After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

"But, let's go in now. It's getting dark, and the blood slaves are about to start moving. If we stay outside, I'm afraid..."

"Look, here it comes!"

Charlotte pointed excitedly at the far end of the street where two carriages were approaching. Her previous unhappiness was instantly thrown out of her mind.

As for what Laura just said...what did she say?

If you didn’t hear it, then you didn’t say it.

This guy is finished.

As a bystander, Laura saw it clearly and thought about it so seriously for the first time.

The two carriages were indeed sent by Azer to welcome them, led by Hecate.

She was sent because she had met Charlotte before, and communication would be more credible and convenient.

Of course, it is also because Constantine is currently injured and is not suitable for the mission.

In short, Charlotte, Laura, and the remaining high-level vampires of Yukimura loaded the supplies that had been packed long ago into the car, and then began their journey to the safe zone.

On the way, Laura, distressed by her master's increasingly outrageous behavior, decided to change the subject and mood:

"Master, Lord Aize said he has figured out a way to place us in a safe zone for humans. Do you know what that method is?"

"do not know."

Charlotte leaned back on the not-so-comfortable seat of the carriage and casually tossed her hair.

"I guess they'll arrange a disguise for us, right? For example... uh, say I'm Aize's fiancée and invite me to live with them or something?"

"Absolutely impossible."

Laura cut short her master's fantasy with an expressionless and merciless face.

"Besides, we'll most likely be staying at the royal palace this time. That's where Lord Aize's ex-fiancée lives. Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"Uncomfortable? Why should I feel uncomfortable? Isn't this act of stealing someone's love very exciting?"

Charlotte tilted her head.

"You know, my bastard brother once captured a human couple alive and turned the woman into his mistress right in front of the man. I don't have such a bad taste, but I can understand a little bit of the reasoning behind it~"

I don't understand a thing.

Laura couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and could only say with a dark face:

"Don't tell these thoughts to Master Aize."

"I know, I know, and...ah, here we are, in the safe zone!"

The inexplicably excited young True Ancestor turned around and leaned against the carriage window to look out.

"Will there be any welcoming ceremony?"

"will not have."

"Preferably a party or something like that?"

"nonexistent."

"A nighttime tea party is also acceptable~"

"Lord Aize is not like that. You should not think too much..."

"Look everyone! Lord Aize's knights have captured one of the vampires who unleashed the blood plague in the city and have brought him back!"

Outside the carriage, an excited shout petrified both Charlotte and Laura.

Chapter 102: Keep your tail between your legs, no one can protect you

Charlotte's motivation for cooperating with Aize comes from her weariness of the long war and her anger and dissatisfaction with the Demon King's extreme dictatorship and despotism. Therefore, she hopes that Aize can bring changes to the current messy situation.

As the contact deepened, personal feelings became a factor.

But no matter what, this is just Charlotte's judgment from her own perspective, and it does not mean that she will have too much goodwill towards the human race.

The same goes for her subordinates.

Even because of the lack of emotions, the high-level vampires accompanying them were even more hostile and distrustful of humans, and many of them had doubts about Aize's invitation.

Therefore, this sudden shout made the nerves of these vampires tense to the extreme.

A male high-level vampire in the carriage stood up almost immediately and prepared for battle.

"Master, we've been fooled! Brave Aize deceived us! He actually wanted to..."

I couldn't finish my words.

Because after a brief silence, thunderous cheers broke out in the streets outside.

The common people of the royal capital have been going through real hell for the past month.

Almost everyone has loved ones who died in this kind of disaster, and some even have to watch their loved ones gradually turn into bloodthirsty monsters and stretch out their claws towards them.

Even those who survived were displaced and suffered torture. They lived in a crowded and chaotic environment, relying on food that could barely keep them from starving to death, and there was no sign of the situation getting better.

Eventually becoming desperate, weak and numb.

Now, there is suddenly news that the vampire who is the culprit has been caught.

The uplifting effect brought by such news is completely incomparable to anything else.

So, after taking some time for their half-paralyzed brains to realize what had happened, the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time naturally broke out uncontrollably in the most violent form.

So much so that the voices of the high-level vampires were immediately drowned out by thunderous cheers.

Mixed in with the cheers were complex emotions such as roaring, crying, and laughing.

