Soon, all the servants in the Duke's manor knew that the blood slave who had always been favored by the Duke somehow angered the Duke and was punished with thirty lashes.

But the duke shut himself up in the room as soon as he came back, and no one was allowed to come in.

The servants in the manor hadn't seen the Duke lose such a temper for a long time, they kept quiet for a while, and became more cautious in doing things.

inside the room.

Shen Ci supported the sides of the sink with his hands, his face turned pale.

He closed his eyes and managed to suppress the churning in his stomach.

"Host?" 888's voice sounded cautiously, "Are you okay?"

Shen Ci shook his head, turned on the faucet again, and splashed some water on his face.

The water droplets soaked the hair next to the face a little, and the coolness brought by it made the brain clearer. Shen Ci raised her hand to pinch the center of her eyebrows, and exhaled slowly.

He looked up into the mirror.

In the mirror, a bright red tooth mark on the side of his neck was clearly visible.

It was Lu Shuo who bit him just now.

Shen Ci pursed her lower lip, suddenly a little tangled.

He just... probably didn't use a lot of strength.

Shen Ci looked down at her hand, and shook it with her fingers.

should not.

At that time, he purposely controlled the strength and swept it with his fingertips, without leaving even a red mark on Lu Shuo's face.

After thinking about it, she was still not at ease, Shen Ci raised her hand again, aimed at her side face, and tried to restore it with the same strength and angle.

"Snapped."

A crisp voice sounded.

888 was frightened by his actions: "Su, host, why are you beating yourself so hard?"

Since coming back just now, 888 felt that something was wrong with his host.

Shen Ci ignored it for the time being, he calmly felt the pain coming from his face, and after confirming that it was only a slight numbness that would dissipate soon, he calmed down a little.

"Ah, it's okay, I'll just be idle and bored, playing with myself." He said perfunctorily to the little system.

888: "?"

Shen Ci ignored the little system's bewilderment, he withdrew his thoughts from his hands, and sighed slightly.

In the restaurant just now, although there was a need to act as a character, there were indeed some of his own stress reactions in it.

But no matter what, you shouldn't slap a child.

Even if the strength was not heavy, the insult was too strong, and Shen Ci regretted it the moment he hit it.

He pressed his temple with some headache.

The thing has already happened, and naturally there is no possibility of taking it back. The only good thing is that Lu Shuo's blackening value has not increased, and it is still stable at the previous 45.

Shen Ci stared at this value, still not quite understanding why Lu Shuo's darkening value tended to rise at that time.

Recalling the time when the reminder sounded, Shen Ci's expression became slightly indescribable.

It couldn't be because he didn't let Lu Shuo bite outside.

There was a sharp whipping sound from outside the balcony.

Shen Ci withdrew her thoughts, and walked to the balcony with a complicated expression.

In the garden, Lu Shuo was kneeling on the ground with his upper body naked, silently enduring the whips being swung down one after another.

The servant who performed the whipping had long been ordered by Shen Ci in private, and he did not kill him, and the voice sounded loud, but in fact it was only a superficial injury, not the root cause.

But even so, there were many bloodstains on Lu Shuo's back immediately, dripping with blood, which looked scary.

Shen Ci pursed her lips and watched for a while, but finally couldn't bear it, waved her hand, and called for a stop.

Feeling that the whip had stopped, Lu Shuo raised his head, and saw the Duke standing on the balcony on the second floor, looking at him coldly, and then went back to the bedroom without saying a word, as if he didn't want to take another look at him.

Lu Shuo pursed his lower lip.

-

For the next few days, Shen Ci did not see Lu Shuo.

This is not out of the need to maintain the character design, but because Shen Ci is in trouble temporarily.

I don't know if Lu Shuo sucked too much blood before, Shen Ci always felt that his body seemed to have changed a bit.

Specifically, when he saw Lu Shuo's teeth, he felt itchy.

I always want to chew on him.

Shen Ci wondered if he had the tendency to transform into a vampire, but firstly, he didn't have sharp teeth, secondly, he didn't have the desire to suck blood, and thirdly, he treated Lu Shuo like this, so he didn't look like a vampire no matter what.

The matter was not clarified, in order to avoid accidentally hurting Lu Shuo, Shen Ci had no choice but to avoid him for a while.

But I don't know if the order was communicated wrongly. Within a few days, there were rumors that Lu Shuo might fall out of favor in the manor.

And these, because Shen Ci has been focusing on finding the reason, she doesn't know.

-

When Lu Shuo walked to the door of Shen Ci's room with his breakfast, he was stopped again.

The newly transferred servant looked at the blood slave who was suspected of falling out of favor, and thought about replying: "Master has not been feeling well these days, so you don't need to serve him."

"Really." Lu Shuo squeezed the end plate slightly with his fingers, but his expression was very calm, "I see."

He turned around and went downstairs, no one saw that his eyes were already gloomy.

-

In the end, Shen Ci did not find out the reason for the itchy teeth, but fortunately, after a week, these strange symptoms disappeared.

Shen Ci guessed that this might be a normal reaction after being sucked a lot of blood.

Now that it was all right, there was no need to avoid Lu Shuo anymore, but when Shen Ci ordered the servant to call Lu Shuo back, the servant told him in a panic:

Lu Shuo disappeared.

Shen Ci: "..."

