Vivian.

Vader's mother, the maid who gave birth to an illegitimate child named Dalton Sissel and left the manor with the child who should have died to raise it alone.

Vader got out of the car.When he turned his head, he saw Lucian was still sitting in the car.

Lucian was wearing a little black dress and short boots studded with crystals today.Vader frowned and said, "What?"

"Do you need to buy a bunch of flowers?" Lucian asked.

Vader looked at him inexplicably, and after a while, returned to the carriage.

The carriage continued on.The cemetery where Vivienne is located is on the outer edge of the royal city.Fortunately, they quickly found a nearby civilian street, where they found a flower shop.

There was no clerk on duty in the flower shop.Lucian rang the bell for a long time before the boss hurried out from inside.Lucian bought a bouquet of lilies, asked the boss to dress it up with wrapping paper and ribbons, and held it in his hands.

He came out of the flower shop with the bouquet of white lilies in his hands, and saw Vader carelessly playing with his stick.Seeing him coming out, Vader turned his head and saw the young man in black dress standing in the sunlight.The sun wet the bouquet of white lilies, and his shiny face, long silver-white hair and bright red lips were right behind the bouquet.

He paused unconsciously.

Lucian:?

The two walked towards the carriage.Before leaving, Lucian saw something shining in the grass at the corner of the street, so he stopped the driver: "Wait."

He subconsciously took the bouquet in his hand to Vader—to his shock, Vader actually took it.

Lucian pushed aside the grass, and a sea blue gemstone ring was lying quietly in the grass.

He picked up the ring, the huge sapphire was expensive, but it looked familiar.It wasn't until he dried the ring with a handkerchief that he saw the owner's name on the silver ring.

Vader walked towards him, Lucian held the ring and said to him, "This is Elizabeth's ring."

Wade raised his eyebrows, and Lucian actually saw some inexplicable displeasure in his expression: "So?"

"It's nothing, master, do you want to put it into the treasury, or return it to the Green family?" Lucian smirked.

"After returning from the cemetery in the afternoon, I will take you to return it to the Green family." Vader's voice was cold, "Now, get in the car."

Vader stretched out his hand to him, and Lucian obediently put the ring into Vader's palm.The mood is rarely calm, the Great Demon King suddenly entered a moody state again.Until the carriage started driving, Vader still had a gloomy face.

Lucian wisely chose not to touch his bad head, but lowered his head and fiddled with the bouquet of flowers, thinking about how Elizabeth would drop the ring in this place - just now he looked through the sunlight and found that the ring was indeed real The goods, to say the least, are worth [-] gold pounds.

There are also weird blood and friction marks on it.

But he didn't expect that his honesty would make Vader's coldness even worse.Lucian didn't understand until he got out of the car, how did his obedient behavior offend Vader.

Vivian's grave is deep in the cemetery.After arriving at the simple and desolate tomb, Lucian lowered his body to place the bouquet of lilies in front of the other's tomb.

"Keep holding it."

Vader said.

Lucian:? ?

Then he watched Vader order two guards to step forward and start digging the soil under the tombstone.

Lucian:?Didn't you bring me to see your mother... no, to her grave? !

He knew that Vader was a lunatic, but he didn't expect Vader to go crazy and even dig his own mother's grave, not only that, but also brought him to watch him dig the grave.Lucian looked at Vader hesitantly to speak, and hesitant to speak: "You..."

Vader smiled lowly, and sat on the stone beside him, with one long leg hanging down, pointing to the ground.

"I've always been curious about one thing." He looked up at the blood-stained maple leaf, "That's the source of the blood and curse on me. Since it's not the Sissel family or Dalton, then it can only From Vivian."

Lucian: ...

"But how could a woman with the blood of a fallen god allow herself to fall into such a situation?" Vader said indifferently, "Besides that, there are other things...so today I brought someone to open her her coffin, examine her skeleton, and thus..."

Find the mystery of your own life experience.

He became suspicious of his own parentage.

Lucian: ...

Vader was indeed a pervert.

"Then why didn't you stop me from buying flowers? I thought you came here to visit the grave." Lucian complained, "You made me hug me all the way..."

Vader asked in surprise, "I thought you liked flowers?"

Lucian: ………

Lucian: "Hehe."

Lucian continued to hold the flowers until the dark coffin under the soil was revealed.He did understand Vader's intentions, but at this moment he was really confused - Vader brought him here, let him admire him digging his biological mother's grave, let him stay here with him?

