I didn't know you were such a vampire
Chapter 22
At this time, Qiao Ya knew why Ricardo said that Piero was nothing like his father Lorenzo.
Lorenzo was not good at running family banks, and even caused several Medici banks in other cities to close down directly, but his yearning for power was no less than that of other Medici family power holders.
When the carders uprising broke out that shook the whole of Florence more than 100 years ago, the on-duty justice bannerman was Salvestro of the Medici family. After entering this century, Cosimo Medici represented the Medici The Qi Bank took over the financial management of the Holy See, expelled the main political opponents, the Albige family, established the current tyrant politics, and became the uncrowned king of Florence.
And his grandson Lorenzo, after succeeding the tyrant of Florence, became the "Great Lorenzo" through the funding of artists and the support of urban public undertakings. , the main participant was hanged in the Piazza della Signoria by the citizens of Florence, it can be seen that his control over Florence is already very complete, whether it is secular or spiritual.
And judging by the fact that he is far less active in pursuing Simonetta than his younger brother Giuliano, Lorenzo is obviously more enthusiastic about power and art.
As his eldest son and the heir of the entire Medici family, Piero easily gave up the right to rule for this day, half-knelt on the ground, and held the laurel crown in front of Gioia.
"After wearing the crown, you have to be responsible to your people." Piero looked at her with a smile and squeezed his eyes, "As your people, I didn't sleep well last night, and it was very difficult at dawn. I felt a little sleepy, and when I closed my eyes, I saw Ares crying bitterly while hugging his dead wife. Miss Qiao Ya, do you know how painful it is?"
Of course Joya knew.
That's how she felt when she was scratching her head and waiting for the publication of the new book "A Song of Ice and Fire". However, George Martin has been taking his time, digging many holes, and keeping pigeons.In this situation, she can't do anything, she just jumped into the pit by herself, and she has to wait for an update even on her knees, and she has to make a wish for Martin's long life before blowing out the candles on her birthday every year, which is also very painful for her.
As a result, she didn't wait for the Pigeon God to fill in the hole until she passed through tragically.
There are still 500 years before Martin's birth, and it seems that she has no way to see Martin fill in all the holes in her life.
Although she had some feelings of sympathy with Piero in her heart, she didn't show it on the face, but stood up slowly, took the laurel crown from Piero, smiled, and said: "" No one in Decameron was king for two days."
"It's in "Medici." Piero also smiled and stood up straight. He spoke earnestly, and even intentionally begged, "I beg you, Miss Joya, Whether I can sleep well tonight depends entirely on your compassion."
"Then I'll try my best to save Mr. Medici." Qiao Ya pretended to be reluctant, and put the laurel crown on her head.
And when the laurel wreath was just put on, almost everyone leaned forward with their upper bodies, and their focused eyes "swished" and stuck to her tightly. Only Caius leaned back and leaned on the chair. On his back, his slender and well-proportioned body was stretched out on this small chair. He turned his head slightly, and looked at her with dark brown eyes with a wine-like color.
Probably he himself didn't know that when his seriousness faded a bit, just one glance gave him a distinctive aura, which made Yangou Qiaoya swallow her saliva involuntarily, and then immediately concealed it lightly. He coughed twice, looked away, and raised his voice a little.
"Ares has lived for more than 2000 years, and has witnessed the change of regimes one after another, and the prosperity and decline of each country. He is no longer constrained by camps or factions. He is like a bystander of the historical changes in the world. The longer he lives, the more I don't know what it means to live, and I can't even find a reason to live for myself."
"Yesterday I mentioned that he cannot stay in one place for more than ten years because his appearance will not change in any way, he moved to Rome ten years ago, and at the end of this extremely ordinary ten years , he is going to sell his real estate in this city and live in Florence. The one who wants to buy the real estate is a newlywed couple who moved from Genoa. The husband is a businessman who travels between Genoa and Rome all the year round. He is a pious The Catholics, yearning for the Vatican very much, made the decision to move to Rome with their newly married wife. After Ares opened the door to welcome them, he found that the black-haired girl standing behind the human youth was 2000 years away from him. The wife who died unexpectedly years ago looks exactly the same."
As soon as Qiao Ya finished speaking, Piero couldn't sit still anymore. He changed his sitting position on his chair, frowned and asked, "What? She's married to someone else?"
As soon as he interrupted, the others also asked eagerly:
"Is she the wife of Ares back then?"
"Doesn't she remember Ares?"
"God, although marriage can't bind a person, but if the woman I have loved for more than 2000 years married someone else, I would still be very sad and desperate."
……
…………
Just as everyone was discussing in a hurry, a cold and somewhat haughty voice suddenly broke in: "Why stick to what happened more than 2000 years ago? That's it?"
Everyone fell silent immediately, while Qiao Ya turned her head and looked at Caius who was sitting beside her.
Caius was still leaning against the back of the chair, with an extremely leisurely posture. His arms were bent and placed on the armrests of the chair. His slender fingers tapped the wooden armrests lightly, as if feeling Qiao Ya's gaze. , turned his face slightly, and looked at her out of the corner of his eye.
At this rally, Caius’ voice was like thunder. As long as he uttered his voice, the others would be in a state of temporary aphasia as if they were stunned by the sudden thunder, with their eyes wide open. looked at him, but said nothing.
