I didn't know you were such a vampire

When Joya was tossing and turning the night before, she had already thought about whether her thoughts were too deviant for this era and Lucrecia who grew up in the Borgia family. After all, Adriana always mentioned Mattie who escaped marriage. Na, both the expression on her face and the words she said were full of anger and accusation.

A person who escapes from the divorce is destined to bring shame on the family. This is the education that noble children have received since childhood.

However, such an idea only swirled in Joya's mind, and was immediately rejected by her. She felt that Lucrecia should have freedom and the right to choose that Rodrigo had never given her.

So she left the hotel where she was staying at dawn, tumbling all the way, carefully avoiding the Pope's guards and the attendants in Del Portico's palace, all the way to Lucrecia's room, sneaking in as she did when she was a child. into the curtain of my sister's bed.

"Sorry, I ended up making the same decision as my mother, fleeing the Vatican. In fact, I made a decision when I jumped off the Tiber River. I will not go back to the Vatican and will not be with Porgy There is nothing involved in the sub-family." Qiao Ya said with a smile, "There are many reasons for this, but you are still young, I will not tell you, I just hope that every one of my younger brothers and sisters can spend their lives happily .”

Lucrecia frowned, and stared at Qiao Ya for a long time, a thin layer of mist slowly appeared in those gray-blue eyes similar to Qiao Ya, Qiao Ya was stunned, she did not expect that Lucrecia can cry. Among the younger siblings she brought up, except for Cesare, Lucrecia has the strongest personality and almost never cried.

She felt like a stupid father who saw his daughter crying for the first time. At first, he felt a little bit at a loss. Finally, he sighed, walked forward, hugged the little girl, and said, "I'm sorry."

Lucrecia hurriedly wiped away the tears from her eyes, and said in a nasal voice, "You are not allowed to tell Juan."

Qiao Ya smiled helplessly: "I promise I won't tell him."

Lucrecia felt relieved when she heard her promise. She lowered her head and said after a while, "I don't blame you."

Qiao Ya was taken aback.

"You don't need to feel sorry for me." Lucrecia looked up at her, the little girl's eyes were crooked, with a bright smile, "I am willing to marry Earl Pesaro, since we were very young, We already know our own destiny, this is my obligation and my responsibility, so I will not have any complaints, it is possible..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head again, her voice a little disappointed: "It is possible... Count Pesaro is the Orpheus who rescued me from the underworld..."

Qiao Ya took her hand, squatted down, looked up at her wrinkled face, and said with a smile, "If there is a chance, will Eurydice escape from Hades himself?"

Lucrecia's hands trembled slightly.

"If you want, I will help you." Qiao Ya smiled, "It just hurts the Tiber River, and it will be another bad luck."

The marriage between the Borgia family and the Sforza family was extremely grand.

The wedding was held at the Borgia Residence in the Pope's Palace. This decision was opposed by some more traditional officials of the Holy See and the Holy See princes. They believed that the temple could only allow men to handle the official affairs of the Holy See.

However, as we all know, Pope Alexander VI is very fond of these children of himself and his mistress Vanoza. After the eldest daughter fell into the water in the early spring of this year, he devoted all his love to the only remaining daughter Lucrecia, not only He gave her a dowry of [-] ducats of gold, and firmly suppressed all objections, and decided to hold the wedding in the temple.

The guards of the Holy See were dressed gorgeously and waited in front of the gate of Del Portico Palace early in the morning. The groom, Count Pesaro, the bride's older brother Juan, and Juan's friend, Prince Cem of Turkey, accompanied the team on horseback. Wearing a creamy white satin headscarf and a golden brocade shawl, her whole body is golden, and she is much more high-profile than the bride, the protagonist of the wedding. However, Cesare, who is usually closer to Lucrecia, is not in the team.

Joya was sitting on the roof in the distance, and saw Lucrezia in the red velvet gown, accompanied by Julia and Adriana, holding up her skirt, stepping into the carriage, and followed the queue to the Pope's Palace. advance.She looked around before getting into the carriage, as if she was looking for someone, but she didn't see Qiao Ya in the distance, and after hastily retracting it, she lowered the curtain.

Caius sat with Joya on the roof, because the sun was shining brightly in Rome that day, so he put the hood of the black robe on his head to cover his eyes that would sparkle like diamonds in the sun. skin.

He was not interested in the human Pope marrying his daughter, he just kept staring at Joya, but Joya looked at the bride at the gate of Delportico Palace in the distance all the time, and didn't turn around to respond to his gaze, which made him a little indifferent Unhappy, he snorted, but still did not attract Qiao Ya's attention, and said, "Didn't she leave with you immediately?"

Seeing the bride getting into the car, Qiao Ya turned her head to look at him, shook her head, and said, "She said that it is her responsibility to marry Count Pesaro, and she will fulfill the engagement no matter what, and when the wedding is completed, she will Leave a suicide note, and then sneak out of the Del Portico Palace in the dark, and I will just wait for her by the Tiber River."

"Trouble." Caius said.

