Chapter 759 156. Queen, I want you
Before tempting the Scarlet Queen to play Elizabeth, Annan still has one important thing to do.
Marquis Nidra of Rice City actually remembered the agreement he made with Annan, saying that he had gathered more than 600 human slaves.
The servant who delivered the message left, and Annan was worried that it was a trap.
Lucy told him not to worry. Even if she has been silent for hundreds of years, the Scarlet Queen's power will still remain. There are many nobles outside who hope to catch up with the Stuart family...
In view of this, Annan took Count Pedro to Rice City in person, and saw humans crowded in the warehouse like animals.
Most of the humans sold to the Blood Parliament are girls, but whether they are men or women, they all have one thing in common...youth.
According to statistics from the beginning of this year, the average age in Liberty City is only 23 years old. This is the age averaged by some elves and aliens... But the average age of humans here will only be lower, 18 years old, or even 16 years old. ...
"The Glory of Rikaner" said that Liberty City is a garbage dump - Annan doesn't care at all, they have no idea what the population represents.
It is true that there are very few professionals among the current population of 80,000, but these people represent the future.
There was also a daughter of a big shot among the slaves. Marquis Nidra brought her to Annan and introduced her as the daughter of a human count.
Liya is like a forgotten pearl, hidden under the dust.
Her skirt was in tatters and covered with mud and dust, and her cheeks looked dim and tired due to the experience, but her determination could still be seen.
The titles in the southern countries do not represent power like vampires, but even if it is just status, an earl is at least as good as an epic. Some earls will even hire legends to serve themselves.
“How did you get sold here?”
Annan's first thought was that something happened to her and she was framed by a political enemy.
But Liya's answer was unexpected: "I came here on my own."
"Why?"
"I need strength."
Annan thought she regretted it again, but still not. Liya rejected Annan's two offers to send them back or to Liberty City, and chose the third path: "I want to stay."
"Are you still awake?" Annan broke her illusion of a vampire, "You will only become a blood slave, locked in a dark dungeon and having your blood drawn day after day..."
"I I know, but I need strength."
Liya's body is dirty, but her soul is pure, and her tired eyes reveal a hint of stubborn flame: "As long as I can get strength, It’s nothing even if she is a vampire’s pet.”
Annan thought that there must be a painful story buried behind her.
No longer persuading, Annan tilted his head and asked Marquis Nidra: "Are there many people who think like this?"
"Many human beings who want to gain power and immortality will come here to try their luck...sometimes we don't force them..."
Marquis Nidra's tone seemed to pluck vampires from this sin. Got out.
Annan raised his head and announced that those who wanted to go home would stand on the left, and those who were going to Liberty City would stand on the right. But this time there was an additional choice: those who stayed would stand in the middle.
More than six hundred humans quickly stood in their positions, most of them went to Liberty City, a few went home, and a dozen humans headed by Liya stood in place...
Most people understand that the so-called "power and immortality" are just poison hidden in sweet cakes, but some people still want to eat the poison in one bite.
Annan opened two portals and dismissed the humans in the area. Annan saved them this time, but no one would save them again if something happened again.
These people left, except Liya.
“Why are you following me?”
“I know you. You are the Lord of Liberty City and an ally of the Stewart family.” Liya said, “I want to follow you. You. "
Annan wants to say that the Scarlet Queen doesn't have power now, so how can she give you power?
"There is nothing you can do here."
"I can be your slave, a blood slave, I just want a chance!"
Annan saw the peace in her eyes Tasia had a similar look on her face at first, but her attitude was somewhat relaxed.
"Okay, I will take you back...but I will not ask about what happens after that."
Annan withdrew his gaze and asked the expectant Marquis Nidra: "What are you doing again? I saved a group of humans, what can I give you?”
"It's my honor to serve you and the Stuart family..." Marquis Nidra expressed humility and no need for thanks.
"In this case...I will tell Her Majesty the Queen about you." This should be what Marquis Nidra wants.
Annan likes this. He got the benefits without having to pay.
Returning to Stuart Castle, Annan handed Liya to Lucy - he didn't say it in words, but he still gave Liya a good start.
"Where is the princess?"
"She is in the kitchen."
"Kitchen?"
Annan followed the servant leading the way through the newly renovated corridor and saw a pot being cooked. Slimy, green, ominous and abominable, fluorescent viscous soup.
"Are you preparing a potion to force the prisoner to speak?" Annan asked curiously.
"I... uh... um!" Princess Crimson nodded guiltily.
"The princess is so amazing..."
After saying something perfunctory, Annan left the kitchen.
"Is the food I cook bad..." Princess Crimson, who was actually preparing human food for Annan, asked the housekeeper.
Dracula said euphemistically: "Master Annan is a human being, not a pig..."
"But I think the humans in the village eat something similar to this..."
"Will you eat the same thing as the Blood Servant?"
The Scarlet Princess shook her head, and then realized Find out where you went wrong.
……
The Scarlet Queen is slowly pushing her wheelchair down the corridor.
At some point, she heard familiar footsteps. She quickly folded her hands on her legs and looked at Annan who came out of the corner elegantly and noblely.
"Your Majesty, why are you here..." Annan said in surprise.
“I am admiring the moon.”
Annan looked at the empty and deserted corridor beside the Scarlet Queen and understood something.
"Lucy said you brought a human to her?"
"Well...I have some ideas..."
Annan knew that the Scarlet Queen had never believed in herself...or not in humans...or not in anyone.
“Why don’t you try to cooperate with humans and let humans help you?”
“Do you think no family has done this in tens of thousands of years?”
“Really "
"Yes, but human beings are naturally suspicious... Most contact has a purpose..."
"Hehe..." Annan touched his head. It sounded like the vampire had suffered some losses in this matter.
"I'm not complimenting you."
Annan changed the subject: "Don't you want to ask me what I need?"
"Have you thought of it?"
The Scarlet Queen raised her eyes. Sure enough, no one is an exception...
Annan looked at the Scarlet Queen seriously: "Queen, I want you!"
The Scarlet Queen opened her red lips in surprise.
Pa—
The Crimson Princess, who was coming from the corner, accidentally knocked over the cooking pot.
