“…There is a human scent.” Helles put his arms around Yu Ci’s waist from behind, with his nose resting on the tip of Yu Ci’s ear.

Yu Ci's back stiffened, then gradually relaxed. She did not try to break free. First, it was not elegant, and second, Helles might be expecting her struggle, just like the evil fun of vampires hunting.

After only two encounters, Yu Ci was left with a deep and bad impression of Helles.

"Your Highness, I have contracted another blood slave today." Normally, the prince would not ask about such private matters of vampires, and vampires would tacitly not ask about it actively. At most, they would joke during meal time about how they had contracted a few more blood slaves.

But Helus talked about the human smell in her, so she needed to explain.

"Is my housekeeper hungry?" Helles finally remembered that she had taken away half a cup of food from Yu Ci. She smiled softly, as if coaxing a child.

In terms of age, Yu Ci is indeed a child.

How can Yu Ci answer? !

lie?

Lying to a vampire who had lived for who knows how many years was the stupidest decision in the world.

She could only follow Helles' words and said calmly and restrainedly, "Yes, Your Majesty, I originally only had one blood slave, Lilith."

"Lilith~?"

My housekeeper is a passionate vampire who can remember the names of delicious blood slaves." Helles loosened his arms around Yu Ci. Her slender waist was soft and flexible, but her master was really boring.

But this was not the reason why she let go. It was just that when she heard the housekeeper mention another person's name, she felt unpleasant as if her own things were being taken away.

This feeling was very novel. After all, as long as she wanted, the entire North would be hers. She had never felt that anything within her sight was out of her control.

The housekeeper is really cute.

"The name is just a code name, Your Majesty. Calling someone like Blood Slave No. 1 is really against the etiquette of the Rose Castle." Yu Ci felt a hint of alarm at her delicate nerve endings. She didn't know what the prince behind her was thinking.

Are you afraid that she will fall in love with the human blood slave?

It's as absurd for a vampire to fall in love with a human as it is for a human to fall in love with a chicken leg.

Her fair and impartial tone pleased Helles, and his emotional ups and downs, which were so tiny that they could not be detected even with a giant microscope magnified countless times, were smoothed out.

"Okay! My 'well-educated' housekeeper." Here, Helles used a Northern dialect from a thousand years ago to tease Yu Ci. If Yu Ci hadn't read enough books, she might not have been able to react.

After all, no lady would like to be praised as "the best shepherd on the grassland at shearing wool" (knowing how to comb and groom).

Yu Ci knew that when her superior was joking with her, she must not fail to respond. She replied, "Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty, the Lord of the Grassland."

The owner of the grassland, the sheep and the shepherd.

This was a real compliment. Yu Ci hoped that after hearing her compliments, she would realize that she was such a vulgar and flattering vampire, and give up her damn curiosity as soon as possible!

"Miss Loyal Shepherd, I like you very much..."

What do you like?!

You love it!

Yu Ci's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the oil painting hanging on the wall of the castle. The painting showed a mysterious and beautiful lake, with the moonlight reflected on it, ripples sparkling in the breeze, and lively fireflies on both sides of the river bank.

That is the guide of souls.

Helles buried his head in her slender neck and nibbled it, not for eating at all. The blood flowed out very slowly. Maybe it was just a dessert, right?

A delicious dessert after a meal.

Yu Ci is that dessert.

This time Helles was very restrained and only tasted it lightly. She gently licked the wound left on her body to help it heal.

But he saw that the housekeeper's body stiffened during the licking.

It turns out that the housekeeper is so sensitive.

Yu Ci really didn't want to play the forbidden game between the city lord and the housekeeper with her. After Helus took this unprovoked bite, she turned around, saluted, and prepared to leave.

"Dear Prince, please allow me to withdraw from the plan to handle the Rose assets."

"I haven't paid attention to this for a long time, please sort it out one by one, Miss Housekeeper."

It seemed like Helles came to afflict her, not wanting her to have an easy life. Yu Ci's black eyes trembled with anger, but she regained her composure when she raised her eyes.

