55. It's almost dark
When her mother found out about doing that kind of thing, Eve felt that she had no face to see Helena.
She hurriedly picked out a dress with the longest collar to cover the tooth marks on her neck, and helplessly opened the hidden door to face Helena, "Mom, what's the matter with you?" ”
Helena looked at her for two seconds, and then directly brushed Eve's hair and collar away, revealing shocking tooth marks, and her heart trembled when she saw it.
"Mommy......" Eve was a little scared.
However, Helena was not angry, she looked at Eve's neck with pity, "Good, let Mandy take you to the next room to rest and apply some medicine, mother has something to say to Duke Allen." ”
Mandy walked up to Eve at Helena's motion, "Your Highness, please come with me here." ”
Eve glanced back at Alan, who had just dressed and was obviously not satisfied with the interruption of the good thing, and exuded a heavy anger all over his body.
"Go ahead, baby. Mom just chatted with him, just for a while. Helena urged gently, she didn't want the bite marks on her daughter's neck to be healed, such a beautiful neck...... It's all ruined and ruined by that bastard boy.
As soon as Eve walked on the front foot, Helena's gentle face could not hold on, and she spoke colder than Alan, "Lord Duke, please come with me, I have something important to say to you." ”
Alan followed Helena through the corridor to a small secluded room, Helena sat down on the main seat, she looked down at Alan below, "Please take a seat." ”
Alan sat in the seat below and had to look up at the condescending Helena. Although he didn't like the queen's arrogant and non-domineering aura, he couldn't help it...... She is Eve's mother.
"I've heard Brandt describe your relationship with Eve in general, and frankly, as Eve's mother, I'm not happy with this marriage, very unhappy." Helena gets straight to the point.
Alan looked up slightly, and his black eyes grabbed Helena like a falcon through the broken hair on his forehead, "I'm very sorry, although you are not satisfied, she must marry me." ”
"Really? Do you think that if you did something to my daughter that only a husband and wife can do, she would have to marry you? His Highness is too confident. Helena curled the corners of her lips coldly, she had the same ice-blue eyes as Eve, and her facial features were somewhat similar, the difference was that she was full of domineering, like an old hen guarding a child, "Why don't we make a bet, tomorrow I will ask His Majesty to issue a decree to choose a husband for Eve, and those who want to marry her can be lined up from the east to the west of the royal capital." ”
Allen's tone was still calm, but there was a terrible black hole around him, "If you really do this, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress my instinct and do something terrible." For example, let those who stand in line evaporate from the land of the royal capital. ”
As a one-man underneath, Helena has rarely been threatened. Her temper is the same as that of Alan, a representative of eating soft rather than hard, and when she heard this, she wanted to kick him out of Gary's border immediately, and she would not be able to come in for the rest of her life. But no...... He was a magician who could subdue Lauren, and she couldn't provoke him lightly.
Helena was a little gentler, "It's not impossible to agree with you to marry her." But you'll have to answer me a few questions. ”
********
After finishing the conversation with Helena, Alan followed the thin smell of blood in the air to find Eve, but the moment he pushed the door, his breathing stopped.
Eve was talking to Lloyd, and so was Mandy. They talked and laughed, and they looked so unpleasant. The gentle smile on Eve's lips made Alan can't help but twist the doorknob off.
"Alan?" Eve heard the sound of something shattering and looked up from the source. When Mandy saw him coming, he got up with Lloyd, "Your Highness, let's take our leave first." ”
The room was lit with candles, and Alan stood against the light, half of his face exposed to the leaping firelight, half of his face hidden in the dark night.
"What did Mom tell you?" Eve wanted to say something to make the atmosphere less rigid, but apparently, she failed.
Eren approached like a leopard step by step, trapping her between herself and the soft sofa, Eve was a little scared, he had recently shown a terrifying gaze like a beast at every turn, making him very uneasy, "Alan, what's wrong with you?" ”
Alan lowered his head, slender fingers sliding down her forehead, from the bridge of her nose to her lips, and finally rubbing her soft chin, her red eyes and Eve's eyes, "Why is he here?" ”
He ...... Did you say Lloyd? Eve stiffened, people have the instinct to flee from danger, Eve subconsciously shrank back, dodging Alan's fingers, "It stands to reason...... He is also a princess knight, so according to the rules, he has to come to my palace every day to watch the night. ”
"But now, you don't need him, do you?" Alan tried to speak in a gentle way, but he really didn't know how to be gentle. So when Eve heard this, she was only creepy, "Don't you believe from the bottom of your heart that I can protect you better than him?" ”
"No, Alan, I believe in you." Eve hurriedly shook her head, "It's just that Lloyd is a knight chosen by his mother, and he has to let his mother open his mouth to let him leave, and it is inconvenient for me to let him go......"
