It was still bright outside, and the vampire castle was surrounded by vast flower fields. Sunlight streamed down, making the castle look beautiful and radiant, completely belying the fact that it was inhabited by a group of bloodthirsty non-humans.

The vampire prince seemed to have known that Nirvana would arrive early. As soon as they reached the castle gate, the baby-faced vampire who had delivered the invitation the day before appeared to greet them.

"Lord Nirvana, His Highness the Prince has been waiting for you for quite some time!" He said respectfully, bowing slightly.

He then led the two into the castle.

An ancient and luxurious aura wafts over you. The vampires have lived in this world for over a thousand years, and their heritage is extraordinary. Their noble demeanor makes you completely forget the bloodthirsty and ruthless nature of their hunting prey in the dark.

After walking down a long corridor and admiring numerous antique oil paintings and ornate furniture whose age was impossible to discern, they arrived at a large living room that resembled a reception room, brightly lit.

The so-called vampire prince was standing under the crystal chandelier, smiling elegantly.

"My friend, welcome to my castle, Nogas Vantor," Prince Nogas said in a soft, cello-like voice, offering a polite welcome.

Under the lights, he was exceptionally handsome, his light golden hair combed back to reveal his smooth and full forehead, and his pair of emerald green eyes gleamed with an unapproachable arrogance and depth.

His thin, blood-red lips curved into an elegant and reserved smile, and even Xing Nuan was momentarily stunned by his gentle and noble demeanor.

Perhaps due to their bloodline, most purebloods are handsome men and beautiful women.

Nie Fan nodded and returned the smile. Perhaps sensing the woman behind him pause in her steps, he felt uncomfortable, and the smile on his lips widened, making his exquisite features even more alluring, and his red eyes even brighter.

"Oh! Brother, is this our distinguished guest today?"

At that moment, a charming woman dressed in a gorgeous black and red dress walked in, and her eyes, which were exactly the same emerald green as Nogas's, were filled with undisguised amazement as she looked at Nevan.

“Katherina!” Nogas stopped her rude behavior.

“Brother…” Katherina obediently returned behind him, but still looked at Niefan without any hesitation, her pure gaze containing nothing but admiration.

“Mr. Nevan, I’m so sorry, Katherina has just woken up from her deep sleep and her memories haven’t fully returned yet,” Nogas apologized.

Xingnuan took in the whole scene, and for some reason, the helpless yet doting look that Nogas gave Katherina was always a little strange.

Logically speaking, it's common for brothers to look at their sisters like that, but to her, it carried a somewhat ambiguous meaning. She knew that purebloods, in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, could also...

Thinking of this, she quickly shook her head, banishing the absurd idea from her mind. She looked at the two of them in disbelief and then lowered her head.

Nirvana had already noticed her series of inexplicable actions. He lowered his eyes and smiled, unaware of what his little steward was automatically imagining.

Xingnuan's vigorous shaking of her head had also caught the attention of the other two.

"And who is this young lady?" Nogas asked with a slight smile.

“My butler.” Nirvana took a sip of the red wine offered by the male servant.

Nogas nodded: "Welcome, woman from the East."

Xing Nuan nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Eastern!?" Katherina's emerald eyes shone brightly. "Your eyes are so black~"

"..."

When the vampire suddenly approached her with such enthusiasm, Xing Nuan calmly took a step back.

"What's your name?" Katherina asked.

She pursed her lips: "Ellie..."

“Xing Nuan, her name is Xing Nuan,” Nie Fan interrupted her, answering with a smile.

"What a tongue-twisting name... There's a banquet tonight, didn't you bring a dress?"

She shook her head.

"I have some here, you can wear mine!"

She shook her head again.

"Go ahead!" Niefan watched Xingnuan's rare embarrassment for a while, then said, pushing her towards Katherina.

“...Yes, Master.” She lowered her head, her voice tinged with resentment.

Nirvana sensed her helplessness and smiled silently.

Katherine happily took Xingnuan's hand and ran away.

Nogas, who was swirling his wine glass to the side, seemed to be deep in thought.

Nirvana seems to treat his "butler" quite differently!

"..."

"Your hands are so warm!" Katherina squeezed Xingnuan's hand tightly.

Her unusually cold, icy hands drew warmth from her body, and Xingnuan couldn't help but shiver.

"arrive!"

Even Xing Nuan, who has been expressionless for a long time, couldn't help but widen her eyes and express her amazement when she saw this wardrobe that had been accumulated for who knows how many centuries.

The owner of the walk-in closet walked in and started picking through the clothes, as if it were second nature.

"how about this?"

"what about this?"