She picked up the palace lantern and led the way. The prince behind her looked at her like a searchlight, from her meticulously tied hair, to her delicate neck, her thin butterfly bones, and finally to her thin waist that was too thin to be held in one hand.

Because she doesn't like to drink blood, Yu Ci is actually too thin.

But this did not affect her ability to hold up the dignified and elegant butler dress, nor did it affect her status among vampires.

She is a genuine marquis.

Vampires are divided into the last generation of blood clan, baron, viscount, earl, marquis, duke, and prince. It becomes increasingly difficult to upgrade among them, which depends on the purity of blood and one's own qualifications.

The Marquis is already a powerful figure who commands great influence in one area, and the Duke and Prince generally do not show up.

Therefore, as long as Yu Ci is willing, she can even divide a piece of estate that belongs to her and become a queen served by others.

But the Kahn family behind her would not allow it, and Helles Feng would not allow his butler to betray him.

She and Helles are puppets of fate that are completely bound together.

But as the prince's housekeeper, the connections and horizons she has access to are unmatched by other vampires.

The footsteps paused, Yu Ci took out the exquisite golden rose key from her waist, inserted it into the keyhole, turned it, and pushed it open.

Inside are all the account books and expenditure details over the past few hundred years, even down to the minute details of how much a candle was consumed.

"Your Highness, all the bills you want to see are here." Yu Ci used a palace lantern to light the wall lamp, and the room was dimly lit.

"Ah."

Helles has always been generous. The three previous housekeepers always tampered with the accounts and extracted certain benefits for the family. That was the reward they paid, and she didn't care.

In fact, she didn't mind Yu Ci taking a certain amount of compensation, after all, her wealth was countless.

She even secretly expected the housekeeper to greedily grab her wealth, so that she could use it as an excuse to impose even more excessive "punishment" on her.

After all, she is not an unreasonable prince, right?

Yu Ci was very happy that the bills and reports she had worked so hard to prepare were put to good use. She took out a five-centimeter-thick book and handed it to Helles Feng.

"These are the expenditures and surpluses over the past five hundred years. You can review them."

Helles raised his long eyebrows slightly and patted the place beside him, "Tell me about it."

"This is against etiquette, Your Majesty. Let me explain it to you in writing." Yu Ci bowed.

It was just an account book going back several hundred years, but she remembered it by heart. She took out the transaction deposit slip from the shelf and started talking from the first year.

Yu Ci arrived just before Helles Feng fell asleep five hundred years ago. At that time, the war between vampires and the Holy See had just ended. The former housekeeper Linda Kahn was corrupt. After Helles Feng defeated the bishop at that time, he felt extremely bored and began to fall asleep.

In the first year, due to the rapid growth of the industry, the bills were quite confusing. Yu Ci focused on describing the newly opened industries, such as manors, taverns, brick factories, ships, perfumes, etc.

After that, the economy of the entire North developed in an orderly manner and was very prosperous. Although there were giants scattered all over the place, in fact, most of the shares were in the hands of Helles Feng, the owner of the Rose Castle.

In other words, as long as he went out in the North, Helles Feng could stay in the best hotels anywhere without spending a penny and live the most carefree life.

When Yu Ci said this, her tone was light, firm and confident, and her eyes were full of satisfaction with her management of the business.

But none of these belonged to her. What truly belonged to her was only a small portion of assets that she financed with her own funds and a small manor.

Helles felt as if he had discovered the housekeeper's little hobby, which was love of money. Her eyes were as dark as the night, but they would light up when she talked about the amount of money.

Beautiful like Haitian obsidian.

But unfortunately, the honest housekeeper did not leave her any chance to find any evidence against her. The data was accurate and she could even sense the transaction scenes on the old deposit slips.

Helles did not feel disappointed about this. On the contrary, she was satisfied to have such a loyal minister.

I don’t know how to reward her?

Helles propped up his chin with his hand and looked at the housekeeper who was still explaining seriously.
