Section 20 Consequences
The sky gradually brightens.
The light in the castle that "does not know where" has disappeared without realizing it, replaced by the sunlight cast from the high skylight. The light from one of the windows just hit the little girl and illuminated her face.
The little girl rubbed her eyes and slowly got up. Then she realized that she was asleep - in fact, she didn't plan to sleep, and wanted to stay up late and wait for Ash Rufat to come back. But she really didn't have the ability to stay up late, and she didn't even know when the Sandman climbed onto her body.
Wait... It's dawn... Ashu Rufate failed? The little girl suddenly shuddered. She looked at Lalia next to her in fear, who was sitting there, as if closing her eyes to rest.
"Lalia!" The little girl slapped the metal iron railing hard. "What happened last night?"
"Lord Ashu Ruffat hasn't come back." Lalia replied. This is actually a nonsense. If Ashu Ruffat comes, the little girl would not have been able to sleep until dawn before she woke up.
"He..." The little girl's face turned pale in an instant. Ashu Rufat didn't come back, that means...
"But he should be fine." Lalia said. "Because I didn't feel any warning. I guess," she smiled reluctantly to comfort the little princess around her. "He should have finally got what he wanted when it was near dawn. So there was no time to save us...I can only wait tonight."
Ash Rufate did say that vampires would leave for two days... However, delaying more time undoubtedly means adding more variables. Who knows if vampires will come back in advance?
"Can it be..." the little girl thought, maybe because she had been waiting all night without results, her thoughts were a little pessimistic. "Is there any other possibility?"
"If Lord Ashu Rufate is arrested," said Lalia. "It will definitely be sent here. On the contrary, if it is exposed and forced to escape, it will definitely cause a large-scale warning, at least a comprehensive search will be carried out to prevent the fish that escaped. But neither of these happened, so he must have succeeded, but he has no time to save us. In addition, people like him will not give up halfway! Now we can only gamble," Lalia looked at the skylight at the high level and the small blue sky outside the skylight. "Betting that we are lucky enough that the vampire will not come back today."
...
Ashu Rufate sat on a stone on the corner of the street, looking at the key in his hand woodenly.
There were people coming and going on the streets, but at most people looked at him curiously - and then continued to walk. No one would care about a frustrated loser on the side of the road. In this city called "New City", although countless wealth flows every day, many losers will also occur every day. There are people who give up on themselves and try to encourage the authors. It is not rare for people who sit on the street like this to be stupid.
Now...thing is going on...
Ashu Rufate grabbed a weed on the side of the road and bit the stem of the grass in his mouth. This was a habit he learned when he was in Chaos, and the bitter taste spread from his mouth to his heart.
The words cannot describe the regret in his heart at this moment. He actually sneaked into the dark castle and slept with the Blood Duke's wife!
Looking back now, I still feel incredible. He always feels that he is the kind of person with great self-control. Faced with all kinds of crises in the chaotic territory, he can always control everything rationally, find tiny opportunities for victory and finally leave successfully (if that is also called success). But this time, he actually lost control.
Maybe it was the effect of incense with aphrodisiac effect, but Ash Rufate was more willing to believe it was his own problem. How did the matter happen? By the way, walking on the soft carpet and looking at the magnificent room... there was a familiar and safe feeling. It was that feeling that confused him and made him relax himself unknowingly. At that moment, he even forgot that he was an invader who was deeply in the enemy's territory and could be in danger of life at any time.
And that woman... the vampire's wife, she seems to be called Leya. Her flexible and flexible limbs, no matter how many times they hug them, she will not feel bored. When they are completely integrated, she accepts his love wholeheartedly, responds to his love, and presents herself naked from her body to her heart to her.
That woman named Leya must have misunderstood herself as the Blood Duke! But Ashu Rufate himself knew that he was not the Blood Duke at all, at most he was just a substitute for the Blood Duke (as mentioned earlier, this was derived by him using logic).
Although he easily brought the key out in the morning (the key is on the head of the vampire's bed and is easily discovered), he has completely made a big mistake.
There is no possibility of easing the relationship between him and the Blood Duke, and both sides are now dying. Everyone says that although the Blood Duke is a vampire, he has a noble character on the surface. Although he doesn't know what the vampire will do after knowing this, even the human aristocrats will never be able to spare those who make themselves cuckolded. According to the common rules of the human world, once such things are exposed, even if there is no reliable evidence, it will mean a life-and-death duel. If a husband catches the adulterer and the mistress in the room, he can only hope that he has no weapons around him. Otherwise, he will definitely kill his love rival on the spot.
