I didn't know you were such a vampire

Probably because the Volturi Castle, where vampires lived, had no human guests for many years. The restaurant in the castle was arranged in a grand manner, and a bottle of delicately opened bottle was placed every five inches in the middle of the long dining table. Roses with dewdrops, gold and silver candlesticks carefully polished, can reflect clear human faces, even the candlelight is not as bright as them.

There is a salt plate with a unique shape near the main seat. On the salt plate is a young man carved in gold, wearing an ancient Greek-style Himasin robe and holding a lyre in his hand. It should be a young man in ancient Greek mythology. Dionysus, the god of wine, and the waves under his feet are inlaid with enamel and precious stones.

Salt has been an extremely scarce resource since the Middle Ages, and the control of salt has also triggered wars in different periods, so since then, the nobles always put a salt cellar full of salt in the central area of ​​the banquet. Generally made of gold or silver, inlaid with pearls, gemstones and enamel to show their wealth and power.

However, in recent years, the salt cellar has also been replaced by a salt plate. However, this small utensil has higher requirements for craftsmanship and wealth, and almost every piece is an extremely exquisite work of art.

Judging from this salt plate of the Volturi family, the family is quite rich.

In addition to the flowers and candlesticks for decoration, tableware of different specifications is placed in front of everyone on the table, and the tableware is made of glass in Venice. In this era when most commoner families still shared a pottery bowl, a A set of glass tableware made in Venice is enough to become a symbol of wealth.

However, it was precisely because of these transparent glass tableware that Qiaoya could see the brightly colored blood in those goblets clearly.

Qiao Ya was taken by Alec to a position very close to the main seat. There was a plate in front of her, which was full of pasta. The goblet on one side of the plate was not the same as the other Human-like blood, filled with dark red wine, and ice cubes were carefully placed on it.

After Joya took her seat, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She picked up the utensils on the plate, and was thinking about what the vampire's pasta would taste like, when she heard Ah Luo who had already taken a seat in the main seat. He smiled and said, "Why, our Caius is not very happy."

When Qiaoya heard him mention Caius, she raised her head and looked across. Caius had just taken his seat. Unlike the black robes worn by the other two Voltu Lee rulers, he was still only wearing the thin ivory white shirt. , with blond hair a little disheveled behind his ears, he looked like an aristocratic young man who was on vacation in a country house.

He seemed to realize that Qiao Ya was looking at him. He was about to turn his head towards Qiao Ya, but he froze again and stopped, leaving a delicate and perfect profile in Qiao Ya's field of vision.

Since Joya had asked him again about his brother Marco, he had been quiet again, as when Joya had just climbed up his window and seen him sitting alone on a chair in that empty room.

"It must be a child quarreling again." Ah Luo laughed, then turned to look at Marcus who was sitting on the other side of him, "Marcus, do you remember when we first met Ah Luo?"

Marcus didn't return his gaze, just nodded.

Fortunately, Ah Luo didn't care about the perfunctory attitude of the two younger brothers towards him, but cast his eyes on Qiao Ya, and said with a smile: "The youngest soldier under Alcibiades is proud and brave, but has a bad temper , often fights with his peers, and every time he kills him, he is the youngest, but he wins the most times. If he finds out that someone lets him because of his young age, then he can get angry and not finish it , and then ran into other people’s military tents, dragged them out, and shouted that they should compete again.”

Qiao Ya shifted her gaze to Caius' face, just in time to see Caius turn his head and give Aro a hard look.

The eyes of the two people met for a moment. At that time, the cruelty in Caius' eyes hadn't completely subsided, but he changed immediately after touching Qiao Ya's eyes. He was a little flustered, and could only feel hurried Hastily turned his head to the other side.

Qiao Ya rested her chin in one hand and held the cutlery in the other. She poked the spaghetti on the plate one after another, thinking that Caius had been an iron-blooded soldier for a long time, and he would not even lie. Things that I don't want to say can only be avoided with such childish means.

"...Where is Miss Qiaoya?"

Qiao Ya was brought back to her senses by A Luo's several calls. She looked at A Luo with blank eyes, and then heard Alec who was sitting next to her whisper in her ear: "A Luo just asked you, you are angry What do you like to do when you're there?"

