For vampires, three meals are unnecessary. Although they have the same body structure as humans, their long lives and lower body temperature make their metabolism much slower. The demand is about one week, however, newborns will have a greater demand for food during the growth period of their fangs.

"Gilbert will bring a blood slave from the castle every other day." Laurentine sat on the sofa covered with a blanket, and Yan Zhao sat face to face with him, looking a little stiff.

From another room in the villa came the voices of men and women talking in low voices—it was the blood slave who came to collect the blood, and Gilbert who was in charge of the blood collection.

Not long after, a bloody smell spread in the room, and Gilbert walked up to Yan Zhao holding a glass.

To be honest, Yan Zhao has never seen any employee who is as conscientious as Gilbert. The angle of his slight bow is almost exactly the same as the model in the etiquette class. Even the hand holding the cup is wearing white gloves, and his behavior is perfectly restored. The kind of attendant in the court of the old society.

"Drink it while it's hot," said Laurentine.

This statement made Yan Zhao vomit reflexively. He closed his eyes, took the cup and drank it all in one gulp, trying to clear his mind so that he would not care that it was blood just taken from a living person.

To be honest, this kind of experience is very contradictory. On the one hand, it is extremely longing physically, and on the other hand, it is extremely repelling psychologically. Yan Zhao feels that he may be depressed for a long time.

Fortunately, things like this don't happen often.

During the whole process of his eating, Laurentine leaned on the back of the sofa and watched silently. His eyes slid from Yan Zhao's painfully closed eyes to the rolling Adam's apple under the white skin of his neck... The prince's strength destined him With five senses more sensitive than other vampires, he can not only smell the faint sweetness of Yan Zhao's body, but also hear the sound of blood flowing in Yan Zhao's blood vessels when he listens carefully.

The boy's appearance seems to be more like an angel than a devil, suitable for the kind of gentle, delicate and sensitive angel painted on oil paintings.

What would his blood taste like?

When such thoughts jumped into Laurentine's mind, he was taken aback by himself—the long life had made his desires have long been weak, not only emotional and physical desires, but also appetite.

Lust is the nature of evil beings, and it is also their Achilles' heel.

Laurentine forcibly moved his eyes away from Yan Zhao, and looked at Gilbert next to him.

The conscientious butler was slightly taken aback when he received the lord's gaze. He looked at His Royal Highness's red eyes and asked, "Your Highness, do I need to prepare food for you?" Gilbert was puzzled by today's obvious Why did His Highness behave like this before Laurentine needed to eat?

Maybe it was affected by the smell of blood.

Gilbert guessed so.

Laurentine stood up and went to the room where the blood slave was inside, and then closed the door. A series of movements were smooth and flowing, and he didn't even give Yan Zhao another look.

"What's wrong with him?" Yan Zhao stared at the door, inexplicably depressed, although he didn't know the origin of this emotion.

"Don't dare to speak rashly." Gilbert put on that poker face, and gave a well-regulated answer, "Your Highness should have gone to eat."

In Yan Zhao's mind, he recalled the scene he had seen in the castle. Laurentine held the scantily clad woman in his arms, and sucked the woman's blood in an extremely intimate and lustful way.

His mood became even more unpleasant, and even his tone to Gilbert was not as easy-going as usual: "I said, can't you vampires eat in a more elegant way? Even if sucking the blood of the same kind is forced to survive, at least It can also be changed to a method that is more acceptable to others... Keeping blood slaves in captivity is simply an act against humanity."

Gilbert was not annoyed by Yan Zhao's sudden reprimand, he thought about Yan Zhao's question carefully, and gave a reply: "Because the fresher the blood, the more palatable it is, and, for most vampires, it is A manifestation of ability...Of course, I am not mocking you for relying on the drawn blood to eat, which is something shameful."

"In addition, generally sucking blood does not necessarily involve physical contact. Although sucking blood from the neck is the most friendly to vampires, it is the most painful for humans. It is more like a punishment. Our Highness Generally, the mouth will be sipped from the wrist, and the blood slave who is sucked will be required to clean up before then, so this kind of behavior is not considered dishonest..."

"Okay." Yan Zhao interrupted Gilbert, and he said frankly, "You explain for Laurentine, I can understand, but I still can't agree with all kinds of bad habits of vampires, even traditions always have dross .”

"However, I think I will learn to seek common ground while reserving differences with you." Yan Zhao said, got up and went back to his room.

Yan Zhao stayed in the room until late at night, and did not go out during the period, until he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, Yan Zhao got up and came out of the room, wanting to get some fresh air.

Laurenting's villa is not very big, it has three floors, half of the top floor is an attic, and the other half is an open-air terrace, with some evergreen shrubs and roses planted on it. The fragrance of flowers is tangy, but it is a good place to relax.

However, Yan Zhao did not expect that Laurentine was there. The vampire prince was playing with the sapphire ring in his hand with his head down. After hearing the sound, he put away the ring in his hand and turned to look at Yan Zhao.

"Can't sleep?" he asked.

Yan Zhao didn't deny this, he shrugged his shoulders: "It's hard for vampires to sleep at night, that's what you told me."

"That's right." Laurentine raised his lips and smiled, "It seems that our freshmen finally remember to accept their new identities. I heard from Gilbert that you published another important article on 'reforming vampire eating' today." speech."

"He is your faithful squire."

Laurenting didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in Yan Zhao's sentence, so he hugged him by the shoulders, and took Yan Zhao to sit on the fabric sofa chair on the terrace: "We have no reason to harm you, my child, you should understand this .Everything I have done, including letting you live here, is to ensure your safety. Now the situation outside is not as stable as you imagined. Those mixed-race vampires are just around the corner, and we haven't figured out their details yet."

Yan Zhao didn't speak, he understood Laurentine's meaning, and although this man always exudes an aura of aristocrats in the old society, he is indeed his benefactor.

"This afternoon, when you were talking to your former cohabitant, why did you say that you have no home?" Laurentine changed the subject.

The state of the two of them at this moment reminded Yanzhao of the night chat column in the dormitory, but the difference was that the object of this night chat was not only hundreds of years older than himself, but even not human.

This made Yan Zhao feel a little dramatic and absurd, but when he turned his head to meet Laurentine's jewel-like eyes, he immediately took back the words he was about to tease.

The moonlight visited Renal City, and the bright pure white enveloped the two of them.

Laurentine continued to ask: "So, don't you want to consider going back to your country and looking for your biological parents?" When he asked this question, his tone was very flat, without any tendency, as if Yan Zhao answered "Yes" or "no" is within his expectations.

"...I don't know." Yan Zhao rested his head on the sofa chair behind him, feeling some tiredness that he had felt before the separation for a long time, "I didn't actually think about it. If I found them, I should What attitude do you use to face them?"

"You may wonder why they abandoned you," said Laurentine.

"Yes." Yan Zhao admitted quickly, "But no matter what their answer is, I have been separated from them for almost 20 years."

Laurentine smiled softly: "20 years is not long for vampires... However, it is a good thing that you are not prepared, because you can't leave for the time being... I need to confirm one thing at the ceremony, you must be present .”
