A few days have passed since the dinner party, but the heavy rain has not stopped yet.
In the main hall on the top floor of the castle, a tall, old figure stood quietly by the window. The window was half-open, and the rain was beating mercilessly on the window, soaking the inside of the house. There was some mess on the ground. But the old man ignored it and kept his gaze.
Staring at the heavy rain outside the window, my mood was as bad as rain.
Thomas pushed open the heavy iron door and walked into the main hall at a slow pace. He glanced at the empty throne and the old man in front of the window. It could be seen that even though he was a prince and the supreme being of the vampire race, he was still mentally and physically exhausted.
hour.
"You're here?..." Charlemagne said slowly, his voice seemed a little tired. Although he had never appeared, the entire Rose Castle was within his domain, and everyone's every move could not escape him.
Eye.
"Yes, Your Highness," Thomas replied.
"I have thought about it for a long time, and it is better to send Allen out of the castle as soon as possible." Charlemagne said slowly, seeming to have made up his mind, "We can't delay it any longer..."
"Is it because of these people from the Mandala clan?" Thomas asked, he was not surprised by this decision.
"It's because of Alexander." Charlemagne sighed: "He even sent out the ability to master pain. I think Alexander had a plan to kill Allen."
"Is it still an equal exchange?" Thomas raised his eyebrows.
The Vampires are inherently bloodthirsty and are more cruel than humans. They fight among themselves even more than other races. Although there is an ancient contract that prohibits members of the same race from killing each other, over the years, conflicts of interest and deaths and injuries are inevitable.
of.
Therefore, the ancient vampires follow a tacit understanding that all things are exchanged with equal value. If the other party dies, and one pays a person of corresponding level and importance, then the conflict can be eliminated. The cause and right and wrong are not important.
, as long as the costs are equal, it is considered fair. The seemingly unreasonable and even absurd tacit understanding has effectively avoided larger-scale conflicts within the vampire clan.
"And that kid named Daniel, he should have some kind of very rare perception ability." Thomas paused and said with a wry smile: "The blood abilities of the three people on this trip are all good, and together they are enough to change a legend.
Super bloodline ability."
"After Alexander woke up, plus Romulus, the Mandala clan had two princes. On the other hand, we originally had three princes, but now Caesar has disappeared. I don't have much life left, and the Rose clan has only three princes.
Our hope lies with Edith." Charlemagne said with some difficulty, he deliberately ignored Ekaterina.
"Edith is over three hundred years old, and has less than two hundred years left in her life. It is difficult to advance in the Void Force. Now the blood pool is even more depleted. She will not be able to recover within a few decades. I'm worried..." Thomas said bitterly.
"Leave these issues to Catherine to worry about. Edith is her precious daughter." Charlemagne sighed: "I hope it's not a mistake for me to wake her up. I'll have to work hard for you next."
"
"Your Highness..." Thomas was a little unwilling.
"Old man... I have lived for more than 1,800 years, and I no longer have the competitive spirit of these young princes." Charlemagne did not speak in a superior tone for the first time, "Now I can only say
Standing here to support our clan. I have a hunch that if I fight at my peak again, it will be the last battle. In the future, I will be more helpful to the clan when I am sleeping than when I wake up."
Thomas had been mentally prepared for a long time, but he was still sad in his heart that another prince and ancestor was about to withdraw from the stage of history.
Thomas then thought of Catherine. Not to mention the relationship between the queen and Caesar, plus the depletion of the blood pool, the Rose Clan would probably perish at the hands of this queen without external aggression.
.Thomas suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness, I hope God will bless our family...
"Go and prepare. In three days, you will take Allen to the Marquis of Hoth in Radia. It is on the edge of darkness. Although there is sunshine, it does not last long. The old men of the Hoth family have long relied on our vampires to provide
He is extremely loyal to us. His human identity can better hide Allen until Caesar returns..." Charlemagne made up his mind, but in fact, he was not sure deep down in his heart.
.
After a thousand years of bloody war, the Vampire Clan no longer directly enslaved humans. The Vampire Clan's own essence and blood can extend the life of ordinary humans. The Vampire Clan relied on this to control and vassal many human families in exchange for large amounts of human blood.
"Understood. Does Edith need to be notified?" Thomas asked carefully.
