Three years later

After decades of seemingly peaceful but turbulent waves, the war between vampires and the Holy See has rekindled. Death, blood, fear, tears, and graves have once again descended on this scarred land.

But what is interesting is that few people really know the reason for the resumption of the war.

Everyone has different opinions and discussions, but the only thing that is undeniable is that this war undoubtedly started since the mass death of vampire nobles and high-level officials of the Holy See two years ago.

But beyond that, very little is known.

After the war started, the vampires, under the leadership of the strongest among them—the Earl of Ross, slowly occupied the upper peak. Up to now, compared with the Holy See side, no matter in terms of power or number, the vampires have occupied the upper peak. overwhelming absolute dominance.

The vampire community rejoiced, for this was likely to be the first complete vampire victory ever, and more likely to be the fastest war to end!

Earl Los's reputation had almost reached its peak at this time, and the vampires' reverence for him reached a feverish level.

·

The night was deep and dignified, with iron-gray thin clouds floating in the dark sky, the pale moon was dim, and a cold white halo appeared from behind the clouds from time to time.

The tall castle is built on the mountain, revealing a black silhouette in the night. The slender Gothic spire of the castle points straight to the night sky, and the cold night wind whistles and circles over the steep and sharp ridge.

But Earl Ross's castle was unexpectedly lively.

A dance is going on.

The silver candlesticks that fill the entire castle are engraved with gorgeous patterns, and the castle is brightly lit by warm and bright candles. A huge crystal chandelier hangs in the middle of the hall, exuding bright and dazzling light.

The dark red carpet that covered the entire hall was soft and thick, and there was no sound of footsteps on it.

The delicate and exquisite ancient porcelain is carefully inserted with roses of different shapes, and the bright petals still contain night dewdrops, revealing their fragrance in the warm and bright hall.

The smell of perfume and powder mixed with the scent of roses lingers in the air, and the low conversation is accompanied by the sound of silk skirts rubbing, the fragrance of clothes, and the shadows of the skirts.

Half of the face, a glimpse of eye waves, red lips behind the feather fan, a straight tuxedo, snow-white gloves, and shiny black leather shoes are twirling and intertwined in the melodious music.

The red wine is as glamorous as blood, and the luxurious hall is resplendent and magnificent.

But the vampires are a little absent-minded, because the host of the dance has not yet arrived.

Four floors of the castle

Different from the hustle and bustle in the ballroom, Earl Ross's room was completely silent, only the rhythmic ticking of the simple clock in the corner could be heard.

Earl Ross stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself.

The man in the mirror frowned tightly, his ruby-like blood-red eyes were dim.

While everyone is celebrating the upcoming victory, only he always feels... something is not right.

In each confrontation with the Holy See, although they always returned with great victories, every time they analyzed and counted after the war, they would find that the demise of the Holy See's vital forces was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, every time they planned a sneak attack against the upper echelons of the Holy See, they always failed due to various seemingly accidental events, as if——the Holy See is a prophet.

Although they have an absolute advantage now and have won again and again, Earl Ross always has an ominous premonition vaguely lingering in his heart.

——The Holy See seems to be planning something secretly.

Ah.He looked at himself in the mirror and shook his head mockingly.

So what if they really planned something?In the face of absolute strength and overwhelming power, no amount of planning is useless.

As for his own strength, the Earl never had any doubts.

He straightened his suit in the mirror, took one last deep look, and turned to leave the room.

Time to entertain guests.

Just after he opened the door, a thin and weak voice sounded.

"count……"

A hint of impatience flashed in Earl Los's blood-colored eyes. He turned around and saw a slender young man staring at him in the shadows in the distance.

The golden hair is as bright as the sun, the blue eyes are as gentle as the sea, the skin is fair, the facial features are exquisite, and the slender figure makes people feel pity.

And in those big blue eyes, there is an irrepressible obsession and love.

Kylier was wearing a delicate white formal suit, with layers of snow-white lace lace exposed at the neckline, making his face delicate like an angel.

Earl Los took a deep look at him, as if searching for something in his eyes, but he found nothing in the end.

The count hid the subtle disappointment in his eyes, and smiled at him gently, no emotion could be seen in his blood-colored eyes: "You go down first, don't wait for me."

