[Vampire Knight] Briar

[Truth is 'the truth that is truth to me'.Even though objectively it was a huge party of over 100 people.But no matter how many people attend the party, it seems to me that the party is a lonely party where 'that person' is not there. 】

- Kierkegaard (subjective truth)

The last day ended with me apologizing for Calamus.

The blood hunter named 'Zero' was also escorted by Jiulan Yuki to apologize to me.

A blood hunter actually listens to a level A vampire like this, and he doesn't know what the relationship between these two people is.

The black master Huiyan pushed his glasses, looked at the calamus secretly, and then apologized to me while pretending to be innocent like muddy mud, "Zero is disobedient and broke my father's heart".

He said that, and I was embarrassed to pretend that I didn't see Zero's arm that was swollen and blackened due to poisoning.So I poked him secretly behind Calamus.

Who knew that Calamus's usual "big chatterbox" began to pretend to be serious in front of strangers.

He just told the black lord Hui Yan coldly: "It will recover at night. This is the punishment for the disrespect of the pure blood king."

Mr. Pureblood, your size.

In fact, like me, a vampire like me who "doesn't love my mother or father, at most I'm just a middle schooler", at the most middle school time, I just bullied Calamus, let him call me 'Master', to take advantage of the words.

The basis for doing this is because the two of us are too familiar, bullying him is like playing a petty temper with the closest person, and it will not hurt our relationship.

But to outsiders, my Level A is probably just a show.

My parents are two purebloods, that's right.

But the union between them is not so much for the family alliance, as it is to resolve the marriage vows made at birth.

In addition to the vague memories of my childhood, my face was indifferent when I saw me, and I even disliked me as a burden that shouldn't exist. My father who once wanted to send me to the Senate, I think my mother's family is even colder.

Ever since I was a child, I have never seen any vampire named Chang Teng.

When I was not sensible, I once mistakenly believed that my "birth" killed my mother in the sympathetic whispers of some "guests" who came to Feiying's house, so I felt very guilty for a while, and felt that I should not come to in this world.

But when I revealed my thoughts to Calamus, who looked at me with a worried face, he hugged me and stroked my hair.

"It's not your fault, Ryo. Madam, she... went to find her own happiness." Calamus hesitated, and said to me.

At that time, I didn't quite understand what he meant, but I could vaguely sense that he was hiding something from me.

Later, when I was a little older, I learned from people's gossip that my real mother probably hated me more than my father.

My birth is an indispensable condition for the two of them to settle the 'marriage vow'.

So, even though my mother hated it, she had to give birth to me.Even at that time, she already had a noble-level vampire lover.

But she had no mother-daughter affection for me.I heard that when I was just born, she was going to kill me, but was stopped by my father.

Then she got into a fight with my father and left Japan with her lover.

My father chose to save me at that time, probably not because he liked me so much, but just to give the family an explanation.After all, I'm still Level A with Scarlet Sakura's blood.

But these are far away.

I just want to say that I have probably never used the name of Mr. Pure Blood.

When I was a child, the servant of the Hiying family who was loyal to the Senate once hoped that I would participate in the banquet of the Senate as a pure blood of the Hiying family.

I kind of wanted to meet kids my age.Because I am locked up at home every day, and only Calamus is my big 'doll', sometimes I feel a little bored.

But at that time, before I expressed my opinion, Calamus refused that person forcefully, and even when I pulled the hem of his clothes behind him and signaled him 'I want to go', he didn't seem to feel it. Not once did I pamper me as usual.

That time, I was unilaterally angry with him for a long time, and even pushed aside the little bat-shaped Xue Mei Niang he made to coax me.

In the end, though, I went to the party.

Calamus brought me some decorative things, dressed my breath as an ordinary Level B vampire, and then got an invitation from a distant relative of the Scarlet Sakura family, so we used the Scarlet Sakura family The noble vampire distant relative, went to the banquet.

I clearly remember that it was the first banquet I attended.

I was wearing a small sky blue dress chosen by Iris.As for the calamus who was with me, I chose his clothes.

It was a pale pink European-style tutu skirt with gorgeous lace trim.

I originally wanted him to wear the 'beautiful' whalebone skirt like in the oil painting, but the whalebone corset and skirt brought by the maid were too big, and I thought it would be difficult for me to hold his hand, So in the end the plan was abandoned.

But iris in a tutu also looks a lot like those dolls in my closet.Although thinking about it now, those are all my black history of "doing evil", but at that time, as a young vampire cub who lacked maternal love, when I saw the "beautiful" and "suitable" calamus "sister" , quickly forgave him, turned around and approached him intimately, 'kiss, hug and hold high'.

In this way, I sat in the carriage with him and went to the banquet.

It was at that banquet that I got to know the Jiulan family, including Jiulanshu.

