Dracula kiss

He first saw him on a warm spring afternoon.

That year, he was nine years old.

Under the leadership of his father, he came to the beautiful manor.There are countless flowers and plants planted outside the manor. Those artificially cultivated flowers bloom all year round, and the most common ones are clusters of purple flowers. The petals fall in the wind like drizzle.

The attendant who led the way told him that it was a lilac flower.And because of this sea of ​​lilac flowers, this manor is also called Lilac Manor.

Even with the protective cover on, his father still felt unaccustomed to the sunlight. His father didn't want to stay outside for too long, but at that time he was only a child, and he couldn't sit still after staying inside for a while.During his father's meeting with the marshal, he slipped out under the watchful eye of the squire.

He came to the outside of the manor, where there were luxuriant flowers. Looking back many years later, it was probably the most charming place he had seen in his life.However, at that time, he didn't know how to appreciate these fragile beauties. When he wanted to pick off a blooming flower, a hand suddenly stopped him.

Those hands were very fair, with well-defined joints, but very powerful.

He turned his head suddenly and fell into those eyes.This is the deepest eye color he has ever seen, different from the blood race or other human beings.They seem to have no temperature, as deep as a black ice pool.Immediately afterwards, the boy spoke——

Who is he?

His voice was as expected, with a calmness and calmness that did not match his age.He asked the attendant who was catching up behind him.

The attendant bowed down respectfully, and even the young him could hear his cautiousness at the moment.

To report back to Your Excellency, he is the son of Admiral Morey.

When the attendant introduced him, he could keenly sense the gaze of the young man in front of him darting away from him.He heard him say something in a clear tone—the illegitimate child. (Thebastard)

There was no ups and downs in that voice, as if it was just stating a simple fact.This is also true.

This was the first time he felt ashamed of his parentage.

Five years later, he came to the manor again.

The sea of ​​lilac flowers has been like a day for ten years, but this time with him, there are only father's relics.

The Lilac Manor has become the private property of the Marshal's son, who moved out of the Marshal's Mansion when he was 15 years old, and lived in this place until he had his own General's Mansion.

At this time, Xiao Tian was no longer an ignorant boy.

It took him a few years to clarify his origins, and if it weren't for the excellent genetic test results, he should not have appeared in this place as a blemish.Because of that unspeakable reason, the relationship between him and his father has gradually become estranged, and until now, he still doesn't have much sense of reality about his father's death.

If you are unwilling to take you in, according to regulations, you will be sent to the Human Rights Protection Association. ——Father's confidant told him so.Obviously, they didn't want to see such a situation. Although the place wasn't bad, it meant that before he reached adulthood, his personal freedom would be restricted, and he would have no shelter if he had no relatives.

Before entering the door, the cronies squeezed his shoulders and gave him an encouraging smile.Although he also thought in his heart that Xiao Zhen would never tolerate the existence of an insulting person by his side.

The door opened slowly.

After many years, he met the boy again.

The boy was sitting on a dark sofa, his slender legs wrapped in black military trousers, his figure was elegant and calm, the cold moonlight behind him was like a silver curtain covering his figure, and the surroundings were filled with a faint fragrance, It was the scent of lilacs.

When those eyes came, he lowered his eyes subconsciously, and silently clenched his fingers.

you can go now.

The boy said to the blood clan who brought him.And he stayed on.

After that, he entered the military academy under Xiao's guarantee, and it is said that this was also his father's wish.

It was not a comfortable place, there were distinct classes, and humans did not have any privileges, and perhaps because they were humans, their training intensity was stricter than that of blood races of the same level.Compared with other human beings, he is not young anymore. Even if his talent is superior, which of the human beings who stepped into this place has a talent beyond ordinary human beings?

During climbing practice, he fell again.Others have climbed over the high wall and moved on to the next level, but he still stays where he is.

In the shooting range, facing the fast-moving target, he felt flustered, and when the final whistle sounded, he became the fastest eliminated member of the group.

When the instructor handed him his grades, he said: If you are sent to the front line, you will only become fodder for mutants.

As a special student, his level is really appalling.He even heard the instructor's hint that because of Xiao Shi, there was nothing they could do about him, but he was destined to do nothing if this went on.

——He is not reconciled!

Since they have the same talent, he just lost at the starting point.That being the case, he spent twice, no, several times more time than them!

