Tome of Blood

Duke Bold and Earl Broglie exchanged a few words and left.

He left the manor and disappeared at the end of the dream.

Seeing the direction in which the Duke left, Sebas could not help but say:

"I didn't expect the Duke of Bold to be the one behind the Balrog Calamity... It seems that, as rumored, he has never given up looking for a solution to the fertility problem for many years."

"Devil's contract...he really dared to think about it! Although the vampires have always abided by the contract, the price of the contract is not something ordinary people can afford, especially Abaddon, the blood demon prince who is both a demon and a vampire!"

Charlotte frowned slightly:

"Solve the fertility problem... But hasn't he paved the way for Leno to inherit the territory since ten years ago?"

Sebastian thought for a while and said:

"It should be prepared with both hands, master, you don't know, human nobles attach great importance to bloodlines, and they are not weaker than blood clans in this regard."

"I think, maybe this kind of concept is also influenced by the blood race. After all, before the Millennium Jihad, the nobles of the New Moon Kingdom and the blood race were almost equated. Even if it is changed, some concepts will always be passed down."

"Lai Nuo is an illegitimate child after all. Compared with an illegitimate child, the Duke definitely hopes to have a legitimate son as his heir."

"However, people's ideas will change. I remember that His Excellency Leno has only gradually emerged in Boulder in the past seven years. As his potential is gradually revealed, the Duke's expectations of him are also increasing..."

"The Duke of Boulder's health is getting worse and worse. This is not a secret in the Principality. Even if the fertility is restored and there is a new heir, it must not be able to support the heir to adulthood."

"Now he... I'm afraid he has completely given up on the idea of ​​having children."

"In recent years, the Duke of Boulder has been cracking down on the Gorefiend Sect, presumably in order to completely bury his own history and pave the way for Leno."

Charlotte curled her lips unobtrusively, but her heart was full of contempt for the Duke of Bold.

Completely buried?

His history... came at the expense of thousands of innocent girls.

Ten years later, who remembers those innocent girls?

Charlotte recalled all the pictures she had seen in the memories of those girls, and remembered the despair that belonged to them that she felt...

Faintly, the scene in the dungeon slowly coincided with the scenes she saw in her memory.

And this overlapping of memories gradually awakened certain memories sleeping deep in the body she traveled through...

In a trance, she seemed to recall some experiences on the night of the Balrog ten years ago.

She seemed to think of the beautiful grove, and the giggling and running petite figures in the grove...

In an instant, the door of memory opened with a bang——

oh!

correct!

That night, the original body was supposed to be playing hide-and-seek with Sister Broy in the garden...

When it was time for the original body to hide, there was no sign of the Broglie sisters for a long time.

And when the original body came out of the woods with its head on its head... what it saw was the burning sky and the waking Balrog.

"Master, Miss Lottie should not be here, maybe she is still enjoying her birthday party somewhere."

"However, this is indeed the starting point of the Balrog disaster. As a sacrifice, Countess Broyle will definitely appear. Shall we wait here?"

Sebastian looked around and asked respectfully.

"Where are you still enjoying the birthday party?"

Charlotte's heart twitched slightly.

"It's not impossible."

"Master, as far as I know, demons use dreams to lure mortals to fall. There are usually two ways, one is nightmare-like intimidation, and the other is dream-like deception..."

"The starting point of this dream is a birthday dinner, full of happiness, obviously the latter."

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Lottie must be enjoying somewhere in the dream..."

"However, as the end of the fall, she will definitely be brought here by Vala Roka, because the ceremony is the end of this dream."

"Master, I think we can wait here and wait for them to come."

Sebastian expressed his judgment.

However, after listening to his words, Charlotte fell into deep thought.

"Are you enjoying somewhere..."

She was talking to herself, her heart moved slightly.

Looking back from the depths of the dungeon, Charlotte shook her head:

"No, there's no need to wait. I can probably guess where Lottie is."

"Come on, let's go see her."

After speaking, she no longer hesitated, turned and left the dungeon.

Charlotte and Sebastian returned to the ground, and the faint laughter and music in the hall of the manor seemed even more exciting.

Sebas's heart moved, and he said:

"Master, the banquet has reached its climax. As the protagonists, the Broy sisters may already be at the banquet."

However, Charlotte shook her head:

"No, they won't be there. If this dream was the dream of the Balrog Valaroka trying to lure Lottie, they wouldn't appear at the dinner party."

"When I was in the mission hospital, Lottie and I had a lot of exchanges. She is a quiet person, but she doesn't like excitement."

"Her fondest memory . . . is not in the hall of the dinner party."

After speaking, Charlotte did not return to the hall, but turned and walked deeper into the manor.

Sebastian was quite curious about the girl's actions.

But out of his unconditional trust in the great Lady of the Night, he didn't ask too much, but followed closely behind.

The brightly lit hall gradually receded, and the noise also subsided.

Led by Charlotte, the two came to the back of Broglie Manor, in front of a beautiful and dreamy grove.

It really is a dreamy grove.

The watery moonlight slanted down, projecting in the woods, and the brilliance penetrated the rustling branches and leaves, leaving spots of color on the ground.

Countless flying photons danced in the woods like elemental elves.

It was fireflies, countless fireflies.

They are flying freely in the woods, shining beautifully, following the cool and comfortable night wind, like a ribbon of brilliance.

And in the night wind, silver bell-like laughter could be faintly heard, coming from the woods.

Hearing that crisp laughter, Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly:

"Found them."

Taking a deep breath, she took a step and pushed aside the bushes that blocked her view.

In the woods, on an empty meadow, three beautiful and lovely girls were playing happily.

Among them, the two older ones looked twelve or thirteen years old. They both had beautiful brown hair and a lovely white dress.

As for the younger one, it was only four or five years old, with delicate features like a doll with blond hair and blue eyes.

The three were supposed to be playing hide-and-seek, with one older girl counting numbers head-on towards a large tree, while the other two tiptoed towards the bushes.

As soon as the two looked up, they saw Charlotte and Sebastian entering the bushes, and they were all taken aback.

"Someone is coming! Let's run!"

The little girl giggled, then pulled the girl who was several years older than herself and ran into the depths of the woods.

Seeing the figures of the two disappearing into the woods, Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly.

And Sebastian was curious:

"Master...that was in the past just now...you?"

"No, the old me can't see me."

Charlotte shook her head:

"That's... it."

The engagement is over! There is another update tonight!

The editor told me that it will be recommended on 10.6, and I suggest that I don’t rush to make updates these days. It will be more beneficial for follow-up recommendations after the manuscripts are uploaded, so I will make two updates for the time being in these few days.
