Chapter 115

"What exactly is Vainay's profession?" Caslathdi walked up to Ryan and asked in a rather surprised tone, "This is the first time I've ever seen such an ability."

Even high-level Supernatural Being, Mental Power far surpasses that of ordinary people, cannot hypnotize them or exert temporary mental control.

That's why people say there are so few mental-based professions.

"I'm not entirely sure either," Ryan said, shrugging. "But I think we shouldn't dig too deep into these things. Everyone has their own secrets. We just need to make sure that Viscount Vainay is on our side."

"Too."

Caslathdi pursed her lips. Extraordinary professions like these are unique, not the kind that are commonplace. Asking too many questions would only annoy people.

"Sigh, Ryan, if only you had tried a little harder back then, maybe..."

"Hmm? What are you trying to do?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Caslathdi shook her head repeatedly. She had originally wanted to say that if you tried harder, you might be able to get along well with Miss 'Vainay', but when she saw 'Shally' standing over there, she felt that it was better not to say anything in this situation.

After all, 'Shally' was lowering her status by marrying a commoner; the noblewoman might have some objections.

If she were to seduce other women, Caslathdi couldn't even imagine what earth-shattering things 'Shally' might do.

"Everyone says the aristocratic circles are chaotic... but the common people are quite chaotic too," Caslathdi muttered to herself.

The interrogation of 'Vainay' went very smoothly.

Even Ryan didn't expect that from this half of the Southern Territory's forces, they could find more than a dozen people from the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince, and also find two people from Magana. The rest of them didn't intend to take sides.

"Your Highness, compared to your two older brothers, you're quite far behind," Ryan couldn't help but say.

"I can't do anything about it, their power is too strong." Caslathdi said helplessly. "My mother left nothing behind, and although my father has doted on me all these years, he has not given me any real power."

Ryan fully understood why a powerful mother was essential in the struggle for the crown prince position; only a strong maternal family offered any hope. Relying on the Old Emperor? Forget it!

"What do you plan to do with these people?" Caslathdi asked.

"Kill them."

"They're all dead?"

"Right."

Blood Pact cannot erase a person's will, so to prevent the Second Prince and his group from secretly doing anything to these people, it's best to kill them.

Anyway, these guys basically throw parties at the Earl's castle. When 'Shally' came back, she had already prepared a crime scene, disguising it as a Blood Cult's sacrificial ceremony. Aren't these kinds of things happening everywhere lately?... Oh no, there's no need to disguise it at all. Who is more qualified to host a sacrifice than 'Shally'? No one!

Therefore, her massacre was itself a sacrifice, praising Doklodus, Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God!

Once the news spreads far and wide, it will become a story of nobles indulging in extravagant parties, only to stumble upon the Blood God coming to collect their souls. See how delightful that sounds?

More importantly, Ryan doesn't need that many Blood Pact members. The drawbacks of Blood Pact are too obvious, and if they are constantly replaced, it's easy for others to find a loophole. After all, it's best to keep such 'cult' matters as low-key as possible.

He even planned to use 'Vainay's' abilities to select talented individuals to replace these Blood Pact in managing the territory after completely conquering the Southern Territory, so that long-term stability could be achieved.

Wait... Magana didn't let those nobles in the Western Territory call themselves Blood Pact, could it be that she already saw this? Wow! The Grand Duke is really awesome (seriously).

As for those who initially gave gifts, after being interrogated by 'Vainay' and confirmed to be 'loyalists,' Ryan didn't intend to force them to sign Blood Pact. Firstly, Blood Pact are consumables, but these people possessed loyalty and could be used indefinitely. Secondly, given the magnitude of today's events, he needed a few 'normal people' to stand up and vouch for him that today was indeed a wonderful engagement dinner.

After the interrogation, it's time for 'Shally' to make her appearance.

As the red patterns converged in the air to form contracts, the dark red glow made the atmosphere in the banquet hall even more oppressive and terrifying.

"Everyone, pour your blood into the contract. Don't worry, it's normal to feel pain."

The remaining nobles, with tearful faces, pricked their fingers, pressed their bloody marks, and the contract was completed.

During this process, a nobleman was corrupted by the power of the Blood God on the spot due to his 'weak will', turning into a grotesque creature. In the end, Ryan had no choice but to destroy him on the spot.

"Don't worry, this is just an isolated case. He didn't pass the test, but you did. So congratulations! From today onwards, let's work together for Her Highness the Princess's great cause. Come on, let's shout together, 'All for Princess Caslathdi!'"

The nobles looked at each other, and after a while they started shouting, but their shouts were all jumbled up and disjointed.

"Everything is for Princess Caslathdi."

"For... for the Princess..."

Caslathdi Dimuran.

She felt that this group of people were mourning for her.

"Alright, everyone, let's enjoy the dinner now."

Ryan had 'Shally' remove the blood carpet, and he specially ordered his servants to prepare fine wine and delicacies, but judging from the appearance of those nobles, probably few of them were still in the mood to eat.

It doesn't matter, as long as he's in a good mood.

"Ryan, Shally, congratulations."

