Chapter 243 Majesty

The phrase "So-and-so, your mom is calling you home for dinner" is a joke that really reveals your age.

This meme originated from World of Warcraft. Back when Tieba (a Chinese online forum) was still very popular, it was a relatively successful piece of performance art and a cultural celebration for Tieba.

But that era is ultimately... ultimately, we can experience it again, after all, Louis has returned to the 1990s.

If nothing unexpected happens, Louis might experience two more World of Warcraft agency changes, making it even more authentic than the original.

The topic has gone a bit off, but the sentence had a good effect. Remilia, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of scarlet pupils.

*Task completed

When the system notification sounded, Louis didn't rush to check the system's reward, but continued to stare at Remilia.

Remilia turned her head and saw Charlotte's concerned gaze beside her.

"It's you." Remilia smiled slightly, revealing two small fangs.

Her face held a kindness and care that didn't match her Lolita appearance.

Remilia slowly sat up, glanced around, and stood up, her feet firmly planted on the ground. She raised her arms, her crimson eyes burning with ambition: "My children, the great Scarlet family will rise again, and you... under my leadership, Remilia Scarlet, will reclaim our glory! We will rule this world!"

As she finished speaking, the castle began to shake, and the sky outside was gradually covered by blood-red clouds. The red mist began to spread outward from Remilia as the center.

Louis looked at Remilia in front of him and couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and reflection).

It was so majestic, truly majestic.

"Let that damned sun disappear! I want all vampires to be able to walk on the earth normally!" Remilia said with great enthusiasm.

Seeing that the red mist was about to spread to his side, Louis quickly stepped forward and, to Remilia's puzzled look, used his hand as a knife to chop Remilia's head.

Remilia froze, and the spreading red mist paused, retreating back into her body.

"Young man, do you know what you're doing?" Remilia asked incredulously. This "young man" in front of her was incredibly audacious, daring to lay a hand on her, his ancestor!

Louis didn't say anything, but chopped Remilia on the head again.

"I can tolerate your rudeness the first two times! But if you do it again..." Remilia hadn't finished speaking when Louis hit her on the head again.

This time it was much more serious than before. Remilia was speaking when she was hit like that and actually bit her tongue. She quickly covered her mouth with her little hand, and tears welled up in her eyes from the pain.

"Times have changed, Remi." Louis touched Remilia's fluffy little ruffled hat with his hand. Surprisingly, it didn't feel bad. He patted it a couple more times until Remilia glared at him angrily.

To be honest, Louis didn't feel much of a threat; it just felt like being watched by a kitten.

He patted Remilia's head and coughed, "Don't look at me like that. Things are very different now than they were a hundred years ago. I suggest you keep a low profile."

"Mind your own business!" Remilia said angrily, then looked at Charlotte beside her and said with dissatisfaction, "Why are all the younger generation so rude these days? Charlotte, is this how you raise children?"

"They... uh." Charlotte hesitated, then finally gritted her teeth and stamped her foot to reveal the truth: "Actually, they were the ones I invited to help break your seal, Grandma..."

Remilia was stunned. She looked at young Louis, then at the people behind him, but she couldn't find anything special about them. Apart from the woman with strange horns who had a temperament somewhat like her own kind, and a little girl who was about the same height as her but couldn't figure out, the others were obviously nothing special.

"Alright, stop thinking about ruling the world all the time. You're over four hundred years old, why are you still so childish?" Louis ruffled her hair with a disdainful pat, like he was slapping a watermelon. "Isn't it better to just live a good life? Maybe after you've struggled for a few days, you'll realize what it means to have a simple life..."

"Then...you can't hit me on the head!" Remilia put one hand on her hip and pointed at Louis with the other, but surprisingly, she couldn't break free from his clutches.

Perhaps being patted on the head doesn't feel so bad?

Vampires are truly strange creatures.

Of course, this doesn't really count as anything special, does it? It shouldn't be considered one, right?

"If you promise to behave, I'll try my best not to hit you on the head anymore," Louis promised with a smile. He looked more like a creepy uncle trying to lure a little girl than someone who was about to take Remilia to see the goldfish.

"Hmph! The great Scarlett family will eventually..." Remilia was still repeating that line when Louis knocked her on the head again.

This little girl is so forgetful, he thought to himself, I need to teach her a lesson.

But he completely forgot that the "little girl" in front of him had lived for over four hundred years, even longer than his great-great ...

In pain, she crouched down, clutching her head, forming the Remilia Scarlet crouching stance.

It's quite traditional, since in some fan-made lore, Remilia is depicted as crouching with her head in her hands in defense.

Of course, there's also that classic line: "I knew it! What's wrong with the old woman? I just couldn't believe she'd suddenly appear behind me and press my face against the keyboard... (garbled text)."

"I suggest you be more obedient, Remy," Louise snorted as a warning. "Otherwise, I won't be so polite..."

Remilia remained silent for a while, and just when Louis thought she had given in, she suddenly raised her head, pulled out a scarlet spear from somewhere, spread her wings and took flight, as if to pounce on Louis.

Louis recognized the gun; it was the [Holy Lance Gungnir]!

"Expelliarmus!" Louis cast a spell, and Remilia's holy lance fell to the ground. Without haste, she pointed, and crimson, chain-like spiritual energy shot out.

[Spell Card: Fate "Miserable Fate"]

"Energy Sheild!"

The crimson chains struck the energy shield, creating ripples of blue light. Louis remained calm, immediately countering with a Swift Imprisonment.

Remilia dodged Louis's spell with a very strange arc, then launched herself against the wall and, like a stabilizing armor spiraling forward, spun and pounced toward Louis.

【Night Symbol "Bad Lady Scramble"】

Unexpectedly, Louis created an opening and grabbed her by the armpit.

