Palm Dragon

Are bats cuter?

I must be recovering from a serious injury, which has affected my hearing, Casey thought.

Adrian took a step back, he really felt a little itchy.

The big mocking look on the elf's face suddenly made Casey feel bored, so he sat back in the chair bored.

"Kathy ~ shall we go out together?" Adrian's eyes sparkled.

Although it doesn't look like a bat, Adrian is still very curious about the blood race.

So I can't help being enthusiastic about Casey.

They have been in the Holy Imperial Capital for three days, but because of the formalities of the house and the exhaustion of the journey, Adrian didn't go out to play at all except for the adventure in the garden and the stroll around the house.

Although Aini was 1 unwilling, she was pulled by Adrian to invite Casey to go out together.

Casey looked at him with her chin resting.

"I can't go out."

"why?"

"The blood clan that just finished the first embrace cannot see the light."

Xiaolong remembered that Mr. Noble had also said this word.

"What is a first hug?"

"First hug," Casey blinked her long eyelashes, and hooked her fingers at Adrian mysteriously.

"Wait." Aini held back Adrian, who wanted to get closer for the second time, his face was full of shock. "You just said... first embrace?"

Because all the attention was on the auction before, Aini ignored what Yisi said about Layton's treatment of Casey.

Aini didn't realize it until Casey mentioned it inadvertently.

Although she is an elf, Aini is not ignorant of the concept of first embrace.

But... "Who did you say gave you your first hug?"

Casey shrugged.

The elf had a greatly shocked expression on his face.

"Ed, you didn't mention that Butler Layton is also a vampire!" Only vampires have the word first embrace!

Adrian looked even more confused than Aini. "Butler Layton? Blood race?"

Aini no longer cared about Casey who was watching the fun, and held Xiaolong's shoulder and asked word by word: "Ed, what is Yisi's identity?"

"Iss?" Adrian still couldn't find an expression other than bewildered on his face.

"..." The elf took a deep breath, and dragged the puzzling little dragon out of the room.

Casey watched as the elf slammed the door angrily, and didn't turn her head until the sound of footsteps going downstairs disappeared.

Layton came in from the terrace outside the study.

"Is eavesdropping fun?" Kathy buttoned up his shirt.

"I didn't know they would come in." Layton put down the kettle in his hand, and the fresh dahlias were shaking gently on the terrace.

Leighton tightened his slightly loosened bow tie and added: "If you don't want to die again, don't do that behavior again."

Casey grinned, stood up and grabbed Layton's shoulders, and approached with his head sideways.

The butler remained motionless.

"That kind of behavior...referring to this?" Casey stuck out her tongue and lightly licked Layton's neck outside the stand-up collar.

The ambiguous tip of the tongue slid across the neck, and if there was a faint temptation, it was like a cat's tail sweeping back and forth on the tip of the heart.

"...Even if you have an extra pair of fangs, you are still no match for me."

Casey froze immediately, the back of her neck was pinched tightly.

The newly elongated fangs in the mouth were exposed to the air.

Layton let go of him expressionlessly.

"I think you should treat your father with more respect."

Casey's frivolous expression just now completely disappeared, and she glared at the butler who turned away.

"You think I'll admit that an old man of unknown origin is my father?"

Layton didn't stop turning the doorknob.

"Whether you admit it or not, my blood is flowing in your body now."

Looking at Layton who didn't look back, Casey threw himself into the chair weakly.

Even if Layton didn't explain it, he knew that what he just said had a follow-up.

Whether you admit it or not, what is flowing in your body now is my blood.Your last name is no longer McAvey.

Casey covered her eyes with her hands.

Adrian stared at Aini in a daze as he pushed him into the chair, and stepped on the low table to pose domineeringly for an interrogation.

Aini took a deep breath and organized his words.

"Do you know that Butler Layton is a vampire?"

Shaking his head.

"Has Iss ever mentioned to you his identity?"

Shaking his head.

"Then does he know your identity?" In fact, there is no need to ask.Annie thought bitterly.

The little idiot nodded.

"..." Aini put his feet down feebly.

"Ed, don't be so unsuspecting, okay?"

"En." Although he didn't quite understand, Aini's expression made Adrian feel that it would be better to agree.

"Huh? Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Eh..." Adrian could only shake his head. He wanted to get away with it, but Aini was really careful.

The elf felt that he needed smelling salts, otherwise he would faint.

"Ed." The elf looked at Adrian with the most serious expression he could put on. "Do you like Yisi?", originally seeing Yisi and Adrian's intimacy along the way, they must be a couple, but Adrian's ignorance of the "other half" made him feel the need to confirm.

"I like it." Without hesitation.

really. "Then how much do you know about Yisi?"

learn?

Adrian thought about it seriously.

Is also lives in Emerald Valley, but it is not known when he started living there.

