Huh? Are they all real?...

Moen remembered doing that when he was searching for the Greater Grail.

To stand up for the oppressed farmers in the vicinity, Moen personally went to the Bathory family's mobile fortress, where he defeated Grand Duke Bathory in a fair fight and cut off his finger as a warning.

Furthermore, Moen also visited Bathory Castle during the reign of the Moon King.

So Moen knew exactly what this place was like.

After following Moen out of the bustling banquet hall.

Lester and Lady Lily followed Moen straight into the castle.

Lester asked:

"Aren't we going to retrace our steps? If it's a race against time, where might be the best option?"

“They don’t know that we know their castle very well, so the main road they came on is actually the most dangerous.”

After nodding, Rice quickly walked up to Moen and said:

“I am a vampire king, and I have an extremely keen sense of smell and sound, so I can lead you away from the people on the road!”

This is a great help, and Moen has no reason to object:

"Then I'll have to trouble you. Once we can leave the main city, things will be much easier."

"Don't worry, I can definitely do it. I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place for another second!"

And so, Moen, who was originally walking in front, brought Ms. Lily and Lester a step behind, and asked him to lead the way.

Inside the banquet hall, it seemed that no one noticed Moen and the others leaving.

Duke Alucard returned to his seat and continued to ponder the thoughts that had been interrupted by his father's appearance.

After a long while, he finally stood up and asked the Bathory family member beside him:

"May I use your library?"

"Of course, that area is specially opened to you distinguished guests! Let me show you the way!"

Just like ordinary human nobles, vampires also enjoy showing off their accumulated wealth and power to visitors.

A library filled with all sorts of rare and precious books is obviously one of the best ways to showcase such a collection.

After arriving at the Bathory family's library.

Accompanied by his courtiers.

Little Alucard quickly scanned the area and then followed the instructions to the area where historical data was stored.

Here, even the original copy of the noble register held by the Bathory family is kept.

It was always carefully placed in the most prominent position in the library.

It was also right in front of the area where Accardino was located.

At first, Accardo didn't pay much attention to this; his family also had one, and it was even older than that of the Bathory family.

After all, the Bathory family register seems to have been burned once in its early years by a great man seeking the Holy Grail.

However, after he arrived here with his beautiful courtier, he raised his eyebrows slightly and stopped in his tracks.

Following Little Accardo, the beautiful courtier immediately bowed his head in respect to the beautiful woman before him:

Good evening, Lord Barbatos!

Upon hearing this, the girl who was flipping through the list of nobles of the Bathory family also turned around.

Beside her, the handsome Tingchen humbly bowed his head and gently took the hand of the girl in the moon-white dress.

Following the courtier's guidance, the girl walked up to Little Alucard.

"Hello, little Arcado."

"Hello, I didn't expect to see you here. Please give my regards to your mother, miss."

Accardo the Younger is the heir to the Duke of Accardo.

The girl before them was the heir to the Duke of Barbatos.

Among the eight dukes today, it is impossible to say which family is the strongest, but the Barbatos family is undoubtedly one of them.

After releasing Tingchen's hand that was supporting her, the girl pulled Tingchen's wrist and gently bit it.

A moment later, both the young girl and the handsome courtier showed expressions of infatuation.

Vampires' blood-sucking ability is addictive.

This applies to both others and themselves.

It will only be extremely painful if it is specifically for punishment.

It is said that this was not the eldest son's original plan, but in the end, for some unknown reason, he changed his mind.

After drinking the fresh blood, the girl spoke to Little Alucard:

"Now my mother, your father, and that fool Tos's father, as well as the other grand dukes are all gathered here."

"Perhaps a massive upheaval will occur tonight, affecting the entire vampire race?"

"What do you think, little Arcado?"

Little Alucard bowed slightly and said:

“Every day is a change, Miss.”

"That's a very tactful answer. My mother has always said that the Accardo family has changed its family motto."

"From the Alucard family's blood-for-blood to the present day where Alucard will always exist?"

Acorn Jr. denied it:

“No such thing, Miss. Your mother, Grand Duke Barbatos, must have misheard something.”

But that's the truth, isn't it?

After saying this, the girl left with her favorite Tingchen.

Before leaving, the girl said one last thing to Alucard:

"Change is inevitable. Are you prepared?"

