Chapter 626 23. Indispensable Conflict
Annan is the focus of the banquet. Wherever he stands, he attracts a lot of attention.
The young vampire looked sideways at Annan and continued to challenge: "What method did you use to form an alliance with the Skeleton Duke? Is it because you betrayed yourself?"
"I am very disappointed... Crimson Princess." Annan sighed softly.
The young vampire who was ready to face trouble was stunned, and the Crimson Princess, who was delighted by Annan's arrival, was equally stunned, and then showed unbearable sadness.
"I..."
"I always thought that the vampires were all beautiful and elegant nobles like you. I didn't expect that there are such trash."
"You..."
The young vampire's face turned as red as the Crimson Princess, but because of anger.
"What do you want to say?" Annan interrupted him rudely. He was obviously shorter than many guests present, but at this moment he seemed to be rising into the clouds, while they were all low in the soil, needing to look up. "In what capacity do you accuse a member of the bloody parliament? Or are your current thoughts the thoughts of the big man behind you? Saying his name, I want to know who is so bold, and I also want to know how he will solve this Offend...such as selling out his unabashed subordinates?"
"I..."
Under Annan's pressing pressure, the young vampire's already pale face became even paler.
"A fool who is worse than the Mad Dog Archduke..."
At least the mad dog can really bite and bark, but he only dares to bark once and then tuck his tail.
Annan's attention left him, swept across the other vampires at the banquet, and said loudly: "You are qualified to participate in this banquet because the Crimson Princess thinks that you are of the same race and asked the Skeleton Duke to invite you, but it is a pity that you I don’t appreciate it, and I don’t even want to call her Princess... Guard!”
Two giant skeleton guards entered the banquet and knelt in front of Annan cooperatively.
Annan is to the necropolis what he is to the castle.
“Throw this guy out of the necropolis.”
The skeleton guard did as he was told, grabbing the ugly young vampire like a bat and leaving the banquet.
Annan withdrew his gaze and deliberately used a voice that could be heard by other vampires and Lian Na, whose crimson eyes were about to melt, said: "Just get rid of this garbage. He is not one of your people, and you don't need to worry about it." He is in charge.”
Then Annan whispered: "And you, as a member of the Twelve Council, you let a little guy bully you like this."
The Scarlet Princess puffed her lips: "It used to be Lucy and Dracula's gang. I blocked it."
"They protected you very well."
"You are also protecting me..." The crimson princess quietly held Annan's arm with a blush on her face.
Realizing that Princess Crimson’s attitude had changed from initial appreciation and liking to dependence, he thought that he had accidentally done something corresponding to "Seventh Night" again?
Annan felt that even if she revealed her human identity at this time, she would not say anything else.
"But, David, you are in trouble...do you know who it is?" said the Scarlet Princess worriedly.
"Besides the legendary vampire emperor, what else can make the princess worry?"
"We are still very weak now..." The Scarlet Princess originally knew this, "There is a special person behind him. Earl Na, behind Earl Turner is the Grand Duke of Borodia who has always been at odds with his mother..."
"That's why we have to make a sound," Annan taught the Scarlet Princess, "if the enemy tests us. And if we do nothing, they will think that we are weak, but if we fight back when the enemy tests us, they will be afraid of us because of our confidence.”
"I understand..."
Crimson Princess unconsciously crossed her arms.
"How did you do it?"
"What did you do?"
"Say such...powerful words." "Have you forgotten, I He used to be a city lord.”
A figure came to greet them and interrupted their conversation.
"Your Highness, Crimson Highness, I am honored to see you here."
Annan pulled out his arm, while Princess Crimson put away her coquettish expression in front of her, and nodded arrogantly.
"Whose subordinate are you?" Annan suddenly asked.
The male vampire with long curly hair hesitated: "Earl Becky..."
The Scarlet Princess understood Annan's intention: "Uncle Becky... I remember he came to attend my 100th birthday. "
The long curly-haired vampire showed a smile: "Sir Becky was still talking about your mother a few days ago."
They talked for a few more words, and the long-curly-haired vampire left.
"David..." The Scarlet Princess crossed her arms tightly and pressed her chest against Annan, "You should just follow me."
Annan had no choice but to bid farewell to the ladies for a while and accompany the Scarlet Princess to respond to the nobles who came to greet them one after another.
Seeing the Crimson Princess maintaining her arrogance with excitement hidden on her face, Annan suddenly didn’t know whether what she did was right or wrong.
The Crimson Princess is still a child who is not yet five hundred years old. She is not ready to become the Twelve Councilors... In the past, because she was as weak and harmless as a rabbit, the enemies of her and her mother Maybe he wasn't in the mood to take the initiative to cause trouble for her. But as she forms an alliance with the Skeleton Duke, she will inevitably jump into the sight of the Blood Parliament.
"Your Highness..."
Crimson Princess interrupted him: "Call me Lian Na."
"Okay...Lena, when you go back, tell Lucy what happened at the banquet, and then ask her if she is willing to tell me about the past between you and your mother."
"I can... right now... …"
"No, you have to ask her first, and then she decides whether to tell me or not."
"Okay."
It's about trust and the future. ——Will Crimson Princess become an ally of Liberty City?
Now that Annan is showing his sincerity, even if his identity is revealed in the future, their relationship may not change. But if they continue to inquire like this, the future will be like "a warlock city lord with evil intentions lurking around the young Crimson Princess to gain trust and learn secrets."
After all the vampires at the banquet came to greet them, Princess Crimson lost interest in continuing. Annan returned to the Skeleton King and was about to say goodbye, but saw it pick up the wine glass.
Annan said nothing, and the Scarlet Princess didn't speak either. Two pairs of jewel-like eyes watched it pour a glass of red wine into its mouth...but no wine fell from its throat.
"How did you do it?"
Annan stared at the ribs and abdominal cavity in the Skeleton Duke's cloak very presumptuously and rudely.
"This is just a magical body, and the bones are just containers for my soul. I can even excrete it if necessary. Do you want to take a look?"
"My thirst for knowledge is not that strong." Annan Rejecting Skeleton King's enthusiasm, "We are going back first."
"No problem."
Crimson Princess still held Annan's arm, as if nothing could separate them.
Except Skeleton King.
"Are you free? Come to my alchemy room later. I have good news to tell you."
