Chapter 153 Believe in You (9)
Chapter 153 Believe in You (9)
After Cedric brought Gu Chang to his residence in the royal city, he was about to leave through the window.
Gu Chang grabbed Cedric's wrist and asked, "Where are you going?"
"A Chang, I have to stay as far away from you as possible now, otherwise I might not be able to control myself. I'm afraid I'll suck all your blood." Cedric suppressed his bloodthirsty desire, frowned, and spoke with difficulty.
While Gu Chang tried his best to soothe Cedric's tense body, he was looking for antidotes or something in the system mall.
The system hesitated and said, "Master Host, is it possible that he will really suck all your blood?"
"Let him suck me, I'm sure he won't suck me dry." Gu Chang was worried that if Cedric went out like this, he would most likely be discovered by the vampire hunters in the city. That would cause unnecessary trouble.
At least, he had to be by Cedric's side. He couldn't let Cedric face unknown dangers alone.
Gu Chang ripped open his cuffs, rolled up his sleeves, and put his arm to Cedric's lips, "Dear, if you want to suck blood, come and suck me."
"No..." Cedric turned his face away. He almost showed his fangs just now.
Gu Chang simply pulled Cedric into the bathroom and said, "Wait here for a while." Then Gu Chang closed the bathroom door first.
He came to the rope to which the bell was tied and rang it.
The room connected to the bell is the room where Andrew rests.
When Andrew rushed upstairs, he saw Gu Chang covered in blood. "Your Highness?! What happened to you? Where is His Royal Highness?"
"Andrew, I can't explain it to you clearly now. Please go and prepare the water for bathing, the sooner the better." After Gu Chang finished speaking, although Andrew didn't understand what he was going to do for a moment, he still went to the boiler room to boil water.
Gu Chang took off his bloodstained coat and opened the bathroom door.
Cedric leaned against the wall, his face seemed a little red.
Gu Chang blinked, but still put his arm to Cedric's lips, "It's okay, Cedric. I believe you can control yourself."
Cedric's bloodshot pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw obvious blood vessels beneath the delicate skin.
His Adam's apple slid up and down. He hadn't eaten for a long time.
"It's okay, dear." Gu Chang touched the top of Cedric's head and sat down on the ground with his knees bent.
Sharp fangs gradually revealed themselves, and Cedric raised his eyes to look at Gu Chang.
Gu Chang was not afraid of his appearance, and there seemed to be some pity for him in his eyes.
In the end, Cedric bit it, but he controlled himself and used less force.
Gu Chang could feel the pain when the fangs pierced into the flesh.
Soon, all he could feel was Cedric's sucking.
Gu Chang didn't know how to describe the feeling of having his blood sucked.
After a while, the system reminded Gu Chang, "Host, you are about to be sucked dry."
"Not really." Gu Changgang felt the picture in front of him darken as soon as he finished talking to the system.
Gu Chang, “…”
Fortunately, Cedric stopped and licked the wound on Gu Chang's forearm, as if he was still a little unsatisfied.
"You shouldn't take such a risk." Cedric's voice was hoarse and full of satisfaction.
Gu Chang blinked and said, "I believe you."
Then Gu Chang's eyes went dark and his head fell into Cedric's arms.
Cedric looked at the unconscious Gu Chang, feeling helpless and distressed.
When Gu Chang woke up the next day, he looked at the ceiling carved with patterns and couldn't remember where he was.
"Your Highness. Are you feeling better?" Zephiel's voice sounded beside him.
Gu Chang turned his head to look at the bedside and asked in surprise, "Zefeier, why are you here? Where is this?"
Zephir sat on a chair nearby. He was obviously more surprised by Gu Chang's question. "This is the residence of that prince. His Royal Highness said that he came to ask you to go out and play last night, but you drank too much and stayed here to sleep. Because it was too late, he didn't tell Princess Anna, so Princess Anna asked me to come and take care of you. Your Highness, don't you know what happened last night?"
Gu Chang, “…I don’t know.”
"How much did you drink? I don't smell any alcohol at all." Zefeier looked at Gu Chang with some suspicion.
Gu Chang coughed lightly, not knowing how to explain this problem. Because the original owner was a heavy drinker.
"Forget it. If Your Highness doesn't want to talk about it, I won't ask." Zephir narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled, and then changed the subject. "You may not know yet, but His Majesty the King passed away last night. According to the will, Prince Rots should have succeeded to the throne. But Prince Rots disappeared. Saminos and his men searched for Prince Rots in the royal city for a long time, but they couldn't find him. Now the palace is busy preparing for the king's funeral, and the Knights are also busy looking for Prince Rots."
Zephir was originally going to help find Prince Rotos, but Saminos thought Zephir was on Gu Chang's side and was afraid that he would kill Rotos after finding him. So Saminos drove Zephir away and didn't let him get involved.
At this moment, the people who were monitoring Zephir were still waiting for Zephir outside the house.
