Tome of Blood Chapter 124

Chapter 124-123-I found them

The Duke of Bold and the Earl of Broyle left after a few words.

He left the manor and disappeared at the end of the dream.

Looking at the direction the Duke was leaving, Sebas could not help but say:

"I didn't expect the Duke of Boulder to be behind the Balrog Calamity... It seems that, as rumored, he has never given up looking for solutions to fertility problems over the years."

"Devil's contract... He really dares to think about it! Although the vampires have always abided by the contract, the price of the contract is not something ordinary people can afford, especially Abaddon, the blood demon who is both a demon and a vampire!"

Charlotte frowned slightly:

"Solve the fertility problem... But hasn't he paved the way for Leno to inherit the territory since ten years ago?"

Sebas thought for a while and said:

"It should be prepared with both hands, master, you don't know, human nobles attach great importance to blood, and they are not weaker than blood races in this regard."

"I think, maybe this kind of concept is also influenced by the blood race. After all, before the Millennium Jihad, the nobles of the New Moon Kingdom and the blood race were almost equal. Even if it is changed, some concepts will always be passed down."

"After all, Leno is an illegitimate child. Compared with an illegitimate child, the Duke definitely hopes to have a legitimate son as his heir."

"However, people's ideas will change. I remember that His Excellency Leno has only gradually emerged in Boulder in the past seven years. As his potential is gradually revealed, the Duke's expectations of him are also increasing..."

"The Duke of Bold's health is getting worse and worse. This is not a secret in the Principality. Even if the fertility is restored and there is a new heir, it must not be able to support the heir to adulthood."

"Now he... I'm afraid he has completely given up the idea of having children."

"In recent years, the Duke of Boulder has been cracking down on the Gorefiend Order, presumably in order to completely bury his own history and pave the way for Leno."

Charlotte curled her lips unobtrusively, but her heart was full of contempt for the Duke of Bold.

Thoroughly buried?

His history...at the expense of thousands of innocent girls.

Ten years have passed, who remembers those innocent girls?

Faintly, the scene in the dungeon slowly coincided with the scenes she saw in her memory.

And this overlapping of memories gradually awakened certain memories sleeping deep in the body she traveled through...

In a trance, she seemed to recall some experiences on the night of the Balrog ten years ago.

She seemed to think of the beautiful grove, and the giggling and running petite figures in the grove...

In an instant, the door of memory suddenly opened—

Oh!

correct!

That night, the original body was supposed to be playing hide-and-seek with Sister Broy in the garden...

When it was time for the original body to hide, Sister Broyel was nowhere to be seen for a long time.

And when the original body came out of the woods with his head poking around... what he saw was the burning sky and the waking Balrog.

"Master, Miss Lottie should not be here, maybe she is still enjoying the birthday party somewhere."

"However, this is indeed the starting point of the Balrog disaster. As a sacrifice, Countess Broyle will definitely appear. Shall we wait here?"

Sebas looked around and asked respectfully.

“Where else are you enjoying a birthday party?”

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

"It's not impossible."

"Master, as far as I know, demons use dreams to lure mortals to fall. There are often two ways, one is nightmare-like intimidation, and the other is dream-like deception..."

"The starting point of this dream is the birthday dinner, where the cups are mixed and full of beauty, obviously the latter."

"If I'm not wrong, Miss Lottie must be enjoying somewhere in the dream..."

"However, as the end of the fall, she will definitely be brought here by Vala Roka, because the ceremony is the end of this dream."

"Master, I think we can wait here and wait for them to come."

Sebastian expressed his judgment.

However, after listening to his words, Charlotte fell into deep thought.

"Enjoy somewhere..."

She was talking to herself, her heart moved slightly.

Looking back from the depths of the dungeon, Charlotte shook her head:

"No, don't wait. I can probably guess where Lottie is."

"Come on, let's meet her."

After speaking, she no longer hesitated, turned and left the dungeon.

Charlotte and Sebastian returned to the ground, and the faint laughter and music in the hall of the manor seemed even more exciting.

Sebas's heart moved, and he said:

"Master, the banquet has reached its climax. As the protagonists, the Broy sisters may already be at the banquet."

However, Charlotte shook her head:

"No, they won't be there. If this dream is the dream of the Balrog Valaroka trying to lure Lottie to fall, they won't appear at the dinner party."

"When I was in the mission hospital, Lottie and I had a lot of exchanges. She is a quiet person, but she doesn't like excitement."

"Her fondest memory...was not in the dinner hall."

After speaking, Charlotte did not return to the hall, but turned around and walked deeper into the manor.

Sebas was quite curious about the girl's actions.

But out of his unconditional trust in the great Lady of the Night, he didn't ask too much, but followed closely behind.

The brightly lit hall gradually receded, and the hustle and bustle also subsided.

Led by Charlotte, the two came to the back of Broglie Manor, in front of a beautiful and dreamy grove.

It really is a dreamy grove.

The watery moonlight slanted down and projected in the woods. The brilliance penetrated the rustling branches and leaves, leaving spots of color on the ground.

Countless flying photons danced in the woods like elemental elves.

Those are fireflies, countless fireflies.

They are flying freely in the woods, shining with beautiful light, following the cool and comfortable night wind, like a ribbon of brilliance.

In the night wind, silver bell-like laughter could be faintly heard, coming from the woods.

Hearing that crisp laughter, Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly:

"Found them."

Taking a deep breath, she took a step and pushed aside the bushes that blocked her view.

In the woods, on an open grass field, three beautiful and lovely girls were playing happily.

Among them, the two older ones looked twelve or thirteen years old. They both had beautiful brown hair and a lovely white dress.

As for the younger one, it is only four or five years old, with delicate features like a doll with blond hair and blue eyes.

The three of them should be playing hide-and-seek. One of the older girls is counting numbers facing a big tree, while the other two girls are creeping towards the bushes.

As soon as the two looked up, they saw Charlotte and Sebastian entering the bushes, and they were all taken aback.

"Someone is coming! Let's run!"

The little girl giggled, then pulled the girl who was several years older than herself and ran into the depths of the woods.

Seeing the figures of the two disappearing into the woods, Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly.

And Sebastian was curious:

"Master...that was in the past just now...you?"

"No, the past me can't see me."

Charlotte shook her head:

"That's...it."

Engagement ended successfully! There is another update tonight!

The editor told me that it will be recommended on 10.6. He suggested that I should not be in a hurry to make an update in the past few days. It will be more beneficial for the follow-up recommendation after the manuscript is uploaded, so I will make two updates for the time being.
