Chapter 249 Vampire
The ball was still going on, but Jiang Liyue had already finished her dinner under Herlo's passionate, scorching gaze, which was filled with a morbid love.
Then he led me to a annex behind the main castle of Terence Castle.
Although Jiang Liyue had not asked Herlo about his identity, judging from his attire and his attitude towards the servants in the castle, his status should be quite high.
Logically speaking, in a castle, those of slightly higher status should reside in the main castle section.
But Herlo actually led her to the annex near the back of the main castle.
Out of curiosity, Jiang Liyue asked directly, thinking that Herlo wouldn't hide such a small matter from her.
However, Herlo paused in his forward movement after hearing her question.
Then he turned his head and looked deeply at Jiang Liyue, a smile on his face, his expression and tone very casual: "Because it's just the two of us, doesn't Yueyue think it's not good?"
Jiang Liyue knew immediately that this person's possessiveness had kicked in again, but for the time being, she still had a lot of patience with her newly minted boyfriend.
Moreover, someone has a tendency to go crazy from time to time, and Jiang Liyue doesn't want him to go crazy so early this time.
So she simply nodded to indicate that she understood: "Of course, I think it's good this way, I like a quiet environment."
Jiang Liyue's statement wasn't exactly a lie.
Of the four remaining girls who came with us, two were desperately trying to drop the Noble rank, and the other two were female players.
Living together is always inconvenient, so it's better for her to live with her boyfriend.
Hearing this, Herlo smiled with satisfaction: "I'm glad Yueyue likes it."
But when he looked away, his eyes drooped slightly, concealing the deeper meaning within them.
What a joke! Of course he couldn't possibly leave Yueyue under that person's nose; otherwise, he knew without even thinking what would happen.
Don't even think about anyone else ruining his and Yueyue's time together!
Just as Herlo had said, there were only the two of them in this part of the annex.
In the empty corridor, the only sound was the soft rustling of their footsteps on the carpet.
Jiang Liyue noticed that the walls of the corridor here were still adorned with landscape paintings, but they were different from those she had seen in the west annex building.
Although these paintings are described as landscapes, they are not ordinary landscapes, but rather eerie landscape paintings composed of twisted, dark lines.
If you stare at it closely, it's as if you can be sucked into the vortex inside, creating a unique kind of beauty.
She found it interesting and leaned closer to take a look.
"This painter must be very skilled," Jiang Liyue praised. Although she couldn't paint, she could appreciate art.
Herlo looked somewhat pleased: "He should be very happy to have Yueyue's appreciation."
Jiang Liyue noticed that the tips of his ears were slightly red, and suddenly a guess came to her mind.
I didn't realize her boyfriend had this kind of skill in this instance.
Jiang Liyue pretended not to notice and deliberately sighed, "It's a pity that this painter only paints landscapes, otherwise I really wanted him to paint a portrait of me."
“Actually, I can draw for Yueyue.” Herlo’s eyes lit up when she heard her make such a request.
Only after I finished speaking did I realize that, in my haste, I had mistakenly said "I".
Seeing the playful smile in Jiang Liyue's eyes, he could only scratch his head and admit, "Okay, Yueyue, I drew all of these."
During the long wait, I didn't want to fall into a deep sleep, for fear of missing her.
So Herlo could only rely on those faint memories to pass the time by drawing, in order to keep himself from falling asleep.
Unexpectedly, these paintings gradually filled the entire building.
"Then what about the portrait you promised me?" Jiang Liyue asked him with a smile.
“I can paint for Yueyue anytime.” Herlo looked intently at her; it was all for her sake…
Meanwhile, in the live stream, after Jiang Liyue left, the camera remained focused on the ballroom.
Clearly, tonight's dance will not be peaceful.
Even during the ball, some viewers still noticed Jiang Liyue's departure in the live chat.
What happened? Why did Yueyue's wife run away?
If I'm not mistaken, it seems my wife ran off with some other man.
[I saw it too, and judging from the man's back, it's another handsome guy that Yueyue likes.]
[Oh, he's handsome. That's alright then, just Yueyue's usual routine.]
[...Why did you make it sound like Yueyue is love-struck?]
What did Yueyue do wrong? She's just a womanizer. As for being love-struck, aren't those her men the ones who are?
【agree! 】
Aren't you all curious about what kind of eerie thing this new dungeon is about? A new dungeon that's already an A-rank dungeon from the start is definitely not simple.
[But so far, apart from an NPC dying in the Rose Garden this afternoon, there doesn't seem to be any bloodshed in this instance. Where's the prestige of an A-rank instance?]
That's right, the live stream camera was right there when Lucia died in the rose garden.
Therefore, the viewers in the live stream had already seen Herlo, and some had even predicted that he was Jiang Liyue's new boyfriend in the dungeon.
After all, there's probably only one handsome guy of this caliber in a dungeon...
After the rose garden scene, viewers in the live chat never saw any more death scenes, not only were there no death scenes, but also none of their favorite romance segments.
Now, even Jiang Liyue, who occasionally flashes by in the camera, has disappeared.
What's the point of this dungeon?!
[Don't rush, I feel the climax is coming soon.]
As it turned out, this comment was correct; not long after Jiang Liyue left the ballroom...
One by one, the guests left in pairs.
This is certainly reasonable, since the purpose of this ball is to socialize.
Even though the Duke and Duchess of Terence Castle did not appear, it did not prevent the men and women at the ball from developing feelings for each other in such an ambiguous situation, and then, under the influence of hormones, began a wonderful night.
Mary felt lucky; although she was a step behind Lucia, she still met a handsome and gentlemanly nobleman at the ball that night.
As she followed the other person into the room, Mary couldn't hide her excitement.
Perhaps after tonight, she can live the life she wants and become someone everyone envies.
"Baron Augu, I truly admire you," Melie confessed, blushing, to the pale, handsome man before her.
Baron Augu, who looked rather thin, had a red glint in his eyes upon hearing this. He smiled and said, "Miss Meryl, you're so lovely. Of course, I admire you too, my dear..."
Upon hearing such a confession, Mary felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
She mustered her courage, looked at the man boldly yet shyly, and offered him a kiss.
But the next moment, Baron Augu whispered, "It smells so sweet..."
His voice was low, carrying a hint of praise and appreciation. Because they were so close, it seemed that only then did Mary realize that his breath was icy cold.
Even the skin was completely cold.
It's like... like a corpse that has been dead for many years, rather than a living person.
This sudden thought made Mary pause in her act of kissing him. In this huge, gloomy castle, she finally realized the unknown fear that was lurking within her.
Unfortunately, Baron Augu would not allow Merry to escape at this point. He lowered his head, finally revealing his sharp fangs and his eyes, which remained crimson even in the darkness.
Just like the legendary vampire.
