After I collapsed, I became a succubus

The four seats were silent for a while, and no one looked at Houston in the center of the banquet under the crystal chandelier.Everyone turned their attention to the visitor.

The person who came was dressed in black, followed by a man in white who was holding his arm by his side.He strolled in the courtyard, and casually took a glass of red wine from the trembling waiter's tray——

Then, as if inviting his subjects, he raised the crystal cup.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening." He said, "May you all have a pleasant charity dinner - I would like to greet you as the former chief of the Holy Knights."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of toasting to Houston and Shelley in the distance—not so much a salute as contempt and arrogance.Just when everyone thought he was going to drink up the wine, the emperor in black made a move that no one expected.

His gesture of toasting for the third time was towards the person beside him.The beauty in white who was brought in by him attracted the rest of the eyes with an almost equal posture.

Then, he drank the glass of wine like drinking blood.Black hair and white skin, only the wine and the tip of the tongue are bright red.

It was not until a long time later that the banquet hall barely regained its former lively atmosphere.Vader calmly found a corner and sat down, which obviously reduced his sense of presence.Wherever he sits is the center of his eyes.

What's more, sitting next to him was a white-haired beauty that no one had ever seen, even though he covered his entire face with a mask.

"I guess he's from the elves." A nobleman whispered to his companion, "Look at his ears! And he's so beautiful..."

"I've never heard of a white-haired elf."

"The feather clan?"

"The feather clan has wings."

Where they couldn't see, Lucian took Vader's arm and whispered in his ear: "Just outside the door, you dirty my shoes."

Vader glanced at him and sneered, "That's why you don't get out of the carriage."

"If I had known it would rain in the evening, I wouldn't have agreed to come here."

Their tit-for-tat words are the lingering love between lovers in the eyes of others.Only Elizabeth's brother showed a very displeased look.He already regarded the position of queen as belonging to the Green family, so he said angrily to Elizabeth: "That person actually brought his lover to a charity dinner! This is a slap in the face of the Green family...Elizabeth?"

He froze for a moment, and saw his sister's eyes were fixed on the white-haired beauty.

Not far away, Grand Duke Murphy shook his wine glass, and once again showed the inscrutable smile of "I understand everything".

Lucian sat on the sofa and yawned.The dinner party was too boring. Although there were a few bold nobles who dared to talk to Vader, no one dared to talk to him, the "canary".With his keen ears, he also heard many people secretly whispering about the Holy Child Lucian, or stomping on him to praise Vader, or using him to blame Vader who was in the same family.

Among them are admirers and friends who knelt under his robes and begged for his favor.

Lucian thought they were so boring.

He stared casually at the buffet tables.After a while, no one came to Vader.Lucian was listening to a nearby nobleman gossip about Miss Elena, the most captivating courtesan in the royal city, when she saw Vader stand up and walk towards them.

Lucian:?

He was a little curious about who Vader was looking for.When Vader walked over, the nobles who had been gossiping were so frightened that their faces turned pale.They backed away again and again, nodded and bowed, and then...

Vader ignored them, took a plate with his own hands, and put a few brightly colored small cakes on it.

Lucian:? ?

Vader came over and threw the plate into his hand: "Eat what you want."

Only then did Lucian realize that what he was staring at in a daze just now was the direction of the little cake.But he replied honestly: "I wear a mask."

Vader: ...

Lucian: "If you don't mind if I take off my mask now and reveal my true face...Of course, I don't mind letting them see that the 'canary' beside you is me."

Vader answered his provocation with action.He took the plate out of his hand, picked one up and chewed it in his mouth.

Lucian: ...

Vader is so childish.

The tyrant who is full of oppression and intimidation, actually eats a small cake gracefully in the corner, this is really no one.

"I'll give it to you when I get back." Vader said suddenly.

Lucian:? ?

The dinner party went on tremblingly.Finally, all the lights except the stage were dimmed.A host in a tuxedo took to the stage.

He announced that the banquet had finally entered the meat part of the evening - the charity auction.

The items sold in the charity auction come from the generosity of various nobles.They may be works of art, jewelry, or collections that are of great personal significance to certain nobles... When it came to this, the host blinked ambiguously.The nobles present all smiled tacitly.For example, Ms. Elena, who recently moved the royal city in the name of beauty, what she donated was her favorite feather fan in the past.

