Chapter XII
The group of demons in the Demon City on the mountain peak were as anxious as ants on a hot pan at this moment?
Their master had disappeared for a month without a trace, and their chief guard, Lord Death, had suddenly become another person. Then, he was kidnapped by the impatient Duchess who would turn horny whenever she saw a beautiful man. Now, they didn't know whether to stay in the city to protect the Demon City or to chase after him and snatch him back. The demons discussed.
"Everyone, quiet down." Simon said loudly," Even if you all chase after them, you won't be as strong as them. Moreover, the seal of Demon City has been opened. Victoria City can enter, so the other Blood Breeds can also enter. So, the most important thing is to protect the safety of Demon City and wait for the Earl to come. As for Al-Reinado, I will handle it."”With that, Simon prepared to leave the city.
"Stop, stop, you can't leave." Sean, who had just come down from the top of the city to the square, grabbed Simon and said,""You're so heavily injured and you still want to leave the city. Are you trying to kill my master?”
"B-but what about Reinaldo? He was captured by Victoria. The longer he dragged on, the more dangerous he would be.”asked Simon, who had been dragged back by the strange old man.
"Master has already been out for a month. The poison in his body should be almost cleared. He must have sensed the injury you just suffered. No matter where he is, he will rush back as soon as possible. Let's wait patiently. Besides, you can't even lift your hand now.”
" I-I, b-but," Simon stammered anxiously.
"Alright, don't be anxious. Help me settle these injured people first and let me heal them.”After saying that, Sean walked toward the hall inside the castle gate.
Simon looked at the injured monsters around him. "Everyone, listen up. Return to your respective posts and guard every corner of Demon City. We can't allow anyone to come and go freely in the city.”
Simon pointed at a few strong Minotaurs and said,""Move all the injured people to the hall and treat Sean. Before the Earl returns, all operations in Demon City must be approved by me. Without my orders, no one is allowed to leave their posts. Do you understand?”
" Yes," all the monsters answered in unison.
"Then let's hurry up and act." Simon commanded the demon army.
All the demons went to do their own things in an orderly manner. Simon also came to the hall to help Sean take care of the injured.
After Dracula left Felicia, he flew back to Demon City at lightning speed. He stopped outside the castle wall and disguised himself as a Count.
Then, he walked straight to the castle. When the soldiers guarding the gate saw the arrival of Dracula's master, they were all so surprised that their mouths were wide open. It was not until Dracula quickly walked past them that they reacted.
"Ah, Master, you're finally back.。。。。。”
Dracula waved at them and said," You guys stay at your posts. I'll take care of the rest.”
" Yes, Master," all the soldiers answered in unison.
Dracula's arrival seemed to have given them a shot in the arm. Everyone returned to their posts in high spirits and stood guard at the door.
After passing through the square, Dracula saw a large amount of blood on the ground. He could not help but quicken his pace to the hall. The heavy door in the hall that required a few people to open was pushed open by him.
The ancient wooden door creaked. Everyone in the hall looked at the door at the same time. The Earl, whom they had been waiting for day and night, was standing in front of them.
Dracula arrived at the hall amidst the silence. Suddenly, there was a loud cheer in the hall." The master is back! Long live!" Wow, that's great. Master is finally back.”
Simon pushed aside the group of agitated demons surrounding Dracula and came before him. "Count, you're finally back."
Dracula nodded at him. Then, he gently lifted Simon's arm and used his spiritual power to heal him."How could you be so careless? Does it still hurt?”Dracula asked.
"It's just a small injury. I'm fine," Simon said with a frown. However…"
"My arm was almost broken, and you said it was a small injury.”
Dracula interrupted Simon and glared at him.""I'll treat you now, but you can't use your arm for the time being. You can only use your whip after it's completely healed.”
"I know, I know." Simon said guiltily.
"Where's Alubis? What was he doing? Why were so many people injured? With his spiritual power, I don't believe there's anything he can't handle.”Dracula looked around for traces of Alubis.
"I wanted to tell you about this just now. Aleubis has been captured by Victoria.”Simon said hurriedly.
"Victoria, that Victoria, could it be the Duchess of Junstan?”Dracula asked in confusion.
"It's her. Who else would be so bold as to kidnap people in Demon City other than that old lecher?”said Simon angrily.
