After Lucrezia made a marriage contract with Count Pesaro, she moved with her aunt Adriana and Julia from the Orsini Palace to the newly built Maria del Portico Palace, and Joya stayed in the Vatican. After a while, I found out the specific location of the Del Portico Palace. This newly built palace is not far from the Pope's Palace. According to the drunks in the tavern in Rome, there is a secret passage between the two palaces. It is convenient for the Pope to visit his daughter and have a private meeting with his young mistress Julia.

The wedding will start from the Del Portico Palace. The bride’s brother and the queue sent by the pope will greet the bride in full costume at the gate of the palace. After a lap of the Vatican, they will come to the residence of Pope Alexander VI in the Pope’s Palace. A grand and solemn ceremony.

Qiao Ya's original plan was to blend in with the crowd during the queue, and take a look at the little sister who was about to get married from a distance, but on the eve of the wedding, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, worse than the bride herself. Be nervous.When she opened her eyes wide and stared at the ceiling for an unknown amount of time, she heard a sound on the window sill. She thought it was raindrops hitting the window, but she didn't expect that as soon as her eyes moved to the window, she saw a sound behind the window glass. Pale figure.

Having lived in Volturi Castle for such a long time, she was no longer frightened by the pale figure that suddenly appeared outside the window.

Qiao Ya stared at the pale figure outside the window for a long time, then sighed, lifted the quilt, got up and got out of bed, walked slowly to the window, and opened it.

The drizzle of the rainy night and the chill brought by Caius poured into the room together. Qiao Ya couldn't help but sneezed. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Since the weather turned cold, Joya would be woken up by him freezing in the middle of the night, so after friendly negotiation, Caius reluctantly agreed to come to drill her quilt after the weather warmed up.

"You don't sleep most of the night, you keep tossing and turning, it's so noisy." Caius, who was covered in rainwater, half-knelt on the window sill, stared at Qiao Ya, and said ferociously.

Qiao Ya felt that the old guy was just looking for trouble, she stared and said, "Did you sleep because of the noise?"

"Yes." Caius looked serious.

Qiao Ya began to ponder whether she, an evil human being, had brought this upright vampire warrior, who had been pure for nearly 2000 years, into ruin during this period of time, and he began to lie expressionlessly.

Fortunately, the hotel where they lived was relatively remote, and no one would see a disciple in a black robe squatting on the window sill, or else the guards from the city of Rome would trot over with torches in a short time.

After a while, Qiao Ya said, "I was thinking, what if it still rains tomorrow."

"Will the wedding be postponed because of the rain?" Caius asked.

Qiao Ya shook her head and said, "I know my father. A crucial political marriage will not be canceled because of a rain. At worst, the queue and the bride will be in a mess." She simply jumped into the Sitting beside Caius on the window sill, his legs were dangling in the mid-air outside the window.

"I want to ask Lucrecia what she means." Qiao Ya turned her head and looked at Caius, her gray-blue eyes were a little brighter because of this sentence, "Since I learned the news, I have always been Falling into hatred for myself, I didn't want to marry Count Pesaro, so I feigned death to escape, but I didn't expect that this marriage was not the marriage contract between "I" and "Count Pesaro" from the beginning to the end, but it was Bo The marriage between the Gia family and the Sforza family, without me, will naturally have other victims."

"I pushed Lucrecia into the fire pit myself." After Qiao Ya finished speaking, a drop of rain fell on the back of her hand. She paused, looked down at the water drop on the back of her hand, and said, "So I'm going to Ask Lucrecia if she will come with me."

Caius looked at her, lowered his eyes, turned his head again, and looked at the empty alley under their feet.

During this period of time, Joya's hair has grown a lot longer. Since the beginning of winter, the continuous rainy days have made her complexion whiter. However, she is no longer the lady of the Borgia family, and she does not have complicated and gorgeous hair. Ornaments, and no fancy skirts.Her hair was braided into a long braid, hanging from the back of her head to her shoulders, and she was wearing the most ordinary dress. At this moment, she was one of the most ordinary girls in Rome.

But what she experienced and thought about was beyond the reach of many people in this era.

"Then have you ever thought that your sister may be different from you?" Caius said, "You spent so much effort to escape from the Vatican. If you go back like this, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into a trap?"

"Then I am also different from my father. I will listen to what they want." After Qiaoya finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Caius and said with a smile, "And there is you, so I believe I will not dangerous."

She knew that her words were a trump card, so after she finished speaking, she blinked at Caius, while Caius pursed his lips and turned his face to the other side.Qiao Ya, a veteran Caius facial expression reading expert, knew that this old guy was shy.

She laughed a few times, reached out and patted Caius' hard shoulder: "Tomorrow, I will rely on you, Elder Law Enforcement, to protect me."