Yisi said that he is neither a magician nor a swordsman, Yisi's manor is very beautiful, Yisi is beautiful, Yisi is very gentle, and there are many treasures in Yisi's manor.

"...what else?" The elf gritted his teeth.

"And his butler's cooking is great." Adrian looked at Aini with a "don't you like those desserts too?" expression.

"I mean, his identity, his age, his background, his past—!" The elf pinched Xiaolong's cheek, and every time he said a word, he became stronger.

"His butler is actually a vampire! Not a dwarf, not an elf, not a giant, not a monster (?)!" Aini increased his strength, hating iron and steel. "Those who use blood race as stewards must not be believers of the God of Light!"

"Ani, it hurts..."

Adrian felt as if a layer of chili oil had been applied to his cheeks.

The elf let go and grabbed Xiaolong's collar.

"As a lover, not knowing each other is a very scary thing!"

horrible?

Adrian nodded desperately in agreement.

He had never seen such a terrible Aini.

"Ask carefully tonight." Anil ordered.

"Well, just ask." Xiaolong nodded wildly.He didn't dare to ask Aini why he asked any more.

"Then tell me, what should I ask?" Aini put her hands on her hips like a teapot.

Adrian was dumbfounded.

Knowing that when he was brushing his teeth before going to bed, Adrian's ears were still buzzing with the order of the elf today.

"If you want to ask about your life experience, about your property, about...what else?" Xiaolong recalled distressedly.

Today Aini forced him to recite all afternoon. He clearly remembered it before dinner, but Adrian almost forgot it after eating.

But Aini said that tomorrow he would tell him the result of "mutual understanding".

Ahhhhhhh...it's so distressing.

Iss leaned on the bed, watching Adrian with a sullen face and crawling on the bed to look at him seriously.

"En... Yes." Adrian recalled the tactics that Aini taught him today.

First of all, you have to be roundabout, and you can't let the other party directly see your purpose.

"Do you like me?" Adrian asked cautiously.

It was originally one of Aini's devious tactics, but after he really asked, Xiaolong suddenly found himself seriously nervous.

I've never asked him that question myself.

Mr. Noble was a little surprised.

Adrian has always been straightforward in expressing his feelings, which directly caused him not to think too much about other issues.

He thought that Xiaolong would always express his emotions purely and directly, and that he would pamper him as always.

But tonight had to count as a big improvement.

but……

Mr. Noble opened his mouth.

Xiaolong held his breath and concentrated.

"Who taught you that, Ed?"

He didn't think that his pampering and consideration for him would make Adrian feel insecure that he needed to ask this question.

Sure enough, Xiaolong's eyes obviously hesitated.

Suppressing the laughter, Yisi also suppressed the smile.

Adrian maintained a kneeling posture nervously, trying desperately to answer in his heart.

Mr. Noble was secretly amused by the little dragon's eyeballs turning around but unconsciously.

"No one taught me." Adrian looked at the pattern on the bed curtain seriously.

Well, it was taught by others.

"I thought of it myself this afternoon." Seeing that Mr. Noble said nothing, Adrian quickly answered.

Well, it was taught by the elves.

Mr. Noble remembered what Layton had mentioned to him a little during the day.

"Ed." Ice called softly.

"En." Xiaolong quickly straightened his back.

"Do you think... I don't like you?" Mr. Noble lowered his eyes, his tone a little disappointed.

Adrian didn't understand why Is suddenly fell down, and he became nervous instinctively.

What did you say wrong?

Mr. Noble continued to lose: "Did I treat you badly?"

"You are very good to me." Adrian replied stammeringly, feeling that he could not keep up with Ice's train of thought.

"But you forgot what I said." Iss suddenly raised his head, his deep green eyes made Adrian feel a little dizzy, and he let him pull himself into his arms. "I am very depressed."

Xiaolong quickly recalled in a panic.

"Yes, I'm just, uh..." Just what?It was originally a semi-forced behavior, and Adrian didn't know how to define his behavior at all.

"You said I was good to you." Ice leaned against his ear.

"Very good, very good." Adrian emphasized seriously.

"But I'm not so nice to everyone." She gently kissed Xiaolong's ear, and the tip of the little ear shrank sensitively. "Do you think my attitude towards you is the same as that towards Ani and Layton?"

The head in his arms shook his head.

Ice smiled.

"I won't kiss them, Ed." Iss said seriously, holding Adrian's face. "Can this answer you?"

Adrian's eyes blurred,

On the way from Pagrama to the holy imperial capital, in that small warm carriage.

Such beautiful green eyes, and such a gentle expression.

At that time, Yisi said, "The kiss between lovers, only I can teach you. Only your lips can kiss my heart."

"I love you, Ed. This time, don't forget it again." A kiss as gentle as the tone fell on his lips.
