The warden who guards the witches

In Aiden's eyes, Ophelia is not a very dangerous criminal.

This "not dangerous" does not mean that she is not strong enough. As a prince-level vampire, she was already an S-level wanted criminal before she was arrested.

However, her mind and psychology do not seem to be very mature.

It is said that Azrael, the ancestor of the vampires, was a grand duke during his lifetime. The Atlan ruins in the southeast of the continent were identified by mainland scholars as the principality he ruled during his lifetime, and the first batch of vampire princes he converted were the collateral nobles who followed him at the time.

Even though he became an undead race that can only survive by sucking blood, and the principality was therefore regarded as a heretic and was attacked and destroyed, Azrael and his family still regarded themselves as nobles. This kind of noble reserve and pride laid the foundation for the noble tradition inherited within the vampires.

Therefore, the blood clans that are close to the ancestor, that is, those with noble titles, will adhere to various ancient aristocratic etiquette. They will choose to live in mausoleums, secluded houses and castle ruins with enough pomp, capture mortals and control them to serve as their food source and servants, collect antique paintings and jewelry everywhere, and live an aristocratic life that is behind the times in the secluded world.

However, a considerable number of high-level blood clans have realized that the times have changed. With the development of civilization and technology, people's weapons have evolved from cold weapons to firearms, and the research on various monsters and monsters has become more and more in-depth. In the end, even the dragons that once galloped across the continent were almost wiped out by the rising human civilization.

As for vampires, today's heresy trial agency also has extremely systematic methods of attacking their weaknesses. Not to mention outstanding strongmen like the predecessor Aiden, just a professional team led by a senior judge is enough to pose a fatal threat to the blood clan at the prince level. There are even rumors that the ancestor of the blood clan had been attacked by the imperial army hundreds of years ago.

This change made the vampires realize that they were not powerful enough to be invincible. In the end, the so-called vampires were just a group of cursed humans.

So the low-level vampires began to learn to behave themselves, adapt to the "Convention" signed by various countries, give up sucking human blood, and become aliens under state surveillance and control.

The high-level vampires who still had a certain degree of reserve lived in seclusion, trying not to provoke the heresy trial as much as possible.

Of course, there are some exceptions.

Some high-level vampires still regard themselves as nobles of the night, insisting on their past lifestyles, and regard mortals as inferior races that can be eaten.

Ophelia is one of them.

From the archives, Ophelia is a very young vampire. It was only more than ten years ago that she became a vampire prince and began to wander around human villages to collect blood. Compared with those old guys who are hundreds of years old, her qualifications can be said to be as shallow as a baby.

But her high sense of identity as a prince of the blood clan is not comparable to others, and it can even be said that it has reached a somewhat pathological level - of course, perhaps it is precisely because of her lack of experience that she does not have a clear enough understanding of her identity.

In Aiden's eyes, this guy is simply a middle school girl who is immersed in aristocratic dreams and is ignorant of the world. Even if she is in prison, she is unwilling to face the fact that she is no longer a noble prince, but just a prisoner.

After escaping from prison twice, the remaining sentence of this guy has exceeded 100 years, and he is temporarily restricted from commuting his sentence. Aiden estimates that this guy will not be able to leave this prison in his lifetime.

Although with her level of intelligence, one person probably can't cause too much trouble, but Aiden still hopes that this long-term prisoner can become more honest as soon as possible.

After listening to Aiden's advice, Ophelia turned her face slightly: "What do you, a mortal, know? This is about the dignity of the blood prince!"

"I say, you are now a prisoner, living in a confinement room of less than three square meters, sitting by the toilet, smelling the feces left by the last person imprisoned here, talking to me about noble dignity, I really don't understand your current mentality." Aiden laughed at him without hiding.

"It's all because of you!" Ophelia glared at Aiden.

In her eyes, it was Aiden who caught her in this prison. When she was transferred from the Inquisition to the prison, it was this man who guarded her and prevented her from escaping twice.

Aiden Garrod was the culprit who made her so miserable.

"Don't just blame me. It's your own fault that you've become like this." Aiden retorted calmly, "You've been attacking human villages for ten years, capturing people and sucking their blood. The number of victims has reached hundreds. If it weren't for the fact that no lives were involved, you should have been executed long ago. I've never seen you behave yourself in prison. You've been making things difficult for me again and again. Should I indulge you? Please, this is not the era of hunting and killing vampires as soon as you saw them three hundred years ago. This world has already given you a chance. Is it difficult to abide by the rules?"

"Who wants to live like a mortal?" Ophelia still looked down on him.

"Ordinary mortals outside live better than you." Aiden said calmly, "I heard that your brother has always been a legal citizen. He even showed our prison his registration certificate."

After a moment of silence, Ophelia replied, "I don't know that kind of loser!"

"He said in the letter that he had something important to do. If he missed this time, he might not be able to see you for a few years. Your observation period was originally about a month away, but because of this, it will be extended by another week." Ai Den said slowly, "What's the point? Is it fun to trick yourself?"

"..." Ophelia didn't reply, but her expression was slightly relaxed.

"I don't know how you brothers and sisters became vampires, but I have to tell you that vampires are not a great race at all. In this era, a vampire prince may not even be able to defeat a team of inquisitors." Ai Deng showed no mercy at all, "Your nobles are just self-proclaimed names. They have neither status nor territory... They hide in a corner far away from the world like rats in the gutter, playing house with the nobles. You Are you actually enjoying it?"

"That's enough, shut up!" Ophelia couldn't listen anymore. Aiden's words kept revealing the reality that she didn't want to face.

Aiden stared at Ophelia for a while, then said: "The sentences for vampires can be stacked up to a very long time. But there is no upper limit. If you continue to cause trouble in prison, sooner or later it will become the death penalty. I advise you. Just tell me, take care of yourself."

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and left the confinement area.

Ophelia sat in the solitary room where it was completely quiet, hugging her knees and burying her pale face in them.
