[Comprehensive British and American] vampires modern daily life

Although Eunice learned more or less about some strange diseases that were prevalent in Sparta through the maid's narration, Leonette never told her about the relevant incidents, and he still brought them with him every evening. Walking into her bedroom covered with exhaustion, he quickly put on a smile on his face when he caught her sight.

That made Eunice feel like she was the only harbor that this man could dock at. Since Leonette didn't say anything, she didn't ask, but she just took his hand suddenly while the man was peeling grapes for her, carefully. Carefully stroking the thick callus on his palm.

Leonit was stunned for a moment, then asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"I'm just wondering how long you've been practicing weapons." Eunice said, "When I was running around in the streets, when I was messing around, and when I stayed in bed until noon every day."

The more she talked, the more she felt that the first 19 years were a waste of time, but if she could work harder, be as strong, brave, intelligent and determined as every Spartan woman, maybe she could help him.

But Leonite just shook his head, and he used his rough hands to brush the hair hanging on her cheeks behind her ears, and said: "This is the responsibility and obligation of every Spartan man, to make himself The most valiant warrior, defending the land, defending the country, and his own wife." His hand carefully touched her belly through the Doria-style Heaton linen on her body, "and the child."

"You can sing and dance with confidence, run around in the streets, play in the mountains, and stay in bed until noon every day." Leonette said softly, "I'm here."

During that time Leonette was extremely busy.

And Eunice also learned from the maids that because of the epidemic brought by the Hilos, the people of Sparta were panicked, and because both generals died of the disease, there was a lot of turmoil in the army. Te was busy appeasing the sergeant, boosting morale, and investigating the Helo man who fled sick.

And the boy who tearfully beheaded his parents joined the army and followed Leonit to the streets of Sparta every day, trying to find the Helo and avenge his parents.

Once he followed Leonit to Eunice's bedroom, but did not enter at the door. Eunice saw him standing in front of the window. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and Biaro looked at him. Even younger, with a very handsome appearance, but he has a melancholy temperament at a young age, which is not quite like other serious and heroic Spartan warriors with hostile eyebrows and eyes.

He stood under the grape arbor at the door, his body straight, like an exquisite sculpture.

Leonette peeled a plate of grapes for her, saw her looking out the window curiously, and asked, "Are you looking at Marcus?"

"Marcus?" Eunice glanced back at Leonit.

"Yes, his name is Marcus, and he has just turned 15." Leonette said slowly, "His parents are the only son. He was tied to a stool by his father every day when he was young because he didn't want to join the army. But he never let go. After his parents passed away some time ago, he volunteered to join the army and assist me in investigating the strange disease that was prevalent in Sparta recently."

Eunice nodded after hearing what Leonette said, "I'm only 15 years old..."

"A Spartan man at 15 can already be himself," Leonette said.

"The 15-year-old Luo is still having a temper with his sister." Eunice smiled.

In the past year of marriage, Leonette has often heard Eunice mention this brother who is not related to her by blood, and also knows that this young man named A Luo has unilaterally lost his temper with his sister because he does not want his sister to marry far away. Every once in a while, a letter with a curse is sent from Corinth, but Eunice doesn't care, and writes back happily every time, describing her experience in Sparta carefully. Life.

Hearing Eunice mention Ah Luo again, Leonit frowned slightly, then suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Before you seemed to say that your father was going to arrange a marriage for him?"

Eunice leaned against the window frame, and smiled helplessly: "He still insisted on refusing to agree. This time, my father's letter mentioned this matter, and asked me to write to persuade him, but Ah Luo was so stubborn. Very, I may not be persuaded."

She walked slowly on tiptoe to Leonette, and fell into Leonette's arms. Leonette immediately reached out and hugged her firmly. As soon as he got angry, Eunice knew that he would definitely want to Preaching to himself, he quickly said with a smile: "Father wrote to say that he sent someone to find my childhood clothes and put them on for my little sister who was born not long ago. He felt as if he saw me when I was young and missed me very much Leonit, tell me, do you want to send someone to find out the clothes you wore when you were a child and wear them for our future children?"

Leonette frowned, and was successfully distracted by her: "What if it's a girl?"

"Then I'll learn how to make clothes now." Eunice smiled with eyes crooked, "I'm going to dress her up beautifully and make her the second girl who can dance in the Spartan palace, and then you It’s a feast for the eyes, sitting in your seat every day, watching your big girl and little girl dance for you, do you think you are the happiest man in Sparta?"

Leonette curled up his lips slightly as if infected by her smile: "Yes."

That night, Leonit led the army to watch the night in the city again. Eunice lay on the windowsill, counted the stars for a while, and then looked at the city below the mountain. She tried to find the candles of the night watch team in the lights of the fireflies in the city. After looking at it for a while, she could only give up. She threw the half-made baby clothes aside, and then sat at the table, planning to write a letter to Luo.

