I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

Ryan got up from the ground and spat a mouthful of blood foam, which landed squarely on the smooth surface of Dales' shoes.

"Isn't this my good-for-nothing brother who is slow to awaken? How come he is still a half-vampire after all these years?" Ryan said in a joking tone, and the sarcasm in his eyes almost turned into substance and pierced into Dales' heart.

He secretly clenched his fists to suppress the emotions surging in his eyes, and curled his lips to pull out a fake smile that was not fully reflected in his eyes.

"You are very powerful, but you have also been imprisoned for thousands of years by mysterious oriental magic. You are also a waste, Ruiyin." He retorted rudely, and then abandoned his cultivation and gentlemanliness, grabbing Ruiyin's collar in his hand and dragging him violently. "Okay, now you need an etiquette teacher to wash off the dirty vulgarity in you. I hope you don't resist. I don't like dealing with a barbaric waste."

Ruiyin was forcibly taken back to the room he had not returned to for many years and which remained unchanged. The complicated and ancient decoration made him dazed for a moment. He thought of the villa in that ancient country, the elegant fragrance and - that delicious food.

Through daily non-stop study, Ryan had roughly mastered everything that he had not participated in during his sleep. The complicated history and cumbersome etiquette occupied his mind, and he missed the freedom and joy of the East.

"Mother." Ryan knocked on Vianna's door, and the heavy wooden door echoed with a dull sound in the empty castle.

"Come in." Yang Liu turned around and looked at the mirror. Rui Yin had already opened the door and walked in. He bowed to her respectfully. "Mother."

Ryan is a willful child. Vianna's invisible pampering of him has cultivated his habit of never beating around the bush and being straightforward in dealing with almost everything.

"I am going to the East. There is a little fellow there that I like. If possible, I hope to bring him to you."

"No."

Ruiyin has prepared everything for his departure. He can even enter China legally and appear next to that lovely child in broad daylight.

But Vianna's reaction shattered his fantasy. The smile on his face gradually broke, and in the end he was even a little confused and angry. "Why? Mother, you said I was free!"

"I don't think you need to go." Viana slowly picked up the blood bag and put the blood vessel in her mouth, ignoring her son's anger. "You should stay here obediently, by your mother's side. A child who can't protect himself has no right to be free."

"But mother!"

Vianna waved her hand impatiently, interrupting his futile struggle. It was almost a crushing force of strength. Without Vianna's nod, Ryan would not be able to leave the castle.

"It's useless." A female voice almost identical to the one she was saying at the moment sounded from deep in Yang Liu's mind. Her tone sounded a little tired, revealing a fatigue that was inconsistent with her appearance. "No matter what, he will escape."

"..." Yang Liu listened to the voice from its ringing to its fading away, leaving only the lingering sound in her mind.

"Ryan, mother loves you, my child, be obedient. I don't want to be violent with you. That is such a disgusting and barbaric act. I will let your brother look after you. You cannot leave the castle. You have to stay with your mother for at least fifty years." Vianna reminded him calmly, and then ordered him to leave on the pretext of taking a rest. Just as Vianna said, if she didn't nod, Ryan could not leave the castle. The only card that allowed him to pass freely was on Dales, which had Vianna's breath on it.

Ruiyin went from struggling at the beginning to calming down, and the idea of ​​leaving turned into obsession. The slightly blurry figure was beautified by the obsession and finally became perfect.

Vianna had locked him up in the castle for so many years because she made it airtight like a thief-proof castle.

This was the only idea she and "Vianna" agreed on.

Yes, this body of Yang Liu is not just hers. The souls of Vianna and Yang Liu are squeezed into one body. It is Vianna during the day and Yang Liu at night. As a time traveler who has been bound to this world, Vianna has failed in her mission countless times. She gives advice to Yang Liu, and in these few short months, she has rejected countless ideas of Yang Liu. She is just like a strict teacher, desperately picking out Yang Liu's mistakes, and then verifying them with facts to overturn her theories.

"I'll be locked up for as long as I can." Yang Liu felt her eyes go dark at this story that seemed hopeless at first glance, and she could no longer see her future.

Ryan was imprisoned in the castle for ten years. During these ten years, not only Ryan suffered, but also his brother, Dales.

His plan was put on hold because of Ryan's return. Thousands of years of waiting had already exhausted his patience. What's more, his younger brother was a genius praised by everyone, expected by their mother and loved by her. This created a great sense of crisis in Dales, making him unable to endure such torment any longer.

Ruiyin counted the days on his fingers in this almost closed room. Even if it weren't for the oriental boy, his freedom-loving nature would not allow him to be confined to one place for too long.

"Ryan." Dales pushed open the tightly closed door of Ryan effortlessly. The young man curled up on the bed with lifeless eyes and moved his gaze to Dales' face. Dale, as always, had just the right smile on his face, his eyebrows slightly curved, and his hypocrisy could be seen in the curve of the corners of his lips.

"You come here once a day. Are you free, Dales?" Ryan's tone was full of resistance to the uninvited guest.

Dales didn't like to talk too much nonsense with this brother who he thought was useless and noisy, so he just stepped aside to open the door and opened his hand. On his middle finger was a card that allowed him to leave the castle.

"You're so pitiful. Do you want your freedom, Ryan? I can let you go quietly. Mother won't do anything to you. She dotes on you, her youngest son, so if you leave secretly, mother won't be in any trouble. If you want to go, I can let you go out and have some fun, and find your lovely little friend." Dales bewitched, always paying attention to Ryan's gaze, watching the confusion on his face turn into suspicion and then confusion, and finally he stood up and approached as if he was sure of something.

"As a loser, you finally did one good thing, Dales." Ryan held the cards in his hand, unable to understand why such a small thing had trapped him for ten years. He accepted Dales' malicious gift without hesitation, and then mocked him wantonly.

Dales remained silent, only laughing and mocking in his heart. "A useless childish ghost."
