The people brought by the Duke of Rhine isolated the servants in the tower outside, so only he and Lucian were left in the room.
That orc guard named Calvin is such a loser, he actually allowed these people to come to his room. Lucian thought aimlessly. The little effort he had put into him before was a waste.
But Lucian had wrongly blamed Calvin. The Duke of Rhine, a member of the royal family, was the fastest fence-sitter to side with Vader when Vader usurped the throne. Not only was his reputation not suppressed, it even surpassed it before. He was extremely proud of himself.
Besides, Duke Rhine had known Vader before he was expelled from the Temple, so they had some old friendship. And what was Lucian? A prisoner, a disgraced slave? Even the reason why he stayed in the palace was unclear. Vader had never expressed his concern for him.
So things turned out like this.
Duke Rhine stared at Lucian, his dim eyes seemed to be extremely excited. He stretched out his hand towards Lucian's face, his palm was sweaty, like a cold and sticky snake.
Lucian turned away.
His cold avoidance obviously aroused the Duke of Rhine's greater interest. The Duke of Rhine laughed distortedly and crazily, and whispered: "Why, you want to avoid me?"
Duke Rhine looked at Lucian, who turned his head away and lowered his eyes without looking at him, rubbed his knuckles, and for some reason, anger welled up in his heart.
In a trance, he seemed to see Lucian in the temple again. The Holy Son in white was high above, looking as holy as an angel. After his legs were broken by the people sent by Lucian, no one believed his accusation. Even his own sister, the queen, patted his hand, telling him that it was just an accident and asked him not to make a fuss.
He dragged his legs out of the palace like a stray dog, and saw Lucian about to enter the palace to read to the queen. He still remembered that when Lucian, who had a gentle and compassionate face, saw him, he deliberately showed him a sarcastic smile.
—This bitch!
Of course, all of this stemmed from his desire for Lucian's beauty, the invitation incident that was triggered by it, and his own fault.
The Duke of Rhine, who had always been a superior person since childhood, obviously did not reflect on himself and had no brains. Otherwise, he would not have come here excitedly today while Weide was away after hearing about Lucian's latest situation.
He looked at Lucian who avoided his hand. Now, he was no longer the Holy Son who could look down upon him... In his rage, he felt a twisted sense of pleasure.
"Did you have enough to eat during the past half month when Wade was away? Huh?" He greeted him with the most obscene words.
Lucian only responded to these words with silence and silently rolled his eyes in his heart.
Although he has lost all his magic power now, he is still not completely without any way to fight against the physical cripple Duke of Rhine - of course, it is limited to one-on-one.
But there is a problem here. Once he starts to fight back with fighting skills, he will reveal the fact that his soul has returned to this body.
He could not let Vader know that his soul had returned.
Lucian suddenly felt a little irritated. To be honest, in order to achieve his goal, Lucian did not shy away from using various means. But here, in order not to expose the fact that his soul had returned to its place, pretending to be weak and being insulted by the Duke of Rhine was a completely unnecessary sacrifice.
Then there is only one way.
A way to disguise everything as an accident and prevent the Duke of Rhine from speaking again.
Although this "accident" might be noticed by Wade... But, who cares. Tomorrow is another new day. After solving the current problem, he can think of other ways.
He moved his finger joints secretly and stared at the Duke of Rhine's neck inconspicuously.
There is an artery there.
The Duke of Rhine obviously interpreted his subtle movements as fear. He smiled grimly and ordered his men to go out and silence the servants in the tower. They could get a high hush money from him and watch him deal with all the details, or they could inform on him and suffer the emperor's wrath or the revenge of the nobles... Such coercion and inducement.
Duke Rhine came prepared. He was also convinced that Vader would not do anything to him for a slave. In his brothel, there were many top-quality goods.
"It seems that you have really become a speechless fool. Originally, I had to work hard to make you understand. Do you dare to let Vader know that you 'betrayed' him?" Duke Rhine smiled meaningfully at him, "It's much easier now. You can't say anything."
He threw his coat and scarf on the ground and walked towards Lucian step by step. Lucian stared at the neck of the Duke of Rhine, who thought he had won, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
When he is most relaxed, his mind is focused on something else, and he has no time to care about him...
Hit the fatal point in his artery.
