Online game: Confession of love to a noble daughter at the beginning

"My race is born of blood, immortal."

"Not a god, not a demon, nor a human."

"We are above all living things, devouring blood and devouring vitality."

"No one can witness our faces."

"We hide in the darkness, hide among the crowd, nurture the blood moon, and wait for the right time."

"When the blood-colored six wings appear in the world, the dark moon is in the sky, the twilight is at its limit, and bloodthirstiness is rampant,"

"All things are crying."

--Excerpt from "Dracula's Oath" · Section 36

...

But Laurian is an exception.

He is a prince of the blood clan.

He is so powerful that he has a nearly eternal life.

Just as Laurian said.

The immortal blood clan should not have complicated emotions.

The elders in the blood clan have always warned him like this.

Because he is a prince among the blood clan, with the purest and most powerful bloodline.

So, Laurian stayed quietly in the embrace of his family for hundreds of years.

Occasionally, some vampires would leave the family and always describe the beautiful scenery of the outside world when they came back.

This gave Laurian a strong curiosity about the outside world.

But the elders repeatedly emphasized that the outside world was full of conspiracies, undercurrents, and crises.

Therefore, they had always forbidden Laurian to leave the family's territory.

But in Laurian's view, those fellows who were weaker than him could easily navigate the outside world, so how could he, as a prince, be afraid of the storms of the outside world?

After all, he had lived for hundreds of years.

Laurian resolutely left the family regardless of anyone's dissuasion.

He was full of confidence and even thought that he could be invincible in the entire human world.

But he was recognized as a vampire as soon as he went out.

And this person was the world-class necromancer, Grand Duke Barro.

In that battle, Grand Duke Barro used his undead magic to beat him so hard that he could hardly recognize which blood he was.

Most importantly, the blood race has six extremely strict commandments.

No matter what the status is, whether it is a noble prince or a humble blood slave, no one can violate it.

The first one, which is the most traditional and important one, is.

Seclusion -

You cannot reveal your true identity to non-blood race members, otherwise, other blood race members will cut off all relations with you.

But Laurian, who was recognized by Grand Duke Barro, still couldn't beat Grand Duke Barro in the end.

Laurian directly committed the biggest capital crime of the blood race.

So he couldn't go home.

In this way, he was asked by Grand Duke Barro to live in the Kingdom of Kant as an ordinary human.

Grand Duke Barro even asked the previous king to grant him a piece of territory.

Laurian lived up to expectations and spent more than 20 years to make this land prosperous.

In order to prevent the residents of the territory from working too hard and for the development of the territory, he even believed in the goddess of abundance.

A noble blood prince actually worshipped the goddess of abundance.

This was not because he loved the residents of the territory very much, because blood races should not have emotions.

He just felt that even blood races would not do such particularly tiring work, so why should these short-lived humans who could only live for a few decades work so hard?

But the result was.

A blood prince won the love of all the residents in the territory.

But in the end, this blood prince still made the most serious mistake among blood races.

Laurion fell in love with a human.

Love made him blind, and he fell in love for the first time.

He wanted to be with a human.

But he would not turn the other party into a blood relative.

Because Laurion's love for her was not possession or coercion.

He just loved her as a human.

Similarly, the person the other party loved was only Laurion.

He was the earl of the kingdom, a kind lord who was willing to be inferior to others so that the residents would not work too hard and could have enough food.

Instead of the blood prince.

But this was destined to be a mistake.

No blood race and human beings have ever fallen in love, and they have produced a wrong result.

Priss was born in this strange and chaotic environment.

Lorien was very scared because he didn't know what kind of existence the child between humans and blood races would evolve into.

Fortunately, the newly born Priss was just an extremely ordinary and cute child.

Therefore, Lorien was no longer too worried.

Until Priss entered the age of seventeen.

In the world of blood races, seventeen-year-old blood races have reached the stage of adulthood.

They can spread their wings and fly high to develop their own territory and blood relatives.

But since birth, Priss has lived as a human being and has not shown the blood race'sCharacteristics.

This made Laurian extremely confident, and he firmly believed that his daughter could live a peaceful life as a human being.

However, things often go against people's wishes and develop in the worst direction.

On the night of her coming of age at the age of seventeen, Priss suddenly fell into madness.

The characteristics of the blood clan in her body broke out, and she instantly turned into an arrogant blood clan.

That dark night, Priss planted the seeds of cruelty in madness

Priss, who woke up, was in great pain because of the sequelae of madness.

And she had no memory of the atrocities she had committed, including how many innocent lives she had killed.

In order to treat Priss's mania and prevent the deterioration of the impact, Laurian made a painful decision to lock Priss in the house.

But Priss's mania lasted for a whole year.

