Chapter 165 Elise's Past

In front of the door of the hiding place.

Mo Yu, Govia, Iris, and Herobella sat in chairs, waiting for Alice's actions.

The three girls were all dressed up in their finest clothes, wearing trendy styles of the time, all long skirts, though the colors and styles were slightly different.

Outside the hiding place was a small hill.

The grass is lush and green, flowers bloom everywhere, the sun shines brightly, and there are no clouds in the sky.

Alice sat in a sea of ​​flowers, holding a harp in her hands. As she gently plucked the strings, she began to hum a cheerful tune.

The singing was melodious and pleasant to listen to.

A moment later, a small head popped out from behind the mound.

She was a little girl, about five or six years old, with blonde hair and blue eyes, dressed in a white dress. She was incredibly cute, like a little angel.

"so cute!"

Govia and Herobella exclaimed in surprise and all stood up and crowded around the door.

When the little girl saw Alice, she smiled sweetly, climbed over the hill and ran to Alice, throwing herself into her arms and acting coquettishly: "Witch sister."

Alice held the little angel and teased it, giggling continuously.

Herobella sensed something and asked in confusion, "This little girl... seems somewhat familiar?"

Govia was stunned.

After observing for a while, the two turned around and looked behind them.

Elise turned her head to the side, avoiding eye contact, as if she didn't want to face it.

"Elise!" *2
Knowing there was no way to avoid it, Elise spoke up, "Yes, that was me when I was a child..."

Mo Yu smiled without saying a word.

He had guessed it after seeing the blood analysis. The moment he saw the little girl, a notification popped up on the panel.

[A legendary unit fragment has been detected. Capturing it will complete the unit's encyclopedia entry.]

After confirming that the little girl was Elise as a child, Govia and Herobella didn't stand on ceremony. They went out and kissed and hugged her.

Elise was in a bad mood.

Mo Yu said, "You haven't told me about your childhood yet."

“I…don’t remember much about what happened when I was little…” Elise replied.

Mo Yu stood up, took Iris's small hand, and said, "Let's go out too."

The two left their hiding place.

As a child, Elise was not shy and giggled as she played with the three of them.

Mo Yu and Elise approached each other.

Little Elise froze when she saw Elise, broke free from Herobella's embrace, stumbled towards Elise, opened her tiny arms, and called out in her childish voice:

"mom!"

Elise froze, hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and picked up her younger self.

"Mom, I miss you so much..."

"Mom misses you too..."

Elise hugged her younger self.

Everyone else fell silent, then turned to look at Alice, the one in the know.

Alice sighed, "Baby's parents died when she was two years old."

Mo Yu countered, "What's the reason?"

Alice sighed and parted her lips slightly, saying, "A blood curse."

Everyone was shocked.

Mo Yu said, "You should tell us the story behind this in detail."

Herobella suddenly exclaimed, "What...what happened to her?!"

Everyone looked at little Elise.

The little one was breathing rapidly, had fallen into a coma, had a sickly flush on his cheeks, an abnormally high body temperature, and kept whispering "Mommy."

Herobella and Govia were somewhat flustered.

Elise bit her lower lip. She sighed and called to Alpha, who was crouching on the mound, "Alpha, go get the trigger."

Elise looked shocked.

Alpha glanced at Mo Yu, who nodded, before it entered its hiding place and retrieved the trigger.

Elise handed little Elise to Alice and stepped back to create some distance, preventing her from being affected by the stimulant.

Alice opened the stimulant and gave little Elise a sip. The effect was immediate; the latter's breathing quickly calmed down, the blush on her face faded, and she fell asleep drowsily, curled up in Alice's arms.

Alice sealed the trigger and tossed it to Alpha.

Suddenly, Elise rushed forward and hugged Alice tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably, and whispered, "Is the trigger drug a medicine I'm preparing?"

"Yes, but I still failed." Alice hugged Elise tightly, answered softly, and gently patted her back.

Since entering the space station, an invisible barrier has existed between the two. Although they appear to have a good relationship, there is a subtle sense of estrangement.

Now, that sense of alienation has disappeared.

Many of Elise's questions were answered, and she understood many things in an instant.

Alice, holding both Iris and her daughter, explained to the puzzled crowd, "Bao's family, the Dracula, is actually a long-established family of witchers."

"A hundred years ago, when the progenitor of vampires was being hunted down, the patriarch was afflicted by a curse that the progenitor had cast at the cost of his life."

"This is a blood curse that spreads through bloodlines, causing infected individuals to rapidly lose vitality and shorten their lifespan. The curse's intensity is increasing, and the lifespan of each generation in the Dracula family is decreasing rapidly."

"The once-glorious Dracula declined rapidly, almost completely withering away within a century, leaving only Elise."

"I discovered this while investigating the progenitor of vampires. When I arrived here, only Elise remained of the family, and I have been observing and studying her ever since."

"At first I tried to suppress this curse, but I failed. So I changed my approach. Since I couldn't suppress it, I decided to find a way to coexist with it. So I simply turned Bao into a vampire."

Herobella is very empathetic; after listening, she hugged Elise and cried. At least Elise had a warm childhood.

Govia sighed, but she wasn't particularly moved. As one of the Eight Sages born in a special way, she didn't quite understand some emotions.

Mo Yu remained silent.

The sole heir of a demon hunter family became the future vampire emperor; what a cruel twist of fate!

Everyone sat down and listened to Alice recount this story.

Elise listened very attentively.

Because of the curse, she often had fevers when she was a child, and she couldn't remember many things clearly; her memory was hazy. Alice filled in the gaps for her.

at the same time.

A horse-drawn carriage drove into the manor.

Inside the carriage.

"Damn it! Damn it! Don't let me see him again! Otherwise I'll definitely... I'll definitely..." Anna's expression was extremely fierce.

The white-haired old man asked with a broad smile, "What should we do with him?"

"grandfather!"

"Haha, go keep the young lady company. We don't need to get involved in what happens in the valley."

"Yes."

Anna jumped off the carriage and skipped away. The servants she met on the way all respectfully called her "Little Steward".

She went to little Elise's room, but found no one there.

The room's windows were open.

Anna leaned against the window, gazing into the distance. Behind her were the hills behind the manor. A gentle breeze caressed her face, and she could faintly hear voices.

Are there people on the back hill?

Anna was puzzled, so she climbed out the window and followed the sound of the wind.

After rounding the hill, she quickly retreated and hid in the shadows, her pupils dilated and her breathing rapid.

What did she see?
Witchers have a keen sense for monsters, and those monsters were incredibly arrogant, making no attempt to conceal their presence.

The young lady is in their hands.

Anna pressed her hand to her heart, took a deep breath, threw a red flare into the air, and then charged out with a death wish, brandishing two short knives.

"Let her go!"
