The atmosphere at the dinner table was strange.
After the dishes were served, all the other servants were dismissed, leaving only Si Yuan standing to the side, her back straight, her gaze sweeping over the entire scene, and even the curve of her smile remained unchanged.
However, he wore a black, opaque eye patch over his left eye, and the bandages wrapped around his hands faintly emitted the smell of disinfectant, causing White Wolf to cover his nose.
Perhaps in order to recover from his injuries more quickly, Dario transformed back into wolf form for the first time in days, curling up at Vili's feet.
Its silvery-white fur was slightly dull, and although its eyes were closed, its ears were erect, constantly paying attention to the movements around it.
As always, Leisen remained silent with his head down, his long hair obscuring his face, but he looked up to observe the person opposite him much more frequently.
Willie, however, completely ignored everyone and focused on the food on the table. The only sounds in the room were the clinking of knives and forks and the soft chewing.
Lansa was the first to notice the old butler's arrival. She had been fidgeting, but when she saw Deville, she breathed a sigh of relief and mustered her courage to stand up.
"I...I'm full! I'm leaving now!"
Her departure seemed to disrupt some kind of balance.
Si Yuan suddenly coughed twice, seemingly casually smoothing her smooth black hair at the side of her neck, revealing the extremely conspicuous symmetrical teeth marks.
"..."
Everyone stopped moving, but Dario was the first to act.
It twitched its ears and crawled out from under the table, but suppressed the urge to growl. Instead, it placed its front paws on the boy. Its massive body whimpered and arched forward like a puppy, its drooping tail lightly brushing against Vili's smooth calves, causing a slight tickle.
Willy reached out and touched the furry chest, turning his head slightly to avoid its wet nose, but couldn't help laughing.
"Don't come any closer...it's too hot."
Dario controlled his strength well and didn't push him down; he just wanted to squeeze himself into the other's arms, just like when they were children.
Her blue eyes, like the ice of the Arctic, gradually collapsed and melted under the sunlight, revealing a hint of grievance.
Vili strangely discerned its thoughts.
Why... won't you drink my blood?
Is getting bitten a good thing? Vili tilted his head, pushed Dario's steaming head away, and deftly dodged its licks with his fingers.
“For vampires,” Lysen said in a low voice, “the best-tasting blood is human blood, followed by animal blood.”
"Werewolf blood is completely unpalatable; it burns your throat as soon as it enters your mouth."
"But there is one special case."
“Those powerful vampires… their blood is a delicacy.”
"Especially purebreds."
The vampire clan has a strict hierarchy, and usually only those in higher positions can drink the blood of those in lower positions; the reverse is not true.
And the reason why Leisen said that at this moment...
He kept his head down, but unbuttoned the top button of his collar, revealing glimpses of his pale skin with each movement, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Deville finally couldn't stand it any longer. He strode forward, first bowing to Vili and Leisen, then coldly looking at Si Yuan.
Let's solve this first.
"Your father is seriously ill. He wrote this morning saying he hopes you can come home to see him off on his final journey."
This is a plot point from the original work, and it was this opportunity that allowed "Si Yuan" to leave the heavily guarded castle and make contact with the court.
Si Yuan was born into a noble family that went bankrupt after a major upheaval. Although he was said to have been kidnapped, he was actually sold to this place by his family for money, but he was completely unaware of this. He harbored a deep hatred for all vampires, especially his master.
It's somewhat sad to think about.
Vili was recalling the plot when he was suddenly drawn to a crying sound.
"How could this happen..." Si Yuan's voice trembled, tears falling to the ground, "Father, he..."
"..."
If possible, Willie would like to suggest to 314 that your host is really not good at crying scenes, so don't give him roles like that in the future.
"I'm sorry... I lost my composure for a moment, young master."
Wiping away his tears, he looked at Vili, his eyes filled with sorrow, yet he forced a pale smile. His soft, clear facial features, with their graceful and elegant oriental beauty, actually had a touch of pitifulness.
Unfortunately, Willy remained unmoved and even urged him on:
"Let's go quickly."
If it had been any later, Old Deng might have been alive and kicking.
After all, Si Yuan's father only pretended to be sick to get his son home in order to swindle money... How could he know that the other party's money had already been fined by the employer?
It's a pity I won't be able to witness this wonderful show.
Si Yuan moved her feet, then turned her head reluctantly, only to be met with a perfunctory wave from Vili and Dario's gloating tail wagging incessantly.
"After I leave, young master, you must take good care of yourself."
After all, when he comes back next time... it will be time to pick this rose.
Then the serious old butler turned his gaze to the grinning white wolf. The large tail in his sight swayed less and less, and finally stopped carefully.
Deville's expression was cold, but softened the moment he looked at Willy.
“Young Master Vili, regarding yesterday’s matter, this is Young Master Elian’s reply.”
What happened yesterday...
Ah, you mean your own messy bedroom, right?
All the furniture has been replaced... It seems my brother is really angry this time.
However, as he watched the final scene, Willy unconsciously raised an eyebrow and glanced at the white wolf beside him, seemingly casually.
The wolf king suddenly fell ill and died, leaving behind a young young leader and sparking a rebellion within the tribe. Intelligence revealed that some unscrupulous individuals had discovered Dario's whereabouts, knowing he had survived, and were searching for him, hoping to add fuel to the fire.