"Victoria was able to catch Alubis with her skills? And with my understanding of her, how could she let you go and go after him instead?”Dracula asked in disbelief.
" That's because she found Reinaldo under the mask. The reason why Aleubis was so weak that he was captured by Victoria was because after you disappeared, the Demon City was sealed by a girl's barrier. All of us participated in the struggle to break the seal, but it didn't work. In the end, Reinaldo used Black Feather's Doppelganger Technique and spent more than ten days to break the barrier. However, he consumed a lot of magic power. You know how serious the aftereffects of Doppelganger Technique are. My spiritual power came from you, but you were injured and not in the city, so my magic power was greatly reduced, which allowed Victoria to take advantage of the loophole.”Simon said in annoyance.
"Ah, Master, you're back!" Sean, who had just finished treating the seriously injured, walked out of the room.
"Oh, I'm back, but I'm about to set off and bring Alubis back. You and Simon stay in the city and help me take care of the things in the city.”After saying that, Dracula spread his giant wings and was about to leave.
"Ah, Master, wait a moment." Sean stopped Dracula and whispered in his ear,""Please follow me to the side hall.”After saying that, he pulled Dracula into the side hall without caring whether Dracula agreed or not.
"Master, there's no one here now. Take off your disguise.”Sean looked around and said.
"Why?" Dracula asked.
"If I tell you to unload it, then quickly unload it!" Sean said anxiously.
Dracula had a special feeling for this old man who had watched him grow up. He obeyed his orders and returned to his original appearance.
Sean carefully observed his expression and opened his eyelids to take a look. "Open your mouth!"
" Ah!" Dracula opened his mouth obediently. In the end, Sean leaned against his chest and listened.
"It seems that your poison has not been completely removed. On the one hand, you did not drink the medicine I made. On the other hand, you were burned by the sun after leaving the city.”
" How did you know?" Dracula asked in surprise.
Sean raised his right hand and said," The burn marks on your hand haven't subsided. This is enough to prove that your magic power hasn't fully recovered." You can't go out rashly. What if your magic power suddenly runs out?”
" Don't worry, my mana has almost recovered. It's not a problem to deal with a low-level Blood Breed like Victoria. Besides, I'm not a child. I'll adapt to the situation. I won't act rashly. But I really have to set off quickly. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Reinaldo will be swallowed by Victoria.”After saying that, he turned back to his original form and walked out.
"Child, you have to be careful." Sean followed closely behind him.
Dracula nodded and quickly flew out of the castle through the hall towards the Rose Castle, the Victoria City's lair.
There were several mountains between Tranvania and Junstamble, and it would take an ordinary person ten days to half a month to reach there. However, Dracula took less than half a night to see the castle covered in roses in the flat valley of Junstamble.
Suddenly, Dracula, who was flying in the air, felt the magic power in his body disappear, and his huge wings disappeared in an instant. "Ah…" Dracula, who had lost his power, tumbled down in the air. He flipped his body in the air and tried his best to maintain his balance before standing firmly on the ground.
"Fortunately, I'm a vampire. Otherwise, I would have become meat paste.”Dracula patted his chest in shock.
What should he do now? This damn spiritual power just had to disappear at this time. Dracula ran toward the castle. He had been looking at the castle not far away from the sky just now. Why hadn't he arrived after running for so long?
He looked up at the sky that was gradually turning white in the distance. He took a deep breath and quickened his pace towards the castle. They finally arrived at Rose City before the sun rose. The walls of the castle were made of rose thorns.
Dracula carefully grabbed the two thorns and tore them apart. Then, he ducked and crawled through the thorns. Ah, my clothes are torn. Oh, my hair is caught.
Just as Dracula was untying his hair in a sorry state, a red shadow flew past him. I was rushing as fast as possible. I didn't expect Victoria to fly so fast with her spiritual power. I actually rushed ahead of them.
Dracula slapped his forehead helplessly. Then, he quickly passed through the thorny wall and finally sneaked into the city when the first ray of sunlight shone on the city gate.
In the city, Duchess Victoria was instructing her servants to put Reinhardt, who was unconscious and tied up, into the bedroom. She was also eager to return to her coffin to rest.
