Tome of Blood

Chapter 17 17 How Should I Address You? Your Majesty?

Chapter 17 -17- What should I call you? Your Majesty?

Charlotte discovered two more characteristics of the vampires.

First, if you become addicted to blood and never drink blood, you will eventually lose your mind, go on a rampage, and do some unpredictable things.

Second, if you suck blood and get injured at the same time during a rampage, even if the blood sucked is the blood of an animal, as long as the injury is not fatal, it seems that you can heal quickly...

As for the price...

It consumes the fullness and satisfaction brought by sucking blood and becomes hungry again.

At the same time, when the rampage is over, she will become extremely weak.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight.

However, Charlotte had no interest in admiring the moonlight.

Looking at the bloody scenes and trembling attendants around her, she felt only shock...

What... did you just do?

In fact, Charlotte's previous memories were very clear.

It was a really scary experience.

On the one hand, her consciousness was chaotic; on the other hand, she seemed to be awake.

She clearly remembered that the moment the old servant opened the carriage door, the tense string in her mind finally broke completely.

She clearly remembered how she got violent and killed the other party brutally...

She clearly remembered dragging the packhorse into the woods to suck the blood, enjoying the sweetness that was like rain...

She also clearly remembered how she tore off the crossbow bolt from her body and how she ripped out the heart of the escaped attendant...

She felt as if she had turned into a crazy beast at that time. It was not until the attendant cried and begged for mercy that she finally woke up...

This is Charlotte's first murder.

No nausea, no queasiness, and no fear.

She didn't know if becoming a vampire had affected her thinking to some extent, making her heart become colder and harder.

The violent version of herself just now felt very strange to her.

Charlotte knew that she had definitely gone berserk at that time.

The only thing that made her feel somewhat lucky was that she managed to maintain some sanity during the rampage and did not suck the blood of the corpse...

Even if their blood smells much better than fishy livestock.

It can be regarded as some kind of bottom line for Charlotte.

She always felt that if she really sucked the blood of a corpse, she would completely lose her humanity, and from then on she would go further and further down the road of sinking and become a real "weird demon"...

It was obvious that she still knew too little about the power of the vampires.

Charlotte closed her eyes gently, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

After a long time, it reopened.

At this moment, she made a decision.

You must completely control the power of the "blood clan" and never let this kind of out-of-control "rage" happen again!

She was very powerful just now, very powerful, and she had definitely reached the level of an extraordinary person.

But power that cannot be controlled is meaningless.

This time, she was facing an enemy.

But next time, what if it’s her companion?

Or what if it's an enemy she can't defeat?

The sobbing sound was extremely harsh in the deep night, interrupting the girl's thoughts.

Charlotte shifted her gaze and looked at the last attendant who was completely frightened.

She just didn't go ahead and kill this guy.

Not because she sobered up, but because her rampage was over.

She felt like an amateur runner who had just finished a marathon. Her whole body was sore, exhausted, weak, and she seemed ready to faint at any time.

To be honest, Charlotte even feels a little guilty now.

Because if she really wanted to take action, she might not be able to defeat him now.

Fortunately, the attendant was frightened.

And he couldn't see Charlotte's weakness at all.

That's just right.

Charlotte still has some questions that she needs to ask the other party.

She was still acting violently, with a strange smile on her lips, and her indifferent voice was emotionless:

"Tell me, who are you?"

If it weren't for the crimson eyes that had returned to the blue of the sky, Charlotte would really look like the killing machine just now.

Of course, the frightened attendant no longer noticed these details.

"Mercenary... I am a mercenary... We are Boulder's free mercenaries!"

He said while crying.

Free mercenaries...

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

After meeting the Duke's son Lenore that day, she specifically asked Priest Lottie about mercenaries. She knew that in this world, free mercenaries were equivalent to adventurers and bounty hunters in fantasy novels in previous lives.

The difference is that the vast majority of free mercenaries are ordinary people who are forced to make a living, rather than extraordinary people.

Of course, to be called ordinary people is also to say that they are ordinary in terms of strength compared with extraordinary strength. The vast majority of mercenaries are actually desperadoes who tie their heads to their belts.

As long as the reward is attractive enough, they are willing to do anything.

"Who sent you here? What is your mission?"

Charlotte asked again.

"I...I don't know who our employer is..."

"We just accepted the mission on the mission board of the Rose Society. Let us kidnap the eldest lady of the Castel family and hand it over to the people who come to take care of it..."

The attendant said tremblingly.

"Rose party?"

Charlotte raised her voice slightly.

