Chapter 38 - The Youngest Duke

In the early hours of the morning, in the castle, a huge black coffin resided.

Mu En wakes up on time from his sleep.

For the blood clan, the night is the time they are most active.

He originally planned to travel last night but did not due to some circumstances.

In the end, he chose to spend the night in the castle because Anna did not like the blood coffin. Therefore, last night, Mu En could only make a coffin on the spot.

Until he saw Arnia's inventory, Mu En once again whined that Arnia was really rich.

He could make such a huge coffin with only scraps, and these were some of the worst scraps that Mu En had spent such a long time in the warehouse to find.

Even so, the quality of this coffin could be said to be the best; not only was it warm in winter and cool in summer, but it was also helpful for cultivation.

However, looking at the naked girl beside him, Mu En realized that after last night... his spiritual power seemed to have some of Anna's characteristics, becoming more concealed and less easily discovered.

"It's time to get up!"

"No! Let me sleep for a while more." Anna said coquettishly.

"Hey, hey, hey, did you forget your identity? If I tell you to get up, you get up. It's time to set off."

"If I don't get up, what can you do to me?" Anna turned over, straightened her body, and said to Mu En.

"You forced me to do this!" Mu En turned over and pressed himself against her.

...

"How much further do we have to go? Did you get lost?"

"How is that possible?" Mu En found that this woman was getting more and more outrageous. Not only did she become more and more disobedient, but she also dared to doubt him.

It seemed that he had to find a time to teach her a lesson.

After two hours, Mu En finally found the place according to his memory.

It couldn't be helped. This could be said to be the first time he had returned home after coming to this world.

After all, when he transmigrated, he was in the ancestral land of the vampires, and this place was where Mu En and his butler and servant relied on each other for survival.

After arriving here, Mu En discovered that this place was already very different,

the originally dilapidated houses were now brand new, and there were many more buildings being built around them.

Many people were working hard, and the butler, Alford, was commanding and supervising from the side.

"Elford, what's going on?"

Elford heard a familiar voice, and his body trembled. He turned his head and saw Mu En's figure.

"Welcome back, Duke Mu En. This old servant hasn't done a good job, and it hasn't been completed yet. However, the place where the Duke is resting has been built." Alford pointed at the gothic, black buildings.

"Elford, what's going on? What do you mean we can't stay here? We came here back then, so there's no need to make it so complicated. We just need a place to stay."

"That won't do!" Elford's resolute attitude scared Mu En. "I was incompetent in the past and failed to protect the things left by the old master for the young master."

"But now, since the young master has grown up and shouldered the reputation of the Giovanni family, he naturally can't be the same as before..."

Just like that, they talked for an hour, and Mu En finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that after he had separated from Lucius and the others, Lucius had brought people here.

After listening to the butler Elford's instructions, Elford initially thought that they had bad intentions and did not trust them.

It was not until Lucius slowly explained everything bit by bit and even directly showed the family tattoo that Elford began to believe them.

The result was obvious. The old butler was so excited that he almost cried. Of course, this was related to the rumors that Lucius had spread around that Mu En had received the inheritance of the nobles and the recognition of the nobles.

"Lucius!" Through the blood slave imprint, Mu En naturally sensed that Lucius was still here and had not returned to his territory.

Lucius was drinking tea at the side. When he heard the imprint in his mind tremble, he immediately understood that Mu En might have returned.

He hurriedly ran over.

"Did I say that I have never received the inheritance of the nobles?"

"Yes!" Lucius nodded.

"Didn't I tell you not to spread these rumors?"

"Yes!" Lucius still nodded.

"Then what's going on?" Mu En questioned the news that he had just heard from the butler.

Lucius was very puzzled. "Your Grace, I didn't spread the rumors. I only said that it's possible. There's that kind of possibility."

Seeing how Lucius acted as if it was a matter of course, Mu En almost wanted to slap him to death. However, when he thought about it, everything here was basically spent on Lucius' assets.

