Chapter 477 - DRACULA’S CASTLE (1/2)
The castle at the top of the hill had an imposing and oppressive beauty to it. However, Hu Lei could not appreciate the appeal from the foot. She was overwhelmed by the snow covering the entirety of the simple locale in Romania.
When she was in Antarctica, she did not see the ice covering all the corners of the continent. However, the sight of snow would always cause her to feel low. She would involuntarily sink into those dark memories.
She looked through the window of the rental car to the castle again. She wondered about the person living in that place. He had so much power, enough to shake the core of the world. Yet, he secluded himself in a castle on a hill in rural Romania.
”We are walking the rest of the way.” Frank turned from the driver's seat and looked at the couple with a twinkle in his eyes.
Hu Lei looked at the distance and the snow. She looked at Zhong Feng with watery eyes. She looked like a helpless little bunny, pleading for help. Zhong Feng lifted his hand and patted her hat-covered head with affection.
”Don't worry. I will carry you.” He said.
Hu Lei immediately beamed. ”You are the best, Ah-Feng.”
She did not want to walk up the hill because of the cold. Furthermore, she was having some stomach cramps. The pain was not significant to her, but she did not want the problem to escalate. Therefore, the best solution was for Zhong Feng to carry her.
Frank looked at them with unconcealed annoyance before getting out of the car.
The walk up the hill was not as long as Hu Lei thought. The road was a little treacherous, especially because of the thick carpet of undisturbed snow. However, both Frank and Zhong Feng had a steady footing.
Within half an hour, the three people reached the imposing gate. Frank placed their luggage on the ground and opened the gate. He was a little disgruntled through the journey because he had to carry all the bags.
Zhong Feng passed through the gate with Hu Lei still on his back. He did not care about the sulking man looking at them with envy.
”Is this Dracula's castle?” Hu Lei said with awe.
”Actually, Dracula's castle refers to Bran Castle,” Frank responded as he closed the gate.
Hu Lei rolled her eyes, though no one could see. ”I suppose next you are going to mention that even though Bran Castle is commonly called Dracula's castle, Vlad the Impaler never stepped in it.”
Frank laughed. ”You are quite erudite yourself.”
Hu Lei snorted, but she did not dignify the statement with a response. She did not want to be ȧssociated with the show-off. She just wanted to put him down and let him know that he was not the only one who knew random useless facts.
