Chapter 123 Playing with the King of the Blood Clan 16
Chapter 123 Playing with the King of the Blood Clan 16
There was only one knight in plain clothes guarding the palace gate.
Qiao Chu walked straight over. She wanted to see what the man who had bewitched the heroine so much that he was willing to charge into the castle looked like.
Couldn't she be prettier than Troy?
It’s not that Zuo Liu and Raines aren’t handsome enough, but from a style perspective, Troy is the closest to a knight, and he always has a decent aura.
When the knight at the door saw Qiao Chu, he was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and saluted.
"Miss Qiao...you're back."
Qiao Chu asked suspiciously, "Are you familiar with me?"
The knights come from all walks of life, but those who pass the assessment and enter the Knights Templar are the ones that common people can only look up to.
Before going to the castle, Qiao Chu was Vivian's maid and probably didn't know any knights.
This also coincides with what is given in the plot - Vivian returned to the temple, and Covel's subordinates took the initiative to inquire about Qiao Chu's whereabouts.
Fan Tong: [The host is quite clever when doing the mission seriously~ Congratulations on triggering the hidden identity - the abandoned blood hunting princess]
You should have been a precious royal princess, but the queen didn't want you to become a saint and be sent to the vampire castle. So she sent you out of the palace and gave you to a commoner couple for adoption.
The Earl trained you to be Vivian's secret guard, but during training you met the handsome Kovir and joined the Blood Hunters with him.
[Trigger Quest: Obtain the Blood of the Vampire King and Save Childhood Friend Kovir]
Qiao Chu's mouth twitched slightly. [Are you sure they are acquaintances? It wasn't arranged by the royal family?]
Fan Tong smirked: [Hehehe, as expected, nothing can be hidden from the host. Kovir fought the vampires to the death to prevent the Temple from sending the host into the castle. Are you moved?]
Qiao Chu: [……]
Damn it, I shouldn’t have wandered around if I had known.
The meaning of triggering a task is that you don’t have to do it if it is not triggered.
But correspondingly, you will be rewarded with more points if you do it.
Qiao Chu did enjoy teasing the three vampires, but teasing is teasing, and there is a difference between that and stabbing someone in the heart.
The queen did not want her daughter to be sacrificed to the vampires, but the royal family secretly trained Qiao Chu to be an outstanding blood hunter.
It is obvious that power is more sought after by the nobles than family affection.
So is Covel dying or is he faking his illness?
Was he devoted to the original owner, unwilling to let her go to the castle as a blood slave? Or was he trying to force the original owner's fighting spirit into risking her life to obtain his blood?
Qiao Chu walked into the inner hall and saw a tall man lying on the bed.
Kovel had neat short pure golden hair, which had not been taken care of during his illness and was piled slightly messy at the back of his head.
His facial features were white and cold, his lips were dark blue, and his eyebrows were deep and three-dimensional like a Greek stone statue. He was handsome, yet seemed broken and weak.
The flickering candlelight fell on him, as if it had become holy and pure.
The torn wound on his chest was not bandaged, and thick black smoke was leaking out of it. It was the spell damage caused by the vampire, which was constantly eroding his remaining life.
Qiao Chu sighed, "I don't think he'll last more than half a month. Where can I find blood for him?"
Although he said he was going to give up, Qiao Chu still used some of his strength to protect his heart meridians, so that he could survive for at least a month.
Not knowing how the law enforcement team did things, Qiao Chu didn't wait for the news that the Earl's family was thrown into jail. Seeing that it was getting late, she went to sleep first.
When I woke up the next day, the Dead King came to my door.
Following behind him were the Earl and Countess, as well as Vivian, who was covered by a veil.
The moment he saw Qiao Chu appear, the king's face changed slightly and he looked at Earl Steve with displeasure.
"Is this the slave you were talking about, the one who murdered the Saint and then escaped?"
Poor Earl Steve had no idea where the king's anger came from. He just thought the king was worried about the diplomatic relations between the two races.
He quickly pointed at Qiao Chu's nose and cursed, "That's right! She was the one who killed my Vivian. Otherwise, Vivian would have been favored and become a true vampire!"
Earl Steve knew that the king was in a high position of power and was both afraid of the vampires' strength and eager to obtain their power.
So he exaggerated Qiao Chu's mistakes as much as possible, creating the illusion that Vivian was very favored in the castle, but gave up halfway because she was disfigured by Qiao Chu.
Qiao Chu really didn't know what to say. What the king wanted was either to kill the leader of the vampires or to transform into a vampire and bring him immortality.
Vivian failed to accomplish either of these two things, but she had the opportunity to accomplish both.
and--
Qiao Chu stepped forward and saluted the king with a dignified face.
"Father, I want to thank you for personally escorting this guilty subject to the Temple. As a token of my gratitude, how about I treat you to a meal in honor of your abdication?"
The hall was completely silent.
Earl Steve was stunned on the spot, then rushed forward to express his loyalty, "You lowly slave! How dare you usurp the throne? I will kill you today to enforce justice!"
Click.
The sound of bones breaking echoed in the empty hall.
Qiao Chu threw away Earl Steve, whose neck was broken, as if he was throwing away garbage.
She looked at the king with a cold gaze and stretched out her slender pink right hand towards him. "Hand over the King's Scepter, my dear father."
It was that hand that had easily crushed Steve to death, and no one even saw how she moved.
The king stared at the lifeless Steve in horror, and handed over the scepter with trembling hands.
He arranged for Covel to carefully train and teach this adopted daughter, but his real plan was to let her join the Blood Hunter Organization and help him stabilize the overall situation!
The Empire's worship and flattery of the vampires is becoming more and more intense, and the king is always worried that blood hunting organizations of all sizes will rise up.
Unexpectedly, no matter how careful he was, he could not guard against thieves within his own family, and in the end, power was seized by his daughter, whom he cared least about.
Unexpectedly, when Qiao Chu got the king's scepter, not only did no one oppose her going on stage, but there was cheering and praise.
This is the charm of people relying on the power of ghosts. Even though they are invisible and intangible, the timid nobles still submit to the vampires behind Qiao Chu.
As for the civilians, they naturally supported Qiao Chu wholeheartedly. After all, the slavery law, which had never been changed for thousands of years, was completely abolished by her.
Qiao Chu threw the Countess and Vivian into prison and ordered the jailers to torture them severely, but not to kill them, and to torture them for at least three years.
That was the period of suffering the original owner had to endure in the dungeon of the vampire castle.
After dealing with these troubles with lightning speed, Qiao Chu rushed back to the castle.
But on the way, she thought of a fatal problem.
Zuo Liu can read minds.
It would have been fine if she didn't know before, but now that she knows that her identity is the Blood Hunter and she wants to take their heart blood, she absolutely can't hide it.
I'm going to die anyway, and since my main mission is completed, I might as well go back to the palace and enjoy life as a princess.
As for Kovir...
I would rather die than let my friend die. This time... shouldn't I save him?
