Chapter 5: Shocking the Vampire Prince (3) Ah Zhui’s internal translation: …
As the morning sun shines into Hohenzollern Castle again, tourists walk into the castle to start a new day of sightseeing.
They were completely unaware of the species existing in the parallel space, so a lady from the Lighthouse Country who was walking up the slope of the castle passed by a werewolf who had just returned from a morning jog. Three girls from the Porcelain Country who were traveling with them passed through the body of the zombie bride Elizabeth one after another. Alice, the female ghost from the British Country who was attached to the music box, was unaware that two living compatriots from the British Country were passing by her.
The location of the cathedral in the castle is the cafeteria of the Ghost Academy. Si Ling and A Zhu walked together and met Aimerik at the cafeteria door.
Although the vampire's skin was originally pale, it was obvious that he looked more haggard today, and his beautiful brown eyes had lost their luster.
Si Ling guessed that he didn't sleep well last night after she left... This was normal, because although she put away the illusion, she couldn't stop him from having wild thoughts.
Ah Zhui saw Ai Meirik and habitually wanted to avoid him. Just as he was about to pull Si Ling's hand, he saw Si Ling quicken his pace and catch up with him: "Hey, Your Highness."
"Hey you..." A Zhui's face froze, and he chased after her uneasily, trying to drag her away.
But Americ turned his head first, and Azhu's hand that was reaching out to Si Ling had to stop.
"Good morning." Si Ling smiled and nodded to Aymeric.
The horrific images in Aymeric's mind began to surge uncontrollably again. He coughed forcefully and said in an unnatural tone, "Good morning."
Si Ling stared at him intently: "Have you thought about it?"
"Uh...of course." Aimeric coughed twice again, then calmed down and said, "Fair enough."
"That's good." Si Ling nodded with satisfaction, pulled Ah Zhui back with his backhand, and strode towards the cafeteria again, leaving Aimelik with a cheerful, "See you later!"
Ah Zhui looked surprised: "You have seen him?" She asked Si Ling doubtfully, "When?"
"Last night," Si Ling said without hiding anything, "we had a friendly chat."
As soon as Si Ling stepped into the cafeteria and turned left, he realized what it meant to meet enemies on a narrow road.
It was the breakfast rush hour, and there was a short queue at the front desk. The person in front of her was the Italian vampire who had started with sarcasm yesterday.
The other party immediately noticed her, and his vampire fangs were instinctively exposed in hostility, which suddenly turned into a "ha" laugh.
Si Ling raised his eyes expressionlessly. The Italian vampire deliberately raised his voice: "I heard that you Chinese love to eat insects and offal? Can I ask what you usually have for breakfast? Fried leeches or pan-fried lungs?"
As he spoke, the students in front of him had already ordered their meals. Si Ling's gaze shifted from his chubby face to the front desk, and he said in fluent Italian to the ghostly figure behind the counter, "Pasta."
Ghost lowered his head to record and asked, "With white sauce? Red sauce?"
Si Ling: "Old Beijing fried sauce."
The ghost's hand trembled, and the quill pen drew a long line on the paper.
"Hey, you!" The Italian vampire in front of him suddenly became furious, his fangs fully revealed, and he grabbed Si Ling's collar.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, the students in the cafeteria fell into dead silence as they turned their heads in shock.
They were just looking around reflexively, but when they saw the scene in front of them, curiosity filled their eyes. Students who were a little further away even stood up from their seats, for fear of missing out on any exciting scene.
——As far as the eye could see, the chubby Italian vampire was knocked away by the powerful magic power and hit a row of wooden cabinets on the left wall of the restaurant, while Si Ling was still standing at the front desk.
After a few seconds of daze, everyone looked at the vampire prince in a suit and tie behind Si Ling.
Aymeric Usselian put his hands in his suit pockets, ignoring everyone's gazes, and just stared calmly ahead: "Your contempt and slander of Eastern culture is like that of superficial humans whose lives are fleeting. Forgive me for reminding you that the Usselian family originated in the 8th century BC. At that time, the ancient Roman Empire that you regard as orthodox was just a newly emerging city, and the Hans Kingdom where my family thrived was still in the tribal stage. Therefore, my ancestors had the honor of participating in the initial establishment of ancient Roman civilization. But at the same time..."
He lowered his eyes to look at Si Ling. "In the far east, the Shang Dynasty, which lasted more than five centuries, has been over two hundred years old, and the Western Zhou Dynasty is also about to end. In another two hundred years, Confucius, a figure even illiterate people would have heard of, will be born. When he had three thousand disciples, the civilization most of you were living in didn't even have its infancy."
Hans's voice was low, and when he spoke it in such a cold and reserved manner, it was really impressive.