Then kill him.
But just as the Duke of Rhine attacked, Lucian's nerve endings suddenly captured something keenly - it was a touch that could be called the "sixth sense".
He seemed to sense some kind of aura approaching here.
This is a kind of "premonition" ability he developed after traveling through countless worlds.
The strong breath was getting closer and closer. When the breath entered the corridor, the Duke of Rhine, who was in excitement and unaware of everything, was stunned.
He saw Lucian, who was under his control, suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at him. That smile was so beautiful and moving, but it was like a poisonous flower.
Then, the white-haired succubus bent her long legs and put her knees against his waist. From a distance, it looked like her calves were hanging on his body.
"Thank you for completing my plan." The white-haired succubus suddenly said to him with her lips, her eyes seemed to be filled with red wine, "The effect is now better than I imagined."
At that moment, the Duke of Rhine was stunned by the smile and could only think of one word.
Disaster to the country.
"you… "
Bye-Bye.
He saw the beauty's red lips moving.
He didn't have time to say more because his throat felt light.
So this is what death feels like.
The last thing he saw was the overwhelming red.
Lucian was still lying on his back. His face was sprayed with blood. He blinked, somewhat surprised by what he saw.
"This is much more exciting than I thought..." He muttered to himself, "It's much more exciting than my original plan."
The young man in black was burning with dark flames. He waved his hand expressionlessly, and the body of the Duke of Rhine was thrown to the ground.
There was a heavy, dull sound.
It was unexpected good news that Vader would come back early. It was indeed Lucian's plan to let him see this scene - although there was a slight deviation, the effect might be better than before.
He knew that Vader had shown his killing intent to him many times, but he also vaguely felt that Vader would not kill this soulless body. At the same time, he also sensed that Vader had an almost weird possessiveness towards him.
So this scene happened today.
Lucian's palms were slightly sweaty, but on the surface, he just stared at Wade blankly - with a face that was already stained with blood, wearing a nightgown that was still dripping with blood.
Vader stared at him, too.
There were hurried footsteps in the corridor. The orc guard Calvin finally broke free from the Duke of Rhine's men and hurriedly came here to apologize. A row of people knelt outside the room, all of them with their foreheads pressed to the ground. The few people brought by the Duke of Rhine had already fallen to the ground.
And Wade simply lowered his head and used his fingers to wipe away a drop of blood that had splashed under the corner of Lucian's eye.
"It seems that some people still don't quite understand who is the master of this kingdom now - Lilith." He whispered, "You know what to do with this room and the people who have failed in their duties here."
"yes."
A woman in black armor walked out from the darkness. She was cold and taciturn. She was Vader's subordinate who had been trained in the Undead Tribe and brought back. In the original novel, she later became one of Vader's most capable subordinates.
At this time, Vader also picked up the bloody succubus.
The succubus was lifted into the air and held in his arms. He was shaking slightly, as if he was frightened by what he had experienced. Vader held him in his arms and walked through the corridor filled with despair with an expressionless face.
No one saw the succubus's eyes—the slightly indifferent and lazy look that showed a plan had been completed.
From the moment Wade picked him up, he knew that he had won the bet.
He completed his plan to leave the room, and although the future was unknown, it was indeed a change.
How does it feel to see your belongings being attacked by others? Will it be comfort or something else? But Lucian knew very well that after this incident, he would no longer be the secret prisoner thrown in the tower with no other excuse to contact the outside world except to suck blood.
The long boots stepped on the ground, making a cold and continuous sound. All the servants lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the emperor, nor to speculate on the identity of the white-haired young man who appeared in the palace for the first time (he had been in the tower before). Lucian maintained a frightened expression, but silently memorized Vader's route in his heart.
Where is Vader taking him
Vader led him through gardens, corridors, and spiral staircases... Finally, he stopped in front of a marble room.
There are sculptures of angels and flowers surrounding the white pillars on both sides.
The door was opened by the maids, and the fragrance and steam from the room came towards Lucian. He saw the large, steaming bathtub and the edge of the bathtub that was carved like white jade.
After seeing the huge and ornate carvings on the wall, he knew where this was.
Here is... the Emperor's bath.
The next moment, the feeling of choking on water came over me!
Vader threw him directly and roughly into the water.
