Absurd Theatre
10 Absurd Theatre
After returning to the castle, Su Liu, who had not had a good rest for three days, simply washed up and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
Although the vampire's strong physical fitness means that he is not as overly dependent on sleep as humans, he was once a human after all, and some habits are like instincts.
The castle is a five-story stone building, divided into a central main building and two wings, east and west. The central main building is mainly used for audiences and office work, the guest rooms are located in the west building, and the east building is Su Liu's private residence.
Originally, Su Liu planned to drive Qi Fengling to live in the west building, but Qi Fengling suggested giving Su Liu some medicine for bruises and injuries. His tone was sincere and his behavior was well-behaved, but what was even more touching was the affection revealed in his eyes.
"What a waste of time," Su Liu said, but she still let it go, so the boyfriend who was still in the probation period came into the house openly.
The wound on Su Liu's jaw that was pinched by the second-generation vampire who went to meet the god of death was actually almost healed. In a half-asleep state, he could still feel Qi Fengling's thumbs on his jaw, gently massaging him, as well as the focused and pure gaze on his face, and the faint herbal fragrance in the air.
Everything is so harmonious.
Until the hand on his face slid down his neck...
He frowned in his sleep and raised his hand to hold down the restless hand, "No."
His voice was soft, with the tenderness of someone who has fallen asleep, but it still contained a warning.
"...disinfection," the owner of those hands explained calmly, and then his scabbed fingers seemed to be wrapped in a wet silk scarf. The slightly cool touch lasted for a long time, so long that his consciousness became hazy again.
In a trance, the wound suddenly sank into a warm and soft pool, like melted snow water seeping into the cracks of a flower.
Someone's breathing seemed to be trembling.
"Stop making trouble," Su Liu murmured, but he was sleeping too soundly at the moment, his lips slightly opened and closed, and the sound did not seem to be transmitted successfully.
"It will heal faster this way," the man said calmly, but his voice was a little wet.
Perhaps the gentle tone was too harmless, he seemed to be convinced, and fell into a deep sleep.
…
When Su Liu woke up, it was still dark.
The scent of flowers mixed with fruit and wood drifted in from the gaps in the fluttering curtains on the wind.
There seemed to be a sticky touch still on her fingertips, and Su Liu raised her fingers and held them in front of her eyes.
The bite marks that had originally scabbed over had completely healed, and the new skin was lightly pink.
It seems that I can still smell the faint, unique vanilla scent on Qi Fengling.
Su Liu looked around. As a vampire, darkness was his comfort zone. He soon found the vampire Alpha lying on the ground an arm's length away from the end of the bed.
Qi Fengling was lying on his side with his head resting on the bath towel folded into a square, facing Su Liu, his left knee slightly curled up, and a corner of his shirt hem lifted up, revealing his abdominal muscles faintly visible.
Is he trying to seduce me?
Su Liu grabbed a thin blanket and threw it on Qi Fengling, just enough to cover up the masculine beauty.
"Aren't you cold?" Su Liu said this deliberately. As expected, he saw the other person's eyelashes tremble violently, and then the body covered by the thin blanket moved slightly.
Still pretending to sleep.
"Qi Fengling," Su Liu moved to the end of the bed, supported her chin with both hands, and looked down at him with lowered eyes.
His steady breathing seemed to signal his slumber, but his Adam's apple swallowed too often. Pulling back his gaze, Su Liu saw his left thumb, resting on a corner of the blanket, unconsciously stroking the fallen down, as if spelling something.
SuLiu.
Su Liu?
Su Liu laughed. He leaned over and gently brushed Qi Fengling's hair with his hands. "Get up. It's time to go meet that giant baby you mentioned."
Qi Fengling bent his body and suddenly opened his eyes.
Clear eyes.
No sleep at all.
"Did you cure it, Miss Snail?" Su Liu stretched out her hand in front of Qi Fengling and asked knowingly.
The wound that was once somewhat useful but has now become a nuisance has healed, which means that new maps are eagerly awaiting his arrival.
"......" Qi Fengling's eyes were a little evasive, as if he was thinking about something about Meng Lang, and a faint blush appeared on his pale face, "It will heal faster this way."
The sound was as thin as a mosquito, and not as unrestrained as before.
"Thank you," Su Liu said without any intention of getting angry. "You've helped me a lot. In that case, let's go."
"Now?" Qi Fengling's tone was a little uncertain. He glanced at Su Liu's fingers with a look of annoyance in his eyes. "Do you really have to go?"
"Well," Su Liu nodded, saying indifferently, "As for an Alpha, the most important thing is purity and understanding, what do you think?"
Qi Fengling was discouraged and lowered his eyes like a little husband. He stood up and helped Su Liu wash up.
Half a quarter of an hour later, they arrived at Earl Bosi's territory.
It is a fertile river valley surrounded by mountains and run through by a broad river. Both sides of the river are fertile farmlands planted with wheat, grapes and roses.
"What a great place," Su Liu couldn't help but sigh. He was now dressed in simple attire, looking no different from a human Omega. "Will Mr. Andri reveal my identity to Count Percy?"
"No," Qi Fengling said affirmatively.
"Oh," Su Liu said with a smile in her eyes, and suddenly changed her mind.
Everything was quiet at night, with only the faint sound of patrolling horses' hooves coming from afar.
As if they had discovered something, the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer, and soon the count's patrol arrived in front of them.
"Humans," the patrol leader on horseback shouted, "you are prohibited from wandering around at night."
