kiss the night

"From the moment I was born, I knew what I was going to face. The endless fields, the tenant farmers who cultivated, the black slaves who did rough work, and countless cattle, sheep, grapes, and of course, The ever-vigilant Holy See and the eye-catching enemies."

"This is something every lord has to face, and I am the same." Laurentine reached out and stroked Yan Zhao's hair. He led the Asian freshmen behind him into the flower field, and in the place surrounded by flowers, there was a The white swing looked old, but the screws and iron chains on it were still shining, so they should have been well taken care of.

Yan Zhao was half pushed and half shoved to sit on the swing. His feet were off the ground, and he quietly watched the outstanding vampire prince in front of him. This was the first time that Yan Zhao looked at Laurentine so closely and seriously. In those jewel-like eyes, his irises are usually extremely pale light blue, and under the straight brow bone, the long and curled eyelashes cast a shadow.

Under such circumstances, Laurentine suddenly talked to him, and Yan Zhao almost instantly thought that all this should be related to that "her".

Obviously it was Yan Zhao who first proposed to know more, but at this time, he felt inexplicably sour in his heart... as if he hoped that Laurentine would only live by himself, even though Yan Zhao understood very well, let a handsome, wealthy It is impossible for a man to have no one else around him for hundreds of years.

Laurentine looked at the rose in front of him and said to himself: "This story may seem clichéd to you, but I will tell you that a boy with high hopes from birth, his daily life is to learn all kinds of etiquette, Knowledge, horseback riding, and the use of weapons of all kinds, from morning to night, and he knew that such a dull life would go on for a long time, and that was the long life of a vampire."

"Maybe." Yan Zhao said, "Maybe it is such a gentleman, but if I tell you that it was difficult to fill my stomach most of the time before I left the Si family, you may feel that your childhood It’s not as bad as I imagined.”

He heard Laurentine chuckle beside him, his voice sounded lighter than before, and he said, "This will never happen again, as long as you stay by my side." The ambiguous factor is too strong, and Yan Zhao's ears are warm, but he is not willing to admit that he will be moved by Laurentine's casual promise.

Therefore, Yan Zhao bluntly changed the topic: "Tell me about your 'she', sir, you said she likes roses... I originally thought that the reason why there are so many roses in this castle is because its owner likes them. "

"Yes, its owner likes it." Laurentine's eyes drifted into the distance, and she didn't know what to remember, "She used to be the owner of this castle, a real duchess, just to keep the bloodline pure, she Being with my own brother and having an heir, just like what you know, the weakest time of a pure-blooded vampire's life is before differentiation, when our body function is just like that of an ordinary human child .”

"And the duchess's child became her weakness, and she lost her manor and territory. The slaves burned the entire land under the instigation of the Holy See. The fire on Red Moon Mountain burned for nearly half a month. All of her All her hard work was wasted, and she herself, in order to save her child, was stripped naked and crucified on the tortured cross. The sun will not kill her, but it will make her weak day after day, until one day ..."

Laurenting stopped, and Yan Zhao turned his head. He had already guessed the identity of that "she", and his tone was mixed with anxiety and worry: "Sir, I shouldn't bring this up, you don't have to..."

"Until one day, I killed my mother with my own hands." Laurentine said softly, his speech speed was slow, and every syllable was pronounced very clearly, "Oh, humans compare us to demons, and their own actions They also seem to be more cruel than demons. They are used to eliminating dissidents and not allowing any existence beyond their power. What an incomprehensible conceit, Zhao. Even if you regard them as the same kind today, they still don’t Will accept you, your kindness is just a knife in the hands of the enemy."

Laurentine suddenly hugged Yan Zhao to his lap, like a child hugging his beloved plush toy, and stretched out his hand to fiddle with Yan Zhao's soft black hair: "I don't need your sympathy, because I already exist in this place. For many, many years in the world, my heart is stronger than you can imagine."

Yan Zhao did not stop Laurentine's behavior. He felt that he was being surrounded by a living creature with a little temperature (since the body temperature of vampires is very low, so the mutual perception of each other's body temperature is not completely cold), this feeling is very The novelty made him feel his chest swell, and his ears couldn't help but feel hot.

"I'm not sympathizing with you." Yan Zhao said, he lowered his head and stared at his fingers on his knees, "I just feel sad."

"For my mother?"

"For you, sir."

"Oh." Laurentine laughed, "When you feel sorry for a 'bad feudal vampire prince', maybe it means danger."

