Chapter 130 The eldest prince is getting married (9)
Neve looked at Sidse nervously. She fled to the door of the restaurant and tried to open it.
But the restaurant door had already been locked.
"You can't escape." Sidse walked leisurely to Neve's side, his light blue eyes gradually turned blood red.
Neve's eyes widened and her hands quickly covered her neck.
"Hahaha, do you think I can't suck your blood if you cover your neck?" Sidse found Neve's reaction very funny.
Neve pursed her lips, "What do you care about me!"
"I can stop sucking your blood unless you promise me one thing." Sidse raised his hand and trapped Neve at the door of the restaurant.
The distance between them shortened, and Neve could smell the scent of roses coming from Sidse.
Neve looked up at him and realized that Sidse's eyelashes were very long and light golden. Beneath his eyelashes were blood-red eyes. Now Sidse looked like a vampire.
"What's going on?" Neve leaned against the restaurant door, thinking to herself, isn't this just a wall-dong? When did she and Sidse become so intimate?
Sidse smiled, lowered his head slightly and stared at Neveu, "You will be a maid in my castle for the rest of your life."
"No! My parents will worry about me." Neve frowned slightly, her brown eyes reflecting Sidse's handsome face.
Sidse's smile widened, with a hint of amusement. "After returning to the castle, I allow you to write a letter to your family. After that, you must sever ties with them and live in the castle for the rest of your life."
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Neve just felt that she was so unlucky. Why did she have to meet a pervert like Sids?
But she had no way to escape now, so she could only pretend to agree to him.
"Okay. I'll go back to the castle with you." Neve seemed to have lost all the strength to resist, and she said as if she accepted her fate.
Seeing Neve like this, Sidse suddenly felt a little annoyed.
This woman shouldn't have given in like this, she should have continued to oppose him. Sidse no longer had the heart to tease Neve.
"Tsk, alright alright, I'll let you go tonight. In two days, we'll set off for Croft Castle."
Croft Castle is the ancient castle that Siddes has been talking about, located in the southern coastal area.
They are now in the central area of the continent, and Neve's home is in the north.
After Neve returned to her room, she threw herself heavily on the bed, her eyes a little confused.
She didn't really understand why Sidse treated her like this. If it was out of love, Neve thought it was impossible. She had been pursued by boys in her previous life, and if Sidse liked her, he wouldn't be so perverted.
Besides, her father was once a vampire hunter. If Sidse hated hunters, he would not keep her.
Not to mention taking her to Croft Castle.
Niffe guessed that maybe Sidse was interested in her, like raising an unfamiliar kitten.
When Sidse gets tired of her, she will be discarded like garbage.
Neve clenched her fist, raised her hand and raised her middle finger towards the ceiling.
Instead of doing this, she might as well find a chance to escape on the way there.
It would be even better if we could find a vampire hunter's guild.
But she knew very little about this matter.
The next day when the sky was bright.
Gu Chang and his companions had already changed to another large carriage with good light-blocking properties.
The coachman also changed into a white uniform and sat in the front of the carriage.
Cedric was sleeping lightly on Gu Chang's shoulder.
Gu Chang calculated that if he traveled day and night, it would take three days and three nights to reach the royal city.
When he returned to the royal city this time, the first thing he did was to contact Anna.
He remembered that Anna had many shops in the royal city, and he could ask someone to deliver a message to the people in the shops.
But now, he had to fill his stomach first.
Yakar County—This was a prosperous town. Due to its unique terrain, many merchants passed through it on their way to trade. Yakar County gradually developed related industries, offering a variety of delicious food and inns, allowing passing caravans to stop and rest.
At around ten in the morning, the carriage stopped in front of a luxuriously decorated restaurant, also one of the vampire clan's businesses.
When Gu Chang got off the carriage, he had already taken off the "Silver Drop" on his chest and placed it in his personal space.
Because of the special nature of "Silver Fall", it would not be good if it were just flaunted in public.
As soon as Gu Chang got off the carriage, a servant in a suit saluted him respectfully.
Then, led by the servant, Gu Chang entered the restaurant.
The attendant asked Gu Chang if there was anything he should avoid eating, and Gu Chang shook his head.
There was a menu on the table. Gu Chang looked at the names of the dishes on the menu and thought they were all acceptable.
So Gu Chang ordered some at random.
While waiting, Gu Chang stared at the big clock on the wall with some boredom.
Suddenly someone walked up to him, and Gu Chang turned his head to look.
He is a fat businessman with a big beard.
"Excuse me, are you Prince Helain Gabriel?" the merchant asked cautiously. "I am a merchant from the royal city. My name is Nix Tanglia."
