Dracula's words made Elena's hair stand on end.
"Why do you say so, Father?"
she asked in confusion.
Dracula's face was dark and chaotic. It seemed as if anger, pity, fear, and reluctance, among other complex emotions, were all present on his face, indescribable.
"Because you failed to obtain the power of the most powerful vampire. You failed to use it to completely rid yourself of the evil bloodline of the *****. One day, you will surely become a ***** again!"
Dracula bared his two sharp fangs and said viciously,
"So, I'm sorry, Elena. Before the true awakening of the *****, I must kill you first!"
Elena froze, and her blood-red pupils constricted!
At this moment, she recalled Aunt Mary's seventh piece of advice again - don't trust your father, he will kill you!
This disgusting piece of advice, Elena had instinctively chosen to forget.
Because her father's love for her was so deep, even in the "Future Visible", he was willing to cut off one of his arms to help her complete the coming-of-age ceremony as predicted. But at this moment, she suddenly realized that everything her father had done was merely to resist the arrival of the "Unspeakable Word".
Elena's face turned pale...
What's going on?
Could it be that because of my own negligence, my final choice is still wrong?
That's why the "Power" said the prophecy is not over?
So, only the right choice can end the prophecy?
But what is the right choice? !
Elena's mind was in a complete mess. However, at this moment, Dracula's sharp claws were already mercilessly piercing towards Elena's heart! But!
"Snap"!
Alucard grabbed Dracula's wrist in one go, causing that terrifying force capable of piercing through everything to come to an abrupt halt.
"Alucard..."
Dracula said viciously,
"You've obtained the power of the root, and now you want to defy your father?" !
Alucard opened his palm:
"No, Father. But you can't hurt my sister because of this! She's our family!"
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Dracula laughed wildly,
"Do you think I'm not heartbroken, Alucard? If she weren't my beloved daughter, she would have died long ago! But ending her doomed fate is not only my will, but also your mother's will!"
Alucard trembled all over, but suddenly felt unable to move: "Father..."
Elena heaved a heavy sigh from her chest. Only at this moment did she realize that her death had just begun.
But...
"You're wrong, Father." Elena raised her blood-red eyes and said firmly, "My choice is right!"
Dracula and Alucard were stunned.
"Because in this damned world, as long as I'm still alive! Every choice I make is the right one!!"
Elena shouted loudly.
"But you've disappointed me so much, Elena. Your coming-of-age ceremony failed!" Dracula was heartbroken and even shed tears, "Believe me, death will be happier than life. I'm doing this for your own good, Elena!"
"No!" Elena threw the frog in her hand and snorted, "My life and death should be in my own hands, Father."
The frog hit the ground and turned back into a handsome man. One minute passed. The handsome Lord of Fear straightened his clothes.
"You are such an enchanting princess, always making fear feel afraid. And your skin is so thick. You treated me like that just now, and now you still want me to protect you?"
"Whether you protect me or not is your own business. I didn't beg you!" Elena said viciously. "Oh! You're so charming." The Lord of Fear drooled.
"Don't resist, Elena." Dracula raised his sharp claws again and said solemnly, "Otherwise, when you become a ***** in the future, you will surely hate me for not killing you earlier." Elena held her breath.
"Ha ha ha!" But at this moment, a loud laugh suddenly echoed in the empty auditorium! Then, everyone saw several streams of crimson blood swirling in the void in the center of the auditorium, gradually condensing together.
In an instant, a human figure seemingly completely made of blood appeared in mid-air.
"Old friend, hold your horses."
The blood figure spoke with a "gulping" sound in the void.
"Before you kill her, please let me first break the blood contract between her and my daughter!!"
The blood figure said viciously.
Elena's pupils shrank in tension. Then, she heard Dracula slowly recite:
"Bloody King..."
Bloody King? !
Elena was shaking all over...
The Bloody King had actually been resurrected today!
It seemed that there were quite a few people who wanted her dead...
At the same time, a blood-red bat slowly flew in through the window and landed beside Dracula, transforming into a charming figure. It was her aunt, Margaret.
"Your Majesty, you were too impulsive. How could you just kill Elena like that?"
Margaret kindly advised.
"Elena is the princess of the vampires. The unawakened blood in her body can be perfectly absorbed by us vampires. If we can drink her fresh blood, even if we can't become root-level, we will definitely be the top among the kings, Your Majesty."
Damn!
You (bip)ed (bip)!
She had wondered why her aunt was suddenly so kind. It turned out she had been eyeing her blood all along!
Elena was so angry that she gritted her teeth. This (bipbip) stupid time travel.
All these top-level bigwigs were actually hoping for her death!
"I say, you all have had enough! Do you really think a few kings can kill me?"
Elena was beyond tolerance.
"Don't forget that even the 'Special Inviter' of the root-level couldn't do anything to me. So why are you all so confident?"
Margaret fanned herself with a smile and said teasingly, "You really are a vampire princess who knows nothing about the vampire race. Of course, after all, you're still just a human!" Then, Margaret leaned close to Elena's ear and said with a smile, "The first embrace of a vampire can turn a human who has their blood drained into a blood slave of the vampire. Similarly, Alucard, as the son of Your Majesty, has a stronger bond with Your Majesty than the first embrace."
"So, Alucard cannot disobey Your Majesty's orders, no matter how powerful he is! And this is the strict hierarchy of the vampire race - the system of the great nobles." Elena couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. No wonder Alucard had been trembling and motionless since he acted once. It turned out he was under Dracula's bloodline control. Vampires always prided themselves on being nobles with a strict hierarchy!
And among this strict hierarchy of nobles, there is always only one great noble - Dracula! Thank goodness I'm human! But this meant that not only could Alucard not be her ally, but he would also become her enemy!
At this moment, Margaret revealed a graceful and noble smile:
"Although the root cannot be eliminated, do you think that one root, plus the three of us kings, working together, the root-level existence beside you will still have the ability to protect you from death? Haha, hahaha..."
In Margaret's laughter, Elena's eyes gradually filled with despair.
