Chapter 395 There's No Way to Escape
London, the capital of the Kingdom of Great Britain, has cool summers and cold winters, and is damp and rainy all year round.
This kind of weather is a favorite of vampires.
Outside London, there is a castle covering nearly ten hectares. Various exquisite towers and walls combine to form a whole light gray building complex, with towers over thirty meters high that can be seen from afar.
Most people stop when they see the tall towers, so the area around Windsor Castle, which occupies less than ten hectares, is spacious and quiet.
Windsor Castle is divided into three areas. The top area is the private residence of Prince Isabella, the middle area is a stone round tower surrounded by a large garden, and it is also the most eye-catching building.
The lower area is the gateway to Windsor Castle. After entering, there are two large halls, all built of light gray stone, somewhat similar to the temples of the Holy Temple. It is ironic, as the vampires hate the light of the Holy Temple the most.
But once inside the main hall, it was completely different from the temple in the sanctuary.
It was dark and cold, but not very damp, with only a few beams of sunlight shining obliquely into the entire hall.
This little bit of sunlight is only available after the prince recently ordered the temple to be renovated.
A beam of the brightest light shone down on the high throne deep within the hall, leaving the steward, Oakes, both bewildered and awestruck.
Which vampire would willingly spend all their time in the sunlight? Is this a sign of contempt for the Temple? ...Yes, His Highness is indeed expressing contempt for that so-called "light."
Isabel toyed with a beam of dazzling sunlight in her palm, causing its projection to transform into various ever-changing shapes on the ground before her throne.
She seemed to have found a toy she could play with endlessly, and with a slight upturn of her lips, she was having a great time.
"Selim, how is your prince? You seem to have arrived a little early this year?"
"Your Highness, His Highness Dracula has sent you an early birthday gift. He wishes you good health and eternal youth and beauty."
The powerful vampire named Serium quickly bowed his head to greet Isabella. He dared not stare at Isabella for too long, but he could clearly sense the difference in this terrifying female vampire.
Sunlight is the thing vampires hate the most. Ordinary vampires don't want to go out during the day, and powerful vampires will cover their bodies with clothes. Even powerful vampire princes have to expend their own blood energy to resist the light. But this one in front of us seems to... like sunlight?
"Doesn't she have some hidden injuries? Why would she needlessly waste her vital energy?"
Although Serium was a vampire of duke rank, he dared not use his senses to probe Isabel's physical condition, knowing that the "Windsor Rose" was most sensitive about having her hidden injuries mentioned.
The consequences will be very serious!
"Oh! What gift did Dracula send me?"
Serium quickly opened the large, flat box behind him, revealing a glass mirror that was as tall as a person.
The frame is clearly a masterpiece by the vampires, with the dark gold rose pattern having a very prominent three-dimensional effect, so vivid that it seems to have come to life.
The mirror was even more amazing; even in the dimly lit hall, Isabel's stunning beauty was clearly reflected.
Isabelle's eyes lit up, and with a wave of her hand, Oakes immediately moved the mirror closer to her. She admired it for a full quarter of an hour before nodding in satisfaction.
"Hmm! This year's gift is really nice. I'll tell Dracula that I'll pay him a visit in a few days!"
Serium stared blankly, and after a long while, he managed a forced smile and said, "Prince Dracula has been very busy lately... Oh!... He's researching the secrets of this mirror... He's not home!"
While racking his brains for a reason, Selim thought to himself, "In previous years, if you weren't satisfied with your birthday presents, you'd go and fight with my prince. He even sent over a mirror that he himself was reluctant to use, just hoping you'd keep quiet for a year! And look what happened..."
"Dracula is always researching these messy things, and after all these years his strength is still the same. What a waste of his bloodline talent!"
The bigwig of the vampire council was angrily berated by Isabel, who said he was utterly worthless. His loyal subordinate, Serium, dared not refute her at all, since his prince could never defeat this seemingly weak woman in front of him!
"But this mirror is really nice. Where did it come from?"
Serium quickly replied, "It was sent by children from the East. It's said to be a specialty from the territory of a prince in Great Xia!"
"Hmm? Great Xia? Interesting!" Isabel seemed to remember something, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"Alright, alright, I won't go see your prince this year. We'll talk about it at the Vampire Council next year!"
Seeing Isabel smile and wave at him, Serium breathed a sigh of relief, placed his right hand on his chest, bowed, and then took his leave!
The task is finally completed!
Isabel played with the sunlight in the mirror for a while, then asked casually, "How's that little guy doing now?"
Oakes quickly replied, "Her Highness Qin Mo had been staying at her home in the Vaughan district of Rome, but left for a while a few days ago and then returned home, however..."
"But so what?" Isabel waved her hand gently, moving the large mirror in front of her to a corner.
“According to our friends at the Temple, Princess Heatherine has been getting very close to him recently, and she wasn’t at the Temple during the days he was away.”
"Isn't she supposed to be teaching a new generation of saintesses? How can she still have the time to go looking for men?"
Oakes did not respond to Isabel's sarcasm. The scene at Riga Fortress still haunted him, and the dazzling, scorching light would be his nightmare for a long time to come.
