Noble Gathering (2)
"Why is this steward so nervous?" Su Liu started to stir up trouble. He cast a contemptuous look at Bosi, "You can't even give orders to a steward, right? You, the Earl..."
"Send these two here immediately," Bosi interrupted Su Liu and shouted at the steward. Bosi enjoyed Su Liu's grumbling in front of him, but that didn't mean he could accept a scolding without hesitation in the presence of other vampires. This would affect his dignity as the owner of the manor.
After giving the order, Percy watched the steward's retreating back and gritted his teeth, almost whispering, "Don't say those words carelessly in front of other vampires. If the king finds out, you will be sentenced for insulting the king."
"Your Majesty, can't you afford to have fun?" Su Liu also replied in a whisper.
"Stop talking," Percy coughed twice. "Your Majesty is not someone you and I can discuss."
"You are so hypocritical," Su Liu glanced at Bosi, as if to say, we were planning to conspire to usurp the throne before, but now you are cowardly again, I look down on you.
"The party is almost here," Bosi explained, unable to handle Su Liu's occasional sarcasm. "If you keep talking nonsense, you might be executed on the spot by His Majesty's scouts."
"Which vampires did you invite to this banquet, and why is His Majesty the King included?" Su Liu took the opportunity to ask.
"It's just a few good vampires getting together to chat, similar to a poetry reading," Bosi answered quickly.
"Then why is His Majesty here?" Su Liu asked, "Is His Majesty also your good friend?"
"His Majesty the King prohibits private gatherings of nobles over three generations apart without his permission, and he will attend all these banquets," Percy explained.
"......" Such a strong desire for control, Su Liu was speechless.
"But I think His Majesty is simply bored and wants to have some fun. This might be his excuse to visit people everywhere," Bosi came over and complained in a low voice.
Only a naive person like you would think that you are just visiting. You have been removed from the center of power and will be used as a scapegoat by them.
"Is this kind of party held here every year? Su Liu asked with some reluctance.
"That's about right," Placi said proudly. "I can't help it. My place has the most beautiful scenery and is also home to many Omega beauties. If they like it, I'll give them a few."
"You're going to give them some too?" Su Liu's voice rose, and then she quickly reacted and pretended to be angry. "You're giving them some, but not me? You're not allowed to give them any. I want all these hundred or so. I've already written down their names. Don't try to fool me."
"Why are you so greedy? You're a human, what do you need all that for?" Bosi said, his eyes blaming him. "You already have a fiancé, yet you're still so unfaithful. Are you taking advantage of my good temper?"
"When I look at them, I can even eat an extra bowl of rice," Su Liu said unreasonably, "This is an elegant spiritual enjoyment. You don't understand me."
When Su Liu said this, Bosi remembered how Su Liu lay in Ji Lian's arms a few days ago when she had low blood sugar. He made a "tsk" sound. He thought it was normal before, but now it suddenly felt too ambiguous.
Su Liu, this hateful Omega, is so shameless.
Is he gay...?
My brother, was he deceived into marriage?
"Don't even think about it," Bosi said with a sullen face, puffing out his cheeks. "We vampires aren't as filthy as you. It's better to stay with us than with you."
"Why am I so dirty?" Su Liu was dissatisfied. "Don't vampires also have an interest in humans?"
"......" Bosi wanted to shout "We high-level vampires don't have that kind of habit", but he suddenly remembered what his good brother, His Royal Highness the Prince, did to Su Liu, those affectionate things, those hugs... He took a breath and was unable to be as righteous as before.
At this moment, Su Liu pointed to her mouth, implying, "He kissed me forcefully, and I had no way to stop him."
"Stop talking about it," Bosi said, his face flushed. He was still a very innocent virgin in this regard. "This kind of thing...you're talking about it, are you shameless?"
"Am I the shameless one?" Su Liu sneered, "Who is the victim? I want to say it, and I want to say it loudly, so that the whole world can see which vampires are so shameless."
"Su Liu," Qi Fengling's voice suddenly sounded from the side, "Why are you here?"
Su Liu glared at Bo Xi, warning him to shut up. His expression changed, and he threw himself forward like a young swallow, grabbing Qi Feng Ling's arm. It was as if the crazy man just now was an illusion. "My dear, why are you here? Didn't you go to pick up His Majesty the King?"
Bosi's eyes widened. This hateful Omega probably didn't like his brother at all and was only trying to please him in order to survive.
Cunning humans, he muttered under his breath, "Damn it."
He didn't know whether he really felt disgusted by Su Liu's change of expression, or was secretly regretful that it wasn't him who was being courted.
