I didn't know you were such a vampire

On this day, after experiencing an unusually sunny day, Florence ushered in another beautiful night.When the cobalt blue night spread to the entire sky, it also brought a moonlight as bright as water.

The Lord's Square was brightly lit and full of people. Every window of the Lord's Palace was lit. Even from a distance, one could hear the sound of the harp and people's high-spirited chatting and laughing.Qiao Ya squatted on the roof of the loggia with her waist bent, observing the windows. She could see the figures passing through the windows. Fei's wine glass.

A ball is being held in the lord's palace.

Since Lorenzo passed away the year before and Piero became the new head of the Medici family and the actual ruler of Florence, this once prosperous and prosperous city gradually began to become chaotic.

One is that Piero himself is not good at management. The property of the Medici family has shrunk a lot under the hands of Lorenzo, and after one year of Piero's operation, it has gradually declined; He doesn't like politics. Compared with his father who likes to fund the construction of public facilities in the city and support artists, he is more addicted to holding grand balls in the various villas of the Medici family.

While the nobles in the lord's palace were drunk and dreaming, a few civilians passing by the loggia whispered: "Every day is a dance and reception. Sure enough, as Savonarola said, these nobles are hopeless."

Another said: "Sooner or later, the Medici family will be defeated by this worthless guy."

When Qiao Ya was about to probe to observe, one of them whispered: "There are guards!" The others immediately fell silent, lowered their heads and ran towards the alley, and after they left, there was a group of people holding torches. The night guards passed by here, and after they had inspected the area around the loggia, they lined up and walked into the alley.

Qiao Ya waited until the group of guards had left and made sure there was no one else around, then she jumped off the roof of the open gallery, ran to the side of the Lord's Palace, climbed up by the window sill.

Her body was pressed against the wall, bypassing the windows that were still lit, before she heard the footsteps of the guards, she just jumped in front of a dark window, and gently opened the window, in front of the guards. Jumped into this room before the torch came over.

She glanced around the room with the light from the window. This room is very in line with the aesthetic taste of the Medici family. It is luxuriously and expensively decorated. There are many high-back chairs leaning against the wall, but there is no bed. It should be It's not a bedroom, it's more like a lounge.

She walked to the door and put her ear against the crack of the door, trying to hear the movement outside the door, but she heard bursts of melodious music, as well as the sound of boots and high platform shoes stepping on the floor.It seems that this place is not far from the banquet hall where the dance is held.

When she was thinking about how to sneak out, she heard a rather stern voice not far from the door: "Monica."

Qiao Ya was stunned for a moment, only thinking that the name sounded familiar, but after the girl named Monica responded respectfully, she remembered that Arturo's bitter first love that was always on the lips, no Is it the maid of the Medici family, named Monica?

She didn't know if there was a second Monica in the Medici family, but she still held her breath and concentrated on eavesdropping on the movement outside the house.

The person who stopped Monica was an elderly woman with a haughty tone, and her status should not be low. If she was a guest of this ball, she probably didn't know Monica, or in a very tough way. The tone ordered Monica, so this person should be a member of the Medici family.

Qiao Ya counted the members of the Medici family she knew on her fingers, but she hardly stayed at home when she lived in Florence, and she only got acquaintance with the Medici family from Arturo's few words.

After Monica responded, the older lady asked after a long wait, "Where's Piero?"

Monica whispered: "The lord is drunk, and I'm about to cook a bowl of vegetable soup."

When the lady heard this, her voice became deeper: "Got it."

After she finished speaking, Qiao Ya heard a series of slow footsteps, and the series of footsteps went in another direction, getting farther and farther away. Monica seemed to stand there for a long time before sighing softly. Pass by the door where Qiao Ya is, and then go in the opposite direction to the lady.

After the footsteps of the two could hardly be heard, Qiao Ya opened the door a crack, and the light outside the room, as well as music and laughter, poured in. As soon as she took a step outside, she heard another series of footsteps. Immediately dodged back to the house, and at the same time shut all the light and sound out of the door.

Different from the lady of the Medici family and Monica, the footsteps this time were disorderly and of different shades, accompanied by heavy panting. Judging from these sounds, it was probably someone who passed by this time. Two people.

