The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

"Then?"

Leon pressed for an answer.

"Because the gatekeeper wouldn't let me in, I climbed over the wall and got into a fight with them. Her new boyfriend was very arrogant, and seemed to be a nobleman. He called over four other lackeys and tried to kick me out. How could I stand this humiliation? I didn't think too much at the time, grabbed a rock, rushed up, grabbed that bastard, and started beating him up. I lost control and ended up in jail."

When the man got to this point, he seemed like a deflated balloon. His cigarette was almost finished, with only a short ember remaining.

"Later, while I was in prison, she came to break up with me. She said she was now a college student at a top-tier university, while I was just a construction worker. Our educational levels were completely different, and she deserved a brighter future. With my meager amount of money, why should I tie her down for life?"

This……

Leon didn't know what to say.

Tragic, the man in front of me is truly pitiful.

Indeed, women are all troublesome things.

After a few seconds of silence, just as Leon was about to say something, a melodious tune suddenly rang out from the depths of the dark forest.

The melody is like a tranquil and beautiful serenade, making one want to immerse oneself in it.

During the music, Leon felt his body becoming increasingly weak and powerless.

The other prisoners around him fell silent. The terrified screams and sorrowful sobs all disappeared. Leon watched as the people around him fell to the ground one by one, motionless. He immediately realized that it was because of this piece of music.

Leon then bit his lower lip hard, using the brief pain to keep himself awake, and quickly covered his ears.

But the music seemed to flow directly from my mind, and plugging my ears was completely useless.

At this moment, the older brother, who had just recounted to Leon his tragic experience of being betrayed by a heartless woman, also collapsed.

Oh no, I'm so sleepy.

Is this all going to be lost?

Leon couldn't hold on for long and eventually fell into a deep sleep.

ps:

I genuinely like the man in Chapter 3.

After being hypnotized, Leon slept very soundly.

This might be a good thing for Leon.

Since transmigrating to this world, he, who had never suffered from insomnia before, has been unable to sleep well almost every day due to various worries.

This forced hypnosis actually made Leon sleep soundly for a long time.

Therefore, when Leon woke up from deep sleep, he felt energetic and refreshed, but... he felt a little uncomfortable, especially stiff and sore.

He tried to stretch as usual, but found that he couldn't move his hands and feet at all, and he couldn't open his mouth either, only able to make soft whimpering sounds.

It was only then that Leon finally noticed that his hands and feet were tightly bound with thick ropes, and his mouth was sealed shut with tape.

Am I being kidnapped?

Where is this place?

Leon tried to remain calm and then began to observe his surroundings with composure.

This was a rather small, secluded room with a luxurious marble floor. Judging from the surface structure of the beams and columns, based on my knowledge of Western architecture, this was the structure of an early Gothic castle. In this day and age, being able to live in such a palatial house suggests that the owner of this secluded room must have been of considerable status.

The room was very stuffy, with no windows and no light; the only source of illumination was a dim oil lamp on the wall not far away.

In the four corners of the ceiling, there are several pairs of eyes emitting a blood-red glow; it's not hard to tell that these are bats hanging upside down on the wall.

Dark red primeval forest

Castle,

bat,

……

All the details quickly came together in Leon's mind, and soon he had an answer in his heart.

I've... wandered into vampire territory!

According to my memory from the original anime, if I remember correctly, the vampires and elves in this world seem to be a matriarchal society!

Oh no! I'm probably going to get punished by feminists.

Leon looked around in a panic. There were other people lying around him, all wearing the same prison uniforms of the Fchester Empire as Leon. They were tightly bound with ropes and their mouths were taped shut. It seemed that they were all forced laborers who had been kicked in by the bandits.

Perhaps it is because among these prisoners, only Leon is an extraordinary being. Since extraordinary beings are physically stronger than ordinary people, only Leon has awakened so far.

Leon tried to activate his spirituality, but without exception, his spirituality was restricted, seemingly blocked by some powerful figure.

It seems impossible to break free of the restraints using extraordinary strength; in that case, physical methods will have to be used.

After observing for a while, Leon realized that burning the rope with an oil lamp was the most feasible method.

