[Comprehensive Anglo-American] New York People's Suffering History

Klaus sat on the couch, tapping his fingers on the soft armrest.

"SHIELD? You want to work for the US government?" His tone was full of surprise.

Soapy sat upright on the sofa opposite Klaus, with his legs together, his hands clenched into small fists on his knees, and he explained timidly: "Actually, they don't count as working for the government. Their organization doesn't seem to be regulated by the government." Control. And I haven't decided whether to go or not..."

"It still needs to be decided?" Klaus has repeatedly instilled the history of the vampires into Subi. There have been countless tragedies between the vampires and humans. No matter what happens in this world, different species cannot coexist perfectly. .There is always one side in the dominant position, and the other species either perish or live in seclusion or are enslaved.

Elijah also joined in the preaching. "Subby, if you are for that American soldier, Nick can control him and let him stay here with you obediently. If you are tired of playing, you can change to someone else. Nick and I are willing to do everything for you. I just hope you don't put yourself put in danger."

"If you control him, you won't be him." Soapy is grateful to the Michelson family who regard her as a family member, but the two old people's methods of dealing with certain problems are too simple and rude. "I want to go there to help occasionally, of course, mainly to protect him in a legitimate way. I will definitely stay here more often, and I am also worried that people from the witch coven will come at any time."

"What if you encounter danger over there? What if we can't show up in time?" Klaus couldn't believe most people, especially those in the authority.

"I'll be fine." Soapy pleaded with the two sad-faced elders in a coquettish tone, "I can take care of myself, don't worry!"

Klaus and Elijah looked at each other.

Elijah shook his head.

Klaus frowned.

Elijah pointed to his head.

Su Bi was confused by the silent conversation between the two. She could not understand the tacit understanding between the two brothers for hundreds of years, but it was certain that the two were talking about her and did not want to be heard by her.

"What are you talking about?" Soapy spread his hands, "Can't you say it in front of me?"

"You are only allowed to leave home one day a week. You must be accompanied when you go out, Rebecca or us." Klaus's tone was irrefutable.

Soapy drooped his head aggrievedly: "Okay!" At worst, he would sneak out!At any rate, let's promise first not to worry the second elder.

As soon as Soapy left, Elijah asked Klaus in a low voice: "Are you crazy? You actually want to erase Soapy's memory of American soldiers. Nick, I know you care about Soapy, but we are not qualified to do so. Her life belongs to her, and we can protect her, but we cannot interfere and manipulate her."

"Come on, don't you still want me to control the American soldiers? It's fair to him?" Klaus raised his chin, laughing at his brother's sanctimoniousness.

Elijah leaned against the cabinet and played with the beads in his hand, and said coldly, "It's not the same thing. He is an outsider, and Soapy is a family member."

"When I have to, I will still choose to do that." Klaus suddenly realized: "Elija, I overheard the conversation between Freya and that Batman yesterday, and our eldest sister probably fell. Why? Girls in our family can't be with vampires like Rebecca?"

"Don't forget. When Rebecca fell in love with Marcel for the first time, he was not a vampire." Elijah said.

"We should introduce some handsome vampires to them." Klaus suddenly became interested: "I'll go find them now."

***

"Prom?" Freya and Soapy asked in unison.

Rebecca, the party queen entrusted by Klaus, jumped up for joy. They have suffered several hardships over the years, and it has been a long time since they had a happy carnival. "Yes, the dance party. Klaus invited many vampires who lived in seclusion in New York. We met and discussed how to deal with the witch's coven. Ah——" Rebecca happily started planning: "We have to start ordering dresses Yes, but have to think about a prom theme before that. My God! I'm so happy."

Freya looked indifferent, and Soapy was not in high spirits.The enemy is present, and New York is in chaos. Is it really suitable for carnival now?

"When?" Soapy made an appointment to meet Sweetheart the day after tomorrow, fearing that there would be a time conflict.

Fearing what might happen, Rebecca recalled: "Oops, it's the night after tomorrow. We have to hurry up."

"I..." Soapy wanted to explain and ask if he could not participate, but Rebecca's enthusiasm was so high that it was impossible to refuse.

Rebecca was in charge of getting the gowns done in an impossibly short amount of time.

Freya is recovering from a serious injury and is busy repairing the magic isolation layer. Hailey and Mrs. Hudson have to take turns to take care of Hope. Soapy and Laura will naturally arrange the dance scene.

Rebecca's orders were constantly being brought into the house.

"Laura, have you ever held a dance?" Soapy looked at the curtains, lanterns, and flowers in the box, helpless.

Laura, who had spent most of her life in the laboratory and on the run, shook her head.

"What did Rebecca say the theme was?" Soapy took out a beautifully carved candlestick from the case.

"Did she say that?"

Soapy gave up on himself and said: "Forget it, just let it go!"

