Chapter 127: Separation (9)
Chapter 127: Separation (9)
Inside the meeting hall.
The curtains were drawn, preventing any sunlight from coming in.
Rose-scented candles were lit in the meeting room. The scent was soothing.
Cedric and Sidse sat at a round table, with two glasses of rich red wine on a tray.
"Sides, how much do you know about the current situation of werewolves?" Cedric asked in a deep voice.
Sidse thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the werewolf forces have been suppressed by us, and most of them are concentrated in the western region."
The West is a bitterly cold land with constant snow and scarce resources. It's not a good living environment for werewolves.
Cedric said, "Increase surveillance on the werewolves. Don't let them get out of there."
The struggle between the two races has never stopped. Before Cedric was born, the vampire family had been crazily slaughtered by werewolves.
Sidse realized that the werewolf's recent quietness might be a cover-up.
Otherwise Cedric wouldn't have said that. Perhaps Cedric's awakening from hibernation was partly due to the werewolf.
Sidse nodded and said, "I will inform the other families of this news."
At present, the Gareth family and the Egbert family are the most powerful. The Gareth family is in the east, and the Egbert family is developing its own power in the south. The vampire members in the north are mixed, and most of them are small families.
Because there are the most vampire hunters in the north, it is difficult for vampire families in the north to develop.
It was mainly an empire built by humans, with its central city located in the northern region.
"Well, besides, I'll be leaving here tonight." After Cedric said that, he got up and left.
Sidse stood up and bowed slightly to Cedric, "Thank you for coming, Your Highness."
After Cedric left, Sidse rang the small bell on the table.
Carlos appeared from behind the door. "Your Excellency, may I ask for your instructions?"
"Carlos, how is that woman?" Sidse crossed his legs and leaned back against the soft chair.
Carlos said respectfully, "Ms. Neve has a good appetite and has finished all the breakfast that was sent to her."
"You have a good appetite." Sidse smiled, and when he thought of how he forced Neve to play the role of a slave last night, he couldn't help but deepen the smile on his lips.
How can there be such interesting humans?
Although he was unwilling to be humiliated, he still had to pretend that he didn't care.
Those brown eyes seemed to be burning with an eternal flame. Sidse wanted to dig out those eyes, but when he thought about not being able to see those bright and unique eyes from now on, he felt a little sorry.
What if Neve was turned into a vampire like him?
Will there still be such fire in her eyes?
Sidse was immersed in his own fantasy, and Carlos stood aside in silence.
Carlos was aware of Sidse's different attitude towards Neve. The Count seemed unaware that he was paying too much attention to this human girl. However, he was just a butler serving the Egbert family, and there were some things he couldn't cross.
On the other side, Neve was doing push-ups.
She didn't want to be idle. Whenever she thought of the humiliation of last night, a fire would rise in her heart.
How can there be such a perverted vampire? ! !
He is obviously a pervert who likes to train people, but he calls it training.
She wanted to curse.
But she is not as strong as Sidse...
Otherwise, he would have grabbed Sidse by the collar and called him a pervert.
Neve exhaled, stopped doing push-ups, and wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeve.
She couldn't let herself get sick because of this pervert.
Neve felt that she had to train harder until she was able to escape from the perverted hands of Sidse.
After returning to the room, Cedric looked at Gu Chang sitting on the sofa. He raised his lips and sat down next to Gu Chang. "What are you thinking about?"
"Cedric, I want to meet Lady Seraphina." Gu Changde let this kind person know that he had now lifted the curse.
Gu Chang wanted to go out, and Cedric couldn't refuse him.
"Okay, Helain, you can go out. But you can't leave for too long." Cedric said in a low voice and kissed the corner of Gu Chang's lips.
Gu Chang was not stopped when he came out of the villa.
He walked towards Seraphina's house according to the route he remembered, but when he stood outside the door and knocked, no one responded.
Only Tata's soft cat meow responded to Gu Chang.
Gu Chang said to Tata inside the door: "I'm going to find Serafina. Goodbye, Tata."
Later, after asking a passerby, Gu Chang learned that Seraphina worked in a tailor shop.
So he went to the tailor's shop.
Inside the tailor shop.
A man with a mustache was looking at the fabric through a magnifying glass. He shook his head as he looked. "Oh no, Seraphina, your embroidery is crooked. It's crooked. How can I sell it to customers like this?"
"Mr. Gahad, I really admire your observation skills. You can always discover new worlds under the magnifying glass." Seraphina forced a smile. She knew that the businessman Gahad was going to find fault again.
