[Comprehensive British and American] vampires modern daily life

"My worst time was probably when my father threw me into the Eurotas River in order to make me overcome my fear of water."

Eunice leaned lazily on the bed, looking at Leonit intently. He was sitting by the bed, with his head buried, using his hands that were thickly calloused by the weapon, carefully She peeled the grape skins for her without hesitation, while talking about the embarrassing things about her childhood.

He is the prince of Sparta, and he is also a very standard Spartan warrior carved out of the mold of Spartan education. He is tall, strong and taciturn.In the beginning, their daily conversations were only two necessary sentences. Most of the time, he nodded or shook his head, and never opened his mouth unless it was absolutely necessary. Before Eunice got married, her father told her that for Sparta For men, words are military orders, so they never speak easily.

But now, he was able to talk about his past with a normal expression, and while talking, he brought the already peeled, crystal clear and plump grapes to Eunice's mouth.

Eunice stuck out her tongue and rolled the grape into her mouth, and the tip of her tongue licked Leonette's fingertips along the way.

The sweet and sour juice of the grapes escaped between her lips and teeth. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Leonit, but the latter just froze, then shook his head with a helpless smile, and then lowered his head to peel the grapes for her. .

Supporting the bed with her hands, she leaned towards him and asked, "Throw you directly into the Eurotas River? What if you haven't learned yet?"

"That's because I'm incompetent and unworthy to be the prince of Sparta." Leonit said calmly, "Spartan warriors should have nothing to fear."

"Didn't your mother stop him?"

"If I don't get over it, my mother will be disappointed because of me and feel that I have lost to Sparta."

"Fortunately, you finally got over it." Eunice patted her chest, then thought of something, and asked him softly, "In the future, will you throw our children into the river like your father did?"

Leonette looked up at her: "I'm afraid his mother will come here to mess with him before I throw him into the river."

Eunice gave him a nasty look, and a smile appeared on his usually serious face, then he reached out and stroked her hair.

Eunice rubbed against his palm, felt the rough calluses on his palm with her forehead, and then felt the other's fingertips slide from her forehead down the bridge of her nose, and then to her lips. She smiled lightly and felt the other's tenderness again. Her thumb stroked the curve of her mouth.

She opened her eyes, only to see his Adam's apple shaking up and down slightly, as if he was also smiling.

The summer on the Morea Peninsula is similar, dry and rainless, but the Gulf of Corinth has a slightly fishy sea breeze, and you can still feel a little bit of moisture, while the Laconia Plain is hopeless. The heat of the medicine is being scorched unreservedly by the scorching sun all the time.

Eunice conceived in the second summer of her marriage to Spar.

After she was pregnant, she did not wander around the palace all day long, nor did she follow Leonit for a walk along the Eurotas River. She even picked up a pen and wanted to write a letter to Corinth. He was picked up by Leonette's waist, and gently placed on the bed.

"You can't be tired."

Eunice was rather dissatisfied with this.

Her mother passed away when she was very young, and her father spoiled her so much that she never forced her to do anything, so she was like a wild child, taking Aro all over Corinth Sitting on the walls of the Acropolis blowing the sea breeze, lying in the wild rose bushes outside the city and taking a nap.

Suddenly being confined in an extremely narrow range for her and unable to move around at will, it really made her feel a little panicked.

So Leonette took some time to accompany her every day, telling her stories, including the glorious history of the unshakable Dorians conquering the Morea Peninsula, and the embarrassing things about his own childhood.

"I'm different from you." Eunice's crooked eyes were full of smiles, "I've never been so depressed. My father is not willing to let me suffer."

Leonid nodded, and said in his usual serious tone: "You are the one who should be spoiled, and I won't let you suffer a little bit."

Eunice laughed at him: "Then why didn't you stop me when they made me run and throw the discus?"

"It's for your own good." Leonette said earnestly, "I hope you will grow stronger and live a long, healthy life."

Live for a long time.

Eunice still doesn't know whether Leonette's wish is a blessing to her or a curse to her. Her life has indeed continued to this day, but as a human soul, she has already died when she was 19 years old. Years, it has completely dissipated.

During that time, Eunice stayed in the bedroom every day, unable to do anything. She could only sit in front of the window and count the height of the sun to count the time. The maids in charge of taking care of her would regularly bring sumptuous meals to room, and then tell her some interesting things about the city of Sparta recently.

In fact, Eunice did not believe that there would be any interesting things in this city.

When she was still in Sparta, she still heard that in the legend of Sparta, there was the most beautiful queen Helen who triggered the ten-year Trojan War. When she arrived in Sparta, she didn't know that even a decent city wall and streets were in this city. There is no city, only the uniform footsteps of the army, and summer without a trace of sea breeze.

But one day, the maid said that the son of a general in the city was killed by a Helo who suddenly appeared.

It was the first time Eunice heard such a legend, and she was a little curious, so she asked, "Bit to death? What about the murderer, have you caught it?"

"No, he escaped very quickly." The maid said, "Recently, the prince led troops to suppress another riot by the Hilo people. More than 1000 people died. It must be a remnant trying to vent his anger."

Eunice nodded.

In the story of Leonite, the Dorians were the tigers who swept across the Morea Peninsula. They destroyed the mighty Mycenae, continued southward, and then came to the Laconia Plain, where they easily defeated the The aborigines established their own city, Sparta, and took the aborigines as their slaves, becoming "Helos".

Later, Sparta conquered its neighbor Messenia, and combined the Messenians into "Helos", so "Helos" became synonymous with Spartan slaves.

"However, the strange thing is that the whole body of the person who was bitten to death was drained of blood, and I don't know what happened." The maid said, shaking her head in confusion.

Probably some strange disease.

Eunice thought so.

And soon, the second victim appeared again. It was another general who followed Leonid to suppress the Hilo rebellion. He was also strangled by a Hilo and bit through with his teeth. up the artery.However, as a battle-tested general, he did not die inexplicably. Instead, with his last breath, he cut the opponent's wrist with his own dagger.

According to eyewitnesses, he heard the screeching sound of a sharp tool cutting stone, and the sharp blade of the dagger rolled on the Xiluo man's wrist, and only one cut was made, except that it was broken. The opened wound was not as bloody as everyone thought, but just oozing black and red old blood.

Of course the Hilo man also escaped, his speed was very fast, even the well-trained Spartan fighters were far behind.

The most frightening thing was that day, when the general's wife was arranging his body, the general who had been dead for a long time suddenly opened his eyes, waiting for his wife with a pair of blood-red pupils, and then opened his eyes. He opened his mouth, revealing two sharp fangs that looked like wild animals, and bit his wife's neck.

It was his son who stood by and exhausted his strength to chop off his head. Regardless of the weapon he had rolled, he took his father's head and threw it into the kitchen stove.

In an instant, a strange blue fire shot up into the sky, but the fire was cold.

And his mother, who had been bitten by his father, said weakly when she was dying: "This disease is too terrible. Hurry up, before I die, cut off my head and burn it..."

So, within a day, the boy cut off his parents' heads with tears in his eyes, and threw them into the fire with his own hands.

"So, the prince is right to tell you not to leave the palace." The maid said, "There is a strange disease in the city, it is too dangerous."

After hearing this, Eunice patted her chest: "Don't worry, I won't run around anymore, after all..."

She stroked her belly.

After all, what she carried was another little life.