"His Majesty will be here soon," Qi Fengling pretended not to hear Su Liu's accusation. "Boxi, you should go now."
"Ah? ...You should go," Bo Xi's eyes were evasive. "In previous years, you were the one who hosted the event. After all, you're his brother, so you're more familiar with him."
"But now, you are the owner of the manor," Qi Fengling is not Andri and will not indulge him.
Bosi struggled with Qi Fengling for a while, but was finally coaxed away by Andri who came hurriedly.
After sending Bo Xi away, Qi Fengling carried Su Liu to the carriage and said, "You can stay in the room during the dinner. I will try to come back early to accompany you."
Su Liu understood the implication of Qi Fengling's words. What he said probably meant that Su Liu's identity was no different from being written on his face to the Ancestral Blood Clan.
"I know," Su Liu put away the affectation she had shown in front of Bosi, her expression gradually becoming serious. "What kind of vampire is your brother?"
"I don't quite understand him, but he's very controlling," Qi Fengling said, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes. "He's not a good person. Don't get close to him."
"He doesn't have any special hobbies, right?" Su Liu keenly caught something.
"He secretly kept a male lover," Qi Fengling continued in Su Liu's shocked eyes, "just like you thought: a vampire Alpha."
"......?" Su Liu didn't know what to say. The male protagonist in the original book was in an AA relationship, so...
"He's a vampire who puts profit above all else. If he knew you were a vampire Omega, he wouldn't care about your wishes," Qi Fengling said with a worried look in his eyes.
"Does he have the same personality as your father?" Su Liu asked in a low voice.
"That's not the case," Qi Fengling didn't want to mention the blood clan king who hadn't said a few words, but although his father looked cold and handsome and unapproachable, he would stay away from others and kneel on the ground to wash his mother's feet in private. He was undoubtedly a wife slave.
But it is also a fact that this Alpha abandoned his mother for sixteen years and never explained the reason until his death.
As they spoke, the carriage passed by the central courtyard. Su Liu opened the window and looked at the kneeling vampire king in the sculpture group.
The sculptor blurred the king's features, so Su Liu couldn't tell what the king looked like from the stone sculpture. However, the blood king looked graceful and elegant even when he was kneeling on one knee. Just by looking at his figure and temperament, one could tell that he was definitely a handsome man.
"Who does your brother look like?" Su Liu asked, "Does he look like you?"
"He doesn't look much like us," Qi Fengling denied.
"...He can't be your father's illegitimate son, right?" Su Liu boldly assumed.
"Impossible," Qi Fengling said with certainty, "The Ancestral Blood Clan can only pass on their inheritance through natural childbirth. Perhaps he won't be able to grow up."
"That's right," Su Liu was convinced by this theory that children don't necessarily inherit their parents' outstanding looks. "If we weren't biological sons, your father wouldn't have given him the throne."
Afterwards, the two vampires chatted for a while, and Qi Fengling sent Su Liu back to the guest room.
When Su Liu pushed open the door and walked in, Ji Lian was arguing with the new arrivals Lu Yao and Su Tao.
"City Lord," Ji Lian was a little at a loss, because the two Omegas in front of her were dressed lightly and behaved frivolously. One of them wanted to take off her clothes and climb onto the bed, and the other came to hug her, which scared her.
"They arrived pretty quickly," Su Liu was very satisfied. The vampires under Bosi didn't dare to openly disobey their master. "Take them to the side room and give them a thorough examination."
Ji Lian didn't understand why, but she went anyway.
Half a minute later, Ji Lian came out with red eyes. From the half-open side door, she could still hear the two people putting on their clothes silently.
"Who did it?" Su Liu sat in the small living room drinking afternoon tea.
"Human Alpha," Ji Lian gritted her teeth, "How could such a dirty thing happen in the Earl's manor?"
"What do you mean?" Su Liu called her over and handed her a cup of tea.
Ji Lian took it with great trepidation, took a sip at Su Liu's suggestion, and continued, "That's what I heard when A Liu and I were still human..."
They were still very young at that time, but they both believed that the other was the only partner for their life. Therefore, when the city held a beauty pageant every three years, Chu Liu risked his life to hide Ji Lian at home.
However, Ji Lian's Omega cousin was not so lucky. He was more handsome than Ji Lian and was caught and forced to participate in the competition while walking on the street. As expected, he was selected.
She never saw him again.
But among the Omegas who were selected with him, there were survivors who escaped.
When the Omega came back, he was already crazy and started yelling when he saw the human Alpha.