"But as a member of the Borgia family who grew up in such an education, it is very brave to make such a decision." Joya said.

"What about you?" Caius asked.

Qiao Ya looked at him: "Me? I'm different."

At this moment, she had an urge to tell Caius the whole truth about herself, but this urge only existed for a moment. Vampires come from the past, but she comes from the future. Not necessarily future compatible.

Those whirling thoughts just flashed for a moment, and no one knew what she was thinking in the blink of an eye. In the end, she just smiled and said, "After all, I dare to fall in love with a vampire, of course it's different."

She has always dared to hit a straight ball, but it was the first time she said the word "love" so bluntly. This word, which was too unfamiliar to Caius, made the vampire who had lived for nearly 2000 years stunned, as if In the lackluster blood that he drank every day, there was a bit of a novel fragrance, which made him feel strange, and a strange feeling of trembling all over his body. He immediately turned his head away, not daring to look at her again.

One person and one vampire sat in this room for a long time, watching the gorgeous and grand queue slowly move forward and leave. The ordinary road in the Vatican returned to silence, and the sun climbed to the highest point, mercilessly scorching the roof The two guys on the sky slowly set to the west, dyeing the sky with strips of golden twilight.

When night fell, Qiao Ya stood up from the roof. She patted the dust off the assassin robe on her body, pulled the hood over her head, and said, "Let's go."

As soon as Caius stood up, he paused. He turned his head suddenly, looked in another direction, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.When Qiao Ya looked at him inexplicably, he also turned to look at her, but at this time his brows were slightly frowned, and there was a bit of murderous intent in his eyes.

Before Qiao Ya asked, he said, "Two old acquaintances showed up."

"Old acquaintance?" Qiao Ya blinked.

"The Romanian group slipped through the cracks," Caius said. "Because I killed their mates, they've been picking on me for years when I'm alone."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qiao Ya took a few steps to the other side, leaving him some distance away. If the vampire can still have blood flowing, then his forehead is probably already full of blue veins at this time: " What are you doing so far away from me?"

"Make a clean break with you." Qiao Ya said solemnly, "In case they think we have something to do with each other and come to me."

Caius gritted his teeth and said, "Then you mean we have nothing to do with each other?"

Qiao Ya laughed and waved her hands: "I'm just confusing the enemy, don't get excited, Elder Law Enforcement."

At any rate, the law enforcement elder calmed down a bit, and then said: "You go and pick up your sister, I'll come to you after I've dealt with those two guys." Now, no one can hurt you."

Qiao Ya smiled and said, "Elder Law Enforcement, is it so difficult to say loudly 'I will protect you'?"

Caius ran away immediately: "Joya! If you say one more word, I will kill you!"

Successfully teasing the vampire to the brim, Joya was extremely satisfied. She laughed a few times, then turned around, stepped on the roof ridge under her feet, as if the soles of her feet had been oiled, and jumped far away quickly, in the moonlight. The brightly colored Vatican left behind a flashing white shadow.

Just like Qiao Ya never thought that she would set foot on the Vatican again, she never thought that she would come to the Tiber River again.

Rome has been raining for a long time since the beginning of winter. As usual, the Tiber River entered the flood season at the beginning of this time period.After nightfall, there were no pedestrians by the river outside the city, only a few lights in the distance, which also dimmed under the rare clear sky of winter nights.

Joya and Lucrezia agreed to meet by an oak tree by the river outside the city. This tree was the only way they had to pass when they went to the palace with Rodrigo when they were young. The branches and leaves were extremely dense. Joya led her younger brothers and sisters in a carriage at that time. Whenever they passed by, those naughty little ghosts would open the curtain to have a look. Juan even jumped out of the carriage, ran to the oak tree, and used The dagger had his name engraved on it.

Qiao Ya walked around the tree trunk and squatted down at the part of the tree trunk facing the Tiber River. The light was limited. She groped for a long time, and found the slightly blurred lettering near the root of the tree. .

At this moment, she heard footsteps.

There is no lightness unique to girls, but extremely neat and firm footsteps.

She paused her hand that was groping for the lettering, exhaled, stood up, and turned her head slightly. The guard of the Holy See, which she had only seen during the day, was now in military uniform, holding a torch in one hand and a sword in the other, standing not far from her. far away.In front of the guards of the Holy See, stood a young man who made her feel familiar but strange.

He has brown hair, a handsome appearance, and a stern expression. He looks at Qiao Ya without any fluctuations in his eyes.

"Cesare." Joya said calmly, "Lucrecia told you anyway."

Cesare raised one corner of his mouth, but his tone was gnashed: "Gioya, you are still alive, it is really unexpected."

Qiao Ya smiled, looked at the armor on his body, and then at the group of heavily armed Holy See guards behind him, and said, "Then, are you here to catch me, or... to kill me?"

Cesare also smiled, but the smile was more or less vicious, making Joya think she saw Rodrigo in a trance: "Gioia Borgia, isn't she already dead?" He paused, "And you, are an... assassin who tried to take my sister away."
