The Vampire Parenting Diaries

A new topic has recently popped up on the Bloodline Forum. Once it was brought up, it became a question that all users wanted to know almost overnight—"What happened to that guy recently?"

As we all know, there is only one big person left in the blood clan so far, and the only one who can be called by this title is the first ancestor prince. This topic started from the prince's recent abnormal behavior.

This abnormality does not refer to how much the prince's attitude towards them has changed, or how much reward he has given them for his kindness, but refers to the look in the eyes of His Royal Highness when he met them.According to several blood clans who visited His Highness the Prince recently, His Highness is no longer always looking down at books, doing his own things, and treating them as nothing like before. Instead, he has been watching them all the time. It's like watching that muscle on their face grow out of place.

All the vampires examined by His Royal Highness walked out of the Lockwood Manor shaking their legs. This movement was not out of shame, but out of fright.

Every move of His Highness is tinged with mystery. They can't understand His Highness's thoughts, and they don't dare to speculate at will. The only thing they can do is try their best to ignore the eyes that fall on their faces.But the presence of that gaze is too strong, and the vampire's perception of external things is too sensitive, even though they have given themselves enough psychological hints, they still can't completely ignore it.

He could only continue to talk to His Highness with a smile that was about to freeze.

However, it is worth noting that whenever the smiles on their faces become stiff and false, His Highness will look away as if losing interest, and return to the previous state.

This rule was proposed by a vampire who visited His Royal Highness twice in three days. Once it was published, it quickly climbed the forum hot list, and the following people left messages intending to follow suit.

Elphons looked at the half-smiling vampire in front of him, noticed the slightly twitching corner of his mouth, and looked away boredly, no longer observing this stiff expression.

It was also because he moved his eyes away that he didn't see the suddenly relaxed expression of the blood race and the hand that was clenched and now loosened by his side.

Successful.

The vampire silently celebrated his success in his heart. He took a small step to verify the authenticity of that post, and it was also a big step to understand the psychology of His Royal Highness. If this continues, maybe one day they will be able to conclude A plan of action that would not anger His Royal Highness at all.

Thinking of this, his expression unconsciously relaxed, and the smile on his face became a bit more genuine.

The next second, His Royal Highness glanced over, noticed his expression, and fixed his gaze on his face calmly.

vampire:"……"

The answer to the puzzling question of the vampires is actually very simple.It's just that they turned to ashes in the sun, but they never thought that the reason why His Royal Highness kept staring at their faces was actually just to observe their facial expressions.

There is not much difference between vampires and humans in general. They have everything that humans have, and even have more perfect and advanced functions. The sensory system is the same, and so is the facial expression.

They are very good at using their advantages in all aspects to fight for their own interests and obtain prey.Humans are easily captured by their eyes. Sometimes, even without the ability to hypnotize, they can use their outstanding appearance and sweet words to deceive themselves into food.

Because of this, among all the expressions, the most commonly used by the blood race is the smile.

Almost all blood races make full use of their external conditions to hunt, and among this "all", Elphons is not included.

The ancestor of the blood race disdains to treat prey with coaxing methods. He thinks highly of himself, and human beings are not worthy of his rhetoric and seduction. Prey are usually captured directly, or through offerings from the next level.

In a civilized society, it was even simpler. He signed an agreement with some hospitals through Old Evan, and exchanged a steady stream of investment every year for blood resources, so he could get food without going out.

This made him live an increasingly self-contained and closed life.

He hadn't even realized that he had never smiled at a child until Uriah asked.

I never cared about myself in the eyes of children.

It was also at that time that he began to pay attention to his expression. After finding that he could not make changes in front of the mirror, he resolutely turned his target to the blood clan who came to visit every day.

Observing the expressions of these vampires made progress much faster than looking at myself with a straight face every day.

After witnessing the process of a vampire changing his face in an instant, Elphons curled his lips thoughtfully, feeling that his expression was no longer as stiff as before, and he was quite satisfied with the results of recent practice.

He has almost mastered the expression of smiling now, and he will no longer habitually put on a serious face from time to time to scare the child when chatting with Ulea.

Uriah sat on his lap, with his feet a short distance from the ground, just enough to rock back and forth, and was reading to him the story she had just heard from the teacher today.

"The fox said to the little prince, as long as you tame me, in your eyes, I will be different from other foxes..."*

After reading this, Ulea raised her head: "What does 'domestication' mean? The teacher explained it again today, but I still don't understand."

