Chapter 574: Comes Without Any Effort
Before entering the castle's main gate, Xia Liu found a female vampire who was at the early-stage of an Earl.
"Excuse me, beautiful miss, have you by any chance seen Prince Lante's bride?"
The female vampire glanced at Harry, then respectfully bowed to him, "Honorable guard, Prince Lante's bride is very beautiful, a beautiful woman from the East."
Although Xia Liu couldn't understand why she knew of his guard status, he felt a thrill in his heart.
A beautiful woman from the East—it could very well be Mo Wanqing!
"Have you seen her?"
"Honorable guard, I am not qualified to meet Prince Lante's bride, but if you are interested, you can come to your room or house after I finish my work..." the female vampire said shyly.
...
Xia Liu waved his hand, letting the woman go about her business.
He was speechless, she talked so much yet she hadn't even seen her.
The most shameful thing was, she even tried to use him to climb the ranks.
Although he didn't quite understand the existence of the Morton lineage, which was eternally enraged.
On second thought, if a woman from the Morton lineage were to cling to the Imperial Family or Giles of the Imperial Guard lineage, they would surely be able to free themselves from labor duties in the future.
It might just be the case.
Xia Liu didn't think too much about it.
He couldn't muster the slightest interest in these vampires.
In terms of physique and appearance, Kathleen was leagues ahead of them.
It's just unfortunate that these vampires were all decades old, even centuries old.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help feeling a bit strange.
As the Duke's powerful forces had yet to appear, Kathleen urged Xia Liu to quickly enter the castle.
Passing through the towering main door, Xia Liu took in the whole lobby.
Or rather, the hall!
Because the space here was really spacious.
Many columns stood around, giving a strong visual impact involuntarily.
Noble floorings, exquisitely styled murals, entering the main door was like entering a lavish, ancient palace.
On one side of the lobby, workers were arranging a long table.
It was a table that could accommodate at least a hundred people.
It seemed that Prince Lante's wedding was very significant, those seated at the long table were surely individuals of some status within the Blood Clan.
And Xia Liu saw an opportunity here.
This could not only severely damage the Blood Clan but also allow Kathleen to retrieve everything she had lost!
"Oh, isn't that Angela?" Just as Xia Liu and Kathleen were preparing to delve deeper, a delicate voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Xia Liu turned around to see a red-haired woman who looked to be about forty years old, with crow's feet already visible at the corners of her eyes.
Behind the red-haired woman, there followed a handsome young man.
This young man's eyes were slightly sunken, clearly due to some matters that had prevented his body from keeping up with nutrition.
"Louisa, why aren't you having your male slave entertain you? What are you doing out and about?"
Though she wasn't Angela, Kathleen had known Louisa for a long time.
The Ross Lineage, who doesn't know Louisa? This woman is like a void, no matter how many people visit her in a day, she is never satisfied.
Her appetite is so great that even the high-level Blood Clan People fear her.
Her cultivation is also at the late-stage Earl level, equivalent to an Earth-Rank High-Level Warrior!
She is not of the Imperial Family, but a collateral relative of the Ross Lineage of the Imperial Family, descended from the siblings of the first-generation heir to the throne.
After countless years, Louisa's bloodline is no longer pure and is far too dilute compared to the Imperial Family.
Even the status of the Ross Lineage in the Blood Clan has fallen considerably.
By comparison, this lineage is almost on par with the Giles Guard Lineage.
From what Kathleen knew previously, Louisa and Angela were full of hostility towards each other, always comparing when they met; their cultivations were similar, then it was a comparison of their male slaves.
"I certainly don't have the desires you do, and I'm sure your male slave had a tough time. You must have had to take care of yourself last night again. Can your hand still move, or will it tremble when you go to do makeup for the Princess Consort?" Louisa said with a mocking laugh, striking Kathleen with her words twice in a row.
However, Kathleen wasn't very angry, even somewhat excited.
She was going to do makeup for the Princess Consort, wasn't that Prince Lante's bride?
Xia Liu also shuddered, what a stroke of luck this was.
He had just been thinking about how to find Prince Lante's bride, and now such a perfect opportunity had presented itself.
"Giggle, see, I was right, Harry is trembling too, he's weaker compared to my Joseph," Louisa mocked, observing Xia Liu's slight shiver.
"Tch, Louisa, it's just you who is vile. Joseph comes from the Morton lineage and naturally has extraordinary strength. It's normal for my Harry to be weaker, but two hours is enough for me," Kathleen retorted.
Kathleen not only mocked Louisa for choosing a lowborn hard worker as a slave but also praised Xia Liu's endurance of two hours.
This even angered Joseph, who also had the cultivation of an Earl, albeit just a bit lower than Louisa.
Louisa was even more incensed, she hated when people talked about her taking servants for her needs.
But this person was Angela, and she couldn't do much about it.
Xia Liu gave a slight smile, indeed Kathleen understood him well.
"Angela! You're dead!" Louisa was visibly angry.
She had many arguments prepared to counter Angela, but remembering that Joseph had been unable to last even ten minutes recently, she was infuriated.
And her eyes kept measuring Xia Liu up, her thoughts inscrutable.
"Louisa, don't say so much. If you like him, I can lend Harry to you," Kathleen said, deepening the wounds of both Louisa and Joseph.
Both clenched their fists tight. If this were not Prince Lante's castle, they would have struck out!
Kathleen wasn't bothered, considering Louisa and Joseph were merely two Earl vampires; she could kill them with a flick of her hand.
As for Xia Liu, he was even more composed, having noticed Louisa sizing him up earlier.
If Louisa dared to speak up, he would certainly make it an unforgettable experience for her.
"Angela, my Joseph is much stronger than your Harry; you should keep him to yourself. Now, I need to go upstairs to accompany the Princess Consort!"
After speaking, Louisa gave Xia Liu another evaluating look and then quickly walked toward the stairs.
"Humph! You're lucky. If it weren't for Prince Lante and the Princess Consort getting married, I would definitely crush you!"
"Stop talking so much. Wait until you have the ability to say such things."
Louisa ignored Kathleen and hurried up the stairs.
Kathleen and Xia Liu exchanged a glance and followed Louisa's pace.
Since Joseph could go upstairs, Harry [Xia Liu], as Angela's male slave, naturally could go too…
