Chapter 36: Blood Clan Ancient Text (Bloodstains) 12 Feast
In the silent room, the Lehman family's butler was waiting beside his young master. A door separated them from the chaos and blood in the hall, but the smell of blood still drifted into the room through the gap.
Hain lay listlessly on the burgundy sofa, leaning back, the teardrop-shaped sapphire earring on his left ear swaying slightly.
The uniformed butler asked in a low voice: "Master Haien, aren't you going to join the banquet? You haven't eaten for a while..."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and handed the glass of red liquid in his hand to Hain.
The blond and blue-eyed young man closed his eyes unhappily, waved his hand impatiently, and knocked the wine glass from the butler's hand. The bright red liquid quickly spread across the white velvet carpet, and the sticky blood dyed the long hair into clumps.
"Leave me alone."
There was no one around, not even a vampire, so Hein was too lazy to pretend. "I already told you, I don't need to eat for a while."
He already has a beloved fiancée, and when the wedding is held, it will be the time for him to perform the first embrace ceremony for her. He doesn't want to drink other people's blood at all.
Seeing Hein like this, the butler stopped persuading him and sighed softly in his heart, but he also knew what kind of character his young master had. If Hein didn't want to eat, even if the head of the Lehman family forced him to drink, he would not be able to drink a single drop.
"When will Lord Karan of the Geshier family come? I remember he said he wanted to talk to me about the engagement." Hain raised his arms to cover his eyes, his emerald green eyes a little moist.
He felt wronged. He had endured for so long for his fiancée, but she was unwilling to even give him the right to open the dance. He knew that his fiancée was shy and fearful, so he specially prepared this room and planned to bring her here when the feast started to prevent her from being scared by the scene of the vampires eating.
wrong......
The scene of the girl being half-held and half-embraced by Anx as she left flashed through Hain's mind. The girl's pale face was filled with a cautious expression, and she turned back and looked at him apologetically. It was obvious that she was being coerced by that savage Anx.
The gorgeously dressed young vampire suddenly sat up and told his waiter, "Remember to bring that savage Anks here too!"
The butler had no choice but to correct him: "My dear young master, it's Lord Anx."
Hain had already started throwing a tantrum, rolling on the sofa like a seal, yelling and shouting, and the jeweled accessories on his body clattered against each other.
"I don't care! Anx is just an uneducated savage!"
"I don't know how that great prince of the Gexier family could raise such a fellow!"
The distinction between honorifics and disparaging terms is quite clear.
The butler, whose silver hair was combed meticulously, was helpless. He cleaned up the mess on the table, opened the door and prepared to go look for the twins of the Gexier family. If the two adults didn't come, he was afraid that his young master would tear down the room.
When the Lehman family's housekeeper came over, Song Qingqing was being supported by Karan on her slender shoulders and sent to the door of the ballroom. She was a little confused.
She originally thought that she would not be able to escape this ball, and was even prepared to have her blood sucked by the twins at the same time and then lose consciousness due to excessive blood loss.
Seeing the girl looking up at him in confusion, Karan's handsome face showed the same gentle and faint smile, but in the hazy moonlight, it exuded a deadly and dangerous attraction, like a predator luring its prey.
"The next scene might be a little out of line, I think..." Kalan paused at the right moment, the smile in his blue eyes deepening. "Sif wouldn't want to see her former companion become a vessel for blood, right? Or does Sif want Anks and I to pamper you in the hall like they did?"
As Karan tilted his head, his long platinum hair slid slightly down his shoulders. Although he was smiling, there was not much warmth in his eyes.
Song Qingqing's face became paler as Kalan spoke, her fingers clutching the hem of her skirt trembled slightly, and her blood turned cold.
Anx smiled as well, lowering his head and sniffing a strand of the girl's black hair, as tenderly as a lover. "I don't mind, but Karan is a stickler for rules, after all. Sif is so alluring. If we continue to act coquettishly with us, maybe he will really make an exception?"
"Okay, Anx, stop scaring her and don't forget your business."
Karan put away the gentle smile he had on the girl and turned to look at Anks with an unhappy frown, who had scared the girl so much that her body temperature turned cold.
Anks then stood up with a hint of regret, and before leaving, he kissed the girl's plump, red lips provocatively.
"How cute! He shakes like this just by being scared."
If I were held in his arms and had my blood sucked while doing that, I would be shaking like a madman, and I'm afraid I would be unable to stop crying.
Song Qingqing, who was completely freed, lifted up her skirt and curtsied, "Then I will not bother you two anymore."
After saying this, she walked down the stairs and left without looking back.
Anks narrowed his eyes and looked at her back as she was almost jogging away, and suddenly chuckled, but the smile quickly disappeared, and he seemed extremely cold.
"How cold and heartless! It seems I'll have to follow your previous arrangements after I return."