After thinking about it, he decided to forget about it.

"Elford, there's no need to do this anymore." Mu En shouted at Elford in the distance,

just a moment ago, Elford had turned around to give out commands again.

"No, Duke, you can't live in such a shabby place anymore." Elford was determined not to give in.

"That's right, Duke, your place is too... that's a bit too much. Why don't you come to my place first? If you don't mind, I'll give you my viscount's mansion directly." Lucius suggested.

"There's no need. The Duke should naturally stay in the Duke's mansion."

Lucius' eyes lit up after hearing this. "Your Grace, do you mean that you're going to... Take back the Duke's mansion?"

The matter of Mu En being chased out of the Duke's mansion had already spread like wildfire. Basically, everyone in the territory who had some influence knew about it.

"That's right!" Now, he had the right to say this.

Elford looked at the youth in front of him. It could be said that he had watched him grow up.

At the beginning, when he saw this youth, Elford felt that there had been a great change.

After thinking for a long time, he still could not figure out what was wrong.

Now that he looked again, it turned out that the youth had already grown up.

Originally, he was a servant of the Duke's mansion, but in the end, he could not even protect the Duke's mansion.

All this time, he had been deeply immersed in self-blame and guilt.

Now that the youth who needed his protection had grown up and he could fly alone.

Elford was so excited that his tears flowed freely.

"Elford, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's just that... this old servant thought that if the old master could see the young master's current appearance, he would definitely be very pleased." Elford wiped away his tears.

"However, there's no hurry to take back the Duke's mansion. It's not too late to wait for the young master to be a little bigger and we gather enough manpower."

Although taking back the Duke's mansion had always been Elford's top priority, the most important thing now was to protect the young master.

In fact, he was already very gratified to hear from the young master that he had taken back the Duke's mansion.

"No, there's no need to wait. I'll go and take back the Duke's mansion in a few days." Mu En did not have that much time to waste.

He could not repeat the sign-in at the place he had already signed into. He had already wasted enough time at Arnia's place.

Fortunately, the harvest was not small, and it was not too much of a loss.

However, if he continued to waste time at this place, how much time would he waste? Moreover, he planned to go out for a stroll.

One was for a better sign-in reward, and the other was for the saint of the Holy Knights' order to dispel the curse.

It was very likely that the saint had a weakness that could resolve the vampires' fear of the sun.

Therefore, he had to deal with the matters here as soon as possible.

"Young master don't be rash. The safety of the young master is the priority." Elford was unwilling to let Mu En take the risk.

Even if he thought that Mu En had received the inheritance of the nobles, how long had it been?

It would take time for him to become stronger!

He firmly opposed it. In fact, except for Lucius who firmly stood on Mu En's side, the other retainers also had the same attitude as Alford.

Mu En was a little curious. was this guy who occupied the Duke's mansion really that awesome?

"Duke, you don't know that the one who occupied the Duke's mansion was not the former subordinate of the previous Duke, but someone from another clan."

"Since it's someone from another clan, then he's even less qualified!"

"No, the person who occupied the Duke's mansion is Count William Lysenne, the most outstanding member of the Lysenne clan."

"And it's been rumored that he will be conferred the title of Duke. If It's true, then he might become the youngest Duke."

The few of them had solemn expressions. The main reason was that this William Lysenne fellow was simply too famous and too powerful.

The reason why Arnia did not occupy the Duke's mansion at that time was partly because of the previous duke, and partly because he did not want to offend Count Lysenne.

"So, he is not a Duke now?" Mu En swept his gaze across the people in front of him one by one.

"That's strange. That means I'm the youngest duke.".

The crowd looked at each other. They had always thought that becoming the youngest duke should be done step by step.

They did not include people like Mu En who directly inherited the title of Duke.

"Lord Duke, this has always been the default step by step."

"Really? Who is the youngest Duke in the history of the blood clan?"

"Your father, the previous Duke!"
