"The next king? Last night, Ri's subordinates exaggerated Ri's identity. "The girl with baby fat pouted. She was dressed in a child's outfit prepared for Thales. She looked comical and cute as she sat on the carpet by the fireplace. She continued to speak with an air leak," But we found out that right now, Ri is not even a prince. "
'Of course not. The number of people in the kingdom who know that the king has a son is probably less than two,' Thales said in his heart.
'Am I supposed to tell you that Gilbert said that on purpose because he was unhappy with that golden-haired brat's smug look?' Thales rolled his eyes in his heart.
"I thought …" Thales took a deep breath and looked at the pair of red eyes in front of him. He said, "We talked about it in Vine Manor. Since my blood is very tasty, as long as you forget about sucking me dry in one go, I will provide you with a small amount of blood on a regular basis. As long as you enjoy my blood and work for me, I will guarantee that you will have a safe place to stay in Constellation. "
"But Ri does not have this kind of power," Serena said slowly but surely, "to protect us."
"Alright, that's right. I am just an illegitimate child. So, it is not me, but my father who will guarantee your safety — "
Serena stared straight at him and suddenly interrupted him, "But Ri is not Ri's father, and Ri is not the king."
"So," Thales said helplessly, "I am very sorry, but you are already in Mindis Hall. Your secret has also been found out by us. I think the Covendier Family will probably not welcome you back …"
"Half a pint," the red-eyed loli said expressionlessly.
"What?"
"I need half a pint of Ri's blood every day." She looked into Thales' eyes seriously.
"Half … a pint a day?" Thales also narrowed his eyes and looked at the Archduchess of the Eastern Peninsula. 'Just for my blood?
'This boy's blood is different,' Serena said in her heart. It was the blood that was full of vitality and power that woke her up from her murky slumber. 'Although, waking up to a fellow gnawing on my neck is not very pleasant.' Serena pouted in displeasure and touched her neck.
'Don't forget, yesterday, it was this' little girl's' mummified version, 'Thales thought in disgust.' She almost took your life. ' When he thought about how a mummy once bit his neck like a water pump, Thales, whose emotions were complicated, turned his neck in an unnatural manner.
The two of them stared at each other silently until one of them broke the silence.
"Are you kidding me? Half a pint a day? You might as well suck me dry! " Thales stood on tiptoe and slapped the table (or else he would not be able to hit it because he was too short). He stared at her without showing any signs of weakness. Occasionally, when he thought of her mummified appearance, he still felt a little creeped out.
"I can't wait to suck every single drop of blood from Ri's body." Serena glared with her red eyes and replied in a serious yet creepy manner, "But it's obviously more worthwhile for Ri to provide my blood for a long time."
"You really know how to be calculative!" Thales retorted sarcastically.
"Three-quarters of a pint a day. I need to fly back as soon as possible." Serena's eyes turned cold, and her tone was unquestionable.
"Do you think I'm a cockroach that has full HP and full MP every time I level up?" Thales gritted his teeth as he stared at Serena. "Donate blood to you every day? No way!"
"I don't understand what you're talking about." The cold-faced loli chose to ignore the crazy words that the boy accidentally revealed. "Once a week, two pints."
"Once every six months! One-tenth of a pint! This is for the sake of our friendly negotiation, "Thales said fiercely.
"Once every two weeks, a pint and a half. Please use your actions to prove to me that Ri is friendly.
"At most once a month! I also need time to produce new blood after I lose blood, okay? "
Serena slowly stood up from the ground.
Her red pupils stared at Thales, making the latter's skin crawl.
"Brat, don't test my patience.
Ri can still stand here and breathe in air because I'm interested in Ri's blood. "
Serena's pupils shrank. Her expressionless face suddenly turned cold!
"If we want to leave without caring about the sacrifices, Ri can't stop us. Moreover …" Serena's eyes moved mysteriously, but her pupils never left Thales' gaze. It made the boy's hair stand on end.
"Here hides Constellation's secret heir. Ri, would some of the suzerains and nobles be interested?"
Thales immediately felt his skin crawl.
'This damned old witch.' Thales cursed in his heart.
But his field research experience from his previous life made him realize that as the other party in the negotiation, he could not show weakness.
"Alright." Thales tried his best to release a cheerful smile on his face. "Your sister must miss you very much too. Especially since you not only came to Constellation for a vacation, but also became a cute little chubby girl.
"When that time comes, I can't become the heir, and you can't return to the Night Kingdom. Since we're so compatible —"
Thales smiled even more brilliantly. "Why don't you marry me?"
His voice faded away.
Serena's expression did not change. Her gaze did not shift, and her body did not move.
But for some reason, Thales shuddered. In that instant, he felt a bone-piercing chill!
Both of them stared at each other for more than ten seconds.
In the silence, Serena spoke very slowly and uttered a sentence, "That's right.
"It seems that Ri really wants to break off relations with me."
As she spoke, Serena suddenly grinned, revealing her small fangs!
Thales was shocked.
His right hand, which was hidden behind his back, trembled. JC's dagger was ready and could be thrust at any time!
"Alright then." Serena curled up the corners of her mouth mysteriously and licked her fangs.
'I can deal with you for more than ten seconds at this angle and distance.'
Thales lowered his head and furrowed his brows tightly. He gulped hard.
As long as he did not run into Chris, Yodel would be able to rush over. The guards, Jines, and Gilbert were also in the corridor. But Istrone and Rolana … Damn it!
But since he had already received the worst outcome, Thales could only choose to accept it.
