After washing herself clean, the four maids dressed her in magnificent court attire. As soon as she stepped out of the bathhouse, the people waiting outside took Bei Yutang from their hands.
“Put this on.” The vampire guard handed her a black cloth.
Bei Yutang complied, covering her eyes with the cloth.
The next second, she felt herself lifted into the air, and after a few breaths, her feet touched the ground.
Before she could hesitate or struggle, her hands and feet were chained together. Although she couldn’t see her situation clearly, she could sense that she was being held on a cross.
The black cloth still covered her eyes, preventing her from seeing what was happening outside.
Until she smelled a faint musky scent in the air, Bei Yutang knew that someone had arrived.
The newcomer approached without a word. Just as Bei Yutang realized he was near, a sharp pain shot through her wrist, and blood quickly trickled from it, dripping into a bowl.
“Sir, could you please remove my blindfold?” Bei Yutang’s clear voice broke the silence.
The man ignored her.
“You’re not so beautiful that you’re afraid to let people see you, are you?”
The man still ignored her.
“Actually, being ugly isn’t your fault. It’s just what you were born with. You don’t need to be so ashamed.”
The room remained quiet, except for the faint sound of blood dripping into the cup.
His silence, his indifference, gave the illusion that she was the only person in the room.
“Sir, may I ask you a question?”
“Is the Duke handsome?”
…
Bei Yutang didn’t know who the other person was, but he was most likely one of the Duke’s subordinates. If she wanted to survive, she at least needed to give him a chance to speak.
He was completely ignoring her; how could she save herself?
No matter what Bei Yutang said, he completely ignored her.
After Bei Yutang could no longer smell the faint musky scent, she stopped.
Bei Yutang waited, hoping to try to befriend the vampire who brought her food. However, while she was starving, no one brought her food until the next day, when the faint musky scent reappeared in the room.
This time, just like before, he cut her wrist and began to bleed her.
Bei Yutang knew that he hadn’t left and spoke again.
“Sir, I’m starving. Is there anything to eat?”
No one responded; the other party completely ignored her.
“You’re not speaking? Could it be that you are…”
She didn’t finish the sentence, but the exaggerated expression on her face betrayed her true feelings.
The other party neither got angry nor paid her any attention, completely ignoring her.
Bei Yutang wasn’t discouraged.
“Although we are the Duke’s rations, shouldn’t we be fed? That way, there’s a constant supply of fresh blood. But you’re not feeding us; isn’t that a waste?”
Meanwhile, in a dark palace, a thin, bony hand emerged from a coffin, approaching a desiccated corpse as it sat up in the ornate coffin.
A vampire guard entered the palace carrying a cup of bright red blood.
The mummified corpse reached out and took the blood from the cup, drinking it down in one gulp. His entire body, like a dried-up pool, was instantly filled, visibly swelling to its full size.
In the blink of an eye, the mummified corpse transformed into an incomparably handsome young man.