"Really?" Allen's suspicious heart began to examine these words.
"That's it."
"Well, I'll take your word for granted." With a strain of his wrist, Eren easily pressed Eve to the couch, his eyes lit up like candles, "They're all gone, there's plenty of time now, let's pick up where we left off." ”
Crab********
Eve is dressed in a soft white bathrobe and stands barefoot in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Her eyes were slightly glazed, and her long, white fingers were pressed against the glass to look out.
Alan is so weird...... Eve bit her lip as she uneasily smeared on the misty glass of the early morning. From the day she accepted him, he was like a different person, making it impossible for her to adapt.
Why is that?
Eve's blond hair hung down to her waist, as confused as a lost fawn.
"Why are you here?" Eve was stunned, and Alan hugged her from behind, and his head was pressed against Eve's side face. Alan was dressed in the same white bathrobe as herself, and her hands with great strength tightly wrapped around her slender waist, leaving no possibility of escape.
"In the room...... It was a bit hot in the room and I wanted to go out for a walk. Eve looked away a little aggrieved, she didn't like such a 24-hour surveillance day, the same as going to prison, even being in prison was not so uncomfortable.
Alan was a little relieved, he woke up with a large empty piece of bed, which made him go crazy with anxiety, but after calming down, he followed the smell of her blood to find Eve again.
"Don't do that in the future." Alan hugged her tighter, and Eve whimpered a little uncomfortably, "If you want to come out for a walk, you can wake me up, and I'll come out with you." It can be dangerous to go it alone. ”
"I'm afraid I'll disturb you." Eve lowered her head, she just wanted to calm down for a while by herself, sort out what had happened during this time, and figure out how to deal with the relationship. And...... Alan would ask her again every morning when she got up, she was tired today and didn't want it anymore.
"You're not telling the truth." Allen's words were a little colder, "What are you hiding from me?" ”
"It's not...... I just feel like we do that too often. ”
Alan grabbed her hand harder, he was a very insecure person, and in his cognition, it was a manifestation of the desire of lovers to each other. He stared closely at Eve's shadow in the glass, "You don't like to do this with me?" ”
Eve bit her lip and tried to express her thoughts in a tactful way, "Too often, Alan, I...... I'm in a bit of pain and I'm so tired. ”
Alan relaxed his strength, and he remembered what Winnie had said to him, who had followed him all the way. In the process of being bloodlined, he will crave blood as much as all bloods. And there are only so many ways to alleviate "hunger", he doesn't dare to bite Eve, for fear of causing her fear and rejection, so he can only constantly ask for it on his body to relieve the demand for blood. She was so vulnerable, he might have really lost control and hurt her, "I'm sorry...... Eve, I'll try to control myself. ”
Eve is not convinced, and his credit rating is very low right now.
Alan picked her up, "The morning air is a little cold, you've been here long enough, we should go back." If you catch a cold, you will get sick. ”
Although reluctant, Eve did not resist and walked to the room with him in her arms.
Alan only took two steps before he heard Roy push open the door to the room they were in, "Your Highness Eve, so you're here. Lloyd didn't seem to expect Alan to be here, and he was a little surprised, after all, according to the rules, he should live in another palace arranged by His Royal Highness Helena.
But this surprise reached Allen's suspicious heart, and his appearance changed completely. He glanced at Lloyd quietly, "What are you doing here?" ”
"When the palace maid asked His Highness to get up for dinner just now, she found that His Highness was gone. We're worried that something will happen to Your Highness......"
"She's with me, nothing will happen." Alan said to Lloyd, "Alright, you can leave now." ”
"Allen......" Lloyd left without saying anything, no matter what he said, it was all picked by his mother, or Xia Li's cousin. It's a little inappropriate for Alan to talk to him like that. Eve said, "Can you be kind to Lloyd?" ”
