The castle in the dark night is eerie and quiet, but soon, the sun will rise a ray of light from the horizon, and the carnival of the vampires will continue until that time, welcoming their new members to join. And Wen Ying will also disappear completely in this world with the appearance of the sun.
She was taken to the courtyard by the law enforcement team and tied to a silver cross. She was suspended in the air in an instant, her hands and feet were tightly strangled, and she could almost feel the stagnation of blood.
The door of the main hall was open, and people could see her miserable state as long as they turned their heads. The reason why the punishment was carried out at the moment was that the elders' house was to deter vampires who were scattered all over the world and doing their own way—when they were rarely able to gather together.
The vampires whispered.
"I felt something was wrong at that banquet. Everyone knows how difficult it is to get close to the two of the Setet family. It is an honor for you to see you, let alone chatting on weekdays. But that day was simply unbelievable. A vampire smiles at a human girl, behaves considerately towards her, and doesn't mind being slapped in the face by her in public... ”
"But the death penalty... We have few people of the same kind, so I still feel—"
"That's Setet!" the man whispered, "It is said that vampires can't kill their own kind, it's just because our number has dropped sharply once, to the point of almost exterminating our family, in order for our family to survive, there will be Such a rule. But do you really think that such a thing has never happened? High-level vampires really killed a vampire whose bloodline was not pure enough, and the elders would just let it go. The party's struggle is on the neutral side, but as long as their personal interests are endangered, the methods behind the scenes are more terrifying than the devil's party. This former human dared to use the love potion on the two brothers. There is no other reason, only this, It is enough for the Elderly House to make a judgment."
Dirty deals are not limited to humans, vampires who have lived for tens of thousands of years are even more inevitable.
And Wen Ying's execution is like a signal.
For nearly a thousand years, the secret party has overwhelmed the demon party, and the vampires will follow the arrangement of the elders' house and learn to integrate into human society. As a result, the demon party began to move around, their number in the elders' house increased sharply, and the secret party members were in danger.
The methods of the members of the Devil Party are vicious and vicious, so naturally they don't care about the so-called "killing companions". If Wen Ying dies, then the rules adhered to by the members of the Secret Party will no longer exist, and the Devil Party will have an advantage in the fight against the forces in the Elder's House .
It was precisely because Alicia's proposal was in line with the interests and needs of the members of the Demon Party that her proposal was passed.
And it wasn't until this time that some vampires discovered that most of the people present at the banquet were members of the Demon Party and some neutral factions, and there were hardly any members of the Secret Party. Some keen people have already smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke, and their nerves become tense.
Alicia was satisfied with everything in front of her. She wanted to say something more, but Osmond beside her suddenly reminded her, "Alicia, the ceremony should begin."
"Oh, yes." Alicia smiled sweetly at him, "I'm so happy that you can entrust me with such a heavy responsibility."
"Since you like it, and you also have the ability." Osmond chuckled.
Her smile became even sweeter.
The first step in First Embrace is bloodletting. To put it simply, vampires suck human blood, causing them to lose blood to the point of dying. Before their hearts stop beating, let them suck the blood of vampires in turn and slowly transform Become a vampire.
The servants brought up the tools used in the ceremony. In addition to the conventional tools such as cold water, ice cubes, and bloodletting vessels, there was also a dagger. The servant handed her the dagger, motioning for her to separate her wrists.
Alicia felt strange, and asked hesitantly, "Didn't you guys suck the blood?"
Osmond took her hand, kissed the back of her hand, and explained: "We think this is a manifestation of more respect for you and makes the ceremony more solemn. If you draw your blood arbitrarily in front of everyone, you will be in their hearts." decline in status. Although we all know you are very attractive."
"You guys are so thoughtful." Alicia said emotionally, "I don't know how to repay you."
"It is already your kindness that you are willing to enjoy eternal life with us."
Osmond's sweet words reminded Alicia of how Oswald treated Wen Ying.
Love Potions are probably the greatest invention in the world. But at the same time, she was also worried that it might take a lot of work to coax the two of them back when the time limit for the love potion passed.
Alicia looked at Oswald, and Oswald smiled exactly like his younger brother, and when she handed him her hand, he also kissed the back of her hand lightly.
She looked out the door.
The morning sun was just rising, and a ray of the sun was about to fall on Wen Ying's shoulders, which made her expression full of anxiety. The other party's expression undoubtedly made Alicia's mood excited. She showed her how Oswald fell in love with her, just as Oswald once did to him.
This is the meaning of her setting the execution ground in the courtyard. She wants the other party to watch her get a new life at the moment of death!
She cut her wrist with a dagger, and the flowing blood excited the vampires present, but this time, it was to welcome new life. She raised her wrist in a triumphant gesture, "For the newborn!"
People under the steps shouted enthusiastically!
"For the new life!"
"For the new life!"
Oswald and Osmond also raised tall wine glasses together, and said to the people present: "Let us celebrate Alicia's upcoming new life."
The servants handed out the red wine cups to people one by one, which contained the freshest blood, and the alluring fragrance that emanated made the vampires eager to drink it.
"Alicia is the best human woman I have ever seen. Her wisdom and beauty are worthy of the status of a vampire." Lesenbra, one of the members of the Demon Party who has joined the elders' house, congratulated the two brothers, "To have Such descendants, I am sincerely happy for you."
