Desire on the other side of blood

"Carol, I'm here, come out!" Elizabeth stepped into the water with her long skirt, not caring that her expensive fur coat was wet by the rain.

Yige stared blankly at them and then at me, completely unaware of what they were talking about.

I sighed helplessly, stood up, wrapped my coat around me, and said to Yige, "Let them in!"

Before Iggy could react, Elizabeth pushed Francis and Iggy away and rushed in.

"Kaylo! Where have you been all these years? I miss you so much!" He rushed over and hugged me, the strong momentum made me almost unsteady.

Judging from the dresses of Elizabeth and Francis, it is easy for others to guess that their identities must be noble, but it is obvious that Elizabeth's behavior quickly surprises people, which can be seen from Iger's expression with his mouth open .

Francis coughed lightly and turned his head in embarrassment.

"Elizabeth, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still so warm." I smiled wryly and patted Elizabeth who was hanging around my neck.

She curled her mouth and made a vicious look, but tears began to pool in her big glasses.

"You brat, you leave as soon as you say, without even a message. Do you know how long I've been looking for you?"

"I'm sorry, Elizabeth, I didn't know it would happen." I smiled apologetically at her, "It was a sudden decision when I made this decision, and I didn't expect so much."

"Well, since you admitted your mistake, then I forgive you." Elizabeth got off me, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, "But I really didn't expect you to stay in the human world for so long."

"How did you find me?"

"I went to Zaba to find His Royal Highness Richard, and he told me quickly."

I nod.I have kept in touch with Richard during these 50+ years in the human world.

"Tell me, Carol, how have you been all these years?" Elizabeth pulled me to sit on the sofa, and Francis sat down.

Yige prepared some food for entertaining the guests, and sat obediently beside me.

"Not bad, very attentive." I said with a smile.

"Then I'm relieved." Elizabeth said, turning her gaze to Ige, "Is he your descendant?"

"Yes, his name is Igg, Ignatz. Evans."

Elizabeth stared straight at Ig for a moment, and when Ig started to feel uncomfortable, he shrank back toward me.

Elizabeth suddenly leaned over and whispered in my ear: "Hey, Carol, where did you find such a cute boy?" She spoke English this time, and although her voice was quiet, Ig still understood up.

Iger hated being called cute, and he yelled out almost immediately, "How am I cute? I'm 75 years old!" He tried hard to look masculine, but his Zhang Tiansheng's baby face makes him look less authoritative.

Elizabeth laughed unceremoniously. She stroked Ig's furry head like a puppy, "Yes, yes, you are not cute at all, you are very manly." Although her tone was very serious, But her expression didn't look like that.

Yige snorted, making it clear that he didn't want to talk to him anymore.Elizabeth smiled and blinked at me, but didn't care.

Because we hadn't seen each other for a long time, we talked for a long time that afternoon.For so many years, I have deliberately not paid attention to what happened in the blood clan society, so I never knew that after the Camarilla war and the daily incident, Zaba deliberately changed the relationship between Camarilla once. Swing to the bottom.

Several small-scale armed conflicts broke out between the West, but fortunately, both sides tried to reconcile the tense situation. After several peace talks, the relationship between the two sides was finally on the right track again.

When I heard the news from Elizabeth of Western Europe, I breathed a sigh of relief, after all, I was the cause of that incident.

"Carlo, I already know about that, I think someone must have messed it up!" Elizabeth said angrily, "I guess it must be that bad woman Sabrina, and no one else in Camarilla would have done it except her." So vicious!"

I smiled lightly, picked up the tomato juice and took a sip, "I've already forgotten about that, and I don't want to mention it again."

"But I still feel angry! I really can't figure out how Gu Li'an would be with that woman..." Halfway through speaking, Elizabeth suddenly stopped talking, and looked at me carefully as if thinking of something.

"what happened?"

Elizabeth shook her head, and buried her face in her coat.

"His Majesty Felian married Miss Swift a month ago." Francis, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth.Elizabeth gouged him out and sighed.

I froze for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Is that so? Then their wedding must be very grand. Maybe it's the most worthy celebration in this century. It's a pity that I can't go to bless them."

I believe that my future performance is absolutely normal, but Elizabeth still looks at me with a worried look.

"Kaylo, you..." She wanted to say something, but was stopped by Francis.Shaking his head at Elizabeth.

The atmosphere suddenly settled down.The seemingly absent sound of rain drifted outside the house, mixed with the clear and crisp bells of the carriage passing by, it was obviously a deserted season, but everything seemed so dull.

It was so dull, it seemed as if all the air had been sucked out.

As evening approached, Elizabeth and Francis were ready to say goodbye.

"Carlo, we will stay in Milan for a while, and I will visit you often." Before getting into the carriage, Elizabeth said reluctantly, pulling my arm.

I smiled and nodded, sent him to the carriage, and watched the carriage disappear at the end of the street.

Just about to enter the door, but was stopped by Higuera.

"What's wrong?" I patted his head.

He sniffed, and the tip of his small nose was a little red.

"Father, I will always stay by your side." He said solemnly, as if making some kind of oath.

I looked at him, with a faint determination on his youthful and immature face.

He doesn't understand my dark past, but he is using his way to relate to me.

As long as this is enough.

"Okay." I said with a smile.

…………

That night, I thought about it for a long time alone.

I am not a persistent person in Yige. I believe that I will forget many things sooner or later.

Even though I have been sad and desperate, those things that once dyed a heavy color in my life are fading away, leaving only some faint traces.

He has a wife who loves him, and I have my descendants, and we can all live happily.

There was a cross in our life, no matter it brought sweetness or pain, it has already passed, so that's all right, I don't want to go back to it.

I don't drink often, but I try to get myself some.

When I heard the news of his marriage, I admit that I was still slightly disappointed, but it was not obvious, like some long-accepted identification.

My past self was so stupid, it could be said to be outrageously stupid.

It's the last time.I told myself. …………

Sooner or later, I won't remember his voice, the color of his glasses, or anything about him.

Then, throw everything away.

………………

When I woke up, my head hurt a little, and my mind was blank for a few seconds.

It was already nine o'clock in the morning, but it was still raining.The gloomy sky and the obstruction of the curtains made the room even darker.

I sat up and touched a hairy head by my hand.It's Iggy, he's sleeping soundly beside my bed.

I wake him up.

He opened his eyes in a daze and looked at me for a while, then closed them quickly.

"Get up, Ig, go to bed." I continued pushing him.

He rubbed his glasses and finally woke up.

"Are you sleeping here like this?" I asked him. …………

He pursed his lips and put on a bitter face.

"You were drunk last night, didn't you know that?"

"Am I drunk?" I was stunned.I remember that I only drank two sips.

"Of course! I'm exhausted enough to help you onto the bed!" He said angrily. …………

"Okay. Thank you, Iggy dear." I smiled and pulled him towards me and kissed him on the glasses.

He was stunned for a moment, and his fair cheeks slowly turned red.

"Well, well, well." He murmured. …………

After noon, the rain finally stopped, and I took Ige to visit them at the place where Elizabeth stayed temporarily on Via Monte in Milan.

Elizabeth was very happy to see that I was in good spirits, but Ig should be the happiest, because he finally drank a glass of fresh human blood from Elizabeth.

Elizabeth likes Yige very much, but her enthusiasm obviously makes Yige overwhelmed.

When I returned in the evening, I found a letter on the window frame, from Werme, signed by Declan.
