Victor stood there, staring at Priscilla, who was wearing a black dress and wrapping her legs.
Feeling Victor's gaze, Pulisis's eyes were filled with fear.
He froze in place nervously, and the hands holding the skirt turned a little white.
For Pulix, the man in front of her was a nightmare.
The fire that burned last time almost destroyed everything about her,
If it hadn't been for her father's timely appearance, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to stand here anymore.
But even if she was afraid, she had to come here to find Victor.
"Tell me, why did you come to me?"
Hearing Victor's voice, Priscilla couldn't help but tremble in fear.
But she was still at the side and said tremblingly:
"Please...save my mother."
"She was trapped by my father..."
She spoke every word with difficulty, as if every word used up all her strength.
Victor narrowed his eyes and looked at Pulisis with sharp eyes:
"Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"
Facing Victor's sharp gaze, Pulisis looked even more nervous.
She involuntarily took two steps back, her face turned pale, and she froze on the wall.
Suddenly, the monster with a twisted body and a face similar to Pulis struggled to stand up and walked in front of Pulis.
It opened its arms toward Victor.
Although the irregular limbs make it difficult to distinguish, there is no doubt that it is protecting Prixis.
Seeing this, Victor chuckled.
"Having become a vampire, you are always affected by that insoluble madness, but do you still want to subconsciously protect your daughter?"
He couldn't help but sigh.
"It's really touching."
Prixis listened to these words and was frightened by his words. She turned pale and endured the fear silently.
Victor looked at her again and continued:
"Perhaps you know that your mother's soul is occupying your body."
"You thought that was what your father did on purpose, so you hoped to free your mother's soul."
After hearing these words, Pulisis couldn't help but look up at Victor, her eyes full of hope and affirmation.
However, the next second, Victor's ruthless words were like sharp arrows, piercing into her heart:
"But what you did will only make your mother disappear completely."
Upon hearing this, Pulisis's pupils suddenly dilated, and she looked panicked for a moment.
She looked at Victor, unable to accept it.
"How...how could..." she shouted with difficulty.
"You should know what you are."
Victor's voice was cold:
"You have never been human, from beginning to end."
Before he finished speaking, Victor looked at the monster again and said lightly:
"Once upon a time, you were a vampire, but the madness that made you blind to your goals led you to kill your mother without knowing it."
"Your mother was torn apart by your madness, leaving not even a half-complete body."
Hearing this, Priscis' whole body stiffened.
She never had this memory in her mind.
"Your father for her, your mother."
Victor stretched out his hand, pointed at the vampire who looked exactly like Prixis, and continued:
"In order to prevent her soul from dissipating, he asked Grand Duke Barlow to integrate her soul into your body."
"And you are separated and don't have to endure the madness and pain of the blood race."
Why Prixis will not dissipate is not because the Archduke kept her soul.
It's because Pulisis is not dead at all, her body is still intact.
So her soul was just stripped out.
Therefore, she cannot enter the underworld to be reincarnated, nor can she enter the realm of the dead.
But Priscilla's mother was different.
Because she is approaching death and needs a complete body to rest her broken soul.
The body must fit well enough to induce her soul to settle down.
Therefore, the body of Prixis, who was related by blood, became the first choice to keep her mother's soul alive.
But as a vampire, Prixis would still be tortured by the symptoms of the vampire even if her mother's soul merged into this body.
There is absolutely no cure for this disease.
If you want to cure blood mania, you can only start from the root cause.
That is to transform the vampire race into a veritable vampire race.
If you want to achieve this condition, you can only...
…
"What!? Marry Priscilla!?"
After everyone present heard August announce his choice of queen, they were all stunned on the spot, like clay statues standing in the golden palace.
King he said....what?
To marry Prixis! ?
Aurelion was also stunned. She had seen the girl the king was talking about, and she knew what Pulisis was.
Priscilla Ness.
This affectionate earl, the dead daughter of Laurie Ness.
However, she is now a ghost!
And this King of Cantor actually wants to marry a ghost?
Not to mention in the Kingdom of Canter, even in the whole world, this matter seems very explosive!
The nobles present were even more confused. When they heard the news, they were no less confused than Aurelion.
Lord Lauryn's daughter?
Isn't she already dead?
How does a king marry a dead girl?
Countless nobles looked at Count Lauryn behind August, but found that there was nothing strange on his face.
It was as if the two of them had agreed long ago.
This made their mood even more confusing.
Not long after, a nobleman in the banquet hall finally broke the deadlock. He stood up and shouted at August:
"Your Majesty, you should give us all an explanation!"
As soon as these words came out, all the nobles around nodded in agreement.
Everyone's eyes were on the young king.