Remilia seemed caught off guard by this situation. In desperation, she shouted, "Red Rune: Red Night Never Ends..."

Before she could finish speaking, Louis flicked her chin with his finger, causing Remilia to whimper and bite her tongue, thus interrupting her spellcasting.

Louis put her down on the ground, tapped her head, and asked, "Resisting is useless. Accept your fate, young lady."

"Okay, okay, I won't fight back anymore, please don't hit my head, okay?" Remilia squatted on the ground, holding her head, and said pitifully.

Having just been at a disadvantage in her fight against Louis, she knew she was no match for him, so she simply stopped resisting.

In just a few minutes, Remilia transformed from a dignified little girl into a crouching, defensive little girl.

The so-called majesty of Remilia, like Jerusalem in the West, existed in the past, but no longer exists.

Charlotte, who was standing nearby, had already left the room. She looked out the window at the sky with a complicated expression, thinking to herself that she really couldn't bear to lose face like this.

As he was looking up at the sky, a familiar yet weak voice sounded behind him.

"Mm, Charlotte, I think I can sense Remy's presence. Has her seal been broken?"

He turned around and saw Patchouli, the reclusive girl in the basement library.

The girl was very beautiful, but her skin was sickly pale, unlike the paleness of a vampire; it seemed to be the paleness of someone suffering from a chronic illness. She was staring at Charlotte with her large eyes, and Charlotte, after a moment of surprise, nodded and said, "It's like this, a new friend from the Scarlet Devil Mansion helped me, Miss Patchouli. You can go in and take a look."

"Okay, okay." Patchouli nodded and turned to walk towards the room where Remilia was originally sealed.

As soon as she entered, she saw Chang Wei... and then she saw Louis hitting Remilia.

"Stop! Stop..." In her desperation, Patchouli stopped saying her habitual "M-Q." As her emotions changed, magic books gradually appeared around her body, shimmering with seven-colored light.

Louis didn't want to know so much about the magic of the Seven Luminaries Mage, but before he could make any move, he saw Patchouli fall down at the doorway.

Remilia smeared her little carrot hands on her face.

I was hoping Patchouli could hold her own, but who knew she was so useless.

Depressed as she was, Remilia still ran over to help Patchouli up, asking with concern, "What's wrong, Patchouli?"

"I didn't eat much dinner, and I... I have low blood sugar... I fainted..." Patchouli's voice was weak.

The people in the room looked at each other, and Louis, Harry, and Ron shrugged together, indicating that they didn't know how to describe this family's oddities.

Fortunately, after Remilia's explanation, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and Patchouli no longer doubted the group's identities, even expressing her gratitude.

However, with Remilia and Patchouli's Scarlet Devil Mansion, Louis is no longer so resistant. At least he needs some shady power now to help him do some shady things.

After carefully consulting Louis's opinion, Remilia didn't object to his idea, but she wanted Louis to discuss the specifics with Charlotte, since Charlotte, not Remilia, was now in charge of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Relatively speaking, Remilia prefers to be a hands-off manager. Rather than being the head of a large family, she prefers to go out and fly around aimlessly for a while.

Upon hearing that the seal on their ancestor had been broken, the Scarlet Devil Mansion erupted in cheers and jubilation, their morale soaring and dispelling the gloom of the past few days. Charlotte, however, declared that Louise's involvement in the campaign against the Blood-Eyed Clan was unnecessary; with their ancestor in charge, they had nothing to fear from a small vampire clan.

Well, it seems that he's gotten too arrogant as the acting clan leader.

After all, Remilia is really strong, as long as she's not compared to Louis.

Because Louis is from the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Academy, most people can't afford to offend him.

"You mean, you're coming with me?" Louis looked at Remilia, puzzled, then at Patchouli, who was replenishing her moonberry juice, and asked curiously, "You're willing to leave Patchouli behind?"

"She's coming along too," Remilia said nonchalantly. "The Scarlet Devil Mansion is so boring. Ever since my sister... I haven't had any playmates. I sit on the throne every day, bored out of my mind. Everyone else treats me with utmost respect, unlike you..."

Well, it seems it really is a madman.

Of course, that's not necessarily true. Just like those emperors of the past, it was difficult to find one or two close friends by their side. Remilia naturally cherishes those who dare to be open and comfortable around her.

However, this is also based on Louis's strong strength; otherwise, he would have been pierced by the Holy Lance Gungnir long ago.

Perhaps his image would be hanging outside the Scarlet Devil Mansion now, along with a couplet that reads, "The Scarlet Devil Mansion has even more sorrowful things to tell, how can one bear to fly a kite like Louise?"

"I think you're really like Wu Dalang drinking giraffe milk, jumping around like that..." Louis sighed. "Look at how frail and delicate MuQ is, she'd fall over in a gust of wind. I think she's just a supercharged version of Lin Daiyu. Aren't you really afraid something might happen to her?"

"I'm not MuQ!" Patchouli retorted softly.

"Who is Lin Daiyu?" Remilia asked curiously.

"M.Q. is a character from a novel," Patchouli explained to Remilia. "Her fate was very difficult, and her health was also very poor..."

"Her body isn't any worse than yours, mhm." Louis shrugged. "If you didn't have this bit of magic to support you, you'd probably be dead by now..."

"What can we do? We can't just leave her alone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion." Remilia sat back in her chair, looking somewhat depressed. Her little face was resting on the back of the chair, and her little tiger teeth were sparkling like stars.

"But then again, it's good to get out and about and exercise sometimes." Louis pointed at Harry and Ron and said, "Look at my two brothers, they run around like wild dogs without a rein (Zhang Xiaohua's words) whenever they're free. They're both incredibly fit and resilient. I think if Patchouli could exercise more, maybe it would improve her physique?"
