Dark Fairy Tale: Will their desires be fulfilled?

"Thank you so much." Ai Li held her hand and took a step forward gracefully. Her body spun like mercury, and the long hem of her tuxedo fluttered in the air. "Listen carefully to the music and follow my steps to the rhythm of the music!"

She hated others giving her orders, even those closest to her. Elstin's eyes regained their usual indifference, and she said in a warning tone: "Ellie, I will only forgive you this once!"

"Yes, just tonight..." Ellie said softly, staring at every move in the hall, "Follow me, we will move over little by little. Now is a good opportunity..."

- Miss Elstin, if possible, I would like to be your closest sister and listen to you talk about your inner grievances and pains.

- If possible, I would be happy to put on your evening dress here, endure the disgusting gazes of the men around you, and seduce the target of this mission on your behalf, no matter how humiliating he is going to be to me tonight.

——If possible, I am willing to present this body to Master Allen unconditionally, as long as he can promise not to peek into your room and steal your underwear and stockings anymore.

——If possible, I would like to be the sword in your hand and eliminate anyone who attempts to hurt you, even if it means burning my entire soul.

——But, when will you be able to discover the purest feelings buried deep in my heart?

Looking at the young lady so close to her and the dancing scene she had always dreamed of, Ai Li felt a very powerless and bitter feeling in her heart.

However, I couldn't do anything.

I am just a maid in the Duke's mansion, a slave who obeys the Hynes family unconditionally.

Miss Elstin, you may not know it yet, but your final destination is even more miserable than my nun mother who was the mistress of Master Howard. You will be Master Allen's...

Chapter 10: Fangs in the Dark

As if she had foreseen the tragic and humiliating ending of the young lady, a hint of sadness flashed across Ellie's golden eyes.

The nobles in the dance floor were enthusiastic, the gentlemen never tired of using verbal hints, and the ladies in low-cut evening gowns showed off their fair skin gracefully. When they exchanged dance steps, they would inadvertently hook the male partner's calf with the tip of their shoes. They spared no effort to exude the dirty breath of desire.

As soon as Ellie took a step, Elstin tripped over her shoe and fell down.

"I can't take it anymore..." Elstin lowered her head, gasping for breath, and was about to give up.

Ai Li gave a helpless smile. Although the eldest daughter was gifted and a recognized genius in the family, she was clumsy only when it came to dancing.

Only at this time will the eldest daughter reveal the nature of a little girl, rather than being a puppet controlled by her family.

"Don't be so nervous, go have a drink of water, or I'll..." Ellie came over to support Elstin, but before she could say anything, she heard clear applause.

Pop, pop, pop.

"You dance well."

Elsteen looked up suddenly and saw Jack, the only son of Viscount Doruido, standing in front of her with a gentle smile. Elsteen looked at him and forgot to answer for a moment.

"Miss, I'll go get you a drink." Ellie took the opportunity to walk away.

"Hello... Thank you for your compliment, I..." Seeing the target of this mission approaching her actively, Elstin's purple eyes moved, and she instantly disguised herself as an innocent little girl, and said helplessly.

However, Jack had already placed his palms on his chest and bowed slightly, "I have admired you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to come to my coming-of-age ceremony, Miss Elstin."

The ambiguous words came at her without any disguise. Elsteen felt her whole body start to get hairy. She just let it pass, took a breath, and answered according to the designed lines, "My mother asked me to come out and see the world."

"Yeah, did you have fun tonight?" Jack asked.

"Tonight's dance was great. I'm so touched. But..." Elstin paused and gradually began to immerse herself in the drama. "I want to talk to you alone."

"Really?" A smile flashed in Jack's slender eyes.

"In fact, I'm tired of dancing and eating."

"What a willful princess you are, you cute little bird..." Jack stretched out his hand to her waist, wanting to hold her, "Do you want me to entertain you?"

Suddenly, it was as if a snake was prowling in front of her, and every pore on her body began to tremble.

Be patient, be patient! Elstin told herself. Even though she wanted to beat up the man next to her immediately, she still pretended to smile and gracefully avoided the man's attentive hand.

If I give up now, then wouldn't all the hard work of binding my chest, wearing such childish little girl's dress, and learning the movements and words of a naive lady be in vain? Wouldn't I just give up my status as the Duke's heir to that useless brother?

"Ah, ah, so does Master Jack know anything fun?"

"Of course, I'll tell you slowly, my lovely little bird." Jack bent down, his face only half a finger away from Elsteen's lips, and Elsteen broke into a cold sweat.

Just wait, after this is over, I will show you how I will deal with you! Elsteen looked at him, feeling balanced. Anyway, I will just bear with it for now and seduce him first.

"So, what's going on?" she asked, enduring the "electrification" with a man so close. However, she suddenly caught a glimpse of her mother who was watching from the side, staring at herself and Jack on the dance floor.

As expected of my mother, she dealt with Viscount Dorudoi so quickly...

"Do you really want to know that?"

"Of course, I'm interested." Elstin said shyly, but she was thinking in her heart how to kill him later.

