Leon gave an awkward laugh.
“My mother and I will leave together, and my aunt will take over the castle during this time.”
Philippa suddenly said seriously, "You must be careful of her."
Auntie?
Could it be that beautiful woman who was just standing next to Leticia?
Leon was puzzled and was about to ask when Dieter made a very annoying voice from outside the door, "Miss, Madam wants you to hurry up."
Tell Mother I'm coming down right away.
Philippa responded. They communicated in Night Talk.
"Teacher, I need to change my clothes."
Philippa looked at Leon.
OK,
You can change it.
I'll just stand here with my eyes closed.
I promise I won't peek!
I swear in Daniel's name!
After mentally complaining for a moment, Leon left with a serious expression.
Under Dieter's watchful eye, Leon descended the steps and returned to his room.
After changing her clothes, Philippa left with Leticia, so for the time being, she would no longer be bound by Philippa, but at the same time, she also lost Philippa's protection.
Philippa, who will return from Moonlight City seven days later, should already possess the power of the Embrace. If she hasn't escaped the castle by then, she will likely become a vampire.
In that case, the blood flowing through Leon's veins would be that of Philippa, and no longer the blood of the Hoyle royal family of the Fchester Empire.
Therefore, he should only be the Crown Prince of the Fchester Empire in name and in fact.
hiss!
This must be Leon's true intention.
Choose to throw yourself into the vampire territory.
Even if I survive by sheer luck,
Then there is a very high chance that they will be assimilated into vampires.
it is good……
What a vicious heart!
Wow, Leon, you're such a good little brother.
Leon felt increasingly cold as he thought about it.
I wonder what the political situation is like in Guberland now.
That's it,
Let's get out of here first.
But now, there's absolutely no chance to escape.
There's a place in the castle where sealed items are kept, and it seems that only Renas can open it, as can be seen from the scene where Philippa tells Renas to come back and open the door.
So it seems I have no choice but to deal with Reinas.
But how do you win over a man?
I don't know anything about him at all, and he's not even in the original anime.
Leon was a complete stranger to Renas, only knowing that she was Aunt Philippa's lover.
Aunt Philippa's male lover...
Perhaps we could start with Aunt Philippa?
P.S.: Helena and Leon were drawn using AI. Also, regarding that "Cutest Girl" contest, could you please help me vote for Leon in the male category? It would be so much fun if I could make it onto the leaderboard! (>o<)
Chapter Twenty-Six: Inescapable Fate
Just as Leon expected.
after dinner,
He was then summoned by the castle's "new owner" to a room in the castle he had never been to before.
As soon as he entered the room, Leon saw the beautiful woman with long, slightly wavy silver hair and blue eyes who had been standing next to Leticia earlier that day.
At this moment, she was wearing a uniform skirt with a lace-trimmed tie and a white gauze jacket, sitting in front of the dressing table, fiddling with the sapphire earrings on her earlobes that perfectly matched her blue eyes.
“I’ve looked into it. Your name is Daniel, right? You were sent to the castle a few days ago. You’re from Fchester and you’re good at writing poetry and playing the piano… Having those skills makes it easy for you to keep that little girl Philippa happy.”
Just as Leon was trying to figure out how to start the conversation, the other person spoke first.
Uh, this...
Leon was stunned.
It seems this woman in front of her has taken the time to inquire about her.
But why would she inquire about someone as insignificant as herself, a prisoner?
Perhaps it's because I'm too close to Philippa.
Philippa is the heir to the castle.
The woman in front of them was Leticia's sister.
Isn't this equivalent to me being with the regent?
It's just that the genders have been switched.
"I'm hesitating, I'm wondering whether these earrings or these two would look better on me. I like them both, what do you think—which one looks better on me?"
Philippa, the sister-in-law, smiled at Leon in a very familiar manner. At this moment, she was holding two earrings in her left and right hands, which were not much different in style, one blue and the other red.
You can wear red in one ear and green in the other!
Do you understand what "non-mainstream" means?
Leon thought to himself, but of course he couldn't talk to his sister-in-law Philippa like that.
"In this world, it is impossible for two things to be liked the same. There will always be one that you like more. I think, Your Excellency, you should already know the answer in your heart."
After thinking for a moment, Leon replied.
Of course, he couldn't just say which one looked better. What if his sister-in-law, Philippa, was some kind of madwoman who thought blue was prettier than red and then thought red was so cute, and asked why he didn't like red, and then dragged him out and killed him? Wouldn't he be unjustly killed?
"Hmm...that's true, but sometimes you have the answer, you know which one you like better, but you still find it hard to make a decision because both are important."
Philippa's sister-in-law smiled helplessly, "It's just like your left and right eyes. If you have to give up one, it's hard to do, isn't it?"
That's quite difficult to do.
But why are you telling me all this?
Tsk,
It seems someone has ulterior motives.
"Yes, it's difficult."
Leon smiled wryly, "I'm rather slow-witted and don't know what Ms. Cooper is trying to say. Please speak plainly."
"No, you misunderstood. I didn't mean anything by it. I just have trouble making choices and wanted to know which one Mr. Daniel would prefer, blue or red."
Ms. Cooper smiled gently, "But actually, there's no point in worrying about it. After all, it's just a matter of whether you wear it first or last, since both the red and blue ones are mine."
Tsk,
This female vampire...
It shouldn't be possible, right?
Is she trying to steal Philippa's boyfriend?
That shouldn't be necessary!
Ugh,
I can only blame my damned, irresistible charm.
As a man with high emotional intelligence, Leon actually understood what Ms. Cooper meant.
Her eyes were blue, while Philippa's eyes were red.
The blue and red earrings represent her and Philippa, respectively.
Then, she asked herself whether blue or red was better...
She was testing herself.
This woman truly lives to be over 100 years old.
Feel……
It seems even more difficult to escape on my own now.
"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Shalin, and I am Leticia's sister and the second mistress of this castle. Leticia and Philippa are away these days, so you have to listen to me."
Charlene brushed the strands of hair from her forehead behind her ears, then took off her earrings and stood up.
Like Leticia, she is a mature woman who is 1.7 meters tall.
Both her mother and aunt are 1.7 meters tall, so why is Philippa only 1.5 meters tall?
That doesn't make much sense.
Are you sure they're biologically related?
Leon had actually had this question on his mind for a while.
"What—am I beautiful?"
Charlene giggled.
"Ah... I'm sorry, Ms. Sharon."
Leon was just pondering whether Philippa was Leticia's biological daughter, so he didn't react immediately.
However, the vampire seemed to mistakenly believe that he was attracted to her beauty.
"Don't call me 'old lady,' it makes me sound really old. Although I am Philippa's elder, I don't look that old, do I?"
Charlene pouted, her young and pretty face making her look like a wronged young girl.
However, Leon knew that she was at least a hundred years old, and had more than nine male lovers...
“I understand, Miss Sharon.”
Leon very sensibly changed his tune.
"So, Miss Sharon, is there something you need from me to come to your room?"
Leon clutched the silver cross tightly to his pocket.
What do you and Philippa usually do?
With a smile, Shalin walked to the large white bed not far from the dressing table.
"You can do it with me!"
As Shalin sat down, a few strands of hair drifted down between her eyebrows. Just then, she blinked, and suddenly exuded a seductive charm.
It has to be said, no wonder she's a vampire who's lived to be a triple digit and slept with countless men, she's incredibly good at flirting.
They're very experienced.
