The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

One of the Regent’s remarks when recruiting talented individuals is still widely circulated among noble circles: “My brothers are my hands and feet, and I cannot let them down. As for women, they are like clothes; I can take them off whenever I want.”

In terms of notoriety, only Leon, known as one of the "Four Evil Young Masters of the Capital," can rival him.

But Leon knew in his heart that he, who had never tasted the forbidden fruit with a girl, could not compare with his royal uncle.

"Your Highness, Leon has been sent into the Thorn Forest. So far, His Majesty has not taken any rescue measures, and he is unlikely to survive."

The old man reported, "As Your Highness predicted, there was indeed a strong person among the prisoners accompanying Leon, but there was only one. We defeated him, but unfortunately we couldn't capture him."

"It's alright. If you catch me, wouldn't I lose face?"

Leon smiled faintly.

"Regent?"

"Yes, Father has chosen to sit idly by, so it's unlikely that anyone else will take action besides him."

"Leon replied."

"Don't rush to deal with the Imperial Uncle. This guy is far more troublesome than the Imperial Brother. Now that we've already started, we must make sure the Imperial Brother is dead first. Otherwise, if Father suddenly softens and wants to save the Imperial Brother, then all our efforts will be in vain."

Leon continued.

"In the Thorn Forest, we humans will be greatly restricted; it is the home ground of the vampires."

The old man reminded him.

If Leon sends himself into the Thorn Forest to find Leon, and then kills Leon in the vampire territory, then he himself will most likely have a hard time returning.

Although he worked for Leon, he was still somewhat hesitant about risking his life for Leon.

"Of course I know that, so why—don't you want to?"

Leon smiled.

"This……"

The old man shifted his body somewhat awkwardly.

“I didn’t tell you to go into the Thorn Forest and kill Leon, so you don’t need to be so nervous.”

This old thing.

It doesn't seem to listen very well.

This kind of person might betray you.

Well, he still has some use. Even if we were to get rid of him, it wouldn't be now.

"Your Highness, perhaps we can secretly spread the news that Leon has entered the Thorn Forest. Those vampires hate the Fchesters so much, they will definitely try to find Leon, and then..."

"You idiot, that would actually make Leon safer, and he might even be taken back to his country by Caesar."

Before the old man could finish speaking, Leon angrily interrupted him.

If the vampires themselves were in Leon's territory right now, they would definitely go looking for him and capture him very quickly.

Therefore, the vampires certainly wouldn't dare to harbor Prince Fitcher and cause trouble, let alone kill Leon. They would only issue an ultimatum to the Empire, demanding benefits from Caesar to ransom Leon.

By this time, things had escalated significantly, and even if Caesar didn't want to get involved, he had no choice but to intervene.

Therefore, he is highly likely to exchange Leon for him.

In that case, that hateful imperial brother, who was destined to have a higher status than him simply because he was born earlier, will have to return to the palace!

"This……"

The old man paused for a moment, then his already hunched back seemed to become even more hunched. He bowed slightly to Leon and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I was inconsiderate."

"You don't need to worry about Leon's affairs; I have other plans. As for you, I have new tasks for you to complete."

Leon grinned wickedly.

"A new mission?"

The old man was puzzled.

"Yes, you must go to the Snow City immediately and capture Helena, the Healing Witch."

Leon scoffed, "Didn't my brother love her and even risk offending Father to protect her? Then I'll personally destroy what he considers beautiful."

"I understand, Your Highness."

"Alright, you may go now."

"As ordered."

After the old man disappeared, Leon fled the musty, smelly woodshed with lightning speed.

"Brother, I'm sorry. It's your existence that has hindered my progress in achieving great things. Please don't be my brother in the next life."

Leon muttered to himself and left along the same route.

When he accompanied Caesar on his expedition to the Coral Sea, he had asked Helena to cripple Leon, but she didn't. Leon then confessed that he deeply loved Helena, and that Helena had long since broken free of the drugs and regained her senses.

All signs indicate that Helena is actually in cahoots with Leon, and that Leon initially misjudged the situation.

Helena's skills may not be very combat-effective, but they are too overpowered. If she grows up, it will be quite troublesome for her to seek revenge on Leon.

Therefore, now that I've taken action against Leon, I must eliminate him completely.

Chapter Eleven: The Blood Princess's Dinner

The thorn forest is also known as the moving forest.

The entrance to the forest can appear randomly anywhere in the world.

In the thorn forest, there is no day, only night, and the moon never disappears, always shining in the sky like a light bulb.

So no matter how the outside world changes from day to night, the Thorn Forest remains in darkness.

Leon found this utterly unbelievable.

To be precise, it is extremely unscientific.

As we all know, plants need photosynthesis to grow. There is not enough sunlight here, but so many towering trees can still grow. This is really... really... well, in a world where humans, dragons, vampires... and even gods exist, it seems that nothing is unacceptable.

Talking about science in this world is practically like running a cult.

Standing in the bathroom, Leon forcefully opened the tightly locked window.

Outside the window, the moonlight is cool and clear, and beneath it lies a dark grove of trees. Gazing into the distance, one sees only endless mountain peaks. With a slight tilt of the head, one can see the full moon hanging high in the sky, shrouded in ethereal clouds.

