After I collapsed, I became a succubus

The corridor was long and long, and Grand Duke Murphy walked beside Butler Spencer.

He entered the palace this time in the name of discussing matters with Duke Hall, Percy and others.In addition to discussing matters, he has another purpose.

That is to ask his subordinates to find out the true face of the legendary Vader's "lover".After entering the palace, he asked his attendants to wait for the opportunity to find the figure of the "lover".

For the past month, he has made no progress on this path.While feeling his dignity being challenged, he couldn't help but become more curious.What's more, he recently heard a very strange rumor from the jail.

That is……

Emperor Vader brought his lover to the prison in the middle of the night!

It is said that the lover was carried in.Many prisoners had seen his beautiful long silver hair, and his slender legs exposed outside his robes.

What is even more shocking is that Vader then took the lover to interrogate Paladin Bright.

The prisoners who were a little closer to the interrogation room heard the heart-piercing screams from Bright that night.His voice was vague and his words were unclear, but he could hear the deep relationship between him and this mysterious "lover" who belonged to the emperor, and his deep-seated hatred for the emperor.

Paper cannot contain the fire, not to mention, Vader did not intend to cover up the incident in the prison.Not long after, some nobles in the royal city knew about this unbelievable event.They whispered and speculated about the identity of the "lover".

What is it that can make Bright, who has always kept himself clean, lose control of his emotions, and make Vader take "him/her" to meet Bright to demonstrate?

Because of the legendary long silver-white hair, they guessed that the "lover" was a woman...or even, the woman that Bright admired.After taking power, Vader imprisoned his former enemy, raped his lover, and brought her to the enemy to demonstrate.

This taboo and immoral news was quickly talked about secretly among the nobles at the top because of the pleasure of voyeurism—although under Vader’s coercion, it was only a little Very few people know about it.They figured out the identity of that person and the relationship between the three.A marquis with an extremely corrupt private life said that Vader probably fell in love with the legendary "lover" in front of Bright, which made Bright, who has always had a calm chivalrous character, lose control of his emotions.

Because of this, the true identity of that "lover" also made people more curious.

Grand Duke Murphy sat in the soft chair and took a sip of amber tea.With a smile on his face, he greeted Percy, the Emperor's "Military Adviser".To deal with a fox like Percy, he had to put a little thought into it.

Several people chatted for a while, and voices came from the garden.Grand Duke Murphy glanced outside, and saw the blond-haired, blue-eyed girl walking into the garden led by the butler Spencer.The sun fell on her soft braided hair, and she looked as beautiful as a flower.

"It's Miss Green." Percy followed his gaze and looked out.

Grand Duke Murphy smiled and said, "I know that she came to the palace today to restore a mural for the housekeeper."

The icy blue eyes behind Percy's monocle lens also smiled: "Really? I think Grand Duke Murphy has also heard the rumor. Some nobles think that His Majesty needs a wife."

Murphy said: "Miss Green is indeed a rare beauty. With her status, she is indeed worthy of Your Majesty. Miss Green has worked tirelessly to restore the murals. Today's weather is so good, if Your Majesty can walk with Miss Green in the palace It would be a good thing to go."

"Really?" Percy smiled, and Grand Duke Murphy's heart skipped a beat. He always felt that there was something deep in his smile, "The nobles' thoughts, after all, are the nobles' thoughts. I only hope that Miss Green In the palace today, don’t be frightened.”

... frightened?Archduke Murphy was taken aback.

What scare?

He reacted for a while, and remembered some rumors in Percy's smile, and laughed loudly: "As the emperor, it is not surprising that your majesty has several lovers before marriage. As long as no heirs are produced , who would care? Sir Percy, you think these noble ladies are too simple and fragile."

—— Dealing with the fiancé's lover is already a common thing for many aristocratic mistresses in this era.

Percy smiled, noncommittal.

Under the sunlight outside the window, the emperor in black met Miss Green. Miss Green lowered her head and saluted him in a panic.

……

Lucian pushed open the secret door into the study.

There was no one in the room, so he rushed to the row of bookshelves without thinking.Before coming here, he had heard from the maids that Vader and Elizabeth were somewhat close relatives, so he would take her to visit some places in the castle.

But people with a discerning eye also know that this seemingly well-founded visit is exactly the "relationship promotion" for everyone to put Elizabeth on the throne of Vader's "fiancée".

Vader is really lucky to be able to visit the castle with the beauty.

It's also a good time for him, though.

Lucian flipped through the bookshelf in a hurry.In fact, he didn't need to be in such a hurry, but he didn't know when his heart started beating non-stop.

This is an extremely ominous premonition.Lucian has always believed in his hunch.

So he quickened his actions, one after another, one after another... Finally, he found a stack of blueprints in a fragile parchment book.

The moment his finger touched the blueprint, Lucian had a wonderful premonition.

— that was exactly what he was looking for.

Beads of sweat from tension and excitement gradually dripped from the tip of the nose.Lucian opened the stack of drawings and looked at them carefully.

He moved very carefully, as if he was afraid of crushing the pile of paper.On the drawings are complex mana circuits and seal symbols, and densely packed ancient texts describe the process and precautions.He looked at it line by line, not daring to miss anything.

Finally, he saw the familiar signature and date in the corner of the drawing.

