Bei Yutang had already noticed their attire. They were all wearing elaborate, puffy skirts adorned with all sorts of flowers, looking gaudy and like a moving Christmas tree.
These women also looked different from her.
“Are you human?” The baby-faced girl asked.
That’s a question…
Bei Yutang nodded: “Are you vampires?”
The baby-faced girl shook her head: “We’re human, too.”
“Does anyone know why we’re here?” Bei Yutang asked.
“Don’t you know why you’re here?” The baby-faced girl looked at her with suspicion, as did the other women.
“Yes.”
Hearing her admit it, the baby-faced girl was astonished: “Oh, God, you’re such a lucky one.”
“What do you mean?”
Bei Yutang had a feeling that this job wasn’t good, but seeing their expressions of ‘you’ve struck gold’, she began to doubt.
Could she be wrong?!
“We went through so much hardship, pulling so many strings, to finally have the chance to enter the Duke’s castle.”
One by one, the girls began to recount their difficulties, but after all that, they hadn’t gotten to the point—why they were there.
“Excuse me.” Bei Yutang couldn’t help but interrupt their endless complaints.
The six girls fell silent, looking at her with suspicion.
“I’d like to ask, what are we doing here in the castle?” Bei Yutang asked.
The baby-faced girl said proudly, “We’re here to provide blood for His Majesty the Duke, of course. Just thinking about him drinking my blood makes my heart leap with joy.”
“Me too.”
“To be His Majesty’s person in this life, I would die without regrets.”
Bei Yutang stared in astonishment at the proud girls.
If she hadn’t misheard, these women were here to be eaten by the so-called Duke.
Eaten, literally eaten.
Good heavens, being used as food, and acting like they’d won the lottery—it’s truly infuriating.
Either she’s out of her mind, or these people are.
“If His Excellency the Duke takes a liking to us and we are given a first embrace, we can escape the cycle of time.”
Bei Yutang then learned a great deal about the Duke from these women. He is the most powerful person in this territory, one of the five great royal families in the entire vampire continent.
He has only given birth to one child so far, which is relatively few compared to other royal dukes.
As for these women, they were carefully selected by his subordinates to serve as the Duke’s blood banks.
Of course, not just anyone could become the Duke’s food.
First, the woman has to be beautiful.
Second, she has to be a virgin.
Finally, the woman has to be intelligent; she absolutely could not be stupid.
According to them, a new batch of people was selected every so often. The previous blood banks usually met one of two fates: either becoming vampire or being drained dry by the Duke and becoming corpses.
The rulers of this world are vampires, and they are strictly ranked. The highest are the first-generation vampires, those with royal blood, such as the current five dukes.
Below them are the second generation, then the third generation…
