The little girl noticed the changes in Lalia's clothes. In the past, Lalia had been wearing her strange color-changing armor. But at this moment, the armor had been peeled off from her. She was wearing a very simple white sleeveless linen jacket with homogeneous pants on her lower body. This suit easily reminded people of "prisoner uniforms", although the fact is the case.

"Vampire? But what are vampires doing here?"

"Come and catch me." Lalia said in an understatement. "Her Majesty, I remember telling you that my power comes from vampires. I gained freedom through a vampire's negligence. Haha... he could not allow the servant to escape. I always felt that I could hide it... As a result, I was still careless."

"How did he know?" the little girl asked in confusion. Vampires were just vampires after all, not gods, and they would not be omniscient and omnipotent.

"A few years ago, I met a past companion in Hawk City." Lalia replied. "Actually, I should have found a place to hide, but in the end I was... sorry, I have implicated you, Her Majesty the Queen. The vampire servants caught me, because you are with me, and they caught you too."

"I...what will happen to us?"

"I don't know." Lalia shook her head. "I'm afraid she has to wait for the vampire verdict." She thought for a while and added. "He might suck the blood of both of us, or humiliate us to death, and of course it is possible that the two are two in one."

The little girl's face changed instantly. "Is that...the ransom...no?"

"I'm afraid it won't work." Lalia said self-deprecatingly. "My escape... may make the vampire furious. I heard that vampires have always regarded themselves as nobles and are very concerned about their face. He will never tolerate my defection. Because my defection is equivalent to giving him a slap in front of all his servants. Now, he will never let me go." She lowered her head. "I'm sorry, your Majesty, I have implicated you."

This is the third time she has apologized to the little girl.

"Will you die?" the little girl asked again after a few seconds.

"I'm afraid it's certain." Lalia replied. "I'm very unwilling to accept it, are you?"

The little girl nodded. She had indeed experienced a lot compared to her fellow men in the same year, so she could still remain calm after knowing such a bad thing.

"I originally thought... I could wait until he came back." The little girl said softly. "At that time, he could see a... a different me. I am no longer so childish and no longer have to rely on him to make any decisions..."

"Ah, Her Majesty the Queen, it's really..."

"No, I don't blame you!" the little girl said quickly. Although Lalia seemed calm on the surface, she also understood that Lalia was equally afraid and uneasy. No one in this world could remain calm in the face of death, unless she was a madman or a saint.

She lowered her head and thought, "If Ashu Rufate hadn't gone to Chaos Territory, he would have come to save us." She asked at Lalia.

"Yes, if he hadn't gone to the Chaos Realm..." Lalia smiled, but tears couldn't help but shed. She was not a loss. During the years of free activities, she did everything she wanted to do, including helping her sister find a good marriage. She had also received a letter from her sister about her pregnancy... Now, even if she dies, there is nothing to regret. "He will definitely save us."

"No one can save you!" A voice suddenly interrupted the conversation. The little girl then found that there was a person sitting next to her. The cage occupied most of the carriage, and the man was sitting outside the cage. The little girl looked at the other party and saw a very young and beautiful face, golden eyes, as if she was walking down from an illustration.

However, that was just a face. The strange girl outside was wearing the strange armor that Lalia once had. She was holding a long sheathed sword in her arms. When she saw this person, she could feel a disturbing aura. She could instinctively feel that she and Lalia were very similar - not appearance, but inner.

This should be the vampire servant. But for some reason, I didn't feel any particular hostility on the face of this strange beautiful girl.

"Give up, wait and see how the Duke dealt with you. If you have free time, pray to the God you worship. Pray that the Duke can spare your life."

"Wait a minute," said Lalia. "I know you're here for me...but why did you catch her too?"

"It's just a matter of course." The girl replied. "Captain Fei's orders cannot be witnessed. She should have died long ago, but for the sake of her desire to protect you, we will bring her back."

At this time, the sound of unlocking came from outside. Someone opened the carriage door. The guard in the carriage got out as lightly as a cat and changed to an equally beautiful girl. The newcomer also brought a water bag.

The little girl licked her lips and found that she was very thirsty. No, not only was she thirsty, but her stomach was also rumbling.

"I'm hungry?" asked the new girl outside. "That thing is so powerful, so many geniuses have woken up!"

"So many days?" the little girl suddenly realized. "We have left Groney?"

"I've left long ago!" The new guard laughed. "Now, we are already in Sivania."

"How is it possible..."

"We were hit with a special drug," Lalia explained. "It will make us feel drowsy and involuntarily moving. However, our bodies can still move, eat, drink, defecate, and sleep, but our minds are not clear."

