I didn't know you were such a vampire

The vampire Caius knew that Joya was the illegitimate daughter of the new Pope Alexander VI. In the era when noble ladies were sent to the monastery to study etiquette, literature, language and ecclesiology when they were very young, she was pampered since childhood. Received the best court education in the Orsini Palace in the Vatican. In addition to the compulsory courses for ordinary noble women, he also learned art and poetry that ordinary people regard as impetuous and useless.

It's just that she is different from her brothers and sisters who have a strong desire to show off. She seldom shows off. She always stays in the room and reads one after another. Apart from the "Bible" and other church books, she also secretly I read the rape that was regarded as nonsense by the Holy See, and the lengthy "History of the Peloponnesian War".

The Peloponnesian War, that was his end, was also his beginning.

He lowered his head and looked at the face of Qiao Ya who was so close to him. The noble lady who had been pampered in the Vatican desperately escaped from that prosperous cage, and jumped into the turbulent Tiber in an extremely dangerous way. He then cut her hair short, tanned her skin, and her gray-blue eyes that used to be watery were filled with a bit of determination. At first glance, she looked like a handsome boy, probably the father of the Pope who raised her. It is not necessarily possible to recognize her at a glance.

But he can.

This is actually completely different from how he imagined her a year ago.

If time hadn't changed everything, she should still have her long hair fluttering, her steps light, and she would hold up her skirt and perform the most standard curtsy every time she saw someone.He can see the traces of her growth through various methods, thinking that when the petals are the most beautiful, he will give her her first embrace, so that she will stay at this moment forever, and stay by his side forever.

But unfortunately, she was not willing to be the flower on that branch.

This made him think of himself in a mess, holding a sword and stepping into the Temple of Apollo on that night of lightning, thunder and storm.

"I'll let you go this time, don't come to Voltra again, I can't let you live a second time." Caius reached out and touched her hair lightly. The color of the sun, his is darker, like a cloud dyed red by the setting sun, while hers is lighter, like the hottest light at noon, and when he touches these hairs, he feels his fingertips A searing pain, just like what the monks said, the devil in the night will finally disappear in the sunlight.

Qiao Ya didn't see the subtle movements of his fingers, she looked straight into Caius' eyes, this time she didn't see any sullenness and impatience in these red eyes, he seemed like an ordinary A human teenager, calm and ordinary.

"So you admitted that you were the one who saved me from the vampire and promised me that I would not die?" Qiao Ya said.

Caius' fingers trembled slightly, as if the strands of hair entwined between him had turned into flames. He lowered his head again, but just bumped into Qiao Ya's smiling gray-blue eyes.

"It was you who saved me, and you said in my ears that you would never let me die." Joya's voice carried a bit of aggression in his ears, "Aren't human beings food for vampires? Why do you Save me, Caius, do you like me?"

Caius' red pupils suddenly constricted.

"You..." He had just started, but Qiao Ya had already smiled and said, "'I'll kill you, Qiao Ya'!"

He gritted his teeth and stared. If he was still an ordinary human teenager, then at this moment, his face would be blushing. However, the vampire has lost such a physical reaction, only a face that is pale and bloodless Such an expression may look a bit hideous to others, but it looks a little cute to Qiao Ya.

He reached out, looking as if he wanted to grab her, Joya.

Probably because of the sudden agitation in his mind, he slowed down his movements a bit, but Qiao Ya had already swiftly jumped to the wall by the window, holding her hands behind her, staring at the exquisite murals on the wall, and said as she walked: "Come on, let's see what is painted on the walls of this room: There is a loud bang in the sky, a boy is born in a family that has been in the army for generations, his father and elder brother died early, he is a grandmother and mother I was brought up, and I love to fight fiercely since I was a child..." She pointed to the blond boy on the mural who was fighting with children of the same age, and smiled, "I can't see that you were so thin when you were young, Caius."

Caius stood in the center of the room, his gaze followed her, watching her staring at the murals and talking.

"Then, this boy joined the army, lost the battle, wandered along the coast with the commander, became a mercenary, and took money to kill people every day. Before he was 20 years old, he was already a murderer without blinking an eye. It's time." Qiao Ya looked at the blond boy in the painting who was squatting by the river to wash off the blood on his weapon, then turned to look at Caius, and sighed, "Alcibiades really spoiled the child. "

She jumped in front of another wall and said, "Later, he chose to return to his hometown for the sake of his mother, only to find that his mother had passed away and was discarded for a ridiculous crime of blasphemy. In the wilderness outside the city, he raised his weapon angrily, and rushed to the temple of Apollo in the city overnight..."

