"I... can't resist your will..." The girl who claimed to be a bloody rose was still struggling. Suddenly, she knelt down on her knees. It was not a salute, but her body lost control, collapsed, and began to sob softly.

What happened? Ashu Rufate knew very well that he had not done anything - if he did it, it had at least nothing to do with this "soul control". Why did this girl do this? She was a fierce human-eating tiger before, and in a blink of an eye, she turned into a docile and pitiful kitten?

"You mean, you have to obey me?" Ashu Rufate asked tentatively.

"Yes..." It can be seen that the Blood-colored Rose didn't want to give this answer. These syllables were squeezed out from the gap between her teeth.

"Take off the helmet." Ash Rufat said. He was actually half-believing and half-doubted about this matter, but then the Blood-colored Rose really took off the helmet. Under the helmet was indeed the woman from yesterday, and it could be seen at a glance that she had a blood relationship with Rotia.

"What's your name?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"Lalia." Blood-colored Rose replied. She had hardly resisted this question, so the voice sounded more natural.

"Are you Rhodeya's sister? Where did your armor and your weapons come from? And who taught you your skills?" Asu Ruffatt sorted out his thoughts in his mind and asked. No matter what "soul control" is going on, it seems that some questions are Lalia didn't resist, and some questions she tried her best to not want to answer.

"I am her sister...my armor, weapons, and my abilities are all given to me by the Blood Duke."

"Duke of Blood?" Ashurufat has now heard of the story of this vampire. Although there are a lot of rumors, exaggerations and fabrications, all the stories have similar parts. In short, that's what happened: Kalean was destroyed by the human army and razed to the ground, but a strongest and most evil vampire escaped. The vampire called himself the Duke of Blood, and he ran to the southernmost end of human territory, a place called Sivania, which originally belonged to the Kingdom of Ryan. The vampire found a way to piece together a huge undead legion, and eventually defeated the Ryans, thus occupying Sivania, and becoming king.

I don't know what the name of this vampire who calls himself the Blood Duke (the church should have its official name, but Ash Rufate is not interested and has no time to search the relevant information carefully), but this is no longer necessary. The name is just a symbol. Since it is known that there is only the only vampire left in the world, people will definitely not be mistaken for calling him "vampire" or "blood Duke".

Ashu Rufate couldn't help but think of his dream. He rode a lifeless mount and watched the huge undead legion stagger past him silently. When he remembered this scene in the dream, he couldn't help but shivered.

"This is very far from Sivania... Tell me what the relationship between you and the Blood Duke." Ashrufate said. To be honest, it is understandable that weapons and armor can be understood, but it is incredible that a teenage girl can become a master who is proficient in swords and magic at once. She can easily kill dozens of armed gangsters without changing her face and heart. She will undoubtedly have to be rigorously trained and countless practical experiences to finally obtain, and the talent requirements are extremely high.

"I am his slave, but I eventually... ran away...but he controlled my soul."

"You mean... am I a vampire? Or do I look a lot like that vampire?"

"It's very similar." Lalia replied. She struggled hard, but some kind of force from her body forced her to obey. "But you... don't have this scar on his face (when he said this, Ash Rufate couldn't help but touch the scar on his nose). And his eyes were cold and silent, like a lifeless puppet."

Ashu Rufate took a breath. He began to understand what happened. In short, the deep part of Lalia's soul had been filled with the command "must obey the vampire" in some way - although Ashu Rufate was just like that vampire, for this reason, she also had to obey Ashu Rufate...

Wait...that dream...that is so real...no, that should be a real dream! Who am I?!

Ashu Rufate drove this question out of his mind, and it was not the time to consider this issue for the time being.

"How did you become a female slave of a vampire?" he asked. Sivania was far away from Groney. From the map, it was almost from the northernmost end of human territory to the southernmost end, and it was a long journey.

This time, Lalia did not struggle too hard, and soon began to tell in a relatively calm tone. The beginning of the story was not beyond the expectations of Ashrufate: the two sisters were orphans in the city of Eagle, but one day, Lalia, as her sister, was robbed by robbers while taking to the streets and then sold to slave merchants. Although the slave trade was originally strictly controlled by the state, because of the war at that time, Groney's political situation was in chaos, causing the merchants to lose supervision for a long time.

In this way, some bold guys began to engage in the illegal slave trade, mainly robbing and selling beautiful little girls. The destination they sold these little girls was also clear - Sivania, which was very far away from Gruni, was a land ruled by vampires. This is because the vampire is very picky in food, and he can only drink the blood of young and beautiful girls - so such girls can be sold at a high price in Sivania. Lalia's situation is no exception. She was bought by someone, and then the new owner quickly gave her to the vampire.

"You said, you were given to a vampire?" Ashu Rufat asked. He had heard about vampires who liked the blood of young girls.

"Yes, my master... gave it to the vampire. I secretly heard their conversation. They said that vampires were not interested in treasures, money and other things, and the only thing they like was the beautiful girl. If you want to please him, the only way is to give him a beautiful female slave. So this kind of girl is expensive in Sivania. Those who bought me want to please vampires to get permission to do business and tax benefits."

"Business license? What about that place in Sivania...? I mean that place is prosperous?"

"I haven't been to many places, but... there, the city called 'New City' is really very prosperous."

"More prosperous than Eagle City?"

"More prosperous than Eagle City."

"You were given to a vampire, but what's going on with your power? How did vampires give you power?"

"I don't know." Lalia replied with a little crying voice. "He came to me... in front of us. At that time, I thought I was dead and would definitely be eaten. But for some reason, the vampire did not eat us, but proposed a deal to us."
