Lichtenstein Castle, 3rd Floor. (Due to caching reasons, please access the website directly through your browser for the fastest chapter updates.)

Three people, along with a vampire, walked down the corridor, their feet padding on the carpet covering the floor.

Ranch is leading Lord Augustine to the Art Garden, both parties are very happy and the atmosphere is harmonious.

They walked through the frigid corridors, the lights flickering and casting elongated, dancing shadows.

The black oak door to the master bedroom of the castle stood silently at the end of the darkness, imposing and majestic, bearing the unique marks of time upon it.

As he reached the doorway, Viscount Augustine's eyes flared in the darkness. Though he wished to avoid appearing discourteous before the count, his eagerness to devour the three humans overwhelmed him.

"I'm really looking forward to it."

It is clear that Count Palocas has taken control of the castle, and is waiting for him.

Best wishes for a prosperous and successful start.

Lanche also offered his blessings.

Sir Augustine smiled and raised his hand, gently pushing open the heavy door. With a low creak, the air within was instantly released, carrying an almost palpable sense of oppression!

A strange, musty smell of medicine wafted up.

The dim light from the oil lamps on the stone wall flickered and danced, illuminating the array of blades and test tubes. In bottles and vials, strange green chain-link medicine glowed faintly, casting an eerie ambiance throughout the room.

Three masked clergymen circled an unidentified humanoid figure on the bed in the center of the room.

They had already coated Count Palocas with resin and wrapped him tightly layer by layer with linen strips.

The earl had completely turned into a mummy. Under the bandages, his pale face was devoid of life, with only hollow eye sockets remaining, lifeless and vacant. Yet, his hand still twitched and rose continuously, as if trying to prove that he was still alive.

When the three men noticed the arrival of Lord Augustine, their eyes instantly fixated on him like they had discovered a fresh prey!

What the heck!

Sir Augustine at the gate, seeing this scene, felt a chill run down his spine. His eyes flickered with disbelief and alarm.

The Earl wasn't here at all, and this wasn't the master of the castle's bedroom, but a terrifying laboratory.

Although Lord Augustine didn't know who was bound to the grinding stone, he was certain it was a weak kindred. For only Bloodkind possessed such boundless life!

Lord Augustine's reaction was instantaneous. The instinct to survive caused his gaze to dart towards the rear in a flash.

However, at the same time, his vision was filled with a pure and flawless light!

That was a world bathed in sunlight, like an endless sea of flames burning, so hot it almost melted his eyes.

"Impossible——!!!"

As Augustine's anguished cries rang out, Frey, standing not far behind Lord Augustine, took a step forward and seized the lord's wrist. Pressing on his shoulders, he brought him crashing to the ground with a thunderous roar like splitting timbers.

The former sixth-ranking vampire count, released from his seal and in a state of extreme hunger, was exposed to the sun as if he were a cockroach stripped of its shell.

Be honest.

Frey held Baron Augustine's head firmly in place with one hand while receiving the Blood Pressure Rescuer from Lance, who smiled at him. Without hesitation, he plunged the syringe of the Blood Pressure Rescuer into Augustine's back and began to draw his blood.

The blood slowly rose in the cavity, like a crimson indicator revealing the fate of Lord Augustine.

Filled with sorrow yet unable to shed a tear, consumed by exhaustion yet incapable of sleep. I am left only with day after day, and night after night, an endless cycle of days and nights, forever trapped in this human existence!

Being summoned alongside Lancelot, the poet of great love seized Lancelot's spectacles and put them on his face. Gazing upon the states of Count Palocas and Viscount Augustine, he couldn't help but break into song for them.

"…"

Because his sunglasses were stolen, Lance could only close his eyes.

The great poet always likes to steal the spotlight, which makes him a little awkward now.

He still couldn't figure out why the great love poet was so individualistic.

"Could it be that they can't cry and can't sleep because of something other than themselves"

As she spoke, Huberly placed her sunglasses on Lanche's head.

She felt that the scene before her was a little lacking, and she could earn a bit more merit by looking at it.

"Thank you, Huberlian."

Lanche first thanked Huberly, then turned his gaze to the three clergymen.

Here is your text translated into English:

"More delivery for you."

"Who are you! What are you!"

>

However, these humans didn't pay him any mind.

What's with this new shipment

You don't have to do it that way, of course. If he doesn't cooperate, you can also improvise as you see fit.

"

First, let's just remove all his organs.

"

I think it's possible.

Seeing Count Palocas lying in bed, so full of life and vigor, Lance was sure that being a blood race with a missing organ did not affect normal life.

Anyway, it can grow back.

You bunch of morons, do you know what you're doing! During the Blood Moon Era, you will be hunted and relentlessly retaliated against by the blood race!

Lord Augustine's voice trembled with anger as he asked.

Even if he couldn't quite understand the gibberish those humans were spouting, he got the general idea that they were planning something utterly insane.

"Lord Augustine, I recently heard from a vampire that in the Honig Empire now, vampires are the law itself. Human laws are merely rules of play that creatures like us must follow. So it is quite normal for you vampires to be unfamiliar with current human laws."

Ranch, looking every bit the seasoned lawyer, was schooling Lord Augustine on the latest iteration of the Honing Imperial Penal Code.

"While the laws of the Honing Empire forbid the trafficking of humans, there's no mention of blood races. So what we're doing is perfectly legal."

After arriving in the Shadow Realm, Lance out of curiosity read through the laws of the Hunning Empire. After being revised by blood races, it indeed didn't mention this rule.

"……」！"

Lord Augustine remained speechless for a long time.

Isn't that a given!

In this world, who would dare to sell blood races Blood races wouldn't add a rule like "do not sell blood races" to insult themselves!

I am not the weakling bloodsucker you find in bed. I am a blood count! You know what happened to that witch She died at my hands, and for beings like you, fleeting as they are, even risking your lives to seal a bloodsucker is pointless!

Lord Augustine was still struggling with all his might against Frey, roaring furiously.

These humans probably haven't grasped the severity of this vampire baron's problem!
