Chapter 16: The Bloodthirsty Alchemist (4)
~~Thank you for the monthly pass that seems to be red and 160131153011460 by book friends~~
The next day she woke up with the sun overhead, but the outside of the castle was still foggy, and she had no interest in digging the castle, and then found one coffin after another in a basement or something, and opened it to prevent her benefactor from falling into an unhappy marriage......
After Sha Hua washed up briefly, he sat up cross-legged, and after a long time, there was a knock on the door, "Miss, are you awake?" The Prince invites you to dinner." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sawa got out of bed and opened the door, and last night the woman came in with a silver tray with clothes and jewelry on it, and served Sawa to get dressed and took her to the living room.
Corsica changed into the jacket and leggings that medieval men usually wore and covered it with a tuxedo that almost reached the floor, kissed the back of her hand politely, greeted her cordially, and the two began to eat.
After eating, Corsica said very politely, "Beautiful lady, my dear father will not return until a month's time, and in this time I hope that you will be a guest here, and that my house will be your house, and if the servants are disrespectful in any way, please tell me, and I will punish them severely."
Sava duly expressed his gratitude, and the boy led her around the castle and beyond, and finally led her to the lounge, where he politely asked her if he had given him the honor to read a history book for her.
Sava knew nothing about medieval etiquette, and did not dare to refuse rashly, and after thanking him, he quietly listened to him read the Homeric Epic, and after about half an hour, he stopped and closed the book, and smiled apologetically, "What a faux pas, I can't let my guests enjoy the pleasure of being surrounded by friends on such a wonderful night, and when my father returns, I will hold a grand party for Miss Sawah, where you will meet many new friends."
I'm not here to make friends with a bunch of vampires......
"Or would you like to read a passage for me?"
The original owner is illiterate at all, although Shahua has also learned a little French in the previous task, but the pronunciation alone is very different, let alone the words, she said that she may not recognize half of it, let her read a paragraph?
"Why don't I play a song for you, Prince?"
She had long seen a keying piano in the lounge, she had studied piano in France for two years, knew a little about the history of the piano, and had played this piano, although there were certain differences with the modern piano, but the basic principles were almost the same, although she was now born by hand, playing a simple and familiar tune should be about the same.
Corsica was very surprised when she heard her say that she wanted to play the piano, commoners would never be able to touch the piano, let alone play it, could she not be a commoner, but a nobleman?
Sha Hua tried the voice first, and played the short, delicate, but soft and touching "To Alice".
After the last note was dropped, Corsica applauded and spoke cheerfully, "The brightness and cheerfulness of the maiden, the fervor of the warrior, all expressed in this short piece, gorgeous and moving, I have never heard such a wonderful performance."
Sha Hua knew that men in this period, especially those from noble families and well-educated men, regarded serving ladies and praising ladies as their lifelong careers, so they didn't pay much attention to what he said about "beauty and nobility", and he didn't care too much about his exaggerated praise at this time.
The two discussed the melody and the feelings expressed in the piece for a while, and Corsica asked her to play it again, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
For the next month, they spent almost every day like this, and of course, Sawa dared to assure him that Corsica would not stay in his room to sleep after they had gone back to their rooms to rest.
In the process of getting along with the two, Corsica behaved impeccably, except for a little curiosity, he was a typical well-behaved aristocratic teenager of good birth and good upbringing.
Sawa didn't know if his father could tell that he wasn't a vampire, and what he would do to her if he did, so he could only secretly increase his weight in Corsica's heart, and use his curiosity to value this trait, often playing him tunes of different styles that he had never heard before, or telling him half-truths and anecdotes.
A month later, in the evening, the castle was lit up, and all the servants stood in line on both sides of the avenue leading into the castle, while Corsica waited at the gate of the castle with Sawa waiting.