Although Qiao Ya wondered why Ah Luo would ask herself such a strange question, she still thought about it and replied, "I've never been angry."

Ah Luo blinked, a little shocked: "Miss Joya...hasn't she been angry?"

"No." Joya replied.

In just a few seconds, she quickly went through her two lives in her mind, and found that she did not express her feelings too much, or that she habitually hid herself In spite of being the illegitimate daughter of a cardinal in her life, she is still a girl who can only laugh at everyone.

The only time he vented his emotions was to Ricardo.

At that time, Ricardo said that she would return to the Vatican to get married and have children soon, but she expressed her dissatisfaction through emotions. In the end, Ricardo smiled and said that he would definitely help her.

"This is unexpected." Ah Luo sighed, and then said with a smile, "Then Miss Joya, don't let Caius come, this guy is angry and difficult to coax, you can't get used to it broken."

As soon as he finished speaking, Caius gritted his teeth and turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of killing intent.

And Qiao Ya reached out to pick up the wine glass, gently shook the liquid in the glass, and then said with a smile: "I think Caius is not difficult to coax." She said, looking at Luo again, " Just sing to him."

Arlo: "..."

……

…………

After a moment of silence in the restaurant, everyone began to bury their heads in their food. Qiao Ya glanced around the area from the corner of her eye while sipping the wine in the glass.

In addition to the three creators of the Volturi sitting in the main seat, Dmitri, Jane, and Alec that Joya had seen sitting on both sides of the long table, and two other unfamiliar faces, A man and a woman, with the same pale complexion and blood-red eyes, and Aro also introduced Chelsea and Heidi to Qiaoya before the dinner. In addition, there is another member of the Volturi family named Felix, who is currently I was caught up in other things and couldn't come to the dinner.

Qiao Ya nodded, thinking that the names of these people are not Italian names, they should be from other countries, and they don't know why they came to Italy.

After the dinner started, Joya also discovered the absolute hierarchical order of the Volturi family. This family did not hold evening prayers before the meal, presumably they did not believe in Catholicism, and before the three founders announced the start of the dinner, other People will never eat, even during the meal time when the atmosphere is relatively active, except for Alec who just reminded Joya, the others didn't even say a word.

And in such an old castle restaurant, which was completely opposite to the atmosphere of the Totti family's dining room, Joya did not find the "children serving the Totti family" mentioned by Aro.

And when she was looking around, Ah Luo said again: "Is Miss Joya looking for something?"

Qiao Ya immediately looked away and looked at the chief seat, Ah Luo's upper body leaned slightly towards her, with a smile on his face.After Aro spoke, the Volturi guards would never make a sound, so almost everyone's eyes turned to Joya, as if they were waiting for her answer.

Joya couldn't help but compare Aro with Rodrigo, who had only become Pope the year before. The same kind of smile, the same soft language, and of course, the same thing that made Joya feel terrible.

It seems that Ah Ro is very suitable to be the Pope.

She was thinking about this, and just about to speak, she heard Caius say coldly: "I want to ask Luo, since you know that I brought those people over from Florence, you also use them as a threat to make Qiao Ya I went to this dinner, so what about them?"

Qiao Ya was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Caius to speak so bluntly.

The others seemed to have long been used to Caius's direct way of speaking, and there was not much surprise on their faces. Aro still smiled and said, "Look, my brother thinks I'm a bad guy again." He paused After a pause, he said again, "Miss Joya should know the rules of the vampire world. If someone knows about the existence of vampires, then this person must either become the same kind or die."

Qiao Ya frowned slightly.

"Miss Joya, don't worry, those children are still alive." Luo smiled, "Caius also placed them in the city of Voltera, and carefully kept them from knowing the truth about the Volturi family. But... there are always too many surprises in the world."

Qiao Ya saw that even Caius looked at A Luo in surprise, she suddenly had an ominous premonition, and fixed her eyes on A Luo.

"They know," Arrow said, "because of a little accident."

"Vampires are not very stable when they are newborns, so I asked Felix to keep an eye on them, so that they won't be able to hold back their restlessness when they smell the blood of living people." Aro said, turning his eyes away from Joya, Put it on Caius, at this moment, Qiao Ya noticed that the smile on his face gradually turned cold, "So, brother, you have to explain to me, why did you let that bloodthirsty devil boy go?"