You can even make something out of nothing.
Gahad frowned unhappily and looked at Seraphina. "Madam, please watch your words! This is my job. I am responsible for my customers and cannot let them buy defective products."
There were two or three customers in the store at that time. When they heard the argument between Gahad and Seraphina, they all looked a little surprised.
After all, hearing the words "being responsible for the customers" from the stingy businessman Gahad was as surprising as the sun rising from the west today.
Gahad noticed the others' gazes and seemed even more pleased with himself. "How about we let everyone come and see if there's anything wrong with your embroidery, Serafina?"
Seraphina clenched her fists. She really wanted Gahad to taste her fists.
"I think the problem lies with you, sir." A clear voice sounded from behind Gahard.
When Seraphina saw that it was Gu Chang, her eyes lit up.
"What did you say..." Gahard was very angry when he heard this. He turned to look at Gu Chang and swallowed back the words he was about to say.
He could tell at a glance that the material of the clothes Gu Chang was wearing was of the best quality, and the brooch he was wearing was very gorgeous.
Gahard realized that Gu Chang must be the young master of a wealthy family.
"Dear guest, are you here to buy clothes? I have all kinds of styles here." Gahard put on a smiling face, stuffed the magnifying glass and clothes in his hand into Seraphina's hand, and then became attentive to Gu Chang.
Seraphina was speechless at Gahad's shamelessness, "Kid, why did you come here to see me?"
Gu Chang smiled slightly. He ignored Gahard and took the clothes from Seraphina's hand. Then he put the magnifying glass aside and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go outside."
Gahad looked at the two people who were leaving with eager eyes. He realized that he was acting a little inappropriately, and then he found that others were whispering.
"Our store is going to close temporarily, please get out." Gahard thought that Gu Chang's identity must be extraordinary. If he could get him to spend money in his store, he could make a lot of money.
But it seems that this young master has a good relationship with Seraphina.
Gahad had long forgotten what he had done against Seraphina. He thought that Seraphina would not break up with him because he accepted the clothes she made for her.
After coming out, Gu Chang looked at Seraphina who was very happy. "Madam, I came here to tell you that I am leaving here."
Seraphina asked with a smile, "Child, you have already broken free, right?" Seraphina did not dare to utter the word curse. After all, if this thing was heard by others, only bad things would happen.
"Yes, ma'am. I have found true love." Gu Chang answered truthfully.
"But... that person last night was clearly..." Seraphina said very tactfully, "If you want to be together, one of you will always have to sacrifice."
Gu Chang smiled, with a gentle light flashing in his eyes, "You don't have to worry about me, there will always be a way."
Seraphina nodded, "Okay, child. Let's say goodbye here." She stretched out her hand, wanting to hug the poor child.
"Okay, ma'am." Gu Chang hugged Seraphina gently.
"Do you still want to work here?" Gu Chang suddenly asked.
Seraphina shook her head firmly. "I came here today just to get my wages settled. I'll be moving somewhere else after that."
After getting the answer, Gu Chang walked into the store.
When Gahard saw Gu Chang coming back, he thought that this young master was going to buy him something out of generosity.
"Young master, are you going to buy something?" Gahad asked flatteringly.
Gu Chang looked at him coldly, "I think, as a gentleman, you should respect this lady. And you should know better whether there is any problem with this embroidery."
"Um... I don't understand what you mean." Gahad chose to play dumb.
"Pay this lady her wages now."
As soon as the topic of money came up, Gahad's mind began to calculate.
"This, this needs to be calculated carefully." Gahad wiped his forehead.
Seraphina spoke directly, "A total of seventy copper coins."
"No, it's sixty-nine." Gahad retorted with a frown.
"You erased a copper yesterday," Seraphina said louder than he did. "If you want to quibble, let's reconcile the accounts."
Gahad looked at Gu Chang who had an indifferent expression, and then at Seraphina who had an angry face.
He finally handed the seventy copper coins to Seraphina in front of Gu Chang. He recognized the brooch Gu Chang wore; it was the one only the Egbert family had. He remembered the unique rose pattern very clearly.
Gu Chang sent Serafina back to the cottage.
Seraphina wanted to ask Gu Chang to stay for a while longer, but Gu Chang refused.
Gu Chang patted Tata's little head and said to Seraphina, "Ma'am, I have to go."
"Okay, kid. I hope we'll have a chance to meet again." After watching Gu Chang leave, Seraphina suddenly thought, how nice it would be if she had a child like Gu Chang.
But she has long been unable to bear children.