"Where is his wife, Finina?" Gu Changjian saw Zefeier no longer asking questions and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
When Finina was mentioned, Zephir frowned and sighed, "Alas, Lady Finina committed suicide."
"Before she died, she wrote a suicide note, revealing all the dirty deeds of the Lund and Valenas families. Her letter was delivered to the Queen by Prince Rotus's butler, Charles. Originally, not many people knew about this, but someone sent letters to members of other families, and now everyone in the royal city knows."
After Zefeier finished speaking, he asked Gu Chang, "Your Highness, would you like to have lunch?"
Gu Chang nodded slightly, then watched Zephir get up and leave the room.
Gu Chang looked at the clock hanging on the wall and frowned slightly.
I actually slept until after eleven o'clock in the morning.
Gu Chang threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and went to wash up.
While he washed up, Zephyr helped Andrew put lunch on the table.
"Andrew, what weapon are you best at?" Zephir was still very happy to see Andrew again.
"Bow and arrow." Andrew answered simply.
Zephir's eyes lit up, "Andrew, were you a hunter before?"
Andrew, who was arranging the tableware, was a little reluctant to deal with the young man. He was originally the one serving the prince, and it was enough for him to just do this job well.
But Zephir clearly wanted to be friends with him.
Andrew turned his head to look at Zephir and said, "Young man, I don't like to talk about my past with others. I just want to do my own thing. You should also concentrate on your own thing."
Zephir blinked. It seemed that Andrew didn't want to be friends with him.
But it doesn't matter. Andrew rejected him now, but maybe he won't refuse him in the future.
When Gu Chang arrived at the restaurant, he felt that Zephir was a little excited.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Chang asked him.
Zephir shook his head. "Nothing, Your Highness. Please have lunch."
"Don't you want to eat?" Gu Chang pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm not hungry." Zephir said with a smile.
"Then sit next to me. I want to know what happened last night." Gu Chang gestured to Zefei to sit on his left.
Based on Zephiel's previous words, Gu Chang guessed that the reason for Lotus's disappearance was probably due to a curse. When Cedric returned, he would know whether his guess was correct.
"Please ask, Your Highness. As long as I know, I will tell you." Zephir said solemnly.
"Has the will been published?" Gu Chang asked.
Zephir nodded. "It has been announced. The will states that the successor is the first in line to the throne. If Prince Lotus cannot be found, then Princess Freya will be next in line."
"Okay, I've finished asking questions. Zephir, you go ahead and do your work. I'm going to have lunch." Gu Chang smiled slightly and started cutting the steak on the plate with a knife and fork.
Zephir, "..." He thought Gu Chang had a lot of questions to ask him.
In the palace where the queen lives.
Queen Sylvia sat in the living room with a gloomy face. She stared at Freya who was drinking tea and asked, "Hasn't Lotus been found yet?"
Freya put down the teacup in her hand and said helplessly, "Mother, Saminos has brought people to search every corner of the royal city, even every stream, but he still can't find my brother."
"Freya, if your brother Rotus is not found, the empire will fall into panic." Sylvia frowned. Even when she was sitting on the sofa, she had a thin blanket covering her thighs.
"Don't worry, mother. The empire won't fall into panic." Freya curled her lips slightly. "Father's will made it very clear. Even without Rotus, I'm still here."
"You?" Queen Sylvia narrowed her eyes slightly. "Freya, you know where your brother Lotus is, right?"
"I don't know." Freya smelled the faint scent of floral tea, which reminded her of Claire.
She prefers the aroma of floral tea to the slightly bitter taste of coffee.
"Freya!" Sylvia slapped the sofa beside her, "The throne belongs to your brother!"
"Mother seems confused. Someone, come and take her back to her room." Freya stood up and waved to the maids standing beside her.
Queen Silvia looked at the unfamiliar faces of the maids and realized that everyone around her was gone.
"Freya, I am your mother! You can't imprison your mother!" Queen Silvia remained calm. She sat on the sofa, and even when the maids came to her side, she still maintained the demeanor of a queen.
"I've always listened to you. You told me to support Lotus and let him sit on the throne." Freya walked up to Sylvia and continued, "But he's missing now. If he's dead, would your mother still want a dead man to be king? Rather than letting Helain sit on the throne, it would be better for her to have her own child become king."
"But mother has always been generous. I think you will also support Helain becoming king." Although Freya smiled, there was no emotion in her eyes.
Queen Silvia closed her eyes and suppressed the anger in her heart. "If you can't find Lotus within three days, you can sit on the throne." No matter how generous she was, she would never let Anna's child become king.
"One day. If it takes too long, the ministers will be dissatisfied." Freya clapped her hands. The maids helped Queen Sylvia out of the living room.
Freya looked at the scenery outside the living room window, and the corners of her mouth gradually smoothed out.
To sit on the throne, she had to give up something.
Next, she had to deal with the Lund family and Saminos in the Royal Knights.
These are all forces belonging to Lotus.