On the screen, the blond boy in the Athenian armor looks indifferently at the head of the god statue hanging from a height.

"Cut off the head of the Sun God." Qiao Ya said, turning her head and looking at him. He stood in this dimly lit room, like a white jade statue, exuding this hazy white of light.

"My name is Qiao Ya, and you." Qiao Ya looked at him and said.

"Theodoros." Caius said, and the corners of his lips curled up again, "I haven't used this name for more than 1000 years, and it's still a little strange to say it."

"Theodoros, a gift from the gods?" Joya asked.

"Yes." Caius slowly stepped forward and came to Joya's side. He raised his head and looked at himself on the mural, "My name is the biggest joke in my life, probably Apollo would also find it ridiculous. After I came to Rome, I changed my name. It’s already blasphemy anyway, so I don’t care about abandoning my name.”

"So you are nearly two thousand years old?" Qiao Ya said.

"I haven't calculated it carefully, but a few months ago that guy Alona suddenly told me to wish me a happy sixth birthday in 910, so it's probably like this." When Caius mentioned Arrow, his eyes were full of tears. A little impatient.

Qiao Ya couldn't help laughing when Caius said her age and said a long list of numbers. After laughing, she felt that she was so amazing. Prince Charming kissed and woke up Snow White who ate the poisoned apple. Another prince kissed and awakened the Sleeping Beauty who had been stabbed by a spindle for 100 years, and another prince rescued Rapunzel who was trapped in a high tower, and she climbed up the window of a vampire who had lived for 910 and [-] years.

She stood on tiptoe, reached out and patted Caius on the shoulder: "It's okay, don't be angry, I don't dislike you for being old."

When Caius came to her senses, she turned her head to look at the wall on the other side, and found that there were a few more touches of color on the wall: "Huh? Are there any new paintings? Let me see... "

It's just that before the person walked over, the faster vampire had already taken her by the hand and brought her to the window, where the free sunlight in front of the window sill gently brushed his cheeks, bringing out a liquid like flowing gold. Generally bright.

Qiao Ya blinked her eyes and wanted to turn her head to look at the wall again, but Caius turned her head back forcefully with cold hands: "Don't look!"

"Why..." Qiao Ya was a little surprised.

"There is no reason!" Caius had that irritable look again, "Look, I'll kill you!"

Just as Qiao Ya was about to refute, a series of extremely slow footsteps came from her ears. She was stunned for a moment, and then looked towards the door. The footsteps stopped at the door, followed by three knocks with just enough force. door noise.

Caius frowned, and said in a low voice, "Jane, I told you, don't bother me, do you want to die?"

After a moment of silence outside the door, Qiao Ya heard a muffled teenager's voice: "It's me, Alec."

Before Caius could frowned, the young Alec outside the door said again: "Ah Luo asked me to come, he said he heard that Miss Qiao Ya was coming, he prepared a sumptuous dinner, and introduced us to each other , so, let me come to you..."

As soon as Alec finished speaking, Caius said impatiently, "Let him go."

Just when Qiao Ya was thinking about whether the relationship between Caius and Ah Luo was really bad, she heard another elegant voice with a smile outside the door: "It seems that my brother really doesn't want to see me .”

Caius sneered: "Why, the vampire wants to entertain a human being? So is the blood of a woman or a man on the table?"

Ah Luo outside the door didn't care about the sarcasm in Caius's words, and replied with a smile: "I have already asked those children who served in the Totti family, and one child said that Miss Joya likes macaroni... ..."

Before Ah Luo finished speaking, Qiao Ya rushed forward and opened the door of the room.

The light from the wall lamp in the corridor suddenly leaked into the dark room, together with the elongated shadows of the two vampires outside the door.

Standing in the front is a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same height as Joya, with brown hair, and exquisite facial features that are very similar to the girl Jane that Joya met before, and the other members of the Volturi family Similarly, he was also pale and had blood red eyes.

Ah Luo stood behind the young man, with a tall and straight figure, wearing an ankle-length black robe, with a strangely shaped pendant on his chest that Joya had seen on Jane and Dmitry, although he had an extremely handsome face There was a just right smile on his face, but Qiao Ya could still see a bit of danger from his smile.

And the moment he saw Qiao Ya open the door, the smile on his face deepened. He glanced behind Qiao Ya at Caius who was standing by the window and was wearing only a thin ivory white shirt. Moving to Qiao Ya, she smiled and said, "So, Miss Qiao Ya will be very satisfied with today's dinner."
