Children Raised by Vampires [Western Fantasy]

How much jewelry and clothes can be bought with two gold coins, and what quality of clothes and jewelry?

Lan Yan had no idea about this, but he also knew that two gold coins was quite a lot of money for the low-level people. After all, Minian once told him that she could not earn a single gold coin a year.

But in order to avoid Brian's misunderstanding, Lan Yan still explained to him. "I lent her the money and she said she needed to buy a wedding present for a cousin."

Brian stroked his beard, still a little skeptical. "Since you lent it to her, then I have no problem. However, I see that she doesn't seem to be buying gifts for others, but for herself."

"Really? Then I'll ask her at night, she hasn't come back yet?" Lan Yan asked.

The two of them were talking while standing under the sycamore tree on the edge of the square. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind stirred up sand, stones and fallen leaves on the ground.

Brian pressed his hat, held the iron pole on the ground, and looked into the distance. "Not yet. She can't ask for leave all the time. If this happens, I'll have to change people. What's more, I can feel that she is not the kind of quiet person."

"It's okay, I'm just a little proud, I haven't done anything out of the ordinary." Lan Yan said. "However, she has been working here. It seems that there are no occasions where she needs to wear gorgeous clothes, right?" What's more, the servants are given uniforms and skirts in the castle, and they need to wear uniforms on important days and occasions.

"It's so beautiful, you should still remember Trieste?" Brian said.

Lan Yan nodded, slightly raised her head to look at Brian. "What's up with her?"

"Compared to her, Donna is just bold and restrained. We don't think there is any difference between them, but because of her beauty, I hope that a nobleman will take a fancy to her."

Thinking of Trieste's appearance on the street, her coquettish walking style caused countless men to whistle at her.Lan Yan thinks there is still a difference.

In the evening, Donna finally came back. The clothes, gloves and hats she was wearing were all new. She had a fluffy skirt, a slender waist, and a smear of makeup. From a distance, she thought it was a lady from a noble family.

Carrying a bag of things, when she walked into the front hall of the small courtyard, she nodded to Lan Yan who was sitting on the small sofa.

Walker also came in from the outside, walked up to Lan Yan and asked, "Do you want to go to the racecourse in the city at night? I know a place where His Majesty's racecourse is much more exciting." Lan Yan told him yesterday Sturt took him to Yocana Manor to see the horses.

"Yes. But you have to talk to Brian and ask him to send us a carriage." Lan Yan got up and walked towards the stairs.

Passing by the servant's room, Lan Yan deliberately stopped outside Donna's room door. After Minian left, Brian hadn't arranged for anyone to live in, so she lived alone.

Lan Yan knocked on the door and asked politely, "Can I come in?"

There were rustling sounds from inside, and after a while, Donna opened the door. She was still wearing the same dark green dress as before, except that she had taken off her hat and gloves, and tied a bib on her chest. "What's the matter? Lan Yan." She asked, her big brown eyes looked at Lan Yan softly and detachedly.

Lan Yan smiled and said: "I just want to ask you for reference. Isn't Minian getting married too? The wedding will be at the beginning of next month, and my wedding gift for her hasn't been ready yet. What did you give your cousin? Wedding present?"

"Well, I sent jewelry and clothes, because I grew up with her and we have a very good relationship." She opened the door and greeted her. "come in."

There was no change in the room, except that Minian's bed was empty, and in front of the mirror on another small table, there were more bottles of rouge, gouache, perfume, etc.

"When will your cousin hold a wedding?" Lan Yan asked.

"It was originally for today." Donna sighed, walked to the bed and opened the bag of things she had brought back. "Look, I got everything ready, but they canceled the wedding." She took out all the things packed in those gift boxes.

"Huh?" Lan Yan asked in surprise. "Then what about the things you carefully prepared? Can't you return them?"

Donna nodded in frustration, Lan Yan saw that her reaction didn't look like she had something to hide. "It's not worth pawning. Fortunately, I am about the same height and shape as her, so I can use these things." She opened a gift box, which contained a string of pearl necklaces, matching earrings and hair accessories.

Do these things cost two gold coins?Lan Yan was puzzled. "Do you need to send so many wedding gifts? What's in that big box?"

"It's a dress." Donna opened the box to show Lan Yan. "People who are close will give a little more. For ordinary friends who are not close, a simple gift is enough." She said.

"Then I will give Minian a set of jewelry and clothes when she gets married." Lan Yan said. "And her child, I'm going to make two gold bracelets for her child." He said while observing her reaction.

Donna just smiled softly: "I really envy her, you have such a good relationship with her."

Lan Yan chatted with her casually, and was about to leave, but Tang Na stopped him again. "Lan Yan, thank you for lending me the money, but I can only pay you back the money slowly."

Her attitude was quite sincere, and Lan Yan didn't particularly care about the two gold coins, so she waved her hand. "No rush, it's okay to pay back."

In the evening, Walker took the blue smoke to the racecourse he mentioned, and Brian went with him. They also went to the brothel to pick up Brian's lover.

Here are some people of the same teaching and high-ranking, a few people bought the number and rushed to the stands, Walker pulled the blue smoke tightly, walked through the dense crowd, and found a good position.There are too many people, the ground is dirty, and there are all kinds of melon and fruit confetti.Rude men, unrestrained sex, noisy, very lively.

The game hadn't started yet, everyone was chatting, Brian hugged his lover, and Lan Yan looked at them boredly.A man in the row behind them kept staring at Lan Yan, spat, and whispered to the woman next to him, and said something, which made the woman smile coquettishly.