Let's not mention what he is going to do, whether it is sensationalism or not is another matter.
Even if it was a joke, as a king, it would be a taboo to marry a dead man.
After all, if a king marries a dead man, who wouldn’t be confused after seeing this?
However, August just smiled, as if he had anticipated the reaction of everyone present, and said with a smile:
"I was serious."
The noise of the crowd stopped suddenly, and several nobles even sat weakly on their chairs because they were too shocked.
"I will marry Prixis for the sake of the future of the entire kingdom."
For the sake of the kingdom?
This sounds ridiculous enough to be worthy of a fairy tale.
One of the earls couldn't bear it anymore. He punched the table with his fist, stood up suddenly, and yelled at August:
"August, are you crazy!"
After the previous demihuman invasion in the royal city, everyone had long been dissatisfied with August.
Now, he actually dares to do this.
So much so that the angry earl called Auguste by his first name.
"She is already dead! You should know this!"
At this time, August slowly narrowed his eyes, turned around slowly, and his eyes fell sharply on the earl.
There was a cold light in his eyes, and he responded with a cold voice:
"Yeah?"
The candlelight in the huge banquet hall became flickering, and the shadows of the people began to sway in the golden hall as the firelight flickered.
Half of August's face was covered by shadow, but his deep and deep gaze made everyone in the hazy eyes get goosebumps all over their bodies, and a cold feeling ran through their spines and into their hearts.
He grinned slightly, but this smile looked extremely weird in everyone's eyes:
"But what if Earl Lauryn's daughter can be resurrected?"
After hearing this, the nobles were all confused. They looked at each other and had a guess in their hearts.
Could it be that... I want Archduke Barlow to resurrect Pulisis?
But Archduke Barlow would not agree to this at all.
Everyone knows the tragic story of Lord Lauryn.
It is said that his daughter died because her insane mother brutally murdered her.
And Lord Lauryn was heartbroken,
In desperation, the count wanted to resurrect his daughter.
He took his huge territory and rich wealth to see the Grand Duke of Barlow, and was willing to dedicate all of it to the Grand Duke.
Even he himself was willing to become a subordinate and confidant of Archduke Barlow.
After all, the Necromancer can resurrect the dead, everyone present knows this.
But none of them had seen it with their own eyes.
Could it be that Lord Lauryn finally begged Archduke Barlow to resurrect his daughter?
Or is the king planning to speak up and plead for Lauryn?
But even if he did this, what was August doing for?
Even if Count Lauryn's daughter is resurrected and married to Prixis, it will not bring any benefit to the kingdom.
Because Lauryn himself is the earl of the Kingdom of Canter.
Even if his power is impressive.
But it is definitely not enough to allow the king to marry.
In the end, August still vowed that it was for the future of the entire kingdom.
If it's really for the good of the kingdom, wouldn't it be better to marry the princess of the neighboring empire directly?
Moreover, they are right next to you!
August saw the nobles' incomprehension and said with a grin:
"Speaking of which, do you know about the 'blood sacrifice'?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and before they could react, they heard August continue:
"The sacrifice must be completed at the cost of at least the lives of thousands of people."
"This can strip the Vampire form of its form and make it a true vampire."
Everyone present was stunned for a moment.
Wait a minute?
Blood race? vampire?
What's the meaning? How can we still get involved in this?
The nobles looked at each other and whispered in the banquet hall.
August was immersed in their whispers and suddenly raised his voice and asked:
"Now, how much time is left until midnight?"
A nobleman was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at his pocket watch, opened his mouth and said:
"And...three more hours?"
The corners of August's mouth raised, showing a satisfied smile, and he nodded slightly.
"Time is enough."
Suddenly, the sound of countless horses' hooves and wheels vibrating sounded from outside the banquet hall.
The sound was as muffled as thunder, as if an army had gathered here.
The carriage got closer and closer, and the shocking sound got louder and louder.
Almost the entire ground was shaking.
The nobles stared at the approaching carriage procession outside in amazement. Behind each carriage is a huge carriage, as if it is transporting some cargo.
What is this for?
August's eyes flashed with anticipation and enthusiasm, "Everyone, if you are interested, come with me to go out and find out."
August looked at the countless carriages stopped in front of the courtyard. August's eyes flashed with anticipation and enthusiasm:
"If you're curious, why don't you go out with me and take a look?"
Before he finished speaking, a group of nobles stepped outside.
The moment they approached the carriage, their expressions suddenly froze, and their ruddy face suddenly turned livid, and then turned purple.
They scattered one after another, vomiting continuously, and the mixture of alcohol and food fell into the courtyard, which smelled extremely sour.
Several nobles were all in disbelief. They pointed forward with trembling fingers:
"August, you..."