Corsica saw that Sawa was a little nervous, and comforted him, "Sawa don't be afraid, Sawa is a very gentle and kind gentleman, and he will never be rude to a beautiful and noble lady, not to mention that you are still my close friend."
Sha Hua exhaled quietly, her hard work this month was not in vain, with Corsica's "close friend", her chances of survival have increased by at least eighty percent.
They didn't have to wait long before a black figure flew up to them like lightning.
He was about thirty-four or five years old, and he had blue eyes like Corsica, handsome and elegant, and he was the father of Corsican, Beaumont.
"Father!"
"Corsica, my dear son," Beaumont hugged him, kissed him on the cheek, and bowed gracefully to Sahua, "this beautiful lady must be the Miss Sahua that Corsican has always spoken to me?" ”
"Sahua, this is my dear father Beaumont Capet, father, this is my close friend Sahua".
Sha Hua reached out and took his outstretched hand, bowing, "Your Royal Highness."
Beaumont kissed the back of her hand, "Miss Sahua, it's an honor to invite you to my house, I hope Corsica doesn't slow you down."
"No, Corsica is a great host, warm and hospitable".
"That's good, beautiful lady, please come in".
Sahua took his outstretched arm, and as he walked inside, Baumont said gently, "Corsica has written to tell me about you, but for now, I can't tell where you come from, and if you don't mind, I may need a little of your blood to judge more accurately."
Shahua had no choice but to nod, asked the servant for a dagger, and put a small cup of blood for Bomon, the moment her blood came out, Bomont and Corsican father and son took a deep breath at the same time, "Such sweet blood is almost comparable to human beings, and the blood origin of the first embrace of you must be very noble."
Sawa, "......"
Well, she was silent.
"Yes, father," said Corsica, "I would have found her because I had smelled her fragrant blood from afar, and then I saw some ugly and lowly Lofele surrounding her, and it was intolerable to behave so rudely towards such a noble and beautiful lady, so I drove them away."
Beaumont nodded appreciatively, "You are doing the right thing, my dear son, it is our pleasure to serve a beautiful and noble lady."
Well, Sawah said he was numb to such conversations.
Beaumont said as he licked Sahua's blood, and then let out an even more exaggerated exclamation, Corsica asked eagerly, "Father, do you already know what race Miss Sahua belongs to?" ”
Beaumont shook his head, "Miss Sahua's bloodline is very noble, it is beyond my limited understanding, her blood tastes more delicious than it smells, so that I can't help but want to taste it again and again, Miss Sahua, I hope you don't mind."
Sawa, "......"
Well, what can she say?
Beaumont slowly tasted the small half of the glass of blood that Sawa had put on him, looking very intoxicated, Sawa could see that Corsica should also want to taste it, but his good upbringing stopped him, well, Sawa said that she had complained about her incompetence.
The next evening, Beaumont and Corsica held a very grand party in the castle to introduce Sahua as a "close friend of Corsica".
Maybe it's really because of her blood because of the "blessing of the corpse king", those vampires are very polite to her, and she is invited to dance during the party, but Corsica has trained her in advance, otherwise she really doesn't know how to refuse the warm and polite invitations of those vampire gentlemen.
The party went on until dawn the next day, Sha Hua went back to her room and slept for a while, and when she got up, she found that the whole castle was as silent as death, as if last night's excitement was just an illusion, she smiled, she was really a little speechless about her "adventure" like this, and continued to practice without mentioning it.
That evening, after the maid had dressed her, Corsica knocked on the door and entered her room, politely saying, "Miss Sahua, I hope yesterday's party did not disappoint you."
"The evening was great, I made several friends, thank you".
"Well, if you want to invite your friends as guests, write to the servants and send them to you, and they will be happy to accompany you," said Corsica, with a smile on her face, "and a young girl like you should be accompanied by a girl of the same age, instead of being in front of me and my father all day long."
Well, it must be admitted that women in the Middle Ages were very happy, even if it was a routine, it sounded very good, and in the twenty-first century, let alone any gentlemanly demeanor, men even wanted women to serve them, and it would be best to worship them.