"Really? But it seems a little too early for you."

"It doesn't matter, I'm already a grown-up lady." Elstin acted like an innocent girl.

The melodious sound of the violin slowly drifted from the hall, and the banquet had entered its peak atmosphere.

"Well, I'll tell you after the dance, but..." Jack's eyes showed a hint of coldness, "You can't tell your mother, Mrs. Tina, okay?"

Pervert, I will beat you up, Elstin said angrily in her heart, but she said softly, "Of course, I will never say..."

However, my mother was already urging us, and the guards at the Viscount's mansion also looked over here, their solemn expressions revealing their vigilance.

"Little cutie, why are you a little absent-minded from the beginning? What's wrong?" Jack obviously noticed something.

"No, no..." Elstin covered up. Taking action here would only cause an unnecessary sensation. For her who pursued perfection in the mission of eliminating family traitors, this was a mistake she would never make.

Is there any way......

At the critical moment, a cabinet fell from the sky and landed on the guards' path. Everyone was stunned. Ai Li, wearing a mask, came over with a smile and explained to everyone, "During the banquet, I want to open the eyes of the ladies and gentlemen present. Please carefully enjoy the magic show I will perform!"

Jack frowned, "I don't remember my father hiring someone to perform magic?"

At this time, Elstin hurriedly pretended to be uncomfortable and said, "I don't like watching magic. Let's... go..." This was a good opportunity to escape the threat of being in the public eye.

"Oh, can't you wait, my little cutie...Okay..." Jack suddenly sighed, walked straight to the end of the stairs, lifted a thick curtain, and said to Elstin, "Please, my little princess."

Elsteen clenched her fists, and as her heart pounded, she walked slowly over. When the curtains were lowered, a golden door was half open. While she was hesitating, Jack had already extended an invitation.

With a bang, the door closed.

At this moment, Elstin felt a cold breath wandering around her. An impenetrable fog began to fill the entire space. Her body's senses were forced to distort, as ethereal as a dream, and it seemed that she might fall asleep at any time.

The mysterious dream of Sequence Eleven... This family really held a promotion ceremony in private.

A layer of frost gradually enveloped the depths of Elstin's purple pupils.

In the darkness, Jack's face became ferocious. He stared at the noble bird and smiled softly, "Baby, the fun has just begun..."

In the hall, everyone's focus was on Ai Li. They all wanted to see what kind of magic a heroic masked man and an empty cabinet could perform. However, no one noticed that two people disappeared quietly in the hall.

Chapter 11: The Arrogance of Mediocrity

The scene presented at this moment is a white church.

The piano placed in the corner was played by itself, but beautiful notes poured out from the black and white keys one after another.

The red carpet was embroidered with intricate patterns, and countless petals cascaded down from the dome.

Photos of the black-haired girl floated in the air, recording her appearance changes from the age of three to fourteen.

But no matter which one it is, that beautiful face can leave an indelible mark deep in people's hearts.

Elstin looked around at the photos of herself and let out a long sigh. This man was undoubtedly a real pervert, and his imagination in his dreams was truly rich.

On the other hand, the owner of this dream, Jack, who is already at the Extraordinary Sequence 11, has an expression of incomparable joy on his face.

There are thirteen levels in the sequence of mysterious dreams. Generally speaking, high-level extraordinary people have absolute dominance over low-level extraordinary people in dreams.

Long ago, Jack had learned that the Duchess was only a Sequence 12 Dancer and was no match for him, a Sequence 11 Undertaker.

For a small noble like him who needs to rely on the great nobles to survive, he had no chance to come into contact with the existence of the sequence. However, it was his obsession with the duke's daughter that prompted him to beg his father at any cost. Finally, with the help of the forbidden ritual, he successfully achieved the promotion of the sequence.

Fortunately, he still maintained his aristocratic gentleman side and did not immediately control Elstin to do things to please him in the dream.

He smiled with confidence, certain that he could capture the beauty in front of him with his charm.

"My little princess, how about a dream wedding that belongs only to us?" He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the fragrance of the Duke's daughter in his dream into his lungs and savor it carefully.

"It's beautiful, but it makes people feel disgusted." Elstin looked at him coldly.

Jack sighed softly, and suddenly said in a pitying tone: "I have learned everything about you from my father. You are just the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of the North, or even less than that."

Noticing that Elstin's purple pupils were becoming colder, Jack felt the excitement that had been suppressed for a long time. The prerequisite for conquering a cold girl was to spare no effort to expose all her scars and completely destroy her self-esteem.

"You were just a baby girl abandoned in a brothel. It was Duke Howard who brought you back to his mansion and granted you noble status. He even later made you the heir to the dukedom and the future queen of the North."

"But do you really think that without the slightest blood connection, the Duke of this empire will treat you as his own child? Let the child of a lowly prostitute inherit everything he has?"

With every word Jack spoke, Elstin's eyes grew colder.