"Thank you again for your generosity and the great support of the Duke of Houston. Of course, all proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Holy See of Light—to thank the Holy See for its contribution to the protection of the human race over the years, and to celebrate the sanctuary in that event. Glory after disaster!"

The host's words were full of emotion, and several sentimental noble ladies couldn't help wiping away the tears from the corners of their eyes with their handkerchiefs.The noble lady Anita turned to her good friend Elizabeth with choked sobs: "God, Elizabeth, I must say, it was great to survive that war... What's wrong with you?"

She saw that her friend's demeanor was uncharacteristically, as if she was out of her mind.Elizabeth shook her head anxiously after a long time and said, "It's nothing."

She clutched her finger with the aquamarine ring.

The lots are revealed piece by piece.It is related to the spiritual pillar of the kingdom - the Holy See. Many nobles have invested a lot of money, ranging from masters' posthumous works to antique vases.To squander their family property to buy high-quality goods and get a charitable name, many nobles competed for red eyes and auctioned the lot for a high price.

One of the most popular pieces is a ruby ​​ring.The ruby ​​is bigger than a pigeon's egg and is surrounded by broken diamonds. It is said that it is the most cherished one of the last queen of the former dynasty known for luxury.The peerless beauty lost her head on the guillotine.When her head rolled down, the last drop of blood and tears in her eyes also fell on the ring on her finger.

This poignant legend obviously adds a bit of color to this luxurious ring.In order to please the same lover, two aristocrats fought for a life-and-death high price for it.Lucian looked at the two of them, thinking that sometimes a man's self-esteem is really funny.

Until his ear moved, watching Vader also leisurely raised his hand.

"Seventy thousand gold pounds."

He reported a number that made everyone have to remain silent, but could not remain silent.

Even without this number, no one would dare to compete with Vader for his favorite lot.So the hang tag of the item was respectfully delivered to Vader by the waiter.The waiter carefully flattered Vader's taste, and the emperor in black just smiled softly.

"It looks very similar to my lover," he said casually.

Lucian:?

Items will not arrive until after the auction

Taiwan to exchange.Wade was not in a hurry, he just threw the tag into Lucian's hand: "Take it."

Lucian: ...

Wade glanced at him, and then heard Lucian say: "Master Wade, is this considered embezzlement of the treasury?"

Vader smiled sarcastically: "In the exile caused by your frame, I gained far more than you imagined."

"Oh..." Lucian blinked and said, "Then congratulations?"

Staring at the silver mask, Vader suddenly felt that it was not a good idea to bring Lucian here.

He wanted to take off his mask, right here, pressing him on the sofa and biting and kissing him fiercely, but he knew that he absolutely couldn't bear to be seen by those people who were lying in his arms Lucian was being raped by him When kissing...that extremely gorgeous appearance.

Seeing that Vader photographed the priceless ring for his "lover", everyone present was a little commotion.After seeing this scene, Elizabeth's face became even paler - but it was not the reason that everyone thought.Her brother patted her sister on the shoulder and comforted her: "Elizabeth, wait, the Green family must not suffer this humiliation."

Although this is the Green family's attempt to cling from the beginning to the end.

After several treasures that were scrambled for, another piece of jewelry was finally ushered in—it was the most precious emerald necklace of a queen known for her nobleness and holiness, the largest one was in the shape of a drop, pure and flawless in color, Looking at it from a distance, it seems that you can see the flash of cat's eyes.

This string of jewelry was donated by Grand Duke Murphy, and its value is much higher than the ruby ​​ring just now.So someone joked: "Green, the color of this necklace matches your family's surname very well."

"It's a pity that it lacks some legendary color." Green said.

"Legendary color is not necessarily a good thing. At least the owner who once held it will have a happy ending." One person agreed.

Green smiled with satisfaction, so he held up a sign to take a photo of this necklace for his sister - the root cause is also to save face for the Green family.

But when he bid for [-] gold pounds and saw that the necklace was about to be purchased, Vader's voice came slowly again.

"Seventy-one thousand gold pounds." Vader said.

Green gritted his teeth: "Seventy-five thousand pounds!"

"Seventy-six thousand gold pounds."

Vader was like a cat catching a mouse, always paying a thousand pounds more than what he offered.Green gradually lost his mind. Seeing the price soaring to [-] gold pounds, he wanted to raise his card again, but Elizabeth grabbed his cuff.

"Brother, forget it." She whispered.