After a while, the horse race started, and everyone stood up, leaned forward, and shouted loudly to the horse they had bet on.

Lan Yan doesn't feel much, what he likes is the feeling of riding a horse. Compared with betting on horses, he prefers regular horse racing. It is best that he can participate in the competition by himself, that would be exciting.

After a round of competition, the audience fell silent.The few of them are just buying for fun, they are not keen on it, and they are not angry when they lose.But before leaving, Lan Yan heard someone talking about Winster, saying that His Majesty the King tried his best to protect His Highness Becky because the two of them got married long ago, and Lambert did not commit suicide because of world-weariness, but because Knowing about their adultery, she suffered a huge blow, so she jumped into the holy fire and died, and the child in Becky's belly was the real king Winster's.

What she said was well-founded, and Lan Yan believed it. Otherwise, why would Winster have prepared so well, and arranged for her to return to her mother's family directly after Lambert died.

"Is what they said true?" Back on the carriage, Lan Yan asked Walker.His boots were trampled and Walker was cleaning them with a rag from the carriage.

Walker shook his head. He didn't know about this kind of thing, and he didn't know, and he didn't serve Winster.

Brian, who was driving ahead, interjected, "There have been rumors for a long time. Now that Her Royal Highness Becky and the child are gone, who can tell if it is true or not. But if it is really His Majesty's child, then the child When he grows up, he will definitely become a very remarkable blood family, and maybe he will inherit all the abilities of His Majesty."

"I don't think it's true. His Majesty and Prince Lambert have a very good relationship and would not do such a thing," Walker said.

It was already late at night when they returned to the castle, and the three of them took a rest after washing up.

After breakfast the next day, Lan Yan went to the library again.

The sun was shining outside today, the vampires had gone to sleep, and the restricted area was very quiet during the day.Lan Yan didn't want to stay here any longer, and was about to take the book she wanted to read and leave, but when she opened the door, she saw a man in black robe standing in front of the bookshelf, flipping through an old book in his thin hand, and saw He came in and gave him a polite smile.

The man had long white hair hanging loose, deep-set eye sockets, cloudy eyes, and wrinkled face. He wore a golden gem-studded collar around his neck. He was skinny and skinny. It was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman. Although he is old, his temperament is very elegant.

Does he know him?But he was sure he hadn't seen him.Lan Yan was a little puzzled, but she nodded politely towards him.

Is this man a human or a vampire?Lan Yan quietly looked at the man.

When he left, the man smiled respectfully and politely and nodded at him again. His eyes were narrowed, which made Lan Yan very confused. When he returned, he asked Walker who was drawing under the plane tree.

Walker listened to his description patiently, and said, "You mean Augustus Garcia, right? He wears a gold collar around his neck." Walker gestured.

"Yes." Lan Yan nodded. "Who is he? Is he a blood race?"

"He is a fortune-teller and a human being, but he is over 300 years old. He has a very powerful predictive ability, and His Majesty values ​​him very much," Walker said. "I heard from Lord Meg that he seems to have been here for a while. What's wrong with him? You suddenly asked him."

"I, I don't know." Lan Yan thought for a while. "He always smiles at me, as if he knows me, but I really haven't seen him."

"Laughing at you?" Walker asked in surprise. "How is that possible? Augustus is a very serious old man."

Lan Yan couldn't figure it out, so he let him go. In short, he was a strange old man, otherwise how could a normal person live for 300 years.

Two weeks before Minian's wedding, Lan Yan asked Fu Li carefully, and after finding out what Minian liked, she planned to go shopping for gifts in the city with her.

He excitedly ran back to the room to get the money, and when he opened the box, he found something was wrong. He felt that his gold coins were missing, and there was a box full of them. Knowing the gold coins Winster and Toreado gave him, he just Four were given.

"Lan Yan, are you ready? Hurry up, I need to get back early and I have to prepare dinner." Fuli's voice came from outside the window, and she was waiting for him downstairs.

"Okay, okay." Lan Yan didn't have time to count, took a few gold coins and stuffed them into the purse, and pushed the box back under the bed.He was going to count it again when he came back, but he forgot about it when he turned around.

On the day of Minian's wedding, Brian, Walker, Fuli, Alik and others all went. The smile on Minian's face never stopped. Roy loves her very much, and Lan Yan is also happy for her .

After marriage, Minian didn't have much contact with the people in the castle, only Fuli occasionally brought her news, and Lan Yan went to see her when the child was born, and she refused the baby Jin that Lan Yan gave her. Bracelet, but in the end, under Fuli's persuasion, she accepted it.

After that, Lan Yan didn't see her again for several years.

The life in the pure white castle is still going on, no matter what time it is, she is always so magnificent and majestic, with pure white walls and golden glittering spires, hidden in the ancient woods on the top of the mountain.

In the past five years, the object brought back by the little white dog has given birth to four litters of puppies. The castle cannot keep so many dogs, so the puppies were all sent away by Brian.

At the beginning, Brian said that Donna was not a peaceful person, but she didn't cause any trouble in the past few years, and she still took good care of Lan Yan, although the two gold coins were not returned to him.

Lan Yan is no longer a young lady, she has grown into a teenager, and she likes to steal alcohol more and more, causing Brian to lock the door of the wine cellar every time.

The whereabouts of Becky and her child are still unknown, but she is covered in blood, lying weakly in the cave, telling him that the image of waiting for him is still engraved in Lan Yan's mind, causing him to take it from time to time. Come out and think about it.
