As always, came to the kitchen.

The other people in the kitchen all smiled and shook their heads when they saw Li Meng.

They knew that Li Meng was going to make his best breakfast again and to please his "little lover".

Of course, this is just what these people say behind their backs. They could only secretly take the affairs of Lemon and Miss Anne as after-dinner gossip, and if these words were heard by the people in charge of the castle, then the Grand Duke of Glia would not mind changing them for a few broken-mouthed servants.

While making breakfast for Anne, Li Meng also baked a few pieces of bread and ate them to replenish his strength.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the voice in his head that kept urging him, Li Meng would not have been in a hurry to do these things.

Now, mix the holy water into the milk for her breakfast...... It doesn't take much, ten drops is enough. After breakfast is delivered, you need to leave her briefly...... Don't go too far, though...... When you hear her wail...... Be the first to get to her room and stab your weapon in her heart......"

Finally, when it was time for breakfast, Li Meng came to the outside of Anne's bedroom with the delicacies he had carefully prepared for Anne and added holy water, and he knocked lightly on the door.

"Is it Li Meng? Come in, come in!"

Hearing Anne's joyful voice, Li Meng pushed open the door and walked in, frowning the first time he entered......

Because, he smelled the faint smell of blood in Anne's bedroom.

"Anne...... Do you have any strange smell here?"

Li Meng put breakfast on the table in front of Anne's bed, and carefully observed the surroundings, Anne was lying in her bed, and Anne's bedroom was still the same as usual, nothing had changed, but Li Meng always felt that something was strange.

Feeling Li Meng's suspicious gaze, "Annie" showed an unnatural smile on her face.

"Nope...... I feel good...... Oh, by the way, is it because you didn't open the windows to let in the air? It was so windy last night......

Annie's smile looked fake, and Li Meng instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but nodded to Annie, and then opened the window in Annie's bedroom.

"Li Meng, do you really want to leave?"

Just as Li Meng was about to leave after doing this, he heard the aggrieved voice of "Annie" behind him.

“...... Sorry, I don't know. ”

This time, Li Meng hesitated and shook his head.

He always felt that he was not in his right mind and did not know how to answer "Annie".

Because of the psychic suggestion of magic, "Annie" could only read simple thoughts in Limmond's mind......

In this case, "Annie" can only understand that Li Meng has not yet recovered from his weakness...... However, even "Annie" is very curious, where did Li Meng go yesterday?

Li Meng is very important to "Annie", and "Annie" has also decided that if Li Meng answers today or yesterday, she will not hesitate to use the charm and secret art of the blood clan on him.

Once the charm succeeds, Li Meng will become a puppet who only obeys her orders.

As soon as she thought of this, "Annie" couldn't contain the excitement in her heart.

Because, Lemon's blood ......

However, the original owner of this body seems to have a special affection for Li Meng, and this affection is reflected in "Annie's" attitude towards Li Meng.

Even the innate cruelty of the Blood Clan did not make "Annie" decide to turn Li Meng into her own blood slave.

"Hmm...... All right...... I'd love to have you by my side...... You can seriously think about it when you go back, if you promise to stay and play with me...... I'll convince my father to make some compensations to your family......"

"Annie" hesitated to say these words, though she didn't know why she said them. When Li Meng heard this, he nodded silently, and then left without looking back.

After sensing that Li Meng was far away, "Annie" lying on the bed sat up.

Her quilt was lifted as a matter of course......

In the quilt of "Annie", wrapped in a woman who had long since lost her breath, staring at the ceiling with vacant eyes and shriveled skin...... Girlish......

"Annie" had an emotional breakdown after Lee Meng disappeared yesterday.

To her, Lemon is the supreme delicacy, and Lemon's blood plays a very important role in suppressing the curse of the Morkawi clan.

On top of that, "Annie" is visibly aware of another soul hidden in her body besides Anne - Encore, the progenitor of Mokawi.

After that night of the Blood Moon, Akasha took possession of Anne's body.

Akasha didn't dare to tell Glia the news that she had occupied Annie's body, otherwise she, as a Blood Clan Soul, would be like transparent glass under the research of many Morkavi Elders, and not a single secret would be excavated!

Akasha was also afraid to tell the others about Encore's existence, because that was the secret she wanted to hide...... If Gloya and the others believe that they have an encore soul in them, then they will not hesitate to erase themselves and let encore take over their current body......

As soon as she thought of this, Akasha shuddered involuntarily...... Then, she saw the body of the girl beside her......

Akasha licked her lips reluctantly, and then snapped her fingers.

The girl's body was enveloped in a pitch-black flame until it burned to the ground...... This pitch-black flame never spread to other places.

With that done, Akasha slowly left her large bed and made her way to the table.

The breakfast that Li Meng had carefully prepared for her was still steaming.

