[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

The spacious living room was now full of radiant vegetarian vampires. ——The Cullen family headed by Carlisle stood on the north side of the house, and facing them were the members of the Denali family from south-central Alaska.

Tanya, Arina, Kate, Carmen and Eliza.

All of them have perfect appearance, figure, and a pair of beautiful eyes that are as bright and warm as gilt gold.

This embarrassed the only human boy in the room. ——After greeting the vampires of the Karen family, all members of the other family looked at him with expressions of "too surprising" and "I can't believe it".

It made him feel rather uncomfortable.

"Hmm... hello." Edmund dryly introduced himself under the encouragement of Carlisle's eyes, (the boy felt that Carlisle was always used to treating him as a little kid who needed to be guided no matter what he did, This made him feel very helpless. He wanted to protest but he couldn’t think of powerful words to persuade the other party. After all, Carlyle’s experience and experience of more than 300 years is not exaggerating.) "I am Edmund, Edmund Cullen."

"Oh! Hello, human boy." The female vampire with dazzling blond straight hair showed a gentle smile at the boy. —Her name is Kate Denali. "It's lovely.—How old are you?"

"13 is old."

"13 years old?" She looked suspiciously at Carlisle beside Edmund, "No way? He still looks very young."

"Edmund is half Asian, so he looks smaller." Carlisle replied gracefully.

"Oh, maybe you're right, Carlisle." Kate rolled her eyes and straightened up happily, signaling her family to come and see this special member of the Cullen family, "I've never been sure about the age of Asians. —for their race, even grown-ups would look small to me."

"Yeah, we're still not sure if he's eligible for the school's junior basketball program. — oh!" Emmett winked at the boy, only to be elbowed in the chest by Rosalie. ——Edmund suspected that if the blow just now had landed on that beautiful ginkgo tree in the woods, the trunk would have broken off as easily as a toothpick. "Hey! Come on, baby! It's just a joke!"

Rosalie gave him a sharp look.

The boy gave a muffled laugh when he saw this, and then gave Emmett a look of "you deserve it".

"Ah... what a pity." The dark-haired male vampire who had been standing beside Carmen let out a slight sigh. —his fine golden eyes were looking unquestionably at Edmund, who stood to Carlisle's right.

"I'm sorry. Are you talking about me?" the boy looked back at the male vampire named "Elisha", and asked with some doubts. ——He didn't know where he could be called a "pity".Maybe it's because he's currently a weak human?

"No, boy.—I'm just sorry I haven't seen a few decent Asians," Elisha replied.

"Actually, I haven't seen it either. ——Before I came to Alaska, I lived in London, England."

"England.—a fine place, no doubt. I lived there for a while—"

"Elisha." Carmen, who also has dark hair, interrupted her partner. "Carlisle was born in England. I think he must know more about it than you do."

Tanya and Irina who were standing next to Carmen laughed softly.Seeing this, Elisha pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.

"Okay! I think it's almost time! — Everyone, let's start!" Alice, who had already been impatient for a long time, finally found a chance to interject.

She danced from one end of the room to the other like a skilled ballet dancer.

"Carlyle, give a speech!"

———————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————

Edmund didn't listen much to Carlisle's short speech. —his attention was almost entirely on Tanya of the Denali family.

Based on his few minutes of observation, he concluded that the blond vampire must be very fond of Edward. —she could barely take her eyes off his big vampire brother.

Edmund rolled his eyes, planning to find a chance to chat with the vampire named "Tanya".

But the following party did not leave the boy free time.

Because Alice always grabbed him just in time when he was about to run to harass Tanya——

"Ed, can you help me get the plates?"

"Oh well."

"Ed! Can you help Carlisle put the candle in?"

"Ok!"

"Ed! It's time to eat cake, come and sit down! Your seat is next to Edward."

"Oh!"

After eating the cake, there was a dance arranged by Alice.

So, until 11 o'clock in the evening, the boy still didn't find a chance to talk to Tanya.

———————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————

Edmund was not very sociable, so he was not at all interested in the present activity.

But... the vampires in the family all seem to enjoy dancing.

Especially Emmett and Rosalie. ——the vampires in the room had to give them a large space to prevent themselves from being stepped on by the two vampires who were spinning violently.

The boy's eyes couldn't keep up with the vampire's dance. ——Especially after Alice changed to a faster-paced dance song, he could almost only see some fast-moving shadows in front of his eyes.

That's pretty boring.

Edmund sat on the white sofa with his chin resting, a pair of blue eyes as deep as the sky casually looked at the floor in front of him, as if he wanted to find an inconspicuous crack on it.

By the time Carlisle came across the living room to the sofa, the boy was almost dozing off.

"Ed?"

The boy shivered, opened his eyes reluctantly, and looked at the blond surgeon sitting next to him in some confusion.

"Go to sleep."

"But the party isn't over yet.—Isn't it impolite to leave the venue without permission?" Edmund rubbed his eyes, but his parents stopped him in the middle of the movement.

"No. You know, we don't need to go to bed, so we will probably play until tomorrow morning. ——Children better not stay up late, we all understand." Carlisle made a gesture to Elisa at the piano Gestures, signaling to himself to go later, "And I think you'll be bored sitting here by yourself, don't you?"

"Oh.—Okay. But can you wake me up when you're unwrapping presents?" Edmund looked at the radiant Carlisle with hopeful eyes.

"it is good."

"It's great!" The boy jumped off the sofa and straightened his clothes seriously, "Good night, Carlisle!"

"Good night, Ed."

Edmund saluted Carlisle like a little English nobleman, and then quickly ran to the stairs.

The latter watched the boy closely with a gentle smile. ——The latter seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and ran back after yelling "ah".

"Forgot something?"

"Happy birthday, Carlisle." Edmund smacked his lips, put his arms around Carlisle's neck, and at the same time leaned closer to rub against him, "Okay, now I can sleep in peace."

"Thank you.—Go ahead."

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— —————————

"it's a pity."

Carlisle turned around and looked at the dark-haired male vampire with a questioning look.

"Well, he's interesting, but he's not very special. I don't see anything special about him.—You know, whether it's a human or a vampire, as long as there are talents, I can always see them." Elisa smacked his lips, "Everyone in the Karen family seems to have more practical abilities... Oh, of course, I know you don't have the talent collecting talent like Luo... But I still feel a little pity.—— The most powerful talent owner I have seen so far is Benjamin, and his manipulation of the four elephants is simply a masterpiece."

Carlisle nodded in agreement.

He knew that his friend had a penchant for evaluating talent. ——Elisha couldn't see the germination of Edmund's ability, so it's not incomprehensible to feel a little regretful now.This is like a person who likes to read gets a beautifully packaged book, but after he opens it, there is only a blank space inside.

But is this really the case?

Carlisle gave an imperceptible smile. —Escape from Elisa's talent?It seemed his boy had more abilities than he had imagined.

"For us, talent is not the most important thing." Carlisle lifted a washed shiny goblet from the white tablecloth, and the crimson wine in it looked like blood.

"Yeah. ——The idea of ​​the Cullen family is always at odds with ordinary vampires. But I appreciate it."

"Thank you for the compliment, Elisa."

"But . . . Carlisle.—when are you going to convert him? The Volturi may already know of his existence."

"You're right.—So I plan to find time to go to Italy myself, and take Edmund with me."
