[Blood] Shura's Castle

Can you see the blood and tears behind her?

During the Battle of Orbis, her most cherished younger brother was plotted against by the nobles of Le Senbai and was seriously injured.

Then the elders tortured him to death mercilessly, and she also fell into madness, bursting out more than [-] million equivalent spiritual power.

Until later, conspiracy and darkness have never been far away from her, even now.

Her memory has been stripped away, her spiritual power has been sealed, what else is left of her except the beautiful appearance and money status common to blood nobles?It's just a skin!She doesn't even have a name!

If the moments I have experienced cannot be considered despair, then my dear, please tell me, what is despair?

What is worthy of the despair of "I don't understand" in your mouth?

"Yes, you don't understand."

Leng Xing's voice was icy cold.

"Proseus understood, that's why he committed suicide."

Her eyes were dark as hell.

"What do you mean?"

The Duke felt that Leng Xing was weird today.

"It's just that people who commit suicide make such choices out of desperation." Leng Xing seemed to be sighing, "You must believe that the survival instinct is the most important thing imprinted in the bones of any creature. If a person can Going against this most basic thing to choose death is only because of genuine despair, at least, in his present moment."

"Looks like you know it well."

"Yes, I do understand very well, and I don't want to recall those details." Leng Xing said firmly, but closed his eyes as if escaping from something, "Qian Xiyue, stop thinking about Proseus. Anyway, He deserved what he deserved, no matter what, he is going to die, isn't he?"

"Ah."

After pondering for a long time, it seemed that there were thousands of words to say, but the Duke only answered one word.

"I just want you to be happier." Leng Xing stroked her icy cheek, "You have undertaken too much."

"I always feel that you are hiding something from me." She tried to meet Leng Xing's eyes.

The Duke believed that Proseus's change could not have happened for no reason, but she couldn't say what was wrong.

"Everyone has secrets, don't force me, okay?" Leng Xing quietly looked away, not looking directly at her, "Even if we are lovers, you still have a space that you don't want to open to me, and I never Forced you to confide something, didn't you?"

Not just what she's done today, but... the nightmares she'll never want to recall.

I do know, and I don't want to recall the details.

People who commit suicide know despair all too well, and I do, so I know how to make others feel hopeless.

The Duke finally didn't say anything, just flipped through the book silently.

Another day passed like this.

When the news of Prince McGee's suicide in fear of guilt spread throughout the blood world, the Duke was thinking about how to sue Proseus for his crimes in the Supreme Court, and Leng Xing was reading novels as usual.

"Hey, Qian Xiyue, the whole world is helping you."

Leng Xing leaned on the duke's shoulder and said lazily.

"Why are you committing suicide..."

The Duke felt that the whole world was turned upside down.Proseus committed suicide, and McGee also committed suicide. Did they all suffer from insanity?They are all nobles and princes!Blood nobles who value dignity and face a hundred times more than life!

"You hate them anyway, as long as they end up dead, what difference does it make to you?"

Leng Xing couldn't understand the duke's mood.

"You don't understand. They chose to commit suicide, which made me feel insulted... My opponent would be such a coward... It's a desecration of my reputation."

People say that if you care about a fool, you will become a fool.The same reasoning applies to the duke. In her opinion, her opponent is a coward who chooses to commit suicide, desecrating the dignity of the nobility. style" feeling.

"Can you stop using that word over and over again!"

Leng Xing slammed the book down on the table and yelled at the Duke, not at all like a lady who pays attention to etiquette.

"You mind so much, could it be that you once..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an angry Leng Xing.

"Yes, it's just that it happened!" Leng Xing was completely annoyed, and left in a huff.

The hellish scene appeared before her eyes again.

Leng Xing didn't forgive the Duke until it was time to sleep.

"Baby..." The Duke tried to hug her, but Leng Xing broke away.

"Do not touch me!"

She opened the Duke's hand, angrily, and turned her back to her.

The Duke fell silent, and Leng Xing was angry for a long time, and turned around when she saw that she hadn't moved.

The Duke's blue eyes were wide open, looking at her innocently.Leng Xing couldn't help but soften his heart.

