[Vampire Knight] Briar

— Kant (Critique of Pure Reason)

"Are you awake, Ryo? Did you sleep well?" It was already late at night when I woke up.The breath of calamus enveloped me, familiar but strange.

I jumped out of his arms and stood three or four inches away from the bed. "Tell me, who are you?" I felt that my voice was very calm, so calm that it seemed a little cold.

Calamus sat up from the bed as I got up.

He didn't seem to have changed much, he still had long forest green hair and was wearing a plaid shirt that was homely and casual.

He looked up and looked at me innocently.Only then did I realize that there are still some changes. For example, the lines of his face have become clearer, and now he looks like a very mature man, unlike before, he still has a soft feeling like a teenager.

"Cool, be good. Don't be angry with me. I didn't mean to." He lowered his long eyelashes, covering his dark red eyes.Then, Calamus lifted the quilt, stretched out his arms to me, and patted the empty part of his arms like coaxing a child.

The cuffs of the plaid shirt on Changpu's body were rolled up loosely, just to the elbow, revealing his thin but strong forearm and his slender and beautiful fingers.

His collar was not buttoned as carefully as usual.

Maybe because there are only two of us in the room, Calamus seems very relaxed and leisurely.

The first two buttons of his shirt collar were unbuttoned, so that when he raised his hand, I could see his collarbone looming through the collar.

I suddenly felt a little heat on my cheeks.

In the dark of night, Calamus gives people the impression that it is as well-behaved as usual, that kind of silly feeling that I can bully at will.

However, even though his eyebrows and eyes have not changed much, the current Calamus gives off a feeling of hormonal bursts, and his every gesture is full of the charm of a mature man.

It has to be said that calamus is already beautiful, but the racial characteristics of vampires can multiply this beauty and charm by ten.

"Don't coax me!" I turned my head away from looking at him.Obviously I have been lied to by him for so long, if I forgive him so easily, where will I save my face.

"Cool, come here." I heard the slight friction of the cloth and the quilt cover when Calamus got up.Then I was held in my arms by a pair of strong arms.

I turned to look at the person who hugged me gently.

He has grown taller again.Originally, I was only about a palm-length shorter than him.Now?I probably just reached his chin.

snort!Jealousy tore me apart.So I stood on tiptoe and pretended I had grown taller too.

Then, I heard the calamus's light laughter, like a deep and beautiful cello. "It will be tiring, cold." His arms moved from the outside of my shoulders to my waist, then tightened, and he hugged me easily.He turned around and put me back on the bed from the floor.

When Calamus was doing all this, I was dumbfounded.

I think I should rethink how much the strength of Calamus, who has become a pure-blooded vampire, has increased.

"It's too cold on the ground, you're still standing there with bare feet." Calamus explained to me.

His expression was still the same, so innocent that one couldn't bear to blame him.

"Let's talk about it first." I hugged the quilt he wrapped me, cleared my throat, "I haven't forgiven you yet. So you have to tell me everything you have hidden from me in detail, and I will Judge."

Calamus sat next to me, stretched out his hand, and interlocked my fingers.Then, in my ear, I said slowly but steadily: "Those things I concealed from you are all related to the grievances and grievances of the previous generation of the Feiying family, so it has nothing to do with you. The reason why I told you I conceal the truth because I don't want you to be involved in these complicated things."

"My name is Kaoru Iris.

"In fact, this is my original name, not the name I was awakened?"

"……wake?"

"Yes. Because I was not the owner of this body, but one of the ancestors of the Iris family who had already fallen into a deep sleep."

"So, you and Jiulanshu are actually old acquaintances?" I don't know why, but the first thing I thought of was Jiulan Youji's confession to me.

At that time, I was still gloating over the complicated relationship between the Jiulan family.Unexpectedly, the way of heaven is reincarnation, and the sky will spare no one.Now such a bloody plot actually happened to me.

"That's right. Before... After all, among the purebloods at that time, there were only a few who didn't treat humans as their own domesticated animals. So, I also met him before." Calamus, no, it should be called now He replied for Iris Kaoru.

"But why... When I was eating yesterday, I could feel that there seemed to be other connections between us, as if...?"

"I should have been annihilated in this world with time, if no one disturbed me." Kaoru Kaoru did not answer me directly, but said such a paradoxical statement.

His voice came from above my head, his tone was very calm.

The man gently pressed his chin on the center of the hair on the back of my head, and the intimate breath between the words made me feel a little itchy at the root of my hair.