Green shook off his sister's hand.He was already red-eyed, and he wanted to fight again when he raised his card. Clinker Wade said directly this time: "One hundred thousand gold pounds."

"eleven……"

When Green was about to raise the placard to speak again, the waiter from the auction came to him and whispered to him.After a while, Green Qing blushed and put down the sign.

The necklace tag also fell into Vader's hands.At the same time, several nobles who heard those whispers also started talking in low voices.

"What did the waiter say?"

"If you want to take the picture, you need to settle the payment on the spot. He is confirming whether Green can take out the gold pounds on the spot..."

"Without this amount of money, but wanting to show off this spirit, the Green family is really... tsk tsk."

Green sat with an extremely ugly face.He was immersed in such a gloomy mood, and he didn't even look at his sister's expression.

The hanging tag was thrown into Lucian's hand by Vader again.This time he also smiled at the waiter, saying: "It is also very similar to my 'lover'."

Lucian pondered over the ruby ​​ring and this string of emerald necklaces.They don't really have much in common other than they all look expensive.

Unexpectedly, Vader is actually red-green color blind.For a moment, Lucian felt that he and Morgan must have a common language.

The auction is divided into three sessions: upper, middle and lower.After the first half of the auction ended, there was a break. Lucian raised his eyes and saw a slightly familiar figure flashing past.

That is……

"Your adoptive uncle, Duke Sissel." Vader whispered softly in his ear, "Do you want to go up and say hello?"

The current Lucian is a disgrace to the entire Sissel family.

"If you want to piss him off." Lucian winked at Vader.

Vader fell silent.

Duke Sissel walked out of the auction hall.Lucian couldn't figure out what he was doing.Now he is just sleepy, hoping that the auction will end soon.

Then the midfield starts.The host invited the handwriting of Grand Duke Murphy, the pen of the Duke of Houston, and the long-awaited feather fan of Miss Elena, etc. All these items were exorbitantly priced, except for Miss Elena's beauty. The other pieces are for the sake of the two great nobles.Lucian only listened to Elena's anecdotes with great interest.Vader suddenly bit his earlobe and whispered behind his ear: "Are you interested in that woman?"

Lucian froze, and said, "I just think she is more qualified to be a succubus than me."

Vader's behavior today is simply crazy, as if he is acting like his lover.

"I can invite her to show you." Vader behaved politely.

Seeing someone looking this way, Lucian became a little more malicious.He deliberately changed his voice and blew into Vader's ear: "I don't like sharing."

Just act.he thinks.

Next in the collection are paintings by Elizabeth Green.The paintings of this aristocratic lady known for her painting skills, beauty and kindness also fetched an unexpected high price.Her brother was proud of it.It's just that it was not the mysterious nobleman himself who came to the stage to receive the tag, but a waiter with an unfamiliar face who called for him.

The waiter also made a request: "The master hopes that Miss Green can hand over the painting to him."

Elizabeth absent-mindedly complied.She's been out of her mind all night, even her good friend Anita can tell.

"The next collection..." The host pushed the monocular lens, and was a little surprised when he saw that there was another collection on the list written in cursive characters. However, it is normal for the nobles to donate something temporarily, but that person His name was written in rare ancient characters, which he couldn’t tell for a while, “The next collection is a handcrafted quill, its feathers come from the purest snowy egret, the pearls inlaid on it are the tears of sirens, diamonds It is a rare blue color."

The temporary collection was pushed up by the waiters, and the waiters uncovered the cloth, and the items under it were really beautiful.

"And its owner is..."

Host stuck.

His arm holding the list began to tremble.Many nobles in the audience noticed his abnormality and began to discuss in a low voice.Grand Duke Murphy gracefully prepared to control the scene to appease everyone, while Houston, who hosted the banquet, frowned, exchanged glances with Cardinal Shelly, and then turned to his servant boy to ask to check Condition.

In this vaguely uneasy atmosphere, Lucian behind the silver mask also opened his eyes.He glanced around in the dim crowd, but didn't find his adoptive uncle.

Vader's father, Dalton Sissel, who has become a stranger to Vader.

It seems that since halftime, he left this hall and never returned.

In the suffocating silence and anxious whispers, the host pushed his monocle lens and said his next words in a trembling voice.

But like a thunderbolt.

"The owner of this precious quill is." The host slowly read the string of ancient Chinese characters with a song-like tone.

"Lucien Sissel."
