He never told anyone about his childhood, because it was not a good memory.As an adult, he would sometimes dream of fragmentary experiences in his early years. If this was the case, the dream would undoubtedly be a nightmare.

Today, he is the Duke's adopted son and a professor at Ansel College, but who would have thought that at the very beginning, he was just the cheapest little beggar in Libel City.

In my memory, the residence smelled sour and rotten like a sewer, where there were always rats running around.At night, you can clearly hear them gnawing, and the intermittent sound can drive people crazy.Such nights are always accompanied by endless hunger.These begging children will never have enough to eat. If they go out for a whole day and cannot get money, not only will they not be able to eat food when they return home, they will even be severely beaten.This is their life.

He was still young at that time, and he didn't have much other thoughts except that he was very hungry. He only remembered that a child who was slightly older than him in the same room said that they were not as good as the rats in this ghost place.

No matter how many years have passed, he still remembers this sentence.

Probably because of the tragedy that happened that night.

When they awoke the next day, the youngest child in their group was dead.

Killed by rats.

Half of his body was eaten away.

— Rats who are hungry and crazy will eat people.

——If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would probably have regarded such a thing as a ghost story.

He knew that compared to these children begging with him, he was quite lucky.He didn't freeze to death at night or be eaten by greedy rats. He was even adopted by the Duke because of his hair color.

At that time, he was still suffering from abdominal cramps due to hunger, so he couldn't sleep at night, and he woke up the next day with no energy.His father - all their children call that person "father", but in fact, he has always had an intuition, which tells him that his two nominal "father" and "mother" are not actually them. The little beggar's own parents.

"Mother" is a bloated and fat woman, but "father" is as thin as a bamboo pole. Standing together is really ridiculous.That morning, my father rushed into the house and said to his mother with an unconcealed excitement, "Hey, you know what, Sue, we are going to make a lot of money." His breath seemed particularly unsteady, "A rich man wants to buy a little boy. He must be under ten years old, and his hair must be platinum-blonde. Damn platinum-blonde! I didn't even know what platinum-blonde was at first! So I asked People, they say it's that kind of white with a little bit of gray in it. Sue, I think we just happen to have a kid who fits all the above requirements, don't we?"

After listening to this passage, he didn't even realize that the "boy" mentioned in the conversation was him, until he was found out and then washed like pork.He twitched in panic and even screamed.The sudden piercing scream startled the man who was bathing him, "Father" raised his hand and slapped him across the face: "Stinky boy, be quiet."

"Mother" dug out the clothes and changed them for him.

For the first time in his life, he put on new clothes.

"Mother" looked at him harshly, then turned her head and shouted at "Father", "Why did you hit him just now? Look at his face is swollen! How will you sell it later?"

"Father" shrugged indifferently: "The beating is over, so what should I do?"

"It's an old thing that's not doing enough to make things go wrong." The "mother" muttered impatiently, she searched around, and finally found a kitchen knife, "Come here." The woman said to him holding the kitchen knife, she looked It looked like an obese butcher, and he didn't dare to go there.The woman patiently said it again, but he still wouldn't go over. She finally ran out of patience, "Old man, do you just look around? Bring this brat to me quickly."

He was carried in front of the woman as if he was carrying a small chicken. "Mother" bent down, and he saw her cloudy eyes, the whites of which were yellow, and it was the first time he looked at a person so clearly.Then she raised the kitchen knife.He always had the illusion that he was going to be hacked to death.Rats can eat people when they are hungry, but can people eat people when they are hungry?Some people are afraid to close their eyes, but he just didn't blink.In the end, the woman just pressed the back of the knife against his red and swollen face, and then his stomach growled.

The woman said with a clear expression, "Sit down first."

The rare cleanliness and tidiness aroused the envy of other children.They were envious and jealous, whispering.The group of children were about to go out to beg, but he could sit at home, and the "mother" gave him two pies.The oldest child among the crowd sneaked up to him while no one was paying attention: "Do you think your good life is coming?" He was so jealous that he sounded resentful, "I heard that those rich people Sir, they're all gentleman-looking perverts. Some of them like to do unspeakable things to little boys. I tell you, you're done!"

When "Father" took him out, the expression on his face was still joyful.The man said to him: "You have to behave well later, and you better pray that you are selected. Otherwise, I will definitely go home and beat you until you spit out those two pies, understand?"

He's glad he got picked and didn't waste two pies in vain.

The selection process was like selecting livestock. His hair color satisfied the people who came to select him: "Although he is malnourished, he can always be taken care of." Then he was taken to a room for further inspection, They wanted to see if he had any physical disabilities.They also squeezed his mouth open to examine his teeth, the way a groom examines a horse.

In the end, he didn't know how much money his father made after buying him.

Then he began to learn etiquette, learned all kinds of things, and after three years of teaching, he met the Duke.

The Duke liked him very much, obviously, the other party picked up a strand of his hair and put it on his lips for a kiss, his eyes fixed on him tightly, like a preying beast.His instinctive discomfort, and not long after, the other party regarded him as an adopted son, which made him somewhat relieved, although he didn't know why he should breathe a sigh of relief.In the next few years, he can say that he lived very easily without any burden.The day he came of age, the duke hosted a dinner party for him.He's drunk enough to be unconscious, but not too drunk to pass out.So he has an impression of the whole process, including how the other party pulled him into bed, and jokingly said to him: "It's not easy when you grow up." The buttons of the clothes were unbuttoned, "You are really getting better and better." Like him." A chuckle close to the ear, "They taught you well."