"Well. If one day Alan is discovered by Catherine, Edith is probably the only one who can save his life." Charlemagne sighed, thinking: "Caesar, I have tried my best...
"
The next day, early in the morning, the rain stopped.
The air is always fresh after the rain. Inside the Rose Castle, Rogers took a casual walk.
Rogers was in a good mood. Since he learned that the blood pool of the Rose Clan was exhausted, he felt that he could give an explanation to His Highness Alexander. Edith was already over three hundred years old. For the earl who lived less than five hundred years, waiting until
Decades later, the blood pool is restored again. How much time does Edith, who possesses the power of the void, have left?
At least in the short term, His Highness the Prince no longer has to worry. There are a lot of things that can be done in decades. As for Allen, the blood pool can be exhausted in five years. How should we understand this matter?
If you think about Allen's extraordinary talent, it is obvious that this absorption ability is really abnormal, but if this is the case, it is obvious that the Rose Clan's own resources alone are not enough to support two geniuses.
Even... Rogers further thought that if one of the two people could be seriously injured, as long as he was seriously injured. Then if nothing unexpected happened, it would be impossible for the Rose Clan to wait until they all grew up. As long as no one died, there was a high probability that he would be able to do it.
You don't have to be involved in an exchange of equal value, and you might even get a reward from the prince.
The more Rogers thought about it, the more comfortable he felt. Every brick and tile in Rose Castle was very pleasing to the eye, especially when he thought about the reward from the prince. Maybe this was where he would soar into the sky. asxs...
"I don't agree!" A woman's voice in front interrupted Rogers' thoughts. Rogers frowned, but was immediately attracted to it. Isn't this Edith? And Thomas...
Thomas' reaction was obviously sharp. He glanced at Rogers with his peripheral vision, and he coughed lightly: "Miss..."
Edith was also a smart person and immediately noticed someone. So the two of them turned around and walked deeper into the castle. Obviously, the topic they wanted to discuss was not suitable for publicity.
This immediately aroused Rogers' interest. Rogers raised the corner of his mouth and turned around to leave without saying anything. He thought to himself, go find Daniel quickly. You may not know how powerful his perception is.
"Uncle Thomas, how can you send Allen out of the castle? Especially to live with humans!" In an inconspicuous room, Edith said angrily: "I firmly disagree!"
"Miss, this is the decision of His Royal Highness Prince Charlemagne." Thomas said helplessly. He did not expect Edith's reaction to be so big.
"As a vampire, how will he survive if he is discovered in human territory?" Edith said reluctantly: "He is only twelve years old, and he has no ability to protect himself at all."
"Miss, please rest assured that the Hoth family is our vassal, and they cannot be harmful to Master Allen. What's more, I will definitely check on you regularly." Thomas insisted.
"That won't work! You don't know how much humans hate us. If anything happens, who can do anything about it thousands of miles away!?" Edith also insisted. In this cold vampire society, she felt that she
Only a child like Allen can be regarded as a relative.
"Sigh... I'll tell you the truth. His Highness Charlemagne has already had this intention. If we didn't put our hope in His Highness Caesar's return and keep delaying it, we would have no choice!" Thomas sighed and hesitated.
: "Alan's situation within the vampire clan is also very dangerous. He is no safer than outside the castle. Not to mention that most people in the castle do not welcome him. He has not been able to evolve his bloodline ability. It stands to reason that he can continue to stay in the castle.
It is also a transgression. You can probably guess what the visiting Mandala clan people are thinking. Alexander has been suppressed by His Highness Caesar for hundreds of years, and he is almost becoming a demon! Even if it is just to prevent it in the future, he
Sooner or later, he will attack Allen. What's more, once your mother, Queen Catherine, wakes up five years later, do you think she can let Allen go? I'm afraid that just knowing Allen's existence will mean that she will be killed.
This castle was demolished."
"Mother..." After hearing about her mother, Edith hesitated. She knew very well that with her mother's character, she might have to scratch Allen alive when the time came, and she might not be able to stop him even if she threatened her with death.
"Is there no hope for Allen?" Edith asked with difficulty. She had been caring for Allen all these years, and she knew from the beginning that his future would be extremely bumpy.
"The only hope is to wait for His Highness Caesar to return." Thomas sighed: "He is a person who should not have been born."
