A strange world

Chapter 696 Chapter 93. Ruby

That night, Annan, as the queen's knight, went to the outskirts of Huadu and the honor guard of the city guard to greet the Scarlet Princess.

The Scarlet Princess successfully moved into the princess's garden hut - on the surface, she had a close relationship with the princess, and secretly she could keep an eye on the fake princess.

There was no time to publicize the news that the Crimson Princess had entered the city. It was the next day that the people of Huadu learned that the legendary vampire princess had arrived in Huadu.

The flower capital was abuzz with excitement. The residents gathered in front of the city lord's palace and unexpectedly... welcomed the vampire princess.

"I didn't know it was so popular..."

During the day, the Scarlet Princess who "stayed up late" stared blankly at the hustle and bustle outside the window.

"After all, humans also love to read vampire novels."

Princess Crimson thought that Annan was mocking her, and her cheeks were slightly red, revealing two small fangs: "I'll bite you again!"

Annan looked out the window with Princess Crimson for a while, then walked out.

"Where are you going?"

"Send that goblin away."

"Remember to come back and accompany me." Scarlet Princess explained in a panic when Annan looked over, "The human city lord said there will be a banquet tonight."

"knew."

After saying hello to Lucy and Dracula, Annan returned to the warehouse.

When asked when the goblin leader was planning to leave, it showed hesitation: "Um...can I stay a few more days?"

"Why?"

"In ancient times, we goblins were extremely powerful and created one glorious goblin empire after another, standing at the apex of all races..."

Annan didn't believe it, but Itilia agreed: "It's true... At that time, they could even become the enemy of the elves."

The elves at that time were just like humans today, and the enemies of the ancient elves... were at least at the level of the thirteen clans of ratmen.

"and after?"

"The arrogant goblin provoked a powerful god and issued a divine punishment curse."

"It's the elves and gods!" the goblin leader jumped and screamed.

Annan thought that the elves are so beautiful...and love nature so much. The goblins must have committed an unforgivable mistake: "So what does it have to do with staying with you for a few more days?"

The goblin leader said he wanted to prepare some gifts.

No need to ask, the gift was of course paid for by Annan.

Annan agreed and also borrowed a team of Olmedo's knights from Free City to protect the goblin leader.

This will allow the goblin leader to run around the capital for looking like a "house goblin", and in addition, they will follow it to the southern moors - making sure it gets there and keeping an eye on what it says and does.

In the evening, Annan returned to the city lord's mansion and prepared to attend the banquet that night with Princess Crimson.

"Tonight is a good opportunity for negotiation. Have you decided what you want?"

In view of what Annan has done these days, Dracula treats Annan with a little more respect: "We don't have much ambition, and we don't want to get too involved with humans. We just want to protect the Crimson Castle and the princess..."

"Then let Huadu admit the existence of Crimson Castle."

"I don't need human recognition," the Crimson Princess snorted.

Her opinion was not important. Annan looked at the head maid and Lucy agreed.

Annan didn't know what to say about the Crimson Princess... They went to such great lengths to pretend to be a princess just to "keep the Crimson Castle stable". This was completely inconsistent with the evil camp of vampires... but it was better than "pretending to be a princess and sneaking into Huadu but not yet." Think about what to do next" is much more reasonable.

Annan, Scarlet Princess, the fake princess and Lucy came to the banquet. Compared to last night's grand dinner, this welcome banquet only had Huadu's own people, plus at most two or three legends and epic curiosity to join in the fun.

Annan accompanied Princess Crimson to meet with the city lord and told them the demands of Crimson Castle.

"That's no problem. I can make the decision and hand over that land to you." The city owner was more generous than expected. "Other than that, what else can we do?"

Facing the city lord's sincerity, Princess Crimson thought for a while: "I want to see the magic image..."

Looking at the astonished city lord, Lucy holding her forehead, and the fake princess puckering her lips, Annan thought that it was okay...the harmless Crimson Princess could live longer than the ambitious Crimson Princess. The guests were thinking that they should go back and ask the younger members of the family what their magical images were.

In the middle of the party, Princess Crimson ran out to watch the magic image in the theater.

Annan thought she was just playing the role of a newcomer to Huadu, or Idilia asked her to help promote it - but it turned out that she really watched "The Fall of the Mage Tower" with great gusto and cried silently at the end.

"I want you to take a magical image of a vampire!"

"Magic images are not that easy..."

"I don't care!" Princess Crimson refused, "As Princess Crimson, I order you, now!"

"I want to think about the script." Annan said perfunctorily.

But when the interest of a young lady who can satisfy any request is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish: "I'll give you one...three days!"

"Who will act?"

"Of course you are."

Annan looked at her: "Where is the heroine?"

Princess Crimson dodged Annan's gaze: "Why are you looking at me? I am Princess Crimson, a member of the Blood Parliament. It is impossible for me to act as a magic image. Well... or else, forget it..."

Annan swallowed back "I just want you to recommend some vampire girls."

They came out of the theater, and Annan took her around the flower capital. The Scarlet Princess completely regarded this visit as a fun trip.

When passing a shop, Princess Crimson suddenly stopped and asked as if she was attracted by something, "What is this place?"

"This is... a tavern. There are only drunkards and turbid air inside." Annan wanted Princess Crimson to leave quickly.

"How come the tavern uses gems as a sign?" Princess Crimson asked puzzledly.

"The Gem Tavern... let's go to another theater quickly. "Annan Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is about to be staged." Annan urged.

At this time, a fat man squeezed out of the store:

"Welcome to Sparrow Gem Shop! Miss, do you want to go in and pick something?"

Princess Crimson's hesitation turned into determination, she lifted up her skirt, jumped out of the carriage, and walked into the jewelry store.

Annan stared coldly at the smiling fat boss and followed the Scarlet Princess in.

Princess Crimson ignored the dazzling array of jewelry and the accosting waiter, and went straight to a red gem that was about the size of a goose egg and as red as blood.

It was as if a voice was calling her to pick it up.

Princess Crimson raised her head: "Annan, I want that..."

"If you like it, buy it..."

"I do not have money."

"Me neither." Annan said decisively.

"I want..." Crimson Princess begged softly.

Annan wanted to refuse, but thinking of the joy of the Scarlet Princess these days... I am afraid this is the only time the Scarlet Princess comes to a human city-state after running away for hundreds of years...

"...Okay, you go back to the car and wait for me."
