I didn't know you were such a vampire

In the past year, Rodrigo tried his best and finally became Pope Alexander VI. Cesare, who originally studied ecclesiology at the University of Pisa, was hastily recalled to the Vatican and became the youngest cardinal in history.

Cesare is young and mature, usually he doesn't talk much, except for his younger sister Lucrecia, he is not particularly close to anyone, and he has a natural sense of indifference and arrogance.Although he is not Rodrigo's favorite child, he is the most reassuring child. He taught Cesare to study theology and ecclesiology since he was a child, and received the priesthood at the age of eight, clearing away all obstacles for Cesare on the way to the authority of the Holy See. .

Although Cesare had seen Qiao Ya climb up the tower of the Orsini Palace in the middle of the night a few years ago, he never told the elders, and occasionally talked about his yearning with Qiao Ya, so Qiao Ya never thought of it. , One day, this worry-free younger brother will lead a group of fully armed Holy See guards to stop her on the banks of the Tiber River.

But when he finally said the word "assassin", Qiao Ya suddenly understood.

Probably this younger brother, already influenced by his father Rodrigo, joined the Knights Templar.And by accident, she had already stood on the opposite side of the Borgia family.

Despite the limited light on the riverside at night, Joya could still barely see some complicated emotions in Cesare's eyes. She sighed and lifted her hood, and the riverside wind brushed the messy hair on her cheeks. She looked at Cesare, and said, "Yes, I am an assassin."

Cesare's face was still stern, and there was even a sneer at the corner of his mouth, but Qiaoya saw him holding the sword at his waist and tightly grasping the hilt, with veins popping out from the back of his hand, and then he gritted his teeth Say, "You admit it?"

Qiao Ya nodded: "That's right."

"So, you also know the identity of your father?" Cesare asked again.

"Yes."

Cesare's eyes darkened a little. He took a step forward and asked, "You disregarded your own safety and created an accident just to escape from the Vatican, and then...become an assassin?"

Qiao Ya said: "Becoming an assassin stems from an accident, but I have never regretted it."

"Never regretted it?" Cesare laughed angrily. He pulled his sword out of its sheath at once. The bright light of the sword blade suddenly pierced the darkness of the river, and reflected Joya's calm gray in an instant. blue eyes.

"The Borgia family has raised you for more than ten years. You just turned your back on the family and stood on the opposite side of everyone. After that, you actually said that you don't regret it?" Cesare pointed the sword in his hand at Qiao Ya, "What if I kill you?"

Qiao Ya still said calmly: "As you said, Qiao Ya Borgia fell into the water and died this spring."

The distance between the tip of Cesare's sword and her was only a few inches, and she could even feel the cold air from the weapon permeate the skin of her neck and penetrate into her flesh. As long as Cesare took another step forward, the sword would sink into her flesh and blood. She didn't want to show it, but the Hidden Blade on her right wrist was ready. She didn't want to hurt her older brother, but if she wanted to get away, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Just when she was thinking about how to stun Cesare and escape, Cesare put the sword back into the sheath again. There was no glazing on the blade, only the fire of the Holy See guards, reflecting a dim light in her vision.

Cesare stared at her, then said, "Did you hear that, Father."

Joya was slightly taken aback, she looked over Cesare's shoulders, and looked at the group of Holy See guards. These usually well-trained soldiers separated from the middle to the two sides to make way for a passage, wearing ivory white robes Alexander VI The pope, her father in this life, Rodrigo Borgia slowly walked out of this passage.

In the candlelight held by the guards, his face was much clearer than behind the backlit desk in his office.Compared with last year, he had a few more lines on his forehead, and his eyes were slightly cloudy, which is a sign of old age. However, when he looked at Qiao Ya not far away, his eyes lit up for a moment, as if it was enough to make people All see through the light.

Joya thought it was Lucrecia who was saying goodbye to her closest brother Cesare before leaving, so Cesare was surrounded in advance, but Rodrigo's appearance made her slowly give birth to another She fears the thought.

