Charlotte thought she could hold on until half a month later.
But it turned out that she couldn't bear it even after ten days.
In order to prevent herself from falling into a deep sleep, she had to control herself from going to sleep. Not to mention the need to suppress the urge to sleep. Even if she didn't, it was impossible for a person to go without sleep for ten days and a half.
Being able to persist for such a long time is already considered a peculiarity of the vampire's physique.
"Um...Ms. Charlotte, have you been too tired recently? I think you should probably have a good sleep."
In the study room, looking at Charlotte with big swollen dark circles under her eyes, yawning for almost a few seconds, and being so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, the vampire "trainee maid" Agnes said cautiously while holding tea.
Charlotte braced herself and glanced at her, chuckled, and said calmly:
"You don't have to test me."
"I have already said that as long as you do your job well, I will naturally fulfill my promise to you."
Agnes' face stiffened and she laughed dryly:
"How...how is this possible?"
"After knowing your true identity, Agnes has completely given up the idea of confronting you!"
Charlotte glanced at her sideways:
"So, you changed it to secretly investigating my past experiences?"
Agnes' movements froze, and her expression was a little unnatural.
Charlotte sighed, and while rubbing her temples, she handed the signed appointment letter of the new North Port mayor to Agnès:
"Send this appointment letter to the city hall, and... during the next period of time, you and Rahel will work with Sebas."
Agnes, a vampire... although she chose to surrender to her, she still had her own little thoughts. She couldn't keep an eye on her while she was sleeping, which was a hidden danger.
】
Simply, Charlotte thought it would be better to just leave it to Sebastian to manage.
She still has considerable trust in the management abilities of this elf butler who once created the largest underground gang in Boulder.
After listening to Charlotte's order, the vampire girl hesitated.
But looking at Charlotte's unquestionable expression and recalling the terrifying power she felt in the spiritual world, she finally swallowed, nodded obediently, and exited the study.
After sending the two vampires Agnes and Rahel to work next to Sebas, Charlotte finally solved another trouble before falling asleep.
Picking up the cup of milky coffee on the desk that was no longer her first cup today, she raised her neck and drank it in one gulp.
However, after so many days, the refreshing effect of coffee is no longer as good as before.
No matter how much she drank now, it was difficult for Charlotte to concentrate as before.
"The new mayor of North Port has been elected, and the plans and directions for the next few months have been roughly discussed with Sebastian. Even Viscount Remicio has already said hello in advance. If the territory really happens, To rebel, Castel can get foreign aid from the Remicio family..."
"There is no new news from the Ness clan, but... Sebas has been told how to contact Earl Yurst."
"The biggest hidden danger is probably the legendary blood descendant named Maxim. He has lost an incarnation. I don't know if the memory of the incarnation will be shared with the original body..."
"But it shouldn't be a big problem. After all... I directly replaced the Dark Night Castle with the church of the Holy Royal Court. My identity should not be exposed."
"Huh... After all, I have done everything I can, and I have made all the arrangements I can think of. Castell is so big, I can't do everything myself. What's next? It depends on Sebastian.”
"Counting the time, the safety preparations for sleeping that Sebastian mentioned are almost complete."
Thinking of this, Charlotte put down the quill in her hand.
She got up and walked towards the secret room of the Earl's Mansion.
The secret room of the Earl's Mansion is located in the Earl's bedroom. The only people who know it are Charlotte and Sebastian, and at most one Nice.
One of these two is Charlotte's Blood Scroll, and the other is Charlotte's contracted servant. Even if she falls into a deep sleep, she cannot betray her.
When Charlotte entered the bedroom, Sebastian was making some final preparations, and there was even Ness, the black cat who was getting fatter and fatter.
Seeing Charlotte, Sebastian bowed respectfully and said elegantly:
"Great Master, you have come at the right time. I have prepared the sleeping place you need!"
"A place of sleep?"
Charlotte was stunned.
Sebastian nodded and said with a smile:
"Yes! The sleeping place! It is built by the most famous elf craftsman on Luna Island. It is absolutely safe, absolutely luxurious, and perfectly matches your status!"
"Don't worry, I didn't reveal your identity. When customizing, the other party didn't know my origin!"
Build?
custom made?
Charlotte was slightly startled.
She walked into the secret room suspiciously, and then saw a...gorgeous black coffin in the secret room.
Charlotte:…
"Great master!"
Sebastian followed her in and introduced enthusiastically:
"This coffin is called the Eternal Heart. It is made from the core branches of the Tree of Life that has grown for thousands of years on Luna Island. It is inlaid with 6,000 high-quality magic crystal marrow, and is set up in combination with elven magic and ancient arcana. Twelve layers of high-level solidification magic, even if it is a legend in person, it cannot shake it at all..."
"The sculptures and thorn-rose patterns on the surface are painted by the best elf carvers. The pigment is a mixture of dragon blood and dragon bone powder, which has extraordinary magical and psychic effects."
"And inside, I have prepared the best silk velvet from the Far East. The texture is soft and absolutely comfortable. I have also prepared fresh sleeping roses and calming flowers around, which can help you meditate in the deepest way!"
The more Sebas introduced, the more excited he became.
And Charlotte's face turned black.
"So... you have been preparing for so long and you just prepared such a coffin?"
She twitched the corner of her mouth and asked.
"Are you... not satisfied?"
Sebas was stunned and asked.
He hesitated and said cautiously:
"Master, this is the best coffin that the craftsmen of Luna Island can build in a short time. The elves of Luna Island often cooperate with the blood clan of Ness clan, and their skills in this area are quite exquisite... "
Charlotte shook her head, with a strange look on her face:
"No, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask... why is it a coffin?"
This time, it was Sebastian's turn to be confused:
"Ah? You...didn't you ask me to prepare a coffin? Isn't the coffin the place where the vampires sleep?"
Charlotte:…
She glanced at Sebastian speechlessly, but was speechless for a moment.
Feeling the increasingly intense sleepiness, she sighed and said:
"That's it, that's all, the coffin will be a coffin."
Although sleeping in a coffin was still too abstract and advanced for Charlotte, due to time constraints, she had no better choice.
Moreover, although it is a coffin, judging from Sebastian's various introductions, it is really a good sleeping place.
Sebastian is indeed thoughtful. In the secret room, in addition to the coffin in the center, complicated magic circles have been carved around it. Even a half-experienced magician like Charlotte can feel the extraordinaryness in it. , 80% of it is also written by Nice.
She gently stroked the textured surface of the coffin and said to Sebastian:
"Sebas, while I'm sleeping, I'll leave it to you to manage the territory."
"Of course, great master, your loyal Sebastian will protect Castel and wait for your awakening..."
"Meow! And me! And me!"
Beside Sebastian, the black cat Nice also held his head high and spoke proudly.
Charlotte nodded slightly and looked at her two subordinates and servants with satisfaction:
"Then, I'll leave it to you two."
The limit of Sleep's endurance was approaching, and Charlotte no longer persisted.
After saying goodbye to her two followers, she closed the door to the secret room, changed into her nightgown and lay down in the coffin.
But as soon as he lay down, the strong sleepiness could no longer be resisted.
Charlotte just took a few breaths and then fell into a deep sleep...