Shahua silently sighed at the depravity of civilization, and Corsica added, "We have guests visiting tonight, De? Baron Rice, de ? Baron Les was a very respectable gentleman, who served as a marshal of France, fought alongside Joan of Arc, and after the burning of the Saints, he retired to the domains of Marshcule and Tifoyge, close to here, and he adored his father very much, and often came to visit him, hoping that you would not mind him having dinner with us".
The famous Joan of Arc in France, the national heroine of the Hundred Years' War, that must appear in the history books, Sawa knows a little, her comrade-in-arms, or the marshal, must also be highly respected, Sawa naturally won't mind, and a little looking forward to meeting this historical figure.
Corsica bent down and stretched out her arm, and Sahua saluted him and took his arm, Corsica saw that she did not know much about etiquette, and had sent a butler to teach her, and now she had no problem coping with these simple daily etiquette.
Corsica led Sahua to the living room, and the two men who had been sitting at the table stood up, and Beaumont walked quickly to Sahua and took her by the hand to lead her to De? In front of Baron Rice, "Miss Sahua, is this De?" Baron Rice, Baron, this is Miss Sahua".
Morality? Baron Rice kissed the back of Sawah's hand and said gently, "Miss Sawah, it's an honor to meet you."
Although his voice was gentle and polite now, a far cry from the cold and disgust he had at the beginning, Sahua recognized it almost immediately, and slowly raised her head to see the face she would never forget—that perverted baron! And standing behind him was the same Soritu who had shoved a stinky veil into her mouth!
Sha Hua's eyes narrowed slightly, "De? Baron Rice, have I seen you somewhere? ”
Morality? Baron Rice glanced at Sawa when he heard this, and said with a polite smile, "Miss Sawa must have misremembered, if I had the privilege of seeing such a beautiful and noble lady, I would never forget it."
Shahua smiled and didn't speak again, since she was brought back by Corsica, in the past month, she has eaten well and slept well, her hungry thin body quickly plumped up, and even her height has increased a little. Baron Rice, he was so dirty that he couldn't see his appearance, and it had been more than half a year, so it was normal for him not to recognize him, but it didn't matter, she could recognize him.
Wait a minute!
Hero! Alchemist! Murderous boys!
The things in his mind quickly concatened, and Sahua finally remembered that the famous baron was the French marshal of the Hundred Years' War, and that he fought alongside Joan of Arc during the siege of Paris, and that he had demonstrated his military prowess in defeat of the Duke of Bedford the year after Joan of Arc was burned to death by the British. It was not until 1435 that he completely retired.
After Joan of Arc was captured, he was devastated, and retired to the domains of Mashkule and Tifoři, where he studied alchemy. Hoping to discover the secret of alchemy through blood, he tortured more than 300 children to death and was later burned at the stake, which is one of the real-life prototypes of the famous villain "Bluebeard" in Western fairy tales.
And the abused and killed more than 300 young girls, drank their blood, and even filled the bathtub with blood to bathe in order to keep herself forever young and the beautiful Countess of Bathory? Baron Rice!
Such a pervert, she will definitely let him die very rhythmically!
The meal passed happily, and after the meal, Shahua was invited to play a song, and received countless compliments from several men, and a few gossips. Baron Rice offered the two crates of wine he had brought with him as a gift, and said sincerely, "Your Royal Highness, I wonder how you have considered my request?" ”
"Lord Baron, you don't need to doubt the friendship between us, it's just that I already have Corsica, and if I want to have a child for the first time, I need to go through very strict procedures and investigations, and it can't be completed in a short time, I hope you will be patient."
"I'm relieved to have your words, it's not too early, I'll take my leave first, Miss Shahua, I hope we can meet again."
Sha Hua smiled and nodded, "Definitely." (To be continued.) )