Although this is an accident from Ashu Rufate's standpoint, he did not intend to do so. But he was sure that the vampire would never accept his explanation. Not only that, if the vampire knew the truth, he would be able to quickly infer everything - and then he would kill Ashu Rufate at all costs.
Yes, it's all at all costs. This is not an outrageous thing for a jealous man.
The vampire has not come back yet. If he wants to escape, it is the best time. But Ashu Rufat knows that he cannot escape. If he runs away, then the little princess and Lalia will probably become a victim of the vampire's anger.
He doesn't even dare to go back to see the twins now. Fur said that he would contact the Duke of Blood today about treatment. Ashu Rufate can only hope that before Star Memorial recovery (according to Fur, the shortest time for this healing is several hours, and the maximum is two days), the vampire did not notice his relationship with the twins.
Damn it, how did things turn out like this?!
In Ashu Rufate's original plan, his actions to rescue the little girl and Lalia would cause a vampire reaction, but this reaction would not be excessive. Because the Blood Duke seems to be a person with good face, after his prisoner is rescued from the Dark Castle, he should secretly search for fugitives without saying anything. This also gives Ashu Rufate a chance. Although the Blood Duke is very powerful, he expects that he will be 70% sure to successfully escape from the Blood Duke's sphere of influence.
But now it's different. Who knows what the angry Blood Duke will do?
"Hey, don't block the way!" A voice sounded. The man who spoke was a man with a fleshy face, wearing simple leather armor, and a scimitar belt. He looked at the ordinary dress in front of him with a normal dress (after leaving the Dark Castle, Ash Rufate changed the thief suit as soon as possible), and a stranger with a scar on his face, pointed at the large convoy behind him with his hands. This was the common type of dual-purpose vehicle for people and goods. In addition to being full of goods, there were also several passengers, including men and women, chatting.
Ashu Rufat stood up a little bit and moved to the side. Now it should be time for Fur to meet the Blood Duke (although it was actually meeting the agent). The twins' affairs... should go smoothly...
Asu Ruffat was actually right. At this moment, Xingke and Xingjian had just finished their dressing at half a city away from him, which is the residence arranged by the largest Ma Shang in Sivania. In fact, they had already spent a lot of time on this matter.
Their clothes are actually very simple, just ordinary travel clothes rather than evening gowns for the dance party. However, in order to cover up the abnormal changes on Xingke's body, what they have to do is not simple. It must be noted that although Xingke is actually able to reveal its true appearance here, they are worried that their appearance will be noticed - people from other places are fine, but if they are Grony, it may cause trouble in the future. Therefore, Xingke must keep disguised until they enter the Dark Castle.
"...It's almost the same, but Mr. Fur hasn't come back yet. He clearly said that he will be back in an hour at most."
"Maybe something unexpected happened..."
The two of them could only guess and wait. But suddenly, Xing Ke showed a look of listening carefully. She quickly grabbed her sister's shoulder.
"Go behind me!" She ordered in an unquestionable tone, and immediately pulled out a long sword from her side. It was the sword she brought back from Chaos Territory - one of the weapons given to her by terror. Because Ash Rufate confirmed that this weapon was just a weapon, she kept it.
The door was opened from outside. The visitor was not Fur, but a strange woman. A woman with a low figure and a strange armor. Half of the armor seemed to be leather, and the other half seemed to be metal. It was a rare close-fitting armor, which was tightly attached to the owner and almost integrated with the body. The helmet covered the visitor's nose and mouth, and only exposed his eyes.
The twins had seen this kind of armor. When they were in Hawk City, the Lariya, who had been hostile to them (and later fought side by side) had this kind of armor. Through the mouth of Ashu Rufate, they already knew the origin of this kind of armor. So with just one glance, Xingke recognized that the man was one of the female guards of the vampire.
And...more than one person!
"Who are you and what are you doing?" Xing Ke asked sternly. She had already held her belt, and with just one pull, she would be a whip.
"Two ladies," the vampire's female guard's eyes stopped on Xingke, "Sorry to disturb you. I'll give you a notice of my master."
"I'm sorry, I don't want to go out now." Xing Ke said.
"Sorry, I'm afraid you don't understand that in Sivania, my master's request cannot be refused." A sharp edge flashed in the female guard's eyes. "And my mission is to bring you two back."
"Get out!" Xingke waved the whip in his hand. She used this weapon to kill countless believers of chaos. After countless actual combat tempering, her strength is no longer as simple as the gentry and noble she used to be.
