Can't I develop my own character?

"I think so too."

The nobles all spoke to Casradi.

Casradi looked calm and didn't bother to pay attention.

Soon the team was lined up, and six people came over from Ryan's side, including "Weine".

"Ryan, this is an engagement party. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you're doing this?" Herman said impatiently, "Or is this so-called engagement party just empty talk? There's not even a hostess, and you're just asking us to come here to line up?"

"Who says there's no hostess?"

Ryan took out his pocket watch and looked at it. When the time came, he clapped his hands, and the sound was clear and loud.

While everyone was puzzled, someone suddenly shouted in horror - "Blood! There's blood!!"

Thick and bright red blood was seen flowing in the cracks of doors and under windows around the hall!

The blood continued to spread from the periphery of the hall into the interior, gradually surrounding them. Under the light, the entire hall was soon illuminated in a sea of ​​blood red!

It was blood red and glaring, and it looked nothing like an engagement hall, but rather like hell on earth.

As the blood surged, bright red stamens blossomed in the blood, and finally formed a road covered with "flowers"!

The path extended all the way to the main entrance of the hall, and then the door was slowly opened.

Under everyone's horrified gaze, 'Shirley' in a blood-red dress suddenly appeared!

She stood at the door and said to Ryan, "I killed a few people who didn't obey me, but I brought their heads to the engagement party."

......

First update, 7k5! I'll have a meal and continue writing. I want to make it to the vote list last month. Brothers, please help me push forward!!!

Chapter ⑧9 Ryan: Am I going to become Japanese?! [6k]

The hall was quiet for a long time.

Even Casradi felt her heart tremble when she saw 'Xiali' in that blood-red dress. It was the first time she had seen such a scene at a banquet.

Jonathan was so shocked that he couldn't believe it. Was this an engagement party? He even believed it was a battlefield!

The bloody liquid flowed in the hall and covered every corner. This was not red paint, but real blood!

How many people did this killer god kill?!

At this moment, as 'Xia Li' finished speaking, several heads emerged from the blood flowing on the ground. Each of them closed their eyes and passed away peacefully.

These heads floated over with blood, floating towards Hermann and others.

"what!!!!"

There were sounds of panic in the hall.

As expected, nothing unexpected happened and everyone was shocked, including Ryan.

"Killing! Killing!"

"This is... Viscount Adeka?!"

Hermann exclaimed as he looked at one of the heads. Viscount Adeka was the lord of Mist City and another noble who had supported him.

The two have discussed joining the Fourth Prince. He came to Berman City to attend Ryan's engagement party, while the other party went to the Earl of Lanster's castle for a party.

Why are you here?

Doesn't the death of Viscount Adeka mean...

"It's Viscount Rankin!"

"This is Madam Manya!"

"Also, there's Madam Mirabell!"

"Oh my god...what the hell is going on?!"

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

These nobles were all panicked and looked at Casradi nervously, hoping that the latter would smile and tell them that "these are just magic tricks."

Casradi finally chose to remain silent. At this point, she could only hand over the stage to Ryan and 'Xia Li'.

"Everyone." Ryan coughed lightly, "Look, this is the hostess of the banquet you have been waiting for. Please applaud and welcome her~"

Of course no one applauded.

This is wrong!

"Lian! How dare you... How dare you kill a noble! You have committed a serious crime!" Hermann screamed, his voice breaking.

"What do you mean by killing nobles? Which eye of yours saw me kill nobles?" Ryan curled his lips. "I've been here the whole time. Tell me when I killed them."

"You're still trying to argue. I just heard her say she killed those people!"

"Really? Did you hear it?" Ryan looked at the other nobles.

"I... I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything!" A baron standing on Ryan's side said nervously and loudly, "They must have been killed by the cultists, yes, they must have been!"

"Yes, yes, this must be the method used by cultists. Only cultists can be so cruel."

"None of this has anything to do with Mayor Ryan, and even less so with Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Now even the nobles standing opposite took the initiative to defend Ryan and Casradi. Anyone who dares to accuse them at this time must be courting death!

At the gate, 'Xia Li', who paid no attention to the farce inside, walked into the hall along the bloody path.

She was wearing a pair of red crystal shoes, which complemented her dress. As she walked, a misty blood fog was faintly visible around her. The bright red and dazzling blood flowers also swayed with her arrival, as if they were alive.

This bizarre scene immediately killed all the sounds in the hall. The ordinary people among the nobles only felt a strong sense of suffocation, and were in so much pain that they had difficulty breathing.

"What are you..."

Ryan looked at the vast expanse of blood-red surrounding him. Although he had arranged for Charlie to come in, he hadn't expected her to make such a terrifying entrance. Was this an engagement party? Was this a bloody wedding banquet?

"Blood is the color of the battlefield and the destination of life. It is fleeting, and that's how it is on the battlefield..." 'Xia Li' wrapped a line of blood around her fingertips, and then flicked it lightly. The blood shot out and exploded a head with a bang.

"Only when you understand the horror of war will you cherish the peace before you. No need to thank me, this is the gift I brought. Welcome everyone to my engagement party with Ryan."

