Chapter 297: Elias Wants to Be in the Same Room as Catharina?
Previously…
Nora discovers that the elders set her up, making her daughter Lenore engaged to Clan Mimi Flanmi.
What everyone thought was a lapse of anger caused Nora to kill all the elders who conspired and betrayed her and then went to Clan Mimi Flanmi and kill them all.
After Lenore discovered this, she was very worried, Luan helped her calm down, and with his help, they created a formation around Clan Van Staffan.
.

Currently…
Nora was traveling towards her clan with the members of the clan that followed her to destroy Clan Mimi Flanmi.
As he approached, she noticed the barrier around the clan, a smile forming on her pretty face. ‘Luan…’ She muttered his name as she smiled.
The barrier patterns were quite sophisticated, and Nora, who spent a lot of time with him, knew the pattern of spells, formation, etc. Which he knew how to do.
Of course, even without that, you could see Leviathan above Clan Van Staffan floating.
“Look, it’s the Matriarch and the rest. They are back!” Someone in the crowd in the clan square shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.
“Matriarch!” High-pitched screams were heard.
“Sigh~” Lenore could finally breathe easier as she saw her mother arrive.
Luan understood that even without her speaking, he hugged her, and, although surprised, Lenore returned the hug, feeling safe in her father’s hug. It was a feeling she longed for, and finally, she could have it.
Very quickly, Nora got in front of them.
Lenore stopped hugging Luan and went to hug Nora. “I’m glad that you are well.” She said in a sweet voice.
“Silly girl, how could I not be okay?” Nora gave a relaxed little giggle. She did what she did because she was confident in her strength.
Meanwhile, the clan began to celebrate the arrival of Nora and the rest. Their applause and cheers and whistles were thunderous, to the point of drawing the attention of Clan Van Steffan’s closest neighbors.

In Nora’s mansion.
Lenore, who was sitting in the chair next to Nora, took Nora’s hand, then her lips trembled a little before she asked, “Mom… Why did you do that?”
“That, you mean killing the elders? Or exterminate Clan Mimi Flanmi?” Nora had a mysterious smile when she responded with a question.
“Both,” Lenore replied bluntly.
“Tsk, so boring~” Nora laughed, then she said, “You tell me. Do you think I had full control of the clan?”
Lenore was contemplative, and after thinking for a few seconds, she shook her head, “No, I don’t think so.”
“You’re right, I didn’t actually have any part of half of what was decided .” Nora said coolly: “They thought they could keep playing me like a puppet; I’m strong, yes, but I’m not brainless, I knew from the beginning that they only chose me as Matriarch because of my strength, and since I wanted to use the clan’s resources to find your father, I accepted, but now that he’s here, the moment they made an arranged marriage with you and Clan Mimi Flanmi…”
Lenore has already guessed the rest, “You’ve decided to take this chance and get rid of the weeds.”
“Hehe, as expected from my daughter.” Nora laughed proudly, “Exactly, I took advantage and killed them, so now there’s no one in the clan who can oppose us.” She looks at Luan.
Ingrid’s thoughtful eyes landed on Nora as she then commented, “I think there may be other vampires in your clan who have guessed why you were doing all this.”
“Of course, several of them, actually.” Nora looked at her with a small smile as she said, “Many of them lived a long time, they knew it at the same time, but they chose to pretend not to. Do you know why?”
Ingrid didn’t even have to think and immediately said, “Because you’re strong, strong enough to let them feel safe and, at the same time, afraid to offend you.”
“Yes, you’re right. I expected no less from the woman Luan chose.” Nora couldn’t hide her jealousy of Ingrid when she looked at her, but then she smiled, “Changing the subject, you can stay here at my house, of course, Luan too.” She looked at him.
Luan looked at Ingrid, and, seeing her nod, he nodded back to Nora, “Yes, but let’s leave tomorrow. I still want to see if one of my hiding places isn’t found since it’s too close to your clan after all.”
“About this.” Nora took something from her storage ring.
Luan’s eyes were puzzled as he looked at what Nora held.
Nora continued to smile as she placed a golden key on the table, “I protected your hiding place. It’s still intact, I haven’t opened it myself since you disappeared.”
Taking the golden key, Luan knew it was a key made to give access to a very elaborate created area.
“Why…” Luan swallowed what he was going to ask, then smiled a little and thanked him: “Thank you, with this, I’ll be able to get closer to the Sixth Order instead of being a False Emperor.”
Nora’s red lips curved into a teasing smile, “Well, even if you are a False Emperor, I doubt there are many Emperors capable of going against you.”
“You flatter me too much, I can have some confidence, but I still need to rely on tricks to be victorious. If possible, I don’t want to use tricks to win.” Luan said.

Back in the City of Flowers, the culprit who killed the City Patriarch’s daughter has yet to be found.
At the inn that Catharina and the rest were in, they ate while they waited for it to be sorted out soon, but something told them it wouldn’t be that simple.
Someone entered the inn, “Shocking news, another woman has been killed!”
“But what?” Elias and the rest stopped eating.
“Another woman…” Elias murmured, “Apart from the princess, were other women killed?”
The man took a deep breath and then heard what Elias muttered and said, “Yes, in addition to the princess, 3 young women between 20 and 30 years old were killed!”
Elias’ eyes sharpened, and he glanced at Catharina and the Elite Squad girls. If there was a killer who was after young women, he couldn’t let his guard down. ‘I promised to protect her! Also…’
Elias said, “We better stay together.”
“Are you wanting to sleep with me?” Catharina asked provocatively in an ambiguous way.
“Yeah, I mean…” Elias fumbled, “Me, us, we’re all in the same room, so the killer can’t go after you girls.”
“Oh, it’s too bad~” Catharina continued to tease since she liked the way Elias’ face turned red, especially in front of Elite Squad.
The girls laughed a little.
The boys sympathize with Elias, but even sympathizing, they laugh at his disgrace.
“But we can’t stay in the same room, we are too many.” Maihara Costa threw a bucket of cold water.
“About that…” Elias looked thoughtful.
“Sir…” The inn owner overheard their conversation and proposed, “I have a house for rent, I won’t be a hypocrite, I’ll charge twice the normal daily rate since we are in this situation. The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a living room and a kitchen. The room is 10 cubic meters, it should be enough for you to stay together.”
Elias did not hesitate, “I will accept.”
The girls’ safety was more important at that time. There was no need for him to worry about paying double, he was even willing to pay triple. Of course, he wouldn’t say that.