"Lucrecia told me." Rodrigo looked into her eyes and said slowly.

The corner of Qiao Ya's mouth curled up reluctantly, and she was indeed betrayed by Lucrecia.

"Don't blame her either. This child is loyal to the family and to the Templars. If she alone should have died and her sister came back, she would cheer so that the whole Vatican would know her joy." Rodrigo mentioned the youngest daughter with a smile in his eyes. There is a bit of a smile, but this smile is fleeting, "However, when this sister betrayed the family and became an assassin, she suffered for a long time. After I asked, she finally told me and asked you to bring You are on your way."

Joya tried her best to suppress her inner anger, but this strength made her voice tremble a little: "Lucrecia is so young, why do you want to get her involved between the Brotherhood and the Templars... ..."

"Then I also want to ask Ricardo Totti why he involved my daughter!" Rodrigo quickly cut off his words. He has always shown people with a warm smile, especially when dealing with children. On Qiaoya's birthday in winter, it was the first time he got angry at the child, but this time, his face was tense, and the anger was almost bursting out of his eyes, like a volcano waiting to explode.

"Cesare, Juan, and Geoffrey, they will all join the Knights Templar according to my arrangement, only you and Lucrecia are the two daughters, I hope you can live in peace and stability, even if you become a duchess No matter if you become the wife of the lord, you will live a good life that all girls in this world can't even imagine under my arrangement." Rodrigo said angrily, "But, you just listened to Ricardo Totti Talking to that stupid slut of your mother, violated my arrangement, and even emulated your mother, escaped from the Vatican, and became an assassin."

"Shame! This is the lifelong shame of Rodrigo Borgia!"

The pope, who always had a kind expression, was so angry that his body was trembling. He yelled loudly, and said to his daughter whom he had pampered for more than ten years, "Since you jumped off the Tiber River in the spring, then you, forever and ever!" Stay away there!"

The survivors of the Romanian ethnic group, Vladmir and Stephen, have always followed Caius like tarsal maggots. When Caius lived in Florence as a representative of the Volturi family, he was often affected by these two things. This guy harassed them. They knew that Caius was powerful, and generally they would not confront him head-on, but they would always make some dirty tricks from time to time, like flies buzzing around people's ears in summer, which was annoying.

Caius didn't care at first, he was very confident in his own strength, if these two ancient vampires attacked him together, he was sure to be invincible.

It's just that, when there was another Qiao Ya by his side, he inevitably began to look forward and backward.

Although he didn't care, he also knew that Ah Luo was right, Qiao Ya was a human being, no matter how powerful she was, she was still a human being who could only struggle uselessly in the face of the vampire's claws and fangs.

Therefore, he had to use all methods to protect his human girl during the two-year agreement.

The Vatican is composed of gorgeous and exquisite churches. The lights at night are holy and brilliant. Under such sacred lights, Caius, dressed in a black robe, twisted off the head of a newborn vampire when the lights couldn't reach the corner of the alley. .

He suddenly remembered the first time he met Qiaoya. It was also in a backlit alley, and he was holding the head of a vampire that would not drip blood. Although the human girl had a frightened look in her eyes, she mustered up the courage to protect herself. and the people around you.

He frowned.

He had been dead for nearly 2000 years, but this night he felt the feeling that his heart was still beating in his chest, and this palpitation made him panic.

He threw the head in his hand casually, and with a movement, he appeared on the dome of the church the next moment, and then flew towards the place Joya had mentioned.

At the moment when the Holy See guards rushed towards Joya with their weapons raised, Ezio had spoken to her when she was still training in fighting in Monteriggioni.

He asked her if she was afraid of death?

In fact, for Qiao Ya who had already died once, once the word death became a real experience, she was not so afraid. She didn't reply, but Ezio saw the answer in her eyes, which was a bit strange He said, "You don't look like someone who is not afraid of death."

"why?"

"With someone you care about, you will never want to die."

"The deeper the concern, the more afraid of death."

