Chapter 275 You Are My Future Wife
Thanks to Hermer's tacit approval or even indulgence, almost everyone knew that Terence Castle was about to welcome its Duchess.
And that duchess, I heard, was actually a beautiful and lovely human girl.
The Duke, who has always despised humans, doesn't even have a single blood servant, and refuses to drink human blood, is actually going to marry a human girl.
This news shocked the entire vampire world.
Not only did the vampires find out, but even Herlo, who was still playing around with the rebellious vampires, heard about it.
He looked at the butler beside him: "Xi Lan, what's going on? My brother has only been back for a few days, how come he's suddenly getting a wife?"
The butler who had been sent to assist Herlo since the day Hermer returned to the castle was also completely bewildered: He didn't know anything about it.
What duchess? Who is she?
But speaking of human girls, surely it can't be one of the girls who were sent to Terence Castle last time?
Almost instantly, a beautiful face appeared in the butler's mind. Was it Luna?
If it really is her, it's so pitiful that the Duke has fallen for her TT
Herlo's face, which was exactly like Hermer's, now held a hint of amusement.
He looked at the useless people hiding in the shadows, trying to escape. The cat-and-mouse game that he had initially found somewhat interesting had become boring.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the rats hiding in the darkness died instantly in agony before they even had a chance to react to what was happening.
After finishing all that, Herlo turned to the butler beside him and said, "I'll leave the rest to you, Xilan."
As he spoke, he looked into the distance, a smile playing on his lips with interest: "I have to go see what the human girl Hermer likes looks like."
"Isn't that interesting?"
As the butler watched his departing figure, a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.
Why does he think these two will fight over a wife?
He quickly shook his head; it must be his imagination.
Herlo, that troublemaker, hasn't even met the future duchess yet, how could he possibly compete with Hermer for her?
That's impossible... right?
The more the housekeeper thought about it, the more uncertain he became.
In fact, even after becoming the future Duchess, Jiang Liyue didn't feel that her life had changed much in the past two days.
Aside from the occasional instance where other servants showed her more respect, her daily routine remained largely the same.
What she's actually more curious about now is where Herlo went.
She has been traveling back a hundred years to now, almost a month, but she hasn't even seen a trace of Herlo.
Jiang Liyue guessed that he was probably not in the castle, but she didn't know what would happen after he returned.
I have a feeling that someone is going to cause trouble.
However, Herlo had not returned yet, so all her worries were in vain. Jiang Liyue quickly stopped thinking about it and went back to the garden to cut flowers.
Knowing that she loved roses, Hermer had a large rose garden planted.
However, these roses have only just been planted and are far from the magnificent sight of them all blooming together a hundred years from now.
However, since the roses already had many buds when they were transplanted, they are now blooming sporadically.
Jiang Liyue planned to take a walk around to see if she could pick a few branches to put in her room.
It was already late by then. Fortunately, Hermer seemed to have some business to attend to at the castle today and would not be back until tomorrow morning. He had already informed her in advance.
Otherwise, if she were still outside at this hour, Hermer would probably come and drag her back.
Since she was officially recognized, Hermer's possessiveness towards her has become stronger. He not only pesters her for kisses every day, but also forbids her from running around.
There are already faint signs of it becoming abnormal in the future.
This made Jiang Liyue deeply suspicious that he was a pervert from the start, and that he wasn't forced to come out after waiting for a hundred years.
Jiang Liyue carefully picked a large bunch of red roses before finally carrying them home.
By this time, it was already dark, and the castle was exceptionally quiet.
Most of the time, the castle is quiet, and each servant is like a ghost living inside, with a very low profile.
Jiang Liyue was alone in her room today, without Hermès by her side. She would occasionally look down and smell the flowers in her arms, appearing quite relaxed.
As soon as she entered her room and closed the door, the intense feeling of being watched by a burning gaze surged up within her.
Could it be that Hermer returned ahead of schedule?
Jiang Liyue looked up at the source of the gaze, which was in front of the window in the room. Since there was no candlelight, there was only a shadow there.
The windows were wide open, and the curtains fluttered in the night breeze.
Jiang Liyue felt a bit cold; after all, it was getting late at night, and the cool breeze would make the temperature drop slightly.
She held the flowers in one hand, preparing to close the window.
She slowly walked to the windowsill and stretched out her slender, fair hand.
Before her fingertips even touched the window, a large, bony hand reached out from the darkness to the side and grasped her wrist.
Immediately, Jiang Liyue felt herself being pulled into an embrace. She looked up and met a pair of teasing eyes.
"Look what I see, a beautiful baby."
He lowered his head slightly, bringing his nose close to Jiang Liyue's cheek, as if he were smelling the fragrance emanating from beneath her skin.
Jiang Liyue glared at him: "Hermes, why did you suddenly scare me!"
The man in front of her, who looked exactly like Hermer, curled the corners of his mouth slightly: "Baby, I think you must have mistaken me for someone else."
"What?" Jiang Liyue looked at him in confusion.
The man stared at her without blinking: "Allow me to introduce myself. Nice to meet you. I am Herlo."
“Herlo?” Jiang Liyue repeated his name. “What is your relationship with Hermo?”
“Brotherly relationship.” Herlo paused, a little annoyed. “I knew that bastard Hermer wouldn’t introduce me to my darling, but it’s okay, we still know each other, don’t we?”
"Alright, let's not talk about that jerk for now. He's annoying, isn't he, honey?" Herlo was just like he was a hundred years later, still sparing no effort to smear Hermer.
Jiang Liyue didn't answer him. Instead, she shifted her wrist uncomfortably as he held it: "Um, Herlo, could you let go of me first?"
“That won’t do.” Herlo, with the same face as Hermo, adopted a nonchalant attitude that Hermo would never have, and curled the corners of his mouth. “You are a treasure I’ve caught, and I won’t let you go easily.”
"Baby, what's your name?"
Jiang Liyue didn't want to pay attention to him, but the next moment his face came even closer, as if he wanted to kiss her directly: "Don't you want to tell me?"
"Stay away from me." Jiang Liyue pushed him, but couldn't budge him.
Herlo was a little unhappy: "Baby, why do you keep rejecting me? You are my future wife."
Jiang Liyue: "? When did I become your future wife? We just met."
Herlo, however, was remarkably self-assured: "They all say you're the future Duchess, but didn't that bastard Hermer tell you? I'm also the Duke of Terence Castle."
"Therefore, you are of course my future wife."
