When Elena opened the door to the lounge, Alucard was sitting on the sofa looking bored. Because Nini had climbed onto the table and made a mess of the food all over herself. "You're finally here, my sister," Alucard stood up and tried to be elegant, "According to this child, she's your blood contract partner. Since that's the case, you should take better care of her." "Uh, I will," Elena said shamefully.
Ribbit! Sure enough, at this moment, Elena suddenly heard the croaking of a frog. She knew that her frog disaster had begun again. But there was no way to avoid it, so she didn't want to hide anymore.
"Did you fall under a witch's spell?" The Lord of Terror was startled and then growled, "This brat actually dared to torment the tool that makes me comfortable?" "I think he's about to break down!!"
Elena frowned: "To be precise, we are in a contractual relationship now. We are each other's tools." "Uh... No! What I mean is, please don't keep emphasizing how good my skills are... Um, emphasizing that I make you feel good." Elena added again.
"It doesn't matter. I will save you. Anyone who dares to touch the most important thing to me will drown in fear!" "No, no, no! You can't!" Elena held onto the Lord of Fear. "We have a contract. This isn't something I need you to do for me."
"Contract..." The Lord of Fear glared at Alucard, trembling all over as he tried to stop his confusion. "Yes, contract, contract..."
"Sister, you seem... very abnormal." Alucard mused, his gaze filled with a hint of menace. "Who were you talking to just now?" "Talking to myself!" Elena pushed the Lord of Fear away and looked at Alucard seriously. "I've been rehearsing a play recently and got a bit carried away. I'm sorry for being so impolite."
Alucard thought for a moment and relaxed his guard. "I was wondering, if you found me abnormal, what would you do?" Elena asked.
Alucard slowly turned his head and after a long pause, said, "Nothing. You are my sister. According to tradition and etiquette, I think I would take good care of you."
"But Father said that if he found me abnormal, everyone in the castle should kill me immediately. Why don't you?" Elena asked again.
Alucard's eyes widened. "How did you know about this!"
"How I knew isn't important. What is important is why?" Elena asked calmly.
Alucard looked at Elena in surprise. "You know Father ordered to kill the abnormal you, but you don't know why?"
"Yes, so, would you like to tell me?" Elena asked again.
Alucard took a deep breath and then frowned. "Of course, it's because Father is worried that you will become like Mother again. No, to be precise, he's worried that you will become a *****! Actually, everyone in the castle is very worried."
Elena was lost in thought for a long time. "If I'm abnormal, I will become... like Mother?" Elena found that she couldn't say the word "*****" even if she tried to imitate the other person's tone.
"You may not become a *****, but if you do, you will definitely no longer be normal. So, Father ordered that if you are found abnormal, it will be regarded as you having succeeded as a *****, and you will be killed immediately! In short, you must be split before you fully grow up!" Alucard said viciously.
Elena's heart was pounding. She couldn't believe it. "Even if it's a mistake, no one will be spared. Was Mother that terrifying to you all?" Elena murmured.
"You should know about the horror of Mother, my sister." Alucard took a deep breath. "You lived with Mother for so many years. Until Mother died, you never left her side. Did you never feel that Mother... she was abnormal?"
Elena paused, trying to search her memory, but all she could remember was Mother's tenderness and smile. She had never felt that she was abnormal.
"How did Mother die? My sister." Alucard asked.
Elena paused: "She died of illness. After Mother brought me back to the human world, she accidentally contracted the plague and died."
"It seems you really know nothing." Alucard shook his head, his eyes filled with pain. "Mother gave you all her tenderness, but in front of me and Father, she showed a completely distorted and crazy side. 'Sure enough, she loved you the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most...'"
Alucard said, his teeth biting so hard that blood came out, in unbearable pain. He grabbed Elena's shoulders and trembled, "I'm jealous of you, my sister! I also hate our mother. She never regarded me, a vampire, as her son!"
Alucard took a deep breath, then let go of Elena's shoulders after a long while, as if he had run out of strength.
"I'm going to prepare the scepter and the crown for you, my sister."
He walked past Elena coldly but suddenly stopped and turned around. "Mother died to protect you. Because she was afraid that in her abnormal state, she might hurt you, so she chose... suicide."
Elena's bloodshot eyes widened. "You killed mother... my sister." Alucard said resentfully and walked towards the door again.
"Alucard!" Elena called him back. "I know you love me and mother, that's why you hate us so much! Let go of your prejudice, okay? I love you, Alucard! Mother must have loved you too! She must have abandoned you because..."
"Because she had no choice?" Alucard interrupted coldly. "It doesn't matter anymore. I admit that you did give me the most unforgettable warm times in my life, but they are all in the past."
"Alucard!" Elena called him again. "What else is there, my sister?" He turned around coldly.
Elena walked up to him and after a long while, reached out her hand. "I want your bow tie!"
"Why?" Alucard frowned.
"Because I want to prove to you - you are a big fool!" Elena said and reached out to take off Alucard's bow tie!
"Lord of Fear! I, Elena, in the name of the contract, please use the ancient curse to make this item that is causing me disaster - collapse!"
"Happy to complete your second request, noble vampire princess." Lord of Fear said and raised his finger, touching the air one meter in front of Elena. Immediately, his finger turned into thick ominous black fog, quickly wrapping around Alucard's neck!
"What... is this?" Alucard exclaimed. "Who's by your side!! Who is the Lord of Fear!!"
However, before Alucard could react, he saw the first button of his shirt below his neck suddenly "thump" like a heart. In an instant! The shriveled button seemed to absorb water and rapidly expand! Rapidly bulge! Rapidly grow! Eventually becoming a black heart the size of a fist, thumping powerfully beneath Alucard's chin.
It was at this moment that Elena suddenly felt the croaking of the frogs around her disappear. The spell was broken! But, looking at the ordinary bow tie in her hand, Elena felt a bit like a fool. The witch's heart wasn't the bow tie, but the first button on Alucard's shirt?
