kiss the night

Laurentine, as an exotic duke, was traveling with some working papers, which might not have stopped the war, but officials in East Lapliver had hoped it would send at least some positive signals.Naturally, they did not dare to slack off in the reception. Although a dinner was simple, it had everything from appetizers to black tea. The food was still hot when it was served, and the aroma of meat and bread spread in the room.

This is of course a treat for ordinary humans, but the two sitting in the room are both adult vampires, and the only thing that can really provide them with energy is blood, and other foods can only be regarded as spices.Normally, when they encounter this kind of situation, they will only complete some eating to cooperate with humans, in order to make the scene less embarrassing. However, Yan Zhao did not touch the food in front of him today.

The prince leaned on the fabric sofa next to him, flipping the pages of the book in his hands leisurely. It was a serious literature written in French, which was difficult to understand. According to Laurentine himself, this was actually a type he didn't like. .

"But it's a good way to pass the time," he said. "You know, baby, the last thing a vampire needs in life is time."

Yan Zhao put down the knife and fork, and the metal product hit the porcelain plate, making a crisp sound.

Laurentine raised his eyes: "What's the matter? Is there something that doesn't suit your appetite? Don't eat it if you don't like it, and pour it out later."

Yan Zhao shook his head and said: "No, it's too wasteful!" He didn't pay attention for a while, and the volume was louder, which sounded a little annoyed.

The prince threw the book aside, stood up from the sofa, and walked to him: "What's the matter, Zhao, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere, is it 'fangs'?" He asked with a worried tone.

"I'm sorry." After Yan Zhao realized that his tone was wrong, he immediately apologized. He knew that Laurentine was not a real extravagant and wasteful person. Sometimes the reason why he would throw away food was because of the helplessness of being a vampire. .

"It's okay, baby, I know you are a good boy, and you never get angry for no reason." Laurentine kissed him on the cheek, this prince always makes certain intimate behaviors very natural, "tell What's wrong with me, if you have something on your mind."

Yanzhao hesitated for a while, but decided to confess his thoughts: From just now, he has been worried about the child who is pulling his clothes. The boy's eyes are pure and innocent, and all he desires is just a little food. .

Yan Zhao endured too much pain from hunger in his childhood, and he knew that the feeling of powerlessness, the pain from the inside out, was hard to describe in words.

"They don't have enough to eat, but we foreigners enjoy the food produced on their land, and even these foods are completely unnecessary to us." After Yan Zhao finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing, he knew What I said was capricious. After all, these were the affairs of the Gentiles, and it was not their turn to intervene anyway.

Laurentine paced slowly in the room. After hearing Yan Zhao's words, he let out a short "um" sound from his throat, as if he was affirming and thinking.

"So you're feeling guilty, my boy?" he said, pausing. "If that's the case, I think we need to go out."

"What to do?"

"Do something to soothe your mood." Laurentine grabbed Yan Zhao's wrist, and when he saw Yan Zhao looking at him with an unbelievable expression, Laurentine shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, I know what you're thinking. Indeed, to me, it's just a part of history, there are always hungry people, and you can't save them all."

"Yes." Yan Zhao nodded, he looked a little lost.

"But my good boy, he's the one who throws stranded fish back into the river one by one because he thinks the fish cares.*" Laurentine laughed. "Come on, let's go out for a walk."

A strict curfew is being enforced in East La Prive, however, the travel of vampires is obviously not so easy for humans to detect.Yan Zhao took the food, packed them into the lunch box, and sneaked into the night like the most unobtrusive bat.

When the night falls, the day can still whitewash the peaceful embassy area, and at this time they also expose their embarrassment - one or two children occasionally run by the street, they are agile, silent, and arched their backs Fumble under the walls of the embassy district, and even its sewer pipes.

They deftly hide their bodies when there are guards on patrol, apparently repeat offenders.

"He must live near here." Yan Zhao whispered, "The children don't have the extra physical strength to support them being too far away from home, which is unrealistic."

"Of course." Laurentine affirmed this speculation.

They shuttled among the low houses, and they could hear the voices from different houses with their ears upright. Just as the ambassador who received them said, the plague was rampant here, and every few houses, Yan Zhao could hear the voices of the people tearing up. There were heartbreaking coughs and groans, and from time to time, children cried loudly and adults sobbed.

"My God, this looks like hell on earth." Yan Zhao was so choked that he could hardly speak, he walked forward in silence, his drooping eyelashes cast shadows on his face, making him look very sad.

"My dear child from Cain." Laurentine finally couldn't help sighing, "You acted as cute as an angel...and this made me feel pity too, it was me hundreds of years ago A feeling I've never felt before."

Yan Zhao heard Laurenting's words, but he didn't reply in time. Fortunately, the prince beside him didn't care. They continued to search quietly. However, after walking for a long time, they didn't hear the boy's voice at noon.

"Or share the food in your hand with other children." Laurentine suggested, "I believe it is also very important to them."

Yan Zhao was hesitating and ready to nod when he suddenly heard commotion in front of him.

It was the sound of a wooden plank being smashed, which was very obvious in the silent night. Accompanied by a loud noise, there was also a suppressed noise. There were at least five people, and they seemed to be fighting, making a chaotic sound.

"Are you trying to steal my food, boy! Do you know how long it took us to find this thing?" The child's voice came from the direction of the commotion.

"Why don't you dig your gutter, huh? Can't your cousin catch mice?"

"Hit him, the thief!"

"Kill him to death, he will die sooner or later anyway!"

……

It was hard for Yan Zhao to imagine that such vicious words would come out of a group of children, and the next moment, he heard a familiar cry.

It's the boy at noon.

Although he didn't know what happened, Yan Zhao decided to calm down the commotion first. After all, if this movement provoked the patrolling guards, it would not be a fight between children. Who knows what those people would do .

"The guards are here!" Yan Zhao called out.

There was another flurry of footsteps ahead, mixed with swear words in local slang, which Yan Zhao couldn't understand, but he could hear the children gradually running away, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

"Let's go and have a look." He grabbed Laurentine's wrist, and the two vampires arrived at the boy's position almost instantly.

The scene was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was quite irritating to vampires. Yan Zhao covered his mouth and coughed twice. He could feel his heart beating violently a few times. However, in the end, his instinct was still overwhelmed by reason. Pressed back.
