Chapter 40 Blood Clan Ancient Text (Bloodstains) 16 Don’t Leave Me
Just when Anx could no longer contain his desire to confront Hain directly, Karan, who had been sitting quietly beside him, spoke lightly.
"As Your Excellency said, the Gheer family wishes to dissolve this inappropriate engagement with the Leman family. Sif is the youngest daughter of the Gheer family, and her wishes are paramount."
After a slight pause, Karan continued, "If you wish to continue the relationship between the two families, the Geshier family would not mind choosing a new and suitable bride for you."
"Where's Sif?"
Hein narrowed his eyes dangerously, his emerald green pupils looking cold. "Lord Karan, you just said it was Sif's wish?"
"Then could you please ask Sif to talk to me in person? I'd like to hear her thoughts."
Ankers suddenly sneered, "Sif is about to break off her engagement with you, which proves she doesn't want to see you at all, and yet you're still so shameless..."
Before Anx could finish his words, he was stopped by Karan who raised his hand. Karan's attitude was very polite, but the words he said seemed a little subtle.
"Sif has just recovered from a serious illness and is not fit to see you. Please forgive her."
Hein was so angry that he almost laughed. He knew that this was just Karan's rhetoric. The twin brothers were playing the good cop and the bad cop in front of him. To put it bluntly, they wanted to cancel the engagement and not even let him see Sif.
As a fellow male, Hain could vaguely guess what the purpose of Anx and Karan's actions was.
To put it bluntly, the twins were willing to risk being punished by the head of the Gexier family, the prince's father, in order to cancel the engagement with the Lehman family. It was most likely that they... had developed an inappropriate possessiveness towards their young fiancée.
But even though he knew this, Hein knew that he could not fall out with the Geshil family at this moment. The respect he once had for Kalan had long since disappeared.
Hein suppressed the rising anger and stood up to leave. He was even able to remain rational and say goodbye with a smile before leaving.
"In that case, I will leave first. If Xifu feels better, please let Master Kalan know my feelings."
"By the way, I have also prepared a few blood slaves for Lord Kalan during this visit. Please accept them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the servants of the Lehman family dragged the trembling humans in front of Karan and Anx.
Karan nodded gently, but Hain felt that his polite and gentle attitude was hypocritical.
When passing by Anx, Hein bumped him hard with his shoulder, and without even saying sorry, he walked straight out of the reception room, completely ignoring the mess in the hall. Naturally, the servants of the Geshil family would clean it up, and it had nothing to do with him.
As soon as he left the manor and got on the carriage, Hain gave his butler an order with an expressionless face.
"Send a letter to Prince Geshir, mentioning the good deeds done by his two heirs."
"Yes, my dear young master."
The butler raised his hand and saluted, then quietly left after responding.
Song Qingqing knew nothing about what was happening in the castle. She was diligently trying to persuade Percy to support her escape plan, which included but was not limited to sitting quietly in the corner and pretending to be fragile, basking in the sun and cherishing the sunshine when Percy came to visit her quietly.
So every time Percy saw the girl basking in the sun, the guilt, struggle and pain in his heart increased.
That day, Song Qingqing woke up from her nap and didn't see Percy. She lay there for a while and didn't hear any movement from Percy, but just now Percy had promised her that he would stay with her until she woke up, which made her sleep peacefully.
Before going to bed, he told her many historical stories of the Geshier family. Percy's voice was very gentle when he told the stories, as if he was reciting a pleasant family epic. Song Qingqing was not very interested in the history of internal strife in the Geshier family, so she fell asleep quickly.
Song Qingqing slowly sat up and sat on the bed, thinking with her still confused mind. She guessed that Percy might be preparing medicine for her in the small room next door.
After figuring out where to find Percy, Song Qingqing lifted the warm velvet quilt covering her body and stepped barefoot on the floor. The high tower did not receive much sunlight all year round, so the floor was cold. She subconsciously retracted her foot when she touched it unexpectedly, but she quickly adapted and stepped steadily.
Song Qingqing, wearing a nightgown without even wearing shoes, with slightly messy black hair, slowly walked out of the room, and then followed the smell of medicine to find the small room where Percy was.
Song Qingqing walked slowly forward, thinking.
If she didn't wear shoes and didn't comb her hair, it would better show her panic in looking for him, right?
Her footsteps were very light, making almost no sound on the cold floor, but Percy was a vampire with keen hearing and smell, so he quickly noticed the slight noise at the door. Percy, who was packing up, turned around to look after hearing Song Qingqing's movement.
It was almost evening and the light on the tower was not bright, but a ray of yellow light happened to fall from the position where Song Qingqing was standing. She had not been out for a while, and her skin, which had not been exposed to the sun for a long time, was surprisingly white.
A girl in a snow-white nightgown stood quietly by the door, her black hair disheveled. She seemed to have been in such a panic that she didn't even have time to put on her shoes before coming out to look for him. Her snow-white feet were slightly blood-red under the remaining sunlight, and the light blue veins on the instep of her feet were clearly visible, and even her toes were tinged with an adorable pink.