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

"I don't know..." She really didn't know.

"You are wrong...you have brought back my nightmare memories!" Leng Xing gritted his teeth, "How dare you use that word!"

"But, we've always thought so." She whispered.

"I'm not a coward!" Leng Xing was finally annoyed by her again, "You don't understand my feelings at all! You don't understand what despair is!"

"I don't understand despair?" After being provoked by Leng Xing, coupled with his own arrogant personality, he couldn't allow others to contradict him repeatedly, and the Duke was also angry.

"That's right! Maybe you want to say that everything you have experienced, the tragic death of your relatives, betrayal and deceit, assassination and conspiracy... But, you are the Duke of Rose with strong spiritual power, and you have the ability to protect yourself! You have never experienced helplessness It feels like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered... You don't even know what it means to let others go..." Leng Xing couldn't continue, tears welled up in his eyes.

It was the second time the Duke had seen her cry.

Even when faced with the life-and-death frontline of being sucked from blood and the cruel hell of suffering from illness, Leng Xing did not shed a single tear, but faced countless difficulties as usual, she desperately gritted her teeth and endured. However, speaking of the past, She cried.

The Duke hugged her fiercely, Leng Xing struggled frantically and kicked her vigorously.

But the Duke turned a deaf ear to this and insisted on her actions.

"Baby, I'm sorry." The Duke's cold lips moved, gently kissing the tears that fell down her face, like a feather brushing her cheeks.

"I have...fear of heights." Leng Xing finally stopped resisting, still sobbing, his voice intermittent.

"I know. You said it."

"Do you... know why?" She was still trembling all over.

"Do not."

Although the duke had investigated her family background, he only knew about the death of her parents and the whole process of her relatives fighting for power, and he didn't know anything about why Leng Xing suffered from fear of heights.

Leng Xing tried his best to calm down for a while before he started to speak, but his voice still had traces of crying, and it seemed hoarse.

"I was born in a business family, and I used to live a wealthy life that was unattainable for my peers. Money is not worth mentioning to me. My home is very big. Even if you drive through the gate, it takes several minutes."

"Very rich indeed."

The duke was indeed a rich man, but he was a little surprised after hearing Leng Xing's description.She did not expect that Leng Xing's family was so wealthy before, it seems that the previous information did miss something.

"From my birth until I was 13, I lived in such a luxurious mansion. When I was 12, my parents died in a car accident, not a murder, but an accident. As their only child, I inherited All the property of the family, but I am only a minor and cannot be in charge of the company, so my uncle will act as the chairman of the board."

"Ah."

"However, one day, everything changed. My uncle tried every means to defraud my father's inheritance. Taking advantage of my youth and ignorance, he tricked me into signing the equity transfer document. From then on, my father's company fell into his hands.

"But he was far from my father's business talent, and the company soon fell into financial crisis and was on the verge of bankruptcy. At this time, he thought of the real estate under my name again. He tried to deceive me again, but..." Leng Xing's face There was a sarcastic smile on the face, "Even if I'm just a child, I won't fall twice in the same place! I refused, and he let the underworld deal with me..."

Leng Xing couldn't help trembling, and the Duke comforted her.

"A group of thugs rushed into my house and everything was wiped out...even the bodyguards couldn't stop them...they held the door, smashed and burned everywhere, so I could only run upstairs...at the end, I To be forced to the top of a building and watch them throw my dachshund straight down...that was a warning. If I don't agree, it will end as it will end for me."

The Duke felt wet and cold on the skirt of his shirt.

"Since then, I have never dared to look down from a height. My building is five stories high, and as long as I go to a place higher than the fourth floor, I will feel dizzy."

"No wonder you looked so bad that day."

The Duke recalled how pale she looked that day in his office on the 72nd floor.

"I started to go up to your office floor and couldn't even walk. It took a long time for me to return to normal. It's just that it's okay to stay on the upper floors. If you look down..."

Thinking of the bloody corpse of the dachshund, she shuddered again.

"In the face of death threats, I finally succumbed. All the property fell into the hands of my uncle, and I had nothing."

