Marchioness Amelia

Amelia!

The familiar name stirred something in Chen Mo's heart, and then the image of a noble and aloof female vampire elder appeared in Chen Mo mind.

Could it be her?

In Underworld, the highest authority in the vampire family is the three elders. The other two are Marcus, the Progenitor Vampire, and Victor, the great Lord. The only female elder of equal status to them, Amelia, has always had a mysterious background.

In the beginning, there was only one vampire in the world: Marcus.

Due to the special blood in his body, he and his brother William underwent a mutation after being bitten by bats and wolves respectively, becoming extremely powerful. Moreover, they do not age or die over time, making them true immortals.

However, they are not perfect either.

Marcus became a vampire, needing to drink blood to survive, and was terrified of sunlight, only able to appear at night, while William became a werewolf.

Unlike Marcus, William completely transformed into a Beast, losing all human reason and becoming extremely ferocious and bloodthirsty. Many humans were bitten by him and eventually turned into werewolves themselves.

Like vampires, powerful werewolves have a fatal weakness: silver. Silver weapons can inflict massive damage on them, even be fatal.

To avoid being discovered by humans, Marcus survives by drinking the blood of animals and livestock. Unlike the rational Marcus, the crazed William attacks civilians everywhere, and the number of werewolves increases, bringing great disaster to humanity.

As William's biological brother, Marcus is the only person William still remembers after William loses his mind and becomes Beast. Marcus has always wanted to find his brother William.

However, being a vampire, he is afraid of sunlight and cannot move around during the day.

Therefore, seeing the situation gradually spiraling out of control, in order to curb the werewolf's rampage and find his brother William, Marcus approached Victor, the powerful Lord had been leading his Knight and troops to eliminate the werewolves and protect the local order.

Of course, this wasn't the Victor who was in his prime, but rather the old Victor, after decades of fighting werewolves, was bedridden and nearing death.

Marcus and Victor made a deal.

Marcus tells Victor the secret of immortality and turns him into a vampire. Victor agrees to help Marcus find his brother, William, the Progenitor Lycan, but he must not harm him.

After the agreement was reached, Victor and his powerful army became vampires, Victor naturally became the ruler of this vampire army.

This is also why he was able to become one of the three elders and rule the vampires together with Marcus, the Progenitor Vampire. In terms of status, he was above Marcus, the progenitor, and most vampires respected him.

Elder Amelia's identity has always been a mystery, but now it seems that the Amelia mentioned by Andrew is very likely one of the three future vampire elders.

Marquis Leonard is extremely powerful, and it's highly likely that Marcus turned her into a vampire in order to use her power to find William.

As for why it wasn't Marquis Leonard himself, Chen Mo had no idea for the time being.

Having figured out the reason for Andrew's recent unusual behavior, Chen Mo couldn't help but look at him with new respect. He never expected that the usually taciturn Andrew had such a dramatic story behind him, having had a romantic relationship with the Marquis's daughter.

With Andrew's connection, Chen Mo's original plan naturally needed to be changed. After all, Andrew was his trusted and beloved subordinate, loyal and meritorious all along. Now that Chen Mo knew about this, he couldn't just ignore it.

"If I hadn't asked you today, and instead had directly launched an attack on Marquis Leonard's territory, what would you have done?"

Chen Mo was indeed somewhat curious about this.

Upon hearing this, Andrew's expression flashed with a hint of conflict and hesitation, but then became firm, clearly indicating that he had already made a decision.

Looking at Chen Mo, Andrew replied in a deep voice.

"I will conquer that territory for you, my Lord, and then I beg you to forgive her and her family."

After hearing Andrew's answer, Chen Mo nodded, stood up, and gave the order authoritatively.

"Summon the Knights. We will depart in half an hour. Our destination: Marquis Leonard's Fief."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's sudden order, Andrew's expression changed, and he quickly accepted the command.

"Yes, my Lord!"

After several days of Speed marching, the Knights finally arrived at Marquis Leonard's territory.

When they were still several miles away from the Castle, Chen Mo ordered the Knights to stop.

By this time, the Castle had already discovered Chen Mo and his group's arrival. The alarm bell in the watchtower rang, the city gate slammed shut, and crowds surged on the city walls. All the soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, nervously watching the Knights in the distance, standing in neat rows, exuding an imposing aura.

The newly appointed Marquis Amelia, dressed in magnificent women's armor, ascended the city wall surrounded by Knight. Her helmet concealed her face, making it impossible to see her features.

"My lord, judging from their equipment, banners and numbers, they should be the heavy Knights of Blackrock Castle."

One of the Knight beside Amelia observed for a while before stepping forward and speaking.

"Blackrock Castle..."

Amelia murmured, "That's the last name I want to hear."

The Knights to wait where they were, so Chen Mo and Andrew spurred their horses out and charged toward the Castle.

As they got closer, the person standing at the edge of the city wall came into clear view of Chen Mo and his companion. The lithe figure dressed in gorgeous women's armor should be Amelia, the only daughter of Marquis Leonard, Andrew's former lover.

Chen Mo could feel Andrew's heartbeat suddenly accelerate and his emotions become agitated.

Seeing that only two people were rushing towards them, Amelia on the city wall did not rush to order an attack. She wanted to see what they were up to.

Upon reaching the foot of the city wall, Chen Mo reined in his horse and shouted loudly towards the wall.

"Open the door, we have something to discuss."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's call, the city wall remained silent for a long time. Finally, under everyone's gaze, Amelia slowly spoke and gave the order.

"Open the door!"

"My lord!"

The Knight on the city wall quickly tried to dissuade him. They had long heard of Chen Mo's legendary strength; he was said to be able to break down the thick, sturdy Castle gates single-handedly, and if he were allowed in, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Despite the Knight's advice, Amelia remained resolute.

"You must all be very familiar with the legend of this Lord."

"If the rumors are true, whether we let them in or not won't make much difference in the outcome. In fact, it might even lead to a positive turn of events."

"If the rumors are false, that's even better. There are only two of them, so they don't pose much of a threat. His Knights are so far away, we have plenty of time to close the Upper Manhattan and capture them both!"

She was very curious about what this mysterious and powerful Lord wanted to talk to her about.