What kind of coquettish and crazy thinking is this... Forget it, he gave up understanding the other party.

The moment the coffin was revealed, the two guards had already retreated to the back.Vader walked towards the coffin step by step. There was no emotion in his scarlet eyes, he just stretched out his hand and made a raised gesture.

The coffin lid was slowly raised.

Vader hadn't seen his birth mother buried—strange to say, he hadn't had any soft feelings since he was born.He knew that Vivienne was afraid of him, calling him a monster countless times when he thought he was asleep.When he heard that Vivienne had passed away and the body had been buried in a coffin, he never felt sad or shed a single tear.

It's a real monster.

Therefore, when he saw the empty interior of the coffin, he never showed any expression because of being deceived.

The two guards were very scared, they immediately knelt on the ground, thinking that they had accidentally exposed the emperor's shocking secret.

With a loud bang, Vader let go of his fingers.The coffin lid fell on the excavated soil, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Go." He said to Lucian.

Lucian blinked.He saw the two guards still shivering on the ground, so he wanted to take the opportunity to throw the bouquet of flowers to lose weight.Just as he was about to throw the flowers to the ground, he heard Vader's voice.

"Give me the flowers."

Vader clearly turned his back to him, God knows how he discovered Lucian's little move.

The bouquet was then in Vader's hands.The two got into the carriage again, and Vader said to the coachman, "Go to the Green family mansion."

Horse-drawn carriages drive on the road.Lucian sat opposite Vader. He saw the black-haired young man looking out of the window with a calm expression. He couldn't help asking, "Why is your mother's tomb empty?"

He mentioned this sentence not because he wanted to get an answer from Vader's mouth, but because he was surprised by Vader's normal expression.

Vader glanced at him, and said calmly after a long time: "I have expected it a long time ago."

"What to expect?"

"How could an ordinary maid give birth to a child with the blood of a fallen angel that even she herself was terrified of?" Vader smiled sarcastically, "So now—the mystery has been revealed. She is not me. Her mother did not die either. She did not hesitate to resort to feigning death to escape from this child who made her fear."

Lucian: ...

"The Sissel family is really an interesting family." Vader looked at his palm and said casually, "What secrets are hidden under that ancient and glorious family emblem? This is really exciting."

"Is that right, Lucian? You were once a member of this family too."

The carriage finally stopped in front of the vast and luxurious mansion of the Green family, and Lucian knew that Vader was waiting for his answer.

"Is there any difference?" He yawned, "There is no difference between the monster born by the maid and the monster born by someone. Uh...!"

He heard Vader chuckle twice, and pulled his wrist which was covering his mouth.He bit Lucian's wrist, and laughed when the other party showed a stunned expression.

Even the shoulders were shaking.

When walking into the Green family's mansion, Lucian found an ordinary mask to wear.Although an ordinary mask can cover his appearance, the horns and tail that belong to the succubus are fully exposed.

——No surprises, tomorrow all the nobles will know that the emperor brought the succubus canary he raised to visit the Green family.

Vader didn't explain his purpose of coming here at the very beginning. After all, a girl's ring appeared in another man's hand, which would really lead to unnecessary scandals.On the contrary, the old Duke Green received him very warmly.He thanked Vader for helping the Holy See seal the magic circle that allowed monsters to enter and exit during that disaster, and thanked Lucian beside Vader for protecting his daughter.Lucian didn't speak, but Vader cleverly shifted the topic to Elizabeth.

"Thanks to Oscar and Mrs. Hayley, they sent her back intact... I have to let her out and thank you." The old Duke Green is indeed a figure with many faces, he laughed loudly, Order the housekeeper to call Elizabeth down, "The little girl is a little depressed after the accident, please bear with me."

"It's understandable. It's really difficult for a young lady to experience such a bloody scene." Vader said politely.

Lucian couldn't help but glanced at the other party, slandering in his heart that Vader could behave so normally and gracefully when he needed it.

"She has been hiding in her room since she came back, and she didn't even hold her favorite tea party on weekdays." Old Duke Green said, he seemed really worried about the apple of his eye, "Hope Time will dilute all this."

"The God of Light bless you." Vader said solemnly.With such blessings from the blood of the Fallen God, Lucian couldn't help but want to laugh.

Just then Elizabeth came down the stairs.

"Father?" Her voice was a little hoarse, "Is there a guest...want to see me?"