This unclear relationship lasted for a long time, until his hair grew older, and for some unknown reason, it began to slowly develop in the direction of all white, without the platinum blonde it used to be. .After that, the Duke's interest in him decreased significantly, and he even adopted a little boy with platinum blonde hair later, and then stopped looking for him.

Apparently he was "abandoned".

This cognition is like a hungry mouse, gnawing at his heart.

Since I liked it at the beginning, why can't I continue to like it?Evil thoughts grow slowly.Of course he likes the duke, people with humble backgrounds like them are born with an almost instinctive desire for the kind of high-ranking people.It's a fatal attraction like moths to a flame.He likes him, but the other party doesn't like him anymore, so he wants to destroy him.

Vague thoughts of revenge haunted him, and he began to put on a mask of humility to be a capable, obedient and reliable subordinate.Humility is not in his nature, and this process of pretending caused him pain. He began to learn to paint, and the process of painting somewhat relieved his pain.Sure enough, he gained trust very quickly, and gradually gained a lot of power, and even knew that the Duke——is a vampire.Vampire, he thought it was just a legend.He remained calm and continued to pretend to be loyal, and when he took over the "Prince Project", he finally saw the "dead man" with platinum blonde hair - anyway, in his opinion, he was not much different from a dead man.

The Duke is determined to bring this "dead man" back to life.It's hard to imagine that the complete corpse in front of him was synthesized from a bundle of hair.It is said that this person was burned by the "fire of hell" at that time, and there was not even a single ashes left, only a strand of hair that the Duke had secretly hidden survived.

The "Prince Project" obviously did not go well, because the "dead man" was beyond recognition and could never be restored to his original appearance.

That's it, Noah he met later.

It left a deep impression at first sight.

As if smelling a little bit of the same breath, he felt that the other party was like a wild beast, very docile.But tameness is just a disguise. Once the appearance of tameness is torn off, the real face will definitely be interesting.

This aroused his interest to some extent, and he had nothing else to do anyway, so he deliberately transferred the other party's brother to his own name at school—to understand a person, sometimes he learned from the side Information will be more specific than direct contact.

After contacting him, he became even more curious about the origin of Brother Noah.

What's even more troublesome is that the older brother of the pair accidentally discovered the "Prince's Project" in the temple.

When he saw the prince's "corpse" standing up and walking around, of course he shot without any hesitation.It was a dead body chopped in two, and a dying young man.He looked at the corpse on the ground. Although he was in charge of the "Prince Project", he had never carefully observed what the corpse looked like.At first it was because the corpse was not complete, but later it was because he didn't want to look at it at all.As a "substitute", isn't it natural to hate the "original owner"?

He walked over, thinking it would be too troublesome, he might as well kill all these students, and then cover it up as an accident, how convenient it is.Thinking like this, he walked to Song's side, bent down and squatted down, and for the first time he saw the other person's appearance clearly.

The bandage that had been wrapped around it on weekdays was broken, revealing a face underneath.It was utterly pale and hardly alive.The other party struggled to open his eyes to look at him, his eyes were weak, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be wet.He heard the other party speak: "Teacher..."

Then he coughed violently and passed out under his palm.

He had to admit that he was bewitched by such a morbid sense of beauty.For a moment, I even felt stinging in my eyes, as if I had been in a dark room for a long time and suddenly encountered light.

Why do people always look at things that don't belong to them?

The hunger that had plagued him throughout his childhood returned.

After returning, he dreamed of Song's death.It's your own hands.In the dream, he didn't let the other party go. In the temple, he killed the young man.He grabbed the opponent's neck and tightened it gently until the opponent was not breathing.Then in the dream he felt that it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be in the temple, it should be in any other place, but there should be sunshine, this person should die under the sun that doesn't know the time and place.

He didn't live happily at all, and spent most of his life up to now under the Duke's hands like a puppet.He thought it might be the heavy constraints that made him wild, or some other reason.But none of that matters.Anyway, he didn't live happily, and he didn't want others to live too happily.He looked at Song and Noah, jealousy was gnawing at his sanity.He saw that the girl at the same table of Song wrote a love letter to Song, but Song didn't respond at all and ignored it completely.You see, those two are so close, why didn't he meet such a person?

I really want to... destroy them.

Look at their miserable appearance.

Let them not be happy, not happy.

He finally took Song away, he looked at this person, he thought he was a little bewitched in the end.This is the second person in the world who made him want to paint, and the other is the former Duke of Wellington.If the other party is willing to accompany him in the future and make him happy, then it is not impossible for him to spare this person's life.But this person was not submissive at all, and he would run away from him even if he cut off his hand, which made him very angry.

Why escape?Where are you fleeing to?You can't escape anywhere, you know that?

He knelt down in front of the man.In the dim light, he could clearly see the light in each other's eyes.It was cold, desperate, painful, unwilling, and slightly confused.

The desire to devour everything came back.

He slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed the opponent's neck.

——Looking at something that doesn't belong to you is called coveting.

——And the thing that makes people covet it is itself a wrong existence.

The existence of mistakes should be obliterated.Whether it is the Duke of Wellington or the person in front of him.

And he was right.

The fingers tightened little by little, and the material of the other party was stuck to his palm, it felt hot to the touch, and there was a slight aroma, which might be the smell of detergent, but what poured into the nasal cavity more was the smell of blood.He felt that the people under his hands were losing temperature little by little, it was so cold that his heart was also icy cold.Suddenly, I couldn't bear it.In fact, the young man did nothing wrong.Compared with the Duke of Wellington, this person didn't even come to "provoke" him at all.Despite thinking this way, he continued to tighten his fingers.He couldn't help sighing: "A person like you... shouldn't have been born in this world."