Caius snorted, and before he could speak, Qiao Ya spoke again: "I've been frozen to death, please come back, Elder Law Enforcement." In order to strengthen the credibility of this sentence, she This sentence was followed by a very loud sneeze.

Caius' face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and this time he didn't even offer "huh" as a gift. After Qiao Ya blinked, she found that there was no one beside her.

She touched her nose again, and felt that she had offended this narrow-minded vampire.

The day Lucrezia and Count Pesaro held their wedding was a rare sunny day in the rainy city of Rome. When the first ray of sunshine penetrated into the city in the morning, the traces of rain left on the ground from the previous night were still there. Not entirely clear, the early children laughed loudly, trampling the stagnant water on the ground, creating a tiny rainbow in mid-air.

Qiao Ya, who barely fell asleep in the middle of the night after the disaster the day before, only slept for two or three hours, then got up from the bed again, put on the assassin robe, and jumped out of the window of the hotel room. He had already stepped on the roof of a small building opposite the hotel, looking around.

Although the day before Lucrecia was thinking that she would be in a bad mood if it rained heavily when she got married, but when she woke up early in the morning and found the morning light was bright, she still had a headache.Although the rain affects people's mood, it also affects people's sight, making it easier for her to sneak into Delportico Palace.

When the children on the street corner were stepping on the stagnant water, she jumped to the other side, and among the children playing in a ball, a seven or eight-year-old girl found a flash of white water in the puddle. In the reflection, she raised her head to look at the eaves where the white shadow was passing by, and she could only see the chimney of the Sistine Holy See in the Vatican going deep into the blue sky in the distance.

The servants of Del Portico Palace got up and got busy before dawn, and the two personal maids of Lucrezia Borgia even prepared her wedding dress and all the other things shortly after dawn. Ornament, knelt and sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for the lady to get up.

Not long after dawn, Adriana came to Lucrecia's house, knocked on the door, and asked, "Miss, are you up?"

"Not yet," said one of the maids.

"Wake her up soon." Adriana frowned. "Today is a bit special, so I can't let her mess around."

The maid who answered had just responded, and Lucrecia's immature voice came from within the curtain: "You guys go out first, I want to change myself into a wedding dress myself today."

Adriana frowned: "Lucrecia..."

Before she had time to say the next thing, Lucrecia said with a little coquettishness: "Please, Adriana, I have expected this from a long time ago, and you also know that I practiced braiding hair by myself a month ago." And getting dressed, that's my biggest dream."

Lucrecia thought she was good at acting coquettishly to older elders, and both Rodrigo and Adriana liked her trick very much. Adriana just thought about it for a while, then surrendered and said, "Come out! Let the lady dress and braid her own hair." She laughed again, "Anyway, it's still early, if she really can't do it, she can still make up for it."

"Adriana!" the girl said angrily, making Adriana smile outside the door.

And after the maids got the order to leave the room and close the door, the bed curtain trembled slightly, and Qiao Ya, who was dressed in a white assassin robe, rolled off the bed. The red velvet dress on the back, she approached a little closer, observed the dress carefully, and found that the cuffs and the corners of the skirt were inlaid with mink hair, so she laughed and said: "Lucrecia, it seems that your marriage The clothes are by Adriana, she loves mink fur."

Lucrecia sat up from the bed, grabbed her golden hair with both hands, and then looked at Qiao Ya, with surprise and doubt in her eyes.

"Joya?" she asked. "Are you really Joya? Or is it just my dream that you're back for my wedding?"

Qiao Ya smiled and looked sideways at her: "Don't you believe it?"

"But, but..." Lucrecia rubbed her eyes again, "But both Cesare and Juan said..."

"That I'm dead?" Qiao Ya asked.

Lucrecia frowned, pouted, exhaled, and said, "At that time, the Tiber River was so big that I felt scared standing on the bank...so they all said...all said you were dead."

"You can also say that." Qiao Ya shrugged, "Anyway, I went to Half-Life."

"But you are still alive, why don't you come back?" Lucrecia stood up from the bed, looked at Qiao Ya in disbelief, and cried in her voice, "Do you know how sad father is, Juan cried For many days, I also..." Her voice suddenly stopped when her eyes moved to the white hood on Qiao Ya's head.

Joya slowly walked up to Lucrecia, reached out and stroked her light blonde hair, and said, "I'm sorry, I know, I made you sad, but... this is a choice I have to make." She After a pause, he said, "I came here this time to ask you if you would like to come with me."

Lucrecia looked up at her and blinked: "Come with you?"

"Yes, it's because of me that you got married at such a young age." Qiao Ya smiled, "I still remember you said when you were a child that you were waiting for Eurydice of Orpheus. You don't want to marry Count Pesaro, I will take you away and take you to your Orpheus."
