A strange world

Chapter 625 Section 22. Succubi invade the undead

As guests and allies, Annan and the Scarlet Princess attended in their best attire.

Annan put on the black gemstone earrings that he took off the second day after arriving at the Crimson Castle, paired with the slightly curly black hair that became longer, like a delicate work of art.

The Crimson Princess is still wearing a scarlet dress, her long golden hair is flowing naturally, and her eyes are like magnificent rubies.

Annan came to the banquet with Scarlet Princess on his arm.

Skeletor introduces Necropolis' ally, the Scarlet Princess, to the guests, allowing Annan to observe the guests at the banquet.

Those guys dressed as aristocrats who showed unwillingness and negative emotions were vampires from other forces, and the remaining guests almost did not have the same appearance... There was also an incident of guests stealing and eating guests outside, and the waiters hurriedly rescued them.

The characteristics of the undead made this party feel like a costume party.

After the Skeleton King introduced his allies, Annan accompanied the Crimson Princess into the banquet room amid weird applause, following closely behind.

While she was talking to the guests, he stood nearby and stared at each other warily. She picked up the wine glass and was reminded by Annan: "Don't drink."

"What are you doing?"

Princess Crimson said in mock annoyance after the second guest was chased away by the annoying Annan.

"Lucy let me watch you."

"I'm not a child!" After saying that, the Scarlet Princess remembered something, "How old are you?"

"Not even eighteen yet."

"I'm almost five hundred years old!"

"But it looks similar to me."

Many Sempervivum species do not mature until much later. For example, dwarves, who can live up to 400 years old, are not considered adults until they are 80 years old.

Elves are even more outrageous. A twenty-year-old human may be arrested by the Elven Tribunal for falling in love with a 200-year-old underage elf.

It is difficult for a natural-born vampire to understand the compliment expressed by this sentence, but Princess Crimson's love novels are not for nothing. Her cheeks were slightly red due to Annan's compliment, but she still raised her head and said: "Please give Madam some private space."

"Okay, I won't be too far away."

"up to you!"

Watching the Scarlet Princess leave, Annan, who was finally alone, walked towards the Skeleton King who stood out among the crowd at the banquet.

Before the Skeleton King could introduce the guests to him, a cold voice sounded from beside Annan.

"So... you are Annan?"

Annan looked around and saw an illusion, as pale as a sketch, with an outline that needed to be painted floating there. She was wearing a dress and crown with no discernible color, and her cheeks looked cold because of the lack of color.

"Hello, beautiful lady." Annan stretched out his hand.

Princess Mononoke lowered her eyes and stared at Annan's outstretched hand, and also extended her own palm.

As they held each other, Annan's fingers gradually sank into Princess Mononoke's smooth and soft palm, like holding a piece of cold cream.

"It's really fun," Annan said.

"You too. Beautiful human, I like you." Her tone was as cold as her ghost body. "How about being my husband."

"Uh...Sorry, I have someone I like."

Annan just wants to profit...just wants to make friends with them.

"Then we can only deal with her."

"That's a good joke. I thought the undead didn't like jokes." Annan said with a chuckle.

"This is no joke."

Princess Mononoke with icy seriousness.

"...That person is Rose, the Spider Queen, and I have dedicated my life to Him." Annan had no choice but to make up new lies for his excuses.

"Why the Spider Queen?"

There was a sound like wood being planed, and a beautiful puppet sitting on the dining table, which Annan thought was a decoration, interrupted.

"You are all undead, this can build some relationships." Annan lowered his head.

"Not many of us like that spider here," she said, extending her hand toward Annan.

Annan looked at her palm, which was no bigger than Lily's cat's paw, and stretched out a finger for her to shake.

"Why?"

"An evil god who plays tricks and leads betrayals... Only demons like him."

Annan didn't care about the slander. After all, he was not Dela. "Are you a puppet?" he asked curiously.

"After my death, my soul was hidden in my daughter's puppet." Mrs. Puppet said.

Next, Annan got to know the beauty and stories of the undead ladies such as Skeleton Maid and Bandage Lady.

For example, Mrs. Puppet, she likes to stay on Annan's shoulder and talk about what happened about three hundred years ago. Like a bystander, he watched his daughter die of old age, his daughter's daughter died of old age, his descendants suffered betrayal and division, the family fell apart, and all his property was taken away. Then one day, the puppet lady who was left in the warehouse accidentally encountered a devil's contract. After gaining power from the devil, she went back to avenge the enemies who betrayed her family, but she gave up when she reunited with her family. To escape the devil, it fled deep into the forest and took up residence in the realm of the dead.

And Miss Bandage. She was once a well-known genius mage in Spiral City, but she was betrayed by her lover, tortured, and had her flesh and blood dug out. Finally, she was discovered by the Skeleton King and rescued from the dungeon. He turned into an undead because he was about to die. She wrapped the rotting remains with bandages. These bandages eventually grew together with the flesh and blood, emitting a scent that is still unforgettable.

and Skeleton Maid. She used to serve a cruel mistress, and her biggest hobby was actually devouring the flesh and blood of beautiful girls. The skeleton maid had to have a piece of her flesh cut off every day and suffered terribly. In the end, she tried to kill her mistress but failed and was bled to death. A new consciousness was born on the broken body. The reborn skeleton maid thought that she was not the cowardly girl, so she killed her mistress, burned the manor to the ground, and fled to the necropolis.

Only Princess Mononoke has a very simple background - she was once a princess who had lost her country.

But without exception, they all have tragic pasts and painful pasts. According to Skeletor, only by having strong emotions can one "live while dead."

So Skeletor calls this new life.

As for not even a single evil person among them... either they hid this part, or Skeletor only saved the good undead.

Its goodwill toward Annan is evident.

They surrounded Annan and listened to their past. Annan thought that his experience should be better than that of many senior warlocks.

"Isn't this our shame, the scarlet princess hiding next to the human city-state and crying?"

A frivolous voice suddenly attracted the attention of Annan, who was surrounded by ladies.

He raised his head, looked through the skeleton maid's ribs, and saw a young and handsome vampire standing in front of the Crimson Princess, while she gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger.

"Sorry, excuse me." Annan took away Miss Bandage's hand on her arm, took Miss Puppet off her shoulder and put her into the arms of the skeleton maid beside her, and took the initiative to walk towards the Scarlet Princess.
