Extra 10 Dekan Knows How to Enjoy Himself
"!!!"
When she heard her real name with her own ears, Countess Lisilina could no longer hide her utter terror.
Her face was contorted with tension, almost draining of color. Sweat streamed down her forehead, soaking her long hair. Her lips trembled, and she remained silent, only able to emit weak breaths, as if fear had tightly strangled her throat.
"We were just giving you a chance to confess and receive leniency."
Dekan, holding his teacup, noticed Countess Lisilina's state and said in a low voice...
"It's a pity you didn't cherish it."
He was hinting at Countess Lisilina --
"We actually know about your past; every question I ask from now on may be something I already know the answer to; we are testing your sincerity, and if you want to suffer less, you'd better answer proactively."
But he didn't actually know the story of Countess Lisilina's resurrection in the present world before and after the seal was broken, both within the Holy Kingdom.
This was precisely the information he hoped Countess Lisilina would lower her guard and tell him honestly.
If you can.
Dekan also didn't want to resort to torture that was too troublesome or too bloody.
After all, he has changed; now he is just a kind and ordinary small-town doctor.
Therefore, it would be ideal if we could manipulate this Blood Race's mind a little to extract information from her.
It's definitely not because this kind of interrogation is more interesting, absolutely not.
As for the final step, after Lisilina honestly confesses the whole truth, then tell her that she has been deceived.
It must be quite interesting how, in her utter despair, a final spark of anger ignites within her, yet she also feels a profound sense of helplessness, powerlessness, and utter despair.
And since we're going to scare her, we need to give her some more real torture!
That way, she would choose to compromise, thus avoiding unnecessary torment!
"..."
Cornelia glanced at Dekan but remained silent.
She sensed that Dekan was experiencing a great deal of inner turmoil at that moment.
But she couldn't say.
Moreover, there were some desserts on the table in front of them.
Dekan was enjoying his tea and these desserts after dinner.
Certainly.
For him...
Whether the true dessert is food or the fear emanating from the Blood Race remains unknown.
Cornelia still remembers when she first met Dekan at school, he would try his best to act, at least to make himself look like a human being.
Later, gradually, in the various Shadow World, he seemed to have liberated his true nature.
They hardly act anymore.
Oh well, I'm used to it. Life just goes on like this, and it's fine.
She could only stare helplessly at the poor vampire countess.
Then he fed himself a small piece of cherry cheesecake.
I wonder what terrible things this Blood Race did to deserve encountering Dekan again...
Oh right, Countess Lisilina killed a High Priest of the Goddess Tike before she met Delois.
That's not unfair.
It seems the Goddess Tike is vengeful... After harming an innocent High Priest, she arranged for another priest with the same expertise to deal with the countess...
"I remember when I first met her, she was disguised as a beautiful young maid, hiding in the mansion of the Lord's Mansion in the southern part of the Holy Kingdom, controlling the lord and the entire border city-state."
Dekan turned his head and spoke to Cornelia, reaching out to wipe the cream from the corner of her mouth.
"Yes, I never expected her to be so clever."
Cornelia nodded in agreement.
Even if righteous individuals noticed the anomalies in the town and city-state and wanted to investigate the Blood Race mystery, Countess Lisilina would detect them first, set traps for them, and lure them to the Lord's Mansion to kill them.
Logically speaking, this was almost a dead end for those trying to save the precarious city-state and town.
After all, it's quite terrifying that such a boss lurking in the shadows would unknowingly target someone with the ability to save the city-state.
Pity.
Countess Lisilina never expected that three ruthless bandits would not play any tricks on her and would instead launch a night raid on the Lord's Mansion.
"The moment I threw the book, I knew who she was."
The feeling of a high-ranking vampire slamming a book down is truly unique.
It took her quite a while to persuade Countess Lisilina to cooperate with Dekan and convert her.
The two chatted leisurely, as if it were after dinner.
The more Countess Lisilina listened to their conversation, the more terrified she became.
My heart was pounding like a drum, almost leaping out of my chest.
The barrage of information overload left her deeply confused.
What are these two things talking about?
And why are they eating dessert so leisurely?
She doesn't understand.
She simply couldn't understand people of this era!
Some of these conversations felt familiar to her, and she could even understand them, such as "Holy Kingdom," "Southern City-States," and "Lord's Mansion."
But even more bizarre content was that she simply couldn't understand it!
Finally, Countess Lisilina seemed to manage to catch her breath.
"Who... who are you people?"
Her voice trembled noticeably, her heart filled with turmoil.
I heard Countess Lisilina's voice.
Dekan looked at her again with great interest.
She finally cheered up a bit.
Then it should remind her of something.
In actual history, Countess Lisilina met Morpheus, Delois, and Talomati at the Lord's Mansion.
Morpheus, however, disguised himself as the vampire Marquis Roderick.
Delois and Talomati, wearing masks, disguised themselves as the twin familiars under Marquis Roderick.
Therefore, it's normal that Countess Lisilina had never seen Dekan and Cornelia's faces.
But she must have remembered Delois.
So Dekan took out a mask and held it up against his face.
Do you remember seeing a gray-haired demon?
He covered half his face and looked at Countess Lisilina with a sly smile, asking her a question.
Countess Lisilina was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Dekan for a few seconds.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Finally.
She screamed piercingly.
Countess Lisilina was at this moment.
She vividly recalled that night that had left her utterly perplexed.
In any case, that should be a nightmare that's long gone.
But why?!
Why is it that I just broke free from the seal, and when I woke up, I was faced with this demon again?!
This is a nightmare from which I seem unable to wake up!
