Chapter 258 Elope with Me
In order to quickly let bygones be bygones, Herlo hugged Jiang Liyue and cuddled for a while before asking her if she wanted to go somewhere interesting.
Jiang Liyue blinked: "Where?"
“It’s the library of Terence Castle,” Herlo quickly said. “It has a huge library.”
He knew she liked to read when she had free time, and that the places she frequented most, besides the rose garden, were the library.
Sure enough, Jiang Liyue became interested when she heard that there was such a place. In her original world, besides filming, she did most of her time reading books.
Because she is often photographed by fans carrying books, she has been described by marketing accounts as a goddess who loves learning and is a lifelong learner.
After all, she was indeed a top student before entering the entertainment industry, and she was admitted to a top university with high scores.
Then, in an interview, when fans asked her to recommend books, Jiang Liyue directly recommended some classic romance novels, which surprised her fans.
What's wrong with her liking to read romance novels? Is that something shameful?
Surprisingly, after being shocked, the fans not only didn't unfollow her, but actually gained even more fans because of her interview.
However, Jiang Liyue doesn't just read romance novels; she reads all kinds of books, a very diverse range, only reading what interests her at a certain time.
At the time of the interview, she was simply engrossed in romance novels.
However, Jiang Liyue's love of reading continued into the dungeons, and she spent her free time browsing through various things in several dungeons.
Jiang Liyue has now deduced that the owner of Terence Castle is a vampire. A vampire with a long lifespan must have collected a lot of interesting books, right?
When Jiang Liyue was taken to the library by Herlo, she became even more convinced of this.
The library inside Terence Castle is extremely large, seemingly several stories high, comparable to a real-life library, containing a vast collection of books, somewhat like a scene from a fairy tale.
In the corner, there was an elegant tea table and two brown, exceptionally comfortable-looking single sofas, with desserts and drinks laid out on the table, clearly prepared in advance.
"Did you prepare this especially for me?" Jiang Liyue's eyes sparkled.
Herlo: "That's right."
Jiang Liyue's eyes lit up even more, and she quickly kissed him on the cheek: "Thank you, Herlo, I really like your arrangements."
"So this is a reward?" Herlo covered her cheek as if she were dumbfounded, her ear tips turning red.
Jiang Liyue's eyes crinkled mischievously: "That's right."
Herlo was even more glad that he hadn't told Jiang Liyue the truth.
And so, she knew nothing but him, and when they were alone together, it was always just the two of them…
“Yueyue, the castle is busy with the ball these days and we can’t leave. How about I take you out to play in a couple of days?” A thought suddenly came to Herlo’s mind.
He wanted to take her away from Terence Castle. As long as they left, Yueyue wouldn't be discovered by that guy Hermer.
Let Hermer go mad while guarding an empty shell.
Herlo thought about it more and more and felt that his idea was reliable. He wished he could take Jiang Liyue away right now, but unfortunately he couldn't for the next few days.
"Leave?" This was the first time Jiang Liyue had ever heard a scoundrel say he wanted to take her away from her in all her previous experiences.
After all, the castle area is part of the instance area, and her boyfriend, as the leader of this area, naturally wants to keep her within his territory.
So when Jiang Liyue heard Herlo's words, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
“Yes, let’s leave here together.” Herlo looked excited, but when he saw Jiang Liyue’s confused expression, he pouted and began to plead pitifully.
"Yueyue, I haven't told you my identity yet."
Jiang Liyue raised an eyebrow. She had originally planned to ask Herlo this question anyway, since he seemed to have a lot of power in Terence Castle.
However, judging from his slanderous words about the Duke, his relationship with the Duke was not good.
“Yueyue, actually I am the Duke’s younger brother. We originally shared this castle, but he took advantage of being the elder brother, first seizing the Duke’s title, then occupying the entire castle, while I, outsiders don’t even know I exist…”
“He suppressed and bullied me at every turn. I was forced to become his substitute and help him with things when he was inconvenient. But I’ve had enough of this kind of life.”
"So, after the ball, let's leave here together, okay?"
Jiang Liyue: ...
Although Herlo spoke with genuine emotion, he deliberately used his deep eyes to feign sadness in order to increase credibility.
But how could such a performance escape Jiang Liyue's eyes?
You acted very well, but don't do it again next time.
Even if Jiang Liyue didn't see the acting in his expression, she wasn't stupid; she knew her boyfriend all too well.
Although his identity and personality differ in each world, they are not fundamentally different.
He is powerful, forceful, domineering, and obsessive.
It is the most terrifying monster in every dungeon.
It's simply unbelievable that someone like him could be oppressed as he described, and even forced to flee this place.
Perhaps the only thing that is true is that the Duke is his brother.
Jiang Liyue made a rational judgment in her mind.
However, Jiang Liyue remained calm and replied, "Of course, as long as you are willing to take me away."
As Herlo showed a look of surprise, she changed the subject again: "But so the Duke is your brother. Don't you two look a lot alike? Why did you say he was ugly before? Besides, the Duke is still your brother. If we are leaving, shouldn't we say goodbye to him no matter what?"
"No way!" Herlo refused without even thinking.
If that black-hearted Hermer really sees Yueyue, they'll have no chance of escaping!
They are twin vampires, the same soul split in two.
Not only do they look alike, but they also have identical strengths, each possessing half the power of the other.
So if the two of them were to fight, they would never be able to determine a winner, and in the end, they would only die as the curse says, resulting in mutual destruction.
Herlo used to be fearless of death. Endless life was boring to him; living was good, but dying was fine too.
But after he got Jiang Liyue, he didn't want to die anymore.
As long as I'm alive, I can smell Yueyue's fragrance, and that's enough to make it my only pursuit to survive.
Therefore, it's impossible for them to die together. If they both died, how many more dark and scumbags would covet Yueyue?
Herlo would never allow it.
Therefore, it would be best for them to leave secretly.
After Herloh finished speaking, he noticed Jiang Liyue's suspicious expression and quickly explained, "My brother has always wanted to torment me, so if he knew I wanted to leave, he would absolutely not allow it."
Herlo spoke with heartfelt sincerity, his deep and captivating eyes looking at Jiang Liyue with utmost honesty.
It was as if Hermes, whom he described, was truly an utterly wicked villain.
"He just wanted to watch me suffer."
Jiang Liyue blinked and slowly replied, "Really? Then he really is very bad."
Having gained Jiang Liyue's approval, Herlo was extremely pleased and continued to slander her relentlessly: "That's right, he's a big bastard."
Hermer is a complete bastard!
"So Yueyue, please don't meet with him. Let's sneak away, okay?"
Herlo looked at Jiang Liyue expectantly, like a puppy wagging its tail frantically, chasing away other puppies, wanting only for its owner to pat its head.
"Besides, he doesn't look like me at all. He's so ugly. If Yueyue saw him, she would be scared."
Herlo added that this was solely to increase Jiang Liyue's bargaining power for him to leave.
Jiang Liyue could only draw one conclusion from his repeated slanders.
Herlod seemed genuinely reluctant to see her meet the Duke.
Why?
At this moment, the Duke, who looked "not at all" like Herlo, walked out of the room with a face exactly like his.
His indifferent gaze drifted lightly to the butler beside him: "Where is he?"
