I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

Late at night, after everyone in the castle had gone to sleep, Ruthmary sneaked out of the utility room and hid in a dark corner. She took out a small object from her hand and put it on the ground. A figure immediately appeared in front of her. It was Donna Peters.

"Miss Donna, it's just as I told you. That bitch Olivia has come to cooperate with Miss Manjushage." Ruthmary said in a low voice.

"Humph." Donna sneered over there: "When she heard that Manjushage and I were at odds, she ran over to find someone to help her. Little did she know that I just slipped up for a moment. When His Majesty the King goes back to suppress the Demon Sword, Manjushage will be without a backer. Then I will kill these two people at once!"

"Miss Donna is wise." Ruthmary flattered while giving wild hints with her eyes.

Donna glanced at her and said, "Don't worry. After this is done, I will ask my mother to support you to become the new leader of the Xingchenhua family. You can take this opportunity to firmly grasp Luo Shiqi's heart. By then, the entire Yaslan Kingdom will be ours, and those who dare to go against us will all pay the price."

"Thank you, Miss Donna." Ruthmary knelt down quickly.

Ever since she decided to take revenge on Manjushage, she has been frustrated time and again. She originally planned to use her young and beautiful appearance to seduce Luo Shiqi, but Manjushage would not allow her to get close to the training ground, and it was even more difficult to meet her in other places.

In desperation, Ruthmary found Donna, who had also been humiliated by Lycoris radiata.

In her opinion, Miss Donna is a true aristocrat. Compared with Lycoris radiata, she never uses her status to pressure others. She does everything by herself and will not order Ruthmary around just because she is a maid. She is much better than Lycoris radiata.

She had been serving Manjushage in the castle for several years, but had never seen any good things. They had always been clothes and cosmetics. She was no match for Donna. When she heard that Ruthmary was working for Manjushage, she immediately gave her a magic device for communication.

Originally, Ruth Mary thought that the treatment of the Xingchenhua family was already good, and she didn't know how many people outside were envious of them.

But those are magic weapons. Even an ordinary noble family cannot afford a few of them. Donna was so generous. Compared with Manjusaka who had a lot of magic weapons but refused to give anything, she was extremely generous.

These servants work diligently every day, but they don't even have the qualifications to see a magic weapon. It would be a joke if others knew about it.

After all, no matter how good the treatment was, in Manjushage's eyes, they were just lowly servants. Otherwise, given Olivia's shabby appearance, why would Manjushage treat her so well? Was it just because of her status as a lady?

She had heard from Donna that Olivia was a dirty and lowly slave not long ago, and she must have used many tricks to get to her current status. She and Manjusaka happened to have similar interests, and both wanted to step on Donna to get to the top.

Of course Ruthmary couldn't let them succeed.

She wanted to defeat Lycoris radiata together with Donna, teach this woman who had humiliated them a lesson, take her place, rob her wealth, and ruin her reputation!

Just then, there was a sudden noise behind her, and Ruthmary turned around nervously: "Who's there?"

She had already put away the communication magic device, but what if someone was eavesdropping on the whole process? Then all the hard work she had done to reveal the news to Donna would be in vain!

Thinking of this, Ruthmary felt a wave of despair in her heart. She held the strange bottle used for communication tightly in her hand, intending to crush the bottle directly no matter who she found. It would be best if it was Lycoris radiata, which would save her time. Although it would cost a little, with Donna there, she would be safe in the end.

"Squeak..."

She took a closer look and immediately relaxed: "What? It turned out to be a mouse."

Ruthmary ran away quickly. She didn't want to be touched by the mouse, it was so dirty.

Only after she finally left did Dracula William let go of the hand that was covering Marianne's mouth.

"Who are you and why are you here!" Marian hurriedly distanced herself from Count Dracula, her eyes full of vigilance.

"I am Manjushage's friend, Dracula William." Count Dracula introduced himself.

"I never heard Miss Lycoris radiata mention such a guest as you." Marianne still stared at him.

Dracula's eyes widened, looking very surprised: "Didn't she tell you about me? That shouldn't be the case. Even though my identity is special, your situation is equally grim. Our situations are so similar, and she didn't tell you anything at all..."

"What are you talking about?" Marianne seemed more confused, but not as nervous as before.

She sensed no ill will from the incredibly handsome man in front of her.

"Let someone who knows the inside story explain this." Count Dracula raised his hand and motioned Marian to look to his side.

Lycoris radiata appeared there at some point.

"Miss Manjusaka, be careful!" Marian hurriedly protected Manjusaka.

Although this man has no ill will towards her, there is no guarantee that he will not harm Manjushage.

However, Manjushage gently pushed the hand away: "Don't worry, he is my friend."

"He...really..." Marianne looked confused.

This man seems strange no matter how you look at him. He is dressed in black in the middle of the night, his face is pale and shriveled, he has a pair of sharp teeth at the corners of his mouth, his blood-ink eyes are deep and terrifying. Except for his handsome appearance, everything about him is strange. He is actually a friend of Manjusaka!

Do these upper-class nobles have some kind of cross-dressing fetish?

"In short, there will be no problem with Count Dracula. I can't go into details, please forgive me." Manjushage did not intend to reveal Count Dracula's identity as a vampire. Everyone can be careless sometimes. The fewer people who know, the safer Dracula will be.

"Are you sure you don't want to explain my story to her? I thought given the girl's current condition, she should be able to understand it easily." Dracula William said.

Manjusaka's icy blue eyes flickered with doubt: "What's the status?"

Dracula William was stunned for a while before he reacted: "Don't you know the identity of this girl, and dare to leave her in the castle?"

"Isn't she just an ordinary girl?" Manjushage glanced at Marianne and said truthfully.

Dracula William was silent for a long time before he suddenly realized, "You are right. She is indeed just a poor and innocent girl."

"Excuse me, both of you." After a long silence, Marian finally spoke: "Can anyone tell me what is going on?"

The three of them moved into the room, and Manjushage described Dracula William as a master of shadow magic. He said that he came to help her deal with a difficult matter and often patrolled secretly at night to see if there were any unusual incidents.

"Oh, so Count Dracula just saved me. He just fiddled with it and conjured up a mouse, and led Ruthmary away!" Marian said suddenly.

She is always sleepy during the day and only has the energy to work at night.

As soon as Marianne arrived at the castle, Ruthmary was transferred to be a porter. Naturally, she didn't know that there were people working at night, otherwise she wouldn't have happened to see them.

She originally wanted to report everything she saw to Manjushage, but she was too nervous and accidentally made a noise that was noticed by Ruthmary. Fortunately, Dracula William appeared in time, otherwise, with Ruthmary's posture just now, she would most likely be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Marianne said quickly: "Miss Manjusawa, let me tell you, Ruth Mary wants to join forces with others to harm you!"

Manjushage nodded: "I know."

"You knew that a long time ago?" Marianne looked surprised.

"Yes, not only do I know, I also know all her whereabouts. I have seen everything Ruthmary has done during this period of time." said Manjushage.

"Then why didn't you stop her..." Marianne asked puzzled.

Manjushage showed an unfathomable smile on her pretty face: "Of course, we have to wait for her and Donna to show their true colors, and then catch them all in one fell swoop."
