Despite all the coercion and enticement, Little Orange still couldn't say exactly what kind of person he was, only that he was a male vampire who was very kind to humans like them who had been persecuted by vampires.
Even the 'Nightmare Crescent' was given to Little Orange by that male vampire. He told Little Orange to wait here, and that the saintess would come soon to give her the cross.
The Holy Maiden of Light can kill all vampires.
"So, your illness is because you failed to transform into a blood servant, right?"
Maggie's expression was complicated. She should have guessed it long ago. Didn't she already see the blood servant puppets that had lost their minds and humanity in the laboratory of the Green Tower?
However, she underestimated the evil of vampires, who didn't even spare young children like Little Orange.
Humans who are too young cannot withstand the power of vampire transformation and will become neither human nor monster, like Little Orange now, whose body is highly decayed and incurable.
"...Yes, thank you for wanting to save me, but I've already given up on living."
Perhaps because they had talked things out, Little Orange had nothing to hold onto. She spoke softly to Maggie, as if she were both grateful and pleading.
"If you can, please don't hurt him."
Upon hearing this, Maggie fell silent.
Not to mention that she didn't have a good impression of the so-called male vampire, and didn't know what his real purpose was, Maggie had no good impression of him at all just because he used children instead of showing himself.
Now that Little Orange is forbidding her from harming the vampire behind her, it's really putting her in a difficult position.
But looking into the little orange's weak but bright eyes in the darkness, Maggie still couldn't bring herself to say no.
"good."
Maggie pursed her lips and whispered.
She always keeps her promises, so if she sees that vampire, she shouldn't attack him first, but if he has any other ideas about her, then she can't be blamed.
Sometimes, dying is the better choice.
The temple has a variety of sophisticated and well-established torture methods for dealing with evil creatures, which virtually no vampire would like.
Little Orange, of course, had no idea what Maggie was thinking; she simply breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great, he's right, you really are a very kind person."
Maggie was both amused and exasperated by this remark. It seemed that the person behind Little Orange didn't know her true nature. But it didn't matter; in a child's eyes, she was probably a kind and gentle person.
There's no need to let children know the dark side of the world.
Although... Little Orange has probably seen a lot already.
"Since I've agreed to your request, you have to agree to mine. Starting today, you'd better treat my illness properly, and I'll take you back to the temple. The temple has many solutions."
Maggie certainly wouldn't give up on saving Little Orange, especially since a bottle of her healing potion wasn't cheap. If she just let Little Orange die like that, she would lose a lot of money.
As if she hadn't expected Maggie to still have her, Little Orange's body stiffened noticeably, and it took her a while to turn her head away, her tone awkward.
"No, no need. You know perfectly well that I can't be cured."
Logically speaking, a human like Xiao Ju Zi, who failed to even transform into a blood servant puppet, shouldn't live for very long. But because that vampire has been helping Xiao Ju Zi prolong her life, she has been able to live until now.
Little Orange volunteered to come to Santa Fe City to wait for Maggie; she didn't want to continue being a burden.
Once she delivers the cross, her mission is complete, and she can die in peace.
However, neither the vampire nor Maggie chose to abandon Little Orange.
"Don't you know who I am? How could there be anyone I can't cure?"
Maggie's words were a bit of an overstatement, but that didn't matter. Her current role was that of a doctor, and if even she lacked confidence, the patients would only become more anxious and uneasy.
She needed to be 200% determined to make Little Orange want to go with her.
As expected, Little Orange hesitated and remained silent for a long time. Her struggle could be faintly felt in the darkness, suggesting that she also wanted to live, but she didn't want to cause trouble for others or continue to be a burden.
Maggie didn't urge her, but waited quietly. Finally, in the darkness, Little Orange nodded and whispered.
"Okay, I believe you."
Little Orange reached out and placed her hand on Maggie's hand. The next second, Maggie gripped her hand tightly, as if worried that she would run away.
...
"Your Highness, you're just taking him back like that?"
Gloria was still anxiously waiting outside, worried that Maggie might encounter some danger if she entered this strange room alone, but she didn't expect that when Maggie came out, she would be holding a small body in her arms.
A small body, completely wrapped in black cloth, with not a trace of skin showing, yet even wrapped in cloth, one could sense how thin and frail the person inside was.
"Yes, I promised to cure her, and I can't go back on my word."
Maggie nodded. She had gone to great lengths to persuade Little Orange, and she could feel how tightly Little Orange was gripping her clothes; she was probably quite nervous.
So Maggie hugged her tightly again, giving her a sense of security.
The nun's mother, who was standing nearby, was also full of surprise when she saw this scene, but she quickly showed an excited and relieved expression, probably because she was also moved that little orange was able to be rescued.
"Well, Your Highness really is..."
Although Gloria did not object, there was a strange look in her expression.
She had heard all sorts of rumors in the temple before, saying that the newly appointed Holy Maiden liked to pick up people whenever she wanted, regardless of age or gender, and now it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Perhaps because she had waited a while, when Maggie walked out of the corridor, a group of children had already gathered outside, looking expectantly in the direction where Maggie was.
As soon as Maggie appeared, rows of little heads immediately popped up, eager to get a better look.
"I'm going to take Little Orange back to get her treated. I'm sure she'll be healthy when we meet again."
Maggie, of course, wouldn't let them down, and instead smiled and made a promise to the children.
"good!"
"Thank you, Holy Maiden Sister."
"Great! Little Orange is saved!"
All the children were very excited, which shows that Little Orange is very popular among them.
Even when she was suffering the pain of failed transformation and could only stay in a dark and sunless room, she was still able to make friends with so many children.
This is enough to show that she was originally a very kind, easy-going, and optimistic little girl, but unfortunately she encountered a disaster that shattered her hopes.
