Chapter 119 Then you, call me Master from now on
Its daybreak.

But near the castle, the interior is still gloomy. No sunlight can shine directly here.

Miao Xueer was becoming more and more confused.

That is to say, the man who followed her into the castle on his own.

Suddenly, he said something like "Your house is big, one more person will make it more lively." What a shameless remark.

In the past, he could be beheaded for the crime of molestation.

living room.

"So, the conflicts between you and the people in this town are not just about you occasionally going out to suck blood."

“And reclaiming wasteland.”

"…This is my territory. No one is allowed to enter."

"They want to cut down trees, and you need them. I remember there were quite a few cut-down trees on the outskirts of the forest."

"...I can't tolerate civilians farming around me."

"After all, they regard you as a heretic."

"..."

Miao Xueer was very upset.

No matter how convincing his words were, he always hit the nail on the head.

He is so noisy!

"Let's talk about the current situation in this country."

"For example, taxes, living standards..."

"..."

"do not know."

"Haven't you lived here for more than 30 years?"

"…I'm going to sleep."

"You really can't go out during the day?"

"..."

Why are there so many questions?

If I could get out, why would I want to take root in a place like this?

Although Miao Xueer didn't want to admit it.

But ever since I found out I couldn’t go out during the day, I felt invisible and inferior.

Although she is a princess, she can only pick up her former pride in a lonely room.

Deliberately interrupting the topic, Miao Xueer pretended to sleep.

Only after hearing Su Ming really go out did he open his eyes.

It's your own home, but you feel uncomfortable here?
Leave the room.

He didn't even look at the treasures on the dining table. He just asked which ones were common currencies and took a handful away.

Love money?

Did not see it.

What's the point of that shameless guy staying by my side?
It will only be... targeting myself.

A mere commoner has the courage to covet the body of the princess?
Not the princess.

It's just that vampires can only live in fixed places. During the day, they can only be in the woods, in areas that are not exposed to sunlight.

It is no longer possible for me to reach the normal stage of marriage and choose a husband I like.

In the past, the title of Knight of the Royal Guard had another meaning, which was to serve the master for life and not to marry.

It is considered an alternative, an open lover of an upper-class woman.

He's not even a personal guard knight, but he wants to win my favor? !
But he is really strong, right?
Last night, I didn't even see his movements clearly, but those guys were already powerless to fight back. If it were me, I would have to use charm to be sure.

He knows everything.

I took the cross... No, I didn't use that thing. If I didn't use charm, I wouldn't be his opponent at all. But he didn't seem to be on guard against his eyes. I really don't understand... Can he trust me so easily when I'm already a vampire?

What exactly is going on.

If you turn yourself around, you will become the fish on the board?

If you don't like money, what reward do you want?
I've heard from my mother before that when she met a knight of the royal guard she liked, she would sometimes reward him by kissing the back of his hand or foot.

No.

He is not even a knight now, and he does not regard himself as a master.

Miao Xueer felt a sense of loss for no apparent reason.

Really...very lonely.

Just an ordinary person breaking into the unchanging life, even a man, would think so much?
Maybe he simply didn't care that he was a vampire, and was also interested in his beauty. He looked... easy to deceive.

maybe.

I was just being teased. I didn't even know who he was or whether he was born innocent. In the past, such a person with unknown background would never appear in front of me.

I will stay here for maybe ten or twenty years...

Even if you believe him.

How long can he stay?
Can you tolerate the same life as yours?

Unless he is made into the same as himself, neither human nor ghost.

Can't be a knight.

As he said, what about becoming friends?
Just come and see me occasionally. Just talk. Mu Xueer took out one of her most precious items from the box.

Crystal stone.

Even in the royal palace, it is extremely precious and only the royal family can use it.

this is not OK.

It would be troublesome for him to sell it.

Change to something else. Accessories.

Priceless... I don’t like the treasures on the table, so what if there are more valuable ones?

He only comes occasionally, and each time he brings out a better treasure than the last time. He will come, right?
In the end, Miao Xueer was determined not to let Su Ming stay here.

Don't want to be seen drinking blood.

I don’t want to be asked why I can’t go out during the day.

I don’t want to either. Maybe I’m being teased, or maybe there’s some unpleasant truth out there.

……

the other side.

Su Ming changed his clothes and mingled in the town.

Compared to the night, the business of the Mother House is not very good. The brightly lit luxury is not seen during the day.

There are few rich people walking on the street.

Coarse linen clothes. Mend them.

