Desire on the other side of blood

October 1761, 10 in the Camarilla Calendar, Camarilla War Peace Day.To celebrate the end of the bipartisan war three years ago and the signing of the Maisme Accord, Kamarilla made the day a legal holiday.

It is said that both the upper-class nobles and commoners of Camarilla attach great importance to this festival that symbolizes peace. Every year on this day, various celebrations are held in various counties of Camarilla, and the most representative one is, It was a celebration held by the upper-class nobles in the capital Hermons.

The venue for this year's event is set at the newly built Moniranka Hall. The entire event will start at 12 noon and last until midnight.

However, today's weather is not very good. It has been raining heavily since the early morning, and it is getting bigger and bigger. The majestic heavy rain hits the windows, disturbing people.

From 6 o'clock in the morning, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and the servants began to prepare for the venue, occasionally interspersed with the voice of Sabrina conducting.Because the owner of Monilanka Palace is Sabrina, she is the host of this issue.

Thinking about what I have to do today, I can't sleep anymore.After I got up and dressed, I was about to go to Richard, but I was stopped when I walked out of the door.

"Your Highness Chris, please wait! Your Highness Chris!"

I stopped, and a petite young maid trotted up to me with a basin, panting and said: "Your Highness Chris, Your Majesty told me that I must give these things to you."

"Oh, what?"

She quickly lifted a lid covering the plate, inside was a blood bag that was still steaming, and a note was pressed underneath.

I picked up the note and looked at it, and it was in a font that I was so familiar with.

Chris:

Before going out in the morning, you must have breakfast. I asked the maid to warm the blood bag, so remember to drink it.There are also celebrations starting at noon, you must come, don't be late, or I will bite you.

Philian

I developed the habit of skipping breakfast in Wenermi. After Philian found out, he would ask the maid to bring me breakfast every morning, and today is no exception.I smiled, carefully folded the note and put it in my pocket, picked up the blood bag again, nodded to the maid, and was about to leave, but was stopped by her again.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Your Highness Chris, Your Majesty told me that I must watch you drink your blood before leaving." She blushed and said.

I said helplessly: "But I don't want to drink yet."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty told me that you must drink." She still insisted.

"Okay." I bit the blood bag, drank the blood, handed the empty bag to her, and smiled at her.

She blushed even more, and left after saluting to me. Before she could take a few steps, the things in her hands fell to the ground.She was stunned for a long time, picked up the things in a hurry, bent over to me again, and finally left.

Seeing her flustered look reminded me of Elena, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, and my depressed mood felt much better.

I went to find Richard in his room, but he wasn't there.I walked around the castle a few times by myself. In order not to meet Sabrina who was directing the servants to carry the utensils face to face, I deliberately chose a remote place to walk.

After all, I have lived here for a long time, and there are my memories in every corner here.Every time I walked by, those precipitated memories seemed to come alive again in my mind.

When I got to the third floor, I remembered that there was a grand piano in the innermost piano room, so I walked over.

That piano was obtained by pestering Felian back then.I don't know how to play, but Felian can, so I pestered him to put a piano here, although I didn't hear him play once in the end.

The piano is still there, and at this moment, there is a person sitting in front of the piano, hitting a series of notes on the keys with one hand.

The man's eyes were half downcast, his elegant figure was reflected on the bright piano surface, and there was a slight smile on his beautiful face.

That face can eclipse everything in the world.

Lilith.

I stood at the door, looking at Lilith's silhouette, and suddenly couldn't move.

I know that for her, I still have many psychological shadows that are difficult to overcome.

"What are you doing standing there? Come in." The sound of the piano stopped, and Lilith raised her head, her delicate voice was clearer than the sound of the piano.

"Sorry, Miss Lilith, I didn't mean to disturb you." I said with some embarrassment.

She shook her head to show she didn't care, and then she raised her hand to me.

"Come in and sit with me for a while, just for a while." She said, with a touch of loneliness in her voice.

I hesitated for a while, then walked over.Sitting down on the bench next to her, I didn't know what to say.

There was a stagnant silence in the air.

She didn't look at me, but raised her hand and played a single note, and her ethereal voice was in the ethereal piano sound.

"This piano was given to you by Felian. When you left, he wanted to throw away the piano. Because I like it very much, I kept it."

I smiled wryly, "Yes, His Majesty Felian loves you very much, maybe now."

After a short pause, I said again: "I thought you would be together."

"No, Chris, you should know that it's impossible for me and Philian." Lilith pressed the keys, and the sound of the piano was drawn out, "I stay here only because I'm lonely, just lonely, these Felian knows."

"I have been waiting for a person, he disappeared, disappeared without leaving any trace, but I will still wait for him, I will continue to wait." Although she was still smiling, I saw her eyes were crying.

I know who she's talking about.

I suddenly felt very sad, mourning for those lives that cannot be indulged even if they have eternal life, for Philian, for Lilith, and for myself.

I touched the necklace that I had been putting in my pocket again, and pinched myself lightly.

Putting her hands on the piano, she began to play, an ancient hymn.

Accompanied by the sound of the piano, she sang in a low voice.

The singing was melodious and sweet, euphemistic and pleasant, but it stopped abruptly after a prelude, with some signs that were not easy to detect.

I suddenly lost my mind.

I heard rain, wind, footsteps and windows creaking and shaking in the high wind.

I heard someone calling my name and didn't know how to respond.

Something is about to happen.

I said to myself in my heart.

When the bell struck twelve, I subconsciously turned around.

Richard was leaning against the door and looking at me with a helpless look on his face.

"It's time, Chris," he said.

I got up.Lilith is long gone.

Only a withered blood-red rose on the piano cover waited quietly.

Bright red.Symbolizes the color of blood.

……

This is the first time I walked into the Temple of Moniranka.

Even if the lights are not turned on, the entire palace made of black crystals can reflect light by itself, and now it is even more brilliant under the illumination of luxurious and beautiful lights.

The palace is so big that I couldn't even see the other side from the gate of the main hall.

The activity has already started, and there are many people in the palace.From the moment we entered the door, many nobles from Camarilla nodded to us along the way.

In the center of the main hall is a dance floor. Many men and women are dancing to the soothing music. When they saw us entering, they immediately stopped to make way for us.

"It seems that the event has already been held for a round." Richard whispered in my ear, while also frequently saying hello to the people around him.

I smiled, didn't speak, and looked around the crowd, but didn't find the familiar figure.

The highest point of the big point is a high platform, which is covered with black flannel, and a strangely shaped table is placed aside.It is strange because its tabletop is not flat, but a piece is recessed in the middle, and a crystal clear round turntable stands on it. There is a handle beside the turntable, and wine liquids of different colors are placed around it.

The enchanting Sabrina beside her was standing at a corner of the high platform, bending over to talk to someone.She was wearing a white fishtail dress and black gauze gloves. The black and white elegant service was very suitable for the theme of today's event, but there was a coquettish rose pinned behind her ear, which made the whiteness even more beautiful Her skin is as crystal clear as snow.

She nodded to that person, then walked to the center of the high platform, held up the hem of her skirt and knelt to the crowd. The crowd immediately began to applaud and gathered around the stage.

"Miss Swift, you said just now that you will add a new link to today's event, what is that?" a man asked from the audience.

Sabrina smiled slightly, picked up a glass of light green wine from the table, and took a sip.

"This is the game I'm talking about," she said.
