Chapter 358
The door closed automatically, and there was no trace of life in it.
Laurion watched Victor enter, and looked at the door that closed automatically, without saying a word.
"Lord Laureen, why are you here?"
Suddenly, Aurelian's voice rang in his ears.
Laurion turned around and saw Aurelian and August coming over.
Aurelian looked left and right.
But there was no one standing at the door except Lord Laureen.
Isn't the teacher with Lord Laureen?
So she asked the earl:
"Earl Laurian, where is Teacher Victor?"
Earl Laurian's eyes were immersed in memories, and he slowly explained to Aurelian:
"While we were chatting, Mr. Victor suddenly told me that maybe he had a way to cure my wife's mania."
"He hopes to enter this room and take a look."
Aurelian was stunned and turned to look at the wooden sign hanging on the door. The warning sign had four big words on it:
[No Entry]
The scarlet warning was shocking under the moonlight.
Aurelian asked in disbelief:
"Teacher... went in?"
Earl Laurian nodded and continued:
"My wife is indeed crazy, but she is not completely out of control."
"Mr. Victor's ability is much higher than that of this old warrior. Princess, you don't have to worry."
Aurelian nodded.
She was not worried about Teacher Victor, but the unknown behind the door still frightened her.
It seemed a little weird.
At this time, August showed a gentle smile:
"Since Senator Clevenna has something to deal with, why don't we go down together first?"
Count Laurian hesitated for a moment, and his eyes fell on the closed door again.
Then he nodded:
"Well, that's good. Waiting here may not get any results."
"Your Majesty, Princess Aurelian, please."
He gentlemanly extended his arm and led the few people to leave together.
When they turned around and prepared to leave, Vanilla's cat ears suddenly trembled, as if she sensed something, and turned back suddenly.
A quiet black figure passed by her silently.
Although Vanilla was a little uneasy, she did not think deeply, but hurriedly followed Aurelian's footsteps and left together.
…
In the oppressive air, Victor went deeper and deeper into the dark room full of blood.
As he went deeper, the disgusting smell became stronger.
In the end, the pungent smell was even more pungent and rushed into his lungs.
Victor frowned, as if the smell made it difficult for him to breathe.
Feeling that he was almost there, a red flame burned out of thin air beside Victor.
The bright firelight slightly illuminated the entire room.
The horrifying scene was also revealed in front of him without any cover:
The room was scattered with broken arms and limbs, and bloody claw marks covered the walls.
The servants' scarlet clothes were torn into pieces and scattered all over the room, with long-dried blood on them.
It looked like someone had accidentally entered this room and was killed.
The surrounding furniture was all broken, and wood fragments were embedded in the floor and walls.
There were claw marks on the blood-stained wall, and I wonder if they were traces of despair left by the servants in their final struggle.
Apart from that, the whole room was too quiet.
It was hard to imagine that such a dirty and bloody room was hidden in this bright and beautiful mansion.
However, Victor was not affected at all and watched everything expressionlessly.
Even Vega yawned out of boredom, and then said:
"Sure enough, I said something was wrong."
"If it's just mania, how could it eat people?"
Suddenly, its voice paused, and its whole body stood stiffly on Victor's shoulder.
But the bird's head twisted back 180 degrees in a very strange way.
A deep and strange dark light emanated from the single eye, locking the nightmare-like monster in front of it firmly.
The moment he saw it, a voice that sounded like joy rang out from Vega's body:
"You said so."
The monster's eyes glowed with a residual red light, and its limbs seemed to be cruelly twisted, supporting the cold ground in a strange and bent posture.
Its body turned upside down like a broken soul, and walked on the ground like a dead leaf blown by the wind.
Only through the drifting white hair could one vaguely see that this monster once hadThere is a human figure.
When it saw Vega's flashing, malicious black eye, its body suddenly stopped as if it was frozen in time.
The deformed limbs began to tremble, as if it was terrified by seeing an existence that it feared more than itself.
The muscles twitched, as if it had forgotten even the instinct to escape.
"Blood race."
At this time, Victor slowly turned around, lowering his eyes and looking deeply at the creepy monster.
Vega seemed to have an indescribable tacit understanding with him, and his body also slowly turned to the monster.
Victor's eyes were like ice, and he said lightly:
"The hybrids of pure blood races and other races are called blood races."
"Blood races need blood to maintain life. If they don't get fresh blood for a long time, they will fall into madness. At this time, any life that appears in front of them will be torn and devoured by them."
