I didn't know you were such a vampire

His voice was very soft, compared to the words that Caius squeezed out from between his fangs, he was more like an aristocratic young man sitting on the chair of a banquet, waving a wine glass and talking, but even if he No matter how bright her smile was, and no matter how soft her voice was, Qiao Ya would not lower her vigilance. Instead, she felt the hairs on her back stand on end.

Since Juan was poisoned by drinking a glass of wine that belonged to Rodrigo when he was a child, Rodrigo has attached great importance to the safety of these children.And when Joya went to Florence for the first time, Rodrigo told her that although he was the vice chancellor of the Vatican and had a high position and authority, how many people inside and outside the Vatican wanted his life, and those who accompanied him, Even his children are in extreme danger.

"Gioia, Pope Innocent is critically ill now, and the cardinals of various factions are scrambling to move. They are calm on the surface, but treacherous in the dark. Your identity is very sensitive, so the whole of Florence, except for Martina and her later husband, No third person can know that you are my daughter."

When Joya proposed to Rodrigo to go to Florence to visit the present whom she had never met before, Rodrigo sat behind the desk against the light and said so earnestly.

And Joya took this very seriously, she never mentioned her surname to anyone else, and people she met later, such as Piero's people, could only tell from her accent that she was from Rome, and when asked When asked which family she came from, she just smiled, and then took the topic to other places.

Even to Caius, she never told him her identity.

However, when Ah Luo officially met her for the first time, he told her with a decent smile that he had completely uncovered her deeply hidden secret.

Probably because the terrified expression on Qiao Ya's face was too obvious at this time, Ah Luo's smile became softer, and he reached out to pat Qiao Ya on the shoulder, but Qiao Ya saw his movement earlier, and calmly Take a step back.He was stunned for a while, but he didn't feel embarrassed because his hands were frozen in mid-air. Instead, he smiled and said, "Miss Qiao Ya, you don't have to be afraid, I have no malicious intentions."

Qiao Ya frowned and looked at him: "If there is no malice, why did you go back to investigate my life experience? Are you just curious?"

Ah Luo laughed, "It's really curiosity." Seeing Qiao Ya's suspicious expression, he continued, "Miss Qiao Ya must already know the real identity of Caius, right?"

Qiao Ya hesitated for a while, then nodded.

"You hesitated, why?" Ah Luo asked with a smile.

"I know that vampires don't want too many people to know their existence." Joya paused, "Caius also said that he can't tell anyone."

Hearing this, Ah Luo laughed twice, and then asked: "Then Miss Joya knows what kind of role Caius is in the Volturi family?"

What kind of role?

Joya frowned. In her perception, the Volturi should be no different from the families in the human world. In the human world, the Medici family ruled Florence, and the Sforza ruled Milan. In the world of vampires, the Volturi family ruled the city of Voltra.

As for the specific roles assigned to this family whose members are all vampires, she is not clear, and from the attitude of Caius, it should be hoped that she will stay as far away from the vampire world as possible, so naturally she is not Will act as a patient docent.

Aro probably saw the blankness in her eyes, and explained with a smile: "The Volturi was founded by me, Caius, and our brother Marcus, as for the year it was established... sorry , time has passed too long, and I can’t remember. All in all, I only remember that a major event happened in that year. Caesar was assassinated by the Senate, the whole Rome fell into mourning and chaos, and Caius cut I bought an umbrella pine in my yard."

Qiao Ya was stunned, Caesar was assassinated by the members of the Senate at that time, it was in 44 BC.

"Although Caius looks young, he is actually a battle-tested soldier. Probably the battlefield can best temper a person's will and execution. He usually looks bad-tempered, and few people dare to provoke him, but I know, he is very self-disciplined and will not kill anyone who should not be punished by the law..." Ah Luo said, then suddenly remembered something, and added lightly, "Oh, there should be exceptions, almost Hundreds of years ago, a few werewolves with no eyesight attacked him together, and in a fit of rage, he led the Volturi guards to kill all the werewolves he could find, and now the werewolves in Europe are probably extinct."

Joya: "..."

It turns out that Caius said that "there are no werewolves in Europe anymore".

"Speaking of which, Ms. Qiao Ya should understand what kind of role Caius plays in the Volturi family, right?" Luo looked at Qiao Ya with a smile.

Qiao Ya hesitated, and said, "He is... the law enforcer?"

The smile on Ah Luo's face became wider: "Yes, the law enforcer."

