Chapter 268 A Hundred Years Ago
"Remember this: as long as you please the Duke and become his exclusive blood servants, your families will prosper for the rest of your lives."
Hearing a man's voice carrying a hidden warning, Jiang Liyue slowly opened her eyes.
She was sitting in a swaying carriage, surrounded by several beautiful girls she didn't recognize, and speaking to a very thin, fair-skinned middle-aged man.
If it weren't for the familiar Terence Castle outside the carriage, Jiang Liyue would have almost thought she had transmigrated again, or been thrown into a new instance.
But no, she was still in front of Terence Castle, though it looked a bit newer than before.
Jiang Liyue had a guess in her mind.
The man gave a few more warnings before getting off the carriage. Jiang Liyue looked at the expectant girls and innocently asked them for information.
She is sweet and cute, and it's easy for her to win people's favor.
Unfortunately, several girls looked at her warily and refused to speak. Fortunately, one girl who seemed gentle couldn't bear to see her run into trouble and started chatting with her.
Jiang Liyue was experienced, and these naive girls who looked to be only teenagers were not easily fooled by her probing.
Soon, she got the information she wanted to know.
Just as she had guessed, this was indeed a replica of Terence Castle from a hundred years ago.
However, unlike a hundred years later, people now know about the existence of vampires and accept their existence.
The delicate balance between humans and vampires is thanks to the Duke of Terence Castle.
It is said that the former duke of Terence Castle was a powerful female vampire, and she was the queen of the second generation of vampires.
She also decreed that all vampires must not harm humans at will, and that vampires may keep blood servants to provide them with blood.
Vampires are forbidden from killing their blood servants, and if a blood servant gains the favor of their master, their entire family will also receive preferential treatment.
Therefore, at this point in time, many humans are particularly willing to become vampires' blood servants.
Later, the second generation of vampires were all wiped out for offending the gods, including the Grand Duchess of Terence Castle. Now, the Duke of Terence Castle is the Grand Duchess's child.
It is said that the current Duke has possessed terrifyingly powerful strength since birth and never drinks blood.
Jiang Liyue, and the girls in this car, were all recruited by the Foxys family as gifts for the Duke.
Of course, the girls came voluntarily, after all, everyone knows that the Duke of Terence Castle is now the king of all vampires.
Rumor has it that he is handsome and possesses endless wealth.
Most importantly, he has no blood servants by his side!
In other words, if they are chosen by the Duke, they might become his first blood servants, which would make them unique individuals.
Not only their families, but they themselves will receive a great honor.
Of course, this is actually the fantasy of these naive girls, because although blood servants look glamorous, they cannot leave their masters, and vampires have absolute power. Do they really care about the life and death of humans?
On the surface, vampires don't kill their blood servants, but in reality, they kill countless blood servants when they lose control while drinking blood.
Therefore, families that truly love their children will not willingly allow their children to become blood servants.
Jiang Liyue's current body is named Luna. It doesn't resemble her original body at all. Instead, it's a beautiful blonde girl with blue eyes. It's probably a new body created for her by the game system.
In her own mind, she didn't want to be a blood servant, but her stepmother sent her here to contribute to the family and become a blood servant.
Jiang Liyue smiled as she looked at the girls in the carriage, their eyes filled with anticipation and determination as they gazed at the Terence Castle not far away.
Sorry, ladies, although you have lofty ambitions, but—
That's my boyfriend.
Traveling back a hundred years finally explains why she was the Duchess Hermer and Herloh had been waiting for for a century.
This encounter must have been what made them wait so long.
Jiang Liyue originally planned to go to Terence Castle to find them, but when she thought about how they had waited for a hundred years, she was tempted to just leave.
Anyway, they don't need to meet this time; they will still fall in love a hundred years later, so as not to make them wait so long.
You should cherish your own boyfriend.
But when Jiang Liyue had this thought, she suddenly felt dizzy.
The next moment, she appeared in the hall of Terence Castle, sitting awkwardly on the sofa with the girls from before.
Time seemed to fast forward to the moment they entered the castle!
After this experience, Jiang Liyue knew that history could not be changed, and the Duke of Terence Castle had to have a Duchess.
This is the setting for a scenario set a hundred years in the future, and it cannot be changed.
So her boyfriend had to endure the agony of waiting.
Dog game! Dog dungeon!
Jiang Liyue cursed inwardly, but quickly accepted reality.
She's never been one to let things fester inside. Since the past is what it is, she can only try to make up for it as much as possible during the time they spent together.
This is the only thing she can do right now.
Yes, they've waited so long for her boyfriend to appear, she definitely wants to give him a big hug.
Waaaaah, those two poor little ones.
Then, Jiang Liyue and several girls waited in the lobby for two whole hours... only to be greeted by a smiling butler.
"You must be the maids selected for the castle. I'll be assigning you tasks from now on."
Upon hearing this, the girl, who had been waiting for a long time, became restless: "No, butler, I think you've made a mistake. We are the Duke's blood servants."
The butler wore an impeccable smile: "I'm sorry, the Duke doesn't need blood servants. Terence Castle only needs working maids right now. If you're not willing, you can leave."
Having finally made it into Terence Castle, how could the girls possibly slink back like that?
They gritted their teeth and had no choice but to agree with the maid's statement.
It doesn't matter. As long as they can stay here and be seen by the Duke, they still have a chance.
While the girls were each lost in their own thoughts, Jiang Liyue spoke first in a sweet voice: "Mr. Butler, what kind of work do you do? And is there a salary? Are there monthly days off?"
Other girls: ? No, so you're actually here to apply for a job?
The housekeeper was particularly pleased with Jiang Liyue's attitude. For some reason, he felt an unusual sense of warmth whenever he saw the girl's smiling face.
Therefore, the butler described the working conditions in the castle in great detail, and finally arranged the easiest job for Jiang Liyue: tending the garden.
It's unlikely you'll encounter a capricious duke, the work is easy, you don't need to deal with too many people, and you have most of your time to yourself—it's practically the perfect job.
As for the other girls, some were assigned to the kitchen, while others could only do cleaning.
However, those who had a higher chance of encountering the Duke were clearly satisfied. Looking at Jiang Liyue, who was still grinning foolishly after being banished to the garden, they shook their heads inwardly.
What an idiot!
Jiang Liyue blinked, ignoring their gazes, and sweetly said to the butler, "Thank you, Mr. Butler!"
Having successfully stayed at Terence Castle, all she needs to do next is meet her boyfriend and have a romance with him.
Jiang Liyue has been cutting flowers in the garden for ten days and still hasn't met either Herlo or Hermer: ?
She picked a bunch of flowers, held them in her arms, and sighed softly.
I never imagined that the biggest obstacle to dating my boyfriend would be meeting them...
She can't keep dwelling on the past a hundred years indefinitely.
I wonder what happened to them when she traveled back a hundred years.
Jiang Liyue sighed softly, recalling the crazy look in their eyes before she transmigrated.
When she gets back, she's definitely going to be tortured...
I wonder what her current situation is. They must be very worried.
