88.7.11, proud and cold white lotus
During this time, the relationship between Eland and Lance can be said to be heating up rapidly, one has long been devoted to each other, and the other has gradually opened his heart, and his heart is naturally very compatible.
As for the physical ......
Ahem, looking at the run-in between the two of them every night, it should be pretty good, right......
Anyway, all in all, the relationship between the two people is getting better and better, and life is becoming more and more harmonious, although they haven't even known each other for half a year, but they have already reached the life of an old husband and an old man, and now the only difference is a wedding.
And this is also what Lance is most dissatisfied with!
Obviously, the two of them have the same heart, and what should be done and what should not be done have been done, why is his dear and dear still unwilling to marry him?
"Honey~" Don't doubt that this wavy voice came from Lance's mouth!
"Something?" has thoroughly understood the essence of the other party's inch, and for any move by Lance, Ailand will take a cold treatment, otherwise when he reacts, he will be the one who suffers.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. Seeing that Ailand looked businesslike, what he wanted to say didn't know how to say it at this moment, so he could only retract it in recognition and quietly hold the person in his arms.
"Are you okay if you don't go back to church?" Now that he is pestered by Lance every day, Ailand, who has always been good and has nothing to say, feels a little scared, and calculates in his heart how to send this person away.
"It's okay, I'm just a symbol for the church, and as long as I live, it won't have any impact on the church." Lance's voice was a little lazy, he had become accustomed to his company during the time he had been by Ailand's side, how could he want to go back to the church without him.
"Huh?" This answer surprised Elander, "Didn't they say that you are the most likely person to become a cardinal?" ”
Lance shook his head, he didn't expect that in the eyes of the world, he would be a candidate for cardinal.
"Isn't it?" With this Lance's identity, strength, and prestige, no matter what, he can hold the position of cardinal.
"Of course not." Lance shook his head again, he understood what Eland was thinking.
It is true that with those he was able to become a cardinal, but he lacked something very important.
"Why?"
"Because I have less loyalty to the Church," this is why the Church will never let him become a cardinal, "I told you that I am not an adopted child of the Church, so the Church has not succeeded in brainwashing me into a devout believer who has only the Church and only God, and the Church naturally does not dare to give me such an important position, you know, the Cardinal is only one step away from the Pope." ”
Ailand nodded thoughtfully, and more or less understood the reason in his heart.
What kind of danger is of the chess pieces that are in a high position but are not controlled, Ailand understands very well, so now he also understands that the sentence in Lance's mouth is of course not, where it comes from.
"So, my dear, don't worry, I have no problem marrying you at all." Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lance said what he wanted to say the most, and his heart was extremely satisfied, and what a happy thing it would be to be able to marry his beloved.
Elander: Hehe, he knew that this bastard would definitely take this opportunity to mention marriage!
"Lance, don't you think two men are married...... Feeling weird, doesn't it? "Same-sex love is a felony in the church, so no one has ever dared to have a same-sex wedding.
"No, because that person is you." Lance used to be a priest, so what Ailand understood, he naturally understood, but he didn't care at all, it was only the God of the brainwashed people in the church, not his.
Why should he grieve himself for a god he didn't believe in?
"My dear, do you want to say that the Bloods now believe in God as well?" Holding the person in his arms, Lance rubbed his face gently, with his characteristic gentleness, "I just want to be with you, if you don't want to get married, I won't force you." ”
It's just that...... It's just a pity.
Ailand did not respond to Lance's words, there are some things he should think about carefully, and only after careful consideration can he make the most correct choice.
He and Lance's identity is too allergic. If you get married rashly, it is an excuse for the church to attack.
He didn't care about those things, and he didn't care if there would be a war, the only thing he cared about was whether it would affect his peaceful life, he wouldn't care about these things before Lance, but now that he finally had someone by his side, how could he be willing to be disturbed.
…………
On this day, people who had not been seen for a long time reappeared in Fort Collins.
