After I collapsed, I became a succubus

silence.

silence.

A long silence ruled the entire banquet hall, and even the ladies stopped fanning the feather fans used to whitewash the peace.All eyes were fixed on that pen.

That man's name reappeared like a nightmare of shame.

Lucian was the only one who responded with ease.He raised his chin and looked at Vader, seeing that the other party also looked over, blinked, and said "grieved" in a breathy voice: "I didn't do it."

"I know."

Vader narrowed his scarlet eyes and frowned rarely.After a while, interest flashed in his eyes.

"Who is the donor?" The knight next to Cardinal Shirley asked the Duke of Houston anxiously after a brief blank, "Have you not reviewed it before? Although we have blurred Lucian's identity and fate to the public , but everyone who comes here is well aware of this. Could it be... Duke Sissel, he...?"

"Calm down, Clive." Shirley scolded him with a frown, "Duke Sissel is the last person to see this scene. He came to this dinner to restore the relationship with the Holy See on behalf of the Sissel family. Who will be here?" When is it time to bring over the things of that filthy demon seed that deceives the world?"

Clive shut his mouth, looking at Houston, wondering what he was going to do about it.After a long time, Houston took off the monocle lens, rubbed the bridge of his nose irritably and said, "Well, take it off..."

"It can't be withdrawn." Shelly said suddenly, "This is a provocation by someone with a heart to the Holy See and the nobles. Although I don't know how he did it, withdrawing it at this time will be the embarrassment and bowing of the Holy See—Holy The Holy See of Light admits that he was once framed and deceived by a bastard."

"But..." The housekeeper next to Houston wiped his sweat.

Houston closed his eyes and said, "Okay, continue."

He was stretching out his hand to signal to the stage, but an attendant came to his side and whispered something to him.After hearing these words, Houston looked back at Archduke Murphy in the crowd, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"What did Duke Murphy say?" Clive asked curiously.

Houston gave the butler a few words, and the butler hurried to the edge of the stage and whispered to the people there.It wasn't until the host returned to the stage that Houston put on his monocle and said with a smile: "Murphy said that being able to see through appearances that are difficult for ordinary people to see through and correct mistakes in time is also a sacred character."

Shelly also smiled reservedly, and he glanced at Murphy in the crowd with a slightly grateful look.

……

Small voices of discussion stirred up the crowd, and the host also returned to the stage at this time.He pushed the lens, and said to everyone in a heavy but emotional voice:

He first counted the glory: "In the past war, we defeated the haze and eliminated the evil..."

"Of course, with an iron-blooded attitude and firm belief that have never been seen in history, we caught the pests hidden in the highest place!"

The stage was still impassioned, and the host designated the quill as a trophy of the Holy See’s resolute protection of the human race, the courage to monitor the interior, and its strong and firm ability to eliminate demons, and emphasized its commemorative significance.Everyone in the audience listened silently, only Vader tapped his knees with his fingers and smiled softly: "They really dare to say."

Lucian looked back at him.

"A feat never before seen in history? Indeed, letting the illegitimate son of the succubus and the pope serve as the Holy Son for many years, and then betraying the demons and assassinating the pope in the battle between humans and demons is indeed a feat never before seen in history." .” Vader raised the corners of his lips mockingly.

After speaking, he also looked at Lucian.It's time to turn over the dark history, Lucian could only shrug his shoulders and said, "Thank you for praising me for being so good."

Vader's face was extremely ugly because of him.Lucian knew that he must have remembered the thing that killed him.

The auction for quills has finally gone on.Despite the host's efforts to speak out generously, no one is willing to bid and have anything to do with the dirty and vicious original owner of this unlucky pen.Under the signal of Cardinal Shirley, the knight Clive was about to raise his placard when the voice of Oliver, who had once pursued Elizabeth, came from a distance.

"A shilling for me," said Oliver sarcastically.

It's not so much a quote as a straight-up humiliation.A single unicorn feather on that quill alone probably cost more than a shilling.

He wanted to take this opportunity to take personal revenge on Elizabeth ignoring his pursuit and admiring Lucian instead.

"I'll pay you two shillings." Another person raised a placard. He also had a quarrel with Lucian, with a satirical smile on his lips.

