Chapter 266 A Kind and Delicate Human Girl
Jiang Liyue didn't feel bored being alone in her room.
Hermer must have been prepared; he had filled his room with books, clothes, and jewelry, just like Herlo.
So even if she just changes clothes and mixes and matches for fun, she can pass a lot of time.
Not to mention you can also read books or do other things.
Jiang Liyue has long since developed the ability to entertain herself after playing so many different games.
However, she was also a little curious whether anything unexpected would happen at tonight's ball.
Unfortunately, perhaps the soundproofing in the rooms of the castle was too good, because she couldn't hear a sound at all.
The Duchess still did not appear at today's ball, but to everyone's surprise, the Duke, who had been absent until now, showed up before the ball began.
Therefore, everyone saw the incredibly handsome Duke.
The girls were so engrossed in their thoughts that they didn't even notice that the Duke already had a beloved wife.
So what if they have wives? If they become the mistresses of such handsome men, they won't lose out at all.
Unfortunately, after making a few simple remarks, the Duke stood coldly to the side, not giving any woman a chance to approach him.
They couldn't help but envy the Duchess who had never appeared; she was undoubtedly the happiest woman in the world.
So the girls who weren't chosen went one by one into the dance floor with the other men, and elegant music began to play.
Ambiguity arose on the dance floor.
Mrs. Lisa was searching for Jiang Liyue's whereabouts and felt a little regretful that she hadn't seen her yet.
Where did that girl go at such an important moment! She believed that with Jiang Liyue's beauty, even the Duke, who was deeply in love with the Duchess, could be easily won over.
But Jiang Liyue wasn't there.
What a waste of an opportunity!
Who knows if His Excellency the Duke will show up tomorrow night?
Mrs. Lisa was extremely anxious.
It was at this moment that the originally elegant melody suddenly changed, the rhythm quickened, and it became eerie and distorted.
The lights in the hall began to flicker, and a scream made the atmosphere even more panicked.
This is a feast for the predators.
In the darkness, Fernan bit through the blood vessel of the girl in front of him, revealing a gleeful smile, unaware that he had also become one of the hunted.
Blood and death are the themes tonight.
Jiang Liyue thought she heard a scream, so she stood up and tried to get closer to the door.
It wasn't her imagination; she could hear the sounds of people frantically fleeing outside the door.
Jiang Liyue blinked and took out a key-shaped prop from her spatial storage.
This is an item she bought at a high price in the game store; it's called the Universal Key, and its function is to open all sorts of doors.
This is also the lesson Jiang Liyue learned from so many dungeons—not every door is one she can kick open at will.
Fortunately, the master key worked quite well, and Jiang Liyue quickly opened the door.
She didn't see anyone in the long corridor, but she did see a long trail of dripping blood on the ground.
Jiang Liyue, being powerful, wasn't worried about any problems. Following the trail of blood, she found a pale-faced man lying on the ground in a dark corner.
The man sensed someone was there and raised his eyes warily, his gaze filled with murderous intent.
When he noticed that the person who came was actually a human girl who looked fragile, the murderous intent in his eyes faded.
There's no threat.
Jiang Liyue seemed like an innocent and naive lamb, harmless and without any aggression.
This caused the man to abandon his worries without even thinking.
She did seem naive and innocent, possessing only pure kindness: "Hello sir, you don't look well. Is there anything I can help you with?"
She was indeed an innocent and kind girl, the man confirmed in his heart.
"Didn't you go to the ball?" the man asked weakly, sitting on the floor and leaning against the wall.
Jiang Liyue shook her head: "No, I wasn't feeling well today, so I stayed in my room. Did something happen at the ball?"
“Yes, yes, the host of the ball, the Duke of Terence Castle, is actually a monster.” The man’s injuries were clearly not good, and he took a few difficult breaths before saying, “He tried to sacrifice us to the demon in order to gain power. I barely managed to escape, and I was injured like this.”
People in the medieval era did indeed believe in the existence of demons; even Madame Lisa's jewelry included silver crosses.
Therefore, Jiang Liyue believed him without a doubt. She stared wide-eyed in horror: "How, how could this be? What should we do now?"
"I... I'm already so badly injured, and the Duke's men are still hunting me down. I'm afraid... I'm afraid I can't escape..." The man looked at Jiang Liyue expectantly, "I know a safe place. Can you take me there?"
"Where?" Jiang Liyue blinked.
“The Rose Garden,” the man said immediately. “The Duchess loves the Rose Garden the most, so no one else is allowed to enter. Perhaps we can hide there for a while.”
Jiang Liyue noticed that the man kept one hand clenched tightly while he was speaking, as if he was holding something of utmost importance in it.
She blinked: "But, but how can I go with you? I'm not very strong."
"It's alright, come closer. I still have some strength. You just need to support me a little." The man gave a pale but friendly smile.
Jiang Liyue listened to his words and moved a little closer, still somewhat bewildered.
The man stared at her fair neck and said softly, "Could you come a little closer? My hand can't reach you yet."
His eyes had turned red from an angle that Jiang Liyue couldn't see, and his two sharp teeth were poised to bar.
Of course he was lying to Jiang Liyue; he didn't need her help, and the two of them would attract too much attention.
However, he was seriously injured and needed to drink blood to restore his strength. Just then, this innocent and naive human girl appeared in front of him.
The other woman was undoubtedly very beautiful. Under normal circumstances, a man might be willing to have a romantic relationship with her and slowly draw out her sweet-smelling blood in the midst of ultimate pleasure.
Even more so, he was willing to turn her into a vampire as well, so that the two could become partners and stay together for a long time.
Unfortunately, the current situation does not allow it; he needs a large amount of blood, so he can only apologize to the beautiful human girl before him.
He thought he would remember her forever.
Thinking this, as Jiang Liyue drew closer, the man opened his mouth and bit her fair neck...
I didn't get bitten.
The man felt a sharp pain explode on his face as his teeth were forcibly broken out.
The kind, lovely, and fragile human girl in his eyes was holding one of his sharp fangs with great interest.
With a sweet smile on her face: "Huh, are these vampire teeth?"
