I didn't know you were such a vampire

After Joya met Marco in Volturi, she wrote a letter to Monteriggioni that night. It is convenient for her to go back to Monteriggioni, and she will stay in Votera for a while to take good care of Marco.

After writing the letter, she fell into deep thought again. In Mako's state at this time, it is absolutely impossible to meet those old friends in the Ricardo Assassin Organization again, and Mako, who has become a vampire, will not grow old, nor will he become a vampire. She will not die, her own life is limited, she can only take care of him for a few decades, and in the rest of his life, he cannot do without the care of the Volturi family.

It wasn't until the candle on the silver candlestick was about to be lit that she sighed and wrote at the end of the letter: "Marco has been suffering from illness since birth and cannot communicate with others freely. Cardo and Martina did not let him become an assassin. Now that the Totti family has been wronged, it is not suitable for him to have too much to do with his past. I just want to follow Martina and Ricardo's wishes and let him He will always be a happy child, and as for the Totti family's assassin legacy, I will carry it."

As soon as the letter was written, the candle that had burned to the bottom was suddenly extinguished. She paused for a moment holding the quill pen, then followed the moonlight outside the window, put the letter paper aside, and put the quill pen in the ink bottle, Then he got up and left the desk, ready to go to bed in the dark, and continued to think about this problem in his sleep.

However, just as she pulled the cup to her chest, she heard a slight sound from the window sill.

The vampires have much sharper insight than her, and they can climb onto the window sill of the castle. Naturally, they are not thieves or killers. She yawned, and when she was about to turn over to sleep, a warm-colored candle suddenly ignited in her vision .

She turned her head and saw that Caius was standing in front of her desk, with his head slightly lowered, and he put a brand new candle on the silver candlestick on her desk. The wet letter paper and the quill hanging from the ink bottle finally landed on Qiao Ya, who was sitting on the bed with her hands clasped by the corner of the quilt.

Qiao Ya has never seen such a righteous guy who broke into a woman's boudoir at night. After being bumped into, not only did he not run away immediately or kneel down to beg for mercy, but looked at her with a bit of awe-inspiring righteousness in his eyes, as if he was saying: I just Just to light a light for you.

Caius: "I'll light a lamp for you."

Joya: "..."

"Don't humans like bright things?" Caius said.

Qiao Ya coughed twice, cleared her throat, and said, "Thank you."

Caius also coughed twice, his eyes suddenly became a little evasive, he couldn't help glancing around the room, and then saw the letter that Joya had hung under the candlestick before.

At this time, Qiao Ya had already sent out an invitation: "Would you like to come and sit?"

Caius immediately turned his head to look at her, and the "ah" with a question mark had already passed his line of sight to Qiao Ya who was sitting on the bed.

"Alec said that this is the only room with a bed in your Volturi Castle." Joya looked at Caius and tilted her head slightly, "Think that Volturi Castle even has several beautifully crafted salt dishes. , but there is only one bed, the bed is the most precious if you want to come, why don't you come and sit?"

Caius felt that although Joya's words could be described as nonsense, it was quite interesting to think about it carefully, so he strode forward, and when he came to Joya's bed, his steps were small. He stretched a little, straightened his back, and sat on the bed.

This unique bed in the Volturi Castle is like the salt dish on the banquet table. Also inlaid with gold and silver, Venus, the god of love dancing around the bedposts, has graceful limbs, and a blue gem ornament is inlaid on the forehead, and on the other side is the Venus flying between the laurel trees with its small wings. Eros, holding a bow of love made of pure gold in his hand.

Joya had thought to herself that the two bedposts were carved with Cupid, and she didn't know how much these vampires in Volturi Castle longed for true love to come.

Joya's eyes circled around the bedposts, and then returned to Caius. Ever since Caius sat by her bedside, he had been as silent as a statue of stone. His back was straight, like It was a soldier who was listening carefully to the orders of the superior general, and his gaze was also forward, not on Qiao Ya.

Qiao Ya looked at his profile and said, "I have a question that I've always wanted to ask you."

Caius: "Say."

"Did you sneak into my bed the night I first arrived at Volturi Castle?" Qiao Ya asked.

Caius turned his head a little stiffly. Just as his red eyes touched Qiao Ya's line of sight, they quickly moved away as if he had been electrocuted. Seeing his reaction, Qiao Ya knew that her deduction was true. Yes, the law enforcement elder of the Volturi family crawled into the human girl's bed in the middle of the night, it is incredible to think about it.

As one of the parties involved in this incident, Qiao Ya narrowed her eyes slightly, moved closer to him, and said, "Elder Law Enforcement, I didn't expect it to be a vampire like you."