"In fact, Earl Laurian knows everything and knows everything."
Victor waved his hand gently, and the flames around him flew into the sky like meteors, flickering on the ceiling.
Replacing the magic light bulb that would never light up again, it illuminated the whole room as bright as day.
"So the person who really died was not Earl Laurian's daughter."
When the light was on, a beam of blazing white light also enveloped the ghost in a black dress next to her.
That was the beautiful but pale Priss.
She put one hand tightly on her chest, and gently stroked her black clothes with the other hand. Her face was as white as snow, with great worry and fear.
Victor looked at her and pointed at the twisted monster whose face was exactly the same as Priss's:
"It's your human mother."
"Am I right, Priss?"
...
In the banquet hall, the gorgeous lights illuminated every corner.
The nobles held wine glasses and sat down one by one elegantly, talking about various topics.
Soon, a cart carrying a huge and exquisite cake slowly entered the banquet hall, attracting everyone's attention.
This cake with sixteen layers was like a small tower, which made many noble lords look amazed.
They had never heard that someone had prepared a cake for this diplomatic banquet?
Who was this cake prepared for?
But no one could guess the answer.
Just as everyone was talking, Aurelian and his party slowly walked out of the magnificent corridor, attracting the attention of countless nobles.
August walked side by side with Aurelian, and Count Laurian followed closely behind.
When the two walked near the cake, August raised his voice and said:
"You may be curious, who is such a big cake prepared for?"
Everyone was indeed curious, and the nobles began to discuss, and a rustling of restlessness followed.
Only the twelve foreign ministers from the empire smiled and did not show any doubts.
Because they told Count Laurian about this matter.
At this time, August smiled and continued:
"The reason why the banquet is held today is not only to establish friendly diplomatic relations with the empire."
"It is also to celebrate our Princess Aurelian who came from the empire."
"Her sixteenth birthday."
The nobles present heard this and immediately understood.
No wonder this banquet is so grand, today is actually Princess Aurelian's birthday.
They could not give the king face, but they certainly would not dare not give the princess of the empire face.
Not only was she a princess from the empire, but she also had a deep background, which everyone present could see.
Her father was the world's most powerful warrior, Aubrey, and the legendary Scourge Mage Victor was her teacher.
And there was also the strongest duke of their kingdom, Festan Barro, who was also Aurelion's grandfather.
With so many connections and so many backgrounds, who would dare not give face?
The nobles present applauded one after another, and thunderous applause broke out in the entire banquet hall.
The elegant violin music also switched for her, as if singing praises for Aurelion's birthday.
Aurelion also smiled politely at everyone.
Until the applause gradually died down, August turned to the crowd and said with deep eyes:
"Well, on this special day, I just have something to announce."
"My future queen candidate has been determined."
Countless people raised their heads instantly and looked at August.
Even Hilda, who was sitting with her sister, raised her head suddenly after hearing the news and looked at the king intently.
Aurelian even showedWith a startled expression and eyes widened, he looked at August in disbelief.
Why, on her birthday, would the king bring up such a topic?
Suddenly, the eyes of all the nobles in the kingdom were all focused on Aurelian.
Obviously, countless people realized it.
August, is he going to propose to Aurelian?
To this princess from the Empire! ?
This is simply the most suitable marriage.
After all, Aurelian has a strong background, and forming an alliance with her is equivalent to gaining support from three parties.
And August just happened to choose the day of Aurelian's birthday, just in time to arrange this marriage.
And August mentioned it on Aurelian's birthday, which seemed to be a match made in heaven.
As for Aurelian not agreeing? The Empire not agreeing?
How is this possible, unless Aurelian is the heir to the Empire.
Otherwise, the benefits of marrying the Kingdom of Kant are too many, how could the Empire not agree?
Moreover, a girl becomes the heir of the empire? How is this possible?
All the eight emperors of the empire are male!
Marrying Aurelian will also consolidate August's ruling position.
Even the word "Aurelian" is in their names! It seems to have foreshadowed their fate.
This is simply a win-win situation.
Everyone present seemed to think that this marriage was already settled.
And Aurelian seemed a little confused, because August's eyes had locked on her.
An ominous premonition rose in her heart.
Finally, August said to her with a gentle smile:
"I have decided to marry Count Laurian's daughter, Priss Ness, as my future queen."
"I hope Princess Aurelian can witness it for me on her birthday today."
At that moment, the whole audience was silent.
Even the cheerful music stopped abruptly.
It seemed to be telling a deafening silence.