The sound of footsteps stopped before the door, and Qiao Ya stepped back reflexively, retreating into the gap between the wall and the door, and the next moment, the door was almost knocked open from the outside, two tall men The young people supported each other and stumbled into the room. One was groping for a candlestick on the table, and the other simply fell headlong on the floor.

And when they bumped in, Qiao Ya also smelled a very pungent smell of alcohol.

It is rare to see someone so drunk at an aristocratic ball.

The young man who still insisted on standing finally gave up groping for the candlestick, but also lay down on the ground, panting heavily, and said: "Piero, you have become fatter and fatter after becoming the lord, I I can hardly hold you anymore."

Although the man's drunken speech was somewhat blurred, Qiao Ya still recognized that this man was Aonzo, the nobleman who participated in Piero's rally a year ago. The one on the ground is the target mission of her trip, Piero Medici.

Piero seemed to be a little out of his mind, and while he denied it weakly, he grabbed the chair by the wall with one hand and tried to stand up.Probably because he looked too embarrassed at this time, Aonzo couldn't bear to let others see that the current ruler of the Medici family couldn't even stand up, so he also supported the wall and walked towards the door: "I will replace you first." You close the door."

And just as he closed the door, he felt a cold and sharp blade against his neck.

At this moment, no matter how much Aangzuo drank, he woke up from the hazy drunkenness. He shook his body first, and when he was about to turn around, he heard a young boy's voice in a low voice. A voice came from behind him: "Don't turn your head, be careful to insert your neck into it."

Hearing this, his body froze immediately, and even his breathing became cautious.

The boy continued: "Don't worry, I will not kill you, nor will I kill the lord. I want you to go out now and bring in the vegetable soup that the maid cooked for the lord. You can’t tell anyone else. If you don’t come back, or if the guards come back with you, then when you sleep in your own bed tomorrow night, my Hidden Blade will be directly stuck in your neck.”

Aonzo was taken aback for a moment, then stammered: "My lord, he..."

"Don't worry, I guarantee that he will still be in charge of the Medici family tomorrow morning." The boy behind him replied.

Aonzo didn't dare to turn his head, so he could only glance at Piero out of the corner of his eye. Piero, who was so drunk, was already lying on the chair and fell asleep.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet, opened the door, and walked out the door stiffly.

As soon as he went out, Qiao Ya immediately closed the door, put away the Hidden Blade, and walked quickly to Piero, without noticing how deeply Piero was sleeping, and directly squatted down/body, holding it with one hand. On Piero's shoulder, a thumb nail slammed into Piero's middle, and then before Piero screamed, he took the lead in covering his mouth tightly.

As the heir of the Medici family, Piero, who was pampered and pampered since he was a child, probably never suffered such torture. He was sleeping soundly, but was awakened by the pain, and he was covered back in his mouth before he could scream. Opening his tear-filled eyes, he saw a boy in a white hood who couldn't see his face squatting in front of him. When he was about to scream again, he was threatened viciously by the other party: "If you scream again, I will kill you!" .”

Only then did Piero suppress the urge to scream, stared at the lower half of the opponent's face under the hood, and nodded.

Qiao Ya exhaled, let go of Piero's hand, then fell back, simply sat on the ground facing Piero, and at the same time pulled down the hood on her head so as not to Piero recognized her.

She adjusted her tone, her voice was a little cold, and she asked Piero, "Have you calmed down?"

Piero nodded.

While her mind was quickly preparing for the questions she would ask from Piero later, she confirmed whether Piero was sane: "Are you sober?"

Piero nodded, paused, and shook his head again.

Qiao Ya kind of understood why Caius was always impatient with this person. She tried her best to keep the face calm and asked, "Then are you sober or not?" She said Then, he shook his right hand, and the Hidden Blade protruded out with a "shua", and the bright blade light just hit Piero's eye socket.

And Piero was not frightened by her Hidden Blade, but exhaled a breath, and said lightly: "I think I'm sober from the pain, but I don't think I'm sober yet." He looked at Qiao Ya with a smile , "Otherwise, how could I see you again in my dream, my good friend, Caius."

Qiao Ya: "...?"

The author has something to say: Piero: I must be dreaming to see you again, my good friend Caius.

Joya:? ? ?

Joya to Caius: So, you two... don't you...you know what I mean...

Caius: I beat Piero!