"He just wants the real estate in your name, but the money from the equity transfer is still yours."

"He didn't give me a penny, otherwise it would be cheating."

"You can sue him."

"There are times when you don't believe in the jungle... how can you win? I have nothing! I don't even have money to pay tuition fees, I don't even have money to buy food... Besides, you know, the human world is full of power and money Trading, my father has done it countless times... How can I win with nothing?" Leng Xing seemed to lose control, his voice was full of despair, "The only thing left is the clothes on my body. My ribbon . . . do you want me to exchange it for money?"

Her hand involuntarily strokes the opal on the silver ribbon.

"If it's about survival, it's nothing." The Duke stroked her hair gently, "In my heart, your life is more important than anything else. Even if you really did that, I won't blame you."

"But I'm afraid..."

"Even without it, I will find you." The Duke kissed her lips, "That's just a token for you. To me, your blood is unique."

"Then, one day, I climbed to the roof of my father's company building."

She saw the Duke's surprised eyes.

"What? Can't you believe it? I am clearly afraid of heights, but I tried to end my life in such a self-abuse way? It's not that I haven't thought of other methods, but this kind of pain takes the shortest time. Besides. , the moment I jumped, I could still fly.”

"You think so!" She heard the Duke getting angry, "You dare to commit suicide, you haven't fulfilled your agreement with me!"

"I'm too desperate, Qian Xiyue, I'm too desperate." Leng Xing buried her face tightly on the Duke's neck, "I used to struggle in hardship, and the only motivation to live was you. I want to see you. To you. However, no matter how powerful the belief is, it cannot match the reality. I have nothing, how do you tell me to live?"

The Duke finally said nothing more.

The two were silent, the only thing visible were the Duke's bright but cold blue eyes, and the cold star trembling in her arms in the thin moonlight.

Until the twelve strokes of midnight resounded in the castle, the Duke's eyes narrowed, his expression blurred.

She let go of Leng Xing's hand, stood up, and started changing clothes in front of Leng Xing.

"Leng Xing, I should go."

"Where are you going?"

"Supreme Court of Camarilla."

The author has something to say:

Chapter65 Variables (Part [-])

Camarilla Supreme Court.

Alice sat in an inconspicuous corner with Leng Xing.

The duke sat in the dock, and Proseus stood in chains in the dock.Between the plaintiff's seat and the defendant's seat is the judge's seat, and in the middle sits Judge Camarilla, who is the most respected and spiritually powerful blood clan among the seven families.Next to the justice are the representative judges of other families, as well as the clerk responsible for the records.Beside the judge's seat is the jury, including nobles with prominent status in the blood clan, and ordinary civilians. There are 14 jurors in total, and each family has one nobleman and one commoner.If a jury of more than ten members opposes the judge's trial, they have the right to dismiss the judgment and start the reaffirmation procedure to ensure the fairness of the court trial. [1]

The Duke once said to Leng Xing that the blood clan society is a typical elite politics, the nobles hold the power, and the common people are enslaved by them.Leng Xing felt very incredible about this at the time, not only because the education she received and the ideas of freedom, equality, and fraternity played a role, but more importantly—wouldn’t the common people resist?No matter how powerful the nobles were, their numbers were only a handful compared to the common people.Has been in the position of being ruled, without any right to speak, don't the common people have a sense of freedom?

But now it seems that the idea of ​​"no voice" is wrong.Civilians still have a chance to speak, but only rarely.

At this moment, the interior of the Supreme Court is already full of people, especially the auditorium, which can be described as full of seats.

"so many people……"

Leng Xing whispered to Alice.

"The Supreme Court only meets once a year. Of course there are a lot of people."

Both blood race and human beings like to watch the excitement.Moreover, the blood race's awareness of political participation is much stronger than that of humans.

"But why does she want us to sit here?"

You must know that this place is so remote to a certain extent!She couldn't help but slander.

"Maybe I'm afraid that you will attract others' attention. Your Highness has never been in the habit of sharing with others, especially important things."

So it's a good thing to allow you to come.

Alice couldn't help but smile when she thought of how the Duke protected Leng Xing so airtight.