Lucian looked up.He saw Elizabeth in her pale blue dress.The blond-haired, blue-eyed girl was pale, and her bangs blocked her downcast eyes.Her hand was on the railing, her fingers were long and slender.

On that finger, she wore a sea-blue gemstone ring.

Vader glanced at her casually, then smiled at the old Duke Grimm: "You're so polite."

He didn't mention the ring, didn't show the ring.

The two walked out of the mansion. On the marble road, Lucian recalled what he had just seen, and said, "Just now..."

He stopped, and turned his head slowly.

He saw the blond, blue-eyed Elizabeth standing by the window on the second floor, staring palely at them!

'Go out and talk. ' Vader gasped.

They drove for a while in the carriage before Lucian said, "The woman just now was not Elizabeth."

"you sure?"

"The ring she's wearing is a fake." Lucian snorted, "You can't question my vision."

He shook his calf, thinking about the fake Elizabeth.

Since the Elizabeth who appeared in the Green Mansion and was returned here by Oscar Dalton and Mrs. Hayley is a fake, where did the real Elizabeth go?

He remembered that Mrs. Hayley had photographed Elizabeth's painting that day, and indicated that she wanted to make a face-to-face deal with her... Was Elizabeth's disappearance really a coincidence?

"I left a tracking spell on Elizabeth. But it has a limited duration..."

As soon as Lucian finished speaking, he felt that Vader's breath became a little scary.

"...It's to find the location of the secret passage. I originally wanted to leave traces and escape from there." Lucian smiled, talking about the fact that the Duke of Houston sent someone to pick up Oscar and others and left the Houston house through the secret passage. Confidentially, "It's not like you don't know that I've been trying to escape."

As he spoke, he stretched out his calf and rubbed it against Vader's leg.It was only at the moment of dawdling that he realized that he was no longer at the stage where he pretended to be mentally retarded to show closeness.

Lucian: ... pills.

Vader raised his eyebrows high and said, "Stop."

Lucian retracted his legs and made a "I'll be honest" expression.

"Don't forget, you wanted to kill me before." Vader said coldly.

"Oh..." Lucian said.

He originally wanted to say another sentence, "I didn't forget that you saved me because of an accident", but seeing Vader's face, he took this sentence back with interest.

It's a hard time being forced to pretend to be good in front of the owner.Lucian felt a little displeased.

The kitten in his heart flicked the tip of its tail unhappily.

Following the guidance of the tracking spell, they arrived at the exit of the secret road in the Houston Manor—the secret road in the Houston Manor actually led to a forest in the north of the city, which was actually quite similar to the cemetery.

Then there was no trace of the spell.

"The clue is broken." Lucian rubbed his toes on the ground, bored, "In this case, let's go back—it's getting dark, Master Vader. What do you think I'm doing?"

"Nothing." Vader said.

After a while, he said: "We can go back, but before we go, we can go to a place to see."

"Where?"

"That flower shop." Vader said.

Lucian frowned, and finally, he said sullenly, "Then obey the master's orders."

The two changed attire before heading back to the flower shop.Lucian hid his tail in his cloak and his horns in his hat.They traded for a low-key, ubiquitous carriage.

That flower shop was really weird.After the two of them came in the morning, a "Closed Business" sign was hung on the door.Lucian sat beside Vader and said, "I don't remember you being such a nosy character."

"I have received news before. A month ago, fallen angel believers became more active in the royal city. They traded some materials in the black market. Someone saw a suspected figure of Oscar Houston among them and reported it anonymously. To the Holy See. However, the Holy See regarded it as an absurd statement and did not pay attention to it.”

"Fallen Angel...a believer?"

"The group of fallen angel believers who traded belonged to the most extreme faction even among all the fallen angel believers. But they have been silent for more than ten years, and this is the first time they have reappeared." Vader Said, "They call themselves the Fallen Cross. You may have heard of their notoriety."

"Fallen Cross Society..." Lucian thought for a while, then blinked, "I seem to have heard of this name before."

He suddenly remembered this organization.

What he thinks of is not the plot of the original work, but the memories of his childhood as "Lucien".

"I remembered, it seems to be a year after you returned to Sissel Manor - an organization called the 'Fallen Cross' abducted more than ten children and teenagers, one or two nobles, and more The common people used them as sacrifices to perform black sacrifices." Lucian put his finger on his forehead and said, "But the Holy See was not so bad at that time, they went there in time and saved a noble child inside... ..."

"The child's name is Oscar Houston."