The scenery is beautiful.

Unfortunately, those who came to see the scenery didn't have the pleasant mood to appreciate it.

Leon was in a bad mood.

How am I supposed to escape?

Even if you risk your life to escape, you can't get out.

hiss.

Leon closed the window again with a touch of melancholy, then went to the sink.

In this world, tap water already exists, and the corresponding drainage and pumping systems can basically meet the needs of daily life and basic production. The most advanced urban drainage system is still found in the bustling city of Guberland.

Gently turn on the tap, and after a burst of water, a steady trickle of water flows out.

Leon scooped up the cold tap water and vigorously washed his face several times before finally venting his frustration.

Looking up at herself in the bathroom mirror, her golden hair shone brightly, her bangs were wet and sticking up messily in different directions, her deep blue eyes, like the blue sky and the sea, were bloodshot, and her delicate and handsome face was full of fatigue.

By this time, Leon had already changed out of the filthy prison uniform of the Fchester Empire. He was wearing a nylon coat, a white shirt underneath, and a black vest over it, and his upright figure was reflected almost perfectly in the mirror.

Unlike Lin Beixuan, an ordinary science and engineering student from the Great Foodie Kingdom of Blue Star, who was lazy and spent all his time thinking about what to eat for his extra meal, how to compete so hard to impress his colleagues at the end of the semester, and how long to grind in Teyvat tonight to save up enough Primogems.

Leon, the eldest prince of Fchester, the first human empire, was ridiculously handsome. He grew up shining brightly in the spotlight from a young age, although he was ultimately a waste...

In short, Leon is sometimes amazed by his own good looks.

"Tsk, I'm supposed to be a sunny, cheerful guy, but it seems like my current life is turning me into a depressed heartthrob!"

Leon blew on the long bangs that had fallen between his nose and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Then, he took a few deep breaths, gave himself a very confident smile in the mirror, and quickly composed himself.

This was his way of encouraging and comforting himself. The last time he felt this agitated was when he had just transmigrated, alone in the palace at night. And before that, it was probably during his senior year of high school on Earth, in the last month before the college entrance exam.

After trying to calm himself down, Leon skillfully took the long black tie hanging to the side, quickly put it around his long neck, and then tied it into a neat knot at his chest.

Finally, Leon straightened his crooked collar and placket, combed his hair to make it look more natural and neat, and then turned and left the bathroom.

After playing "Für Elise" for Philippa—no! It should be "Für Philippa"—Philippa summoned her butler, "Dieter," and asked him to prepare a clean and presentable outfit for her so she could wash and change.

Thus, we have Leon now, having finished showering in the bathroom and changed into a nylon suit.

Although he didn't know what Philippa wanted to do, Leon himself was planning to take a shower and change out of his dirty prison uniform, so this was exactly what Leon wanted, and he naturally cooperated very readily.

As soon as he stepped out of the restroom, Dieter, who had been waiting at the door, came to greet him.

This was a man who looked very young. He wore a gold-rimmed monocle over his right eye, dressed in a smart black tailcoat, with black hair and brown eyes. He had a proper Western face, with his hair slicked back, and a gentle and refined demeanor, which suited him well as a castle butler.

“Mr. Daniel, Miss Philippa asked me to invite you downstairs to have dinner with her.”

Dieter gave Leon a polite smile and waved very naturally.

"Shall we have dinner together?"

Damn it.

What new tricks are you planning to come up with this time?

Leon asked, puzzled.

Although he didn't know why, Leon felt that whenever he heard the name Philippa in this castle, it could never be anything good.

"Yes, dinner together, Mr. Daniel. You are very lucky to have the opportunity to dine with Miss Philippa. Even the noblemen and young masters of Moonlight City rarely have this opportunity, let alone you dining alone with her."

Dieter wore a gentle smile.

Uh, this...

What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

I really am a stalker.

Please, please don't give Leon any face!

Leon was silent.

“Sir, your arrival is a great surprise to me. It’s really true—Miss Philippa hasn’t smiled so happily in a long time.”

Seeing that Leon remained silent, Butler Dieter added another sentence.

This made Leon, who was already silent, even more silent.

This……

Okay, your statement does indeed reflect the basic self-discipline of a butler. The ultimate domineering CEO thinks it's great.

"Thank you, it's my pleasure. Please lead the way, Mr. Dieter."

Leon smiled sincerely.

Although I was speechless inside, it would be impolite not to say anything at this point.

After all, this was someone else's territory, and this butler had a reserved and gloomy demeanor. Based on Leon's intuition, he didn't seem like a good person at all! He probably wanted to kill him, so he kept a low profile in this castle.

In conclusion, within the castle, every vampire is like a father figure.

"Yes, sir, please follow me."

Dieter didn't say much and simply led the way.

Leon followed Dieter silently, occasionally glancing at the castle's structure in preparation for his future escape.

Soon, Leon arrived at the dining table.

At this moment, the vampire princess, so beautiful she seemed unreal, was already seated at the head of the long dining table, eyeing Leon with a playful and frivolous gaze as he walked gracefully towards her.

P.S.: There will be another update tonight.
