The moonlight shone on the open space of Mancao Manor, and everyone stared blankly at the two children lying on the ground. There was silence for a while.

Thales lay down on the ground panting, with nothing on his naked upper body except the bandage for the wound. He only felt cold and pain.

The little silver-haired girl in her arms pressed his shoulders and raised her body expressionlessly. She saw the bandage on his chest - underneath was the burning wound the size of a silver coin - smelled the blood on it and revealed

An expression of anticipation and ecstasy.

This expression frightened Thales and he quickly sat up. Before the danger - Thales had already thought of her as a boss monster that could turn into a vampire mummy at any time - the vampire girl could not show her fangs.

She pushed away from the embrace.

Yodel and Chris appeared in front of the two children in an instant.

"I'm fine, Yodel, don't worry." Thales saw the wound on the secret guard's chest and showed a tired smile. The latter took off his cloak outside of his tights and put it on Thales.

Thales nodded: "Before, there was an urgent matter that had to be dealt with."

He turned to the other direction, where there was a big pit, where a half-dead man without legs was lying.

Ghost in the Wind, Midela Rolfe, the struggler who breaks free from the shackles.

A survivor who refuses to die in order to escape his pain.

"Mr. Gilbert, please save that man," Thales' eyes dimmed, but he said firmly to Gilbert in the distance: "If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have been able to survive your appearance."

Also, the time traveler said in his heart: He is the first person he has saved in a real sense in this damn world.

Gilbert nodded and commanded the finisher swordsman beside him to rescue Rolf.

"Your Highness!" Chris's lifeless face was now filled with excitement. He knelt on one knee in front of the silver-haired little Lolita. There was already a blanket in his hand, and he tremblingly put it on her.

Thales's shirt was not big enough and was torn in many places. It could only cover the little girl's knees. The two white calves of the little girl below the knees were exposed. When Chris thought of this, he looked fiercely.

Look at Thales.

Although Your Highness has a noble status and does not care about the eyes of ants at all, Chris, as the loyal butler of the Corleone family for more than 600 years, naturally has to consider everything for his mistress.

"Your Highness, you finally woke up!"

The cute red-eyed little girl nodded expressionlessly, holding the hand that Chris handed her out of habit, and using the tone unique to a superior, she said word by word: "Chris, you did a good job."

I saw this little loli with a baby-fat round face, using a childish and cute voice, vague and babbling:

"Loyalty will be rewarded."

Thales next to him took two seconds to understand the meaning of this sentence.

Loyalty will be rewarded.

Then he burst out laughing.

Such serious words, said in the mouth of a young lolita with leaky teeth, look really terrible.

Chris, who was nodding gratefully, glared at him.

"Are you - Your Highness?" Laurana and Eastlund flashed in front of the little Lolita, their faces uncertain. The former looked at her short figure and asked cautiously: "Why do you look like this?

?”

I saw the little Loli raising her red eyes, looking at Thales with a complex expression, and then said nonchalantly:

"As long as I fly to Fu Li Niang, I will become as fat as before."

After saying that, the little Loli looked at Thales's expression of suppressing a smile and seemed unaware of her pronunciation problem.

So, with a cold face, she asked with a hint of confusion:

"What's so showy?"

Thales couldn't help it anymore and burst into laughter.

At this time, the three vampires all looked at him with evil eyes, and Eastlen looked at him with an extra layer of vigilance and awe.

"No, haha ​​- cough cough" the time traveler quickly covered it up with an unprofessional cough: "Nothing to show off - haha ​​- cough cough - I'm sorry."

Gilbert, who had tied up the Terminator Swordsman, and Jinni walked up together. The former leaned on a cane, respectfully took off his hat and saluted: "Dear Mr. Thales, and this lovely vampire lady, maybe you don't

Would you mind explaining the situation to us?"

Thales put away his smile and glanced at Gilbert gratefully.

"Mr. Gilbert, thank you for your rescue and sacrifice."