It seemed that Victoria had consumed a lot of mana that night. Now she needed to replenish her physical strength. Reinado should be safe for the time being. I should take this time to rest. When my mana recovered, I will settle the score with her. Having made up his mind, Dracula quietly lurked in the dark and waited for his spiritual power to recover.
At this time, Felicia was experiencing the most difficult day of her life.
This morning, Aunt Sophie came to wake her up and said that Uncle Steve had something to say to her. Thus, the drowsy Felicia followed her aunt to the dining table.
"Good morning, Uncle. Is there anything you need from me?”Felicia sat down obediently.
"Ah, Felicia, my lovely niece.”Steve smiled and said," Ever since your parents passed away, we've been taking care of you. You're not young anymore, and we're too old to take care of you." So we've found you a rich and powerful man to be your husband. He'll pick you up later. What do you think?”
"Uncle, I'm only seventeen years old. I don't want to marry that person.”Felicia flatly refused.
Steve slammed his palm on the table and said,""You eat my food, use my food, and do whatever I tell you to do.”
"No, I can't marry him, never.”Felicia said with tears in her eyes," Uncle, I beg you, don't marry me off. Just one day, one day."”
" You!" Steve raised his hand in anger and was about to slap her, but Aunt Sophie stopped him and gave him a look.
"Baby, tell me, why don't you marry that rich and powerful person? You even said that you only need one day?”
"I-I…" Felicia blushed and said,"I already have a lover. He said that he would pick me up tonight and marry me.”
"Y-you have a lover? Who was it? When did this happen?" Sophie asked in surprise.
"H-him." Felicia raised the cup in front of her and drank some water."He is Count Dracula, who is in charge of Transwania.”
"Hahaha!" Steve laughed loudly."If you want to lie, you have to make it sound decent. Everyone knows that Dracula is a vampire. Although we live at the foot of Transwania Mountain, we have never seen him. Usually, it is his subordinates who pass the message to us. Everyone here knows that the old vampire never goes out.”
"I didn't lie. He was injured at that time, so he stayed in our small cellar to heal. We've been together for a month. We love each other deeply and are engaged to each other for life. He said that he would come to pick me up tonight and meet you.”Felicia tried her best to explain.
"You're saying that someone once stayed in our cellar for a month, and that person was our lord, the Earl?”Steve said in disbelief.
"I didn't lie to you. It's true, Aunt Sophie. Do you remember how many chickens were missing from the house?”
"I remember that you said you were eaten by wild dogs. I even taught you a lesson for this.”Sophie replied.
"I killed him when I gave him blood to drink. You know that Dracula is a vampire, right?”Felicia said, looking at them.
"Then you said that the person you saved was Dracula. You have to have some proof, right?”Sophie asked.
"Ah, I have it, I have it." Felicia said as she took off the ring on her finger."This is the ring he gave me. It has his family crest on it.”
Steve's eyes lit up. He quickly grabbed the ring and looked at it carefully. It was an ancient ring. The emerald ring was surrounded by a large letter.
The entire gemstone was emitting a sparkling light. "This is really the Vlad family's crest. How did you get it?”Steve asked greedily as he held the ring.
"I told you, it was a token he gave me. He also said that he would bring you treasures that would allow you to live a lifetime without worrying about food and drink.”
"Ha, Felicia, you are our baby. Your happiness is what we want the most. We don't care about wealth.”"Since you said he'll be here tonight, we'll wait," Aunt Sophie said happily.”
"But, but…”Steve wanted to say something, but Sophie stopped him with a look.
"Felicia, you don't have to do the housework today. Go back to your room and prepare some. I will bring your three meals to your room. We will keep this ring for you for the time being. I will return it to you when he comes.”Sophie said with a smile. Felicia nodded and went back to her room.
"Why did you agree to her? You clearly know that I owe them a lot of gambling debts. Today, I have to give Felicia to them to pay off their debts.”Steve complained.
" What do you know?" Sophie glared at Steve. "This ring is obviously expensive. If Felicia is telling the truth, then we will be rich. Wouldn't it be the same if I pacify her now and give her to Dimitri after tonight?”
"Yes, yes, yes. You're really thoughtful.”The two vicious people were eating their breakfast with evil smiles on their faces.。。。。。
