowly behind the maid, still thinking about what the Duke had just said, and that it was not appropriate for a third person to know the secret, and if I went back and asked Rieard, he would tell me, right?
The garden of the Duke's house was very large and beautiful, but there were too many tall old trees, which blocked the view, and made me very uncomfortable, and I was reluctant to go, so as soon as I walked out of the small building, I waved my hand to let the maid leave, and I wanted to walk around the garden by myself.
"Katie?"
A familiar voice came from behind me, and I turned my head to see Danny standing guardedly next to a man in a white gown.