"After leaving Groney, there was no replenishment of drugs." The new guard replied. "But for ordinary people, the drug effect is still too strong. Little girl, you have been off the medicine for more than ten days, and you have only recovered from your mind now."

Sure enough...isn't it a lie? I've been captured for a long time and I've been on the territory of the vampire?

"Do you want to drink water?" The new guard handed in the water bag. "But I'm hungry for the time being, I have to wait for a while to eat."

The little girl drank water and realized that the guard was amazingly kind, which seemed to be too different from the "evil minions" mentioned in the books.

"It's obviously such a beautiful person, why do you become a vampire's minion?" She asked Lalia beside her softly.

"Of course it's because the world is full of unfairness." Unexpectedly, the guard heard her voice. She looked at the little girl with a joking smile on her face. "There is no justice in this world. If you want justice, you can only be exchanged for it at a price. So I accepted the contract with the Duke and sold my soul to him for the opportunity to uphold justice. The same is true for the person beside you," she pointed to Lalia. "It's just that she received the goods but refused to pay."

The little girl looked at Lalia, and her face had turned pale.

"Actually, I don't know if the soul is worth it," the guard continued. "But I know that when a person dies, the soul will be gone. And my life is not worth a few Jin'oly. Only the Duke is willing to buy everything I have."

"Can you escape?" The little girl wrote on Lalia's leg with her hands. Lalia's body blocked her view, so the guard could not see the little girl's hand movements. "I feel that the carriage is not fast."

"No." Lalia shook her head. "There are too many of them... I can't escape. The cage is very... " She knocked on the thick iron fence on the edge with her hand, indicating that this thing cannot be opened by human power. She can't do it either.

"This afternoon, we will be able to return to the Dark Castle." The guard suddenly looked at Lalia. "Have you ever thought that he would come back here one day?"

"If possible, I don't want to come back at all." Lalia replied. "But I will still thank you, Wind Chime."

"You are not lucky." After a few seconds of silence, the guard, known as the Wind Chime, replied. After a short period of silence, perhaps feeling that this was meaningless, she also left the carriage.

"Can we leave a secret code?" the little girl asked suddenly. In the current Eagle Falcon City, she should have noticed that she is missing. She should also send someone to search and search.

"It's too late," replied Lalia. "They didn't lie. It's already Sivania, the territory of vampires. No matter what we want to do, it's too late."

"Do you want to die?" The little girl was anxious. "You said that the vampire would not let us go!"

There was a sound of talking outside, and it was probably the wind chime talking to others. Although it was not real because of the obstruction of the carriage, it was possible that others were questioning that the wind chime should not leave the guard position, and the wind chime responded with the answer "It has arrived in Sivania, and they cannot run away." Perhaps this reply is sufficient reason, at least no one comes in again.

Lalia didn't speak, her expression showed that she had given up.

No, I can't die here. He hasn't come back yet... the little girl thought, but in a hurry, she couldn't think of any way to boost Lalia's fighting spirit. Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt that she had lost her balance. The whole world suddenly fell. Then there was a dull sound.

A few seconds later, the little girl rubbed her forehead that had knocked out a big bag and struggled to get up. She quickly realized that the carriage had capsized.

What happened? The reinforcements came? I was saved? The joy in the little girl's heart just emerged, and the door of the carriage was opened. A guard leaned in. "Come out, the carriage was broken."

The little girl's heart suddenly became cold. If there were rescuers, the other party would definitely not have such a relaxed attitude, let alone letting them out on their own initiative.

The fence of the cage was opened and the two prisoners were released. Lalia was wearing steel shackles on her feet, but the little girl was not covered with any troublesome things.

From the outside, it can be seen that the wheels of the carriage were broken and fell off. This was not because the enemy destroyed it, but because the prison carriage itself was too bulky.

The vampire's minions—that is, these girls who are similar to Lariya—a total of eleven. They gathered together to discuss what to do. In the end, the opinion of "waiting for support in place" was overturned. Since the carriage was broken, they chose to take the prisoners back on foot. According to the content of their conversation, it can be seen that this place is actually very close to the Vampire's Dark Castle. You can arrive in the afternoon by carriage, and the walking is a little delayed at most - arriving at dusk. Considering that the little girl may not be able to walk fast, they were divided into two groups. One group of ten people was responsible for escorting Lariya back, and the other group was responsible for catching the little girl back. As for the carriage and horse, they were temporarily thrown on the side of the road because they had no saddles, and someone was sent to clean up another day.

So soon, Lalia was captured by them and stayed to escort the little girl, the girl named Fengling.