"Sir," Su Liu said in a deliberately tender and pitiful voice, "We are from outside the area and don't understand the customs here. I heard that the Earl was willing to take in low-level vampires and their lovers, so we came all the way here to seek refuge."
Unfortunately, these vampires obviously have no mercy on women.
A few young vampires at the end of the team were whispering in voices that humans could not hear.
"Who spread this? Why are there so many rumors?"
"Do you think this place is a weirdo asylum?"
"Are they scammers? How could it be such a coincidence? Just yesterday a couple came, and now another one? How can a vampire have such strong tastes?"
"That's right, it brings shame to our vampire clan."
"Hey! Some low-level vampires are so shameless that they want to catch the earl's eye."
"Quiet," the patrol captain whispered. It seemed as if he had just now glanced sideways, taking a quick look at the bold human Omega. Well, he was good-looking, but human Omegas were only meant to be eaten. No matter how good-looking they were, they were just a nice-looking cake. Whether they were beautiful or ugly didn't matter. "Follow me."
As he spoke, the captain blew the whistle around his neck.
A moment later, a small bat flew closer from not far away.
After landing, it turned into a human form.
A vampire servant.
"Good night, sir! Please take them to see Mr. Andry." The patrol captain said politely.
The servant nodded, then gestured to Su Liu and the others.
The Earl's estate was much larger than the Baron's, and walking there was practically torture. This was a blatant test; after all, vampires wouldn't care about humans.
Trying to test him in this way wasn't exactly hospitable. It seemed like, with the exception of Earl Bosi, none of the vampires in the manor were too welcoming of a self-promoted "actor" like him. Su Liu tired after only a few steps, and simply collapsed onto Qi Fengling, clearly signaling him to wait on him.
"Are you tired? I'll carry you, come up," Qi Fengling seemed to be secretly happy, and even his tone was a little excited.
"I'm a weak human being," Su Liu was already immersed in the role. He lay on Qi Fengling's back, his lips lightly brushing against his ear, like a pretentious Omega, "You have to take good care of me."
"Yes, sir!" Qi Fengling's voice trembled slightly.
Listen, what kind of lewd language is this? The vampire servant leading the way stumbled and muttered, "Even more disgusting than that couple."
Then he quickened his pace.
An hour later, they arrived at the castle gate, having taken a shortcut.
There was no way. What Su Liu thought was a quiet teasing was actually a torture to the vampires' overly sensitive hearing.
It was in this strange atmosphere that Andrei met the elegant and intellectual vampire O again.
Elegant and intellectual?!
How did it suddenly become pretentious?
Mr. Andre wiped his sweat secretly.
What kind of weird character is this?
"Your Highness, you and your... friend," Andri said slowly, following His Royal Highness's hint, "I'm sorry you haven't come to greet me so late at night. Please follow me."
Very good, it seems that Andri will also become a part of Su Liu's play.
Su Liu rested her chin on Qi Fengling's shoulder, her eyes revealing just the right amount of confusion. "Your Highness? What do you mean by Your Highness? Aren't you just an ordinary, low-level vampire? Why does this steward call you Your Highness?"
As she spoke, she gently patted the shoulder of the vampire under her.
A drama is about to unfold in which a human Omega is toyed with by a nobleman disguised as a low-level vampire.
Andri and the vampire servant beside him, who pretended not to exist, lowered their heads at the same time.
Spicy, irritating to the eyes.
"Are you in love with my identity?" Qi Fengling paused for a few seconds and then continued.
"Baby, why would you think that?" Su Liu said affectionately, her acting skills were natural, and she revealed her love for the vampires, which was not pure at the right time. "I just feel that I love you more."
But his co-star didn't seem to catch the scene. After a few seconds of pause, he blushed and said, "Then prove it to me and kiss me."
"......" Su Liu avoided the sight of Andri and the vampire servants and glared at Qi Fengling obscurely, warning him not to add to the drama without permission. However, her tone was still as affected as before. "Hmph, you've concealed something from me, so there will be no reward tonight."
Qi Fengling was disappointed after failing in the attempt and being warned.
"...Your Highness," Andri, who was being used as a backdrop, couldn't help but speak out, "Your Excellency, our two distinguished guests, please move to the central courtyard. The Count is enjoying a new musical there."
"A musical?" Su Liu feigned confusion. "My dear, you told me before that you would compile the story of our acquaintance and love into a book and dedicate it to the Earl, but he was busy appreciating other people's works and seemed to look down on us."
Please, don't torture His Royal Highness like this. He is a pure vampire, how can he withstand it?
Andri stared blankly.
Qi Fengling's forehead was covered with a few strands of sweat, and his breathing was trembling. "If the Earl saw us, I believe he would definitely change his mind."
"Okay," Su Liu pursed her lips artificially, and the hand around Qi Fengling's neck tightened smoothly, hinting at a desire for more materialism. "Then lead the way, Mr. Butler."
"…" Is it really necessary to do this, Your Highness? Andri's mouth was filled with bitterness for no reason.
The journey was smooth and unobstructed. If Su Liu could stop teasing the vampires, Andri believed that the vampire servant behind him would not be so embarrassed that he would cough from time to time due to choking on saliva.
The vampires walked very quickly, and before long, the iconic fountain sculpture in the central courtyard was right in front of them.
It was a statue of a vampire Alpha kneeling on one knee, proposing to a vampire Omega sitting on a wicker chair.
It was the former vampire king and his queen.
On one side of the sculpture group, there is a huge open-air stage.
Count Percy was sitting in the audience watching the show.
The lights here are bright and the music is melodious.
