Chapter 228 : Queen Candel
Through Elucia's explanation, Lonis understood their plan.
It turned out that Guyanis had long worried that the interior of the royal capital wasn't safe either. With the current turbulent situation, some unsettling incidents were very likely to occur.
So they decided to expose a flaw deliberately to see if anyone would take the bait.
And in fact, just as she had predicted.
"The real maid has already been replaced. That maid just now was a demon disguised and infiltrated."
"A demon... infiltrated?"
"Mm, originally I didn't know what her purpose was either. But until she fed you that pill, I could confirm she was a member of the vampire clan."
"Wait, a pill?!"
Only then did Lonis suddenly remember that she had been forcibly fed a pill by that woman.
And when Elucia was talking to her, she still hadn't released her suspended hands... she had been communicating with Elucia while hanging in restraints the whole time.
"Elucia, quickly release me! What about the pill?!"
Lonis wasn't worried about dying, just afraid that when the drug took effect, she would bleed from all seven orifices, suffering agonizing pain yet unable to die.
But Elucia just smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, it won't be a problem. In fact, when you chose physical immortality and not aging, toxins lost their effect on you."
"Oh...?"
"Because all toxins will convert into 'aphrodisiac medicine'."
"What?!"
"When it takes effect, you'll probably feel like being rubbed by over ten vibrators simultaneously—it'll feel amazing. And down there, it won't stop either, gushing streams of fluid~~"
"Nooo!"
Although Elucia spoke lightly, such a result would be too terrible.
She wanted to beg Elucia to save her, but with both hands tied, she could only shake her chest... This posture was like an unsatisfied girl trying to seduce Elucia.
"I don't want this! Elucia, is there any way?"
"I don't know~~ Hehe~~~"
Although saying she didn't know, Elucia's eyes clearly showed a hint of mischief.
Lonis knew this was the black-hearted girl being naughty. It seemed if she didn't beg properly, Elucia definitely wouldn't help her.
So despite the humiliation, Lonis could only say:
"Master Elucia, please... mm... save... submissive maid Lonis... If it's not Master... I... I'm just... just a helpless girl..."
After saying these words, Lonis's ears turned completely red.
Elucia nodded with satisfaction and said: "Mm, that's more like it."
"Master..."
"Mm, then prepare yourself, Lonis. I'm going to start detoxifying you."
"Prepare?"
Lonis stared in surprise because right before her eyes, Elucia took out a small whip from her storage ring.
It seemed this black-hearted girl wanted to viciously whip her.
"Wait, what's going on? Why do you need to..."
"Of course it's to help you relieve desire in advance."
"Eh?"
"Accept my lashing! Hahaha!!!"
Elucia grinned wickedly and "forcefully" lashed the whip against Lonis's chest.
"Ah ah ah, no, no, spare me!!!"
"Wuu wuu, wuu wuu wuu!!!"
"Help! Someone save me!! It hurts, it hurts so much ah ah ah!!!"
After whipping for a quarter-hour, Elucia walked out with satisfaction.
And that maid seemed to have been waiting outside for a long time.
"Lady Candel, did you... did you whip that disguised girl to death?"
Those fierce whipping sounds and heart-rending moans made even a demon feel somewhat uneasy... But the vampire maid didn't notice that her ears and eyes were shrouded in black light.
Elucia was using this method to interfere with her senses, making her mistake herself for Vampire Queen Candel.
"Hmph, more or less. Although this was a fake, I finally got to vent the hatred in my heart."
"My lady..."
"Watching a girl who looks like Princess Sethilu gradually torn and bloodied before me, constantly begging me, but finally still being whipped—it's truly a satisfying thing."
"My lady... I can understand your hatred for Princess Sethilu, but if this fake is beaten to death, the shield guards will surely notice something."
"Hmph, I don't care. You were sent by that Mivira fellow, right? Your mission went well—you can go back for your reward."
"..."
The vampire maid was stunned. In fact, she even knew Lady Candel's personality.
Only caring about her own pleasure, having no sense of the big picture or strategic maneuvering... And the reason Lady Candel invaded the Bright Ember Kingdom was only to take revenge on Princess Sethilu.
Some vampires didn't want Lady Candel as their leader, preferring the more scheming Lord Mivira to lead instead.
But...
Who made Candel's strength far exceed even top-tier vampires?
Because her bloodline contained not only vampire power, but also the power of the Colotia royal family.
Rumors said Candel was King Prince Ruowei Palace's illegitimate daughter, the fruit of his youthful love with a vampire. If this were true, it would explain why Candel hated Princess Sethilu and wanted to invade the Bright Ember Kingdom.
"My lady, but if I leave, the intelligence network in the royal palace..."
"All go back for blood rewards... What's wrong? I'm giving you vacation time and you're still not happy?!"
"No, no! My lady, we'll return immediately."
Commanded by Candel, the vampire maid felt nervous but also somewhat relieved.
Finally, it could end...
During these days of lurking in the Bright Ember Kingdom, she had been constantly anxious, afraid of being discovered by those shield guards. After all, if she were caught, she would definitely be flayed alive and subjected to extremely harsh interrogation.
"My lady, do I still need to provide you with an escape route?"
"Hmph, no need. I'm so powerful—if I want to escape, who could block my path?"
"This subordinate obeys orders."
......
Watching the vampire spies gradually withdrawing into the night, Nalonaté frowned.
She looked at General Guyanis beside her and said with slight dissatisfaction: "Sister Guyanis, is that ancestor called Elucia really no problem? We finally caught these vampires' weak point—why not capture them all for interrogation?"
"Haha, of course there's no problem... In fact, Ancestor Elucia's actions this time were extremely shrewd."
"Eh?"
"Her method clearly tells the demon side that we've already discovered your spy traces. But we're not worried at all—we're not afraid of your surveillance."
"..."
"This confidence will make the demon side wonder whether Princess Sethilu's serious injury is really just false news. Or perhaps it's a smokescreen we deliberately threw out. They'll become even more indecisive and won't dare take this opportunity to invade the Bright Ember Kingdom."
"I see!"
Nalonaté's eyes widened as she suddenly understood.
"Moreover, although war is war, this is currently a ceasefire period."
"What...?"
"Being able to create less killing and hatred is also a good thing."
Gazing at the distant night sky, Guyanis murmured with a sigh.