A smile unconsciously appeared on Akasha's lips...... She really wanted to make peace with Li Meng...... His unique blood has the effect of suppressing the soul of encore......

Akasha picked up the glass full of milk as usual—she was a Blood, and she didn't need to eat human food, but because it was made by Lemon......

Thinking of this, Akasha's heart was inexplicably filled with a feeling called happiness......

A moment later.

"Uhh......hhh Ahh

Hearing the screams of "Annie", Li Meng, who had not gone far, turned around and ran towards Annie's room without hesitation.

Since this is the core area of the castle, there are relatively few servants serving here.

The Grand Duke of Glia has not been able to find anyone for the past few days, and he does not know what he is doing, while Master Spieg has been following the Grand Duke of Grea.

As a result, there are very few people in this core area right now......

Pushing open the door, Li Meng saw "Annie" holding her throat and falling to the ground trying to relieve the pain by rolling.

On the ground, the delicate glass had been shattered to pieces. And from the mouth of "Annie", a violent white mist also appeared.

When "Annie" found out that Li Meng had come in, her eyes were filled with disbelief as she struggled to control her body from trembling with the violent reaction to the holy water, and Anne looked at Li Meng with resentment.

"For ...... Why ......"

“......”

"Why...... You want...... Do ...... doing so"

"Now, talk a little less, and soon it'll be fine. ”

"No ......"

Under the desperate gaze of "Annie", Li Meng silently took out the silver knife from his pocket, he held the knife in his hand, and slowly came to "Annie".

"Whatever she says or does...... Don't hesitate to plunge your weapon into her heart......"

The annoying voice reappeared in Li Meng's head.

Li Meng crouched down, held down "Annie" who was trying to avoid him, and aimed the silver knife at Annie's heart......

However, when he saw the sudden sadness on "Annie's" face, his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Quick, hands-on ......"

The voice began to urge rarely.

But Li Meng never succeeded......

The spirit suggestive magic engraved on Li Meng's soul appeared a crack, a clear crack......

"Don't be fooled by her! she's Akasha, not Annie!"

The voice became even more anxious, and Li Meng struggled to control his thoughts, he didn't want to be led by that voice anymore......

Li Meng...... It's me, I'm Anne...... He's lying to you, I'm not Akasha......"

At this moment, "Annie" suddenly spoke, and she begged Li Meng and told him who she was.

However, when Li Meng heard the words of "Annie", his eyes became clear...... and calm.

“...... You shouldn't have told me that......"

After saying that, Li Meng did not hesitate to stab the silver knife into "Annie's" heart.

"Annie" opened her mouth to say something, but was unable to do so.

Then, Li Meng staggered to his feet, and finally, he sat down on the ground behind him. Sweat had soaked his clothes.

The silver knife didn't go too deep, but the strange thing was that after being stabbed with the silver knife, "Annie" didn't bleed.

However, her heart stopped beating......

"Li Meng, you did it...... Can you tell me why you made up your mind in the end...... I thought you had been deceived by Akasha......"

The voice appeared in Li Meng's mind again, and this time, the voice was full of doubts.

Li Meng was silent for a moment, and then muttered to himself, "On the first day of separation, Anne told me that she could read my thoughts...... After that, she drew a lot of intricate symbols in front of me...... She said that with those symbols, she wouldn't snoop into my thoughts...... I don't know much about these things, though......"

"Hmm...... Truly...... Indeed, these things are ...... A blood oath is a pact between two souls...... When Akasha replaced Anne, the Blood Oath was no longer valid...... So...... I'm leaving...... Li Meng, promise me one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"When Anne wakes up, I want you to give her a little more gift......"

"What little gift?"

"You'll know later......"

The voice was gone, and Li Meng shook his head......

Suddenly, he felt a ...... in his head Relaxed......

Li Meng looked at Anne, who was lying on the ground who had been injured by him, with a panicked expression on his face.

"This ...... I did all this?"

Li Meng looked at his right hand in disbelief, it was this hand that had just stabbed the silver knife into Anne's heart.

Memories come back to me.

Bringing breakfast to Anne that day, the memory of being asked by her......

Today, I inexplicably went out of the city, bought holy water, and the memory of making a silver knife......

Why do you do this?

Li Meng vaguely heard a voice repeating the name Silverblade Ledger to himself......

He also vaguely saw a starry sky flash in front of his eyes......

There is also a garden of blood-colored roses that stands alone in the gray world......

and the girl in the center of the garden, sitting quietly on a chaise longue reading a book......

......

At this moment, Li Meng's peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of Anne's suddenly trembling fingers.

He returned his gaze to the girl in front of him who had fallen to the ground.

"Plop...... Plop ......"

This is the sound of the heart beating......

Suddenly, Anne sat up, and she looked blankly at her surroundings, as well as at Limon ......

"Li Meng, where am I?"
