Chapter 27 Secret

"In other words... what picture did she see...so I judged that I was the wife of the Blood Duke? Even if it was not in front of me, it would be the future?" Xingjian asked anxiously.

"That's all I can think about."

"It means..." Xingjian's face turned red in an instant. It was easy for people with some reasoning ability to think about what kind of picture Leya saw, so she was so sure.

"This is just a possibility, and there is another possibility..." The little girl also blushed, but she still looked around and continued to say it after confirming that no one was there. "Everything is just a lie."

"Lie?" Xingjian raised his head in surprise. "Lie?"

"Yes, I'm lying to you. In order to allow the Blood Duke to... pretend to be Lord Asu Ruffat and sneak into Groone. If he was Lord Asu Ruffat, he might have done something irreversible."

"you mean……"

"The Duke of Blood is very similar to Lord Asu Ruffat," Lalia said meaningfully. "This means... they can pretend to be each other."

This is a reasonable analysis, which suddenly explains the inexplicable things that happened today.

"Then...what should we...do?"

"The Blood Duke should not succeed," the little girl analyzed. "If Lord Ashu Rufate is killed, then... you will not be specially captured into the castle. The Blood Duke's correct approach is to pretend to be Lord Ashu Rufate quietly. You are the best cloak for him to cover up his identity. But since you have been captured into the Dark Castle, that means..."

"They want to use me as bait to make Ashu Rufate take the bait?!" Xingjian said in shock. If you understand this way, everything makes sense. "Prophecy" and "Madam Xingjian" are all lies, and the purpose is to "replace" Ashu Rufate without the twins being aware of it.

Obviously, Ashu Rufate accompanied the twins away from Groone and then accompanied them back (even saved Princess Groone by the way) - who could find out that Ashu Rufate had changed someone during this process?

"It can only be understood this way. We must give Lord Asu Ruffat the warning." Lalia said.

"What are you talking about?"

A sound suddenly sounded, scaring the little girl so much that she jumped up and her heart almost hid in her stomach to take refuge. She had been paying attention to the surroundings (especially at the entrance of the reception room), but she didn't notice that anyone had crawled in at all.

Then she realized that it was not human beings who spoke—or rather, human beings who spoke.

The person who spoke was a very strange creature - this creature has limbs like a human, but now it is squatting on the ground like a four-legged animal. It is very small, about the same as an eight-nine-year-old human child. Part of the body is covered with fur, part of it is exposed, with a pair of furry ears on its head and a tail exposed behind it, and it looks half-human and half-cat.

Ordinary people probably don’t know what this is, but the little girl has received the queen’s education. Even though she doesn’t see too many strange things in her daily life, she has gained a lot of knowledge in her books. She recognizes what this is.

"Half-beast?"

Yes, this is a half beast, or the "Sem tribe", a rare race of wisdom. According to the book, this creature is now rare and only a few areas have life. They were once glorious, but now they have lost their former civilization and live a primitive tribal life.

However, although half beasts are primitive and backward, their wisdom is not low. They can learn various languages ​​and communicate with humans normally. In addition, they also have various incredible racial innate abilities, such as color change, hiding, climbing, night vision, etc. According to the book, they are the best scouts, thieves, spies and spies in the world. What's even better is that half beasts do not know how to use currency. They do not understand the value of gold, silver and coins, and only know how to use primitive bartering. So you can exchange a little simple food for their services.

It is said that there is such a smart (and lucky) thief who made money with one move.

The half beast was curiously looking at a group of conspirators, looking at them panic. One of her ears was white and the other was yellow. The two ears with different fur colors stood upwards with vitality, and it was obvious that they had heard all the conversation just now.

"Are you fake?" asked half beast curiously. "Hehe, I heard it all."

Lalia rushed towards Half of the Beast, but Half of the Beast's agility and speed were far beyond her expectations. In just a moment, she jumped out of the room.

Lariya chased after her and then found that Half Beast could actually run with all legs. The four-legged animal was much faster than the human walking on both legs, and this time was no exception. Not to mention that Half Beast's body size could pass through many obstacles that Lariya could not pass through.