Aymeric thought to himself that he would never tell anyone in his lifetime that the reason he was acting so arrogantly was because the way they all looked at him just now had aroused some horrible memories in him.
Si Ling turned his head and stared at him, thinking jokingly: Oh, it seems that he didn't sleep well last night not entirely because of being scared, but it has something to do with staying up late to study history books and prepare his speech.
"Now, Aurelio." Aymeric looked calmly at the Italian vampire who fell to the ground and gasped. "I don't mind apologizing for you, but I suggest you do it yourself."
"I, I, I, I..." Aurelio frantically tried to get up, but the strength of a vampire was no joke. Aymeric's punch had knocked down three wooden cabinets, leaving Aurelio awkwardly wedged inside. He was fat, and his clumsy struggles slowed him down.
This embarrassing situation made him feel ashamed, and Aymeric's gaze made him sweat on his forehead. He stammered, "I, I... I'm sorry, I apologize... I'm sorry, I mean... Ma'am, please don't make it up to me..."
Si Ling was not in a hurry to express her opinion. She waited coldly for this vampire with bad character to finally struggle out of the broken wooden cabinet.
Aurelio's back, including his clothes and skin, were scratched by the broken wooden boards. Although the vampire's characteristics had allowed his skin to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, the wooden strips exposed by his torn black suit and white shirt were dangling behind him in a messy manner.
Vampires who pride themselves on being noble rarely appear in such an embarrassing situation, but Aymeric squinted at him and thought to himself: You should really feel lucky.
—If you knew what I went through last night.
Aurelio limped to Si Ling, finally calming down a little. He cleared his throat and bowed his head to Si Ling: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry for causing you trouble because of my superficial understanding."
"You haven't caused me any trouble. You've only shown me your narrow-mindedness and meanness." Si Ling had a gentle smile on her face. She lowered her eyes, and Aurelio noticed that there wasn't a trace of disgust in her eyes, only obvious contempt, as if the Creator was looking at his smallest work. "I don't accept your apology either."
Aurelio's mind froze, and in panic he subconsciously looked at Aymeric, who was also stunned.
Si Ling took in Aurelio's panic and told him word by word, "I will remember every word you said over the past two days, but I'm willing to tolerate it for now. If it happens again, I'll settle both accounts."
"I..." Aurelio felt a little guilty and looked at Aymeric again, but Aymeric just looked away expressionlessly.
“I won’t do it again!” Aurelio promised quickly. “I promise I won’t do it again!”
The silence in the cafeteria deepened, and the students looked at each other in confusion.
They didn't understand what had happened that could have caused the arrogant Prince Aymeric to stand up and teach his own people a lesson and support her.
I'm even more confused about the background of this newly arrived Oriental ghost girl. How could she say "I don't accept your apology" so disrespectfully even when Aymeric stepped in to suppress the dispute?!
At the next window, the Corpse Bride Elizabeth frowned unhappily, her gloomy mood making the dark circles under her eyes darker.
Si Ling felt that he had said everything he needed to say. Without looking at Aurelio again, he turned around and said to the receptionist, "No more noodles. I'd like some wontons with red oil. Thank you."
"...Okay, ma'am." The ghost waiter quickly stopped eating melon, quickly wrote down Si Ling's order with the quill in his hand, and handed it to the hobbit in the window behind him who was only half the height of a normal human①.
These hobbits love food, eating six meals a day. This passion has enabled them to quickly master the culinary techniques of various cuisines since joining the Goblin Academy. With the added magical power of Irish goblins, skilled in creating magical foods, the hobbits' food is served at a breakneck speed. Si Ling received her wonton with red oil in just three minutes.
"I'll wait for you over there." She said to A Zhui while looking at the table not far away.
Ah Zhui only came back to his senses from his shock at this moment, quickly replied "OK", and then casually ordered two meals from the ghost waiter.
Another three minutes later, Ah Zhui came to sit opposite Si Ling with a plate in hand. His face was still filled with surprise and doubt. He gasped and stared at Si Ling: "How did you do it... Aimelik is aloof by nature and usually doesn't even bother to say a word!"
"Not bad." Si Ling blew on the steaming wonton in the spoon and shrugged. "I think he's easy to talk to."
Ah Zhui was surprised.
She stared at Si Ling in amazement for a long time, and finally remembered what she had said from her trance: fear is fear.
"...Did you scare him?!" she asked, feeling that she had said something ridiculous.
Si Ling smiled and thought for a moment: "You might as well say... for the sake of long-term peace in the future, I appropriately demonstrated my strength and successfully completed the transaction I wanted." She used a statement that she thought was more appropriate.
Ah Zhui’s mental translation: Yes, I scared him.
——And I succeeded.