Finally, the moon-white-clad girl smiled again:

I don't think so. Good luck!

As he watched the girl walk away, Alucard frowned even more.

What does she mean?

Does this remind me that the Alucard family now has to choose sides?

But how else can we express our stance?

The Alucard family simply wants to survive!

We've already sided with the Blood Moon without openly offending the Dark Moon, what more do you want from us?!

Watching the direction the girl left in, the resentful Alucard quickly forced himself to dispel his depression and let out a long sigh.

He then began searching through the dazzling array of books.

The search took a very long time.

Even as the beautiful Tingchen was about to speak with some impatience...

Little Alucard was the one who finally found what he was looking for.

This is not a book written by the vampires themselves, but rather the autobiography of a historian from the early Third Age.

Because he devoted his life to studying vampires, his autobiography is almost entirely his research on vampires, hence it is included here.

Yes, yes, that's the one! I remember now, it's this one!

Once he had confirmed that he had found it, Alucard quickly began to peruse the ancient autobiography.

Although there are spells that maintain everything in the library.

But this autobiography has clearly been unread for at least several thousand years.

It has a special scent unique to this type of book, which vampires are very sensitive to.

As Little Alucard searched...

He finally found the place he wanted to see.

Page 666.

Based on the latest document translation, I can confirm that the Gangula family castle, which separated from the Yabatos Marquis lineage, is the ruin we found.

Judging from the ruins of the castle and the destroyed treasury, they were clearly attacked by a greedy dragon.

It's truly astonishing that this is the first vampire family to rise again and thrive even after their family castle had been destroyed.

I suspect that some direct descendants of the Gangula family survived the disaster that led to the family's downfall.

Later, due to his outstanding performance and remarkable achievements, he gained the favor of the king.

He was promoted from baron to earl.

Therefore, they renamed themselves the Tagura family, and the first head of the family was renamed Tagura Tagura.

What I find strange is that I couldn't find the Monte Cristo where they were granted the title of Earl. Perhaps the place has been renamed, which is quite common.

But why did the Tagura family, who had been favored by the king, also disappear?

After finding fragments of his memory, Alucard did not find the answer.

Instead, I became increasingly confused.

Because he felt it wasn't that.

Suddenly, inspired, he turned his gaze to the ancient register of nobles.

Under the moonlight, the name that the girl had once turned over was also seen by Little Alucard.

He slowly stood up and walked blankly toward the ancient register.

This is the second page of the register, but it was added later because it represents the second pair of gods and kings among the vampires.

These two supreme beings appeared after the first generation of rulers, but were far more esteemed than any of the previous rulers.

Therefore, it was added here so that future generations could admire and worship it.

Little Accardo's fingers seemed to be drawn to something as he touched the names on the roster.

Vlad the Great, the elegant Moon King, wielding a long spear that pierces the darkness.

Chapter 216: Advent Day Opening Ceremony - Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader (5k words)

Tagula Tagula, long since vanished yet reappearing, the undiscovered Monte Cristo, gained the favor of the king and was promoted from baron to earl, before disappearing again.

And now they're back, and the current leader is still called Tagul Tagul?!

After opening his mouth, Little Alucard turned to the still puzzled Beautiful Courtier beside him and asked:

"Dwarves, during the previous attack, was there an outsider whose background we can never uncover who helped the dwarves turn the tide?"

"Yes, Master, what's wrong?"

"Does that person also know many ancient relics that even the dwarves themselves have forgotten?"

"Yes, Master, he opened the secret passage that even the dwarves themselves had forgotten, and he knows the real password."

"The dwarves, the reason they ultimately turned the tide was because of the sudden return of the King of Turin and the Kingsguard?"

"Yes, Master, if the King of Turin and the Kingsguard hadn't temporarily returned, the dwarves would have lost long ago."

Was that mysterious person present at the time?

"Yes, master, it is said that he was on the walls of the dwarves' city at that time."

Beautiful Court Minister's repeated affirmations instantly caused Little Alucard to lift his hand from the roster as if electrocuted, and thus fall down the steps.

If it weren't for the beautiful courtier's timely assistance, he, a duke's heir, would probably have fallen to the ground for no reason.

"How could this be? How is this possible?!"