Leng Xing shrugged helplessly, she knew exactly how possessive the duke was.

Seeing what Alice wanted to express, "you're just content", she sat obediently, motionless, and stared at the Duke in front of her.

Sure enough, the Duke basically had a cold look in front of everyone except her, with no superfluous expressions.

"Look, Lord Alice."

A vampire civilian next to him winked at his companion and whispered.

"Of course, didn't you see Duke Rose in front?"

"Who is that next to the Lord? Why have you never seen it before?"

Because usually Alice will sit with Marcus, unless one of them is going to perform a task.

"I don't know, it seems... Look at her hands!"

The eyesight of the blood race is not covered, even the civilians can see the sapphire ring on Leng Xing's hand at a glance.

Leng Xing hurriedly hid her hands, the Duke had told her not to expose her before.

"What does she have?"

"The Ring of the Duke of Rose!"

"Are you reading that right?"

Another vampire joined the discussion.

"Definitely not!"

"That ring was used when His Royal Highness proposed marriage."

Said a senior nobleman.

"Could it be that she is..."

"The Duke's lover?"

Not far away, a man wearing a silver mask glanced at Leng Xing. He was wrapped in a dark robe, exuding a chilling aura.

"Kamen, is that her?"

The masked man nodded and looked at Leng Xing coldly.

"No mistake?"

"ring."

He spat out a word, his voice hoarse.

Leng Xing was stared at by those red eyes and felt cold all over.

No doubt Alice heard it perfectly.

"You exposed."

She leaned on Leng Xing's ear and said.

"what?"

"They all saw your ring."

"No way..." Leng Xing felt a chill.She didn't want to be interrogated by the narrow-minded Lord Duke.

There was a lot of discussion in the gallery, some were discussing "The Duke's Lover", some were talking about the relationship between the Duke and Proseus, and some were talking about other things.Leng Xing never thought that the Duke's popularity could be so high.She is simply the queen of topics!

"I didn't even know Qian Xiyue was so famous..."

She just knew that the duke was a so-called "genius commander", but she never expected that "seeing is believing a hundred times". Only today did she find out that her duke is... um, the focus person.

"His Royal Highness has never been in close contact with any nobleman." Alice explained, "So they saw her ring in another person's hand, as you can imagine."

She already knew the duke's new name.

You know, gossip travels faster than any news.The duke has a lover!It's breaking news!

That's why His Highness is afraid that you will be discovered, lest some nobles swallow you alive.

The madness of some of the Duke's suitors made her hair stand on end just thinking about it.

"Besides, His Royal Highness Prince Proseus is also very famous."

"quiet!"

On the judge's bench, a representative judge spoke out.

The audience was silent for a moment.

"The one in the middle is justicar." Alice whispered. [2]

"The justice? The one who looks dignified?"

"Yeah." Alice nodded.

"Incipit placitum!"[3]

The man's voice was thick and powerful, and his face was dignified.

"Does it mean that the court will be formally opened?"

Leng Xing asked Alice.

"Well, you can ask Your Highness. Many of the judges' words are old-blooded words, and we don't understand them."

"Aren't you a blood race?"

"That's right, but only pure-blooded nobles can understand the ancient sayings of the blood race. My father understands it, but..." Alice shrugged, "I only know a few words."

"It's pure blood again..."

"Hush! Your Highness should have explained to you, remember what she said."

Leng Xing became quiet for an instant, and she remembered what the Duke had said before.

"The first item, read the court discipline." [4]

On the judge's seat, the clerk stood up and spoke solemnly.Leng Xing listened for a long time, but didn't understand a single word.

"What exactly did he say?" Leng Xing looked at Alice, "Moreover, the judge came earlier than the observer, and the disciplinary announcement came after the court session."

Leng Xing feels that the court of blood races is quite different from that of human beings.She used to attend court trials. The judges would only enter the court after all the staff were seated and the court discipline was announced, but the blood race...

"Reading the court discipline" is in English, she can still understand it, but after that...

