The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 296 The Blood-sucking Duchess ([-]) ([-]rd)
Lorgar Province, the territory of Edward Manor.

On the long field ridges, a group of peasant women wrapped in cloth headscarves and plainly dressed, weeding the fields and doing farm work, were chatting while working.

A woman with a tanned face said, "I heard that something serious has happened in our capital recently. Many nobles dragged their families out of the city."

"It's not a big deal! I heard from a servant of a noble family who escaped from the capital. He said that people were dying everywhere in the city. It was terrible, and no one could find out the reason. The man he served The noble couldn't stay in the city any longer, so he ran out in a hurry..."

The peasant woman who spoke spoke with certainty.

Because she was confident that what she told was not a lie. The manservant had passed by her house when he was looking for water and food for his master, so the things she said were told to her by the manservant himself.

However, when the others heard her say this, they immediately stayed away from her.

One person even questioned her, "I said you must have been in contact with that servant from the city, right? His Excellency the Duke has already ordered us not to have contact with anyone who came out of the city, don't you? Have you forgotten all?"

As early as a few days ago, the master of their territory, the Duke of Marle Edward, ordered everyone to stop contacting or contacting people who came out of the city, saying that those people had unclean things on them.

The following people who work hard for him naturally obey the master's orders.

The woman who spoke before saw that other people were alert to her, and muttered dissatisfiedly in her heart, "I just brought the man a bowl of water and said a few words to him, what can I do? matter?"

In the woman's mind, Duke Mahler's words are not that convincing. After all, the Duke himself has a dirty reputation.

The fact that his vampire duchess is probably a vampire has already spread from Linye Province to Luojia Province. Maybe the strange disease in the city is a good thing done by this woman!Hmph, who knows!

Seeing that other people still didn't believe her, the woman was about to continue to say something, but suddenly she felt her throat was a little dry, so she covered her mouth and coughed.

"Cough cough, cough cough..."

After coughing for a while, she let go of the back of her hand that was covering her mouth just now, and when she opened it, the palm of her hand was full of blood!

This time even she was confused.

After seeing this scene, the other peasant women were frightened and screamed and fled in all directions.

Soon, the old housekeeper of Edward Manor received news of an accident in the territory below.

He immediately went outside the Duke's study, and told about the possible infection of the Black Death in the territory.

The housekeeper said these things standing outside the study.

He didn't know why, but from the second day the duchess left the manor, the duke locked himself in the study and stopped seeing anyone, while Louise, who was loved by the duke, took charge of the manor everything in it.

To be honest, the old housekeeper really couldn't respect Louise who became the new mistress of the manor by climbing the bed.Now that he has encountered a major event, he still has to come and report to the duke as soon as possible.

Sometimes, people can earn a living by being young and beautiful, but this job cannot last a lifetime.

Since Louise came to power, many things in the manor have been messed up by her.

For example, the Duke ordered that people in his territory should not come into contact with people from the capital to prevent contamination of the unclean things carried by these people.

But the result?

Only a few days after this order was promulgated, something happened in the territory!
The butler who was guarding the door of the study waited for a while, but he didn't hear a reply from the Duke inside.

He didn't know that all the doors and windows in the study at this time were sealed.

In the dark room, the handsome Duke in the past was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed and his body motionless.

Just when the butler was a little suspicious and wanted to go into the study, a graceful and graceful figure of a woman walked up the corridor not far away.

The visitor is wearing the most popular long dress for noble women. Whether it is the folded sleeve corners or the floor-length skirt, it is all embroidered with exquisite snow-white lace.

Her well-dressed face looks as beautiful as a ceramic doll from the East, and her hair is combed into a bun with a silver hair crown inlaid with emeralds.

She is now the de facto mistress of Edward Manor - Cady Louise.

Stepping on the thick-soled shoes under her feet, Louise walked slowly in front of the butler. She looked at the old dog in front of her with her green eyes, who was not obeying her orders, raised her slender and white fingers, and buttoned the button of the study room. Door.

"Mahler, I have something to discuss with you, can I come in now?" Louise asked.

At this time, the Duke's voice suddenly came out from the study room that had been silent for a long time.

"come in."

After getting the Duke's permission, Louise reached out to open the study door and walked in under the watchful eye of the housekeeper.After entering the house, she deliberately locked the door and told the housekeeper through the door, "I have already sent someone to deal with the matter of the peasant woman in the territory, so I won't worry about it, housekeeper."

The old housekeeper, who originally wanted to enter the house with Louise, felt a little discouraged after receiving this rejection.

In the past, when Mrs. Dollyland was around, she always treated people politely and acted with aristocratic demeanor. She would never do such petty things as throwing faces at servants.

I really don’t know why the Duke would be willing to abandon the Duchess, who had lived with him for more than 20 years, and choose a woman like Louise, and even cut off contact with Master Thomas.

Is it just because she is young and beautiful that she is more popular with the Duke?

Thinking of this, the old butler sighed silently in his heart, and slowly left the door of the study.

In the study, Louise, who had already entered the room, did not open the curtains that tightly blocked the light from the window, but turned on a few lamps in the room, making the room brighter.

Duke Mahler, who had been lying motionless on the sofa before, was now sitting up.

When Louise entered the room, he even lifted his eyelids, revealing a pair of eyes with completely black eyeballs and whites.

Seeing the strange face of the Duke, Louise was not at all surprised. Instead, she came to sit next to the other party and put her arm around the latter's arm.

She said softly to the person in front of her, "The Black Death in the capital has become more and more serious, and it is still spreading to the surrounding areas. What should we do now? Should we move to another place?"

Only the Duke replied with a stiff face, "I have negotiated with the plague demon. He wants to harvest more than [-]% of the people in this empire. I have no way to stop it."

Louise knew in her heart that the Duke in front of her was no longer the Edward Mahler before, but a host parasitized by the black energy that had seduced her.

Later, she learned that this black mass was actually a heterogeneous life form called the Heart Eater, and the Plague Demon it spoke of was another heterogeneous life form.

After hearing what the Mind Devourer said, Louise asked it suspiciously, "Can't you stop the Plague Demon with your strength?"

Seeing the other party nodding, Louise asked, "Wouldn't it be invincible? Isn't there anyone who can cure it?"

The Mind Eater was silent for a moment before uttering a few words.

"Yes, the vampire family can."