However, the oil lamp was hung a bit high. Leon leaned against the wall to stand up, but he was just a hair's breadth away from reaching it. If someone could help him, it wouldn't be a problem.

I need to find someone trustworthy to help me.

In the dim light, Leon quickly recognized the man who had charged forward for love. He tried to move his body to the man's side and wake him up, but at that moment, footsteps came from the doorway.

Oops!

Leon jolted awake, then rolled back into the crowd, continuing to play dead, his eyes tightly shut, motionless as if he had never woken up.

The sound of a key turning in the lock was heard, followed by the creaking sound of the door opening.

Next came the sound of leather shoes stepping on the marble floor; it must have been a man who entered.

Following the sound of leather shoes came an even sharper treading sound. Leon's ears were pressed against the cool marble floor, so he could hear the sounds coming from the floor very clearly. Based on past experience, Leon could confirm that it was the sound of a woman's high heels hitting the floor, so he could conclude that a woman was following the man in.

"Your Excellency, a group of humans were discovered near the castle, teleported in by sacrificial magic. It is estimated that they were sent in by the lady's fanatical followers, who thought that you needed to drink human blood for your coming-of-age ceremony. So our warriors captured them all."

The one who spoke was a long, thin, refined male voice. He wasn't speaking Festering, nor any other language, but the language of the vampires. This language could be called the vampire language, but the vampires themselves called it "Night Talk."

After hearing the man's words, especially the name Philippa, Leon's heart suddenly tightened.

Leon can understand vampire language. As a prince, he received an elite education from the Fchester royal family from a young age. In terms of languages, Leon can speak Night Script, Elven Script, Dragon Script, Beryl Script, Ancient Beryl Script, Ancient Fchester Script, Fchester Script, and the languages ​​of some other powerful human nations. Apart from his native language, although he cannot say he is proficient in the other languages, and cannot even write them, he can understand them with a sliver of understanding.

"These are all vulgar people, how could they be worthy of being my food? With my status, the first lucky person I would consume during my coming-of-age ceremony should at least be a young lady or gentleman from a top-tier noble family, or a high-ranking superhuman from the church. It is said that the blood of superhumans is more delicious than that of virgins."

A haughty, icy, yet melodious female voice rang out; it was a very girlish voice, soft and delicate.

It sounded nice, but her tone was full of malice. Moreover, Leon knew Philippa; in the original series, she was a complete "little fairy," a stunningly beautiful vampire girl with a cunning and ruthless personality.

The key word to describe her is "scheming".

In short, this woman is extremely wicked!

She has the appearance of an innocent angel, but in reality, she is a little devil full of evil intentions.

"Of course I know that you, Miss, would look down on these lowly and worthless humans, but I brought you here not just so that you could see these vulgar people. Please let me explain."

The man responded to Philippa slowly and deliberately.

"Among the humans sent into the Thorn Forest this time, most were from Fchester, and they seemed to be some lowly laborers sent to the frontier. Although their status was lowly, they were of very high quality."

As the man spoke, he began to move again, his footsteps growing closer and closer, giving Leon the illusion that he was coming straight for him.

However, Leon's bad luck hadn't been a recent thing, and he soon realized that this was no illusion at all; this guy was definitely after him.

“Miss, please look. He is a mithril-level human extraordinary being, and he has delicate skin and a fair complexion. He doesn’t seem like an ordinary human prisoner. He might be a bankrupt nobleman’s son.”

A pair of cold, emotionless hands grabbed Leon's chin, pulling out his handsome face that had been half-buried under someone else.

Leon kept his eyes closed, remaining calm and pretending to be asleep. Although he felt awkward, he was afraid that if he gave up pretending to be asleep now, he would die quickly.

He dared not open his eyes, but he could feel the girl's gaze roaming over him from the doorway.

"Hmm—what a handsome human!"

Philippa gently licked her luscious red lips. "It should be a very interesting toy, right? Dieter, you did a great job. I really like this guy."

Chapter Four Arrest

Philippa Cooper.

The only daughter of a vampire marquis.

One of the core members of Feng Aotian's harem in the original anime.