A chase was futile. Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Lalia had to stop.

"Hehe, you can't catch up with Little Band." Lalia stopped, and half of the beast stopped, and from afar, he announced to Lalia proudly. "Little Bandian wants to tell Mrs. Leya!"

"Wait, little." A figure came out next to him, and it was Leya. "What happened?"

"Little one has made meritorious service!" Half the beast jumped to Leya, "They are fake."

“What fake?”

"They are not ladies, they are..." Half of the beast scratched his ears with his forelimbs, and seemed unable to think of how to express this meaning. "Pretty... they are not the Duke's wife."

Lalia suddenly realized that she had chased her too far. This was the third floor of the castle - the living place of the Blood Duke. She was not familiar with this place, at least not very familiar with it. She knew that Leya did not have the power to fight, but when Leya looked at her head, she couldn't help but take a step back.

This...is a dark castle, an extraordinary place created by the Blood Duke with his own magic. As the hostess, Leya has all kinds of powers that others cannot imagine. On the contrary, although Lalia has the power given by a vampire, her soul is always controlled and influenced by vampires and vampire agents.

"No, they just made a mistake." Leya said gently. She shouted to the side, "Wind Chime!"

The next moment, the wind chime came out from a hidden corner next to it.

"Fengling, although it was a private meeting between Mrs. Xingjian, you shouldn't have left that far." Leya said with some dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, madam." Fengling bent down to apologize. "I will remind them."

The consequences of this "reminder" naturally ended this meeting. Fengling brought two nominal guests, who were actually under house arrest, to the first floor. There are some empty rooms here, which are occasionally used to entertain ordinary guests.

"Oh no!" Fengling walked forward, while Lalia held the little girl's hand and wrote on her hand. "I forgot something. According to legend, the Blood Duke could hear all the sounds in the dark castle."

"What!" the little girl almost screamed in surprise, but fortunately she covered her mouth at the last moment.

"Have we heard what we had before?" the little girl also wrote in Lalia's hand.

“The possibility is very high!”

"If they had already realized that we knew the truth... what would happen? They could not let us leave." The little girl wrote a little frightened.

"Silence." Lalia replied.

"Can you escape?"

"I'm afraid it's impossible, unless we can get help from others."

“Where are we going now?”

"It could be an ordinary room..." Lalia wrote. "If they have not decided what to do with this sudden accident, it may be a execution ground - if they have decided what to do with us."

Endless fear surged into my heart, and the little girl almost couldn't walk. Fortunately, Lalia supported her. The two of them walked all the way to the door of an empty room.

Thanks to the gods, this is a normal room—with two beds, tables, chairs and other daily necessities, rather than guillotines, executioners, steel knives, nooses and other tools of death.

"Then, you two are here for the time being, I'll leave first." Feng Ling turned around and said goodbye.

"Wait, wind chime!" The little girl stopped the other party, "Can you... accompany us?" She was a little surprised when she said this.

Feng Chin did not refuse. The three of them walked into the room, Feng Chin sat on the chair, the little girl sat on the edge of the bed, and Lalia sat on another bed.

"I want to know..." the little girl said hesitantly. "What does the sentence you said to me before mean?"

"It's just literal." Fengling answered without caring.

"You mean... the Blood Duke doesn't suck human blood? But he is... a vampire!"

"Haha, I'm just telling a fact." Fengling still had that attitude. "Haha, maybe I can reveal a secret. In the past ten years... all the girls who entered the Dark Castle... have left safely. They have lived here for a few years, studying, working, receiving education, and being well cared for. This is the truth about Dark Castle."

"This is impossible!" the little girl and Lalia shouted in unison.

"But it's the truth." Fengling replied. "The Duke changes the girls' residences from time to time, changes their neighbors and roommates, and strives to create the illusion that 'familiar people will suddenly disappear'. But in fact... no girl is hurt here!"

Another update is as good as you want... Alas, I unexpectedly discovered today that the situation was worse than expected.

The series of things at home are not human resources, but are actually days.

Well, some people like Mimilu, so let everyone know the ending of Mimilu.
Chapter completed!