"Sometimes, he, an Omega, would jump naked into the river to swim, his expression empty as he shouted into the void, 'Come and chase me, my lord!'" Ji Lian recounted, his eyes gradually revealing fear. "Ali speculated that these Omegas who won the beauty pageant weren't simply sent to the manors of high-ranking vampires to be simple blood slaves. There must be something more sinister going on."
"There are extremely ugly dealings between the vampires and the human elite." Having said this, Ji Lian couldn't go on.
Some things are clear enough without having to be stated explicitly.
"You go down first," Su Liu said. After Ji Lian saluted and turned around, he added worriedly, "Be careful on the road. You'd better stay in the house tonight and don't go anywhere."
"Yes," Ji Lian closed the door and went out.
The afterglow of the setting sun was scattered across the sky, and a beam of it even shone through the window onto Su Liu.
Su Liu propped up her chin and looked out the window, but she caught a glimpse of a vague reflection on the window glass out of the corner of her eye.
"Sir," two neatly dressed Omegas walked towards Su Liu gracefully.
This is different from watching a musical. Su Liu feels that this kind of artistic pace is dazzling at the moment.
They seemed to understand that Su Liu asked them to come over not because of any special hobby, so the two of them tacitly understood each other, one massaging Su Liu's shoulders and the other massaging his legs.
"You two must have served many people together, right?" Su Liu looked out the window without moving, but a faint smile appeared on his face.
The standing Luyao and the kneeling Sutao looked at each other and quickly lowered their heads.
"I have served an Omega." Su Liu said with certainty in a soft voice. It seems that no matter which world's powerful circles, there will be some obscene things.
Hearing this, Luyao stopped pinching and sliding her hand down Su Liu's shoulder.
Su Tao suddenly pulled back her hand that was trying to reach into Su Liu's trouser leg.
"Go on," Su Liu said, "You guys are enjoying my service, why don't you continue? Haven't you shown your true abilities yet?"
Luyao and Sutao both took a few steps back, knelt on the ground, not daring to move, with their heads lowered.
"Sutao, you say it? Stand up." Su Liu felt really uncomfortable seeing him kneeling so straight.
Su Tao didn't move.
"If he doesn't say it, then you say it," Su Liu looked at Lu Yao.
Luyao's slender waist trembled slightly, and her voice was also trembling, "Sir, we... did not mean to offend, it's... it's..."
"You're used to it, aren't you?" Su Liu answered for her. "Every time I call you over, it's to make you do this kind of thing, right? After a long time, even if you don't want to, your body will do it subconsciously."
Luyao sobbed softly.
"When is this time?" Su Liu asked.
Lu Yao said with tears in her eyes, "Last night, the steward brought a distinguished guest, the Alpha son of a powerful human from the neighboring city. Before becoming vampires, they would always find blood slaves from high-ranking vampire manors to have sex with, saying that we are clean and good-looking..."
Su Tao whispered to Lu Yao not to say anything more, that the Omegas among the human elite were not good people either, and that she should not be deceived by the illusion and tell everything.
Then he would be teased as well.
The voice was very soft, so soft that if Su Liuruo were a human, he would not be able to hear it clearly, but he was a vampire.
Su Liu reached out and lifted Su Tao's chin. "What are you talking about? Speak louder."
Su Tao shut up immediately.
"You didn't say anything when I asked you to, and you started talking too much when I didn't ask you." Su Liu chuckled, her voice revealing the indifference of a superior. "You haven't learned the rules yet."
"Stand up." Su Liu said again.
Su Tao could no longer pretend not to hear. He stood up with his head lowered, fear of Su Liu in his eyes.
"Stand up too," Su Liu glanced at Lu Yao again, "Pour the tea."
Su Liu sat down again and instructed Su Tao, "Push your shoulders, continue."
This time, Sutao's movements were no longer full of hints. His technique was a little heavier than Luyao's, but also very professional.
After it got dark, the bell rang outside the door on time, and the vampire servants pushed the dining cart over.
"Sir," the fourth-generation vampire Beta who looked after Su Liu on a daily basis, lowered his head and set the tableware, then retreated neatly. He seemed to have become accustomed to the earl and prince's special treatment of this human being. He could not understand it, but did not dare to overstep the line.
"Eat," Su Liu glanced at the door that had closed again and gestured to Luyao and Sutao.
Su Liu's eyes were condescending, as if he was rewarding some random person. His psychological control was just right, so that Lu Yao and Su Tao would not think that he was a good person, but there was a faint light in his eyes that was different from other nobles.
"Yes," the two responded.
Su Liu had no habit of watching others eat. He came to the window and sipped tea in the moonlight.