What does he mean by that?

I was taken by Iris Kaoru's posture and involuntarily half leaned in his arms.His breath embraced me, making my body gradually relax.But my brain was racing to think about the meaning of his words.

Iris Kaoru said that he was awakened by someone.The original owner of this body was not him.

So... the one who is related to me by blood is the owner of that body?That's my... brother?

Did Kaoru Iris kill him in order to revive him?What role did the Scarlet Sakura family play in it?Why in the memory that came from the blood, the deal between Kaoru Kaoru and Jiu Lanshu destroyed Fei Ying's family?Only in this way can he gain...freedom?

My heart was beating fast 'thump-thump-thump'.

In fact, I don't care much about other things.I just want to know, is this person who is hugging me intimately now... the one I should hate?Was his affection for me the same as that of a chess piece on a chessboard?

I suddenly fell into a deep fear.

It's not that I'm afraid that Kaoru Iris has been lying to me all this time.It's because, I suddenly discovered that I have a deep-rooted thought about him - trust him, he won't hurt me.And I actually had no hesitation or doubt about this idea.

"The marriage contract between Hi Sakurashi and Iris Fuji was made when they were just born, in order to ensure the status of allies between Hi Sakura's family and Iris's family. Therefore, they cannot refuse." The two people in Kaoru Kaoru's mouth , are my parents. "At that time, the Senate family was dominant and had reached the point where they could control pure blood. Your father, Fei Yingshi, understood that his marriage to the princess of the Iris family allowed him to escape the fate of being held hostage by the Senate.

"When the Jiulan family had to compromise with the Senate, and sent their eldest son, Jiulan Litu, to the Senate, in name for teaching, but in fact for the purpose of sex and control, as the second son of the Feiying family, Feiying At that time, he knew exactly what kind of situation he was facing. Therefore, although he hated this kind of arranged marriage contract, he did not resist at all.

"An obedient chess piece will always be favored to a certain extent. Therefore, your father's obedient behavior also made the Feiying family replace the hostage that was supposed to be handed over to the Senate. It changed that person from your father to that A pure-blood born deliberately for this purpose, your aunt, Fei Yingxian."

"Your mother, Iris Yuina, is the current patriarch of the Iris family, Isa Isa's cousin. Her parents are pure blood offshoots of the Iris family.

"Back then, they couldn't refuse the request of the Iris Fuji clan's main family; the order to marry Iris Fuji Yuna and Hizakura to stabilize the status of the Iris Fuji family and the Hizakura family. Therefore, they chose to indulge Iris Fuji Yuina as much as possible.

"Although they told Iris Yuna about her engagement, but because of the idea of ​​'I don't want my daughter to be under the control of others for the rest of my life, at least I hope she can be carefree before marriage', so they agreed to Iris. Nai put forward a few years before marriage: "I hope to go to a place where I can spend the time before marriage quietly and without family surveillance".

"The Iris family probably also felt that a pure-blood who had just grown up did not have any power of his own in his hands, so there would be no mistakes. Therefore, I also agreed to Yuna Iris's request."

"However, no one expected that Ayame Yuto was very obedient on the surface, but in fact, she wanted to take this opportunity to elope with her noble vampire lover whom she had kept secret for a long time.

"When Yuto Iris left Iris's house, she was already pregnant. The child I gave birth to later is the body I use now."

"The Iris family didn't regard Iris Yuna's trip as a very unusual thing. After all, they promised to let her go free, so they didn't send anyone to monitor her. It was finally discovered that she had escaped from the Iris family. When we control the domain, it is almost time for the wedding ceremony between the Hizakura family and the Iris family."

"At that time, the disappearance of Iris Fujinana could no longer be concealed from Hi Sakura's family. Your father, Hi Sakura, had secretly devoured a lot of the power of the Senate and built his own power center.

"So, before the Iris's family found Iris, Hi Sakura had already found Iris, her aristocratic vampire lover, and their son."

Iris Kaoru closed her eyes, but her voice was still so calm.His tone was not unlike the one he used to tell me bedtime stories every night as a kid.But what he is telling now is a cruel tragedy.

"No matter how he is not valued by the Hi Sakura family, Hi Sakura Toki is still a pure-blooded species. So... in a rage, he directly killed the noble vampire lover of Iris Fuji, and used that child to threaten Iris Yuna, Coerced her to complete the marriage contract. Thus, you were born."

"But...but he doesn't love her at all, why...?" I knew that my parents were married because of a family marriage, but I didn't expect that it was my father's unilateral persecution.

