silent in the black lake

"I've memorized this dance step," he said, "if you make a mistake at night, I'll lock you back up."

He held my waist again, held my hand tightly, and said with some concern: "Do it again." As soon as the words fell, he led me to dance again without any explanation.

"What kind of dance is this?" I asked. This dance is very elegant. Although the dance steps of the two parties are different, they are closely combined, and there is a sense of beauty that blends together.

"Xiusi, our night clan's exclusive dance" he said, but suddenly there were ripples in his black eyes, as if recalling something

"It's a dance of two men" I say what I guess

He didn't answer, but suddenly stared at me, with an unknown emotion in his black eyes, which made me understand what he was thinking instantly

"You danced this dance with Honor" I lowered my eyes and said, not a question but an affirmation

"Noel, you can be really self-righteous sometimes" he sneered

But when I heard his answer, my heart moved. I raised my eyes and looked at him, only to see him twitching his lips and saying, "Aonor never dances with any of us."

He suddenly felt a little obviously lost, "I've only seen Onor dance this dance once, with another Night Clan"

What he said shocked me. I always thought that he and Honor were in love with each other. It seems that he is one-sided. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little inexplicably happy

"Be serious, you want to be locked up, huh?" He suddenly tightened my waist and said

Only then did I realize that I had done a wrong dance step, and I no longer wanted to catch up with his rhythm. He took me through the dance and danced a few more times with anxiety, until I took the initiative to say that I remembered it. Let go of me, then call in the servants, let the servants take me to clean up

It was already dark when the servant tidied me up as he asked. I had just walked out of the room when I saw him turn from the window. He was wearing a finely cut dress and a purple gemstone in his tie, standing in the moonlight. Bright and Dazzling, Quiet and Tranquil

He stared at me, his bottomless black eyes were a little bright, and they seemed to be shining under the moonlight. The black lake in his eyes seemed to reflect a little bit of starlight, and it looked like it was full of stars

But suddenly there was an unknown emotion in his eyes, and he strode towards me

This emotion always makes me sad, I took a step back subconsciously, but he grabbed my hand, pressed it to his lips, stared at me and kissed, the emotion became complicated in an instant, making me even more incomprehensible bottom of black lake

"Noel, you're so pretty" he said, looking at me intently

But these words made me even more sad, because I knew that he was looking at Honor, so I withdrew my hand, lowered my head and said, "Let's go."

His castle is really big. He took me to turn left in the castle and walked around for a while before I came to an unusually tall and gorgeous gate. , but these gems are not messy, but form a four-leaf clover, making this luxurious gate look a little innocent

The servants on both sides opened the door respectfully, and in an instant a luxurious hall with golden light appeared in front of my eyes, which was several times bigger than the resplendent room I lived in. The golden zenith was full of various paintings. , but they are all mainly black and gold, and a huge and complicated crystal lamp hangs in the center of the zenith, making the hall as bright as day

There are many tables in the hall, and the tables are filled with all kinds of snacks and drinks. On the table in the middle is an unusually huge nine-tiered cake. There is a lot of purple cream on the cake, and there are many purple four leaf grass

Probably seeing that I was standing still, he suddenly grabbed my hand and dragged me along the red carpet on the ground

As we entered, the slightly noisy hall suddenly quieted down. In the hall, luxuriously dressed, pale-skinned men and women who were as handsome as elves all stopped what they were doing, looked in my direction solemnly, and bowed neatly , of course i know they are looking at him

"Lord Linton" a unanimous voice in the hall

It turned out that his name was Linton, I subconsciously remembered

He took me unhurriedly to the innermost part of the hall. It turned out that behind the cake there was a place with superior terrain, where a luxurious and spacious throne was placed.

He sat on the throne, pulled me into his arms and sat down, raised his eyebrows, glanced expressionlessly at the men and women below, and waved his hands, those handsome men and women stood up and continued to clink glasses and whisper

"Is it your birthday?" I looked at him and asked, looking at the big cake, it was not difficult to guess that it was his birthday

"Yeah," he replied casually, seeming a little unhappy

"They celebrate for you, aren't you happy?" I asked cautiously. The three years of experience with him told me that when he was unhappy, I should try to provoke him as little as possible, but his obvious unhappiness made me quite curious.

"Celebration?" He sneered, and suddenly looked at the men and women below and said loudly, "Are you here to celebrate me?"

The hall fell silent in an instant, as if he could hear the displeasure in his voice, the men and women were a little silent, and stood there bowing their knees

"It seems that you are not here to celebrate me?" He chuckled. Although the laughter was very soft, it was very clear in this hall. The figures of the men and women below trembled visibly, and their heads were buried even lower. , some even fell to their knees and prostrated themselves on the ground

"Lord Linton, I'm here to celebrate you." A small and trembling voice suddenly appeared. Although it was very faint, it was very clear in such a quiet hall. At the same time as the voice appeared, all the men and women in the lower place turned aside. move, revealing a prostrate man

"Oh? Say it again" he said, suddenly turned back to my face, stretched out his fingers and curled to play with the bundle of hair he trimmed on my forehead

"I, I'm here to celebrate for you." The man seemed flustered and stuttered

He suddenly stopped talking, stared at me, gently curled and smoothed my forehead hair and repeated it several times before saying: "What are you celebrating for me?"

