"Now that everyone is here, please sit down!"
Ekado sat down in the main seat, and the four heavily armored knights following behind Rig also sat down.
Kelyat walked around to stand next to Ecardo, while Rig held Elsie and whispered a few words in Ecardo's ear.
Then he handed Elsie over to Alcado.
"Well, then I'll leave the curse to you." Ekado hugged Elsie, who was wearing a necklace around her neck.
The necklace contained the Blood Stone from before.
Elsie's teeth returned to normal, and she looked no different from an ordinary baby.
However, due to the characteristics of vampires, she possesses a unique charm.
[Bloodlust Pendant: An accessory crafted by the witch Rig, it accumulates the bloodlust of vampires, stacking up to 15 layers of "Bloodlust." Removing the accessory increases all attributes based on the number of stacks. (Perception +200, Constitution +10)]
"Looks alright! You've recovered from the fright?"
Get out! You're forced to come out and do business!
"Tsk tsk tsk, oh dear, I could laugh about this for the rest of my life." Elsie rarely showed a smile.
Are you really going to make me reveal that you put that thing on Rig's chest? ('-'*)
"It's like I'm the only one who can see you when you speak?" Elsie grinned mischievously. "Go ahead and yell! You can yell until you're hoarse and no one will know!"
[You motherfucker, where did you learn to be such a slut? -_-||]
"..."
Elsie was silent for a moment, and then...
"you guess?"
I won't guess!!!
The campaign to reject narration has achieved an initial victory!
...
"Looks like Elsie likes crowded places!" Ekado noticed Elsie's smile.
"Come on, let's get to know each other?"
Ekado picked up Elsie and pointed to a heavily armored knight on his right, saying, "This is Liedo Tiran, my grandfather's brother, and your great-uncle."
Ledo removed his helmet, revealing gray hair and an aged face. He reached out and flicked Elsie's cheek with his finger.
“These two are Boli Tilan and Boye Tilan, Allen’s younger brothers, and your two uncles.”
Boli and Boye took off their helmets, revealing gray hair and a youthful appearance.
“And this one!” Ecardo pointed to a heavily armored knight on the left.
The heavily armored knight hurriedly removed his helmet, revealing himself to be a young boy with blond hair and striking good looks.
“His name is Aze Tiran, and he’s your cousin.”
“Uncle,” Aize called out as he stood up, and then said to Elsie, “Hello, Elsie.”
Elsie extended her hand in greeting, though no one could see it.
Come look! Come look! There's another little person here. Oh dear, you've been ignored! (?w?)
"Good, good, you're cheering up again, aren't you?"
"That time you were terrified by the product description..."
【Hmph, say whatever you want, I'm immune! 乀(ˉeˉ乀)】
"Okay, okay, is this how you play it?"
That being said, after arguing with the narrator for so long, she's developed a bit of a bond with him. If the narrator suddenly stops talking one day, she'll probably feel disappointed.
So, are you infatuated with me? (￣～￣)
"Mind reading is prohibited!"
【I'm going to study! What can you do to me!? (?????)】
...
Ekado seemed to be talking to four heavily armored knights, while Rig and Kyryat had left the meeting room early.
During the conversation, she learned that they were four commanders under Alcardo, but there were actually only three.
Aize is the grandson of Ledo and a promising junior in the family. In just ten years, he became a heavy armor knight.
Liedo kept him by his side for two reasons: first, to use Aicardo's connections to stay away from the battlefield; and second, to have him learn martial arts from Aicardo.
“Alan went too far this time. Burning the pepper forest is indeed the best way to deal with the Sia family assassins, but what about the civilians there?” Liedo pointed to the family battlefield marked on the map.
“My ministers have calculated that this will severely damage our economy, and the auction rights for the South Sea Fleet will likely be given to the Dragon Fang family.”
“That is indeed a problem.” Ecardo stroked his beard. “But it’s alright. Who knows if there will be other dangers in the ocean? Let the Dragon Fang family take the lead first!”
“Then we must end the war with the Shia family as soon as possible, whether it’s victory or peace talks.” Liedo looked at Elsie and said, “At least don’t let Elsie never see her biological parents again.”
Aicardo shook his head and said, "By the way, has the matter of the Mangshan Giant Dragon been investigated?"
“Uncle,” Aize stood up and said, “I took the mercenary group to scout over there. The dragon is just a rumor, but there are indeed traces of flying dragons there, probably coming from the ancient road in the east.”
“That would be perfect,” Alcardo said with a smile. “I don’t want to deal with dragon stuff anymore.”
"Even dragons without magical potential are a great disaster for humans."
After discussing some matters within the city, Lydo mentioned Azer's Trials.
"Aize? He must be 18 years old this year?" Ekado looked Aize up and down.
“You’re 17 this year, Uncle,” Aize corrected.
"Alright, alright, I misremembered. Look at my senile old self." Aikado suddenly remembered something, looked at Elsie and then at Aize.
A sudden chill ran down Aize's spine; he sensed something terrible was about to happen.
“Aize, your cousin has great potential. Why don’t you let her join you in the trials?” Aicardo said with a smile.
"Okay, oh? She's only one year old, right?" Aize was so flustered that he stammered.
"Don't worry!" Ekado picked up Elsie and said, "She's not even a year old."
"No, Uncle? How can we take her on the trial?" Aize's face twisted in shock, his entire face filled with question marks.
“You practice, she’ll watch.” Ekado pointed to Aize and Elsie.
Aize: "Uncle, are you just naive...?"
...
Location: Manor (Sword Training Ground)
"...I simply don't want to take care of her." Aize: "(°ー°〃)"
Aize stood on the battlefield, while Elsie was being held by her maid, Firi, on a chair beside her.
He felt helpless and under increasing pressure.
"What's wrong, Your Highness Aize?" Kelyat walked onto the battlefield wiping his mithril longsword with a rag and teased, "You don't want to fall flat on your face in front of your cousin, do you?"
Aize sighed, shook the longsword in his hand which felt as light as a feather, and said weakly, "Uncle, is there something wrong with the heavy-armored knight's swordsmanship training?"
In his memory, the most powerful profession of the Tilan family was heavy armor knight. Tilan himself fought against thousands of enemies on the battlefield while wearing heavy armor when he defeated the Demon King!
As a rising star in the family, Aize completed the basic knight training under his father's tutelage from a young age.
With sufficient nutrition during their growth period, they quickly surpassed their peers in physical fitness.
With the help of some special accessories, he quickly completed the job change assessment and became one of the younger heavy armor knights in the Tilan family.
Of course, she's not the youngest. As a family of heroes, the hero's daughter in the family tree completed the heavy armor knight assessment at the young age of 12.
Unfortunately, he was too arrogant and died in a knightly duel.
"What if one day you don't have time to put on your heavy armor?" Kyryat threw down the rag and brandished his longsword, saying, "Come on!"
"Pretend I'm the one assassinating you now. You can try running over and putting on heavy armor, but then I won't show any mercy!"
