I didn't know you were such a vampire

The people who gathered in the Lord's Square in the afternoon dispersed after the night fell. With the crowds during the day as a contrast, the Lord's Square in the middle of the night seemed extremely deserted, with only a few dim candles on the square. , and the sporadic windows of the Lord's Palace that were still lit.

The whole of Florence fell asleep in mourning. No one noticed a figure dressed as a young man who was slightly petite compared to a man. He moved neatly across the layers of buildings on both sides of the Arno River, and then stood in the Palace of the Lords. On the roof of the adjacent loggia.

The loggia is composed of wide arches open to the street, and three round arches are supported on the Corinthian cluster columns, with a strong late Gothic style.

Piero once proudly introduced this loggia. About a hundred years ago, two architects built this loggia to hold public ceremonies such as the swearing-in of the chief executive. The square in front of the loggia is the place for gatherings. crowd.And this rather lively building is next to the plain Lord's Palace in the southeast corner of the square.

It was also in the afternoon of this day that Joya could clearly see the whole picture of the Lord's Palace. This is a rather magnificent castle at first glance, with gray and rough brick walls, jagged fortresses, and a castle standing in the center of the city wall. The majestic towers look far from the exquisite Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.However, if you observe carefully, you can find that the exterior wall decoration of the Lord's Palace is extremely luxurious, and there are even exquisite and detailed sculptures on the window sills.

After midnight, the Lord's Palace is like a fortress silently immersed in the night, except for those few lights, there is nothing else.

Qiao Ya squatted in the corner of the roof of the loggia, looking at the Lord's Palace opposite, as if reading a book, observing the windows from left to right, and then in the southernmost corner, she found a window that was not closed tightly .

She immediately grabbed the edge of the roof with her backhand, but her body had already jumped down, and her feet stood firmly in the gap where the Corinthian columns were wounded in the loggia. Jumping off the tuft column, he took advantage of the opportunity to perform a roll on the square floor tiles, buffering the impact of falling from a high place on his legs. After stabilizing his body, he ran straight towards the window.

At this time, she vaguely heard voices, and she approached the inner outer wall of the Lord's Palace, hiding herself in the shadow of the castle.

After a while, two young guards holding torches came out from the outside of the wall where Joya was hiding. The light of the torches immediately shone on the area around Joya's feet, and she leaned in silently.

The two guards walked very slowly, as if they were concentrating all their attention on each other's conversation. When it came to getting up, they couldn't help raising their voices, and then they were reminded by another person that this is Lord's Square, so they should keep quiet .

They spoke the Tuscan dialect, and Joya only heard the general idea. The two young men first talked about Piero, the newly appointed ruler of the Medici. What will it look like under the governance, and then gloated that Piero must not have the means like his father Lorenzo, and he must not be able to rule the parliament.

As for Lorenzo who had just passed away, one of the small guards lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the lord may not have died of a disease."

Qiao Ya's eyes widened, and the other tall guard's exclamation was halfway out, and was quickly suppressed by his companions. After he spent a few seconds digesting the news, he couldn't wait to ask: " That's it?" He paused, then asked in a low voice, "Assassination?"

When he said this, he happened to pass by Qiao Ya. Qiao Ya held her breath, fearing that the two guards would notice something, but the topics discussed by the two young men made her feel that she was about to lose control own breath.

Lorenzo de' Medici didn't die of disease, but assassination?

"You know, my father is the family doctor of the Medici family." The little guard said, "Two days ago he was still saying that the lord's condition has improved a lot, and it seems that he will be able to get up from the hospital bed soon. , to wipe the ass of my son's messy government affairs, and it's only been two days..."

"It must be an assassination," the tall man said firmly. Just as he was about to say something more, he suddenly let out a scream of "Ouch", then stopped, and the short man scolded: "I told you to keep quiet, are you Do you think the sleeping Medici will hear what we have to say?"

The tall man cursed and said, "I don't know who dropped a nail on the ground, and I stepped on it." As he spoke, he lowered himself with a torch, and the light of the torch instantly stuck Qiao Ya's shoe on the wall. It was shrouded in it, and when he was building the nails on the ground, he also caught a glimpse of the boy's black boots at the bottom of the wall.

"Huh?" He stopped his gaze and stared at the pair of boots, and the short man standing behind him also followed his gaze to look in the direction where Qiao Ya was standing. Joya took a step closer.