"For, for, for you, celebrate, celebrate, birthday" that person must be overly nervous and stuttered even more

"Oh, birthday is the day when you receive your first hug?" He asked, his tone seemed a little light, but I saw the gloomy accumulation in his black eyes, which was obviously a sign of anger

"Yes!" The man probably heard his relaxed tone, and immediately stopped stuttering, and answered very loudly

"But when I first embraced, I felt death." He chuckled again, "So you came to celebrate death for me, didn't you?"

The man was startled, "No, no, no, no..." He stuttered to the extreme, unable to speak completely

His face darkened in an instant, and he immediately interrupted the man and said quietly: "You celebrate my death!"

After he finished speaking, I heard the scream of the man behind him, but the sound soon disappeared, and the hall returned to silence. It seemed that I could even hear the sound of hair falling, "So you are all here to celebrate Am I dead?" His voice became deeper and deeper, and his eyes became darker

"Father, calm down." Suddenly a steady voice came from behind, "It's time to dance."

Hearing these words, his black eyes instantly calmed down, pinched my chin, stared at me with anticipation, and said, "It's time to dance, let's start!"

I think the Ye Clan with a steady voice behind him probably knows him very well, and he can resolve his displeasure with a simple sentence. I can't help but admire that Ye Clan

The hall was soon filled with melodious and lingering music, he eagerly pulled me to stand up, and dragged me to the center of the hall

The steady voice of "Father" sounded again. I searched for the sound and found that it was a handsome and personable young man. He had spotless white hair that was very eye-catching. "This is the Holy Dance," the young man said respectfully.

"I don't know?" He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the young man, a little displeased, "You want to remind me?"

"Father," another respectful young man came out from the side. This young man smiled, with a gentle feeling of smiling all the time. "After all, he is a human being," the young man said with a smile. His smile was very sunny, and he looked very warm and sincere

But suddenly his face turned cold, and he glanced at the young man's eyes, his black eyes filled with rage, the young man suddenly half-kneeled on the ground, trembling all over, "Father, calm down," the young man's voice trembled

"Get out, get out! Get out!" He suddenly roared, and all the men and women in the hall bowed their waists and lowered their heads, and retreated silently. The young man also stood up in relief, bowed his head and retreated out

After a while, only me and him were left in the huge hall, and the music was still going on. He immediately strangled my waist, held my hand, and led me to dance lightly

"Is First Embrace very close to death?" I asked, I was more concerned about what he meant when he said that First Embrace felt death. I know that vampires have a new reverence for First Embrace, but when he mentioned First Embrace, it seemed very strange. unhappy

"Why, do you want to be embraced for the first time?" He stared at me with a sneer, "You are not qualified now, you are not worthy of being a night clan"

"I absolutely, don't turn into a vampire" I said looking straight at him

I think my expression might be very disgusted, his face became gloomy again, he tightened my waist, leaned close to my face, and said faintly: "Is there any difference between you and a vampire who drank human blood?"

It’s okay not to mention this matter, but when I mention it, the guilt that can’t be eliminated immediately occupies my heart. I glared at him and roared: “You are simply despicable and unreasonable.”

It is clear that he forcibly pressed this guilt into my heart, but now he uses it to stimulate me and make me sad

I slammed his hand away, not wanting to continue dancing with this vampire, but he strangled me even tighter, grabbed my hand and clenched it tightly, and ordered: "Dance!"

This is an order, my legs immediately involuntarily follow his rhythm and continue to dance, I can't stop it

After the song was over, he and I gave each other a closing ceremony before it was completely over, and the control on my body disappeared. I immediately turned around and ran, not wanting to stay with this vampire for another moment, but before I could run a step, he suddenly threw I pulled back and hugged tightly, and then the sharp fangs pierced my neck

The sound of swallowing and heartbeat recombined into a louder and more rapid sound that echoed in my body, accompanied by continuous tingling, I suddenly felt a little dazed

After a long time, he suddenly said: "On the day of my first embrace, my heart was pierced by a human knife. If my father did not embrace me, I would have died."