"An old saying of the blood clan. The main idea is the process and discipline of the trial, such as the rules of 'do not disturb the order of the court'. Anyway, I don't understand it. If you want to know, you can ask His Highness. In fact, most blood clans don't understand. But since the establishment of Camarilla, from the first Supreme Court trial, there has been this process. Blood races are not like human beings, the justices are elected by each Supreme Council, and no blood races can be re-elected to ensure fairness. And , The justices serve the people, even if they have a high status, there is no reason for being late. It is a tradition to read the discipline after the court session.”

"Can anyone attend? Just sit in."

"Yes, the Supreme Court is an open trial, and all members of Kamalila can attend. There are even many reporters who will record the situation and report it in newspapers. They will also use many human tools, such as cameras, etc. .”

Of course, the vampires are also very advanced with the times, and the tools of human beings are convenient to use. After all, most vampires were also humans before.

"Wow~ It's so advanced, isn't there any communication tool that can't be brought? Isn't that a secret party?"

"No, there is still a human 3G network here. If you have a mobile phone, you can surf the Internet here, but no one will miss the trial and do other things. Of course, non-Camalila members are not allowed, but this has nothing to do with blood , It is related to whether you are loyal to the seven major families. There is a spiritual power field around the Supreme Court, such as the prohibition of magic circles, spiritual power restrictions, etc., and even teleportation is not available here. And the entrance is guarded by guards, the spiritual power level The highest can reach the Marquis level."

In short, it is heavily guarded, and those without qualifications cannot enter.

"Then what if someone makes trouble? And, what if a blood race exposes this place?"

"There are troops outside, and they can arrive within a minute at most. All the data will be reviewed, and if found, the leaker will be tried in court directly, because this behavior seriously violates the precepts."

"So scary? Is there a precedent?"

"Yes, and it ended badly. They were all death sentences." Alice's expression was extremely serious. "So far, no less than ten blood races have been sentenced to death in court for leaking secrets in court, and they were all executed immediately."

"What kind of death penalty?"

"Usually, it is exposed to the sun until the ashes are wiped out. If it is a nobleman, it will be beheaded directly."

It's just that no noble will leak the secret.

"Oh my god, it's so scary..."

"The second item is to check the identity of the parties and inform them of their litigation rights and obligations." [5]

Leng Xing saw the cold expression on the Duke's face. After the identity check was completed, she said, "Your Excellency, I have a request."

"please say."

"Please allow the defendant to sit down."

Looking at Proseus who was struggling to stand, there was a trace of pity in her eyes.

After all, Proseus was seriously injured. Even though he was a vampire, even after treatment, he still looked in extremely poor condition, and it was even difficult for him to stand still.

"Duke Rose, I don't need your pity."

The duke didn't answer, just watched the judges discuss.

"Given the defendant's physical condition, Judge Kamarilla decided to allow the defendant to sit down after deliberation."

"thank you very much."

The Duke stood up and bowed slightly to the bench.

"I said I don't need your pity!"

Seeing the expression on the Duke's face, the proud Proseus was furious.He would rather the Duke confront each other than accept her mercy.

The Duke ignored her again, then bowed deeply, and said to the judges: "Sorry for interrupting the proceedings, Your Honor, you can continue."

"Why is she?"

"Her Highness will not make things difficult for opponents who are severely disadvantaged." Alice explained, "Her dignity as a pure-blood nobleman does not allow it."

"She bows too?"

Leng Xing didn't think that the Duke would be impolite, on the contrary, when they met at the beginning of last year, the Duke was simply too polite.But, as proud as she is, and a nobleman...

"In front of Justice Camarilla, no matter whether it is a pure-blooded nobleman or an ordinary civilian, as long as they go to court, they can only be plaintiffs, defendants, and jurors. All blood races cannot be rude to the judge."

"I didn't expect that everyone in the blood race would be equal." Leng Xing whispered.

"It's only in the Supreme Court. After the court, His Highness is still a noble pure-blood nobleman."

After the rights and obligations were informed, the clerk spoke again.

"Third item, the prosecutor is invited to make a statement of the case."[6]

In the plaintiff's seat, a cold-looking blood woman beside the Duke stood up and began to accuse Proseus.

