Chapter 755 152. Under Tranquility
Let Princess Crimson accompany the queen, and Annan comes out of the castle alone.
Let Lucy and Irene go in to serve, Annan took Dracula to deal with the pseudo-Stulett family.
The vampires of the pseudo-Stulett family were imprisoned in the dungeon. Annan opened the portal in the necropolis, letting the undead run to the Crimson Castle to set up anchors, and then ended the commission with the blue dragon tribe.
This was the Scarlet Queen's idea. With the Blood Parliament above their heads, they were unable to launch actual revenge against the Archduke of Borodia. Only the Pseudo-Stulett family could attack directly as it was regarded as a family conflict... So they had to stay dormant for a while.
This was not in line with the Scarlet Queen's flamboyant personality in the past. They would have guessed that she had paid some price even if she woke up.
Annan's gifted spells have scared many vampires, and many friends and enemies from the past will come to visit. There should be some overtures, but it's more of a temptation.
In addition, the Scarlet Queen also pretended not to know about the other two enemies for the time being, and only stared at the Grand Duke of Borodia.
The Grand Duke of Polodia troubled them, and they made trouble for the Grand Duke of Polodia. Other enemies troubled them, and they also troubled the Grand Duke of Borodiya.
On the other side, as soon as the anchor point reached the Crimson Castle, Annan opened the portal and took the Crimson Princess's blood servants, subordinates, and vassal villages back to the Stuart family.
The Stuart family castle was in dilapidated condition, and the servants who returned to the clan were excited to work on cleaning the castle.
The Scarlet Queen met the Skeleton King in the meeting hall of the castle. Wearing a floor-length scarlet dress, she looked like a large crimson princess sitting on the throne. She first thanked the Skeleton King for helping her daughter, and then reservedly invited him to be a guest in the Stuart family for a while.
She thought that the Skeleton King did not know her weakness, but in fact Annan told it quietly. As for why it was not made public... because she was afraid that Lian Na's mother would be thin-skinned.
Skeleton King did not refuse because he was an ally, Annan was there, and the Scarlet Queen promised to give it some vampires for experiments - those who were traitors.
The Scarlet Queen wanted to execute them, but she had a disagreement with Annan and the Crimson Princess.
She wanted to kill all the betrayers, but the Scarlet Princess couldn't bear it. Annan thought that this was too light on the betrayers and too harsh on the innocent. It was changed to imprisoning and executing vampires who participated in splitting the Stuart family and assassinating the Crimson Princess. Those who did not participate were deprived of the Stuart surname and became blood servants.
Of the three epic vampires, one was killed by the Scarlet Queen to vent her anger, one was given to the Skeleton King, and the other was turned into a slave.
Their ending was pretty good... Hundreds of years ago, no one would have been spared. You must know that the Scarlet Queen's reputation was built on her blood and cruelty.
In addition, there should be the Stuart family bloodline who are in exile outside. Dracula is responsible for spreading the word and accepting the return of these true tribesmen who have not surrendered.
The Stuart family cannot be left with only mother and daughter...
Princess Crimson did not regard Annan as an outsider, and Annan did not regard himself as an outsider. He was doing his second favorite thing: taking over the wealth of the pseudo-Stulett family.
More than 30,000 gold coins were moved into the newly cleared treasure house. The oil paintings, antiques, and blankets that the pseudo-Stulett family plundered from the tribe were also returned to their original owners. The Scarlet Queen is still there. The shop shrunk by one-sixth...
The Stuart family is now poorer than an earl.
The Scarlet Queen did not leave the bedroom after meeting her tribe members in the banquet hall.
Her external excuse was to meet with important allies. She even refused invitations and visits from old friends outside the castle, and then allowed the Skeleton King to show up in a nearby city.
The fog shrouding the Stewart family has kept many conspiracies weaving dormant.
But it cannot fool the truly smart people... For example, the Blood Parliament has remained silent so far. It has not summoned the Scarlet Queen, but only sent a messenger to express its welcome to the Scarlet Queen's awakening.
In any case, the storm over the Scarlet Queen's awakening has come to an end for the time being.
The Scarlet Queen's attention fell on Annan, who had been busy these days. She didn't fully trust Annan.
Even though Annan had done so much, supported the Scarlet Princess to come back, and woke her up with her own hands, she still couldn't completely trust him without the connection of family ties.
This is the fate of a superior person, and it is also the vigilance of a mother - a human being who is close to his daughter... The last person to do this was the God of Love and her husband.
But she buried this suspicion deeply, and Annan realized that it was because of her talent as a warlock.
He can understand.
If a succubus or elf approaches him intentionally, he will also think that they are up to no good.
The Scarlet Queen's solution to eliminate distrust is...
"Annan, do you have a wife?"
The Scarlet Queen leaned on the bed. She still needs help to walk now, and I don’t know when it will take until she starts to regain her strength...
And the only ones who know the truth are Annan and Crimson Princess... not even Dracula and the others know.
“No.” Annan, who was vaguely aware of the Scarlet Queen’s intentions, added: “But I have someone I like.”
"It doesn't matter, her status shouldn't be too high."
The Scarlet Queen learned from her daughter that Annan's city-state... was good at being able to establish a foothold in two years, but after all, it was just a small lord with a population of tens of thousands.
Annan mustered up the courage and looked directly at the Scarlet Queen: "Do you have someone you like?"
The Scarlet Queen's bright red lips were slightly open in surprise, and the Crimson Princess was even more stunned. There, he quickly looked back and forth between Annan and his mother.
"What I mean is that liking is a... emotion that arises from emotion." Annan forced himself to make up, "It needs to come from the heart, and forcing will only make people feel constrained... …”
The Scarlet Queen pursed her red lips and tilted her head: "Lena, what do you think?"
"I also think it's too early to say this..." The Scarlet Princess stood aside and squirmed.
Crimson Princess loves to watch "Seventh Night", but she only appreciates the short and gorgeous love. In her bones, she still carries the conservatism of the ancient vampires—spending decades to get to know her partner, and then living with him for hundreds of years.
The Scarlet Queen's eyes flashed with worry, feeling that her daughter was too naive and would be played by this boy sooner or later...but she couldn't tell her, so she had to watch Annan change the topic: "I've been thinking about Sture recently. What should the Te family do next? "
That's exactly what she is concerned about.
"The situation of the family is not optimistic. Your strength has not recovered, and you will start to test and even encroach..."
"The Skeleton King can help us, but it is only an ally and cannot stay here for too long. You also I said that you were sleeping because of the conspiracies and sneak attacks outside... In the Blood Parliament, no one dares to break the rules, so the best way is for us to get the parliamentary seats..."
"You plan to. How to do it?”
“Have you ever heard of magic images?”