The child frowned, and regarded the word that he had heard the explanation but still didn't understand as an insurmountable gap, so he could only ask Elphons for help.In his eyes, Elphins is the most powerful and knowledgeable place, and he will definitely be able to answer his questions.

The same is true.

Elphons patted his head, and tried to explain it with what he could understand, using the content in the book as an example. Yulia listened carefully for a long time, and then smiled: "Oh, I understand."

He quickly used the people around him to draw inferences: "Just like my husband and I, can it also be said that my husband domesticated me?"

Elphinx: "..."

This metaphor stunned Elphons for a moment, before shaking his head: "It's different."

Before the words were finished, seeing Ulea's still ignorant expression, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, and there was a smile in her eyes.

Having seen his smile many times, Uriah is no longer as excited as she was when she saw it at first, and her mind is still on that question, and she finally feels that she understands it, but after saying this, it seems to be wrong.

He was a little discouraged: "It's so difficult."

Elphons put his arms around him halfway: "It's really difficult. After a while, when you grow up a bit, you should be able to understand."

In order to make Yuria no longer obsessed with this question, he changed the subject and said, "What happened next in this story? Can you tell me again?"

Ulea nodded: "Of course!"

The child's attention is easily distracted by his words, but after a while, he is immersed in the world of the story again, telling the story to him with a still immature child's voice.

Elphons closed his eyes, his ears were filled with Uriah's voice, his heart seemed to be soaked in a pool of warm water, comfortable and soft.

After a while, he felt the child sitting on his lap move, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Just as he was about to open his eyes, he heard Uriah's obviously lowered voice.

The child gave a "shush" first, and then said to the visitor, "Mr. is asleep."

Judging from the breath, the person who came was old Evan.

Elphons opened his eyes, and saw that the child was sitting securely on his lap, talking to old Evan with his back turned: "What's the matter, Grandpa?"

Old Evan saw him open his eyes, but he didn't remind Ulea, and also whispered: "I'll invite you to go down for dinner."

Since they moved here, they have always eaten together, but now that Elphin is asleep, do you want to wake them up to eat together?

Ulea seemed to be having a hard time making a decision. Looking back at Elfins' quiet "sleeping face", Elffins closed his eyes in time before he turned his head, wanting to see what he would do next.

The child struggled for a while, and then asked old Evan: "Can you wait a little bit?"

Old Evan paused, and asked, "Is Uriah hungry?"

Ulea subconsciously touched her stomach, and said honestly, "A little bit."

"Then do you want to ask His Highness to get up and eat?" Old Evan said, "Or I will take you there first and leave a portion for His Highness to eat when he wakes up."

Ulea hesitated for a moment, and finally jumped off Elphonse's lap: "Then let Mister rest for a while."

After Elphonse heard their conversation, there were footsteps, one big and one small, staying in the study for a while, the footsteps sounded from far to near, and then something was covered on him, Ulea's voice It sounded again in my ear, still under control, with a very small voice: "Sir, take a good rest. I'll go down to eat first, and I'll come up to accompany you later. I will leave something delicious for you."

Elphons resisted the urge to nod, and did not open his eyes until the footsteps gradually moved away and there was the sound of going down the stairs.

The first thing that caught my attention was the blanket on my body.

It was originally prepared to prevent Uriah from accidentally falling asleep in the study, but unexpectedly, it was covered on him now.

Elphons lifted a corner of the blanket, and could feel a bit of warmth, as if the warmth from Uriah's grip hadn't dissipated.

After rubbing it with my fingers a few times, the faint temperature was very little contaminated, and it naturally dissipated quickly when touched by a cold object.

Without Uriah's temperature, the blanket was useless to him at all. Elphons simply picked up the blanket, put it on the arm of the chair, sat up straight, and looked at the book on the table.

It was Uriah who put down the book that was read just now.

He still remembered which page he was reading just now, and he turned to it as soon as he turned it. There are illustrations in the book, which outline a human figure and a fox with simple lines.

The fox said to the little prince, if you come at four o'clock in the afternoon, I will be happy at three o'clock.This is the result of domestication. *

Elphonse's eyes fell on this sentence, and he didn't move away for a long time.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps in the silent room, and soon, Uriah appeared at the door of the study: "Sir!"

Elphons looked towards the door, just in time to see the smiling face of the child, who was holding a plate of food in his hand, and walked up to him with crooked eyebrows: "It's time to eat."

In fact, he did not tame Uriah.

In a way—Elfens thought, looking at the figure with the plate—maybe Uriah tamed him.