Herman was already going crazy. He screamed, "Look! This guy is a cultist! She is a cultist!!"

Although he shouted very loudly, no one responded to him.

Suddenly, Herman's voice stopped abruptly, as if an invisible hand had clamped his neck. Herman held his neck with both hands to try to ease the situation, but as his breathing became more difficult, his face turned blue and purple.

He knelt on the ground in agony, stretched out his hands and tried to ask for help from the people around him, but the 'companions' who had just stood with him were so scared that they quickly retreated and avoided him as if he were the plague.

Thump~

Hermann fell to the ground, his body twitched a few times and then he was silent.

Ryan was shocked: "Viscount Hermann, what's wrong with you? Quick! Someone come!"

"Mayor Ryan, Herman..."

"Someone come and carry him down!"

"???"

wow~

Hundreds of fully armed soldiers rushed in from outside the door. Two of them dragged Hermann's body out, and the rest stayed in the hall, stepping in a pool of blood with solemn expressions.

These are the Iron Blood Army, and they are the ones who followed 'Xia Li' to fight... Of course, even if they have not experienced all this, they can still stand here with firm eyes.

This group of iron-clad soldiers became the last straw that broke the psychological defenses of the nobles present.

"Your Highness, just tell me what you want!" An aristocrat had a sad face. He was really scared to death.

"What Ryan means is what I mean." Casradi did not express any thoughts and left everything to Ryan.

Those nobles looked at Ryan again. The quick-thinking ones had already taken out gifts from their pockets. Some had prepared them in advance but had not taken them out before, and some had not prepared anything at all, but after seeing the fate of Hermann and others, they took out whatever valuables they had.

However, taking the gift at this time will have completely different effects than before.

Ryan ignored him and clapped his hands again. Several soldiers walked out and came back after a while, escorting several people. The nobles looked closely and saw that the leader was Lanster.

"Ryan, have you captured them all?"

Casradi was a little surprised.

"Yes, those who could come came, and those who couldn't come...then didn't come."

This incident was actually a "coincidence". Ryan did not foresee in advance that Lanster would secretly win over the nobles to hold parties. It was purely an accident, because "Vene" was originally preparing to expand outward, and the biggest obstacle was Lanster.

So she kept sending people to keep an eye on them, which allowed Ryan to discover the other party's actions in advance.

Otherwise, today would be really difficult.

The man was chopped to pieces last night and the body was brought back today.

"Casradi! Casradi, you are so brave that you dare to kill the imperial nobles! His Majesty will never let you go, and the Inquisition will never let you go!!!" Lanster is a middle-aged man with brown hair. He looked a little listless when he was brought in, but when he saw Casradi, the resentment and anger in his heart rushed out.

Casradi was also innocent. She really didn't expect Ryan to make such a big deal out of it. But since it had come to this, she could only make things more drastic.

Lanster wanted to curse, but Casradi made a gesture and the escorting soldier slapped Lanster in the face, causing him to vomit blood.

The rest of the people didn't dare to speak.

"Are you all done? Now it's my turn to speak. Do you have any objections?" Ryan clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back. He smiled and said, "As you can see, today is Miss Charlie and I's engagement party. Although there was a little unpleasant conflict, it's harmless. Let's do what we have to do."

"So, what's next? As I said before, Her Royal Highness is going to compete for the crown prince position. I hope everyone will support her."

"Lord Ryan, you know me. I always support Her Royal Highness the Princess!" shouted a noble.

"Me too!"

"I support the princess! I support the princess!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, everyone take your time."

Ryan pressed his hand. "Now, I'd like to ask everyone to cooperate and accept the interrogation first. Then we will sign a contract. With this contract, we will always be friends."

Interrogation, contract?

The nobles present looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this time, 'Vine' came over, holding a staff, and asked a noble, "Are you truly following Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

The noble was stunned for a moment, then said hurriedly, "Of course!"

"Aren't you a mole sent by someone else?"

"no no."

'Vine' nodded and asked again, "Are you truly following the princess?"

The noble was about to answer, but suddenly his mind wandered off and he said dully, "No."

"Are you a mole sent by someone else?"

"I...I belong to the Second Prince."

wow~~

The nobles were shocked.

"It's obviously the same question, why is it so..."

Extraordinary!

They suddenly realized that 'Weine' had been in cahoots with Ryan for a long time.

"continue."

Ryan waved and spoke calmly.

'Weinei' continued to ask questions, intending to dig out people from all other forces and get more information.

With the Soul Singer's spell of words, even extraordinary people would be affected by his powerful mental strength, not to mention that these nobles are basically ordinary people, and only a few of them have extraordinary powers but have not changed their professions.

Lanster is indeed an extraordinary person, but unfortunately he is only at the first level and has no room for resistance at all.

Facts have proven that only a few people are qualified to transition to becoming extraordinary people, and their noble bloodline does not make them superior in this regard.

Interrogate, dig out information, confirm identity, and sign a contract.

Resistance is futile.
