The door closed automatically and heavily, and no breath of living people could be felt from it.
Lauryn watched Victor enter and looked at the door that closed automatically, remaining silent without saying a word.
"Count Lauryn, why are you here?"
Suddenly, Aurelion's voice sounded in his ears.
Lauryn turned her head and happened to see Aurelion and August walking over.
Aurelion looked left and right.
But except for Count Lauryn, there was no one else standing at the door.
Teacher, isn't he with Count Lauryn?
So she turned to the count and asked:
"Count Lauryn, where is Teacher Victor?"
Count Lauryn's eyes were immersed in memories, and he slowly explained to Aurelion:
"While we were chatting, Mr. Victor suddenly told me that maybe he had a way to cure my wife's madness."
"He wanted to be able to get into this room and take a look."
Aurelion was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the wooden sign hanging above the door. The warning sign had four big words written on it:
【No Entry】
The scarlet warning was shocking under the moonlight.
Aurelion asked in disbelief:
"Teacher, he... went in?"
Earl Lauryn nodded and continued:
"My wife is crazy, but she is not completely uncontrollable."
"Mr. Victor's ability is much higher than that of an old soldier like me. Princess, you don't have to worry."
Aurelion nodded.
She wasn't worried about Teacher Victor, but the unknown behind that door still frightened her.
It seems a little weird.
At this time, August showed a gentle smile:
"Since Senator Cravenna has something to deal with, why don't we go down together first?"
Count Lauryn hesitated for a moment, and his eyes fell on the closed door again.
Then, he nodded:
"Well, that's fine. If you wait here, you may not be able to wait for any results."
"Your Majesty, Princess Aurelion, please."
He extended his arm in a gentlemanly manner and guided several people to leave together.
When they turned to leave, Vanilla's cat ears suddenly trembled, as if sensing something, she turned back suddenly.
A quiet black figure passed by her eyes quietly.
Although Vanilla was a little uneasy, she did not think deeply, but quickly followed Aurelion's footsteps and left together.
…
In the depressing air, Victor walked step by step deeper into the dark room full of the smell of blood.
As he went deeper, the disgusting smell became stronger.
By the end, the pungent smell became even more pungent, flooding into his lungs.
Victor's brows furrowed, as if the smell made it hard for him to breathe.
Feeling that the position was almost there, a red flame burned out of thin air beside Victor.
The bright firelight slightly illuminated the entire room.
The horrifying scene was revealed in front of him without any cover-up:
Broken arms and limbs were scattered around the room, and bloodstains and claw marks covered the walls.
The servant's scarlet clothes were torn into pieces and scattered around the room, with long-dried blood stains on them.
It looked like he had entered this room by mistake and been brutally murdered.
The surrounding furniture was all broken into pieces, and fragments of wood were embedded in the floor and walls.
There were claw marks one after another on the bloodstained wall. It was unclear whether they were traces of despair left by the servant in his final struggle.
Other than that, the whole room was too quiet.
It is hard to imagine that there is such a dirty and bloody room hidden in this glorious mansion.
However, Victor was unaffected and watched all of this expressionlessly.
Even Vega was so bored that he yawned and then said:
"Sure enough, I just said something wasn't quite right."
"If it's just madness, how can it eat people?"
Suddenly, its voice stopped and it stood stiffly on Victor's shoulder.
But the bird's head twisted backwards at an extremely weird 180 degrees.
A deep and strange dark light emanated from the one eye, firmly locking the twisted and nightmare-like monster in front of him.
The moment he saw it, a voice that sounded like joy sounded faintly from Weijia's body:
"Am I right."
The monster's eyes glowed with a faint red light, and its limbs seemed to have been cruelly twisted, supporting the cold ground in a weird and bent posture.
Its body was turned upside down like a broken soul, and it walked zigzag on the ground like dead leaves blown by the wind.
Only through the flowing white hair can it be vaguely seen that this monster once had a human body.
When it saw Vega's twinkling, malicious one-black eye, its body suddenly stopped as if frozen in time.
The originally deformed limbs began to tremble, as if they were frightened by an existence that was more fearful than itself.
His muscles twitched, as if he had forgotten even his instinct to escape.
"Blood race."
At this time, Victor turned around slowly, staring deeply at the creepy monster with his lowered eyes.
Vega seemed to have an indescribable tacit understanding with him, and his body also slowly turned towards the monster.
Victor's eyes were as cold as ice and he said calmly:
"A mixture of pure blood and other races is called a blood race."
"Vampires need blood to maintain their lives. If they don't get fresh blood for a long time, they will fall into madness. At this time, any life that appears in front of them will be torn apart and devoured."
