kiss the night

"Maybe you think I'm prejudiced against humans again, Zhao, but the combination of humans and pure-blooded vampires has never had any good results. I mean, even if you turn her into a half-blooded vampire, your powers are still the same." It will make you feel alienated, the difference in gender power between vampires is negligible, the most important thing to maintain us is blood..."

"Okay, sir!" Yan Zhao couldn't listen anymore, he couldn't help raising his voice, "Are you worrying a little too much? Jesse and I are just discussing homework!"

His Royal Highness, who has always been honorable, was yelled at.

The entire room was silent, and the tailor who was arranging the hem of Yan Zhao's clothes trembled. He raised his wrinkled eyelids cautiously, and peeked up at the expression of the vampire prince, for fear that his highness would be angry and make the surroundings feel angry. what kind of calamity the people suffered.

Only Elena was giggling beside her without fear.

Yan Zhao glared at her: "Eileen, and you, why did you say such exaggerated things to Laurentine?"

"But the two of you are very close." Elena sat on the handrail of the spiral staircase, dangling her calf, "Also, don't you think it's interesting to watch Laurentine get jealous?"

"Jealous!?" Yanzhao's face turned red immediately, and he turned to look at Laurentine, as if hoping that the vampire prince would refute the mischievous girl. However, Laurentine didn't, he just There was a cold snort from his throat.

"Go back to your room, Elena."

"Well, it's because I gave you such 'good news'." Elena spread her hands, ran up the stairs, made a face at the people below, and disappeared into the The end of the corridor.

For a while, the room became quiet again. However, it was subtly different from the quietness just now. The heat on Yan Zhao's face could not go down. He didn't dare to look up at Laurenting, for fear that the other party would see his guilt.

Laurentine folded his arms and looked at the new student in front of him. His eyes fell from the hair on the top of his head to his ears that were so red that they were almost bleeding, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Such an atmosphere was really not pleasant for the remaining tailors.

He said tremblingly: "Your Highness... You see, Mr. Xiao has tried those few dresses just now, and they all fit well. Which one do you like better?"

"Ask me what to do." Laurentine raised his chin, "Ask himself."

The tailor couldn't help wiping his sweat, thinking, these two vampires are bickering, what do they care about people who get paid to do things.

He cast his eyes on Yan Zhao.

Yan Zhao pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Just wear this set, after all, I am not the protagonist of the ceremony, and the rest of the sets look a bit too fancy." His eyes fell on the mirror, Standing there was a black-haired Asian boy, wearing a white silk shirt with a ruffled collar, and a black dress outside, which outlined his slender waistline.

Yan Zhao has never worn such an expensive dress. Looking at the picture in the mirror, the retro dress reflects the background of the castle behind him, making him look like he has returned to the era when the old nobles were quite prestigious... Lao Lentin's age.

The long-haired vampire standing behind him reached out and patted Yan Zhao's back at some point.

"It's hard to say." Laurentine opened his mouth, and his voice sounded like an aria in the castle.

"Sir, what does this mean?"

"The power of prediction is limited. Until the moment when things happen, who is the protagonist of the ceremony, no one can accurately tell the meaning of the ancestor, even me, the chosen prince."

The moon hangs high outside the window, and the mist fills the entire Red Moon Mountain. The mist seems to be mixed with a subtle red, like a handful of sand from the red land flying in the air—the ceremony is coming, this is the night sky The map composed of the stars in the world tells the creatures living on the ground.

"The Meteorological Bureau of this city reminds that from this evening to tomorrow morning, there will be heavy fog in our city, the visibility will be less than 50 meters, and the highways in this city will be closed. Citizens are requested to arrange travel in advance..."

Yan Zhao was sitting in his room, waiting quietly.

Today, it is obviously not suitable for human beings to travel, but there are many guests visiting Red Moon Castle, breaking the tranquility of the past.Yanzhao looked at the courtyard in front of the castle from the upstairs, and saw that the originally empty courtyard was full of vehicles parked at the moment, and the characters coming out of the vehicles came from all corners of the country. recurring faces.

Yan Zhao has now basically understood the operating rules of the vampire world: these long-lived guys have accumulated a large amount of wealth in their long lives and squeezed into the top part of the pyramid of human society. Most vampires don't stay in the same area for more than 40 years, they will move out, and they will move back with a different identity after many years.

Human memory is short, at least, compared to vampires.

This is a sacrificial ceremony that spans a hundred years, not a dance party. Vampires are solitary animals with a strong sense of territory. They will not choose to socialize on this occasion. They walk around the castle in formal attire There were hardly any footsteps, and only sporadic conversations were heard, mostly in French.

"Sir, Your Highness, please go down, the ceremony is about to begin." Jenny knocked on Yanzhao's door.

Yan Zhao felt uneasy today. His eyes fell on the door, he took a deep breath, and followed Jenny's steps down the stairs. The vampires gathered in the hall, their pale faces reflected by the dim light, were in consciousness. When someone came down the stairs, they gradually raised their blood-red eyes to look at Yan Zhao.

"Etl'enfantchoisiparsonaltesse?" (Where is the child chosen by His Highness?)

"C'estlui." (It's him.)

"J'aientendudirequesonAltesseluiavaitdonnél'héritage.Celareconna?t-ill'identitédesonpartenaire?" (I heard that His Royal Highness gave him the identity of the heir, does this declare the identity of the two partners?)

Yan Zhao could hear the two ladies beside him holding folding fans whispering something, but he couldn't understand French, so he could only feel from their expressions that they were talking about him.

"come over."

Laurentine's voice suddenly came from the other end of the hall, obviously not at a high volume, but the voice was quite deep and deep, reaching everyone's ears, everyone stopped discussing, and spontaneously made way for Yan Zhao, and in the At the other end of the hall, Yan Zhao saw the honorable vampire prince. He was wearing a rather elegant and complicated dark dress today, with a shiny dark purple pattern on the lining, which should be roses.

He held a candlestick in his hand, and the flame of the candle danced, making his golden hair more and more smooth like silk.

During the ceremony, all the vampires showed their true colors. They did not hide their blood-red eyes, erect pupils, and thick fangs in their mouths.

The same is true for Hiko.

His erect pupils contracted the moment he saw Laurentine, and soon he straightened his body and walked towards the prince step by step.

Laurentine smiled, he took Yan Zhao's hand quite naturally, and led him beside him.

"Thank you for coming, we are here today." He said, turned around, and led Yan Zhao to the other side of the castle.

The Red Moon Castle covers a huge area, and Yan Zhao never thought about it before. It turns out that there is an underground tunnel behind that inconspicuous wooden door. He followed Laurentine's side. In the foreground, and behind is a group of vampires lurking into the darkness.

No one spoke, and there were only candles and shadows on the walls in this narrow and long dark passage.

I don’t know how long I’ve been walking, when my eyes suddenly opened up, and Yan Zhao saw a huge circular field made of stones, just like a Colosseum, with a circle hollowed out in the middle of the ceiling, and a stone-built square below it. The sacrificial altar has a pallet on it, and I don't know what items should be embedded.

The vampires spontaneously bowed their heads and stood under the sacrificial altar, while Laurentine was leading Yan Zhao to the altar step by step.

"Sir, do I want to go up too?" Yan Zhao whispered nervously.

"Don't be nervous." Laurentine held his hand slightly, "Everyone has a fixed destiny, just like the orbit of celestial bodies, Zhao, you will have your own."
