Heartthrob: The vampire princess doesn't want to be a stand-in

"Excuse me." Yuri nodded slightly to Vincent and hurriedly caught up with Evelyn and Ollie who were walking away.

Vincent's eyes followed Evelin as she left, until her figure became increasingly blurred and could no longer be seen, and his heart began to ache again.

“Vincent, is this…” After returning to the car, Vincent’s friend stared blankly at Evelin in the distance and spoke softly.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Vincent's eyes, which used to be full of charm, were instantly covered with frost, and he stared at him coldly.

"Okay, I was wrong, don't look at me like that..." The friend shuddered and immediately raised his hands in surrender.

"But, they are too similar, aren't they?"

"She's dead." This time, Vincent was not as angry as he had been when he mentioned her before. He just spoke expressionlessly.

His tone was unusually gentle and he didn't even raise his eyelids, as if she was just a stranger.

"You're not using her as a substitute, are you? Isn't she from the Lan family? You...?" the friend spoke again, his ostentatious expression really didn't match his delicate face.

"Who knows." Vincent smiled grimly, a sharp gleam in his eye.

It's you again, the little princess of the Lan family, Evelyn.

"Just don't get involved with me." After saying that, the friend shrugged and continued to talk sweetly with his lover.

Now the shooting was out of the question, and the three of them had to go back home, but they all tacitly chose to keep it a secret from Garland.

When they returned to the Lan family, they found that cars of a group of families led by the Ford family and the Rhodes family drove into Blue Castle one after another.

"Your Highness, the prince has ordered you and the two adults to go directly to the conference room." Seeing Edward coming, the servant bowed respectfully.

Evelin looked up at the window on the second floor, and a bad feeling came over her.

"Where's my brother?"

"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Lan Palace." The attendant responded, and the three of them looked at each other and walked towards the stairs.

Entering the hall, Evelyn caught a glimpse of Garland, who was already sitting in the vice seat, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. It looked like he had returned a long time ago.

"Yesterday, we received an urgent report from the informant planted by the Ford family in the southern continent."

When everyone heard this, their eyes all turned to Edward sitting in the main seat, and countless pairs of eyes were filled with gloom.

Edward paused, glanced at everyone with his clear eyes and spoke.

"The Blood Rose has appeared."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of people gasping for air in the conference hall.

Garland and Evelyn looked at each other, and their expressions did not look much better.

The Southern Continent, the southernmost part of the Carter Continent, is a place where few vampires appear. Instead, it is inhabited by various hunter families and most humans live there.

Just as the Lan family ruled the northern part of Carter Continent, the southern part is now ruled by the Jin family.

Millions of years ago, the Carter Continent was not divided into north and south. At that time, the Lan family truly controlled the entire Carter Continent, and vampires, hunters and humans lived together.

Hunters and vampires are inherently hostile to each other, wars are frequent, and the people are living in misery.

Millions of years ago, a large-scale vampire massacre occurred on the Carter Continent, which eventually evolved into a slaughter between humans, vampires, and humans and vampires.

Anyone who survived that war fears to speak of it; its name is the Battle of the Anders.

There was no winner in that battle. The Hunters and the Vampires signed an open peace agreement, dividing the Carter Continent into two parts, the Hunters in the South and the Vampires in the North, and they have lived without interfering with each other until now.

"We have now completely grasped the location of the Blood Rose, but our best chance to get in touch with it will only be in half a year when Anders celebrates its centennial anniversary."

"This mission requires us to stay undercover among the hunters for a long time, so everyone is well aware of the dangers."

"So this time, you go by yourself." Edward pointed his finger at the table and turned his gaze to Garland. In an instant, all eyes were focused on Garland.

"Yes." Garland clenched his fist and nodded slightly in response.

Evelin was stunned for a moment, and when she wanted to open her mouth to refute, she was stopped by Garland.

"The rest of Team 32 are on standby. Garland, you need to disguise yourself as a hunter and enter Anders to meet up with the informant."

"Anders's entrance ceremony will be in a few days. There is no time to lose. Garland, you must leave tomorrow. Don't let me down."

Edward gave the final order, and Evelyn probably realized that perhaps she had a more urgent mission and this occasion was not appropriate.

"I see." Garland responded calmly.

Afterwards, everyone analyzed the current situation and dispersed, while the four of them gathered in the garden to enjoy their last afternoon tea time. On the round table was a map of the southern continent, which they planned to study carefully.

"Is it really appropriate to play a college student?" Ollie muttered, looking reluctant.

"High school students are also suitable." Yuri glanced at Garland and Evelyn's faces and nodded. Although they were quite old, it was not an exaggeration to say that they looked young like high school students.

"However, it is strange that the prince did not send the little prince along this time." Oli looked at the silent Evelyn and felt it was a pity. Evelyn was an all-round agent, especially with the most flexible mind, and could be called the military advisor of Group 32.

"The military advisor can also command remotely." Evelyn understood Ollie's thoughts and replied calmly. Although her heart was as clear as a mirror, she would not let the news leak out before her grandfather made it clear about the special mission.

"Your information." Garland nodded and turned his gaze to Ollie.

"Damn, isn't it a secret? The prince has already told you that I'm an informant." Oli was furious. He thought he was entrusted with an important task, but it turned out that everyone knew he was an informant except him.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'm going to beat you up." Yuri glanced at Garland who was pinching his eyebrows and reminded him. Ollie was good in every way except that he was too noisy.

Ollie glanced at Garland awkwardly, and placed the seven black pawns on the three major centers of Shangjing in the southern continent, forming a three-legged trend.

"The current ruler of the Southern Continent, the leader of the Hunter Clan, is Colonel Jin Suwen of the Shangjing Jin Clan, and his deputy is the Huo Clan."

"Jin Suwen has a son named Jin Yingming, who is known as the most outstanding genius of Anders this year. He ranks first in magic, fighting, and tactics. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the next clan leader.

"The Huo family has three children. The eldest daughter was born weak and had no fighting ability. She was exiled somewhere for recuperation. The second son, Huo Anzhi, is not as abnormal as Jin Yingming, but he should not be underestimated. As for the youngest daughter, Huo Youshan, you can just treat her as a dispensable cannon fodder."

"The peace agreement is still there, and this operation is quite tricky." Yuri sighed, his brainpower was truly beyond his range.

Evelin's mind was spinning rapidly. Every move of the white chess piece in her hand, as a vampire, represented a plan.

When the last white elephant was eaten, the three men looked at the white queen being surrounded on all sides by the black pieces with frowns on their faces.