"In fact, Count Lauryn knows everything and understands everything."
Victor waved his hand gently, and the flames around him flew into the sky like meteors, flickering on the ceiling.
It replaced the magic light bulb that would no longer light up, illuminating the entire room as bright as day.
"So the person who really died was not Count Lauryn's daughter."
The moment the light illuminated, a beam of blazing white light also enveloped the ghost wearing a black dress next to him.
That was the beautiful but pale Prixis.
She placed one hand tightly on her chest, and gently touched her black clothes with the other hand. Her face was as white as snow, with great worry and fear.
Victor looked at her and pointed at the twisted monster whose face was exactly the same as that of Prixis:
"But your human mother."
"Am I right, Priscilla?"
…
In the banquet hall, gorgeous lights brightly illuminated every corner.
The nobles took their seats elegantly one by one, holding wine glasses, and whispered about various topics.
Soon, a trolley carrying a huge and exquisite cake slowly entered the banquet hall, attracting everyone's attention.
This sixteen-layered cake looked like a small tower, which made many nobles and lords look with amazement in their eyes.
They have never heard that someone actually prepared a cake for this diplomatic banquet?
Who is this cake prepared for?
But no one could guess the answer.
While everyone was talking, Aurelion and his party walked slowly from the splendid corridor, attracting the attention of countless nobles.
August walked side by side with Aurelion, and Lord Lauryn followed.
When the two came near the cake, August raised his voice and said:
"You may be wondering who this big cake is for."
Everyone was indeed curious, and the nobles started talking one after another, followed by a rustling commotion.
Only the twelve foreign ministers from the empire smiled and showed no doubts.
Because of this, they told Earl Lauryn to prepare.
At this time, August continued with a smile:
"The reason why the banquet is held today is not only to establish friendly relations with the empire."
"It's also to celebrate our Princess Aurelion who came from the Empire."
"Her sixteenth birthday."
When the nobles present heard this, they immediately understood.
No wonder this feast is so grand, today is actually Princess Aurelion's birthday.
They can deny face to the king, but they certainly dare not deny face to the princess of the empire.
Not to mention that she is a princess from the empire, her background is profound and everyone present can see it.
Her father is Oberly, the most powerful warrior in the world, and the legendary scourge mage Victor is her teacher.
There is also the most powerful duke in their kingdom, Festan Barlow, who is also Aurelion's grandfather.
With so many connections and so many backgrounds, who dares not to give face?
The nobles present applauded one after another, and the entire banquet hall burst into thunderous applause.
Elegant violin music also switches for her, seeming to sing a hymn for Aureliano's birthday.
Aurelion also smiled politely at everyone.
It wasn't until the applause gradually subsided that August turned to the crowd and spoke with deep eyes:
"Well, on this special day, I have something I want to announce."
"My future queen candidate has been determined."
Countless people instantly raised their heads and looked at August.
Even Hilda, who was sitting with her sister, suddenly raised her head when she heard the news and looked at the king with her eyes fixed.
Aurelion even showed an expression of astonishment, her eyes were enlarged, and she looked at August in disbelief.
Why, on her birthday, would the king bring up such a topic?
Suddenly, the eyes of all the nobles of the kingdom were focused on Aurelion.
Apparently, countless people are aware of it.
August, are you going to propose to Aurelion?
To this princess from the empire! ?
This is a perfect marriage.
After all, Aurelion has a strong background, and forming an alliance with her means getting support from all three parties.
Moreover, August happened to choose the day of Aurelion's birthday, just right to arrange the marriage.
And August mentioned it on Aurelion's birthday, which seemed to be an even more perfect match.
As for Aurelion not agreeing? The empire won't agree?
How is this possible, unless Aurelion is the heir to the Empire.
Otherwise, the benefits of marrying the Kingdom of Kantor are too many, how could the empire refuse to agree.
And, a girl becomes the heir to the empire? How can this be?
The eighth emperor of the empire is all male!
Marrying Aurelion will also consolidate August's dominance.
Even the two people have the word "AO" in their names! It seems that their fate has been foreshadowed for a long time.
It's a win-win.
Everyone present seemed to think that the marriage was settled.
Aurelion seemed a little confused, because August's eyes had been locked on her.
An ominous premonition arose in her heart.
Finally, August said to her with a soft smile:
"I have decided to marry Precious Ness, the daughter of Count Lauryn, as my future queen."
"I hope Princess Aurelion can use today's birthday to witness for me."
At that moment, the whole place was silent.
Even the cheerful music stopped abruptly.
It seemed to speak of a deafening silence.
