Quick Travel: The host must die in every plane

Under the white cloth is an oil painting, which is a portrait of a family of four.

In the portrait, the father and mother are sitting together, and the mother is holding a three or four-year-old boy in her arms.

The father in the oil painting looks stern and unsmiling, while the mother is beautiful, generous and radiant.

Next to the mother stood a little boy of about seven or eight years old. The boy's familiar eyebrows were clearly that of Duke Eric when he was a child.

So what is painted in this painting should be Duke Eric's father, mother, and younger brother.

Judging from their clothes, they should be ancient European aristocratic clothes.

The four members of the family in the painting all appear to have normal skin colors, so they must have been human when the painting was painted.

So why did Duke Eric become a vampire?

Where are his family members?

With these doubts, Su Ye lifted off all the white cloths on the remaining wooden shelves one by one.

Underneath the white cloth are all oil paintings.

Every oil painting is of this family of four.

Although there is no year marked on the oil paintings, you can tell from the obvious changes in the growth of the two little boys in the paintings that the year of each oil painting is different.

There are about a dozen paintings in this room, which almost record the entire process of the Eric brothers from childhood to adolescence and then to youth.

When he was a child, his younger brother would be held in his mother's arms and protected, and Duke Eric could only stand by and look at his younger brother with envy.

When he was a boy, his younger brother would hold his mother's hand affectionately, and his mother's loving eyes would only fall on him.

Duke Eric is always standing on the side, the most easily overlooked position.

Therefore, judging from the position of the characters in the painting, it is obvious that the younger brother is the favored one.

These paintings outline a very complete but completely different growth line for these brothers who share the same mother.

Looking at the portraits all over the room, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of childhood Duke Eric spent.

He is the eldest son of a noble family, and from the moment of his birth, he is destined to bear more responsibilities than his other siblings. His family has huge wealth and high status, which makes everything he says and does attract attention.

His father had high hopes for him and hoped that he would become the pride and heir of the family, so he was extremely strict with his education and training.

The younger brother can be happy under the protection of his family and his mother's preference, grow up carefree and enjoy his own life.

But he can't. Every move he makes must be in line with the identity and status of a noble, and there can be no mistakes.

He cannot play freely like other children and cannot express his emotions and thoughts like other children. He must maintain dignity and elegance at all times and must not behave in any manner or manner.

If you were born in an ordinary family, you might be able to go out and make a living when you grow up, completely leaving that loveless family.

But he was born into a noble family. As the eldest son, he was bound to bear more pressure and couldn't help but make every move.

She couldn't imagine how suffocating it would be to live in such a family, with a strict father, a mother who only cared about her younger brother, and a younger brother who had been doted on.

Thinking of this, Su Ye felt a little sad. She couldn't help but reach out and touch the lonely boy in the painting, feeling sad for the poor child.

If possible, she hoped to hug him and let him know that she was worthy of being loved.

Suddenly, a big cold hand came up, completely covering her hand that was on the painting.

Su Ye was frightened, turned around suddenly, and met Duke Eric's deep blue eyes.

"You, why are you here? Aren't you asleep?"

Looking at Su Ye who was as frightened as a bird, Duke Eric curled his lips and chuckled: "My vigilance is not as bad as you think."

Seeing his appearance, Su Ye understood immediately.

No wonder all the rooms upstairs were unlocked. No wonder she could go upstairs so easily. It turned out that he had known she would come.

Usually in TV dramas, the person who discovers the secret of the big boss usually doesn't live long.

So Su Ye quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Lord Duke, I didn't know there was such a precious portrait in this room."

"Don't worry, I really just took a look, and I definitely didn't damage any of them."

Compared with the panicked Su Ye, Duke Eric looked extremely calm. Not only was he not angry, but he held her hand and carefully traced the painting of himself as a child.

"do you know who he is?"

This sudden question made Su Ye's head full of questions. Although she was confused, she still nodded.

Prince Eric continued to ask her: "Why do you look at him like that?"

"I……"

I just feel that he is a bit pitiful. Su Ye can't say this.

No one wants to be pitied, let alone a powerful vampire like Duke Eric.

But Su Ye didn't expect that Duke Eric would say what she didn't finish.

He said calmly: "Do you think he looks pitiful?"

Su Ye didn't dare to answer this question, so he continued talking on his own.

"Actually, I also feel very pitiful for him. He has been waiting all his life for a loving look from his mother."

"Would you like to hear this poor man's story?"

Although she really wanted to hear the story, she could tell from the look in his eyes that it must be a sad one. So she shook her head slightly.

"If this story makes you sad, then don't tell it. You don't need to think about sad things over and over again. It will only make you sadder."

Su Ye's answer exceeded Duke Eric's expectations.

In this city, everyone respected and feared him because of his status and ability, and no one cared whether he would be sad or not.

Because in the eyes of those people, Duke Eric is extremely respected and omnipotent. How could such a powerful figure be sad?

Su Ye was the first person to worry that he would be sad.

Duke Eric smiled slightly and said softly: "It doesn't matter. Some things will get boring if you hide them in your heart for too long. Maybe speaking out will make you feel more relaxed."

Then, Su Ye heard the story from a thousand years ago in Duke Eric's deep voice.

Two thousand years ago, there were no vampires in this city, and it was not a so-called vampire city.

At that time, Transinia was still a beautiful, wealthy city.

Duke Eric's father is the lord of this city. He holds the power of life and death in the city and protects all the people in the city.

Until one day, a group of vampires broke into the city.
