Chapter 260 Her Husband's Heart Broken

Putting the search for the Duke aside for the time being, Jiang Liyue waited for Herlo to leave before resuming her search for books in the library.

She was looking for books about vampires, or some kind of magic array, similar to the kind you see in ballrooms.

The library was very large, and Jiang Liyue quickly found books related to vampires.

But it's either a story about falling in love with a vampire, or a terrifying legend about vampires.

Simply put, none of them are useful.

It was a far cry from the kind of book Jiang Liyue wanted that specifically described the characteristics of vampires.

She immediately realized that the books must have been deliberately hidden.

However, Jiang Liyue soon noticed a rose-shaped gold logo next to her armchair.

She simply placed her hand on it, and a hidden door appeared beside her.

Jiang Liyue's eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped inside.

The hidden door led to a quaint study with a row of bookshelves, dim candlelight, and an open book and a quill pen on the desk.

It appears the owner of the study was reading or writing here before leaving.

Jiang Liyue showed no guilt whatsoever at prying into other people's privacy, and picked up the book that was open on the desk.

The book cover was entirely black, and the title was in red runes that Jiang Liyue couldn't understand, crooked and twisted.

The red color seemed to have seeped into the paper, and staring at it for too long would give you a creepy feeling.

Jiang Liyue opened the book and realized that it contained records of all sorts of dark magic.

There are methods for killing people silently, methods for turning people into blood, and methods for controlling other people's minds and extracting their souls.

The page that was previously unfolded was torn off, so it's impossible to see what was on it.

But Jiang Liyue suspected that the torn-out page contained the symbols drawn in the ballroom.

Therefore, what is painted in the hall should be dark magic, and the secret of the ball in the quest is most likely related to this.

It's a pity that this page was torn out, otherwise she could have completed the task.

Jiang Liyue wasn't too disappointed, mainly because A-level dungeons were never that simple. She had experienced so many dungeons and understood their patterns.

In any case, the clues won't be laid out in the open; we'll have to unravel them step by step.

She thought it was pretty good. What's the point of just playing a regular game and beating it all at once?

After putting down the book, Jiang Liyue searched through the bookshelf again, and this time there were many different kinds of vampire books on the shelf.

They were all piled up at the very bottom of the bookshelf.

Jiang Liyue flipped through the pages one by one and finally gained a basic understanding of the vampires in this dungeon.

Most of the settings were similar to those she had seen before: vampires, fear of light, immortality, and so on.

However, the concept of twin vampires drew her special attention.

So, are Herlo and his brother twin vampires, which is why they are so incompatible?

No wonder Herlo has been slandering the other party.

But if it really turned out to be a fight to the death, as the curse described, Jiang Liyue felt it didn't quite seem like the case.

Although Herloh particularly disliked Hermer, when he mentioned him, his eyes showed only disgust and disdain, but not the kind of hatred that wanted to kill him.

It's not that I don't want the other person to die; it's just that I seem to be mindful of something, which is why I've maintained this delicate balance.

Moreover, the fact that the same soul is split in two means that Herlo's brother has the other half of her boyfriend's boyfriend, right?

No, there are two instances of this instance!

Jiang Liyue belatedly realized what was happening.

Her boyfriend seems to have broken down in this instance.

A crack in a physical sense.

"What do you want?" Herlo pushed open the study door, leaned against the door frame with disdain, and seemed unwilling to even take another step inside.

He leaned back casually, revealing his exquisite and handsome face.

Inside the study, the man sitting in the chair in front of the desk had a face exactly like his.

Compared to Herlo's casual expression, he looked much calmer and more aloof, his face like an iceberg that never melts.

The two come from the same soul, possess the same power and appearance, yet have completely different personalities.

Hermer seemed to be used to Herlo's attitude and wasn't angry. He simply asked, "Were you just drawing?"

Herlo replied matter-of-factly, "Yes, so what?"

"After finishing the painting, you even changed your clothes to see me?" Hermer pointed out his flaw.

Herlok had never acted like this before. He didn't care about Hermer's thoughts at all. Even if he had just gone to the dungeon to vent his anger by killing someone, he would still come to see him covered in the smell of blood.

Instead of doing this now, taking a special shower and changing clothes, as if she were deliberately hiding something.

Faced with Hermer's question, Herlo replied naturally, "If you accidentally spill paint on yourself while painting, you can't just leave it untouched."

"Is that so?" Hermer seemed to be asking casually, and soon began to ask about the details of today's interrogation.

Herlo found standing at the door tiring, so he finally approached the study, but he wasn't going to stand obediently and answer questions like his subordinates.

Instead, he sprawled on the sofa without any regard for appearances and said, "What else can I say? You're so stubborn. I think we should just kill you. I really don't know what you're up to."

Hermer ignored his complaints and told him to get to the point.

By the end, Herlo was getting a little annoyed; he just wanted to stay with Yueyue.

If he can just get through these few days of the ball, he can take Yueyue away from here and make sure Hermer can never find her again.

He will always be with Yueyue.

Thinking of this, Herlo's eyes lit up with excitement.

Then, in the next moment, Hermer suddenly spoke up: "Aren't you going to see her today?"

“Of course I’ll go,” Herlo answered without hesitation.

It wasn't until I realized what I had said that I understood.