"Dorun, what's wrong?" Because the relationship between Lance and Ailand is now known to almost all the blood clans, in the hearts of the blood clan, this priest, or the former priest, is already his own person, so everyone will no longer choose to avoid Lance when talking about any topic.
"Well, Salman is gone." Speaking of this, Duolun felt extremely annoyed.
Although Salman has no skills and a likable personality, because he has lived in Fort Collins for a while, his identity has become sensitive. Feeling it, he is a time bomb for the Bloodline.
There will definitely be some nails between the church and the bloodline, but those people will never be able to appear in the open, and even if those people really investigate something, they must solve it behind their backs, and they can't go to each other's troubles with great fanfare.
But now Salman's existence has upset this balance, especially when Salman has that kind of mind for His Highness, and it becomes even more dangerous as soon as he qiē.
So, from the very beginning, he sent someone to spy on Salman, hoping that he wouldn't do something that he would only do when he was not in his right mind.
Originally, Salman was very well-behaved and didn't cause trouble in the early days, and he didn't even leave the Harran royal family for a long time, so Duolun's subordinates were a little lax, but what people didn't expect was that it was this inconspicuous laxity that caused trouble at this time.
Salman is gone!
"Gone? How is it missing? Was he taken away, or did he leave on his own? Although Doron is anxious now, Aland is not too nervous, and the only thing Salman can threaten him now is the relationship between Lance and him.
As long as the two of them don't care, what weight does Salman have in his hands?
Does he want to cause a war between light and darkness?
Of course, this is not impossible, but it is not very realistic to implement, after all, if the war had broken out so easily, it would not have lasted until now.
In fact, neither the Church nor the Bloods are willing to wage a large-scale war, because once the war starts, then both sides will consume their combat power.
"I should have left by myself, Your Highness, I'm afraid Salman will go to the church to tell the truth." This is what Duolun is worried about, if the church knows about Father Broad, then the other party will have a reason to take action against the Bloodline.
"Even if you really go to the whistleblower, it won't change anything, Duolun, you should understand that the last war is only a hundred years away from now, and both the blood clan and the church are in the stage of recuperation, if the Pope doesn't want to make things out of control, he will definitely not take the initiative now, he will only let me go alone."
The Pope is the ruler of the whole Church, and it is the spiritual leader of the Church, and if the Pope dies suddenly, then the whole Church will be in turmoil; In the same way, Elander's position in the Bloodline is also very important, and he will inevitably appear in every war.
It can be said that if the Blood Clan loses Ailand, perhaps there will not be much loss in combat effectiveness, but it will cause irreparable damage in morale.
Therefore, for the church, getting rid of the Eland is more important than a war, and it is also cost-effective.
"How long has Salman been gone now, can you find it?" Although it is not a big problem for them to find it, it is the best to find it and save the hassle.
"I don't know for the time being, I will try my best to send someone to find it, Your Highness, please be careful in the future, it is best not to get too close to the people who see the church." Now Duolun doesn't know what the situation is, so he has to put it up.
Originally, because His Highness was able to walk in the sun, coupled with the reputation of the Cumberland family, the church would not have thought that His Highness was the head of the Cumberland family, but now Salman has become an unstable factor.
"Well, I'll be careful, if the church really knows, then let's go to war!" Shaking back the hand of the man who was holding his hand for fear of being "abandoned" by himself, Elander told Sù Doron directly.
For so many years, he didn't care about life and death, maybe death was a relief for him in endless loneliness, but after meeting Lance, he was not so willing to let this life end so soon.
At least he wants to be able to spend more time with him, a little longer, a little longer.
"Yes, Your Highness, I see." After answering this, Duolun saluted Elander, and then glanced at Lance with a somewhat vague gaze.
He knew that His Highness had never cared about his life and death before, and now, His Highness's transformation should be because of this person, which is really a good thing for him and for the entire blood clan.
Now Duolun sincerely feels that they did not stop His Highness from being with Father Broad in the first place, and this decision is simply too correct!