"What danger?" Yan Zhao felt as if his brain was not turning, and everything was blurted out.

"The danger is that you may fall in love with me, a vampire who kills without blinking an eye." Laurentine narrowed his eyes, and smiled on Yan Zhao's shoulder, like a guy who succeeded in a prank, "Or, just now when you Are you jealous when you ask me who 'she' is? Who do you think she is, my ex-girlfriend or..."

"Enough!" Yan Zhaotong jumped off Laurentine with red cheeks and eyes. Because of his excitement, his two fangs, which were not yet fully mature, showed white sharp points from between his lips, as if pointing at Laurentine. Lunting bared his teeth in protest, "Please don't mess around, look a little like His Royal Highness."

Yanzhao fled in despair, ran all the way into his room, and plunged into the quilt.

And at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of someone knocking on the window. When he opened the curtains, he suddenly saw Laurentine's handsome face hanging upside down outside the window. The prince showed a wicked smile.

"You're cute, Zhao."

"Oh my god, you should have fallen and broken your neck!" Yan Zhao slammed on the window, then closed the curtains with a "swish", ignoring the movement outside.

It's terrifying!

Why didn't he think that Laurentine would be such a person before? He must have been blinded by his appearance, so he felt that he was a truly elegant and mature nobleman.

With such thoughts, Yan Zhao briefly forgot about the Royce brothers and Anna. To a certain extent, Yan Zhao is also an optimist. Ok forget about it.

When he returned to the campus again, Jesse couldn't help complaining to Yan Zhao that his whereabouts were too mysterious.

"Why is it like this every time, it disappears when it says it disappears, the phone can't get through, and the email doesn't reply." Jessie patted the table, "This makes your friends worry, Zhao."

"I'm sorry." Yan Zhao scratched his head, "some things happened recently."

"What's the matter? It won't be related to your cohabitant again. Hey, speaking of it, he hasn't appeared at school for a long time. I thought you were kidnapped by him."

"Of course not." Yan Zhao waved his hand, "I have nothing to do with Si Qi now."

"That's right." Jesse responded, and then added in a low voice, "Maybe you're the only one who thinks so, not necessarily him."

Returning to school again, Yanzhao found that Laurentine’s name had disappeared from the professor’s list since at some point, and the old man who brought European history had returned, and he would always curl his lips in disdain in class Ba, when talking about Laurentine, he would say: Ambitious politicians should stay away from pure academic halls, look, let him lead for more than a semester, these students still seem to have learned nothing!

At this time, Yan Zhao would always secretly slander: "The ones who don't listen to the class are the students, but the old man's teaching is definitely worse than Laurentine."

He admitted that the balance in his heart has gradually tilted towards Laurentine, and this may be due in part to the fact that His Royal Highness the Prince took off his usual mask in front of him, revealing his true side—he Sharing his past with Yan Zhao, and no matter whether it is good or bad emotions, he no longer hides in front of Yan Zhao, which makes Yan Zhao feel that he is much closer to him.

He knew why Laurentine no longer taught lessons.

grand ceremony.

In the legendary Vampire Ceremony where the power of the ancestors will appear, Laurentine told him that maybe the ancestors will give some hints about "fangs" at this ceremony.

"For your safety, I don't suggest you go back to school now." Laurentine said this, and his tone was filled with some slight dissatisfaction, "Oh, the ones who didn't grow up to that group of hairs What's the good of staying together, kid? If you want to learn about history, you might as well ask me directly, I can even tell you the name of the first female worker who entered the factory from my own experience."

Yanzhao heard the meaning of Laurenting's words, he made a serious consideration, and then asked in a very modest tone: "Then, my great highness, the first female worker to enter the factory What's the name?"

Laurenting looked at Yan Zhao in surprise, he seemed to be choked by Yan Zhao's question, until he saw the smile that could not help showing from the corner of Yan Zhao's mouth, he realized that the original one was as timid as a deer The boy, I don't know when it started, he has learned to use his innocent face to make fun of him!

"I should withhold your food, Zhao." Laurentine said with a dark face, "Or, I should just lock you up without asking for your opinion."

"It's against the law."

"Oh, but you are a vampire, and vampires must abide by the rules set by the local lord."

"That depends on whether your rules are reasonable, Your Highness." Yan Zhao blinked at Laurentine, even he didn't realize it, but that look really seemed to be arrogant, "I will pay attention to safety. As long as there is no class, I will stay at home, and I will not go to any other place by myself."
