Chapter 2264 - 1133: Punishment of the Thirteen Clans (Part 2)

Chapter 2264: Chapter 1133: Punishment of the Thirteen Clans (Part 2)

Although she still can’t casually treat the mighty person in front of her as a little sis to boss around, at least the initial awkwardness between them has lessened a bit.

Koreya also sensed this change, and she smiled happily at it.

The long years haven’t turned her youthful heart to weariness again, but they have given her the experience a senior should have. So she wasn’t as eager as a true young girl for recognition, hoping that Lady Dorothy would immediately get close to her as in her dreams. She chose to savor the moment, knowing the days ahead are long, and she could ultimately win the spirit back.

"My Lady, you’ve come to the Torture Department for the Thirteen Vampire Clan Families, haven’t you?"

She glanced at the little witch behind the house witch, and appropriately changed the topic.

"Mmm, indeed, after all, it’s been a while. I’m here to see how the judgment is going."

Upon hearing this, Dorothy couldn’t focus on her complex feelings anymore; she suppressed her odd feeling and prioritized serious matters.

"The Dracula Family should theoretically be released, right? Has something unexpected happened?"

She asked with some concern.

In response, Koreya nodded a little troubled.

"Yes, actually Count Dracula and her two daughters could have left a long time ago, but they refuse to leave. After all, we’ve been old acquaintances for many years, and it’s indeed bothersome how to handle this. Fortunately, now that you’re here, I believe with your wisdom and fairness, you can perfectly deliver an appropriate judgment."

Dorothy: "....."

Seriously? Are there folks in the Torture Department who don’t want to leave?

A series of question marks popped up above her head; she was puzzled by what the ancestor and those two aunts were thinking.

"My Lady, come with me, I will lead you to meet them first."

The Black Sheep Sage said without further explanation; it was a bit hard to explain, so she simply took the lead.

Dorothy and Alice exchanged a glance and then followed her.

The three continued further into the Torture Department, eventually stopping at an interrogation room door that looked quite high-level; Koreya stepped ahead and opened the door directly.

The house witch took a deep breath at the door, mentally preparing herself before walking in, and mindfully covered Alice’s eyes with a hand.

She had entered the interrogation room before, even personally experienced being a torturer, and naturally knew there were inappropriate things for a little witch to see here.

Thankfully, upon entering the room, she found it surprisingly cozy.

Well, the room not only lacked any frightening torture devices but was structured like a three-bedroom, two-living-room suite. Although the decor was simple, merely meeting basic living needs, consider it was actually a prison rather than a hotel; the setup seemed overly luxurious, almost presidential suite standard.

In the living room, Dorothy and Alice finally reunited with Ancestor Dracula, along with aunts Camilla and Elizabeth.

However, the three were clearly caught off guard by the arrival of their nieces.

At first, Dracula only noticed the door being opened by Koreya, and she felt a moment of joy.

She had tried multiple times to communicate with her former colleague during this period, but the other party truly couldn’t help, leading her to avoid further attempts. Yet seeing her approach today, maybe it’s a change of heart?

"Koreya, you finally agreed to see me. I don’t dare hope you plead for clemency on their behalf, just that you might allow us to share a part of their penalties. You know, my sisters’ state has really worn out to the end; they’d face certain death upon leaving the coffin, you know."

Appearing youthful like a loli, the Vampire Sorceress Grand Duke hurried forward, tearfully pleading her former colleague to show lenience.

However, suddenly she noticed something unusual, and was shocked as she looked at her old friend.

"Uh, Koreya, how did you become so young?"

Hmm, Dracula distinctly remembered her old friend had always looked like a kindhearted grandmother, who is this beauty now?

If not for the unchanging Magic Power pressure and vibe of the Black Sheep Sage before her, lacking any sense of Illusion Technique, she would’ve thought someone impersonated her old friend.

However, the witch’s appearance generally reflects the degree of inner wear and tear, and wear is not something easily remedied. Hence forcibly restoring a youthful appearance through Magic isn’t difficult, but truly becoming young again is not easy.

Koreya: "..."

The Black Sheep Sage gazed at the vampire elder before her....

Indeed, counting their ages, Dracula is significantly older than her, even old enough to be her senior; after all, when she was still a child, this Vampire Grand Duke was already one of the managers of the City of Sin back then.

In fact, not only Dracula, even Camilla or Elizabeth by her side are somewhat older than her.

However, once everyone became witches, these past relationships stopped being mentioned, as they all became sisters under primeval witch.

Koreya, as the Demon Witch, shared a good rapport with the Thirteen Vampire Clan Families during the God King Era when Demon Witches were scarce and marginalized. Sadly, with the worsening state of Thirteen Vampire Clans, the Dukes grew increasingly deranged from wear, cooling relations between the two sides.

Nevertheless, her friendship with Dracula remained solid because this Grand Duke stayed mentally young (detached), being the only Duke barely affected by wear.

Only, Dracula, due to the Vampire Clan Witch lacking True Ancestor’s Blood, hasn’t upgraded to Sage, hence she can’t perceive the changes of Witch’s Night.

And Koreya can’t just tell this elder, essentially, my elderly appearance was always a facade to maintain the plot’s unchangeable nature, but with Lady Dorothy back now starting anew with timelines flowing again, I don’t need to disguise and naturally restored my youth.

Luckily, she didn’t have to explain because Dracula quickly noticed the sisters behind her.

"Dorothy, Alice, is it you? How are you here?"

Although both were styling as Judges at the moment, the identity of the Clown Grand Inquisitor was widely known, so Dracula naturally recognized her expensive granddaughter, and as for Little Bun.....

Well, the little witch’s disguise couldn’t fool Dracula, the Grand Duke of the Vampire Clan could directly sense the Dead River aura on this granddaughter.

That is a unique ability for their Dracula Family too recognizable.

Yet Dorothy did not immediately answer the loli grandmother’s query; she had heard the elder’s request to Koreya upon entering, which made her frown slightly.

Ah, indeed, the grandmother still can’t be ruthless towards other clan families, huh.

She sighed inwardly.

The other clans’ collusion with the Abyss was already irrefutably criminal, with no absolution possible. Since they’re in the Judgment Court now, unless the Third King speaks forgiveness, no one else can pardon them.

Oh, maybe I truly can.

However, Dorothy wasn’t actually planning to pardon those clans.

The law doesn’t accommodate personal feelings. She, now as one of the four giants of the Judgment Court, couldn’t condone personal favoritism or corruption, otherwise how would she compel respect in the future.

When wrongdoing happens, punishment is due, that’s natural law.

Luckily, the grandmother is sensible, not intending to plead for other clans but merely hoping to absorb part of the penalty inflicted upon her sisters immersed in madness.

"Koreya, what’s the verdict for those clans?"

Dorothy pondered before asking.

"Rebelliousness warrants death, that’s the rule. But the Thirteen Vampire Clan Families are, after all, descendants of distinguished contributors to the establishment of Witch World, with undeniable strength. Instant execution seems wasteful, so the final judgment is frontline conscription."

"They either earn achievements sufficient to mitigate punishment and regain freedom through service or perish directly on the frontline, being stripped of resurrection rights post-death, ultimately wiped of consciousness with souls cast into reincarnation."

Koreya answered with frankness.

Dorothy: "...."

Good grief, they intend to send the Vampire Sorceresses to the frontline to serve as disposable grunts.

Yet I happen to precisely need a batch of disposable grunts at present.

Tsk, odd, why is it so coincidental?

The house witch was initially quite pleased, but suddenly became vigilant with furrowed brows.

Dang it, she could again sense the stench of arrangements.

...house witch on guard.....