"Like the human world, the vampire world also has its own laws. Those who expose their identities in public will be executed; those who hunt excessively regardless of the situation and attract human attention will be executed; those who create bloodthirsty devil children will be executed." Luo looked at Qiao Ya , slowed down the speed of speech, "And humans who know the existence of vampires must either become similar to vampires, or... die."

Qiao Ya felt her heart beating heavily, she let out a breath, looked up at Ah Luo again, and said, "But I..."

"Yes, Caius, who has always been selfless, harsh and ruthless, neither turned you into a vampire, nor killed you." Aro stretched out his right hand with a white glove, and pointed at Joya, "This is what I will do. The reason for being curious about Miss Joya."

Only then did Qiaoya know why Caius had been emphasizing to her that she should not let others know that she knew the existence of the vampire world, because once others knew that she was an insider, according to the law of vampires, she would have no choice but to die anyway.

She tried her best to calm down her emotions, looked straight into A Luo's red eyes, and said, "However, this is between me and Caius, how did Mr. A Luo know?"

Ah Luo smiled: "I thought Caius had already told you."

Qiao Ya wanted to continue asking, but Ah Luo had already turned around and walked slowly to the open window sill.

It was late at night, and the lights of the city were dimmer, but the moonlight was also brighter.Ah Luo stood sideways by the window, the moonlight shone all over him, reflecting a hazy silver light on his side face.Qiao Ya had seen the same scene on Caius before. The sun seemed to be crushed and spread all over his naked/exposed skin, so dazzling that it blurred the outline of his whole body, making him She thought that the next moment he would become one with the sun and melt into every corner of the world.

This is probably one of the lesser-known traits of vampires.

Vampires are indeed as beautiful as the legends say, but they also follow the principle that the more beautiful things in nature are the more dangerous. Even a boy like Caius with pure and exquisite facial features like an angel can twist another vampire's neck with his bare hands. neck.

"I haven't been to Florence for many years, but this time I have a different feeling..." Ah Luo looked out the window at the city that had fallen into a deep sleep, and said with emotion.

The watery moonlight did not soften Ah Luo's aggression, but Qiao Ya was not as flustered as he was when he revealed his identity. She stared at his back for a long time and said, "Then Ah Luo Mr. Luo's visit to Florence this time should not only be to see a city that he hasn't seen for a long time, right? Are you going to turn me into a vampire, or are you going to kill me?"

A Luo turned to look at her, smiled and shook his head: "Miss Joya, don't think of me as a bad person, law enforcement is Caius' business, I won't find something to do by myself." Eyebrows, said, "Besides, if I really overstep the bounds, Caius may really kill me—this is not a joke."

He turned around and walked towards Qiao Ya, as if telling a story, slowed down his speech, and said, "I haven't been to Florence for a long time, and the closest time I was to Florence was last winter. At that time, it rained the most, and homicides occurred one after another at the junction of Florence and Voltra City. I heard that someone created a bloodthirsty devil child——Miss Qiaoya should not know that the bloodthirsty devil child refers to some vampires who will not be born. The wise children are made into vampires, and these children who have no concept of right and wrong are very powerful, and have no self-control ability, and are in danger of being exposed at any time, so the vampire law strictly prohibits the appearance of bloodthirsty devil children."

"At that time, Caius just returned to Florence to deal with some matters. After getting the news, I took Jane and set off from Voltera, met Caius at the junction between the two places, and captured the bloodthirsty demon who made it. He justified that he saw the child struggling to the point of death, he couldn't bear it, and wanted to give the child eternal life. But Caius decisively twisted his head off, and then in the basement of the house where he was hiding , found that bloodthirsty devil boy."

As Luo said, he glanced at Qiao Ya, and Qiao Ya became inexplicably nervous.

"Miss Joya, do you think Caius at this time is the stern and selfless Volturi law enforcement elder? Or Mr. Caius who knows the law and broke the law and spared you?" He asked in such a light tone.

And Qiao Ya's hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched tightly.

A Luo smiled and said: "He asked Jane and me to leave, and he took care of the rest. Of course, when Jane and I returned to that room, there were no Caius and the bloodthirsty demon inside." Tong’s figure disappeared, and Caius claimed that he had torn up the bloodthirsty demon boy and burned it to ashes, this is probably the first time that Caius, the always strict and ruthless law enforcement elder, did not execute the death row prisoner on the spot.” He paused, "Speaking of which, Miss Qiao Ya has already guessed."