"Because Fei Yingshi needs to continue her own bloodline to stabilize her position in Fei Ying's family. Moreover, this kind of marriage contract between pure blood species was originally to ensure the birth of offspring. There are two conditions for the dissolution of such a marriage contract, Either, it is the combination of the two, which guarantees the birth of an heir; or, it is the death of one of them.

"Using a pure-blooded princess or a pure-blood king who has the blood of the Iris family but belongs to the Hizakura family to resolve the marriage contract is much more beneficial than directly killing the princess who is a collateral branch of the Irisakura family. It is not surprising to make such a choice.”

"Then you? My...? And mother, did she really leave Japan with her Level B lover as others said?" shirt sleeves.

I probably already guessed something, but I want to hear Iris Kaoru deny the answer I guessed.

Probably, my father is the culprit of everything.

If that's the case, everything has a reasonable explanation.

He killed my mother, so Kaoru Iris, the ancestor of the Iris family, was awakened in some way to obey him.Therefore, only by killing my father can Iris Kaoru be free.

Iris Kaoru seemed to know what I was thinking.He let go of my hand and stroked my hair reassuringly, as if coaxing a child, just like me coaxing the youth in my dream.

"It's not all your father's fault." He said, "After your mother gave birth to you, she attacked the maid who gave birth to her before your father arrived, and planned to kill you. You After all, it is the blood of the Fei Ying family, so after knowing this, your father Fei Ying sneered and killed the former hostage in front of your mother, the child of your mother and her noble vampire lover next child.

"When your mother, Ayado Yuina, witnessed the child's death, her eyes were shattered, and she desperately cast a forbidden spell with her life, awakening me who was sleeping.

"And I, in the chaos of extreme hunger and thirst when I was forced to wake up, was controlled by physiological instinct, and I couldn't help enjoying the bloody 'sacrifice'.

"Thus, I have accepted that 'contract'. That is - I will live as that child, and as a price, I need to fulfill your mother's last wish: destroy the Scarlet House."

The author has something to say: It is estimated that it will not be completed on time, so I will try my best to write in my free time.Caviar, I would like to wish you a happy egg breaking day.I will complete this article later.

PS: I think I have to work hard to make a pair with the two brothers and sisters of the Jiulan family _(:3」∠)_ Such bloody level, how did my mother Hino Mori come up with it?

In order to write this article, I read the manga of Vampire Knight again... Then, QAQ, behind such a beautiful character style, why hide such a distorted view of love.At least I don't think I can accept it, nor can I forcefully explain it.

I remember when I watched this animation in middle and high school, I felt for the first time that such a pair of brothers and sisters was acceptable to me.Until :)……… read the manga later.

That's why my good friend Ji wanted to see such a sweet couple, but I didn't want to write Shushu and You Ji, so I opened such a couple.Otherwise, I really can't accept the kind of 'I'm for your own good, so I can disregard your efforts and wishes.I think you'll be happy this way, so I'm hiding it from you like a fool, and I'm going to do the same. "

In fact, what many people find unacceptable is that Yuki had a daughter with Shu, and then had a daughter with Zero.In fact, I think it's nothing, everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, and at that time, it was Jiulanshu who pushed Jiulan Youji away first! (draw key points)

What I can't accept the most is: Jiu Lanshu insisted on killing pure blood and changed the source of gold. When he saw You Ji and Zero who rushed over, he finally said, "I hope they can be together and live a good life".If the holy father is not the holy father, I won't mention it. He didn't think about Yuuki's efforts and Yuuki's mood at all.

From then on, I became a fan of Jiulanshu and turned to passers-by.real.How much I wanted to prostitute him when I was in the second grade, and now I hate this kind of "everything I do is for you, you will be happy if you do this, even if you don't think so now".

No matter how good-looking she is, it can't change the fact that he didn't treat You Ji on an equal footing with him from the beginning to the end.He didn't give Yuki a chance to choose at all, he was the one who took Yuki away, and finally realized that Yuki still had attachment to other people, and it was he who wished to become Yuanjin.This can no longer be explained only by willfulness, can it be regarded as machismo?

So, how do you fall in love when the three views are different?

These are just my personal views.Objectively speaking, Jiu Lanshu is a far-sighted but gentle and powerful pure-blood king. It is normal for everyone's girlish heart to fall to him.But really, it’s good to see this kind of male god from a distance... :)

Probably, after writing this article, I will never open a fan of Vampire Knight again XD