Katherina kept asking and answering herself throughout, while Star Warm waited quietly by, like the "Barbie doll" she was dressing up.

Katherine pulled out a backless, silver-white mermaid dress: "This is it!"

Xing Nuan frowned. Was it too late for her to run away now?

She moved silently toward the door, but unfortunately, she was spotted by Katherina and dragged into the changing room.

"Don't……"

Chaos erupted in the changing room.

Katherine clapped her hands in satisfaction as she emerged from the changing room, followed by a small foot stepping out in a white, light-heeled high heel.

A petite, slender woman with an extremely pleasing appearance appeared in front of the large mirror in the dressing room. Her silver-white long dress accentuated her elegant demeanor, subtly and gradually permeating people's hearts.

Although her face was pale, she had a unique charm.

Xingnuan looked at herself in the mirror and realized that clothes really do make the man; she almost didn't recognize herself.

Suddenly, a chilling hand reached up to her bare back. The crimson nails contrasted sharply with her pale skin, sending a wave of horror through her.

"Warm, your skin is so nice and smooth~"

Katherine gently stroked her back, and she shivered again.

"Are you cold?" Katherina asked.

Xingnuan nodded and said somewhat urgently, "Change into something else."

……

Ultimately, despite Xingnuan's strong refusal, she simply changed into a plain white dress that was nothing special, the most important thing being—warmth!

Even so, Katherine was still dissatisfied, but after applying light makeup to her, her mood gradually improved.

When she and Katherina appeared before Nogas and Nievan, they were both taken aback. One was surprised that the seemingly ordinary Eastern woman could change so much after tidying up.

The other raised an eyebrow, nodded, and smiled wickedly, indicating his satisfaction. He even gave Katherina an approving look.

Xingnuan noticed Nie Fan's gaze, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and then obediently walked behind him, ready to be ordered at any time.

"Brother, how is it?" Katherina stepped forward and took Nogas's arm, acting coquettishly.

"Very good, you have a good eye!" Nogas praised without any attempt to hide his admiration.

“When the banquet starts, Nuan will definitely receive a lot of attention. Oh, right! I can introduce Cousin Bere to Nuan!” Katherina said, her rose-red and delicate lips moving as she spoke.

"..."

Xingnuan felt a chill run down her spine from the sudden, cold gaze. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Katherina, but no need!"

"Oh, that's such a shame!" Katherina's slightly dejected voice rang out.

Xingnuan breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that her back was soaked.

Xingnuan: These days, it's not easy for a housekeeper to make a living...

As night slowly fell, the Nogas siblings were surprised when Nevan emerged from his room as a young child. They never expected that the legendary curse was real!

Ha, isn't that true? The vampires paid the price of eternal life by living in darkness forever in order to achieve immortality.

Forbidden bloodlines can never see the light of day.

……

As the banquet began, a steady stream of elegantly dressed vampires, each with a noble air and striking appearance, entered, skillfully clinking glasses and enjoying themselves.

"Elder!" Nogas exclaimed as he saw an unfathomable, middle-aged man on the second floor whom he had never expected to be there.

The elders have never attended gatherings like this before, but today it's because...

Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to Nie Fan, maintaining a reserved smile: "Mr. Nie Fan, to be honest, it was not I who invited you this time, but an elder of the vampire clan."

Nie Fan followed his finger and looked at the person below the stage. Their eyes met, and his red eyes narrowed slightly. Danger arose the moment their eyes met.

On the verge of exploding—

Suddenly, the vampire elder vanished from among the vampires and reappeared not far from the four of them.

Xingnuan was momentarily blinded by a flash of light, and as she blinked, something popped into her mind.

She looked at the familiar, shimmering white gem in the vampire elder's hand. He had wrapped it in a section of white robe to avoid being burned by its holy power, after all, he and Nirvana were, to some extent, the ones abandoned by God.

"Nievan, be careful!" she cried out in a panic just as the vampire elder disappeared again.

But it was too late. She watched as Niefan was caught off guard and injured by the gem in his hand, which was forcefully injected into his body. Instantly, his eyes blazed with red light, radiating the most dazzling brilliance, and his face contorted in agony, as if he were experiencing unbearable torment.

Xingnuan stood there blankly, completely at a loss as to how to save him.

Unable to endure it any longer, the red light in Nirvana's eyes gradually dimmed, and most of the oppressive aura emanating from him dissipated. Finally, exhausted, he was about to collapse onto the floor, the black energy swirling around him surging uncontrollably.

Xingnuan stepped forward to support his sliding body, her panic growing stronger with each step.

"Nogas, lock them in the dungeon and wait for that old bastard Moral to arrive!" The vampire elder threw away his white robe and said disdainfully.