The special segment has finally ended. Although tomorrow may not be a good day, Caslathdi still plans to enjoy the present moment and, incidentally, help Ryan and 'Shally' get along better.

As for the main body of the Blood Pact, 'Shally', she would definitely try every means to win her over. After all, although Ryan is now engaged to 'Shally', there are also those who break off the engagement. In fact, there are even those in the entertainment circle who have affairs after marriage. When feelings are gone and emotions fade, it is common to see them just walk away.

"Ryan, don't worry, I will find a way to get Father to agree to bestow a title upon you," Caslathdi said earnestly. "This is also a gift I prepared, and I will definitely do it, so Shally, you can rest assured."

Ryan was speechless, thinking to himself that he didn't have any requirements regarding social status or background.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I have never looked down on Ryan's status, and I am willing to follow him for the rest of my life." After saying this, 'Shally' felt it wasn't enough, so she took the initiative to reach out and take Ryan.

Then she took the initiative to kiss him.

Caslathdi: "..."

"You guys... this is good, very good, hmm."

Caslathdi's lips twitched slightly, feeling as if she had been hit hard... She felt so stupid, really, she must have had nothing better to do than come looking for a show.

However, seeing how freely 'Shally' could pursue her own happiness, Caslathdi felt a little envious. As a Princess, she couldn't be so carefree.

"... Then you guys talk, you guys talk, I'm going to go talk to Vainay."

Caslathdi quickly slunk away. 'Shally' was taken care of by Ryan, so she should go find 'Vainay' instead.

'Vainay,' only you understand my feelings!

The 'Bloody Feast' ultimately concluded successfully in a friendly atmosphere.

Ryan arranged for these nobles to stay in Berman City, because the events in Silver Peak City were sure to erupt tomorrow, and since all the dead people were on his invitation, he needed to create an alibi for himself.

However, he did not go back, because in order to show how much he valued Ryan in front of 'Shally', Caslathdi specifically allowed Ryan and 'Shally' to rest in the castle tonight!

Just you wait, 'Shally'. Even if Ryan doesn't have a title, he will still be my most valued subject!

Ryan was both amused and exasperated by the motherly concern that her daughter-in-law might dislike her. "Your Highness, how insecure are you? Why are you being so cautious? I told you that 'Shally' is one of us, and you're still worried she'll run away!"

However, with Caslathdi's actions, a question suddenly came to Ryan's attention—am I going to share a room with 'Shally'?

"Well then, Ryan, Shally, goodnight."

After escorting the person to the room, Caslathdi smiled and nodded, then turned and quickened her pace to leave.

What happened next was no longer her concern.

Ryan, this is all I can do for you!

Actually, this engagement isn't really a marriage. 'Shally' is a noblewoman, Ryan is a commoner. She can back out at any time.

So Caslathdi decided to let Ryan and 'Shally' deepen their emotional connection. Once their feelings deepened, wouldn't they be inseparable in the future?

Anyway, the Augustus Empire was quite open-minded about this kind of thing, and Caslathdi was well-educated and knowledgeable from a young age, so she gave Ryan a helping hand at a crucial moment.

"What kind of nonsense is this Her Highness the Princess thinking about all day long?"

Ryan returned to his room and, recalling the blush on Caslathdi's face earlier, knew that she was definitely not thinking anything good.

No, why are you blushing like a teapot?

As expected of the female lead in an adult film, she truly has an irrepressible restlessness hidden beneath her serious exterior.

"What do we do now?" Ryan looked at 'Shally' with a strange expression. "Never mind, Shally, you should take off these clothes first, they look kind of scary."

Dressed in bright red, recalling the blood river's head from earlier, even Ryan, who had also killed and bled, would have been terrified.

Ryan gave orders to 'Shally'.

'Shally' began to take off her clothes.

After removing her dress, 'Shally's' figure was fully revealed to Ryan.

Snow-white skin, slender waist, the flesh around her waist is firm and well-defined, not the kind of abs that are developed through exercise, but rather the bony beauty presented by the curves of her body.

Above her flat stomach were a pair of proud, firm breasts. Ryan remembered that when he pinched 'Shally', those two lumps of fat were quite large, but they were usually covered by clothes. She was the type who looked slim in clothes but had a muscular build when undressed.

"Tsk tsk~ As expected of me, so beautiful~"

With this level of character creation skill, who would dare say it's not good-looking or realistic?

"How about I touch it? Is it inappropriate?... Who cares? I'll touch myself, what am I afraid of? It's not illegal. Can they withdraw my consent?"

Ryan admitted he was getting a little excited.

"Shally, come here."

He beckoned to 'Shally' with his finger.

'Shally' walked over and leaned forward.

The captivating fragrance is refreshing and delightful.

Her eyes, like jewels, shone with a luminous glow.

Touch it... it's soft, fragrant, smooth, and bouncy.

Wow! This feel is unbeatable!

Ryan was taken aback.

Wait, wait, wait!

Ryan suddenly realized a problem.

If I just leave it like this... what does this even mean?

I sleep by myself?

Damn it, I think I'm becoming 'Japanese'?!