When Duolun left, the two of them did not speak, but embraced each other quietly, and the room was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
"Honey, someone else left me alone." Finally, Lance couldn't hold back first, his voice was a little aggrieved, a little pitiful, like a puppy about to be abandoned by his master, pitifully begging his master not to abandon him.
Erland did not answer, but turned around, pushed the man down on the couch, and kissed him hard, since words could not remove his uneasiness now, then tell him with his actions, and he would never leave him alone.
In the rest of his life, Lance and Ailand stuck together every day, and he was a little unaccustomed to this kind of life, but every time he saw Lance's pitiful face, he couldn't help but soften his heart, and in the end he was taken advantage of by the people who got an inch.
In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that there was not much time left to let them get along like this, and more than half a month had passed, and Salman still hadn't been found, although they comforted themselves in their hearts that Salman must have been hiding.
But they understand that it is more likely that Salman is being hidden by the church, and that Salman will not be brought to the people until they make a move.
Sure enough, one day a week later, John heard rumors from outside that the Cumberland family was not a noble family, but a vampire family, and the patriarch of the Cumberland family had abducted Father Broad.
When Eland heard such rumors, he had a natural feeling, as if the second shoe had finally fallen to the ground, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and a feeling of "ah, it was so".
In fact, he had guessed that there would be such a day since Salman disappeared, but to his surprise, the church had waited so long to start spreading these rumors, he had thought that the church would spread the news after learning that Lance was with him.
Of course, the church wanted to do that, but before spreading the rumors, they approached Lance in the hope that he would return to the church and fight the vampires together.
Lance's reputation has given him a great reputation among the common people, and if it is known that Lance betrayed the church for the sake of a vampire, then endless ridicule awaits the church.
It is a great shame for the Church to be abducted by a clergyman, a priest, a future cardinal, to be abducted by a vampire, and even fall in love with a vampire, and that vampire is still a man.
Of course, people in the Church know that he is not a choice for cardinal, but the people do not.
So even if you are unwilling in your heart, you still want to calm things down.
It's a pity that Lance has already decided that Ailand, how can he abandon his true faith because of a god he never believes, so when those people came to him, he directly refused, and never went to see anyone from the church again.
At this time, the people of the church have already understood that no matter what Lance does, he will not return to the church, and since he is doomed to lose face, then they still need to hide what to do.
So the rumors spread, and even everyone knew that everyone was full of hatred for Elander, and they thought that it was Eland who seduced the priest they admired, so the priest would fall. Fall.
The anger of the crowd did not affect Elander, and even made him calculate with great interest when the wedding would be held, and how to directly anger those people.
That's right, when Eland found out that the news of him and Lance had spread, he began to calculate when the wedding would be the most appropriate.
Didn't the people of the church want to use this opportunity to attack him, then he gave them a good chance, but whether this opportunity would bring the church into disrepute had nothing to do with him.
"Are we really going to have a wedding?" Although this has always been what Lance has been looking forward to, when the wish comes true, Lance still has an indescribable sense of unreality.
"I can ...... if I don't want to"
"No, of course I do!" How could he not be willing, this qiē was what he had been asking for, and now it was finally going to be realized, how could he miss this opportunity.
There was no concealment at all about Elander's preparations for the wedding, no, it should not be said that there was no concealment, it was simply fanfare, and he almost sent an invitation to the church to invite them to his wedding with Lance.
Now Ailand is completely in a posture that wants to kill people.
As for Reims...... Hehe, he only needs to raise his hands and feet to support what his lover decides!
Therefore, under the operation of these two people, the original abuse of Ailand has been reduced a lot, especially on the eve of the wedding, Lance's "affectionate confession" makes everyone understand that these two people really love each other.
And what made them angry was that the person who was the most suitable to become a cardinal in their hearts was not in the Church's consideration from the beginning.
For a time, the people became angry and began to question the church.
"Damn, damn it, damn it!" Knowing Lance's words, the Pope was already angry and wanted to rush directly into Fort Collins to kill people, if it weren't for the fact that he still had a little bit of sanity now, people would have rushed out a long time ago.