And...it really stinks.

I guess there are people watching over those busy places and people are not allowed to dump dirty things there.

On the other hand, the more dilapidated the land, the more messy it is dumped on the roadside, exposed to the sun and rain.

"Alas... the priest is useless."

"It's the same as before. He comes back in a daze after he goes there."

"That place is cursed. It's useless for anyone to go there."

"..."

Su Ming didn't even go to inquire.

They chose to eat at the restaurant near where they had planned to burn down Mu Xueer. Many people were chatting.

"Boss, what is this curse you are talking about?"

"Outsiders?"

The boss respectfully poured a glass of dark water, which tasted a bit bitter.

"It's the forest in the south. For many years... there has been a demon who likes women living in it."

"Ahem, you like women?"

"Yes, the women who were hit didn't remember what happened. Only marks were left on their necks. All the victims were women."

"..."

If you give enough money, you can chat about anything.

Su Ming knew a lot of things.

Miao Xueer really didn't do anything that was against the law. At least the people whose blood she sucked were basically alive and well.

For example, many people were actually opposed to arresting Miao Xueer.

Of course, it wasn't because they sympathized with Miu Xueer or anything else. It was probably because Miu Xueer had spread rumors that were favorable to her. Deep down, they all really thought that the forest was a cursed place. They felt that they would be cursed and fall into misfortune as long as they entered.

This time they must catch Miao Xueer.

This is largely because the lords’ taxes were too strict. For example, after working hard to buy a bottle of water, they would only have a cap of water left in the end.

If they want to survive, they must find a way to make more. But this place is so small, and the land that should be reclaimed has already been reclaimed. The only thing left is the cursed land of Mu Xueer.

"Religious?"

"They know how to collect money, but I haven't seen them give us the money."

"As for religion, I will believe in whoever feeds us and gives us money."

"Only a person with a brainless mind would use all his possessions to support the church, and then die of starvation without anyone caring."

Originally, Su Ming was planning to take over the position of priest.

After he said this, he felt that even if it was a long time ago and people had different perceptions, no one was stupid when it came to basic things like being hungry or not being hungry.

The priest just happened to be lucky enough to help some villagers who had been thinking about the new land for a long time find the leader.

Is this considered a shift in conflict?

The taxes set by the lord were too harsh, but they only thought about how to grow more and how to take back the territory from Mu Xueer.

Find more than 100 people to follow her.

Where to start?

"Hey."

"?"

As soon as he left the restaurant, Su Ming was stopped by someone.

"You look like a foreigner. What are you doing here?"

"…business. Traveling merchants."

"Oh."

How to say?
Robbery in broad daylight?

Seeing the tall and thin boy showing his yellow teeth, he said, "Would you like to try this? Consider it a gift for meeting you."

"..."

Is it poison?
Carefully he took out something wrapped in a crumpled rag from his pocket. Hmm?
Su Ming suddenly knew what to do.

"I guarantee it'll be enjoyable. See that mother-in-law pavilion over there? Hehe, if you suck this and go play, I guarantee you'll experience true bliss."

"Well, let's not talk about this package for now. I want to ask who is the leader of this area?"

"?"

"If you don't want to buy it, then let's not talk about it."

The tall and thin man seemed a little afraid and tried to slip away after collecting the cloth bag.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished asking your question. Shall we go over there and talk?"

"You-gu?!"

The tall and thin man was about to resist when he suddenly felt something sharp pressing against his waist.

Inverted?

He always tricked others into taking drugs or robbed others.

Is it your turn?
"Do you know who is above me? Do you know the steward around the lord?"

"I don't know. If you keep hesitating, let me think... how about cutting it off? It will save you from having to sell it."

"I'm sorry! Please... spare me! Don't tell them I'm selling... please!"

In a dark alley.

The tall and thin man watched Su Ming pour the expensive medicine on the ground and even had his clothes taken off.

"Do I look like a civilian now?"

"..."

"Look like?"

"...Like, sir, you are now a civilian."

"great."

He really didn't understand. Why did he have to take off his clothes to put them on? Didn't he have any clothes of his own? It was humiliation, naked humiliation.

We must go back and find him.

-

Su Ming changed his clothes again. Now when he walked on the street, no one would even look at him.

The clothes of the tall and thin man not only fit well, but also looked ordinary. But they were a bit smelly, so I had to wash them when I got home.

Castle.

Miao Xueer Eliza was already prepared for what to say when Su Ming came back.