She and Laura flew up and down, finally finding a place to buy everything for Rebecca, and finally the effect was impatient.

***

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the dance.

Soapy was pressed by Rebecca in front of the vanity mirror, and the corset on her body made her breathless.The theme of the ball is "Victoria". When she knew the theme, it was Rebecca who tightened the corset for her, as well as the oversized skirt that made her feet tired from walking. It was the first time she used such things as panniers. .

The pale green dress had one shoulder, and there were several layers of lace of the same color but a darker color around the shoulders. Soapy kept lifting the dress up.

"Don't touch my dear." Rebecca hung an antique teal pendant around Soapy's neck.

"Rebecca, I want to change. This one is showing my breasts." Soapy was still trying to pull the dress up.

Freya's clothes weren't too conservative either, she was dressed like a cake in a sleeveless off-the-shoulder gown. "I look like a prostitute in a high-end brothel from the last century."

Rebecca smiled and turned her head to look at her sister: "The appearance of the top girls in the brothel must be in line with the aesthetics of most men, and their dress is the best reference. Sister, abandon your frigid Clothes! Tonight is carnival night, there is no need to be a lady."

"Why do you have to dress yourself up like a man?" Rebecca's slightly curly hair was curled into big curls by Rebecca, and it was loosely tied with a turquoise headband. Intentionally or unintentionally, two strands of curly hair fell on the white and slender neck.

"Can you two cooperate a bit? After serving the two of you, I have to prepare desserts. I don't know if the frozen popsicles are any good." Rebecca put on a light and charming makeup for Soapy, and lifted her from the stool. He pulled it up and looked around, and said with satisfaction: "Our little Subi will be snatched up tonight for an invitation to dance."

"I can't dance..." Soapy was about to talk to Rebecca when the busy party queen had already rushed to the kitchen.

Soapy and Freya, one like a green cake, the other like a red cake, looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the invited guests arrived one after another.

There is a large dining table in the middle of the yard, with a small fountain of blood on the table, ice blood sticks with red wine in a glass container with ice cubes on the side, and blood pudding neatly displayed on a large plate arranged side by side.

There were very few guests, only seven men and two women.

Klaus, who put on a dress from the last century, looked extraordinarily noble and handsome. He walked up to Soapy with a cup of blood: "I really feel the horror of the witches' coven. After the decline of the blood race, the clansmen live in secret, but last time There were also thousands of people present at the party. This time, some old friends whom I haven’t seen for a long time were invited, and most of them died at the hands of witches.”

Soapy was eating a popsicle, looking at the deserted courtyard, she said sadly but firmly: "Blood for blood."

It is said to be a carnival, but the atmosphere has always been very low. The vampire guests who came told each other about the difficulty of survival and how their relatives and friends were killed.

What Rebecca wanted was not a tragedy.

Just when the atmosphere dropped to freezing point, some guests were about to cry with red eyes.

A man in a black long-tailed dress swaggered in from the door, followed by a group of young girls.

"Sorry for being late." The man hugged left and right, looking like a bohemian prodigal son.

Rebecca greeted happily: "Gen, I thought you died at the hands of the witch."

Genn let go of the two women in his arms, walked up to Rebecca and kissed her hands, and then said with a smile: "You almost hit the mark, those hyenas are everywhere." Genn and Michaelson The people at home greeted each other in a circle, and finally stopped in front of the unfamiliar Subi.

"Nick, why don't you introduce me?" Genn's eyes were almost glued to Subi, and he glanced at Subi intentionally or unintentionally since he entered the door, and almost perfunctorily greeted his old friend Michaelson family, and then Eagerly walked up to Soapy.

The original intention of Klaus holding the ball is to introduce excellent vampires to Freya and Soapy.But Gunn is definitely not among the best.Although he is the adopted son of Santher, the elder of the Vampire Alliance, this boy has been raped by the good man Santher for many years, and his character is still not very good.

"The daughter of an old man, Subi." Klaus felt that just knowing Genn would tarnish his family Subi, and whether Rebecca had any brains, this kind of person was also invited.Reluctantly, Klaus pointed to Gunn and introduced to Soapy: "Soapy, this is Gunn."

The music started, and Rebecca said loudly, "Enjoy this moment, ladies and gentlemen."

Klaus took Soapy to the dance floor before Gunn asked Soapy to dance, but was disturbed by Rebecca as soon as he stepped on the dance floor. Rebecca quietly replaced Soapy, and then asked While dancing, he asked his brother: "What are you doing? Aren't you introducing someone to Subby and sister tonight?"

"Gen?" Klaus looked disdainful: "Don't you know his love history? If only the American soldier and Gunn choose Suby, I will fully support the American soldier."

Soapy was left on the edge of the dance floor in a daze, and Gunn appeared in time to extend his hand to invite. "Did I have the honor to dance with you for half a song?"