"Your Excellency, please calm your anger, you are not without a chance to turn the tables, at this wedding, as long as you can capture the second generation of vampires alive, then your position will never be shaken." The young man on the side whispered persuasion, although he also had a lot of disdain in his heart for this pope, but this person could not step back from the position of the pope.
"Shut up, Salman, if it weren't for those ideas of yours, how could the church be in such a situation now!" Looking at the beautiful young man around him, the Pope had no mood of appreciation at all, only disgust for him.
He didn't make a big deal out of it at first, it wasn't the first time he had come into contact with the dark Ones, and it was a good thing for him that they had kidnapped Lance Broad.
Because the man's prestige is so high, even among the people Lance has been regarded as his successor, and he does not want to step down from this position for the time being.
So the second-generation vampire's actions were exactly what he wanted, and he should not know about this time, so as to maintain the balance with the dark world.
At the very beginning, he discovered the concession of the dark world, and it was because of this that his heart was big, especially when Salman appeared at his side, and he found that he had witnesses, and he could use the power of public opinion to force Lance to step down from his position.
If you can get rid of that second-generation vampire by the way, the light forces will definitely have an absolute advantage in future wars!
He waited for more than a month to make a move, just to kill Lance Brod with dirty water that couldn't be washed off, and then get rid of the vampire......
Then he will be the greatest pope!
But what he didn't expect was that Lance Brod would say such a thing at that time, and even tell all the secrets of the church.
Sure enough, a white-eyed wolf that can't be raised is a white-eyed wolf that can't be raised!
Hate! If he knew he would do this, he shouldn't have let this person join the church in the first place.
"Your Excellency, it's not right for you to say that, as a Pope, you can't control a priest?" In Salman's mind, the Pope is the person who can speak everything in the church, can Lance Broder, as a priest, not listen to the words of the Pope?
Indeed, if Lance is still a priest, of course he can't help but listen, but now Lance has abandoned his identity as a priest, he just wants to stay by Ailand's side, and the other qiē has nothing to do with him.
"Your Excellency the Pope, the Cumberland family has sent an invitation, do you ......" Looking at the red invitation handed by the deacon, the Pope wanted to tear it up directly, but now he couldn't afford to lose that person.
"Very well, since they invited us, how could we not go!" The Pope decided to attend the wedding in a week's time, and he wanted to see if the wedding could be held smoothly with his participation!
On wedding day, Fort Collins was bustling with activity, as the castle, rarely disturbed by the forest, opened its doors for the first time to welcome guests.
And the Pope entered Fort Collins with the clergy in a grand way to congratulate the couple.
Walking into the door and seeing the two people in tuxedos, the Pope was in a trance for a moment, and he even felt that these two people were very compatible, and they seemed to be born together.
But the next moment he dispelled this thought, you know, same-sex love is absolutely not allowed by God, these two people are sinners!
"Long time no see, Your Excellency." Seeing the arrival of the Pope, Ailand went out to greet him, full of politeness, but there was a kind of arrogance in this politeness, which made it impossible to look down on him.
In this light, the Pope and his entourage suffered a small loss.
"Long time no see, sir." Because he returned to the Harran Empire, Salman is now the proud, indifferent, and high-minded Prince once again.
"Long time no see." He nodded casually at Salman, obviously not having the same respect for this man as he did when he faced the Pope.
But those present know that with the identity of two people, they can't find any fault at this time, one of these two people is the lord of light, and the other is the king of darkness, except for each other, who can make each other bow their heads?
Salman was very dissatisfied with Elander's attitude, but he didn't say anything, but bowed respectfully, and then turned to look at Lance who was standing aside, "Long time no see, Father Broder." ”
As soon as these words came out, many people present began to whisper, although everyone has heard about the two people who got married today, but few people take it seriously, the priest and the blood clan are married? Is there anything more ridiculous in this world?
However, now Salman's words make everyone have to face up to this fact, this man is really a priest!
