The cold wind cut through the night, and the chilling air blew from all directions.

They flew in the air for two hours and finally arrived at the castle where Yelisheng used to live.

The castle was in a remote location, surrounded by mountains and covered by towering trees in the forest. Unless carefully explored, the castle would not be discovered at all.

Vines twisted around the castle, and a thick layer of dust accumulated on top. As the cold wind blew, the dust fluttered down.

Mei Weisi looked ahead at the castle and sighed, "Ah... everything has changed..."

"Yes..." Li Xi and Xue Youyue also sighed.

They entered the castle and looked at the empty hall and rooms, feeling a chill in their hearts.

Mei Weisi went into her grandmother's room. The furnishings were the same as before, except for a little more dust and not much change.

There was an old family photo on the bedside table, a group photo that included her grandmother, father, mother, aunt, cousin, and herself.

Looking at this scene, Mei Weisi felt a mix of emotions, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"My father and mother have passed away, my aunt and cousin's whereabouts are unknown, and my grandmother has passed away," Mei Weisi choked.

She had two younger sisters, one missing and the other's fate unknown.

At this moment, a strong sorrow surged in Mei Weisi's heart, as if endless grievances and pain were overwhelming her.

She couldn't help but hug her knees and curled up on the edge of the bed, crying in pain.

The Cecilia Royal Family had gone from prosperity to the current state in just one night...

Tears rolled down her cheeks, flowing into her mouth.

Her mouth tasted salty, as if her heart was being twisted.

Mei Weisi raised her head, her teary eyes looking at the dark night sky outside the window, and the voices and smiles of her grandmother and parents appeared in her mind. Her heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.

Footsteps approached hastily.

Mei Weisi suddenly woke up, wiped away the tears on her face, and looked towards the door.

"I didn't expect our princess to cry too. How rare!" Li Xi's sarcastic voice sounded.

Mei Weisi was startled and turned to see Li Xi leaning against the wall, sneering at her.

"Why are you here?" Mei Weisi asked, a trace of panic on her face.

"Of course, I'm here to discuss the next plan with you," Li Xi shrugged and said, "We can't just sit here and wait for the queen to come. If the queen meets an unfortunate end, we will have no hope of reclaiming the Crimson Empire."

"We'll wait here for three days. If there is no news in three days, we'll go out and search," Mei Weisi said after a moment of silence.

"Sounds like the only option," Li Xi nodded in agreement.

"Sister, Mei Weisi, the room is ready. Let's rest," Xue Youyue's voice came from the staircase, followed by her descent.

"Okay," Mei Weisi replied and stood up.

The three of them entered the room to rest. As the bed was not big enough, Mei Weisi chose to sleep on the sofa, while Li Xi and Xue Youyue slept on the bed.

Li Xi took off her coat, got into bed, and appeared lazy with her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep.

Xue Youyue looked at her and sighed softly before getting into bed and closing her eyes, entering dreamland.

Mei Weisi tossed and turned on the sofa, feeling extremely restless and unable to fall asleep.

For some reason, a sense of unease lingered in Mei Weisi's mind, causing her heart to race faster and faster.

Her eyelids grew heavy, and she felt more and more tired, but Mei Weisi still resisted, unable to close her eyes.

"Why am I so tired?" Mei Weisi wondered. She had rested enough, why was she still sleepy? Could it be the sleeping gas?

This type of sleeping gas was colorless and odorless, making it difficult to detect. It was used to incapacitate enemy forces.

"Li Xi..." Before Mei Weisi could finish her sentence, a woman in a leather jacket covered her mouth.

"Princess, don't wake the guards on both sides," the woman's voice was extremely charming, with a hint of seductiveness.

"Mm... mm..." Mei Weisi struggled.

Having inhaled too much sleeping gas, Mei Weisi was no match for the woman in the leather jacket. She quickly lost strength and fainted.

"Lock them both in the dungeon," the woman in the leather jacket pointed at Li Xi and Xue Youyue on the bed.

"As for Mei Weisi, tie her hands and feet and bring her to my room," the woman in the leather jacket instructed her guards.

"Yes, Your Highness," the guard bowed and complied.

The woman in the leather jacket was Elena, the eldest daughter of Emperor Victor of the Crimson Empire. She had long, red curly hair, distinct facial features, deep eyes, a high nose bridge, thin and vibrant lips, and exuded a sense of wildness.