Duke William also said hypocritically: "Yes, fortunately, the love potion has been removed, otherwise it would be really heartbreaking for me to see you being deceived by her."
Oswald smiled and did not reply. Seeing that everyone was drinking together, he opened his arms and announced, "Next, please enjoy the coming blood baptism."
There was a crisp sound of "snap".
Almost immediately, someone's wine glass shattered on the ground, and the low-level vampires seemed to have not sucked blood for a long time, their limbs were frozen like ice, and they could not move at the same place.
The scene became extremely chaotic in an instant.
"Oswald?!"
Lexembla was terrified, "What are you doing?!" He felt a cold feeling spread from his limbs, his legs and feet seemed to be stuck in the stone bricks on the ground, which made his alarm bells ring and he was furious, " Poisoning the blood, you want to betray the vampire for that woman?!"
The reason immediately occurred to him.
"Betrayed the vampire for that woman?" Oswald asked with a smile, "Which woman? Isn't our dear Alicia who loves vampires and is willing to dedicate everything to vampires, including the identity of being a human?"
Lexenbra is at a loss.
Osmond continued: "We just think that there is something unreasonable in the agreement signed with humans. The mass killing of humans will put the race in trouble, so we want to revise the agreement."
"...Tearing up the agreement?! No, no, don't forget, it was the House of Elders who put pressure on King Y's family back then, so that you could save your lives. You also signed a contract for this, and you are willing to dedicate your sincerity to the House of Elders. If you If you dare to tear up the agreement made by the elders in order to strengthen the vampire clan, the House of Elders will use the punishment in the contract... "
"Could it be that the presbytery hasn't touched the contract?" Oswald sneered.
"Of course not." Lexenbra said confidently, "Did something happen to one of you two? You all stand here properly!"
The punishment given by the contract signed by the House of Elders and the two brothers is that if they do not abide by the agreement and disobey the orders of the House of Elders, then the people they care about will be punished. This is the punishment mode set up for them. They may not care about their own lives, but they will definitely care about the other party. Ordinary vampires don't easily have any 'heart tie', but they are twins, they lost their parents, and the only person they care about and rely on is each other.
"After the Devil Party took control of the Elder's House, you used it. It's a pity that it failed." Osmond calmly exposed his lie, "So you think the contract is invalid."
Lexenbra shuddered behind him, and he began to realize something, but before he could have time, the contract he was carrying suddenly emerged from his body and turned into Oswald's hands.
Oswald smiled softly, and tightly grasped the magic kraft paper.
At this time, Alicia's blood loss was close to the critical limit, and her heart, which was beating slowly like a dull pain, made her extremely weak. The sudden change of the situation on the court made her feel uneasy, and she could only look at them expecting help, "Oswald, Osmond—"
The servant came to report: "My lord, Miss Alicia needs blood to complete the first embrace ceremony."
"Then, it's up to you to help her finish it."
The order from Oswald changed the servant's expression from respect to surprise! It is of course their dream to have high-quality descendants.
"No!" Alicia yelled in horror, "What's wrong with you, Oswald, Osmond, don't you love me?!"
The corners of Osmond's red lips twitched slightly, "This is really a disgusting question." Oswald stood aside indifferently, also wearing a lazy smile, without any intention of refuting his brother, that smile was extremely cruel up.
At this moment, the air was distorted in many places, and suddenly several vampires appeared in the hall of the castle. The members of the Devil Party looked at the familiar faces of their old opponents, and felt a chill in their hearts.
"The rest, you take care of it yourself."
"Happy cooperation." The secret party members happily greeted their masters, licked their lips and came to the opponents, eager to try.
When members of the Demon Party wanted to take advantage of this incident to overwhelm the Secret Party, they also sought opportunities to wipe out each other.
The sound of brutal fighting resounded in the hall. According to the rules of the Secret Party, naturally there was no death, but just because there was no death, the bloodshed in the process was even more unimaginable.
"The love potion..." Alicia finally discovered the fact that made her despair, "You didn't get the love potion!"
Osmond denied: "We have."
But contrary to their words, they walked down the steps, and under the screams of the people behind them, they walked into the sunlit courtyard.
The members of the secret party watched their actions with some surprise, and the movements of their hands stopped unconsciously.
At the moment when the thin sunlight hit Wen Ying, she just felt a slightly scorching light on her body, when she was wrapped tightly by the night-like black cloak raised by the vampire.
Even without the sun damage, she still felt exhausted after hanging her body in the air for such a long time with her hands and feet bound.
Osmond half-kneeled on the ground and stretched his neck to her mouth.
Wen Ying bit it without thinking, and the familiar blood slid down her throat without any rejection reaction. It was delicious and delicious, and she hummed happily.
small theater:
Elder's House: Hey, if you don't complete the task, you will die! (chanting a spell to punish Osmond)
Osmond: (nervous) Are you all right, where does it hurt, where does it feel uncomfortable
Oswald: ... okay
Osmond's beloved Wen Ying: (rolling in pain in the distance)
Elder's House: No response? (Change someone, chant a spell to punish Oswald)
Oswald: (nervous) Are you okay, where does it hurt, where does it feel uncomfortable
Osmond: ... I'm fine too
Wen Ying, whom Oswald cared about: (Getting out of pain in the distance) Who will ask me how I feel? ! !