"The Rose Club is the largest underground gang in Boulder. It often connects mercenaries and employers and takes a commission from it..."

Underground gang...

Charlotte remembered the name Rose Society.

She looked at the dead "old servant" hunting ax on the ground again:

"Who gave him Yi Yong?"

"Yes... he is our employer..."

"Huh? Didn't you just say...don't you know who your employer is?"

Charlotte's voice suddenly became cold.

The attendant was about to collapse:

"I...we really don't know..."

"He covered his face and deliberately changed his voice... We only know that he is a mage..."

"Oh, by the way! He helped us prepare the carriage, and he also helped us prepare the crossbow and clothing!"

After listening to the other party's words, Charlotte was thoughtful.

Whether they are able to disguise the mercenaries as old servants of the Castel family, or forge the uniforms of the Castel family, or know the itinerary of the Castel family to bring their master home, it shows that the other party has an interest in Castel family. The Tell family knows it all too well.

Not only that, but the other party can also obtain contraband items such as crossbows, which means that the other party either has a background in the kingdom's military or has contacts with people in the military.

Only the direct vassal nobles of the Crescent Kingdom and close associates of the direct vassal nobles can set foot in the kingdom's military.

In other words... he is a direct vassal of the Crescent Kingdom like the Duke of Boulder.

But the problem comes again.

Since there are so many free mercenaries to kidnap him, why would the employer find such a group of unprofessional people?

And what’s the point of kidnapping yourself?

At this moment, Charlotte smelled a conspiracy.

"Where is your pickup point?"

"Outside the city...outside the city...our first stop is here. We need to change into the new carriage that has been hidden in this courtyard in advance, and then leave Boulder City through the west city gate..."

The attendant said tremblingly.

The pick-up point is not here!

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.

Her current condition was not good. If the other party's pick-up location was this courtyard, then she would have to consider running away immediately.

"Tell me the specific location where you will be picked up, and then get lost."

Charlotte said indifferently.

The attendant was overjoyed.

Without hesitation, he took out a piece of parchment from his arms and presented it with both hands:

"Sir...sir...it's the place marked on the map."

Charlotte took the map and browsed it.

"Sir...can I go?"

the attendant asked cautiously.

Charlotte glanced at him:

"get out!"

The servant seems to have received a general amnesty.

"Thank you... thank you, sir! Antonio will never talk nonsense about what happened tonight! Antonio swears to the Lord!"

After that, he stood up tremblingly and stumbled out of the courtyard. His posture was very embarrassing, and his legs were obviously still very weak.

However, just when he was about to leave the courtyard gate, he suddenly stopped, looked hesitant, gritted his teeth and turned in another direction.

There... there are the Holy King's Church and the Demon Hunting Center that are the closest to here!

The attendant took a step forward and was about to run out of the courtyard, but the next moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.

He slowly lowered his head and saw half of a crossbow arrow leaking out of his chest.

His eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and then he slowly collapsed.

Behind him, the expressionless Charlotte slowly put down the crossbow in her hand.

She had no intention of letting him go.

From the moment the other party participated in the kidnapping and recognized her vampire identity, she had already sentenced the other party to death.

Letting the opponent run first is just because she is in a weak state and has no confidence to defeat the opponent.

Although she looks cute, she is not a virgin!

The last kidnapper who knew her secret died, and Charlotte put away her crossbow.

This crossbow is really good, it is pocket-sized, but it is very powerful, and it does not require too much effort when using it.

She was already planning to take it back and use it as a self-defense weapon in the future.

Hmm...just enough to hide under your skirt!

Charlotte soon had an idea.

However, just when Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, a hoarse and deep voice suddenly sounded behind her:

"Would a great being like you use mortal weapons that even secular knights look down upon to deal with mortals like ants?"

who? !

Charlotte was shocked.

She turned around and saw a plump black cat slowly walking out of the shadows under the moonlight.

A... talking black cat? !

Charlotte's heart suddenly lifted.

As a vampire, she couldn't sense the existence of this black cat just now!

There was a human solemnity on the black cat's face.

Under Charlotte's vigilant gaze, she saw it gracefully saluted with its front paws like a human noble, and then said hoarsely:

"Meow... first meeting..."

"My name is Ness. I am an elegant cat noble and a devout believer in the God of Contract."

As it spoke, it raised its head, with a hint of meaning on its plump cat face:

"Tell me, should I call you Miss Charlotte, or Your Majesty from the Blood Clan?"

Please vote for recommendation! Asking for a monthly ticket! Please read it! Charlotte can also be called Charlotte as a short name or nickname, so don’t worry about the inconsistency of names!
