I didn't know you were such a vampire

Joya didn't care if she had dinner with a group of vampires in a centuries-old castle, her mind was full of those "children who served in the Totti family" in Aro's mouth, and she exhaled She took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the turbulent waves in her heart. When she was about to speak, she only heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind, and the sound was getting closer. Then, she felt a chill coming from her back.

Caius put his arms around her shoulders, pulled her behind him, faced Ah Luo directly, and glared fiercely at Alec who was standing beside Ah Luo.

Qiao Ya saw Alec trembling, and the boy shrank away from the door, and when she realized that Qiao Ya was looking at him, she made a mischievous face at Qiao Ya.

Joya: "..."

It seems that his fear is feigned, don't worry.

Ah Luo was not angry because of Caius' actions. He still smiled gently and said, "Don't blame Alec, it's my brother. You haven't interacted with humans for too many years. I don't know how many people are hiding under the castle." I can't hide it at all." He said, with a touch of reproach in his voice, "Brother, since I said that I invited Miss Qiaoya to have dinner in the castle, there is no malice."

"I don't believe it," Caius said bluntly. "Don't think I don't know what's going on in your head."

The smile on Ah Luo's face remained undiminished. When he saw Qiao Ya poking her head out from behind Caius to look at her, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Caius is almost two thousand years old. Like a child of seventeen or eighteen."

"Ah Luo!" Caius snorted in a low voice, but it sounded like a growl to Joya.

It’s just that Caius, who seemed terrifying to others, was probably still a willful and irritable child in Ah Luo’s eyes. He smiled kindly and said, “Don’t you tell Ms. Joya that you are imprisoned? The human child in the Lord's Palace in Florence was brought back to the city of Voltera safe and sound, causing Ms. Joya to look around, I see you, I just want to see how Ms. Joya is anxious." He paused, pretending to be surprised Said, "Or, you don't want Miss Joya to know that you have done so much for her?"

Caius gritted his teeth and roared, "Aro, I'll kill you!"

A Luo laughed, and then looked at Qiao Ya: "I specially invited those children to the castle, I think Miss Qiao Ya must really want to catch up with them?"

Qiao Ya looked up at the black-faced Caius, then at Ah Luo who was standing opposite with a gentle smile, and said, "I'll go."

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately reached out and tugged the back of the ivory white shirt on Caius, and then patted his back.

Cold and hard, the touch is similar to the Corinthian columns of the Orsini Palace.

However, this action successfully prevented the bad-tempered ancient Roman slave owner Caius from making another murder declaration. He seemed to have punched the cotton with all his strength, staring, gritting his teeth, and said no. After saying a word, he had to turn his head and look fiercely at Qiao Ya who was standing behind him.

Qiao Ya opened her eyes wide and smiled at him.

The expressions of the two were stalemate for a long time before Caius let go and said angrily, "Let's go, I'll go with you." He then gave Ah Luo another look and said to Qiao Ya, "The dinner is the dinner. , don't shake hands with that guy."

Joya looked at Ah Luo inexplicably, and Ah Luo was still smiling, but one eyebrow was raised slightly.

The interior of Volturi Castle is as old and gloomy as the exterior of the castle. The corridors are covered with carpets of the same color as the curtains in Caius’ room, which are reflected by the wall lamps in the corridors and the dancing candles on the chandeliers in the hall. There was a bit of chilling gloom.

In addition to the ornate wall lamps, there are solemnly framed paintings hanging on the walls. These paintings vary in size and even in different styles, from yellowed ancient Egyptian murals to dull and rigid altarpieces in the Middle Ages. Then to the brightly colored style that has been popular in Florence in recent years, it is like a history book, which has been turned from beginning to end.

Qiao Ya read the paintings one by one by candlelight. No matter how the style and theme of the painting changed, there would always be three men in each painting. The toga, and now a black robe, the appearance has not changed at all.

Among the three, one has blond hair and looks arrogant and ruthless. Caius is the youngest, with shoulder-length black hair and always smiling just right. Aro, while the other has black hair. He has curly hair, deep and handsome features, and although he also has a pair of red eyes, but unlike Caius' sternness and Aro's smile, there is nothing in his eyes.

"That's Marcus." When Joya was observing the strange man in the painting, Caius, who was walking behind her, said something. She turned her head and bumped into Caius' eyes, and Caius Si was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head unnaturally.

Joya raised her mouth slightly, and was about to continue asking Caius about the servants of the Totti family, when Aro, who was walking in front of them, smiled and said, "That's my other younger brother, Caius another brother."