That was the mark Vader used to stamp on each of his "creations."

Lucian's fingers trembled, and he knew it wasn't out of fear, but out of excitement.

He finally found the blueprint for unlocking the ankle ring!

There is no place on his body to hide blueprints.Lucian thought for a while, rolled it up, and put it in his hand.Just when he was about to restore everything, go back to the room, hide the drawings, and find a chance to study them...

Suddenly there was a door opening sound from outside!

Following the door opening, came the sound of two footsteps.A series of footsteps are soft, and a series of footsteps are serious.

They were talking about something, but at that moment Lucian felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

That was Vader's footsteps!

Vader came to the study at the moment he found the blueprint!

Lucian has not had time to deal with the aftermath.The books he pulled out were all piled up on the carpet in a mess at the moment.And the couple outside the door obviously didn't just sit in the outside room like he prayed for. On the contrary, their footsteps moved towards the inside room, getting closer and closer...

When Lucian put the last book back on the shelf, he heard the sound of the doorknob being turned.

The fireplace faced the door.It was too late for him to cross the study, get into the fireplace and turn on the mechanism to leave.

……

Vader stepped into the inner room.

There was silence in the room, only the sound of the wind blowing the curtains.Vader frowned while looking at the side bookshelf.

A very subtle feeling welled up in his heart.But when he looked over again, the row of bookshelves was clearly intact.Each book is placed in its place.

Elizabeth Green followed behind him, and this beautiful noble girl was obviously a little nervous at the moment.Vader knew her father and brother's intentions, but he didn't bother to make things difficult for her.

——He has no interest in such a fragile and pale creature.

"No, thank you very much for bringing me here." Elizabeth tried her best to speak smoothly, "My father said that you have the parchment scroll about the history of elf art in the Chaos Era. I have always been very interested in the art of elves. interest……"

Vader said nothing, didn't even look at her.He walked to the column where the art history book was placed and found the book.

The moment he passed the desk and took out the book.The white-haired succubus curled up in the hole under the desk held its breath.

After Vader found the book and the booted legs disappeared from his vision again, Lucian's beating heart calmed down a little.

He hadn't been able to leave this study just now.

Vader came too fast, too caught off guard.He only had time to restore the books he pulled out one by one according to the order in his memory, and then he had already missed the opportunity to leave the study.

For this reason, he could only bend down and hide in the hole of Vader's desk the moment the two pushed the door open.

The emperor's desk was extravagant, and there was a lot of space under it.The table hole is much deeper and wider than ordinary desks.Lucian was able to hide himself inside.The height of the table hole was limited, he curled up, his long silver hair fell messily on his body and the ground.He clings to the inner wall of the desk to shrink himself to the smallest size, and his long legs are bent dryly.

His heart was beating wildly, deprived of oxygen due to the rapid movement just now.But he didn't dare to breathe, he could only cover his nose and mouth with his hands, for fear that the sharp Vader would hear his breathing.

He heard Wade hand the book to Elizabeth, and the two exchanged a few words politely.Lucian breathed dangerously, and clenched the blueprint in his hand, full of tension and fear of being discovered.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if Vader found him curled up in the table hole.

Vader would find out that he was back, that he had fooled him all these days...

calm.Lucian told himself to calm down.

Outside the table, Elizabeth and Vader were still talking.She seemed to be happy because she got the book, and besides that, she was still playing witty in her words, as if she was cautiously probing something with Vader.

After all, Elizabeth is an aristocratic lady who knows nothing about the world.The temptation she thought she had concealed in her words was too clear, and both Vader, who was talking to her, and Lucian, who was hiding in the table, could hear her intentions.

"Miss Green." Lucian heard Wade say coldly, "If you have any questions, you might as well go straight to the point."

Lucian curled up with sore joints all over his body, he quietly tried to adjust his posture, and then...

He heard his name from Elizabeth's mouth.

At that moment, Lucian almost choked to death by himself.

He resisted the urge to cough, and soon, he didn't even have the leeway.

because……

There was the sound of the seat being pulled away, and Lucian burrowed into the hole of the table again, almost sticking himself against the wall of the table.

Vader sat in a chair.

Vader still wore jet-black boots today.The boots were extremely close to Lucian - together with the long legs that stretched into the hole of the table as he sat down.Lucian was forced into an extremely cramped situation.

Anytime, as long as Vader stretches his legs slightly...

He can touch him.

"Miss Green." He heard Wade's polite but sneering voice, "What identity are you asking me about Lucian Sissel's whereabouts?"

"...friend." He heard Elizabeth's moth-like voice after a long time, "I used to think of him...as a friend! After the news about him, I was very, very unwilling..."

"Friends?" Vader interrupted her, the sarcasm in his voice became stronger, "Friends..."

"—I was his friend too," he said.

Lucian tried to tighten his body.He wasn't listening to their conversation at all - all he knew was that he absolutely didn't want to be found out at this moment.

—Whether it was discovered by Elizabeth that the Lucian she was "killed" by Vader is now strangely under Vader's desk, or that the foot that belonged to Vader found hidden in his hand Ring drawings.

It's a pity that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.As he bent his knees, shifting his position so as not to collide with Vader's feet...

"bump."

His anklet hit the inside of the desk.

And there was a crisp clicking sound.
