Tome of Blood

Charlotte thought she would be able to last until half a month later.

But it turned out that she couldn't stand it in less than ten days.

In order to prevent falling into a deep sleep, she must control herself from going to sleep, not to mention the need to suppress the urge to fall asleep, even if she didn't, it is impossible for a person to stay awake for ten days and a half months.

Being able to persist for such a long time is already considered a peculiarity of blood clan physique.

"That...Lord Charlotte, have you been too tired recently? I think you should have a good sleep."

In the study, looking at the swollen dark circles under her eyes, Charlotte, who almost yawned every few seconds, was so sleepy that she could hardly keep her eyes open, Agnes, the vampire "apprentice maid" who was holding tea, said cautiously.

Charlotte braced herself up and glanced at her, chuckled lightly, and said calmly:

"You don't have to test me."

"I've already said that as long as you do your best, I will naturally fulfill my promise to you."

Agnes' face froze, and she said with a dry smile:

"How...how is it possible?"

"After knowing your true identity, Agnes has completely given up the idea of ​​confronting you!"

Charlotte squinted at her:

"So, it changed to secretly investigate my past experience?"

Agnes froze and her expression was a little unnatural.

Charlotte sighed. While rubbing her temples, she handed the signed letter of appointment for the new mayor of Beigang to Agnès:

"Send this letter of appointment to the city hall, and... for the rest of the time, you and Lahair will follow Sebas to work."

Agnes, a blood race...although she chose to submit to her, she still has some small thoughts of her own. It is a hidden danger not to be able to stare at her personally during her deep sleep.

Simply, Charlotte felt that it would be better to throw it to Sebastian to manage it.

She still has considerable trust in the management ability of the elf butler who once created the largest underground gang in Boulder in one fell swoop.

After hearing Charlotte's order, the blood girl hesitated.

But seeing Charlotte's unquestionable expression, recalling the terrifying power she felt in the spiritual world, she finally swallowed, nodded obediently, and exited the study.

After sending Agnès and Rachel to Sebas to work, Charlotte finally got rid of another trouble before she fell asleep.

Picking up the cup of coffee with milk that was on the desk, she raised her neck and drank it down in one gulp.

However, after so many days, the refreshing effect of coffee has been greatly reduced.

No matter how much she drinks now, it will be difficult for Charlotte to concentrate as before.

"The new mayor of Beigang has been elected, and the plan and direction for the next few months have been roughly discussed with Sebastian. Even Viscount Remisio has already greeted him in advance. If the territory really happens Rebellion, Castel can get foreign aid from the Remisio family..."

"There is no new news from the Ness clan, but... I have already told Sebas how to contact Earl Urst."

"The biggest hidden danger is probably the legendary blood descendant named Maxim, who lost an avatar, and I don't know whether the memory of the avatar will be shared with the main body..."

"But it shouldn't be a big problem, after all... I just replaced the Dark Night Castle with the church of the Holy King's Court, so my identity should not be exposed."

"Phew... I've done everything I can, and I've made all the arrangements I can think of. Castel is so big, I can't do everything myself. Next It's up to Sebas."

"Calculating the time, the safety preparations for the deep sleep that Sebas said are almost complete."

Thinking of this, Charlotte put down the quill in her hand.

She got up and walked towards the secret room of the Earl's Mansion.

The secret room of the Earl's Mansion is located in the Earl's bedroom. The only people who know about it are Charlotte and Sebastian, and at most one Niss.

One of these two is Charlotte's blood family member, and the other is Charlotte's contracted servant. Even if she fell into a deep sleep, she would not be able to betray her.

When Charlotte entered the bedroom, Sebastian was making some final preparations, and there was even Ness, a black cat who was getting fatter and fatter.

Seeing Charlotte, Sebastian bowed respectfully and said elegantly:

"Great master, you came at the right time, I have prepared the sleeping place you need!"

"Sleeping place?"

Charlotte froze.

Sebas nodded, smiled and said:

"Yes! The place of deep sleep! Made by the most famous elf craftsman on Luna Island, it is absolutely safe, absolutely luxurious, and matches your identity incomparably!"

"Don't worry, I didn't reveal your identity, and the other party didn't know my origin when I customized it!"

build?

custom made?

Charlotte was slightly taken aback.

She walked into the secret room suspiciously, and then saw a... gorgeous black coffin in the secret room.

Charlotte: ...

"Great master!"

Sebastian followed her in and introduced enthusiastically:

"This coffin is called the Heart of Eternity. It is made from the core branches of the tree of life that has grown for thousands of years on Luna Island. It is inlaid with six thousand high-quality magic crystals, and it is combined with elven magic and ancient arcane techniques to set the coffin. Twelve layers of high-level solidified magic, even in front of the legend, can't shake the slightest..."

"The sculptures on the surface and the pattern of thorns and roses were painted by the best elf sculptors. The paint is a mixture of dragon blood and dragon bone powder, which has extraordinary magic and psychic effects."

"For the interior, I have prepared the best silk velvet in the Far East, which is soft and absolutely comfortable. I also prepared fresh sleeping roses and calming flowers around, which can help you carry out the deepest meditation!"

The more Sebastian introduced, the more excited he became.

And Charlotte's face was going black.

"So... you've been preparing for so long, and that's why you prepared such a coffin?"

She twitched the corner of her mouth and asked.

"Are you... dissatisfied?"

Sebastian was stunned and asked.

He hesitated, and said cautiously:

"Master, this is already the best coffin that the craftsmen of Luna Island can make in a short period of time. The elves of Luna Island often cooperate with the blood clan of the Ness clan, and their skills in this area are quite superb... "

Charlotte shook her head with a strange expression on her face:

"No, that's not what I mean, I want to ask...why is it a coffin?"

This time, it was Sebastian's turn to be puzzled:

"Ah? You... didn't you ask me to prepare the coffin? Isn't the coffin the sanctuary's sleeping place?"

Charlotte: ...

She glanced at Sebastian speechlessly, but was speechless for a while.

Feeling more and more sleepy, she sighed and said:

"Forget it, forget it, the coffin is the coffin."

Although sleeping in a coffin is still too abstract and advanced for Charlotte, but due to time constraints, she has no better choice.

Moreover, even though it was a coffin, judging from Sebastian's various introductions, it was really a good sleeping place.

Sebastian really had a heart. In the secret room, apart from the coffin in the center, a complicated magic circle had already been drawn around it. Even with Charlotte's half-level magic, he could feel the extraordinaryness of it. , 80% still have Nice's handwriting.

She gently stroked the textured surface of the coffin, and said to Sebastian:

"Sebas, while I am asleep, I will leave the management of the territory to you."

"Of course, great master, your loyal Sebastian will guard Castel and wait for your awakening..."

"Meow! And me! And me!"

Beside Sebastian, the black cat Niss also held his head high and proudly said.

Charlotte nodded slightly, and looked at these two kin and servants with satisfaction:

"Then, I'll leave it up to the two of you next."

The endurance limit of sleeping is approaching, and Charlotte no longer insists on it.

After saying goodbye to the two followers, she closed the door of the secret room, changed into her nightgown and lay down in the coffin.

But as soon as he lay down, the intense drowsiness could no longer hold back.

Charlotte only took a few breaths before falling into a deep sleep...