Then the commotion escalated further

"Kill them! Kill them!"

"Revenge for my child!"

"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!"

The ground was shaking as the crowd came from almost all directions with astonishing momentum, followed by noise, shoving, and shouts from the guards who were trying to maintain order.

The situation is out of control.

This made the high-level vampires in the carriage, who already distrusted humans, even more anxious.

In addition to the one who started to stand up, the other two vampires also began to echo:

"Master, we've been tricked! Let's get out of here quickly!"

"Yes, yes, if we don't take action now it will be too late!"

"I think so too, Master, give the order quickly!"

Along with the revelry outside the car, there was also a commotion inside the car.

This made Charlotte extremely unhappy, and she scolded angrily:

"What's the hurry? Let me sit down."

"but--"

"sit down."

The True Ancestor girl's voice gradually grew colder, and no matter how dissatisfied her subordinates were, they had no choice but to do as she was told.

This is the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the blood clan.

But having said that, Charlotte was actually feeling uneasy at the moment.

What the hell is this clever guy doing?

He said he had made some arrangements, but that was too... Never mind, I should confirm the situation first.

So she winked at Laura beside her, and the blonde housekeeper understood and immediately got up and walked out of the carriage to check the situation outside.

"This is……"

The situation outside is worse than expected.

The news of the vampire being captured alive spread throughout the entire safe zone at the speed of light. In addition to the people living nearby, residents from even farther places also flocked in - and then rushed forward without looking back.

He did not stop by the carriage.

In the square ahead, in the middle of the dense crowd, a simple platform had been set up.

On it, you can see several figures tied up tightly.

Below them was an extremely angry crowd, constantly attacking the defense line formed by the guards, trying to rush to the platform to do something.

If you can't rush over, then throw everything you find at those figures.

Use this to express your opinion.

This situation left Laura completely confused.

But she still got back into the car and reported the truth to her boss and colleagues.

"It's okay, it doesn't seem to be directed at us."

Then, he talked about the situation outside.

The vampires, including Charlotte, looked at each other in confusion, completely confused as to what was going on.

As the crowd gradually stopped flowing, the carriage was able to continue moving forward.

He bypassed the most crowded part, entered the area of the palace that was not open to the public through a side door, and stopped.

Charlotte and Laura jumped out of the car, and Aize was already waiting there with his hands behind his back.

Greeting:

"Here we are. How was it? Did anything happen on the way?"

"Of course it did!"

Charlotte was naturally a little dissatisfied with what happened just now. She almost immediately went up to Aize and protested.

"That thing outside, that's what you called an arrangement, right? What's going on?"

"Well, it's just insurance against any eventuality."

"Insurance?"

Aize nodded and began to explain.

The biggest problem in bringing the vampires to a safe zone for unified protection is that once the matter is discovered, it will almost immediately cause a huge riot.

Even if the mastermind behind this intends to cause trouble, Aize will be labeled a traitor and will lose control of the situation in the royal capital, leading to a complete collapse.

That's why such a drama was arranged.

First, he asked Villian to make a few puppets with the appearance of vampires, then tied them up and announced loudly that he had captured the vampires and locked them up in the palace.

In this way, even if someone discovers the existence of vampires in the palace, it can be explained that they are captives captured previously, and it will be much more difficult for the opponent to use this incident to incite a riot.

It is equivalent to giving the entire safe zone a vaccination first.

Charlotte, who already understood Aize's difficulties, could naturally accept such an answer.

He put away his dissatisfaction, restored his usual smile and nodded.

Aize also began the next step of the introduction:

"I have already arranged that this part of the palace, the rooms and the gardens, will be lent to you for your use. The guards will also be increased to prepare for possible attacks."

Then, he shifted his gaze to the other high-level vampires behind Charlotte.

He cleared his throat with two dry coughs and added:

"Also, you are guests, so of course you can move freely. But I'm sure you saw what happened just now. The capital city may not be so friendly to vampires these days. Be careful not to reveal your identity."

The commotion just now had another purpose that Aize didn't explicitly state - deterrence.

He trusted Charlotte very much, but he also knew the nature of her subordinates very well.

These guys who have lived a long time and are so arrogant still have some respect for me when facing me.