Gu Chang smiled and motioned him to sit on the chair next to him, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Knicks breathed a sigh of relief. He almost thought he had recognized the wrong person. He didn't expect that this young man was really the Fifth Prince.
If his daughter had not collected many portraits of the five princes, he might not have been able to recognize them.
"It's like this, respected king..." Knicks was halfway through his words when Gu Chang raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't address me like that outside. Please forgive my difficulty." Since he was a merchant from the Royal City, Nix must have known what happened. Gu Chang didn't want to attract too much attention here. He had assumed that Yakar County was far from the Royal City, and few would recognize his face.
Nix suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, sir."
"Thank you, Mr. Nix. Please continue." Gu Chang smiled.
Looking at the young man before him, Nix felt that Gu Chang must have had a rough time these past few years, as he had become thinner. After all, it had been two years since the rumor began. He had also endured the torment of illness during this time, which was painful for the prince.
"I want to know, is the reason you returned to the royal city this time because Prince Rotus is getting married?" Nix said hesitantly.
Lotus is getting married? Gu Chang really didn't know about this.
"It's with the noble lady who spread rumors about you, Miss Fenina Valenas."
Gu Chang, “…”
The system was also surprised when it heard this. After the marriage, wouldn't Finina become the sister-in-law?
Isn't this embarrassing...
"Thank you for telling me this." Gu Chang kept smiling.
Almost everyone in the royal city knew that Lotus was a playboy, and no one would marry their daughter to such a man, even if he was the eldest prince who could inherit the throne.
Because Lotus already had many mistresses, some of whom had obtained considerable titles because of Lotus's connections. Marrying their daughter to him would not only mean that the family would side with Lotus, but their daughter would also have to deal with so many troublesome mistresses.
Not all women are as magnanimous as the queen.
But Lotus has a bad reputation, and whether he can succeed to the throne smoothly depends on his three sisters.
The second princess, Freya, is young and promising. She has always performed well in politics and has many families supporting her.
The third princess, Claire, was an eccentric person who hosted many balls. Every time she attended a ball, the dress she wore would become the latest fashion sought after by noble ladies and young ladies.
The fourth princess, Lilia, was weak and sickly since childhood, but she was very talented in painting. For this reason, her mother invited a famous master to teach her.
Both Lotos and Freya were born to the queen, and Lotos was seven years older than Freya.
The other two princesses were born to the king's mistresses.
The queen could not bear to see the royal bloodline shed outside, so she allowed the biological mother of the two princesses to live in the palace.
Many noble ladies admired the queen's generosity, but there was nothing she could do about the philandering king.
Nicks looked at Gu Chang with a worried look on his face. The Fifth Prince was only about twenty years old. If it weren't for that rumor, the Fifth Prince's supporters would have been even more numerous.
Unfortunately, some people still believe that the Fifth Prince left the palace due to illness because his affair was discovered and he was too embarrassed to stay there.
"I hope everything goes well for you when you go back. Those rumors are just out of jealousy of you, you don't have to mind them." Nix had a good impression of the prince. When Heline was still in the royal city, his daughter never spent money indiscriminately and only bought Heline peripherals.
Ever since Helain left the royal city, his daughter had begun to spend more on clothes and accessories. It wasn't that Nix didn't support his daughter's clothing purchases. It was just that the closets were overflowing, and her large skirts were hanging everywhere. There was simply no room left, so even his closet had started to display skirts.
His daughter said that since Heinlein is no longer around, she can only support Heinlein in disguise by buying the same items as the princess.
In this regard, Nicks just hopes that his daughter will buy less.
At least don't use up all the family money while he's out on business.
Because his wife died early, Knicks is particularly doting on his only daughter.
Gu Chang smiled and said gently, "Thank you. Do you want to have dinner together?"
"No, I have to get going. Enjoy your meal." Nix smiled and waved his hand. He had come here to chat. It was a good thing for him that the Fifth Prince could return to the royal city again.
Gu Chang stood up, sent Nix out of the restaurant, and then sat back in his seat.
"System, when will Lotus' wedding be held?" Gu Chang asked.
After the system query, it said: "Five days later."
Gu Chang thought for a moment, and after seeing the delicious food being served, he felt that it was more important to fill his stomach first.
The family of the noble lady Finina Valenas was promoted from baron to viscount by her father because of Lotus's relationship.
Gu Chang was not worried about the rumors, he was a little curious about the black witch.
That day, when the original owner returned.
The witch in a black robe appeared in front of the carriage, holding a transparent crystal ball in her hand.
At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.
The curse appeared on the original owner in the blink of an eye.
If Lotus once again finds the black witch to curse Gu Chang, Gu Chang feels that he still has to make some countermeasures.
He could start by asking Cedric what he knew about the curse.
