kiss the night

As it turns out, Laurentine was right.

Although the prince acted like a truly elegant gentleman, his mind was as deep as the night outside. No one knew when he discovered the special bond between Noah and Austin, and from where. Right from the start, he decided to use this fetter to achieve his own goals.

He began to lead Noah to wander around the castle frequently. Sometimes he took him to read in the library of the castle, and sometimes he took him to the stables to pick horses. Ride through the vast fields of La Puriver like a real family of three.

"To be honest, this is definitely the happiest moment in my life." Yan Zhao kept laughing on the horseback. He was wearing a white knight outfit and a pair of khaki jodhpurs, which outlined the muscles of his thighs. "Austen certainly never imagined that we'd be vacationing at his castle, the mean old man."

Laurentine seemed to be pleased by the title "old man", he chuckled twice.

Noah was sitting on the pony behind them, his eyes drifted away, looking at the gray-black tower in the distance.He knew that the prince named Austin was overlooking from the high tower. In fact, since the fact was exposed, Noah could often feel the sight Austin cast on him. That kind of sight was gone when he first saw him. That arrogance at the time, but a more complicated emotion.

If Noah had to find a word to describe it, it should be sad, but of course the prince was not sad because of Noah, but was looking at another person through him.

Noah's silence made Yan Zhao feel that the atmosphere was not right. In fact, Yan Zhao had been paying attention to it for several days, and the relationship between Laurentine and Noah suddenly became closer... Although this was a good thing, the turning point came late. It was so sudden that it made him suspicious.

"Noah, what's on your mind?" he asked.

Laurenting stared at the boy behind him vigilantly. He didn't want Yan Zhao to know about it, at least not now.According to Laurentine's thinking, Yan Zhao shouldn't worry too much at this time. As for Noah's life experience, we can wait until they get the ruby.

It was rare for Noah to agree with Laurentine. He was calm and composed: "It's nothing, I just feel a little tired, maybe we can take a rest in front."

"Okay." Yan Zhao was dubious, but decided to take a nap under the oak in front of him.

When Laurentine and Noah were alone, the blond prince snorted, and then warned: "You should behave better, you see, I have already accompanied you like a real father. "

"Come on, sir."

Since Noah and Laurentine shared a common secret, he was no longer afraid of the prince, and rolled his eyes casually: "Your 'fatherly love' for me is just to show your presence in front of Austin and shake his heart, so that he can obediently hand over the ruby."

"Hmm..." Laurentine nodded in satisfaction, and he even showed a smile on his face, appreciating, "Yes, you look like a descendant of a prince now, boy, the only problem is, You are not calm enough now, when you learn to hide the roll of your eyes that you want to roll up, you will be truly mature."

"Why, don't you never want to express disdain with white eyes?" Noah contradicted.

Laurentine smiled: "Of course."

"When?" Noah was still a child after all, he was really curious.

Laurentine kept smiling: "Right now, my child."

In the evening, they turned back to the castle.

Unexpectedly, the maid whom she had seen at the beginning, who often behaved neither humble nor overbearing, was standing in the vestibule of the castle waiting to greet them.Oh, this is really a rare thing. You must know that Yan Zhao has always felt that the maid is somewhat indifferent, and has no hospitality at all. Every time before, they asked for anything on their own initiative.

"Did something big happen today? This lady." Every time Laurentine deliberately flattered someone with his aria-like voice, it sounded extra yin and yang.

The maid said: "It is true that His Highness Austin has prepared a dinner party. I hope you two can come. Of course, there is also this little gentleman." Her eyes stayed on Noah for a while, and quickly moved away. Gone, after saying this, the maid bowed her body, turned and left.

"He finally couldn't hold it anymore." Laurentine said, humming a certain tune while walking down the stairs.

"What can't you hold back?" Yan Zhao asked curiously.

Laurentine seemed to be in a good mood. He turned around, not caring about Noah's existence at all, and kissed Yan Zhao's lips, and made a loud "boo".

"Hey!" Noah looked away.

Even though the two of them kissed quite a lot, Yan Zhao still couldn't stand Laurentine being so presumptuous in front of others, his ears turned red, and he pushed Laurentine away: "Can you pay attention to some influences, Your Highness. "

"Don't worry, I didn't see you kissing." Noah added fuel to the fire.

Yan Zhao silently glanced back and forth between the two men in front of him, more precisely, a man and a boy...

"Well, you can hide it from me as you like." He pretended to be angry, turned around and walked upstairs.

Originally, Laurentine just wanted to tease the house cat, and didn't want to really piss him off, so he quickly grabbed Yan Zhao's sleeve: "Honey, you know that's not what I mean, I mean..."

Hiko stopped.

Laurentine showed a victorious smile: "I mean, Austin will hand over the ruby ​​soon, just wait and see, maybe at today's dinner."

Yan Zhao didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Laurenting's gourd, but his trust in the prince never diminished - if Laurenting said that this matter could be accomplished, then Yan Zhao would feel at ease.He changed into a decent dress in the room and went downstairs.

The banquet hall of Lodgey Castle has not been used for a long time. Apparently, the servants here are also a bit busy with the dinner. However, fortunately, everything is within the rules, and the dishes that night are not bad. Hearty - all meat with blood, the emphasis is on the exquisite presentation, and the staple food is of course blood.

This is the dinner party culture of vampires. They are obviously a group of predators, but they are still learning the elegance of the "prey". This makes the whole dinner party a bit weird, but the good news is that Yan Zhao has gradually gotten used to this weirdness.

He cut the steak on the plate with a knife and fork, and put it back in front of Noah beside him.

"Thank you." Noah smiled at him with a friendly tone.

Austin seemed to be staring at Noah for the whole dinner party, and seeing Noah's smile, he was stunned for several seconds without making any next move.