"The trial process is very long. You start to feel fresh, and you may be a little distracted after a while." Alice said to Leng Xing in a low voice, "This is the reason why His Highness doesn't let you come. Sometimes, the trial of a case It could last more than a day, as Supreme Court trials use adversarial proceedings to ensure that the rights of all members are respected, even the defendants."

"How long will it take for the trial... With so many cases, can the trial be finished?"

"Only very, very important cases will be submitted to the Supreme Court for trial. Basically... there will be no more than five cases a year."

In court, the duke and Proseus confronted each other, and the entire defense process was full of fierce confrontations.

When Leng Xing heard the last word, he could hardly help applauding the duke.In the end, Proseus was sentenced to death for several crimes and was sentenced to death for his serious violation of the precept of not killing relatives, colluding with the devil party and harming the interests of the secret party.

It took almost half a day for this lengthy trial to end, but the deep impression it left on Leng Xing, whether it was the procedure discipline different from human beings or the fierce confrontation, was always vivid in his mind.

So much so that at the noble banquet a few days later, she was still so excited that she even ran to grab the Duke's drink.

"Thank you."

Seeing the waiter coming with a tray, the Duke picked up the reddest glass without thinking.

"I want to drink~"

Leng Xing happily ran over and snatched the Duke's cup.

"Hey, you actually snatched my drink."

"Oh, why don't you be happier when you have a serious problem in your heart~"

As Leng Xing spoke, he immediately drank the blood-red liquid.

"Aren't you afraid if it's blood?"

The Duke leaned down and whispered in her ear.

"It's not like I can't smell it..." She patted the Duke, "Don't think I'm so incompetent..."

Before she finished speaking, a strange feeling enveloped her.

Everything in front of my eyes became blurred.

She lay directly on the ground, and the Duke was dumbfounded.

The world became a large, trembling shadow, and the colorful blocks melted in her eyes, like ice cream near the fire.Everything was out of control, and she felt in a trance that her whole body was drained of energy.If the body is a dam, there is no doubt that the floodgates are now open.She could even hear the sound of splashing water, as if strength could really turn into water flowing around.

In front of my eyes are scarlet, pitch black, snow white, golden, and dark blue color blocks that are melting.

She remembered the color palette she learned to paint when she was young. All kinds of gorgeous colors are like a large flower field in the Netherlands.

Looking at the lotus flower she painted like chicken feet on the rice paper, the painter's uncle almost flew into a rage.

"Are you paying attention?!"

"I'm sorry..." She replied cautiously, her voice was broken and trembling, and the paint tray fell to the ground between her weak fingers.

All the beautiful colors merged into a cloudy gray, like the industrial wastewater flowing from the hidden sewage outlets on the river bank.

No matter how beautiful the colors were, when mixed together they would end up in a gray that made her almost sick to the point of vomiting.

Just like the world in front of her eyes, the muddy gray, but the paints are struggling, dragging a long trace in the boundless waves.

"Sorry……"

Although the people on the ground couldn't say anything, the Duke could read her mouth.

Those traces are like the Milo that she often held in the palm of her hand on snowy nights in winter when she was in high school. There are white lines swimming on the surface of the coffee-colored liquid.

Like holding a freshly brewed drink, she felt her body was like an erupting volcano, and waves of scorching heat hit her, washing away her consciousness indistinctly.

"hot……"

Controlling her vocal chords and tongue became more difficult than she had ever felt before.She who is always eloquent and eloquent, unexpectedly one day, it was as difficult as climbing a vertical rock wall to say a word.

Slender and cold fingers tightly held her hand, and the pupils in the scarlet eyes trembled, but she didn't feel anything at all.There was still a swirling gray river in front of him, like a maelstrom.

"gosh……"

She could only make mouth gestures weakly, and she felt that her mind was in a mess, like the tofu nao smashed by an iron spoon at breakfast, the snow-white tofu nao mixed with the seasoning.It was also like being forced close to the blades of an electric fan that was constantly rotating in summer, as if the whole head was about to be crushed, dizziness and intermittent pain struck together.