She used to be Mei Weisi's deskmate at the Red Moon Academy, and they were close friends with a good relationship.

As time went on, Elena gradually developed feelings of admiration for her friend. Once Mei Weisi sensed this affection, she left the Red Moon Academy and came to the Heavenly Capital Academy in the White Stork Empire.

Mei Weisi didn't want to change her friend's sexual orientation, so she left the Red Moon Academy, something Elena was not aware of.

Since then, Elena had not seen Mei Weisi again, and her admiration had turned into resentment.

She believed that Mei Weisi deliberately avoided her, fearing acquaintance with her, and that was why she chose to escape.

This time, Mei Weisi had fallen into her hands, and Elena decided to punish her and make her realize the cost of leaving her.

Afterward, Elena signed her name on the release order and threw it to the maid beside her, saying, "I am a person of integrity. Use it to redeem your parents from the vampire dungeon."

Then she gave Candace a storage ring and said, "Without you, I would not have known about this castle. Consider the money inside as your reward for your hard work."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Candace quickly knelt down and bowed her head, tears of humiliation filling her eyes. She had betrayed the Cecilia Royal Family, and if she didn't do this, her parents would have been executed. Candace had no other choice.

With the storage ring in hand, Candace ran to the vampire dungeon.

...

The next day, early in the morning, the sun rose in the east.

The orange light streamed through the window into the room.

Mei Weisi woke up from a deep sleep, her forehead sweaty, her body trembling, and her breathing heavy. It was evident that she had experienced a significant shock the night before.

Mei Weisi opened her eyes and scanned the surroundings, realizing that she was lying on a bed with a picture of her and Elena hanging on the wall.

She struggled repeatedly, but her hands and feet were bound to the bed by magic restraints, rendering her immobile and unable to even use magic.

Her mouth was gagged, and she could only make muffled sounds.

"Ah, my dear friend, you finally woke up," Elena walked into the room wearing a black leather jacket and high heels.

Mei Weisi saw her and a flash of anger passed through her eyes. Unable to speak due to the gag, she could only make muffled sounds.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you still have that stubborn look in your eyes," Elena smiled and walked closer to the bed, squatting down and holding Mei Weisi's chin, she smiled and said, "So, are you scared?"

Mei Weisi glared at Elena in fury.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you really have such a strong personality. No wonder you're my favorite person," Elena said, releasing the gag. "How about it? The white wedding dress on your body was specially prepared for you by me. Do you like it?"

From the corner of her eye, Mei Weisi caught a glimpse of several white roses embroidered on her chest. A waistband with inset diamonds wrapped around her waist, and white stockings tightly hugged her slender and fair legs, making her look like a beautiful girl from a fairy tale, captivatingly beautiful.

There was a silver chain around her ankle, resembling a silver star, adding to her mystique and beauty.

"How did this dress end up on me?" Mei Weisi gritted her teeth.

"Of course, as your loyal friend, I personally put it on you and gave you a bath," Elena laughed. "You know, you're my favorite person. How could I let others touch your body?"

Mei Weisi felt a shiver down her spine upon hearing this.

"What do you really want?" Mei Weisi asked angrily.

"Hehe... What ulterior motive could I possibly have? Of course, I want to be with you forever," Elena said, sitting on the edge of the bed, gently touching Mei Weisi's hair and softly saying, "You know, Mei Weisi, I really like you. When you left without saying goodbye, it hurt me for a long time. I also tried to find you many times, but to no avail."

"Fortunately, fate has favored me, allowing me to meet you again. This time, I won't let you leave me. You are destined to be mine, and no one can take you away," Elena held Meiweis's hand and said seriously.

"Yuck!" Meiweis spat fiercely. She couldn't stand Elena's disgusting behavior.

"The saliva of a lover is delicious," Elena slid the saliva on her face into her mouth with her hand, then licked her lips, looking intoxicated.

"You disgust me," Meiweis wrinkled her brows in disgust and tried to break free from the restraints.

Her hands were tied tightly, and she couldn't exert any strength.

"Disgusting? Are you referring to eating the saliva of a lover?"

"I don't think eating the saliva of a lover is disgusting. It should be called deep love," Elena said, suddenly leaning close to Meiweis's ear and whispering softly, "As long as you are willing to be my wife, I will cherish and care for you."

"Get lost!" Meiweis exclaimed angrily.

"Tsk tsk, you're not obedient. Since that's the case, I'll have to make you suffer a little."