"Died today more than 500 years ago"

This sentence made my heart tremble, all kinds of memories of the past three years flashed through my mind in a trance, but in my memory, he disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving me alone in that golden cage without seeing the light of day

Inexplicable sadness and fear came to my heart, I am ashamed of my emotions

Without him, I would not lose the memory of 17 years, and I would not experience this painful three years, but I am sad for his death and afraid of his disappearance

i should hate him

He suddenly hugged me horizontally and ordered: "Hold me tight"

I stopped thinking and hugged his neck subconsciously. I understood that this was another order. Then my vision flew away. The gold in front of my eyes suddenly turned black and then turned golden again. I knew he was moving with me, and the speed was very fast. , because the wind blowing across my face made me sore

However, after only a few breaths, the sight became clear, and I found that I had come to the kitchen

He put me down, handed a potato to my hand, and said, "Make me a bowl of mashed potatoes"

I was stunned, a bit at a loss holding the potatoes, but the black lake in his eyes was full of ripples, as if he was looking forward to it, and I seemed to be able to see the bottom of the lake clearly among the ripples

I made a bowl of mashed potatoes, which looked very ugly. I tasted it and said it was still palatable. I didn’t want to give this bowl of mashed potatoes to him. I could imagine that he would ridicule him after eating it, but But he stared at me with endless black eyes and ordered: "Hey me"

I involuntarily scooped up a spoon and handed it to his mouth. He opened his mouth to swallow, but his eyes kept staring at me.

The expected sarcasm did not appear, and an unknown emotion suddenly appeared in his eyes. This time I could recognize the emotion as sadness, and he said lightly: "Feed me and finish eating."

This is not an order, but I can't disobey it. I guess my sympathy is at work, because he looks very sad at the moment

Seeing that I didn't move, there was a flash of panic in his expression, "I'm very hungry" he said, with a hint of urging

I couldn't help scooping up another spoon and handed it to his mouth. Although he was still looking at me, he quickly opened his mouth and swallowed it, as if he was afraid that I would regret it and take it back.

It’s really like a child, a hungry child begging for food, I suddenly have a feeling, if I withdraw my hand at this moment, maybe he will really cry like a child, but I can’t imagine him crying

After all, I didn’t take back my hand, and fed him spoonful after spoonful. I thought it must be my sympathy, but when I put down the bowl, I felt very funny. Between me and him, it was clear that I was the one who needed to be sympathized. the one of

"Feed me clean," he said suddenly, I was taken aback, and subconsciously looked into the bowl, and found that some residual juice had flowed from the wall of the bowl and gathered at the bottom of the bowl

Probably seeing me stunned, he grabbed my hand and scooped up the remaining juice at the bottom of the bowl with a spoon, lowered his head and swallowed the remaining juice

I am a little surprised at his excessive pursuit of clean food, and I am deeply abnormal about his performance tonight. He rarely eats human food in front of me. Every time he eats, he grabs my tableware and eats it on a whim Take two bites, then throw the cutlery on the floor for me to pick up, as an excuse to taunt me

"It tastes good" He rarely praised me, but I doubted his taste, I don't agree with this evaluation, even though I did it

After eating, he looked obviously happy, and even the black lake in his eyes swayed with small waves, which slowly spread outward layer by layer, making me seem to see the edge of the black lake for a moment

"From now on, you will make it for me every birthday, understand" he ordered

"Understood," I answered subconsciously, and after answering, I felt that this order was ridiculous, like a child saying: From now on, you will give me a gift every year on my birthday

A child begging for gifts with a strong voice

"Birthday should be happier." I suddenly felt sorry for him and comforted him.

But he suddenly grabbed my neck with anger, stared at me and shouted angrily: "Who are you pitying? Remember clearly that you are just a toy, what right do you have to pity others?"

But the more he is like this, the more pitiful and pathetic I feel for him, probably because my expression shows my thoughts, he is even more furious, his sight flies away in an instant, and he has returned to the golden cage in a breath

He threw me into the familiar big bed, began to invade without any explanation, then vigorously broke away my hand that was holding the bed sheet tightly, pulled my arm and turned me over, stared at me, and asked with a sneer: "Who do you pity now?" "As he spoke, he struck again

I trembled all over, turned my head to the side and took a deep breath, but he suddenly turned my face and sneered: "Look at your current appearance, this is the real pity, but I will not pity you, because you are not worthy" After saying that, I let go of my arms, and I lay down on the bed again.

As he moved swiftly behind me, he said angrily: "How dare a human being pity a night clan, how dare a servant pity your master, how dare a toy pity your ruler" Suddenly he roared again: "I What is so pitiful, I have what I want, power, wealth, status, I have everything, all creatures will bow down and fawn on me when they see me, their life and death are only in my mind, I have eternal life, I have unlimited time to enjoy it all, what a pity I have"

"Don't look at me with pitiful eyes!" he ordered through gritted teeth

"Yes" I can't help but answer

After hearing my answer, he seemed to relax a bit, and his movements were slightly softer, "No one can kill me, no one, mother, human, father, night clan..." he said

Suddenly he fell on my back again, hugged me tightly, and said, "Noel, you can only love me, understand?"

This is not an order, and the pain he brought me on my body is constantly invading my mind, all of which make me not want to answer, and I don't know how to answer

He turned me over abruptly, seeing the rare panic in his black eyes, "Noel, Noel..." He kept calling, his eyes kept sweeping back and forth on my face, suddenly he just kiss my lips

But this kiss made me feel very painful, I subconsciously turned my face away, and saw his black eyes dimmed even more in the corner of my eye, swallowing up all my remaining energy

I close my eyes and sink into the depths of the black lake