He bent his legs slightly and spread his feet apart. He prepared to raise his left arm and hold the dagger firmly in his right hand. He was about to strike a standard Iron Body Style.
'Northland Military Sword Style. Even though I've only practiced it for two hours, I hope it's worth it.' Thales smiled bitterly in his heart.
For the first time, Serena suddenly flashed a smile that made people feel uneasy.
Her childish voice rose, and it sounded exceptionally terrifying to Thales' ears.
"Then I can only compromise. According to what Ri said, once a month.
How many pints, Thales, Ri will decide. "
He used his left arm as a shield to block her first attack. Based on his experience with that mummy last night, he wondered if she would … Eh?
Thales suddenly realized what Serena said.
'What?
Compromise? '
Thales' mouth was wide open in shock. It was big enough to fit two of Serena's fists.
'I was just about to' Asasi 'when the enemy … surrendered?
Why didn't they follow the script? '
Something even more terrifying happened later on.
Two faint dimples appeared on Serena's cute face.
The little loli smiled shyly and said, "Brother Thales, I have already compromised. You have to agree to one of my conditions, okay?"
Thales could not react at all. He stared at her blankly.
When he saw the nameless girl suddenly turn into a smiling little loli, he simply thought, 'What the hell is going on?!'
His emotions changed too quickly. He could only respond passively with a dry voice.
"Wh … Ahem … What … condition?"
The little girl smiled even more brightly.
At that moment, Thales suddenly felt that the pair of strange red eyes was actually quite beautiful.
"Brother Thales, after you become king, can you support me in regaining the throne?"
'Regaining … the throne?
'The Eastern Peninsula's … Night Kingdom?
'So that's the plan. No wonder she made so many concessions.'
"Uh, this goal is too far away." Thales scratched his head. His dagger had long since been put back into his pocket. He said a little awkwardly and hesitantly, "If I really become king one day, well, according to the situation …"
Before he finished speaking, the little loli happily pounced on him!
She crashed straight into Thales' arms!
"I know, Thales is the best!"
Thales fell hard on the carpet.
But before he could pull the little loli away from his arms, he saw a pair of red pupils staring at him with watery eyes.
Looking at that pair of eyes, Thales only felt his whole body tremble.
His mind was a little messed up!
So much so that he could not remember what the two children said after they got up from the ground.
In the end, the blood supply agreement was set at one-eighth of a pint per month. For this, Thales counted with his fingers. It was not much.
But he still felt that he had suffered a loss.
Serena suddenly turned back into the expressionless loli, but her gaze was sharp as she said, "Because of this, you have obtained the help of two supra class elites and a supreme class elite. Your road to becoming the heir will only be smoother."
'Yes,' Thales thought gloomily. 'If you obtain the support of a powerful country in the Western Peninsula, your road to regaining the throne will be smoother.'
"Besides, for the sake of Thales' promise, I will work hard to help you become the heir and ascend the throne!"
'Promise …' Thales' face twitched.
'I didn't promise her just now, did I?
I didn't, right?
'I didn't …?
But, hey, what's with that cold face that suddenly turned back into?
Watching the little loli walk out shakily, Thales suddenly realized that he was drenched in cold sweat.
'Something is not right.'
Before she left, the little loli turned her head around and asked with her usual expressionless face, "Oh right, I have a question. What is the secret of Li's blood?"
"Just a little bit of it can actually wake me up?
"Last night, it wasn't just a little bit of blood!" The baffled boy grumbled unhappily, "For this question, please flip through books, search for information, search for literature, or ask my parents directly!"
Unexpectedly, Serena nodded seriously. "If it's a fee, I will." She raised her eyes. "Li's blood and my strength, Li's throne and my throne, our cooperation is actually very worthwhile."
In the next moment, Thales was surprised to see Serena sway her small body and take a step back.
"For this, I apologize for my recklessness, and I pray for Li's magnanimity and tolerance."
Serena bent down again. Her chubby little hands pinched the non-existent hem of her skirt, and with a childish voice, she said softly, "The future Prince Thales Jadestar."
Thales was stunned.
'Thales Jadestar.'
This was the first time someone called him that.
Just like what Serena said before, he was not even a prince right now.
'From a child beggar to a prince … As expected, I'm still not used to it,' Thales thought in distress.
'This witch …' Thales kept reminding himself of this as he was drenched in cold sweat. 'Even though she looked serious just now, should I say that she was indeed the former archduchess?'
As he thought of this, Thales sighed deeply. He felt that today's negotiation was a little frustrating.
He extended his hand seriously and helped the little loli up. Even though the two children's actions looked very comical, both of them became extremely serious.
"Your Highness Serena Corleone, I accept your friendship."
Thales moved his right hand in front of the little loli, Serena. His gaze was serious. "Now, we are allies."
Serena glanced at him, and her red eyes flickered.
After a moment, she also extended her chubby little hand and placed it on his palm. "Of course, Constellation and Night, happy working with you."
The two little hands held together gently.
"Also, in the future, tell your people to stay away from my guards. They have a blood feud that cannot be resolved!"
Thales looked at the little girl who was a head shorter than him and said meaningfully, "Next time, why don't you tell me about how you will be restored to the throne? You don't have to go through so much trouble to test my attitude. Istrone's acting skills are too bad."
Serena's red pupils contracted slightly, and she nodded. "Alright, future Prince Thales, if Li inherits the throne and we form the Starry Night Alliance …
"Even though we are far apart, it is not impossible for me to marry Li by chance!"
