When Morriga finished picking the last petal, she gently blew the pollen off her hands and returned to Sylvaria.

She handed the basket filled with flower petals to Sylvalia, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Sylva Ria lowered her eyes to glance at the petals inside and nodded with satisfaction, "Well done, Morriga."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Morriga bowed to Sylvaria to express her gratitude, then she quietly retreated with the flower basket.

Sylva Ria stood up and looked at Lucas, "Are you interested in the bloody rose?"

"Your Majesty, have you ever eaten human food?" Lucas followed her silently, and watched the blood-red roses blooming in the garden with her.

Sylvaria shook her head. Vampires can eat all human food. They suck blood not to fill their stomachs, but to keep their bodies active.

It's just that vampires have well-developed five senses, so they must have a light diet. Of course, some so-called "forbidden foods" (such as garlic) should be eaten with caution, as they are generally not fatal. Some unlucky vampires cannot even eat mustard and chili peppers.

"Since Your Majesty is going to take a bath soon, how about I use the bloody rose to make some human food for Your Majesty to taste?"

Sylva Lia raised her hand and brushed the flowers. "How much do you want?"

"Just a few dozen will be enough. If Your Majesty is reluctant to give them up..."

Before Lucas finished speaking, he saw blood-red roses with crystal dewdrops flying up from the flowers as if controlled by an invisible force, gathering together in the air to form a huge bouquet.

Then, it flew towards Lucas and finally landed steadily in his arms.

Lucas hurriedly stretched out his hands to catch them. When these blood-red roses fell into his arms, the fragrance filled his nose.

"Do you want more?" Sylva turned her head and looked at him, her voice clear and sweet, like the sound of nature. "Maybe you can pick some and use them for bathing."

After being a slave for so long, this human is probably a little unrefined.

Lucas shook his head. “Thank you, Your Majesty. You picked so many flowers at once. You will have to wait a long time for the next bloody rose to bloom.”

Sylva Ria smiled softly, "Don't worry, they can bloom at any time. They are a part of me, and I can control their growth and blooming at will."

As she spoke, Sylvaria waved her hand once again, and the originally bare bushes immediately came back to life, blooming with beautiful blood-red roses again.

"Okay, then I'll get ready."

While Sylvaria soaked in the tub, Lucas ate a simple breakfast and went into the kitchen to prepare it.

The chefs in the castle followed Lucas's instructions, carefully picked the petals, and then gently rubbed them with fine sugar. This step requires extra care to ensure the integrity and beauty of the petals.

According to the state of the petals, the right amount of honey should be cleverly added for flavoring. Lucas demonstrated excellent cooking skills and delicate taste perception, explaining each step in detail to the chef.

Duke Al, who was observing from the side, was amazed and admired Lucas's creativity.

"You actually thought of using honey to remove the bitterness of the bloody rose petals? That seems quite clever." Duke Al exclaimed.

Hearing the praise, Lucas responded modestly: "Duke Al, you are too kind."

He continued to share his knowledge and skills with them and later baked rose cakes.

The rose cakes were baked until golden brown. When he opened the oven door, a rich floral fragrance filled the air. He carefully took out the baking tray and placed it on the table to cool.

When Sylvalia got on the carriage, Lucas brought the rose cake to her and said, "Your Majesty, would you like to try some?"

The outer skin is crispy and soft, and the blood-red rose filling inside does not have the bitterness of roses, but instead has a light sweetness and rich floral fragrance, which makes people salivate.

The vehicle moved slowly forward, going deeper and deeper along the winding streets, and the people sitting in the car enjoyed the delicious food.

Sylvalea didn't comment, but Lucas knew she was in a good mood.

The carriage drove smoothly on the wide street, the wheels making a slight creaking sound. As the distance got closer, the magnificent Gothic building in the center of the city gradually came into view.

It is like a sleeping beast, its huge body and majestic momentum make people fall in love with it. This building stands there quietly, and it seems to have existed for a very long time.

The sunlight shines down, bringing a warm atmosphere to the entire city, but it cannot penetrate the cold exterior of this Gothic building.

Its towering spires sparkle with dazzling light, making the whole building look more mysterious and solemn. Those spires are like sharp swords, piercing the sky and showing their majesty and power to the world.

As the carriage approached, the details of this Gothic building became clearer and clearer. The exquisite details allow one to feel the history and cultural heritage of this building, which represents power, glory and dignity.

The carriage finally stopped in front of the Gothic building, the door opened, and a group of staff in black uniforms quickly came forward to greet them.

Among them, the butler looked respectful, bowed slightly and said, "Miss."

Sylvalia held Lucas' hand and stepped down from the carriage. She nodded slightly, her eyes fixed more on the Gothic building behind him, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

"The auction is about to begin, please follow me." The butler said respectfully as he stood in front of Sylvaria.

Sylva Ria said nothing, but nodded slightly to show her agreement, then followed the butler into the venue, followed closely by a group of staff.

This is the auction house owned by the Escalot family. As a prestigious and highly respected auction house, it attracts countless buyers and sellers to trade precious items.

Today's auction has attracted much attention, because there are many rare treasures among the items on sale. Therefore, there are a lot of people coming and going here today, making it particularly lively and prosperous.

In today's occasion, people from all kinds of identities and backgrounds continue to pour in, forming a unique landscape.

However, at this moment, they all had a common action - they all cast their eyes towards the Duke of El's carriage at the door.

This surprised everyone around, because they knew that the Duke of El rarely came here in person, but today, "he" came.

What they didn't expect was that the person coming down from above was actually a young lady.

Here, the only person who could be treated with such respect by the auction house’s stewards and staff was the mysterious Duke of El.

Duke Al is tall and upright, with a noble and elegant temperament. His appearance is always eye-catching, and every time he appears in public, he attracts countless people's attention.

But today, a young lady got off the carriage with the Escarlot family emblem and was surrounded by them. Her clothes looked very expensive, with a gorgeous style with black as the main color and red as the decorative color.

The top is fitted, accentuating her slender figure, while the bottom is loose, flowing as she moves, adding grace and movement. The sleeves are wide, spreading like butterfly wings, giving her a light and airy feel.

These details show the unique design and exquisite craftsmanship of the dress, and also reflect her noble identity and status.

Everyone was very curious about this lady whom they had never seen before, and they all speculated about her identity.

Suddenly, the originally quiet scene became extremely lively, and people began to whisper and talk.

However, Sylvalea didn't care about it and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Sylvaria and Lucas were arranged to stay in a private room upstairs, which was reserved by Al in advance. The low-key and luxurious design of the auction house's private room can not only meet the needs of the guests but also maintain a certain sense of mystery.

The view is bright and open, and you can clearly see the exhibits downstairs, but it doesn't appear too ostentatious.

She lazily flipped through the thick book in her hand, which recorded all the information about the items in this auction, but to her, these were just insignificant things.

After all, as a vampire with a long life and endless wealth, she has experienced such scenes too many times and has long lost interest in these material things.

Now, the only thing she still felt a little curious about was those new and strange things she had never seen before - such as the human opposite her.