Judging from these paintings, the Volturi family should have been established by these three people.

Qiao Ya nodded, thinking that Ah Luo couldn't see her nodding, and said, "How...how did you know each other?"

Ah Luo laughed and said, "That's a very long story. If Ms. Joya is interested, you can listen to the story of Volturi at the dinner later." He paused and turned slightly Turning his head, he glanced at Caius who was walking behind Joya, "I heard that Caius participated in the story meeting of the heir of the Medici family when he went to Florence a year ago, and he should be better at telling stories than before. Then let him explain Miss Qiao Ya's doubts."

Qiao Ya followed his gaze and looked at Caius. Caius' expression was a little stiff, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed. She moved her gaze down again and saw Caius' hands clenched into fists.

It seems that the relationship between Caius and Arrow is really not good.

Thinking about it, Qiao Ya glanced at a new painting in the corridor. As soon as her eyes shifted to the painting, she saw a figure in armor from behind. She thought it was Caius, but she saw A black braid hangs down the back of the man.

woman?

She looked up slightly, and saw a brown hawk standing on the woman's raised right arm.

She squinted her eyes slightly, and just when she was about to see the other content on the frame clearly, she heard A Luo walking in front of her say with a smile: "It's a surprise that Marcus is willing to come out of his room, Maybe it's the good luck brought by Miss Joya."

Qiao Ya was taken aback, turned her head slightly, and looked forward, only to realize that they had reached the end of the corridor and arrived at the main hall of the castle.

Although the entire Volturi Castle was old and gloomy, and the scarlet carpet in the corridor and the slightly narrow space gave people an extremely depressing feeling, but the main hall was unusually open and bright.There are several skylights above the arched dome, and the setting sun pours in from the skylights, intersecting and converging on the main hall. In the center of the dome, there is a huge crystal chandelier and dozens of retro-shaped brass chandeliers. White candles were lit on a crystal candlestick, and the candlelight was refracted through quartz and crystal, illuminating the huge main hall like daytime.

On the front wall of the hall, there is a platform about five inches above the ground. On the platform are three huge stone chairs, and the backs of the chairs are carved with patterns on the chest ornaments of the Volturi people.And on one of the stone chairs, a person was already sitting.

He has black curly hair, which is not as meticulously groomed as Caius and Aro, but hangs a little casually on his shoulders. He is dressed in a black robe, but there is no sense of oppression. When sitting on the stone chair , as if it has been integrated into the air, people can't feel any existence.

Hearing Ah Luo's words, he turned his head, his red eyes glanced at the group of people standing at the entrance of the corridor, and then slowly said: "I heard that there are guests today."

His voice is very soft, but not as soft as Alona's. This voice is more soft, and it can be seen that he should be a vampire with a milder personality than his other two brothers.

At this time, Aro had already strode forward, and said with a loud smile: "Yes, there are new guests in Volturi Castle." He paused, and then said, "It was brought back by Caius .”

Qiao Ya heard Caius standing behind her "tsk".

She finally couldn't hold back her curiosity, turned her head, looked at Caius, and asked in a low voice, "Caius, do you have a bad relationship with Aro?"

As soon as she asked, she heard Alec coughing on the other side. She followed the sound, and Alec immediately turned his head and touched his nose, looking at the mural on the wall.

And Caius glared at him, then looked at Qiao Ya, and said a little irritably, "No."

"Oh." Qiao Ya nodded.

"Why do you ask this?" Caius asked.

"It's nothing." Qiao Ya waved her hand, "If you hate him, I'll hate him with you too."

Caius: "..."

After a long time, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Qiao Ya's hair as if venting, and he said, "I didn't tell you that I brought those members of the Totti family back to Wo Tera, it's because I'm mad at you."

While saving her hair from the clutches of the vampire, Qiao Ya asked inexplicably, "Why are you angry with me?"

Caius snorted, did not answer, and then said: "But I have arranged for Alec to send them to the place where the assassins lived in a while, I don't want to see you again, but I think, you You should still want to see them."

"Why don't you want to see me again?" Qiao Ya asked again.

Caius looked at her fiercely: "Shut up! Don't ask!"

Qiao Ya straightened her messy hair, and said sincerely, "Then let me ask one more question, just one."

Caius continued to be fierce: "Then tell me quickly!"

"I..." Qiao Ya paused, "Did you bring my younger brother back to Voltra?"

Caius froze for a moment, then stood up straight in a panic, looked away, and after a while, said: "No."