Only Piero thought carefully for a while, and then said: "If she is Ares's former wife, then she probably doesn't remember Ares anymore, and the only one she loves now is her husband?"
Caius smiled when he heard this.
As far as Qiao Ya saw him, he always had a face that looked harmless to humans and animals, but he had a pair of extremely hostile eyes. Most of the time, he had an impatient expression on his face, as if he was about to fall from his waist in the next moment. The appearance of pulling out the dagger to face the person's neck.He seldom smiled, and the only few times he raised the corners of his mouth, there was no smile in his eyes, and then he spit out chilling words.
This time, the curvature of the corners of his mouth became more pronounced, and his eyes did not resemble the hostility of the past, but became frenzied like a volcano about to burst out lava.
"So what." Caius said, "I'm never afraid of fighting. Women love the strong. I will prove to her that I am her best choice, the so-called 'husband', Will be a crying dog at my hands."
Everyone: "..."
The corners of Qiao Ya's mouth twitched slightly, she thought for a while, and then said: "Mr. Volturi, love is not determined by a duel."
Caius smiled even brighter, and said more confidently: "Then I will kill her husband, so that she has no other place to go."
Everyone: "..."
Qiao Ya was expressionless, and sighed inwardly. She just felt that such an appearance was on the face of such a ignorant person, and she didn't know what God had reassured her. Perhaps among the people present, except Piero , probably everyone is begging in their hearts that this guy should never fall in love with their sweetheart.
Qiao Ya simply stopped arguing with him, but when everyone was shocked by Caius' speech, she breathed out and said, "Actually, even Ares doesn't know that this newly married woman is Not his former wife, he just felt that his chest, which had not moved for 2000 years, seemed to have a heartbeat again. He found the feeling of 'alive' again."
"He is a corpse that has lived for more than 2000 years. He has no heartbeat, no temperature, and even in many years of living alone, he has lost his emotional ups and downs. He stood at the door of the house where he had lived for ten years, looking at the The strange yet familiar girl, he couldn't help but stepped out of the room, but the moment he came into contact with the summer sun in Rome, the feeling as if his body was being burned made him wake up from the trance Come here. He quickly adjusted his expression, and with a proper smile on his face, he smiled at the young newlyweds and said, 'Is this Mr. and Mrs. Archie? Please come in.'”
This love story that is familiar to future generations does not actually have too many twists and turns. It is nothing more than that the girl finally remembered all the things in her previous life. In the end, she was killed by the girl's husband. The girl wailed and cried bitterly while hugging the earl. After the first ray of sunlight fell from the sky in the morning, the earl's body turned into ashes. However, after regaining his love, he gained another A meaning of eternal life.
"Apollo forgave his mistakes, made him see the sun again, and disappeared happily in the arms of his lover."
After Qiao Ya finished her last sentence, everyone present fell into a deathly silence. She understood very well that the story that she had been chasing for two days turned out to be the pain of a BE, so she stopped talking, straightened her skirt, and was about to sit back. on the chair.
But at this time, she heard a sob that was suppressed with all her strength, because the scene was extremely quiet, and even the sound of the wind was very subtle, which made the sob very clear.
She looked around where the sound came from, only to see Piero's hands clenched into fists on the table, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, as if he was trying to endure something, and his eye sockets were already slightly red , a suspicious water splash gradually overflowed from the corner of his eyes.
After realizing that everyone was looking at him, he didn't hold back any longer. He turned his head to Qiao Ya and complained tearfully, "Miss Qiao Ya, I never thought you would be so cruel at such a young age!"
Joya: "???"
The young man with curly black hair also said in a nasal voice: "Really, you are so cruel."
Joya: "..."
Under the mournful eyes of everyone, Qiao Ya clenched her right hand and pressed it to her lips. She coughed a few times to cover up, and said, "Since everyone is not satisfied with the ending, let's tell a happy story."
Everyone who was immersed in the sad ending turned their eyes on her again.
Her pupils rolled around between the eye sockets, and she felt a little sluggish. Her eyes glanced around between the gazebos, she smiled, and said: "2000 years ago, when Caesar was in charge of Rome, , there is a very beautiful lady, she has been married to several nobles, and has accumulated countless wealth through these marriages. She has a vast rose garden, and she often spends time with her handsome male pets. This play is probably due to the perennial indulgence. When she was very young, she had a few fine lines around her eyes. When she saw the wrinkles on her face in the reflection in the water for the first time, she uttered a terrified cry. scream."
"She is very afraid of aging, and she hopes that youth and beauty will stay on her forever. When she was furious because of a wrinkle and a white hair, she saw a young and beautiful Greek slave girl kneeling on the edge of the bath, so , she had a crazy idea."
"What do you think?" the black curly-haired youth asked.
Qiao Ya was about to say something, but she suddenly turned her head and looked at the darkened sky outside the eaves of the gazebo. After she turned her head, she looked at the crowd with an apologetic expression, and said in a low voice, "It's time for evening prayer. Today's game is over."
Lorenzo was not good at running family banks, and even caused several Medici banks in other cities to close down directly, but his yearning for power was no less than that of other Medici family power holders.
When the carders uprising broke out that shook the whole of Florence more than 100 years ago, the on-duty justice bannerman was Salvestro of the Medici family.
