59. Do you think I'm a "loyal" marquise? (14)
After that conversation, Kael began to send blood bags to Louis every day, and I don't know if it was to deliberately mock Louis, and Louis chose to go on a hunger strike and refused to suck blood bags. That day, Kael's words hit Louis hard, and he was a little slumped, and every day he just stared blankly at the cell door, not speaking or moving.
The way he looks makes people wonder if he doesn't want to live, but if he dies, Melissa will die, so it shouldn't be possible. Hearing Louis's report from his subordinates, Kael was disdainful, he really didn't know what Christina liked about Louis, and he had no ability to bear it and no way to deal with the setbacks.
Melissa estimated that Louis had reached the unbearable weight of life, and was ready to get up to save him, to be honest, she was really a little reluctant to give up this cool vacation life.
Melissa, who had recovered her abilities, dealt with all the dungeon guards with great ease, and did not attract Kael's attention. When she stood outside Louis's door, she couldn't believe that the person inside was as pale as paper, shriveled like a person, it was Louis, the handsome male protagonist in this world, Louis's state reminded Melissa of the humiliation she suffered at the beginning, even if it was not her body, it was something she had really experienced, and for a moment, she really didn't want to go in to save Louis.
Melissa blinked twice to calm down, but she still couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, she opened the door and knocked Louis unconscious, Louis immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Looking at Louis who was lying on the ground, Melissa smiled disdainfully at the corner of her mouth, and then grabbed Louis and disappeared.
When Louis woke up again, his mind was a little foggy, and he couldn't figure out where he was. The simple European-style room, the washed white clothes, the tired body, the small one needs two people to hug before they can sleep under the bed. Louis sat blankly on the bed, unfocused.
Suddenly, a head popped up, tied high balls, Melissa's little face was full of smiles, and there was even an apron around her body, she finished with a smile, and stuffed her head back again.
"Louis, you're awake, come out for dinner."
Louis couldn't believe his eyes, the memories he had buried in his heart for so many years quietly revived, he couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality, and he couldn't remember what he was supposed to be in now.
He stumbled out of bed half-asleep, and found that even the slippers on his feet were the same as the original pair - a little rabbit that fell to the ground, because it was so similar to Melissa, that even though it was expensive and required 10 dollars, he gritted his teeth and bought it.
Unlike those wealthy children from well-off families, he and Melissa came from ordinary families, and his outstanding oil painting skills not only won him the opportunity to go abroad, but also won him a good scholarship, and Melissa also went abroad as a companion. However, the scholarship is enough for one person, and it is a bit reluctant for two people.
So on weekdays, he goes to school, and Melissa doesn't have any extra money to go out to spend, so she stays at home all day cleaning and cooking, and then just waits for him to get out of school. Although they are not very rich materially, the life of the two is really full and warm.
How many years? Decade? A hundred years? Three hundred years? He had never seen Melissa smile like a flower again, and a flower could bloom when he looked at him.
Louis walked out of the room almost with red eyes and made it to the table, but then he was quickly pulled back to reality, because their meal was sacks of blood. Melissa looked at him with her chin in her hands and ignorant eyes as if she hadn't seen the blood bag, and he suddenly felt the urge to burst into tears.
Melissa ...... he hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"What do you think, drink quickly, I see that you haven't eaten for many days, and your whole thin person doesn't look good at all." As if knowing what he was thinking, Melissa quickly spoke, and the tone of his voice was the concern he longed for the most.
Thinking of his body, he didn't want Melissa to worry, he immediately lowered his head, quickly inserted the blood bag into the habit, and sucked it. After sucking the first mouthful of blood, Louis felt his body slowly rise up like a balloon, and his shriveled skin was plumped up again, glowing with a healthy glow, although his complexion was still white and transparent.
Melissa giggled as if she had been pleased, and Louis felt his face heat a little as he was being pleased.
After eating and drinking, Louis still planned to ask Melissa about the matter, but Melissa seemed to know what he was going to say, and sat down on the sofa, looking like she knew everything and answered everything.
"Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
"Uh...... Melissa, where are we? And, why is the decoration in this house ...... And why are you dressed up like this......"
"Well, this is a small border city, Fog City, far, far away from the center of power. I bought the house when I first became a vampire, and it took me a long time to dress it up, and now it's the same as we were back then, even with a pair of shoes, an apron, and books on the shelves. So as soon as I brought you into this house, I changed you and I into the clothes we used to wear. You know, times have changed quickly, hundreds of years have passed, and it's not easy for me to find the exact same. ”
As she spoke, Melissa looked at him with a smile again, her face full of the words "praise me", Louis couldn't help but laugh, and Melissa continued.
"I regained my memories after about a week, and then I managed to escape, and I was going to look for you at the palace and ask why you didn't come to pick me up when the time came. As a result, I found that my house was guarded by a lot of people, and the guards of the palace had changed their unfamiliar faces, and sure enough, I investigated and found that the current king was Kael, and you were locked up by him. ”
"I won't say how I got you out, but you've been rescued now. Now you have two options in front of you. ”
"Which two options?" Louis suddenly became nervous, he was afraid that Melissa would say something that he couldn't accept, and he would realize that it was just a dream.
"The first option is that both of us have lost our abilities and are now about the same as ordinary people, so we just stay here and live as ordinary people, as before. The second option is that if you are not willing to be defeated by Kael, you can choose to go back to Kyoto for revenge, but this time, I will not accompany you back. Melissa was mindful when she said that she didn't make a permanent commitment.
"So that's it, I'll pick one." The boulder in Louis's heart fell to the ground, and he made a choice with little hesitation.
"Are you sure?" Melissa looked at Louis with a serious look, and Louis couldn't help but sit upright.
"I'm sure."
"Oh~" Melissa's tongue slid in her mouth, "Then I'll take it seriously~ You have a very urgent matter to do right now~"
“?”
"Sleep! It's daytime, I'm already tired, and I'm going to die if I talk to you for such a long time. Melissa said with a hint of coquettishness.
"Oh? Go to bed? "Louis has adapted so well to his current status that he can already joke.
"Well, what, it's pure sleep! The bed is not big, don't squeeze me! ”
"Poof." Louis laughed, but was glared at by Melissa, and he immediately put away his smile again, serious, "Eun, yes, pure sleep." ”
"Hmph~"
Looking at Melissa's squeamish face, Louis really felt that maybe, like this, it would not be bad, those regrets that they didn't finish when they were human beings, they can finish it now.
There was a faint warmth in the air, giving Louis the illusion of eternity.
