I really want to die

Augusto leaned against a camphor tree, looking up at the dark blue night.The courtyard was lined with stone pillars, over which climbed pale ivy, its leaves stained bone-silver by the moonlight.

A slender, silver-haired young man, in this moonlit night, sat on a single chair in a camphor tree, motionless, as if he was thinking about something, but also seemed to be thinking about nothing.

Suddenly, Augusto opened his eyes slightly, listening intently to the voice from the night wind.He slowly straightened up and looked towards a certain direction in the manor. The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

In the cellar, the Viscount Mainz was praying devoutly.The depths of the darkness could not be visited, as if something was hidden in that darkness, a slight and strange sound came—it was a sound that seemed to be swallowing something.

Suddenly, the flames danced sharply, and something flashed by quickly, bringing a gust of wind.

The Viscount Mainz froze, keeping a half-kneeling posture and not daring to move.

"This is the Marquis of the castle? He looks so young, he is not yet an adult." A cold voice came from the side, and with the appearance of this person, the already cold air around him seemed to be even colder.

"Yes, it is said that he is exactly 16 years old." The Viscount Mainz replied calmly. If you listen carefully to his voice, you can tell that there is fear in it, but more excitement.

"It's just such a brat who forced me to hide everywhere, even reducing the fun of hunting. Even if there is a sacrificed prey, how can it compare to the charm of hunting it myself. Tell me, should I punish him well? Woolen cloth?"

The man squatted beside Su Chen, staring at his face.After speaking, he turned his head to look at the Viscount Mainz, revealing a pale face like a dead man, and scarlet lips, with a smear of blood on the corner of his mouth.When he looked at the Viscount Mainz, his eyeballs were motionless, with a slight red light in his eyes, and he grinned, revealing the sharp long teeth on both sides.

The Viscount Mainz only glanced at him, bowed his head, and replied respectfully: "He is Your Excellency's prey now, and he is naturally at Your disposal."

"Well, you did a good job this time."

Hearing this sentence, the Viscount Mainz immediately showed a happy expression, raised his head and asked excitedly: "The thing about the 'first hug'—"

"Do you think it's so easy to have 'First Embrace'?!" Strath's voice suddenly rose, and his tone was displeased. "This is a sacred thing, and only those who are truly qualified can receive the gift."

Mainz asked anxiously: "Then how can I be qualified? Please show me a path."

Strath glanced at him lightly and said, "Just do what you do now."

He picked up Su Chen and clamped it around his waist. With a flash of his figure, the flames danced violently again.When the light and shadow in the cellar stabilized again, Strath and Su Chen were gone.

Strass grabbed Su Chen's waist and jumped up to the roof of the manor. He stepped on the roof and treetops and ran quickly under the moonlight.

Not far from the manor, the running Strath stopped suddenly. He tightened his grip on the prey, looked around, showed a look of guard, and shouted sharply:

"Come out, don't let me do it, or you will regret it."

"If you don't let go of the person in your hands, you will be the one who regrets it."

A flat voice sounded from the front, and Strath suddenly turned around.But he saw a person appearing at some point in front of him, that person was facing him, standing with his hands down, with an elegant posture, and his silver hair almost blended with the moonlight.

"You, who are you?" He didn't notice this person's sudden appearance. Seeing the gesture, as if waiting for him here, Strath felt uneasy.

Augustus turned his head to look at Strass, his eyes stopped on Su Chen in his hand, and turned to Strass with no expression on his face.

"It's just that a lowly servant who has just escaped from 'Rebirth' is so rampant in the human world. Didn't your 'Blood Lord' teach you the rules?"

As Augustusge's words fell word by word, Strath's body trembled bit by bit, and his back became more and more bent.When Auguste finished speaking the last word, he had already bent down completely, put the prey in his body on the ground, and knelt down on one knee.

"B-my lord—"

However, he couldn't continue after only two words, and the coercion from the front made him tremble deeply.This is the group power that only high-level vampires have.Among the vampires, low-level vampires have absolutely no ability to resist against high-level vampires.Especially if the difference in levels is too large, a high-level vampire can kill a low-level vampire with just one thought.

But now, the power that Strath felt was the kind of gap that was so huge that he couldn't measure it at all, and he had never felt it in his blood lord.In other words, the silver-haired young man in front of him, who looked less than 20 years old, was at least a high-ranking blood family at the Duke level.

"I, I didn't know that this prey had been chosen by your lord. I offended you. Please forgive me." After that kind of power disappeared, Strass could say a complete sentence, and he immediately admitted his mistake.

The high-ranking vampires will carefully select their prey, which Strath knows, they are different from the low-level vampires.If you use the words of the human world to describe it, then the low-level vampires are like a group of hungry refugees, who suck blood as long as it is, and they are particular about picking women like him; while the upper-level vampires are extremely picky gourmets. Waiting for the prey to mature for several years or ten years - because it is said that the best time for humans to suck is in the days before adulthood.

Some high-ranking blood races would even choose to sleep because there was no suitable prey. After waking up from a long sleep, they would look for suitable prey again.

