Alien world

Chapter 1079 1. Crimson Overlord
Land of Eternal Night, the Stuart Family.

After the long war against the Kingdom of Rekanel came to an end, Annan went to the Land of Eternal Night under the pretext of sending gifts, avoiding countless government affairs while expressing his gratitude to the Scarlet Queen for her help.

And to show the vampires in the Land of Eternal Night that Liberty City and the Stewart Family stand together.

There were some new faces in the castle. The Scarlet Queen said that the scattered tribesmen and servants had gradually crawled out of their coffins. So to them, Annan was the new face.

After the banquet, the Scarlet Queen took Annan away from the guests and strolled along the lakeside veranda under the full moon.

An old servant, who looked extremely old, pushed the Scarlet Queen's wheelchair and walked behind.

Annan and Lena were walking in front. Lena was jumping and spraining her ankle accidentally. Annan, who was standing next to her, quickly supported her and the two leaned against each other.

Scarlet Queen Serena couldn't help laughing behind her. Her daughter had been running around the castle for hundreds of years, so how could she stumble?
Lena fell towards Annan and took the opportunity to bite Annan's neck, but was blocked by Annan's hand with ease.

Lena's fangs rubbed across the palm of her hand, and it felt as itchy as feeding Lily a small fish.

"How long will you stay here?" Lena asked
"It won't be long."

Annan pushed Lianna's head away and looked back at the Scarlet Queen who was parked by the lake: "Go and have fun, I have something to talk to your mother about."

"Oh……"

Lena responded, lively chasing after a group of bats flying across the night sky, and suddenly turned her head.

Is there something wrong?

……

A light breeze blew, and a faint sound appeared among the leaves.

Annan stood next to the Scarlet Queen and looked like... well, unless the Scarlet Queen had some special fetish, she and Annan didn't look like a couple.

The old servant walked away, and the Scarlet Queen looked at her back with her red eyes: "I watched Monroe grow up since she was a child..."

"Then she is an old member of the family... huh?" Annan wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"Appearance does not represent the age of vampires. For vampires, only the weak will age." The Scarlet Queen retracted her gaze, "You shouldn't have rejected Lena's First Embrace."

"I'm a warlock, and I'm half-immortal. Being a vampire isn't that tempting for me." Annan shrugged.

"That's a pity..."

After the news came from the north, the Scarlet Queen admired Annan more and more, even transcending the racial barriers.

The immortal species possess eternal glory, and the short-lived species can also have a brief glory.

After being rejected by Annan, the Scarlet Queen resumed her coldness and ruthlessness as a queen: "I don't want to stop you without understanding romance, but Lianna is still young, and she still wants to revive the family..."

"Indeed, I am only four hundred and ninety-five years old."

That's based on the lifespan of a vampire. If it were a human...

"She is as lively as a sixteen-year-old girl."

Annan thought that the Scarlet Queen, who was preparing to train her daughter to be the new queen, would conduct a series of cruel training, from etiquette to politics to the art of being thick-skinned, but Lena was still so heartless.

"It's just a few months' rest. She's been away from me for too long, and it would be cruel to start it right away."

"You are such a good mother..."

But Lena was destined to be different from herself. Free City was brand new, and after breaking the old shackles of the Kingdom of Rekanel, Annan could do whatever he wanted.

The Stewart family can't do that. What they carry is too old and too heavy, and just thinking about it makes people breathless.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Annan couldn't help but ask.

"You can't help."

Annan wanted to refute, but he really couldn't help. The Scarlet Queen needed powerful helpers, legendary, epic, or hundreds of masters. Annan could only find her a few hundred blood packs.

"You can wait for me for a few years. It takes you a long time just to quarrel anyway."

Annan had no choice but to advance the future.

After defeating the Kingdom of Rikanel, his seat in the Holy Temple would be at least in the top ten rows. On the continent of Allen, he would probably be... among the top thousand outstanding lords.

It seems like there is nothing to be proud of.

The Scarlet Queen stopped talking about serious topics with her guest. She looked up at the red moon, revealing a perfect jawline: "What do you want to do next?" "Go home."

"I mean what to do specifically."

Annan looked at the queen's flawless profile carefully and said, "Just go home, back to Xingyue Bay."

The Scarlet Queen opened her red lips slightly: "When?"

"I'll leave as soon as I get back."

"Then go spend more time with Lena."

"Okay, I'll push you back."

Annan was about to go around to the back of the wheelchair, but the Scarlet Queen stopped him: "I want to bask in the moonlight again."

"Ok."

Annan turned and walked towards the castle, but the scene of the Scarlet Queen turning her wheelchair back when no one was around appeared in his mind... It was so blasphemous.

When we arrived at the front of the castle, Lena was playing the King game with a group of little vampires in the garden... no, it was to establish their authority.

They will be Lena's right-hand men for the next thousands of years.

"I am the inevitable catastrophe, the crimson destruction, the shadow of the land of eternal night, the scarlet master!" Lena raised her hands high.

The little vampires, who were only a few dozen years old, surrendered to the ground one after another.

Lian Na found An Nan, let them continue to lie down, and jumped in front of An Nan with her hands behind her back. After turning around, she suddenly asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Ah."

"When will you come again?"

"Before your birthday."

Annan still remembered that Lian Na's crimson eyes curved, and she tilted her head and asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"I'm going home. I'm a little... homesick, you know?"

"Same as when I was going to meet my mother?"

"Ah."

"Um... do you want a hug then?"

Annan pointed at the little ones peeking from behind and said, "You are the majestic Crimson Overlord. Is it okay for your subjects to see your weak side?"

"It's ok."

Lian Na hugged Annan and put her head on his shoulder, then let go of him after a while: “But I am still the majestic Crimson Overlord.”

"Of course, my princess."

……

Xingyue Bay...

A word from the past, covered in dust. So long ago that wars have been fought, kingdoms have changed hands, mountains have crumbled, royal families have wandered the wilderness, avengers have lifted the heads of their enemies, a dragon has taken a nap, and a stone man has yawned.

The population of Free City swelled to 100,000, and hundreds of thousands of civilians were resettled in Gem Bay and the Principality of Montamblelock.

The new residents dispersed the old people who had followed Annan since Xingyue Bay, but they did not disappear, they just became the background color of Liberty City.

They will never forget Xingyue Bay. In their memories, it was more beautiful than Liberty City.

At the same time, it also carries Annan’s immature dreams at the time.

It succeeded and it failed.

Failed by the kingdom's betrayal, but succeeded in hatching the unparalleled masterpiece of Liberty City.

What has prevented them from returning home was not homesickness, but simply the presence of the Kingdom of Rekanel, the ratmen, and the demons standing in their way.

But after clearing the obstacles, they were able to go home and visit.
