Benedict crawled on the ground, his body trembling as he kissed Quintina’s shoe.
“Respected Lady Quintina, Benedict wishes to be your eternal servant!”
He was already terrified.
The powerful Marquis Cecil had been completely annihilated.
And Quintina was about to become a strong member of the Blood Clan who would soon step into the rank of marquis.
These upheavals scared Benedict out of his wits, fearing that Quintina might kill him.
Quintina spoke indifferently, “Rise, my servant. As long as you serve well, I will grant you eternal life!”
Benedict’s face lit up with ecstatic gratitude as he said, “Yes! Honorable Lady Quintina!”
Benedict withdrew.
Quintina took a deep breath and then walked respectfully towards the room where Xue An was staying.
“Master!”
Quintina’s call roused Xue An from the game he was playing with An Yan.
“What is it?”
Quintina bit her lip, “It’s about the Blood Clan!”
“Oh! Wait a moment; let me finish this round!” With that, Xue An neatly lost to An Yan and then got up and left the room.
“What is it?”
“Master, the Cecil Family has been destroyed. The Alldington Family’s Duke will definitely investigate this matter. I think we’d better lay low for a while?”
“The Alldington Duke?” Xue An felt the name seemed familiar.
“Yes! The oldest family among the Blood Clans of country Y, lofty and oppressive towards other families,” Quintina said through clenched teeth.
Xue An became interested, “So, you’re saying that we can condense another Duke’s Blood Bead?”
Quintina was startled, then understood Xue An’s intention and couldn’t help but feel a mix of laughter and tears.
She had come to share her worries with her master; after all, Alldington had been renowned for a thousand years, extremely powerful, and not someone the likes of Marquis Cecil could compare with.
Yet Xue An’s focus was entirely on the Blood Pearl.
“But, Master…” Quintina still wanted to persuade.
Xue An waved his hand, excitedly saying, “There’s no ‘but’. If he is a Grand Duke, then let’s hurry up and extinguish him!”
Quintina was somewhat dumbfounded.
At that moment, Benedict, anxious and uneasy, walked in and handed a piece of parchment to Quintina.
“Lady Quintina, we just received this letter!”
Quintina looked down at it for a moment and then smiled bitterly.
“Master, we don’t have to look for them anymore. The Alldington Family has already sent a letter, asking me to attend a meeting at the Odin Family Castle tomorrow!”
“Then let’s go!” Xue An said with a smile.
Then he squatted down and said to Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian, “Xiang Xiang, Nian Nian, would you like Daddy to take you to see a castle tomorrow?”
“Yes! Yes! Are there princesses in the castle?” Xue Xiang asked excitedly.
“There are no princesses, but there are lots of naughty bats. How about I chase them all away for you?” Xue An said with a smile.
“Yes!” Xue Xiang and Xue Nian said in unison.
Then Xue Xiang added, “Daddy, I’ll help you fight the baddies with a frying pan!”
“Me too!” Xue Nian quickly chimed in.
Xue An nodded, “Alright, we’ll fight together, okay?”
Quintina listened on the side, completely baffled.
What did they mean by helping to fight with a frying pan?
Could it be that these small children could really defeat the Blood Clan powerhouses?
Stop kidding! How could that be possible?
And just at that moment.
Ding Guang and Ding Ran, brother and sister, along with their teammates, arrived at a small town.
Outside the small town lay the scenic hills.
Odin Castle, like a shining pearl, was nestled halfway up the mountain.
“What a magnificent building!” Ding Ran couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Hey, do you think there might really be vampires inside the castle?” a girl in the team asked with a trembling voice.
Upon hearing this, Ding Ran scoffed, “We are all well-educated people; how can we still believe such groundless talk? There are no vampires in this world; it’s just nonsensical blather from a bunch of people who’ve never seen the world.”
“But I’ve heard this castle is really spooky!” the girl said somewhat fearfully.
“Yeah! Maybe we should pick another place. The professor said our thesis is just to survey the maintenance of European castles; we don’t need to inspect it in person!” someone else also advised.
The reason they came to Europe was to collaboratively complete a thesis on the conservation of European castles.
However, Ding Ran shook his head and sneered, “I don’t believe in those messy rumors. Let’s go climbing in a while; I want to see what a vampire looks like!”
With that, Ding Ran headed toward the mountain.
She took the lead, and the others had no choice but to follow behind.
Soon, they arrived in front of the castle midway up the mountain.
Only when they got closer did they fully appreciate the grandeur of the castle.
At the same time, there was a faint smell of blood in the air, making them feel somewhat sick.
“Ran Ran, let’s just go!” Ding Guang felt somewhat scared inside.
“Yeah!”
Amidst everyone’s persuasions, Ding Ran stubbornly said in a cold voice, “A bunch of cowards; what is there to be afraid of? I want to see what this castle is really like.”
Saying this, Ding Ran stepped forward to knock on the door.
But the door creaked open.
Then, a white-haired butler with an elegant demeanor walked out and smiled at Ding Ran and the others.
“My master has instructed me to welcome your arrival!”
The master?
Ding Ran and the others were all stunned.
The butler chuckled softly, “Come in and you will see,” he said, stepping aside.
Ding Ran’s heart settled, and she smiled back at the people behind her, “I told you, how could there be such an absurd existence as the Blood Clan? Clearly, a gentleman lives here! Look, he’s even inviting us in for a visit!”
With that, Ding Ran confidently walked in.
Though Ding Guang and the others felt something was off, seeing Ding Ran enter, they had no choice but to follow.
Once inside, Ding Ran and the others were completely amazed.
The interior of the castle was lavishly decorated.
And there were all kinds of rare antiques to be seen everywhere.
As they were enthusiastically examining their surroundings,
Alldington gracefully descended the staircase with a smile, “Welcome to the tour; I am the master of this castle!”
Ding Ran and the others were overwhelmed by Alldington’s elegance and imposing presence and promptly bowed in return.
That dispelled any remaining doubts they had.
After all, how could such a gentleman be a bad person?
After they had finished their tour, Alldington considerately invited them for afternoon tea in the dining room.
This relaxing noble atmosphere enchanted Ding Ran and the others.
Alldington, however, smiled more and more contentedly.
Every year, there would be tourists who came to visit, ignorant of their fate.
Their fates typically ended with Alldington turning them into human specimens and permanently storing them in the basement.
These people were no exception.
Especially this girl, with such smooth skin, she would be very beautiful as a doll.
Alldington thought to himself.