When training was over and everyone went back, he was the only one left.Every day, he arrived at the training ground before dawn and did not leave until the moon rose.He enriches himself with huge readings, and sleep for two to three hours a day has become a luxury. When he is most mentally stressed, he can keep his eyes closed for three days.

The hard work is not without rewards, and the results are obvious.His grades have risen rapidly, and his progress can be said to be rapid.In just one semester, he progressed from the bottom all the way to the top ten in his grade, and his classmates who used to sneer at him also looked at him with admiration.However, even so, he never got a comment from that person, let alone appreciation, even if they lived under the same roof, the number of times he met his eyes was only a handful.

He loathes him.There was no doubt in his heart about it.

But the performance that made him complacent, was completely shattered when he observed the record of that person's battle.

Their births were more than 600 days apart, but the difference in strength seemed to be separated by a huge gap.The boy stood in front of the console like a god.It was a desperate battle, and he was so calm that his enemies shuddered.

When he realized the distance between them, he felt an unprecedented loss.

Later, when he returned to the training ground, he was surprised to hear some harsh words—they were laughing at him.They called him a wild breed.

He clashed with those guys, one to five, and three of them were even vampires.He removed the arm of one of them, cut off the ear of a Kindred, and the others got nothing.Because of this, he was punished severely.

After five days of confinement, he was in the dark, without drinking water, and could only rely on willpower to survive until the limit of what the human body could achieve.When he was released, he still refused to admit his mistakes.

When he returned to the manor, the attendant told him that Your Excellency wanted to see him.

This is the first time that person has summoned him since he lived here for two years.

He came to the dreamlike garden, where the man stood under the dazzling sunlight.Just like Chen Xing, who is destined to shine, everyone's eyes must follow him closely, but after all, they can't leave a single trace in those eyes.

He lowered his eyes.

The hand that once held him was fiddled with the branches and leaves, and the blooming flowers seemed to be vying for his favor, lingering between his fingers.

He hesitated for a moment, and walked up to him.stand still.

In the blink of an eye, he felt his legs being scratched by something, causing his knees to bend straight down, and his forehead was so painful that cold sweat broke out instantly.

A slender object pressed against his jaw, forcing him to look up.It was a branch of a lilac tree.

Those black eyes looked down at him.

Your Mightiness……

He uttered a broken syllable in a daze.At the same time, the sharp branch slapped his face, the speed of that gust of wind caused the originally innocuous thing to leave a hideous red mark on his face.

Next, Your Excellency did not give him any chance to explain, the merciless whipping rained down, and the sound of air friction was shocking.Every blow he hit hit the most sensitive and fragile nerves, and the slender branches left burning marks on his body.

Under that cold gaze, he gritted his teeth and gave up all opportunities to defend himself.

The flying purple petals, the waving branches, the strong floral fragrance mixed with the smell of blood are his last and only memories.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the bed.

He smelled the fragrance of flowers that lingered around all the time, and at the first glance, he saw the person sitting on the sofa opposite.

Seeing him wake up, Xiao Zhen closed the book and stood up.

He didn't drink a drop of water for several days, which made him lose consciousness during the punishment.When he was in a coma, that person canceled all the trips and stayed by his bedside.

Just before he pulled away to leave, he hesitated to make a sound.

Because... am I an illegitimate child?

The figure stopped.The sunlight casts long and narrow shadows behind him.

——As a soldier, the most basic principle is to obey orders.

—You are a soldier first.

His reflection in black eyes—and then, my brother.

Until that person left, he slowly looked towards the bed, where lilac petals were drooping.He didn't like these fragile things at first, and he couldn't understand that person's love for these lives before.

But from then on, as long as he smells the empty fragrance, he can always think of the figure in the sea of ​​flowers and the pain he inflicted on him...

"Your Mightiness."

The adjutant called softly behind him.

The old man opened his eyes, he stood up, and dragged his large cloak on the ground, the moonlight was still cold tonight.The purple flowers by the window bloom under the moon, exuding a delicate fragrance.

"Your Excellency, everything is ready."—Hidden under this dark fragrance is the smoke of the flames of war.

The old man brushed the clusters of purple flowers with wrinkled palms as if he had never heard of it.He asked, "Do you know the flower language of lilac?"

The adjutant hesitated.Obviously, he was not familiar with these ancient species.

The gray pupils moved away, "—the unquenchable brilliance."

And, the sting of first love.