Karan turned around and fixed his gaze on Butler Lehman, who had been waiting for a while not far away, and replied to Anx calmly: "Well, maybe we have to teach Sif how to say goodbye to us."
Noticing Kalan's calm gaze, the butler bowed his head and saluted.
"Good day, Lord Kalan."
Before the butler could speak, Karan said, "Did Hai En ask you to come to us? Let's go. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
The polite and gentle tone was just right, but it frightened the butler so much that he lowered his head.
"Don't dare, Master Kalan, I will take the two masters there right away."
After leaving the ballroom, Song Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, and her body temperature, which had just turned cold, gradually returned to normal. After she ran a little further away, she looked back at the magnificent and elegant auditorium building behind her.
The heavy door had not yet been completely closed, and there was still a large gap.
Then, the scene in the hall was clearly reflected in Song Qingqing's eyes.
The crystal chandelier had gone out at some point, and the light in the ballroom dimmed in an instant. In the pitch-black darkness, pairs of blood-red eyes slowly opened, revealing excitement, madness, and joy.
The feast of the vampires officially began in the darkness.
Song Qingqing's heart sank a little, and she turned and left, her steps a little flustered.
She still remembered that when the plot outline described this plot point, it mentioned "the red carpet in the hall was soaked with blood, to the point where it would almost overflow if you stepped on it." She didn't dare to imagine this scene at all.
There were many empty lounges next to the ballroom. Song Qingqing walked slowly with no destination in mind. She didn't dare go far because Ankers had just warned her. Walking down a long corridor, Song Qingqing suddenly noticed that the door of a lounge was not closed tightly. A warm yellow light shone from inside, proving that someone was inside.
Song Qingqing carefully looked inside through the crack in the door, but unexpectedly found that it was Ruiyin.
The pale and gloomy boy seemed to be resting, leaning back on the sofa with his head raised.
Song Qingqing thought about it. Although Rui Yin was a bastard, it seemed much safer to stay with him than with those vampires. She raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Ryan didn't answer.
It was not until Song Qingqing pushed open the door and came in that Rui Yin sat up as if he had just woken up, and looked in the direction of the movement and sound with a frown.
Ruiyin looked at the girl's skin, which was glowing white under the light. The skin on her neck looked particularly thin, as if a slight bite would make beautiful red blood gush out.
Ruiyin could still smell the strong, almost pungent smell of blood in the hall. He was disgusted, but he could not suppress his instinct as a vampire. What he hated even more was this uncontrolled bloodthirsty instinct.
He was particularly disgusted in his previous life, so much so that he chose to end his life filled with blood and sin.
"Why are you here?"
Ruiyin tried hard to suppress the sharp teeth that emerged from between his lips and asked in a hoarse voice. The blood red in his dark eyes was very deep, almost dark black, and it was not visible at all under normal circumstances.
After all, blood-red eyes without any impurities are one of the characteristics of pure-blooded people.
Song Qingqing felt that Ruiyin seemed to look different from usual, so that the atmosphere in the room became a little stagnant.
The girl, whose thinking was a little slow, thought for a moment, and in order to liven up the atmosphere, she lifted her skirt and turned around on the spot, looking at Ryan who was sitting on the sofa with a smile on her face.
"Ryan, doesn't my dress look good?"
Song Qingqing still remembered the astonished looks of the maids in the castle when she first put it on. Judging from their reactions, it seemed that it was not bad?
Ryan stared at the girl standing under the light. When she turned around, the burgundy skirt with gold trim bloomed like a rose, making her delicate face even more charming. She was like a dazzling dancer on the stage, and the red earrings on her earlobes were still swaying, quietly and silently plucking the hearts of the audience.
Very beautiful.
But Rui was very annoyed at this time. He took a deep breath to calm his almost uncontrollable appetite for blood and the girl in front of him. If she didn't leave, he would definitely lose control and make her cry, without any restraint, until this guy soaked the carpet.
Ruiyin didn't say anything, but just stared at her calmly, which made Song Qingqing a little nervous.
When the girl's eyelashes trembled uneasily, he finally spoke with mercy.
The pale vampire youth raised his lips. The curve of his lips was very shallow, so when he smiled like this deliberately, he looked quite bad and careless.
"You know, you are like a cake decorated with cherries and served on a silver platter, waiting for the guests to taste it."
Waiting for the group of vampires to pounce on her and devour her until not even a bone was left, Ruiyin became more and more displeased when she imagined the look in the eyes of the beasts in the dance hall. The hostility between her eyebrows could hardly be concealed.
This can be said to be extremely rude.
Because Ruiyin clearly saw that the girl's face gradually turned pale as he spoke word by word, and her eyes turned red.
Ruiyin thought calmly, he made me cry because of him.
Song Qingqing bit her lip and was so angry that she wanted to step on his foot hard. She did it, and then scolded him angrily with a trembling voice.
"You are simply an extremely rude fellow!"
After saying this, she walked out of the lounge without looking back.