-

When she first learned about this incident, Shen Ci subconsciously recalled the two disappearances of Lu Shuo a few years ago, and her heart tightened. However, she knew from 888 that Lu Shuo had actually gone to the vampire's side, so she was relieved a little.

"So," Shen Ci said quietly, "he ran away from home this time."

888 heard the resentment in his host's tone: "Uh... yeah."

Shen Ci: "."

fair enough.

In fact, Shen Ci had already planned to let Lu Shuo go to the vampire's side.

After all, although the discrimination against vampires on the human side is slowly changing, it is still not as good as returning to the same race.

But in the past few years, he hinted several times that Lu Shuo insisted on staying by his side, and Shen Ci was really reluctant, so he just let him go.

That's just right.

Thinking so in her heart, Shen Ci tapped her index finger a little irritably, for some reason, she felt a little depressed.

He just slapped Lu Shuo in response, and it wasn't intentional.

In the past few years, he has eaten and drank, been pampered in various ways, and ran away without saying hello.

Little heartless.

Shen Ci cursed softly in her heart.

Time passes quickly.

Occasionally, Shen Ci would feel something extremely heavy pressing on his body in the dream.

A cold breath penetrated into his pajamas, went up his legs, and gradually covered his whole body. It was cold and sticky, and slowly rubbed against his skin.

In fact, these movements are so slight that most people can't notice them at all, but Shen Ci is a light sleeper and is prone to nightmares, so the slightest movement will open his eyes immediately.

But no matter how fast he noticed it, when he checked, he found nothing. The clothes were on well, and there was nothing pressing him down. Those cold touches seemed to be just his hallucinations.

Coming and going again and again, Shen Ci could only comfort herself that maybe she was just sleepy and stupefied.

He was also paying attention to Lu Shuo's news. He heard that he was doing well with the vampires. Shen Ci thought about going over to have a look, but just when he was about to leave, something happened again.

A severe drought with a very long duration and a wide range is coming.

This drought was not mentioned in the original text, so Shen Ci did not expect it. The hunger and death brought about by the severe drought caused a more serious plague. It cannot withstand this terrible natural disaster.

In just half a year, nearly three-tenths of the population in the kingdom decreased.

What is different is the city of Feicross in the south, the territory of vampires.

Vampires have extremely low water and food needs and are not affected by severe drought at all.

The original power of balance was broken in this severe drought, and the vampires began to look at human beings, trying to seize this opportunity to retaliate and enslave human beings. The kingdom that had been peaceful for several years fell into the crisis of war again.

This time, human power was almost overwhelmingly crushed by vampires.

Within half a month, three cities had been lost.

On this day, Shen Ci was urgently called into the palace.

"His Majesty."

He leaned forward slightly.

Following several years of severe drought, the old king's body was also collapsing with increasing anxiety. He had died of illness a year ago, and the new monarch was Minoya.

She has faded away from the youthfulness of a little girl, her temperament is calm and graceful, and she already has the demeanor of a monarch of a country.

Shen Ci noticed the letter in her hand and raised her eyebrows: "From the vampire?"

Minoya hummed with an ugly expression, clutching the letter in her hands, her knuckles turned slightly white due to excessive force.

"Sith."

After a long time, she opened her mouth slowly.

"They agreed to a truce."

Shen Ci heard her incomplete meaning, slightly nodded, and said affirmatively: "There are conditions."

"Yes."

After a pause, Minoya squeezed out a few words between his teeth, and said with a serious expression.

"They're asking for you in exchange."

-

southern border.

Faircross City.

An exquisite and luxurious, yet majestic castle, bathed in the silvery light of the moonlight, the garden was silent, and the guards saluted those who came.

"Master Daphne."

Daphne hummed, and she asked:

"Is your prince there?"

The guard replied: "Yes."

Daphne nodded slightly, then walked into the garden.

Due to the drought outside, the land was desolate and cracked, but in the garden, white camellias were blooming in large groups, with dew still hanging on the petals, fresh and delicate.

In the middle of the flowers, a tall and tall man is pruning the branches and leaves.

The man's facial features are handsome, his outline is sharp and clear, his eyebrows are cold, and his pair of black ominous eyes reveal a sharp and gloomy feeling.

"You will waste your energy on these boring things." Daphne approached and smiled, "Why, are you thinking about your Lord Duke again?"

Lu Shuo ignored her.

Daphne didn't mind either. "Three years ago, you had to rely on me to enter Feicross City," she said with a sigh. "I didn't expect that now you are the master of this place."

"I'm right, you have the right to speak only if you have the same status, or even stronger than others." Daphne asked with a smile, "How about it, my lord prince, no one dares to violate your rules now. Status, does it feel much better than being a blood slave before?"

Lu Shuo was too lazy to listen to her nonsense anymore, he slowly stood up from the flowers, his cold eyes swept over.

"Are you here today for something?"

"Yes." Daphne smiled. She walked to the pavilion beside her, poured herself a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, and said, "The letter has been delivered to the Queen."

Lu Shuo didn't make a sound.

"But are you so sure that the Duke of Sith will accept this exchange?" Daphne raised her eyebrows, "He doesn't look like such a submissive person."

"He can."

Lu Shuo said.

The man lowered his eyelashes, folded off a flower that was blooming beautifully, and put it properly into the white porcelain vase.

After all, his duke was always soft-hearted.