The pain she suffered also lasted for a whole year.

She needed to constantly suck fresh blood to relieve her mania a little.

But——

Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone.

Everyone thought that it was Laurian’s crazy wife who killed their daughter, but that was just a statement he used to hide the truth.

In fact, it was Priss, who became a blood descendant, who killed Laurian’s wife.

That night of nightmare, Laurian almost collapsed.

He asked for help from everyone he could, including Grand Duke Barro, who had taken good care of him since he came to the kingdom.

So he asked Grand Duke Barro.

Grand Duke Barro exchanged the souls of his wife and Priss.

As a result, the words that Grand Duke Barro said at the time made Laurian remember them clearly.

"Your wife could have lived well, but she mistakenly had emotions that she shouldn't have."

"But this wrong emotion is human nature, and it is something that countless people who have become mothers will definitely have."

The Grand Duke said to him.

In fact, his wife had already found the Grand Duke.

She had known for a long time that Laurian was a vampire, and had known for a long time what caused Priss's serious illness.

Finally, she got a solution from the Grand Duke.

The answer was...

"I have no other way except for you to take Priss's place and bear her pain."

"However, even if you do this, she will only become a wandering ghost, but she will not dissipate."

"She will keep her memory of the year when she was seventeen and wait."

"Until the future, when the real solution is found, she will return to her body."

"And you will replace her."

"Souls fly away."

So, Laurian's wife did it decisively.

Laurian did not allow her to enter her daughter's room.

So she took advantage of the day when Laurian had to leave and quietly entered her daughter's room.

Coincidentally, that night, Priss's mania broke out.

Mania made her kill her mother, and this was exactly what her mother expected.

The Grand Duke swapped their souls, and from then on, Priss's mother replaced her and suffered from mania.

She even lost her mind.

On the day when Victor made a deal with Laurian, Laurian told Victor the heartbreaking truth.

"My wife has died, and I can't ignore her last wish."

Victor stared at Laurian with eyes as deep as the night sky.

"So, what are your plans?"

Laurrian lowered his head with worry and told Victor frankly:

"The Grand Duke told me that His Majesty August cannot control his ambitions."

"He wants to complete the revival of the mage and reuse the necromancer to consolidate his position."

Because the kingdom has the forbidden magic stone, when the forbidden magic stone is monopolized by August, every high-level mage will be controlled by August.

Become August's puppet.

"So, the Grand Duke intends to let me test him."

"If His Majesty August does something out of line, then..."

Count Lourien will reveal his vampire identity and promise to marry his daughter to August to consolidate his position as king.

And Lourien convinced August with only one reason.

That is, to resurrect his daughter.

"And if August really uses this opportunity to resurrect my daughter, he is doomed to fail."

The next stage will be taken over by Count Lourien.

He will use all his power as a prince to turn the entire Shorben into his blood bank.

In this way, he will bear all the charges and minimize August's influence on the kingdom.

This is done only to ensure the safety of his daughter.

And the Grand Duke also allows him to extract the blood of humans in the territory.The entire territory of Shorben has millions of humans.

Each person only needs to give blood and energy for a year or two to allow Prisis to evolve into a true vampire.

But even so, it is still full of pain for Laurian.

The hope of his daughter's survival and the life span of a million residents in the territory for one year.

This is a difficult choice.

But Laurian is extremely sure that the residents will be willing to lend him their blood and energy for this year.

Yes, it is a loan.

Because this time, he does not plan to live again.

"I have only loved two people in my life-

his wife and his daughter.

The sacrifice of his wife made Laurian make the final decision.

"Finally, please kill me."

"Only you, I believe, can completely kill the immortal me."

"I will return my blood and energy to everyone with my death. "

Just as others said.

He is a beloved earl.

The holy light turned into a gentle breeze, passing through the body of Earl Laurian, whose flesh and blood were scattered and broken.

Countless flesh and blood were slowly torn apart under the golden light.

Finally, tiny cracks spread all over his already broken body, and rich blood poured into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the pale head on the body broke into countless heavy cracks and dissipated like fragments.

The only remaining scarlet eye was still staring at Priss.

It collided with her surprised and confused eyes, which seemed to understand but didn't understand.

Only a faint and gentle voice that only Priss could hear rang out:

"Presis——"

"My sun, the direction of the light in my heart."

"I am willing to give everything, even if I will have nothing."

"I only hope you can escape from this endless painful darkness. "

Finally, Lorien looked up at the sky, at the scorching sun.

Feeling the rapid passage of life, his soul was torn from his flesh and blood.

His soul gradually closed its eyes in mid-air, bidding farewell to this world where the light of day had suddenly appeared.

Let the holy light and the scorching sun slowly swallow him.

And he only murmured the last words:

"Praise the sun."