Kylier's fair cheeks were stained with a shy blush, he nodded reluctantly, turned and left.

Looking at Kelier's back, Earl Rose's eyes shone with an indifference that didn't match his smile.

——After the war is over, the holy son of the Holy See will be useless.

Earl Ross turned and walked down the spiral staircase to the bustling hall.His arrival made everyone hold their breath, and everyone stared at him with fanatical eyes.

Earl Ross nodded symbolically, his handsome and perfect face was calm and unwavering: "Please don't be restrained, just be casual." After speaking, he waved lightly to the band beside him, signaling them to play music.

The melodious music sounded, echoing in the air like flowing water. Along with the music, men and women stepped onto the dance floor respectively.

Earl Los held a glass of red wine in his hand, and leaned leisurely on one side, sipping it gracefully. His blood-colored eyes were cold and deep, and his body exuded a gloomy low pressure, which made the vampire nobles who wanted to come up to talk Stay away.

After all, Earl Ross was notoriously moody.

At this moment, a young man in a white formal suit appeared in front of Earl Ross. Earl Ross glanced sideways, and saw Kelier looking at him with a flushed face.

He was twisting the corners of his clothes uneasily with his slender white hands, looking straight at him with admiration and anticipation in his blue eyes, and he said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "My lord, may I ask you?" Go dancing?"

Earl Ross frowned, coldness and impatience flashed in his eyes, and his voice was low: "Get lost."

Kyle's blue eyes widened in surprise, and tears welled up in his eyes in an instant. His eyes were red with grievance, and he looked at the count with a hurt face.

Earl Ross turned his head indifferently, staring at the dance floor and took a sip of the red wine in his glass.

Three years ago, he had always preferred the type of blond boy and girl with blue eyes like Kylier, but, for some reason, facing Kylier...he always felt a sense of disobedience.

If it wasn't for the vague sense of uneasiness in his heart, he wouldn't have made false claims with him for such a long time in order to stabilize the bargaining chip sent by the Holy See.

That Kelier, who is obviously the holy son of the Holy See, always shows a humble love expression towards him, the kind of nobility and arrogance that can be easily pierced, compared with him... On the contrary, that young man is more like a holy man. son.

Thinking of that boy, Earl Ross couldn't help but tighten his fingers.

three years ago……

His subordinates came to report in a hurry, and said with panic that the boy who was under strict guard had disappeared. After he hurried over, he saw that the house was empty, with broken windows scattered all over the place, and that boy... seemed to have evaporated The same, disappeared under the guard of dozens of his cronies and elites.

Thinking of this, Earl Ross couldn't help but clenched his hand holding the wine glass tighter and tighter. Finally, with a "click", the glass was actually crushed by him.

The blood-colored wine flowed down the pale fingertips, and dripped on the carpet, as if blooming with evil blood flowers.

"Tsk." Earl Ross frowned, reached out and took out a white handkerchief from his jacket pocket, and wiped his palms carefully. Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.

Snow Mea, could it be that he has defected to the Holy See?Earl Ross's eyes widened suddenly.

If this is the case, then the loss of the Holy See is reduced, and the reason for the high-level surplus makes sense.Thinking flashed through the bloody eyes, Earl Ross waved to the waiters beside him, motioning them to clean up the mess on the ground, and then walked to the other side.

However, even if it has the ability to predict, it can only understand the actions of vampires in advance. What's more, as far as he knows, this ability is also limited. Not only can it not be used multiple times in a row, frequent use will also affect This is why their lifespan is never long.

Therefore, his actions can at most reduce the losses of the Holy See, but cannot reverse the entire situation of the war.

And...if Snow really took refuge in the Holy See, then, after he completely won, the young man who left him without permission could be left to his disposal.

Earl Ross narrowed his eyes dangerously, gently stroking the sparkling ruby ​​on the tail ring with his fingers, his eyes were dark and unclear.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a carriage rattling at the gate of the castle, and the iron wheels made a rhythmic sound on the cobblestones, which sounded quite loud.

The gentlemen and ladies who were chatting at the side frowned indistinctly. Who would dare to be late for the ball held by Earl Ross?

Only the waiter at the door announced the name of the visitor loudly:

"His Excellency Earl Zhou Bai has arrived!"
