Chapter 699 96. Split
“You want to travel far too?”
Annan looked at the fully armed Reiner in surprise.
"I want to inherit the teacher's last wish and find the master..." Reiner looked down at Annan, but his expression was like looking down at an elder who was respected by him: "Is there anyone else like me?"< br>
Annan sighed softly: "Lily also set off a few days ago, but she was going to pursue the meaning of life."
"If you see her coming back, please apologize to her for me."
"I will."
Leiner finally knighted Annan and left the garden.
Annan put away his weak feelings. Instead of going back to the garden hut, I first went to the dungeon, which was almost as familiar as home.
He is wearing a gray robe, which should reduce the chance of being discovered by the shadow of the Rekaner Kingdom.
"Let me out!"
The Scarlet Witch threw herself in front of the fence. The fence that can be broken with a little force is under the control of Mr. Swallow's magic runes, and the Scarlet Witch cannot escape at all.
"Let me out, boy." The Scarlet Witch deliberately licked her lips and lowered her gaze: "I am willing to do anything..."
"You can become a citizen of Free City who abides by the law. To train sailors and maintain trade across the Straits of Obiris?"
"Can't do it!"
"Then keep locking it up."
Annan turned around and left the dungeon, returning to the garden hut.
Lucy served him and took off her gray robe in the living room: "Princess wants to see you."
"I'll go over now."
Annan didn't pay attention to Lucy With complicated eyes, he walked through the corridor and arrived outside the Crimson Princess's bedroom.
Knock knock knock——
"Come in..." Crimson Princess's voice sounded.
Annan opened the door. It was afternoon. The soft light was shining from the window to the door. Annan squinted his eyes against the light: "Why..."
"Don't come over! ”
The sudden scream stopped Annan who walked into the room.
"...?"
Annan asked in confusion, suddenly realizing something, his black eyes under the sun slowly shrank...
He is a human being, and the sun is already a part of his life. . Even if he is careful to avoid it, blocking the windows with curtains and wearing gray robes, he will still ignore the harm of sunlight...
For example, now, he is standing in a sea of light, while the Scarlet Princess is standing on the other side. In the shadows, eyes were lowered.
"Are you human...?"
"Listen to me..."
At this moment, Annan's soul seemed to float out of his body, overlooking every expression of himself and the Scarlet Princess.
Indifferent, serious, and calculating.
At this moment, he thought of countless excuses to deal with it, such as saying that this was his talent, such as saying that it was a blessing from the city lord, or even the princess asked him to return to human form...
But when he saw The crimson princess's eyes, which were once as beautiful as gems, now seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, so numb that it made one's heart palpitate.
A northern proverb popped up in Annan's mind for no reason: ice and snow don't stay frozen.
Lies cannot last forever.
"I...I'm sorry, this all stems from a misunderstanding."
"I hate deceiving..." Princess Crimson interrupted him, the pain in her eyes made Annan unforgettable in his life, "It's really disgusting..."
"At least listen to me..."
Annan didn't give Princess Crimson a chance to say "I won't listen." He simply brought him back to Crimson Castle after being misunderstood by Dracula as a vampire. In order to save his life, he disguised himself as a vampire. Then he became an envoy and formed an alliance with the Skeleton King, and was entrusted with the task of killing aliens. Wen Cheng and others talked about a series of experiences.
"I never found a chance to explain, and "Seventh Night"... In fact, I watched it secretly, and..."
"And tore out a few pages." Crimson Princess Whisper. "You know?"
"I have read it many times and remember every word..." The Scarlet Princess raised her head. "I hate cheating."
"Sorry..."
"Get out, I don't want to see you again."
Lucy appeared outside the corridor. Annan did not force himself to stay here, closed the door and returned to Lucy's side.
“Why does the princess hate humans so much?”
This hatred even goes beyond feelings...
"She doesn't hate humans, but hates deception." Lucy looked at Annan with confusion, "Her Highness the Princess has been deceived by a terrible lie for nearly a hundred years."
"You shouldn't hide it from her."
"I want to find a chance to tell her..."
But it's too late to say this now.
"The princess is very sad...we should leave."
"Leave? But you will get the title deed soon -"
"Lucy!"
The Scarlet Princess screamed in pain from the bedroom.
Lucy restrained her complicated emotions and her eyes gradually became cold: "I'm sorry, please leave first."
Annan, who couldn't think of a way, had to leave here first. He asked his eldest sister to help, but even Itilia couldn't get a word in - she was blocked out by Lucy.
This depressing atmosphere lasted all afternoon. When evening came, there was sudden movement in the dull garden hut.
The Crimson Castle carriage drove away from the empty garden shed. Annan, who would have been one of them, suddenly became a bystander, and could only watch the Crimson Princess and himself part ways.
Lucy followed the carriage firmly. Dracula, on the other hand, stopped for a moment, looked at Annan hesitantly, then shook his head, sighed and followed the carriage.
The goblin leader, who had already learned the whole story, gloated: "Haha, screwed up."
The goblin's situation today is not innocent at all.
Annan watched the Crimson Princess's carriage disappear at the corner of the street. He tilted his head and said to Klein: "Tell the city lord's palace that the princess and the crimson princess have to deal with some matters. They leave first. Ask the city lord to send a team of knights to escort them. After the land deed is completed, they will be handed over. I’ll be fine, I’ll deliver it to Crimson Castle.”
Klein walked away, and not long after, a group of knights rushed out of the city lord’s palace and chased him along the street.
“Are you going to chase them?” Itilia in the wheelchair raised her head.
"No... let Princess Crimson calm down for a while. I plan to go to the southern swamp to visit the goblins myself."
By the way, bring the weirdos back.
...
"So, who are you?"
In the slightly swaying carriage, a touch of blood appeared on the palm of the crimson princess: "I don't want to hear lies anymore."
"A mysterious guy handed me into your hands... I don't know who he is or his purpose, but I guess... he is also a member of the vampire clan, and he wants me to assist you..."
"Assist me?"
"I am Victor Morel, one of the founders of the Blood Parliament. My knowledge and wealth will allow you to have a brilliant future like the sunset..."
Da da da da——< br>
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from outside, the crimson princess raised her head, and Lucy's silhouette appeared outside the window: "A group of human knights are escorting us."
"It must be arranged by Dai...Annan Yes." Dracula agreed.
"Don't mention that person..." Princess Crimson lowered her head and said to the being sealed in the Crimson Heart: "I don't need it."
"What about your mother...do you want to wake her up?"