When the consciousness was blurred, the screen of "Desperate End Station 3" that I had seen before appeared in front of my eyes——[7]

Frankie, the flamboyant playboy with the nude girl necklace who molested pretty girls at the McKinley high school graduation party, has his head chopped off by the engine fan of the car behind him after a series of crashes in the Burgers-shakesfries shopping driveway Dropped the back of his head.

A bloody mess...

Her eyes turned scarlet again, like thick and viscous blood flowing all over the ground.

Just like in "Transparent Man", when the veterinarian Sally took blood for Carter who was almost killed by Sebastian, in order to escape the pursuit of the mad genius Dr. Sebastian who had become invisible, she took the blood Bags were torn open and spilled all over the floor. [8]

Another picture appeared in front of her eyes. At the height of the 72nd floor, a tall silver-haired woman was holding a crystal cup full of blood.

In Sicily, Italy, the pain of the bullet embedded in the skin is a bright red that quickly fades.

"I promise you……"

The voice, as cold as a silver moon hanging high, echoed faintly in my ears.

However, the owner of that voice seems to be piercing his heart at this moment——

"Hold on!!!"

Tears of blood welled up in the Duke's eye sockets, covering those originally charming blue eyes.

The nasal cavity is filled with a sweet and fishy taste.

She smelled blood, but the remaining clarity in her heart made her full of doubts.

Datura... Her symptoms are very similar to Datura poisoning, but Datura poisoning does not vomit blood.

- Datura can inhibit the parasympathetic nervous system and cause excitement of the central nervous system.Similar to the symptoms of atropine poisoning, Datura poisoning has symptoms of dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, hoarse voice, dry skin, flushing, fever, rapid heartbeat, deep breathing, and elevated blood pressure.And headache, dizziness, restlessness, delirium, auditory and visual hallucinations, and even confusion, erratic crying, muscle twitching, ataxia, or paroxysmal convulsions and convulsions.In addition, there are elevated body temperature, constipation, mydriasis and knee hyperreflexia.Most of the above symptoms disappear or basically disappear within 24 hours. In severe cases, they enter lethargy, convulsions, cyanosis, and finally coma and death after 12 to 24 hours. [9]

This is the information she has seen about Datura poisoning.As a student who is deeply interested in pharmacy and botany, she often looks up a lot of plant information online.Datura belongs to the Solanaceae plant, which belongs to the same family as the belladonna in the belladonna reagent she often drinks. Poisoning cases of plants in this family are very common, but there are not many deaths.

In the remaining clarity, she felt a burst of relief.

That's great, as long as you don't die.

Her mind became clouded again, and she twitched uncontrollably, terrifying the Duke.

The Duke is trying to stabilize his mind, recalling carefully.It seems... She has seen the symptoms of Leng Xing before her.

Hundreds of years ago, in the European court, a prince suddenly fell down while talking, laughing and feasting, his muscles twitched continuously.With his face flushing, his pupils began to dilate.

There was the sound of heavy breathing next to her ear, and she stretched out her hand to Leng Xing's chest. Unsurprisingly, there was an abnormally fast heartbeat, thumping against her ribs.

"Daturastramonium."[10]

She whispered, with a frightening hatred in her eyes.

"The scene is sealed off, and no one is allowed to go out."

In the name of the supreme head of the military department, she gave orders to the army generals at the scene.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Duke hugged Leng Xing, feeling that her body was so soft that she had no strength at all.

However, even in this way, she is still struggling to make mouth-types to herself.

"What did you say?"

Leng Xing tried to repeat it again.

"do not be afraid……"

Her lips trembled violently.

I'm not going to die, it's just Datura poisoning.

The Duke's eyes were moist, blood and tears were about to fall from his eyes.

"do not be afraid."

Even in such a painful moment, what you worry about is still my mood.

Do you still remember, when faced with the desperate moment of fangs piercing the neck, life and death, you appeared by my side?

"They are vampires, go away!" Leng Xing came back to his senses and shouted at the Duke.

"Don't be afraid..." the Duke whispered in Leng Xing's ear, his voice was soft and gentle.

You at that time, told me