Caius clenched his fists with the two hands that were naturally hanging by his side. If he was an ordinary person, he would probably be frightened by his eyes that seemed to be the prelude to the prelude to a beast eating people. However, he has already understood Under the bad-tempered appearance of this ancient Roman slave owner, there is an older and arrogant young man who has been single for nearly 2000 years. The real Qiaoya is completely immune to his aggressive behavior. She simply clutched her stomach and leaned on the bed. He nodded, laughed, and said while laughing, "Is there a law in the vampire world that will be punished for breaking into the boudoir at night?"

If the vampire still had the normal reaction of a human, then Caius should have a fierce expression and flushed at this moment, but the blood in the vampire's body can't flow and circulate like a normal person, so Caius just had a pale face, Looking at Qiao Ya fiercely: "Don't say it!"

Volturi Castle is full of vampires, but they are all seeing and hearing.

Qiao Ya laughed for a long time, and finally stopped under Caius' increasingly ferocious eyes. While rubbing the physiological tears in the corners of her eyes, she rubbed her belly, and then whispered, "Actually, you don't need to sneak up to I came from under the quilt."

Caius frowned.

Qiao Ya's hand that was originally covered in the cup quietly stretched out the cup, and gently pulled the cuff of his shirt. She didn't know if those vampires who didn't need to sleep would hear it, so she lowered her voice again. Some said, "You don't need to be secretive, you can just come here aboveboard." She saw that Caius's eyes were a little dazed, so she smiled even more happily, "My windows are open every day, waiting for you to come."

After she finished speaking, the room fell into silence for a while, the candlelight on the desk danced, and two figures that almost touched each other were projected on the relief of Eros holding a golden bow on the bedpost .

After a long time, Caius said sullenly, "You don't need to open the window."

Qiao Ya blinked, a little puzzled.

"Even if you lock the window, I can come in." Caius raised one corner of his lips.

Qiao Ya: "...you are amazing."

"Besides, there is one more thing you don't know." Caius's eyes, which were always full of hostility and murderous intent, were filled with the pride of a child's successful prank at this moment, "I climbed to the You've been under the quilt."

Qiao Ya was really puzzled this time, she tilted her head: "Huh?"

"Last year, winter." Caius said, "I went to the Vatican to watch you secretly, and saw that everyone in the courtyard where you lived was busy. I listened to their conversation, and it seemed that the next day was your birthday, so I stayed that day and saw you fell asleep before midnight, and I was by your bed and told you happy birthday."

After he finished speaking, he raised his chin again: "I'm actually the first person to say happy birthday to you."

Qiao Ya opened her eyes slightly. She knew that the Volturi family had known her true identity for a long time, and they must have sent guards who were good at concealment and investigation to the Vatican to monitor her, but she did not expect that there would be one of them. There is Caius.

On her birthday last winter, she officially had a showdown with her father, Rodrigo Borgia, who was the new Pope, at the Pope's Palace. This time, he showed him the fangs and claws that he had hidden for many years.Rodrigo was furious and sent her back to the Orsini Palace, making her stop and think about it, and sent more people just to watch her.

Thinking about it carefully, that day, she was indeed woken up from the cold.

It's just that the meaning of that day to her was far more than just her 15th birthday in this life, so that she didn't take the birthday matter to heart at all.

It turned out... There was a guy who squatted beside her bed, watching the time, and wished happy birthday to her who was asleep.

Caius seemed to be very satisfied with Qiao Ya's shocked expression, and the smile on his mouth became more and more obvious. When he was about to say something more, Qiao Ya suddenly stood up on the bed with a serious expression, took a step forward, and sat on his knees. In front of Caius, he opened his arms and embraced Caius' head in his arms.

Vampires don't breathe and have no temperature. Qiao Ya felt as if she was hugging the stone lions at the door of every bank. When protesting, she smiled and said, "Thank you."

The vampire in his arms seemed to calm down a bit.

"This year, next year...no, and many, many years to come, you must be the first person to say happy birthday to me." Qiao Ya said, "Please make a solemn promise to me, this soldier, is it okay?"

After a while, she heard a muffled voice coming from her chest: "Are you the one who forced the soldier to make a promise like this?" After a pause, "You still don't let me go?"

She laughed a few times, and then said pretendingly: "You are the law enforcement elder of Volturi, it is easy to break free from my grip, why do you beg me to let you go?"

"Joya, I'll kill you! I didn't beg you!"

"Okay, okay, I take it back." She lowered her head and leaned close to Caius' ear, "I want you to tell me in a low voice, so that other vampires can't hear you. Your promise to me can only be made I hear."

Caius paused for a long time, until Joya felt drowsy, and she heard the muffled voice say: "I will count the time every year to say happy birthday to you."

Qiao Ya: "... gone?"

"Won't you make me swear to this?"

Qiao Ya let go of Caius and stared at him: "Won't you use some more sentimental modifiers to enrich your love words?"

Caius' expression became fierce: "Whoever said I was talking about love, this is a soldier's solemn promise."

Joya: "..."

Well, I won't force you.
