"What the hell? Are you kidding me?" Jiang Si didn't reach out to take the book that Agares handed her: "How to win rapid urban warfare in the era of cold weapons after abandoning firearms? Are you sure this is a story and not a history of a battle?"
Agares held up the book: "The history of a battle is also a kind of story, with a cause, a beginning, a process, and a result!"
Ginger shreds: "!!!!"
Holy crap.
This actually works?
Is this really a story?
Jiang Si waved her hand: "No thanks, no thanks. I can tell stories, but you can get lost!"
Agares put down the book in her hand, bent down to get a blanket and covered the two children's legs. "Okay, I'll go wash the children's clothes, tidy up, and then leave!"
Since he had said that, Jiang Si simply said, "Okay, go ahead."
Agares gave her a deep look, then turned off the main light in the room, leaving only the bedside lamp on, instantly plunging the room into darkness.
Jiang Si turned to the side, looked at the two babies drinking milk, cleared her throat and said, "Little darlings, let's change the story today."
The two babies, holding their bottles, moved in unison upon hearing the sound, turning towards Jiang Si, looking at her, and gulping down their milk.
Seeing the two children looking at her, Jiang Si got excited: "The name of the story we're going to tell today is 'The fastidious daily life of a domineering vampire.'"
"It is said that a long, long, long time ago, there was a royal family, a not very wealthy royal family. The queen became pregnant and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy."
"This baby boy was born different from ordinary people. How was he different? His skin was as white as snow, his eyes were as red as blood, and he never cried. He was also very beautiful."
"How beautiful was he? His mother, the most beautiful woman in the royal family at the time, paled in comparison to this little baby."
"Everyone who saw this beautiful baby boy marveled at his beauty and skin, even though he had blood-red eyes, because his beauty and skin made them negligible."
"But... the witch came. The witch was wearing a red robe, carrying a black scepter, and wearing a black cloak."
"When the witch saw this beautiful little boy, she pointed at him with her scepter and told the king and queen that he was a jinx, a jinx!"
"If this jinx is left in the palace, in this country, all the people of this country will die a violent death."
The queen didn't believe it. This was her first child, her heir, so she asked the witch, "If this child doesn't stay in the country, where will he go?"
"The witch holding the scepter looked at the beautiful baby boy and told the king and queen that she was the messenger of justice and the incarnation of the gods. She said that if they gave her the beautiful baby boy, all the troubles would be resolved."
"The queen thought the witch was talking nonsense and rebuked her, but the king believed that he was the king of the country and had supreme power and enjoyed supreme power."
"But when he thought of the witch's words, that his supreme power and his people would die at the hands of his child, then that child could simply not exist."
"So...the king wanted to give the child to the witch, but the queen refused. This was the child she had carried for ten months and given birth to, so of course she didn't want to."
The witch didn't insist, but said, "I won't take the child. The disaster has already begun. If you can't solve it, you can light a red fire, and I will appear and solve it!"
The king was terrified, and the queen held the child tightly and took him back to her palace, refusing to believe that her child was the jinx the witch had spoken of.
"This happened three days after the witch left. People started dying in the city. The deaths were gruesome, and at first, they didn't attract any attention. But as more and more people died, it caught people's attention, and they reported it to the king!"
"When the king saw the dead body, he remembered the witch's words and went to the queen's palace to try to snatch the child and give it to the witch."
"The queen pleaded, almost crying herself to death, and the king was slightly moved..."
"But this moment of emotion didn't last long before more dead bodies appeared. Before, the dead bodies had one or two holes in their necks and bled to death. Now, more dead bodies have appeared, headless dead bodies!"
"And there was more than one headless dead body. Suddenly, everyone was in a panic. Someone spread the witch's words, and the whole country knew that the queen had given birth to a monster, a jinx."
"As more and more people died, the people began to gather and began to denounce the king and queen, demanding that they hand over the jinx, execute him, and bury him alive!"
"The king was frightened, so he started a red fire, which summoned the witch!"
"The witch stepped out from the army that was fighting against the king, walked towards the king, took the beautiful baby boy from the queen's hands, and with a victorious smile, stepped on her broom and flew away in a flash."
"After the witch left with the beautiful baby boy, no one died. However, the queen, who lost her child, missed him every day and grew thinner and thinner, no longer as beautiful as before."
"The king's ministers then sent their daughters to him. On one side was a beautiful, lively, and charming young woman, and on the other was a emaciated queen who was always in tears. The king's scales tipped, and his heart sank. The queen was banished to the cold palace."
"The empress, who had been confined to the cold palace, developed a rebellious spirit and, with the help of her maid, left the palace to search for her child."
"A mother, for the sake of her child, traveled through mountains and rivers, she was not afraid of hardship, and finally found her child in a filthy den of iniquity."
"When they found her child, he was already eight, nine, or ten years old. The child, who had never seen the sun for many years, was very handsome and extremely good-looking, but he had already become very bad."
"Like a devilish witch, in her filthy lair, she hid not just one child... no, not just one man, but many, many men. She indulged in pleasure with various men, while little boys watched from the sidelines..."
"The above and so on are censored words, let's skip them!" Jiang Si said, realizing that children shouldn't hear this kind of thing, so she impatiently skipped it and looked into the two children's big eyes, and continued: "The queen recognized her child immediately and wanted to take her child away, but the witch found out."
"The witch took two knives, one for the little boy and one for the queen, and told them that only one of them could live."
"The little boy didn't want to die, and the queen didn't want her child to die either. So, as the little boy stabbed the queen, the queen stabbed herself in return..."