The precious treasures that were used to whet Su Ming's appetite were also prepared in batches. All that was left was to practice... the lines that asked Su Ming to come here occasionally.

"You... you are allowed to come and go here as a friend of me, Miu Xueer Eliza."

"..."

"As a reward, I grant you permission to enter and leave my mansion in the name of His Majesty."

"..."

"If you come regularly, I will reward you..."

No matter how she thought about the lines, Miao Xueer felt something was wrong.

Or maybe I feel that I am too humble.

Or maybe you think it's too high-profile.

"I, I like you! So, I allow you to enter and leave my mansion."

"I want to stay overnight occasionally... yes... yes, yes..."

It's like I was begging him to come.

"What cocoa? Is there such a thing as cocoa in the palace?"

"!"

The sudden voice behind her made Miao Xueer explode.

"who……"

"Who?"

"Who allowed you to come in without permission?"

Didn’t you hear it?

If what she just said was heard, the little bit of her image as a princess would no longer exist.

"Sorry, sorry, I came a little too hasty. But you don't have the habit of changing in the living room, so it's okay."

"..."

Changing clothes in the living room?
What kind of bad habit is that?
How could a princess do something that is not in accordance with etiquette? Who do you think you are?

"Your...clothes, they stink."

No.

I want to say the lines I just practiced.

But nothing could be said.

"Get out...and wash yourself."

"It does smell a bit. I'm not used to it either. I'll definitely have to wash it later."

"But before that, I want to mention one thing. Are you interested in becoming a lord?"

"?"

Miao Xueer was a little surprised.

Do you want to be a lord?

"That's not right. Didn't you say you were a princess?"

"I am the princess. Eliza the Second..."

"No need to talk about those suffixes. I have decided to support you to take the top position again. Let's start from this town. Become the boss of the underworld first."

"?"

Support?

What is the underworld?

What on earth is he talking about?
"From now on, our relationship will be like that of a minister and a young princess. I will bring you back to your former glory. Don't thank me. In fact, I have long been disgusted with the current rulers."

"..."

This series of words made Miao Xueer stay where she was.

Treasure...reward.

Minister?

Young princess?
To bring yourself back to your former glory?

What is that? Rebellion?

No, I can't leave here at all. But what he meant was that I have to stay here even if this is the case?

Miao Xueer couldn't help wanting to go out, but when she saw from the corner of her eye that Su Ming had already taken off his clothes, she quickly stepped back.

Obscene!

But I knew that was because I had just said that my clothes smelled bad, so I was cleaning them.

waited for so long.

When Su Ming changed into his original clothes, Miao Xueer thought it was very strange, a strange outfit she had never seen before.

I haven't seen anything like it either. It looks like a cigarette, but not quite.

"This is a cigarette, a specialty of my hometown. You can't buy it here."

"..."

"You...haven't thought about it at all. The fact that I can't get out."

"I've thought about it. I think there should be some way to go out. For example, if the skin cannot be directly exposed to the sun, then wear a full set. Have you tried it?"

"It doesn't matter if I can't go out for the time being. The important thing is to get moving first."

"..."

"So, you want to stay here?"

"I saved your life and I plan to help you. You're not going to chase me away, are you?"

"The Eliza family has always valued gratitude."

"That's no problem."

“But, but!”

"?"

"A commoner wants to be a minister... what a pipe dream. To be a minister, at least three generations of your ancestors must have had titles and made outstanding military achievements..."

"..."

"Are you...are you willing to be my personal knight?"

"What's the difference?"

"Will you, or won't you?"

"All right."

"..."

Miu Xueer's heart was beating fast. It was the first time she took the initiative to invite someone to be her knight.

But agreed.

The mood is very pleasant.

"Well, I will allow you to live in my mansion. I will pay you on time every month. It will be calculated according to the salary during the Eliza Kingdom period."

"is it?"

He may not seem interested now, but he will definitely be shocked when he takes out the precious treasure.

"You are allowed to dine with me."

"...So I couldn't eat at the table before?"

of course.

It would have been unthinkable for a commoner to have dinner with the royal family in the past. This was the highest honor.

"B-then..."

Miao Xueer's cheeks turned a little red, the part that excited her the most was about to begin.

"From now on, you have to call me Master!"

"what?"

In contrast to her excitement, Su Ming's mood was not so good.

Worked hard to save her.

Although it was due to the mission, it did bring her good things.

In the end I have to call her master?
Not interested in this.

But if she were to say so, now on the contrary there is a little interest.
