Willie wasn't sure whether he should praise him for being smart.
He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"What about Nadario? Have you ever heard of that name?"
Lansa, standing to the side, spoke up timidly:
"Some time ago, an internal strife broke out in the werewolf tribe. One of the leaders, the werewolf who was defeated and beheaded... I think that's his name."
……OK.
"Then... Deville?"
The two looked at each other and shook their heads simultaneously.
The poor old butler got a beating and didn't even leave a trace of his name in Scarlett's dream.
Willy recalled the people he had met in the castle, and a name flashed through his mind. He tentatively began to speak:
“…Zefiri?”
Surely we can't just "kill off" this person too, can we?
Fortunately, Si Yuan's words dispelled Willy's doubts the next second.
"His Highness Thun is one of the noble vampire princes and a friend of His Highness Lysen. He is currently residing in the castle and will serve as the officiant for this wedding."
Do you wish to meet with him?
"...No need."
"Have you taken your measurements?"
Vili suddenly turned to look at "Lansha," who was tidying up her measuring tape, and asked gently.
"Alright, Your Highness." The latter nodded hastily and took out paper and pen from her bag. "Do you have any thoughts on the style of the dress?"
"Do everything as you wish."
Vili waved his hand dismissively, then looked at "Si Yuan".
"Where is Scarlett? I need to see him."
"His Highness should be in his study handling official business at this time, it's inconvenient... Your Highness, Princess Consort?!"
Before Si Yuan could finish speaking, Vili ignored her and pushed open the door, walking in one direction.
This place is laid out similarly to Zeffir's castle; the study should be located in...
He followed the road he remembered and saw two armored soldiers guarding a door in the distance. The moonlight reflected a cold light off their armor. The moment he met Vili's gaze, a heavy thud sounded, and the two knelt down to pay their respects.
"Your Highness."
The vampire's sharp and sensitive ears had already vaguely heard the conversation inside the door, and behind him, "Si Yuan" followed, panting.
Is Scarlett inside?
A red light flashed from the slit beneath the helmet. The two guards exchanged a glance, and one of them hesitated before saying:
"Your Highness, the study is a sensitive place. Several princes are discussing matters inside. Please allow me to announce your arrival..."
As he spoke, he slipped inside.
"So, I, the princess, have to have someone else deliver a message if I want to see my husband?"
Willie didn't seem angry. He leaned forward slightly with his hands behind his back, his cunning eyes narrowing gently, like a pretty little fox.
Under his gaze, the guard was drenched in sweat, wishing he could immediately take off his armor so he could catch his breath.
"This...that..."
Fortunately, his companions arrived quickly to rescue him.
"Your Highness, Prince Leisen said... said..."
"say what?"
"He is discussing important matters with VIPs and therefore cannot leave at the moment."
"...He won't see me?"
Willie curled the corners of his mouth, but there seemed to be no smile in his bright red eyes.
With a "gulp," the guard delivering the message swallowed hard, a sudden idea forming in his mind.
"His Highness also said that the roses in the garden are in full bloom tonight. Perhaps you can rest there for a while. He will come to pay his respects to you as soon as he is done."
...Actually, he made all of this up.
Scarlett's exact words were—
"I'm busy."
"Can't you see I'm busy? Your Highness? What could he possibly have that would warrant bothering me?"
"Let him wait. I'll go see him when I'm in a better mood. If he can't wait, he can go to the garden and weed, find something to do, and not get in the way here."
Willy stared at the man for a while, until he felt guilty and lowered his head, unable to say a word, before finally taking pity on him and letting him go.
There's no point in making things difficult for a guard.
"Alright, then I'll wait for his arrival in the garden."
He deliberately emphasized those four words, and before turning to leave, he didn't forget to leave a message for "Si Yuan".
"Don't follow me."
Compared to this NPC-like character, the real Si Yuan is much more endearing and lively.
After he left, the two guards breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and whispered among themselves.
"Don't you think Her Highness looks exceptionally beautiful today?"
"Yes... I used to think he wasn't good enough for Prince Leisen, but I don't know why today..."
He even felt that the prince who said those words... was somewhat ungrateful.
"Forget it, the affairs of the princes are not something we should discuss. Have you forgotten how Prince Leisen punished his men? The blood in the basement couldn't be washed away even after several days..."
Silence fell again outside the study.
Meanwhile, people inside the house were also talking about Vili.
"She's not one of your subordinates who gets beaten and scolded but doesn't dare to talk back. She's your lovely new wife. Is this attitude really appropriate?"
A beautiful woman leaned lazily against a soft chair, her slightly wavy black hair draped over her shoulders, which she casually played with by twirling it between her fingers.
"If he had heard what you just said, he might have run out in tears."
Opposite her stood an old man with a long white beard, who sighed and shook his head upon hearing this.
"Hey Lyson, you're not hiding something, are you? You don't have any secrets you're hiding, that's why..."
The tall, blond man slapped his thigh suddenly, but before he could finish speaking, he met Scarlett's gaze, his voice trailing off until he finally shut up sheepishly.
“I don’t think Leisen is that kind of person.” The woman in the gorgeous dress gracefully unfolded her feather fan and said with a smile, “It’s probably just that he doesn’t know how to love when he first gets engaged.”
"What do you think, Zephyr?"
She extended her attack to the silver-haired man who was sitting quietly reading a book to the side.
"..."
In an instant, all eyes were drawn to this person with a noble air. He slowly closed the book, his dark red eyes, like the finest wine, blinked gently.
"...Lesson got married?"
A burst of laughter suddenly erupted inside the room, with the blond man laughing the loudest, almost choking himself.
“Sydney, why did you have to ask Zephyr? He locks himself in that remote old castle all day long, if it weren’t for this…”
His laughter stopped abruptly: "Wait a minute, Lyson, didn't you ask Zeffirri to be your witness? How come he didn't even know you were getting married?"
"Because he probably threw my invitation into a pile of books a long time ago."
The red-haired man behind the desk finally spoke. The cold smile on his lips did not detract from his exquisite and perfect appearance; on the contrary, it was like the dazzling scales of a venomous snake, reflecting a captivating charm in the shadows.
"Alright, I didn't invite you here just for idle chatter."