Qiao Ya's body moved suddenly. She faced the soldiers, swung her right hand out, and immediately popped out the Hidden Sword tied to her wrist. Without a sound, she pierced into the heart of the young soldier who was rushing forward. She didn't Instead of pulling out the sharp blade in a hurry, he put his left hand on the opponent's shoulder, leaped into the air with his strength, and kicked the wrist of the person who rushed over, kicking the weapon in the person's hand far away.

At this time, the third person came again. She circled around the young soldier's body, put her legs on the opponent's shoulders, and pulled out the Hidden Sword inserted in his chest with her strength. Insert the top of the third person's skull, then somersault and jump down.

At this time, the first person groaned from his throat and fell to his knees.

Joya studies assassination, and pays attention to the art of killing silently in an instant. Although Mario and Ezio have praised her for being extremely talented, she also knows that facing a large number of well-trained Holy See guards, she There was no chance of winning at all, only escape, but the moment Rodrigo appeared, she knew that her chance of escape was very slim.

The seemingly amiable Pope is actually the Grand Master of the Roman Rite of the Knights Templar.

If he wanted to, Qiao Ya would definitely die tonight.

Qiao Ya clenched her teeth, mobilized all her body's reaction ability and strength, and tried to repel the attack in the fastest and most labor-saving way possible, but she was only a human being after all, and she was only a person who had received rare customer training for less than a year. A year-old human girl, she has reached her limit. After killing seven or eight people, she has already suffered a lot of wounds.

And just when she put the Hidden Blade on a soldier, a Xueliang sword stabbed towards her obliquely when she was caught off guard, and she immediately retreated to avoid it, but a short wound was still cut on the cheek by the sharp blade, and she hurriedly He took a few steps back, adjusted his posture, and caught the next sword.

The man with the sword was Cesare. After he participated in the battle, the other soldiers of the Pope's guard withdrew from the battle group under the command of his eyes. They raised their weapons and surrounded them in a circle.

Although Cesare is still young, he has practiced martial arts with the soldiers of the Holy See Guard since he was a child, and he has learned all killer moves. Whether it is strength or the angle of stabbing, he is much more mature than Joya, who is already on the verge of her physical limit , under the situation that his killing moves are pressing every step of the way, it is already reluctant to parry.

While parrying, she retreated until she retreated to the edge of the Tiber River.

Cesare stared at her coldly through the intersecting blades, and asked, "Tell me, where are the assassins of the Brotherhood gathered, and my father will spare you, and you will still be Miss Borgia by then."

Qiao Ya smiled: "Do you think I will tell you?"

"You're going to die, you know?" Cesare took another step forward.

Qiao Ya replied: "I know."

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Cesare asked again.

... It is impossible to say that you are not afraid of death.

There was a younger brother who hid in the corner of the small town all day waiting for her to read stories. She had promised Martina and Ricardo in her heart that he would always live happily like a child.And... She made an appointment with an old guy who had lived for nearly two hours to wait for him here, and he would be a sender of blessings for her every birthday in the future.

Ezio is right, the more you worry about, the more you fear death.

"You can kill me, I won't tell you where the Assassins gather." Joya smiled at Cesare, "It's just that the Tiber River is involved, and it will be another bad luck to swallow me."

Before the smile faded from her face, she let out a muffled snort, only to feel a pain in her abdomen, and the sword in Cesare's hand had pierced her abdomen.

In the distance, Rodrigo lowered his eyes, turned around, turned his back on Cesare and Joya by the river, and walked away slowly surrounded by the Holy See guards.

But Cesare withdrew his sword, looked at Qiaoya who was tottering, stretched out his hand, and pushed her back towards the raging Tiber River.

Before Joya fell into the water, she saw Cesare's cold face moved a little under the desolate moonlight, even his lips moved a little, but unfortunately she couldn't hear him clearly, and only fell into the water. The moment he entered the water, he recognized a word from the shape of his mouth.

"...Goodbye, sister."