It was probably the middle-aged Ezio and Ricardo who told her that when they were young, they walked the streets of Florence with the guards, so that she didn't feel scared after being discovered by the guards, but instead A little more eager to try.

Just before the two guards approached her, she suddenly ran sideways, stepped on the brick wall of the Lord's Palace, jumped up with the reaction force, and climbed onto a window sill on the second floor.

Before they could react, she heard a slight rubbing sound from the window behind her. Just as she was about to turn her head to look over, an arm stretched out from the window and grabbed her. She was caught off guard and pulled After entering the window, she fell into a cold and hard embrace.

After she was pulled into the room, the window was closed in an instant, and the two guards who were left outside the Lord's Palace were stunned, and then began to shout loudly in Tuscan dialect, that the Lord's Palace had entered the Lord's Palace.

It's just that whether it's the call or the firelight, after a window is separated, it doesn't seem very real.

Qiao Ya's back was against that marble-like body. She was only wearing the slightly thin shirt. The coldness covered her skin through a thin layer of linen cloth, and penetrated into her skin layer by layer. , making her shiver involuntarily.

After the other party noticed that her body was trembling slightly, she let go of her and took a step back. She folded her arms and turned around. Through the firelight outside the window, she saw Caius' slender and graceful figure. shape.

He was only wearing a white Schumitz shirt, the neckline was half-opened, revealing his sharp Adam's apple and collarbone. His blond hair was still neatly combed behind his ears, without a trace of the sleepy feeling of just waking up from the bed.

Although the purpose of Qiao Ya's trip was him, but when he suddenly appeared in front of her unexpectedly, she didn't know what to say, and just stared at him blankly until a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Smiling, he said, "Why, suddenly I can't think about it, and want to come to the Lord's Palace to steal something?"

Joya turned her head away from him and said, "Vorturi have climbed through my windows."

"Is there anything you would like me to steal?" Caius said.

Qiao Ya was at a loss for words for a moment, and it seemed that there were only piles of books on the table in her room.

"Then..." Qiao Ya asked, "Why did you climb to my window?"

The other party didn't answer, and it seemed that he didn't organize his words for a while.

After the initial tension passed, Qiao Ya relaxed. She looked around the room through the firelight outside the window. From the limited light, she had a difficult glimpse of the luxurious display and decoration in the room, as well as the neat and tidy four-poster bed. The sheets didn't have the slightest wrinkle.

This place looks like a cold and luxurious showroom, not like a house where people live.

Her observing eyes finally stayed on Caius's hand hanging by his side, and after looking at it for a long time, she said, "Actually, I came to thank you." She paused, "Thank you for saving me yesterday. "

Caius said in a cold tone, "I didn't save you, you misidentified the person."

"Then treat me as the wrong person." Qiao Ya didn't argue with him, she smiled, walked to the window, leaned against the wall near the window, faced Caius, and said, "I don't want to give I left regrets, so thank you, I will still say it.”

"Sorry?" Caius frowned.

"Yes." Qiao Ya nodded, "I'm about to leave Florence, and I don't know when I'll come back—maybe I won't be able to come to this city again in my whole life."

Caius listened to her words, his brows were almost twisted into a knot. Just when he was about to speak, there were several knocks on the door, and then a stammering voice asked: "Wo Mr. Volturi, I'm sorry to interrupt your rest. Yes, some guards said that a thief sneaked into the Lord's Palace. Please, please..."

"Didn't see it!" Caius cut off his words without warning, "Go away!"

Caius yelled angrily, but the man happily said, "Okay! I'll leave now! Good night, Mr. Volturi!"

After the servant's footsteps disappeared, the room was silent again, but Qiao Ya could clearly see that Caius's face was covered with such a deep hostility again, and his eyes turned blood red, And probably because he was caught in a violent self-emotion, he didn't pay attention to Qiao Ya, so Qiao Ya's eyes slid from his face all the way to his chest.

There, there is no ups and downs.

She withdrew her gaze, straightened her expression, and said, "Actually, I didn't expect you to be the first person I met when I came to the Lord's Palace. The Lord's Palace is so big, who knows which room you live in?" , and I haven't seen you for so long, I'm not even sure if you're still in Florence, but I think that before I leave, I should come to say goodbye to you."

——Because I know that before you leave, you will definitely say goodbye to me.

"I..." Joya paused and looked at Caius, "I want to hear the end of that story."