The mark-ups for the rest of the auction items tonight often start at one gold pound.A gold pound is equal to 20 shillings.

"Three shillings." Elizabeth's brother also raised a placard to join in the fun, not because of the quarrel between him and Lucian, but purely because he hated the surname Sissel so much now.

"Four shillings." The flamboyant woman raised her sign.She is a beautiful widow who once wanted to have sex with the Son, but was rejected.

There were soft laughter resounding in the hall one after another.They appreciated the humiliating price increase and watched this rare excitement.There were also many people who frowned in pain, trying to suppress their emotions—they had admired Lucian, even though they now knew what he had done.A few nobles who admired Lucian wanted to bid the quill pen at a higher price on the spur of the moment, but they were either stopped by their family members or lost to their own cowardice.

"They are really outrageous, this..." Knight Clive cursed in a low voice.

"Forget it, who doesn't want to humiliate that traitor?" Cardinal Shirley's tone was leisurely, "It's not bad to be a sideshow."

The price was added shilling by shilling.Lucian yawned as the humiliated deceased protagonist, counting the people he had offended with great interest.

Until he heard Vader's voice: "That's your pen."

Lucian didn't know, so: "Yes."

In the midst of this farce that invites a chuckle or a fret, at last a voice speaks.

"Two thousand gold pounds."

The man raised his hand with an elegant posture, and his voice could be called gentle.All the voices stopped, and the nobles all turned their heads, looking at Vader sitting in the corner in shock.

That belongs to the emperor of the night.The one least likely to make a sound.

"Two, two thousand gold pounds?" Two thousand gold pounds was the final auction price for this pen, and it wasn't a shame.The host wiped his sweat, he didn't have time to think about how Wade would take pictures of Lucian's things, he could only fear that he would repent, and said: "The first time two thousand pounds—"

"Two thousand and one hundred gold pounds!"

Another voice came from the crowd.The voice came from Lord Edward Marquess.This aristocratic poet known for his money and talent was Lucian's suitor during his lifetime.It seemed that Invid had finally opened the door, and he couldn't restrain his heart anymore, and shouted.

After him, several former admirers of Lucian raised their bids.

"Two thousand and one hundred and fifty gold pounds!"

"2000 two hundred gold pounds!"

……

"Twenty-five hundred gold pounds!"

The reversal of the situation made the host almost dumbfounded.He hurriedly recorded the quotations of these people until he saw Vader's sign raised slowly again.

"Your Majesty," the host smiled flatteringly at him, "What is your offer this time?"

"Two questions. First, if I remember correctly, in this auction, the price increase cannot exceed five thousand pounds, right?"

"Yes, this is to avoid vicious competition..."

"Second question," Vader said slowly, "What is the auction item with the highest price tonight?"

"It's the emerald necklace that belongs to the Holy Queen Olivia that you photographed, Tears of the Forest Goddess." The host hurriedly said, "The transaction price is [-] gold pounds."

"Okay." Vader said.

He Shi Shiran raised the sign and said, "Seven thousand gold pounds."

Marquis Edward was about to speak, but he saw Wade holding up his placard again and said, "Twelve thousand gold pounds."

"Seventeen thousand gold pounds."

"Twenty-two thousand pounds," he went on.

The banquet hall fell into dead silence, and everyone was shocked by Vader's gesture.

He was bidding against himself... the highest price for that quill that belonged to Lucian Sissel?

Vader only raised his card, his posture was elegant, but there was a cold smile on his lips.His voice is gentle and gentle, and every time he exports it, he raises the price of the quill pen by five thousand.Obviously no one bid with him, or dared to bid with him, but he raised his cards again and again, as if abiding by the rules of the auction house, and only added [-] each time.

Everyone was forced to hear only his voice, trembling in the eardrums.

It was as if sharp knives pierced through the window paper one after another.

This kind of behavior doesn't seem abrupt to him, it just makes people tremble because of his moodiness.

"Madman..." Green trembled, "This lunatic..."

He dared not speak.

Finally, when the price rose to [-] gold pounds, they saw Vader put the bidding cards in his hands into the hands of his lover in white.

"Lucien, for the last time, you lift it up." Wade whispered in his ear, "Take a picture of it."

"Why would I do this?"