Now it is obvious that he snatched the prey carefully selected by this adult. If the other party gets angry, it is possible to tear him up directly.

"Stay away, don't let me see you again."

Augusto did not kill the lowly vampire.

When Strass heard his words, he was overjoyed immediately, and without saying a word, he disappeared in front of August at the fastest speed, for fear that he would go back on his word.

While running at high speed, Strath decided in his heart that he must stay as far away from here as possible. In case the lord remembered what happened today, or if he accidentally offended the lord, he would not You must be as lucky as today, and you may die an ugly death.

Also, don't all these high-ranking vampires like to sleep forever?Most low-level vampires never saw one in their lifetime, but he didn't expect to see two.

One is the blood lord who gave him the "First Embrace"; the other is the silver-haired upper-rank blood who has lived for an unknown number of years.

Augusto walked to Su Chen's side and quietly looked at the sleeping boy for a while. The boy's breathing was gentle, and he seemed to be just asleep.He watched for a while, then slowly squatted down, put his arm around the boy's neck, lowered his head and slowly approached.

The skin on the neck was warm and delicate. This man's blood tasted very good, sweeter than all the blood he had tasted before. After tasting it once, he would never forget it again.

It seems that there is a voice calling, enjoy it to your heart's content, enjoy it to your heart's content, if you miss such a delicacy, you will never encounter it again in the long years.

The sharp fangs exposed the mouth, touching the delicate skin of the neck—ah, the fangs haven't pierced the blood vessels yet, but the heart is already trembling.

The blood race's heart, which would never beat again, seemed to be injected with fresh blood at this moment, and began to flow slowly, contract, and jump up.

Putting his fangs back, Augustus hugged Su Chen and stared at his sleeping face. After a long time, he pressed him to his chest and hugged him tightly.Then he leaped forward, reflected the huge moon behind him, shrunk into a small dot in the night, and disappeared.

When Su Chen woke up in the castle room, his eyes were blank. He looked around and realized that he had returned to the castle, but he didn't understand what happened.

Charlie, the old housekeeper who was watching Su Chen woke up, was so excited that he almost forgot the etiquette that he usually pays attention to the most, and he was about to cry with joy.

"My lord, you're awake. My lord, it's great that you're all right." Charlie stood up from his chair and quickly ran to the bed. Without a cane, he seemed to be walking faster, so he didn't know that he was usually using a cane What is it for, is it just for decoration?

"Charlie, what happened? How did I come back?" Su Chen rubbed his forehead and sat up from the bed, feeling a little headache.He really didn't know what happened, he only remembered that the Viscount Mainz cut the throat of a maid in front of him, blood spurted out, and then he fell down and disappeared.

In the dizzy sleep, it seemed to be moving all the time, not stable at all, until later Wei felt a little better, but that was just the feeling in sleep.

"My lord blows the cold wind at night, so I feel a little headache after waking up." Charlie saw Su Chen rubbing his temples, and explained beside him.At this time, his emotions had calmed down, and he returned to his usual butler's true colors, answering his lord's questions respectfully.

"My lord, don't you know how I came back? The knights who escorted your lord back to the castle yesterday said that the Viscount Mainz told them that your lord was drunk, so Thomas sent you back to the castle ahead of time. But we didn't Seeing any carriages going back to the castle, just to be cautious, I went to the adult's room to have a look, I didn't expect to see the adult lying on the bed, but he couldn't wake up after calling a few times." He paused here, slightly asked suspiciously.

"My lord, what happened? Why did the Viscount Mainz lie?" His Excellency was obviously not sent back to the castle by Thomas as the Viscount Mainz said, so something must have happened during the banquet.

Su Chen frowned when he heard this, the Viscount Mainz was obviously up to no good, someone rescued him, so who was it?Why secretly send him back instead of sending him openly?Also, under the heavy defense of the castle, it is not something ordinary people can do to send others into the lord's room without knowing it?

Su Chen shook his head, looked at Charlie and asked:

"What about the rest?"

Charlie's face visibly froze for a moment, and after a slight pause, he replied, "Except for Thomas, everyone has returned to the castle." His voice sounded calm, not at all like a father whose son's whereabouts are unknown.

Su Chen frowned. At that time, there were only him and Thomas in the hall. If he was rescued for some reason, then Thomas must still be in the hands of Viscount Mainz, but he didn't know how likely he was alive.

Su Chen focused his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Send the order to send troops to surround the Viscount Mainz's manor, and he must be controlled." After a pause, his tone became colder, "If there is any resistance, immediately kill."

Charlie's expression was shocked, and he looked at Su Chen with puzzled and vague expectations, "Your Excellency means, Thomas is with Viscount Mainz? But why did he detain Thomas?"

Su Chen lowered his eyes and said lightly:

"Because, his original target was me, and Thomas was the only insider present."

The author has something to say:

When writing a story with this background, the author tried to make the narrative style and description as close as possible to that era (in fact, every story is like this). I wonder if anyone has noticed this, or is there no difference at all?