But he suddenly felt that behind Gilbert, the charming lady in her forties was looking at him with a complicated expression, and the meaning in her eyes was profound and unclear.

Is this the boy?

He and - that man's son.

Jinni's eyes suddenly darkened.

Thales didn't think too much. He turned around and continued: "Let's postpone the self-introduction for now. Enough blood has been shed tonight. For this reason, this person and I..." At this point, he glanced at

The little loli, who was obviously childish and cute, but had a straight face, paused:

"Sister Serena Corleone—uh, ma'am!" Seeing the red-eyed loli's unfriendly expression, he quickly changed his words.

"Following friendly and pleasant consultations..."

The little loli Serena suddenly felt a little itchy on her neck and curled her lips without knowing it.

"We decided to put aside our grudges, end our hostilities, and conclude an alliance. I will provide Her Highness Serena with my blood on a regular basis, and Her Highness Serena and her subordinates will serve me until..."

Before Thales could finish his words, he felt Yoder's hand tighten suddenly, and was interrupted anxiously by two people:

"Why do we have to work for you? We can exchange for other benefits, but at worst we can just walk away..." This is Laurana, a vampire with red hair and an evil face.

"Mr. Thales! Your blood? It's too dangerous. How can this be allowed..." This is Gilbert who is eager to protect his master.

But Thales just suddenly raised his right hand and then made a fist fiercely.

This was a gesture he often used to calm down increasingly heated and out-of-focus discussions during discussion classes with college students in his previous life.

The two of them were choked up at the same time.

The traveler took a deep breath.

Thales left Yodel's support, ignored Gilbert's obstruction, slowly walked towards the vampires, and said softly: "You work for me in exchange for my protection."

"And I will provide shelter for you, a group of homeless political refugees who can only eat and drink under the banner of Corleone and under the sign of iris, in the Kingdom of Stars. I am better than the owner of this manor.

Better shelter.”

Chris, Eastlund and Laurana's expressions all changed and they looked at Serena.

But the little loli with silver hair and red eyes just snorted coldly: "I didn't tell him anything, he found it out on his own."

Guess?

He was at odds with the Blood Bottle Gang, he was not of the same mind as the owner of the manor, Easterlund's words "In view of our current situation", and the coffin on the third floor that looked like a swimming pool but was actually a large nursing ward.

The traveler thought silently in his heart, summarizing all these factors and signs, isn't it obvious?

He knew that the vampires on the opposite side were extremely wary of him, but it didn't matter, at least the current matter was resolved.

Thales turned his head and looked at Gilbert and Yodel sincerely.

"Gilbert, Yodel, please trust me. I will provide blood to help Her Highness Selina fly back - ahem - recover without harming her health."

"I exchanged this promise for my safety and the friendship with Her Highness Serena."

Gilbert stared at Thales for a long time.

But Jinni behind her took a step forward with complicated eyes and said softly: "Gilbert, this is the promise he made - it is also the promise made by their family."

Just like he did back then.

She added silently in her heart.

Gilbert sighed deeply, nodded to Thales and said, "Of course we believe you - but I will report it to..."

Thales smiled softly.

He turned around, put the vampires into the sight of others, and said softly:

"Then, let me make a formal introduction..."

But before he could finish speaking, Chris on the other side took a solemn step forward and said solemnly:

"No trouble."

"In front of everyone..." He gently supported the little Lolita at his hand, who walked forward unsteadily.

"The Kingdom of Night in the Eastern Continent, the head of the seven major families, the true heir of the Corleone family, the legal and orthodox ruler of the Hill of Pain, the Archduchess, Serena L.A. Van Corleone

Your Highness (her_highness).”

Chris looked at several humans with arrogance. Behind him, Laurana and Eastlen both showed glorious expressions.

Serena, with her five- or six-year-old appearance, lowered her round face, pinched her non-existent skirt, gave a bow, and then raised her head expressionlessly.

Thales curled his lips inwardly - he felt so awesome.

Gilbert and Jinnie looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.
