What?!
Xiao Dai's holy shield froze, and Liu Lang, whose hearing was still good, twitched at the corner of his mouth.
Does the Noble Alliance have a secret deal with the vampires? Or is it an alliance?
But if that's the case, why would the vampires attack this place?
"The aura of so many demons..."
Princess Shiya trembled with fear, and Liu Lang had no choice but to pull the Ninth Princess behind Xiao Dai and Verania.
"Princess Verocia, don't you know magic? Why are you afraid?"
"But...but the Archmage only taught me for a year, and I only learned some auxiliary magic, as well as the life magic that the Archmage said was the most difficult to learn."
I...I don't know combat magic.
Trembling all over, Veroshia was taken back to the safe zone created by Xiao Dai by Liu Lang.
Hmm... This was said to the Ninth Princess, but in reality, the vampires were initially taken aback upon discovering Verania, and then left on their own.
Just as Villania said, it's absolutely safe with her here!
"Nia... what are you doing at the Noble Alliance?"
"Well...it's because of you, of course!"
While nobles, commoners, and demon hunters were engaged in a fierce battle outside, Verania, due to her succubus nature, kept trying to get close to Xiao Dai. Liu Lang, who had just calmed down the Ninth Princess, came out and saw this scene. Well, that's just how it is now.
Xiao Dai's face was as red as an apple, and it was even steaming!
"Hehe, my little Dai is the cutest!"
"Ahem, hold on, we'll talk about your business later!"
Just as Verania was about to bully Xiao Dai further, Liu Lang stepped in and interrupted them.
"Um, Verania, I'd like to ask, since the Noble Alliance and the Demon Race have a secret agreement, what about now?"
"Hmph!"
Verania puffed out her cheeks and remained silent, thinking, "You dared to interrupt me while I was getting intimate with my little Dai!"
"Nia, I want to know too!"
Fortunately, Xiao Dai did not give up thinking because of shyness, and immediately filled in Liu Lang's question.
"Well...actually, the vampires had an alliance with the noble alliance, but that was three years ago. I only found out about it after I came here."
The cause was a struggle between the nobles and the royal family, or more accurately, a struggle between Duke Udar of the noble alliance and Prince Amir of the royal family.
Ultimately, with the help of the vampires, Prince Amir was no match for the noble alliance and lost in the political struggle. Not long after, he mysteriously died in his own palace.
Even the members of the Noble Alliance believe that the vampires were responsible, but when I asked them, they did not admit it.
If they could actually watch Prince Amir die, they would definitely turn him into a vampire, which would add a significant fighting force to their ranks.
But in reality, they did not, and the vampires believed that the noble alliance was ruthless, preferring to fight among themselves and kill one side's leader in order to unify the voices of all humans.
Furthermore, due to the ongoing war between humans and demons, the vampires and the noble alliance severed ties afterward.
In exchange, the vampires will operate with impunity on royal territory, while the Noble Alliance will turn a blind eye and tacitly allow their existence.
However, this tacit acceptance has been broken in the past two years.
After all, the noble alliance had gradually consolidated the royal lands, preventing the vampires from continuing their rampage on their territories. There were even rumors that the nobles wanted to install a new emperor, claiming that the current ruler was immoral, which was why the war between humans and vampires had lasted for a century.
Previously, the deal was initiated by the human race and the vampire race. Now that the noble alliance has gone back on its word, the vampire race will naturally hate them. Duke Udar has even sent the Black Court Knights and the Shining Star Knights to suppress the demon race, thus establishing a strong reputation for this land.
Blood Spirit King's schemes were no match for those nobles, and he couldn't resort to desperate measures either. He could only think of giving these nobles a good beating on this grand day, to show them that this matter was far from over.
As for the Noble Alliance... they also want to end this farce, and to that end, they hope to nip the plan in the bud with the help of the Witcher.
However, this time it was the Blood Spirit King who took action personally, and the Demon Hunters didn't have any elders here, so it would be strange if they could find those vampires. The blood servants they captured before were just bait deliberately thrown out by them.
These noble alliance members reacted quickly, using the vampire invasion to win over a group of nobles who had previously been neutral. As for those royalist nobles... well, I wish them the same good luck as the commoners and witchers.
"
After Verania finished speaking, she smiled and squinted at the nobles in the distance who were still chanting the slogans of the Noble Alliance.
They used the vampire's surprise attack to win over hearts and minds and eliminate their rivals.
The Oath Knights, who should have been making their move, have remained inactive. They're a bunch of old foxes.
Xiao Dai and Liu Lang broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
These nobles seemed quite kind before, and Duke Udar also seemed wise and powerful. How come there are so many other faces behind the scenes?
You really can't judge a book by its cover...
Moreover, this is a power struggle between the nobility and the royal family. As outsiders, they have no way of judging who is right and who is wrong. In addition, the noble alliance is in the name of the empire, and the prince sent by the royal family died mysteriously.
There was no further reaction from the royal family, which is why the nobles finally united.
"Soon, Duke Udar will bring a group of nobles from the alliance into the capital. That's when the capital will really be lively."
Verania also thoughtfully included what she had heard in the Noble Alliance team.
However, Liu Lang and Xiao Dai didn't react much.
