Elena thought about it and felt that her father's plan was perfect.
If the ceremony starts immediately after canceling the invitation of the Blood Calamity Flower, then the guest will be caught off guard and has to fulfill the contract and become his hundredth guest.
"But isn't my coming-of-age ceremony scheduled to start at twelve o'clock noon? Is there no problem if I advance the time without notifying the guests?" Elena worried.
"Your coming-of-age ceremony cannot be held after twelve o'clock at noon. After twelve o'clock it is dusk. That is very untraditional and against etiquette. But when it should be held before then, it all depends on Alucard. Shake the bell pole on the podium and ring the bell at the top of the castle."
Dracula patiently explained: "As soon as the big bell rings, your ceremony will begin. The number of guests is fixed and cannot be changed. By then, all the guests will be here!"
"But it is worth mentioning that I am also one of your guests. Once the bell rings, I can only be your guest until the end of your ceremony. I will not be able to do anything. And Alucard is here After the bell rings, the ceremonial speech will begin. Before he finishes his speech, you must rush to the podium! Do you understand?" Dracula warned.
"I understand. But why does Alucard have to be the one to ring the bell and deliver the ceremony speech?" Elena didn't understand.
"Because every step of the ceremony must be completed by your closest relatives. Only in this way is it in line with etiquette and a complete coming-of-age ceremony, which can unlock the most powerful vampire power for you!"
Dracula explained: "And I will be your guest. Obviously only Alucard can accomplish all this."
"If you had invited Alucard to be your guest before, then after he rings the bell, Margaret can only be the one to deliver the speech at the ceremony."
"With such a ceremony, I can't guarantee that you will gain full vampire power."
Elena was a little lucky to hear this, but fortunately Alucard always refused his invitation.
If it had been Margaret, her ceremony would have been ruined.
etc……
Isn't it possible that Alucard doesn't know this?
Could it be that Alucard always refused to be a guest because subconsciously he always wished his sister well?
Is he the tough-talking, soft-hearted little brother?
Elena nodded and said: "Okay father, then I will ask Alucard to prepare now."
"Wait a moment, Elena."
"What's wrong, father?" Elena stopped her anxious pace and turned around.
Then, she discovered that one of Dracula's big hands grabbed her other arm and tore the entire arm off with his teeth!
Blood sprayed freely on his shoulders, and his weak and sweaty appearance was reflected in Irene's blood-stained eyes, which frightened her!
"Father!!"
Elena endured the panic and stepped forward quickly: "What are you doing?!"
Dracula pushed an arm directly into Elena's arms, enduring the severe pain and said: "It will cost a bigger price to let the Blood Calamity Flower give up the contract, but my king-level arm ,enough."
"Father!" Elena's bloody eyes rolled, and she shed tears.
"There's nothing to worry about, Elena." Dracula stood up straight and said proudly, "I am an immortal king, and my body is endless! Even if I lose the strength of one arm, it is still powerful. It’s enough to protect every living creature in the castle!!”
Elena's face couldn't help but twist, and tears filled her cheeks.
"Go, Elena! I'm sorry that you were born with only one arm, so now you can only hold it with one hand..."
Elena was suddenly shocked. She gradually lowered her head and found that her entire right arm had disappeared...
"Quick! Elena! Before He finds you!" Dracula urged weakly.
Elena nodded vigorously, then hugged Dracula's limbs with her left hand, letting the blood stain her body and face, and ran desperately in the direction of the Blood Disaster Flower!
"Alucard!!"
"Alucard——"
Elena screamed in confusion.
Zheng——
A slender sword suddenly stood in front of Elena.
"You look abnormal, Princess Elena!" The bald butler blocked her way with cold eyes.
"Nosferatu! Get out of the way! My daughter has not been truly found by Him yet!!" Dracula dragged his weak body into the auditorium and shouted loudly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The bald butler put away his sword, and then took a step back to the side in a gentlemanly manner.
"What exactly is going on?"
Alucard heard the sound and rushed over, seeing Elena covered in blood and holding her stump, with a sick look on her face. Seeing Dracula missing an arm and almost in chaos, his eyes widened.
"Alucard! Come here!" Dracula said hurriedly, "Come to the bell pole! When you hear my call, you will immediately ring the castle bell and start the ceremony according to the rules!"
Alucard frowned: "Okay, father, I don't know why, but I will do it."
Elena looked at the anxious Dracula and burst into tears again, but at this moment, the bleeding arm in her arms almost fell off.
She lowered her head again and saw that her left hand had also disappeared, leaving only a left arm without a palm.
"My hand..." Elena felt like she was about to go crazy.
"What are you talking about Elena, you have never done anything!"
Dracula is even more confused and terrified!
"Let's go! Elena! We must use the fastest speed! You are getting more and more abnormal, and He will find you at any time!"
With that said, Dracula quickly stepped forward, pulled Elena and flew towards the large Gothic semi-elliptical window.
thump!
Elena finally fell to the ground because she found that one of her feet also disappeared strangely at this moment. But she finally came to the Blood Disaster Flower with Dracula at this moment.
The Blood Calamity Flower suddenly turned its "head", opened its dense eyes and said, "I'm glad that we met Your Highness the Princess again. You look even more delicious now. Oh, the King is here too, so, pretend that I haven't explain."
"Blood disaster flower, I...want to end my invitation to you!" Elena gasped.
"That's not possible!" Blood Disaster Flower shook her head and said, "I am very lawful, and I must do what I promised. Unless..."
The Blood Calamity Flower suddenly stared at the arms in Elena's arms, and let out a "giggle" teeth-grinding laugh.
"It seems that you are ready, my beautiful princess. Yes, your king's arm is very tempting. It is enough to allow you to establish a stronger contract with me, strong enough to destroy our previous contract."
All the eyes of the Blood Calamity Flower were filled with greed: "Hurry! Give it to me quickly! I can't wait any longer!"
It opened its mouth and urged: "Let me eat that arm, and the contract between you and me will be void!"
"Feed it quickly, Elena! You must complete the contract yourself!" Dracula said hurriedly.
Elena stood up hard, used the remaining half of her left arm to pick up the bloody stump, tried to maintain balance, and limped towards the Blood Plague Flower...
"Here you go...here you go!!"
She yelled crazily, and finally threw her blood-stained arm in front of the Blood Disaster Flower! But because she exerted too much force on her body, she also fell to the ground in embarrassment.
The Blood Disaster Flower chuckled, lowered its head and swallowed the arm in one gulp.
Elena could feel the saliva mixed with blood, constantly falling on her head, neck, and body from the crack in the blood plague flower above her head. However, she was lying on the ground at this moment, all she could do was tremble and cry...
Gradually, she couldn't help but clenched her fists with hatred and ferocity!
now!
"Alucard! Ring the bell! Start the ceremony!"
Dracula's roar immediately spread to every corner of the castle.
then--
——Boom! !
The rich bells echoed in the castle...