From her father's letter, she knew that the girl who was going to be engaged to Arrow was named Sulpicia, who was the same age as Arrow, with a beautiful appearance and a gentle and generous personality.It's just that A Luo himself has no interest in getting married, and when he met Sulpicia, his attitude was very cold. Not long ago, her father talked to A Luo, and A Luo very clearly rejected his father's proposal.

Father said that Ah Luo's personality has changed a lot since Eunice married far away. Although he was not very cheerful in the past, he was at least kind to others, but now he is a lot gloomy and shuts himself in the house every day. Do nothing, or bury your head in writing letters, and burn one after another.Father and Celia were worried about his condition. They thought he was lonely because his sister was snatched away. They only thought that with a wife, he should get better, but his personality The stubborn part hasn't changed at all.

"Ah Luo has been with you since he was a child and is closest to you. I think he should listen to what you say."

Eunice looked at the end of her father's letter and smiled wryly. It is true that Ah Luo has been close to her since she was a child, but after the eve of her wedding, that kind of close sibling relationship seemed to be infiltrated into something suddenly. It's strange, it is estimated that Ah Luo not only can't listen to her words, but will be angry because of it.

Thinking of the look in Ah Luo's eyes when she was married, she felt a little headache.

The young man's hatred is so pure, so pure that one can see everything from the eyes alone.

She propped her chin on one hand, bit her lip, and thought about the appropriate tone for her letter to Ah Luo.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near outside the window. She thought that the maid had brought the evening fruit, and she was about to stand up to open the door, when she suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing on her bare/exposed nape of the neck. Turning around, she only saw a man in ragged clothes squatting on the window sill. Before she had time to be surprised, that man had already jumped off the window sill quickly, and stretched out his hand to strangle her throat.

This man's hands have no warmth, they are as cold as a dead person. Under his messy hair, there are a pair of red eyes that seem to have been stained with blood. Those eyes are fixed on Eunice, the red in the pupils It made people tremble, and there was still a beast-like angry sound in his throat, as if he was going to crush her neck in the next second.

His hands weren't too tight, at least it didn't make Eunice feel suffocated, but she opened her eyes wide and looked at this man in a mess, but couldn't help trembling all over. She opened her mouth, wanting to ask for help, but Realizing that she couldn't make a sound at all, she was even more frightened when the man showed her sharp fangs, her heart pounding violently in her chest.

"It's all forced by you..." the man said vaguely, "They killed my wife, and I will pay for it..."

Eunice was strangled by her, and she kept backing away until her back hit the edge of the table, and her palm touched the handle of the silver knife on the table.

It was used by Leonit when she cut the fruit for her, and the maid hadn't had time to take it away.

And that person's fangs had already approached her side neck.

Eunice gritted her teeth, grabbed the knife, and slammed it into the back of the opponent's neck. The man reacted very quickly and reached out to hold her wrist. She only heard a crisp "click" from her wrist. "Sound, the next moment, the piercing pain rushed up from the wrist and up the arm, she wailed, and let the knife slip from her palm, and fell heavily on the ground.

And Eunice's heart, along with the knife, fell into the abyss fiercely.

That person seemed to be completely irritated by her. He let out a roar like a wild animal, held her shoulder firmly with one hand, then bent down his upper body, and pierced his fangs into the skin of her side neck.

At that moment, Eunice didn't even feel the pain, her severed right hand was hanging limply by her side, while the other hand clenched tightly, allowing the nails to dig deep into the flesh.

She felt that she was going to die here, she hadn't seen Leonette again, she just wrote the beginning of the letter to Luo, and her child...her baby...had not come out to see the world.

Suddenly, she felt the child in her belly move, she opened her eyes like a drowning person who suddenly regained consciousness, stretched out her left hand and grabbed the man's hair, screamed angrily, and bit it too. the opponent's neck.

This person's skin was not only cold, but also extremely hard. She felt as if she had bitten a rock, but she was biting the other person tightly and did not let go. human neck.

She knew that what she had done was futile, but as a mother, she didn't want to let anyone hurt her child, even if she licked a bite mark on this person's neck.

She didn't know how long she had been biting, because of blood loss, her mind became more and more blurred, but she could clearly feel that the temperature was rapidly draining from her body, and her teeth unknowingly let go of the man. neck, eyes closed and let out a whimper.

At this time, she heard the uniform footsteps of the Spartan soldiers, and heard someone kick open the door of her room, and vaguely saw Leonit rushing over, and Marcus swung his weapon and slashed at the man. The Hilo people, but the Hilo people didn't panic, they just laughed wildly and said: "I have revenge, I have revenge, Leonette, I finally let you feel the feeling of losing your wife!"

As soon as his words fell, his head was chopped off by Marcus, and he was completely silent.

Eunice curled up in Leonette's arms, shivering uncontrollably from the cold caused by blood loss, and she felt the hands with thick calluses gently caressing the corners of her mouth, biting her tightly on Hilo Carefully wiped away the blood oozing from her gums when she was human, and then moved down her chin to touch the blood hole made by the two fangs on the side of her neck.

"Eunice... Eunice?"

She heard Leonette's call, barely opened her eyes, and smiled weakly.
