Facing the Blood Disaster Flower's covetous gaze, Elena gave it a graceful smile and simply expressed her contempt.

Blood Disaster Flower: (o_o)??
"Do you want to eat my flesh? Impossible," Elena chuckled and shook her head. "Even my eyeballs will do! Princess Elena! Your beautiful blood-red pupils fascinate me deeply," the Blood Disaster Flower bargained.
"Don't worry, I'll give you the piece of flesh you want," Elena vowed, then reached out to Alucard. Alucard was confused: "I don't have any flesh that can satisfy the Blood Disaster Flower. What do you mean by reaching out to me, sister?"
"You do have it." Elena turned her head slightly, her blood-red eyes staring directly at Alucard. Alucard didn't know why, but at this moment, he felt a strange, unsettling sickness from his sister. "Give me your tie, Alucard," Elena commanded again.
Alucard took a deep breath, suppressing his anger: "If I give you the tie that represents my etiquette, my appearance will be very ungentlemanly, my sister."
"You're not listening to your sister again," Elena's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled faintly. [Alucard's SAN value -0.2] Alucard swallowed hard, feeling a strange fear towards this weak human sister of his. It was as if it was engraved in his genes, the fear a younger brother has for his sister.
"It's impossible, sister," he still resisted, "and I don't think my tie has anything to do with what you want to feed the Blood Disaster Flower."
"How could it not be related?" Elena continued to smile, "It's the heart of a witch, a prime piece of flesh!"
Alucard's eyes narrowed: "What are you talking about, sister? You seem... a bit off now."
"I'm perfectly normal, Alucard. And you think I'm not because you, this stupid little brother of mine, are just a big fool who can be easily manipulated!" Elena snorted and raised her right hand! At this moment, her right hand's skin had turned into a thick, greenish color! And there were even faint webbing between her fingers.
Alucard's eyes widened in shock! "What... is going on?! Could this be... the calamity foretold?"
"No! It's witchcraft. The witchcraft your tie clip has cast upon me. Now, the incessant croaking of those detestable frogs is almost drowning out your words." Elena continued to smile, her face remaining calm but with a hint of the sickly and the terrifying.
Alucard frowned slightly: "Sister, you're talking nonsense again. You're really... getting more and more abnormal."
"Hmph!" Elena snorted coldly, then shouted loudly! "Lord of Fear! In the name of the contract, I command you to break the witchcraft on Alucard's tie clip and remove the calamity from my body!"
"Delighted to fulfill your first request, mighty princess!" The Fear Demon nodded, and then a black mist gushed out from a meter away from Elena, quickly climbing up Alucard's tie clip!
"What... is this?!" Alucard saw the ominous black fog and shuddered! "Could it be that you, my sister - you summoned a demon?!"
Alucard shouted and was about to struggle, but he found that the ominous black mist did not harm him. Instead, the button at his collar, wrapped in the black mist, swelled up rapidly like a shriveled old skin that had suddenly absorbed water. The bow tie under Alucard's neck was pushed aside, and the button quickly transformed into a black heart the size of a fist, making a "thump thump thump" sound as it beat powerfully.
At this moment, Elena's frog-like palm, which Alucard could see with his own eyes, quickly returned to normal. Alucard was breathing heavily, and Elena directly plucked the black heart from Alucard's collar and said with a somewhat sickly smile, "What a beautiful color, isn't it?"
"I... I don't know what's going on, my sister," Alucard said seriously.
"Of course you don't. You were just used without your knowledge," Elena gently stroked Alucard's curly hair and said with a doting expression, "Don't worry, sister won't blame you. But, Alucard, you shouldn't not know when you were used."
"What do you mean, sister?" Alucard asked guiltily.
"When did your twisted feelings of hating mother and envying sister start, Alucard?" Elena whispered in his ear.
Alucard pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, it started when mother abandoned me and only took you away from the castle!"
"You're wrong, Alucard," Elena's hand gently stroked his curly hair. "It started when that guy who gave you the button whispered about mother and me's bad points in your ear."
Alucard was stunned! He immediately understood whose handiwork that button was. "Auntie was just telling the truth, and it's also a fact that mother abandoned me!" Alucard retorted.
"Then is it also a fact that you helped her harm me?" Elena held up the slimy black heart in her hand. Alucard's eyes were filled with doubt and surprise.
"Come with me, Alucard. Let's go see father together," Elena took his hand and said, "Father will surely tell you the truth about when mother abandoned you." "... Truth?"
"Yes, the truth!" Elena nodded solemnly. "Because I don't want you to misunderstand forever. The deep love my mother and I have for you." As she spoke, Elena casually tossed the black heart in her palm to the Blood Disaster Flower.
The Blood Disaster Flower excitedly swallowed the somewhat stinky thing in one gulp, with black sticky liquid dripping from its sharp teeth. "It's really... so delicious, Princess!" It said while enjoying it. "So, what can I do for you, generous Princess?"
Alucard frowned, seemingly involuntarily standing on Elena's side. "Of course, when the Bloody King returns, you should..."
"No, no, no! I've changed my mind." Elena interrupted Alucard, firmly stating: "I suddenly have a way to deal with the Bloody King. So the contract I need with you now is..."
Elena's eyes suddenly became sharp, like a true queen, calculating and commanding! "I want you - to eat my hundredth guest for me!"
Alucard suddenly trembled all over, looking at Elena in horror! "I'm not sure if you're normal now, my sister."
"Unfortunately, Princess, as far as I know, you only have 99 guests now," the Blood Disaster Flower cracked its mouth and said. "So, you should change the condition."
"No, this is the condition," Elena smiled, with a hint of morbidity. "The guest I want you to eat is the one who didn't show up today!"
"But, where is he, beautiful Princess?" the Blood Disaster Flower asked in confusion.
"He will show up," Elena said firmly. "Trust me, he will appear before you."
"What if he doesn't show up?" the Blood Disaster Flower asked with ill intentions.
"Then, according to your rules, what is the punishment for breaking the contract?" Elena asked.
The Blood Disaster Flower cracked its mouth and cackled: "Those who break the contract will be eaten by the other party! Blood and flesh, spirit and soul!"
Elena shuddered and took a deep breath. If she couldn't get rid of her hundredth guest, even if she wasn't eaten by the Blood Disaster Flower, she would surely die at the hands of "Power"! She swore, this was the last contract she would make with the Blood Disaster Flower!
"Then, okay."