The members of Jiulan's family arrived at the banquet when it was almost halfway through.

At that time, I was showing off to a new arrogant but beautiful Level B vampire I met, Ryuka Saenono, that my calamus was prettier than hers, and she was so angry that she raised her head in disdain and said I was a country bumpkin with no taste.She also took Yuanxiao's hand behind her and asked him to be the referee, who was more beautiful between her and Changpu.

Jia Yuanxiao scratched his head in embarrassment. Just when I thought he was going to 'favor' his childhood sweetheart Ryuka Zaozono, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open.

A family of three from the Jiulan family walked in.

Jiulan You, Jiulan Shuli.

And their son, Jiu Lanshu.

They were led by a Ma Yuan of the Senate.Yiyi Mayuan respectfully called them "pure-blooded monarchs", and his tone was extraordinarily eager and excited.

"Next, please welcome our Pure Blood Lord." Yi Yi Ma Yuan first knelt down on one knee in front of the Patriarch of the Jiulan family, and then I watched other people also kneel down one after another, and respectfully called them "Master You" and 'Master in the Tree'.The new acquaintances Saozono Ryuka and Kainin Xiaoya both knelt on one knee.I heard Ryuka Saozono also call them 'adults', and her tone was no longer that of 'must win or lose' as she spoke to me, but with deep respect and submission.

I didn't kneel down, because when the people from Jiulan's family entered the banquet hall, Calamus pulled me and hid in a relatively secluded corner.I was in the corner looking at the family who looked so beautiful 'sparkling' under the crystal chandelier.

"There's no need to be too polite." Jiu Lanyou put her right arm around Jiulan Shuli, put her left hand on Jiulanshu's shoulder, and smiled gently. "Since we are here at the invitation of the Senate, we are guests here and will not replace the role of the host. You can do as you please."

The many noble vampires kneeling below still looked very humble. Although they got up gradually one by one, they also consciously kept a respectful but alienated distance from the family.

"I heard that Master Shu still has no engagement yet?" Yi Mayuan broke everyone's formality, although his tone was respectful, he raised a question that could be called presumptuous.

"Ah," I saw Jiu Lanyou glance at a Ma Yuan standing in front of them, a red light flashed in his eyes. "Shuli and I feel that Shu is still young. Let him choose the bride he likes when he grows up."

"Forgive me, Master Yu, Master Shuri." Yi Yi Ma Yuan continued as if he didn't understand the situation: "You guys are too hasty. The pure-blooded monarch has always been our belief. There must be no mistakes, so it is better for Master Shu to make a 'marriage oath' as ​​soon as possible to give birth to a pure-blood king."

"Are you questioning my decision? Yi Weng?" This time, I saw that Jiu Lanyou's eyes had turned completely red, which was a signal to launch an attack or suppress blood.

"..." A Ma Yuan and Jiu Lanyou looked at each other for a while, and then I saw him bow his head, put his right hand on his chest, and salute: "Don't dare... my lord."

So a large group of people knelt down again.

"Hey, Calamus." I hid behind a pillar in the corner and tugged at the hem of his skirt. "Is the identity of the Pure Blood Lord so annoying? Why do I feel that the atmosphere of the whole banquet will be different once they arrive?"

"..." Calamus knelt down in front of me, his light green pupils looked directly into my dark green eyes. "That's not disgust," he said earnestly, "it's fear and greed."

"The group of people are afraid that the purebloods can command their power hidden in their blood, but each of them wants to steal this ability and take it for themselves.

"Pure bloods are actually isolated existences that are sought after by the entire vampire group.

"The relationship between purebloods and other levels of vampires is like humans and gods who can control their lives. They want to follow the gods, but they also desire to kill gods to gain the power of gods.

"So, the identity of LevelA is like a target. Because of fear and unequal status, those LevelB and LevelC will only choose to please you, and rarely give their sincerity. And because of greed, if a pure-blooded king of a family once If you show a little weakness, you will be swarmed by other people, including pure bloods from other families, and will be devoured to nothing.

"Living like that is really tiring, Ryo. Except for relatives who are connected by blood, you can believe it a little bit. At other times, Level A vampires walk on the blade all the time.

"I hope you can live happily, that's why I didn't let you attend this banquet as a LevelA.

"Although, Scarlet Sakura will definitely expose your existence to everyone. But if I can let you enjoy this kind of unfettered time more, it's better to come out as a Level B first. What do you think, Ryo?"

Although I didn't quite understand what he was talking about at the time, I nodded.

After all, in my original world, except for the servants of Fei Ying's family who dare not even look at me directly, I have never seen it a few times, looking at my father with contempt and disdain.The rest, the only people I can get in touch with are calamus.

And that banquet was actually the first time I saw so many people, as well as those Level B vampires.

Before that, I didn't even know that there would be such a big difference between LevelA and LevelB.