She belongs to the "scheming loli" type; she is a vicious and wicked woman.

He enjoys playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and is quite accomplished in music and poetry.

Like other vampires, she loves the night, the moon, bats, and shiny things, such as gemstones and agate.

In the original series, midway through the story, Helena was ambushed by the bounty hunters of Guberlan and escaped into the Thorn Forest with serious injuries. She accidentally entered the Cooper family's territory and was captured by the Cooper family's vampire warriors who were responsible for patrolling the territory every day. She was then taken back to the castle.

Inside the castle, Miss Cooper was immediately drawn to the exquisitely beautiful Helena. Instead of immediately drinking Helena's blood, she kept her by her side, taking a playful approach.

Later, Helena discovered that Philippa loved poetry and that she herself often wrote poetry.

Therefore, the quick-witted Helena had a brilliant idea.

She gave Philippa a copy of a poem written to her by a talented wandering poet she had met during her adventures. The poem was intended to praise her beauty.

And shamelessly, she lied to Philippa, saying that these were her own original poems! Inspired by the incredibly beautiful and charming Miss Philippa, she proceeded to shower Philippa with praise!

Subsequently, Philippa actually believed it. Because she admired Helena's talent, she initially wanted to take action but ultimately refrained from doing so, thus allowing Helena to successfully buy herself even more time.

During this time, Helena quietly recuperated from her injuries. Once her injuries had healed and she had returned to her peak condition, she easily slipped away by relying on the various overpowered skills she had stolen by "forcibly healing others."

This infuriated Philippa.

Philippa was furious on the first day without Helena by her side.

The day after Helena was not by her side, Philippa was extremely angry.

On the third day with Helena by her side, Philippa felt depressed.

On the fourth day without Helena by her side, Philippa was suddenly overcome with sadness.

On the fifth day with Helena by her side, Philippa felt inexplicably lonely.

Without Helena by her side... In the end, Philippa realized that she seemed to have fallen in love with Helena, this human. She felt like she was going crazy, so she secretly ran away from home to find Helena.

And so, relying on her magical aura of invincibility, Helena only had to recover from her injuries before easily defeating a top-tier vampire.

Quickly recalling the plot related to Philippa from the anime, Leon immediately found the right way to survive under the cunning Blood Princess's beautiful silver teeth.

First, her outstanding appearance successfully caught Philippa's eye.

In this respect, Leon felt that his experience was somewhat similar to Helena's in the anime.

However, the timeline is wrong. In the original series, Helena fell into Philippa's hands when she returned from her training in the Ice Plains, by which time Philippa was already an adult.

The current timeline is earlier; Helena hasn't even officially entered the Icefield yet, and Philippa is only seventeen years old, not even eighteen yet.

Therefore, everything that will happen is unknown, and with Leon's luck, it is naturally impossible to compare with that of Feng Aotian. Thus, copying Helena's survival method is simply a dead end for Leon.

Unlike Helena, who possesses formidable overall strength and can utilize a wide variety of skills, Leon's abilities are quite limited. In short, he possesses second-tier magic, basic combat skills, and the ability to control fire.

On modern Earth, this would be an invincible existence, but in a place where supernatural power is nothing new, he's just an incredibly weak guy.

Therefore, Leon could consider imitating Helena's survival methods, but the decision should be made based on how the situation develops and Philippa's current personality.

Let's observe for a while first.

Lying on the dark, cold marble floor, Leon struggled to think of a way to survive.

While it's said that dying beneath a peony is a romantic death, and Philippa is indeed a stunning beauty, would you really want to die at the feet of such a beautiful woman?

Are they out of their minds? That was just an old joke. If they didn't have to die, would they want to die? They would definitely get as far away from that crazy woman as possible.

"Hey, Fchester man, how long are you going to play dead like this?"

Philippa raised her high-heeled foot and gently nudged Leon's chest, who was lying on his side on the ground, with the tip of her shoe.

At this point, Leon had already been carried out of the secret room where he had woken up. As for where he was taken, Leon had no idea, because he was putting on a good show and pretending to be unconscious the whole time, and he didn't even open his eyes to see his surroundings.

Ok?

Playing dead?