The pair of clear purple eyes that were looking at him changed from confusion at the beginning to surprise and brightness when seeing him.
The cold and dead heart seemed to be suddenly stabbed by something hot and sharp, causing it to ache and swell, and blood to flow out.
Percy stood in the dark corner of the small room, and Song Qingqing stood in the light outside the small room.
As if she felt the light falling on her feet, her toes couldn't help but curl up slightly, which looked very cute.
She was warm and soft, fresh and bright; he was cold and had long been dead. Percy had never felt as clearly as he did at that moment the difference between him and the girl.
Their eyes met in the air, and Song Qingqing could see that Percy seemed to be hesitating.
So Song Qingqing pursed her lips and looked at him quietly with her moist eyes.
"Percy?"
Percy was quickly defeated. He sighed in his heart, took a step forward into the bright light, reached out and picked up the girl. He carried her back to the room silently and placed her gently on the bed.
Song Qingqing sat obediently beside the bed and stopped bothering him. Seeing that Percy didn't say anything along the way, she hesitated for a moment and then spoke to him softly.
"I woke up and didn't see you, so I went out to look for you."
Percy still didn't speak, but squatted down quietly, took off the white silk gloves on his hands, and then gently held the girl's feet.
When her toes touched the palm of her hand, she did not feel the other person's temperature as usual, but it was almost the same as her body temperature, which shows how cold her feet are now.
Song Qingqing was startled by his action and remembered how Ruiyin had teased her before. She subconsciously wanted to pull her foot back, but she couldn't break free for a while and was held even tighter.
Percy lowered his head, his silver hair draped softly. Because Song Qingqing had told him that he didn't need to be so restrained in front of her, Percy would take off the ribbon tied around his silver hair before entering the tower to see her.
After a long while, feeling the temperature of the girl's toes rising, Percy sighed, took out a handkerchief from the pocket of his uniform jacket, and carefully wiped the dust off the soles of her feet. After that, he put on the shoes beside the bed for her with his own hands.
"I'm sorry, miss. It's my fault. I won't do that again next time."
He would wait quietly for her to wake up so that she could see him as soon as she woke up.
Percy apologized in a low voice. It was his fault. He didn't know she was so dependent on him. He shouldn't have made a promise and then left without permission. She had just recovered from her illness and was still uneasy.
He apologized so suddenly that Song Qingqing grabbed the quilt under her hands, not knowing what to say.
It was clearly he who was running around barefoot with some subtle intentions, but Percy didn't say anything. Instead, he reflected on himself and apologized to her.
Song Qingqing suddenly felt something warm, cool and soft touching her knee. She lowered her eyes in panic and found that it was Percy who gently kissed her knee. His expression and posture were extremely pious, as if he was kissing some precious treasure. The delicate kisses extended all the way up and finally stopped at the most vulnerable and warm place, which scared her so much that she quickly shrank back.
The shock was quite strong, and Song Qingqing, who was unable to react in time, choked and coughed. She covered her lips with her backhand to prevent a scream from escaping her mouth. What was he doing?!
Song Qingqing was so shocked and angry that she reached out and grabbed Percy's long silver hair. The silver hair wrapped around her fingertips, just like Percy himself, tender and gentle. Percy raised his head and looked at her with his bright red eyes. The girl's eyes looked bright and beautiful, but there was no rejection in them.
Percy lowered his head again, his slender fingers grasping her thin ankles, his cold, light-colored lips moving a little closer, and the slightly cool tip of his tongue swept away all the warmth and sweetness that unconsciously seeped out from between his lips, which belonged only to him at this moment.
He whispered in a soft, hoarse voice, "Sif, my dear lady, may I call you that?"
Song Qingqing couldn't hear what Percy was saying at all with the black and white in front of her eyes. There was a long roar in her ears, like a warning sound symbolizing a critical point. Her fingertips trembled and her tears soaked her long and thick eyelashes. She lay down with her eyes slightly closed, and her fingers took down a few silver hairs from Percy.
Percy was at a loss when he saw her tears. He carefully picked up Song Qingqing and gently kissed away the moisture on her eyelashes, apologizing repeatedly, "Miss, I'm sorry, I lost control."
He was like a silver-haired Persian cat, rubbing against his owner constantly, provided he didn't rub the slightly cool water stains on the tip of his tall nose onto his owner's cheek.
The first thing Song Qingqing did after regaining consciousness was to wipe Percy's nose with her hand. Percy kissed her palm naturally, and his voice was a little muffled through her palm.
Percy kissed her palm and whispered, "Miss, please don't leave me."
This sudden incident was barely over. Song Qingqing curled up in his arms, reaching out to grab the ray of light that was gradually dimming and disappearing, watching the light gradually leave her palm and disappear in a flash.
She put her arms around Percy's neck and whispered her request to him.
"Percy, I want to go out in the sun."