Lucian looked at him coldly.After seeing Vader's crazy behavior, his pretense of laziness since he came in finally disappeared, replaced by absolute guard: "Vad, what do you want to do?"

Vader smiled lowly, his shoulders trembling from his laughter, the nobles in the distance couldn't hear their conversation, they could only panic at Vader's sudden almost crazy behavior and the sudden rising sense of oppression.Finally, Wade stroked Lucian's chin with his thumb, and said in a low voice: "Lucian, your things cannot be sold to others, and you must not sell them cheaply."

"why?"

"You are the adopted son of the Sissel family, and I am the only heir of the Sissel family, Lucian." Vader said, "Duke Sissel said, inheriting the family will inherit its glory and glory. everything. Lucian, you are my inherited property—including everything related to you."

Lucian looked at him with sharp glass splinters in his eyes.Vader smiled lowly, he stuffed the cards into Lucian's palm, held his hand, raised it up, and said to everyone:

"One hundred and twelve thousand pounds." He looked at the host politely, "Can we make a deal now?"

The whole house was silent, only the heart was in an uproar.The host trembled and said, "Okay, okay."

He was busy asking the clerk to record today's auction, and tried his best to fix the monocle, but found that he was holding the wrong eye.

Cardinal Shirley and Houston looked extremely ugly.Only Grand Duke Murphy touched his chin and smiled enigmatically.

There was still no Duke Sissel in the crowd.

……

A charity dinner to raise funds for the sanctuary's restoration ended up with the highest price for a relic of Lucian, the demon seed who deceitfully revealed the foolishness of the Holy See.This is really the biggest joke in the world.

After the auction was over, the rest of the nobles were still enjoying the aftertaste of toasting in the hall.Lucian, wearing three cards in his hand, followed Vader to get what he got.When walking to the corridor, Lucian said coldly to Vader: "You are so boring."

"Thanks for the compliment." Vader was in a good mood.

Lucian got the three priceless treasures from the attendants.Now everyone knows that Vader, a tyrant, dotes on his concubine to the extreme, so everyone respects him.

Lucian was even more unhappy because of this.

He hated being considered Vader's property.

He handed the treasure to one of his attendants and asked him to hold it.After returning to the banquet hall, Vader was chatting with Archduke Murphy, Houston, and Bishop Shirley.Bishop Shirley had to thank His Majesty the Emperor for his generosity to the Holy See, and grovel before his formerly envied peers.And Vader smiled leisurely.

"You're welcome. Do you still remember Bishop Oliver who ran away? The money originally belonged to him." Wade said, "Don't forget to pay your taxes. Clerics are not allowed to operate, Bishop Shirley, your plantation is very good .”

Bishop Shirley's face was so ugly that he could drip water.

Oh, it turns out that the wool comes from the sheep.Not only that, Vader wants to get the money back.

Lucian sat quietly beside him as a vase.He knew that Murphy and the others had been sneaking glances at him, and that knight Clive had been looking at him thoughtfully, as if thinking of something.

But he didn't care about him.Now he was somehow distraught.Besides, the mask has been on his face all the time, maybe because his skin is too delicate now, it makes his face itchy.

Then he saw someone coming in from the door.As soon as the man entered, he was greeted by the gentlemen and ladies near the door.

It was a dark-haired, middle-aged but still handsome nobleman.The nobleman raised his hand and answered them with a gentle smile.

His adoptive uncle, Vader's father...

Dalton Sissel.

As the head of one of the oldest families, Duke Sissel is quite personable.He is a schemer and ostensibly Lucian's loving adoptive father.

It's just that the direction he is walking now is obviously towards Vader.Lucian remembered that he now wanted Vader to restore relations with the Sissel family.

He also knew that Duke Sissel would recognize him.But Lucian cared more about his face at this time.

"I want to go out and get some air." Lucian whispered.Vader glanced at him, and unexpectedly agreed to him.

However, he also asked his attendants to go with Lucian.That man was silent and tall, much more reliable than the previous Calvin.

Lucian and Duke Sissel walked in opposite directions among the crowd.The gate of the banquet hall cut off the bustle.He washed his face in the bathroom, watching the water drip down his cheeks.

Just as he left the bathroom and walked towards the banquet hall, he heard a girl's voice behind him.

"Lu... Xi'an," the girl's voice trembled, "is that you?"
