Bloody and seductive: Notes of a Vampire

I really didn't expect that the password problem of the safe was solved so easily.

When I touched the precision turntable inlaid on the black base of the safe, my fingers manipulated the turntable to turn left twice, right once, left three times, right...

With a crisp click, the thick silver cabinet door swung open.

Earl, you must want me to help you complete the agreement with Rui, right?

There is a neat pile of paper documents on the upper shelf of the cabinet, and a dried rose is lying on top of the documents.Picking up the rose, it turned into fragments between my fingers, and the traces of purple red were like bloody tears.

The first few sheets of paper documents are the house deed and title deed of the Mantel Manor in Yorkshire.Next to the coat of arms at the end of the certification document, there is a handwritten cursive signature: Richard VonHamilton, as elegant and gorgeous as the Earl himself.

In addition to the papers and stacks of checkbooks, there was a small framed mirror in the safe, which stood against the wall.

Picking up the frame, it turned out to be an inconspicuous piece of paper, with only a single line written on it: The medicine is on the table, don't forget to take it, I will come back early.Signed is Rae (Rui Yi).

Recalling what Buzz said, Rui seldom leaves when the Earl is sick... This piece of paper should have been written by Rui Yi in a hurry before going out, but it was treasured by the Earl.

A strange feeling came to mind.

It seems that the Earl is not as arrogant and ruthless as I imagined.Although he used very despicable means to get Rui at the beginning, he has been using his own way to love Rui.

Will this destructive love also have the power of nirvana and rebirth?

Unfortunately, the Earl never got an answer.

In the corner of the second floor, I also found an exquisite pocket watch and an old group photo.

Yellowing around the edges of the photo shows the teenage Earl of Hamilton with his family.Beside his stern-faced father with a big beard, is his graceful and luxurious mother, with a touch of melancholy in her brows.The boy standing with the young Earl should be his younger brother. The two brothers look nothing alike.Not only does the younger brother's facial contours resemble his father's, but he also has more hostility in his expression.The earl inherited his mother's stunning beauty, with naturally curly black hair and an angelic face, and his emerald eyes were deeper and more charming than his mother's.

Looking at them, inexplicable depression seemed to be stimulated from the depths of the body.What kind of unknown past is hidden in this seemingly unhappy noble family?

In the afternoon, I sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching a round of red sun gradually sinking to the west.

Reaching out to touch the warm afterglow falling on the window lattice, counting down the number of times I can still see the sun.

I began to dread the coming of night.

Every time night fell, I was one step closer to the utter darkness.

"Count, I'm back."

Turning around, I quietly looked at the handsome man who appeared at the door of the bedroom.

Ray was wearing brown casual clothes, dark brown riding boots on his feet, and a fur-brimmed wide-brimmed hat in his hand, looking dusty.He must have driven a lot back and forth today.

"Come and sit." I pointed to the white wicker chair beside me.In the morning, I asked Buzz to replace all the furnishings and decorations in the living room. The fresh and bright colors really suit me better.

Rui Yi looked around in some surprise, then strode over and sat down beside me.

"Something happened at Mantel Manor, so I rushed back to deal with it." He explained in a deep voice, "Are you feeling better?"

"I'm fine now!"

I believe that my complexion must look very good, and I am completely different from last night.Ray seemed relieved.

"I have something for you." I smiled and stood up, went to the bedside table and took a large leather envelope and handed it to Rui, "Open it and have a look."

His brows raised suspiciously, he opened the seal, and took out a few thin pages from the envelope.

The next moment, the blue eyes widened: "This is?!"

"I will return these house deeds and land deeds to you. From now on, Mantel Manor will be fully owned by you."

The surprised expression gradually returned to calm, and he looked at me again: "Does this also mean that the contract has been terminated?"

"Yes." I twitched the corner of my mouth, "If you want, you can leave this castle now."

I thought he would ask me why I terminated the contract in advance, but he just sat there, looking at me without saying a word, his eyes were unusually deep.

"You want me to leave right away?" He finally spoke, frowning slightly.

"Isn't that exactly what you expected?" I smiled back, with a deliberate sarcasm in my tone, "Or, do you still expect some extra compensation from me?"

He stood up abruptly, strode straight to the door without looking back.

The bedroom door was slammed shut behind him with a loud bang.

I leaned back on the wicker chair and looked out the window.The night has enveloped the earth, but the slight cold can't penetrate my skin.Just because my body is colder than it.

Whether I am the earl or Xia Chen, I don't want you to see me at night again.

Farewell...Rae.