"In the final analysis, this world is just a deal. The reason why Duke Howard adopted you and spent a huge amount of money to cultivate you is to push you to the forefront and attract the attention of the enemies lurking around, so that his legitimate son, Allen Hynes, can grow up safely and eventually inherit the throne of the Duke."

"That's right, you are just a tool, an insignificant tool that can be discarded and replaced at any time." Jack fixed his eyes on Elstin, a mocking expression appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Is that all you want to say? Do you think you can change my position with just a few words? How stupid and naive you are." Elstin sneered.

"No, no, no, my little princess, I want to prove one thing to you, that is, I am not your enemy, but I want to be your ally." Jack took a few steps closer and said very sincerely.

"When the ancestors of your family crawled at the feet of the Haines family, it was destined that you could only survive within the framework we set for eternity. That is, in order to balance the power of the North, anyone from your vassal families who wants to hold a promotion ceremony must obtain the permission of the Duke of the North. Now your family has broken this rule, and you want me to believe what a traitor says?" Elstin gathered a strand of hair by her ear and said with a very disdainful expression.

"That's all for you! From the first moment I saw you, I have been completely captured by you, my little princess. For you, I am willing to sacrifice everything!" Jack suddenly shouted crazily.

"I am willing to sign a soul contract with you. I will be your loyal dog for the rest of my life. All my family's wealth and power will be at your disposal. They will become the sword in your hand to help you ascend the throne of the North! I can also kill anyone for you!"

In his dream, he conjured up a dagger, cut his palm, and outlined the contract circle. He looked at Elstin fearlessly with the image of a martyr.

Elsteen knew that he was not lying at this time. After pondering for a moment, she said softly, "So, what's your reward?"

"marry me."

Elstin looked at Jack with a trace of pity and weariness in her eyes. She placed her palm gently on her chest. Before she could answer, a familiar and extremely fearful voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"My dear daughter, why don't you give him a chance?"

The next moment, Elstin's body trembled uncontrollably, and her purple eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. She murmured, "Mother."

The white church in the dream was dyed red. The petals flying in the air disappeared, and were replaced by colorful butterflies.

In the depths of the group of butterflies, the figure of a stunningly beautiful woman gradually emerged. Her long aqua blue hair was tied into a bun on her plump chest, and her graceful waist was like deep mountains. As she walked, her dark blue evening dress danced like a butterfly, revealing her beautiful legs covered in black stockings.

"The Duchess..." Jack couldn't help but step back. The woman in front of him was unfathomable, but my father should have trapped her outside temporarily. How could she appear in my dream?

When the dim lights in the church went out, Tina's blue eyes shone like stars in the darkness.

She reached out and gently stroked Elstin's smooth and soft neck, looking at Jack with interest: "As long as you can accurately describe my daughter's beauty in one sentence, I will marry her to you."

"Is everything you said true? Are you kidding me?" Jack asked in disbelief.

"Of course, I can swear on my family's name. Is there anything more joyful in this world than bringing together a loving couple?" Tina said with a smile, covering her lips with her hands.

Jack's heart became extremely excited, his eyes fixed on Elsteen's expressionless face like a puppet, and then he said in confusion: "I can't describe it, Mrs. Tina... When I saw this beautiful face, I felt like I was daydreaming, for sure. Miss Elsteen looks... uh, it's hard to describe. I don't know how to say it..."

"That's enough." Elstin suddenly said coldly, and then, under the slightly surprised gaze of her stepmother, she walked towards Jack.

That slight smile instantly melted Jack's uneasy heart.

"You've lost a lot of blood." Elstin said softly as she pulled out the blood-stained dagger from his hand.

"My little princess..." Jack was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears. He slowly opened his arms, wanting to hug her.

In an instant, the dagger's sharp blade flashed coldly, and a beautiful line of blood bloomed on his neck.

His smile froze in the air, and his body collapsed to the ground like mud. Before falling into darkness, he looked at the black-haired girl who looked like the god of death. His lips moved slightly, as if he had thought of the answer to the question but could no longer speak it out.

"'Your beauty makes me feel like I'm in a dream', I guess this is what he wanted to say in the end." Tina said helplessly as she looked at the corpse that was still shaking slightly.

"Mediocre people always have to pay the price for their arrogance." Elstin threw the dagger, which was once again stained with the blood of its owner, to the ground and said without any mercy, "Traitors will eventually face the red lotus of sin."

Tina walked to her adopted daughter and looked at her beautiful face with a little envy: "It's a pity that he has no chance to enjoy this beautiful body."

The adopted daughter's beautiful purple eyes were as bright as a work of art, as if to say that there was no need to actively seduce anyone - just showing up was enough.

Chapter 12 The Big Player Behind the Scenes

Although the owner of the dream died, the dream did not collapse. Instead, the white church surrounded by red mist became more stable than before.

Elstin had a bad feeling instantly. She looked at her adoptive mother, but she still responded with silence. Her lips painted with purple lipstick looked extremely charming.

Her adoptive mother seemed to be a big player who was keen on playing behind the scenes. No matter how glamorous the role was on the stage, in the end it was just a chess piece in her hands for her amusement.
