10 Dependents

If there's one of the saddest professions in this world, it's vampire dependents.

I'm not kidding, if you spend your whole life serving and currying favor with an immortal guy, you just want to finally get the favor of the other person, and get eternal life when you are dying. It's a bad life, and it's so sad that it can't be more pathetic.

"Oh my God!" Old Hank's voice came from the display hall to the backyard, "Are you two hundred years old! I haven't seen anything older than you!" Old Hank shouted at an old man at the gate of Grande without manners, "And what does this smell like!

The people of Grande were sitting in the back porch to cool off. The rain in the dark was not as heavy as during the day, sometimes intense, sometimes languishing repeatedly, and I didn't know when it would really stop.

Zach tilted his head sideways, "Hank, let him in." He's a vampire, not a tramp. ”

"What?" Old Hank's voice rose again, "You're a vampire?!You're the ugliest and oldest vampire I've ever seen!" Old Hank snorted heavily and pulled the thin old man at the door into the room, "Don't touch anything!"

The old man's cloudy eyes showed gratitude, and he bowed tremblingly, and then carefully followed the old Hank, who was not too young, to the backyard. The tattered trouser legs dragged a trail of water on the floor, all the way from the exhibition hall to the reception room, to the office, and finally through the stairwell, and finally saw Zach waiting on the back porch.

The thin old man faced Zach, bent over, ninety degrees. This is the respect that a vampire family has for a vampire, and if Zach doesn't show it, he's going to keep it that way until the world is ruined. At least by the rules. It has to be.

What is dependents? It's the slavery of the vampires, and the most terrible thing is that it's for eternal life, voluntarily.

"I'm Toredo. Zach's face was a little complicated, "You don't have to do that. ”

The old man was still bent over, "I'm a family member of Gangero. All vampires with surnames are my masters. "The voice is as old as his image.

If you look at Zach and still have some fantasies about the vampire species, then it's time to face reality, look at this old man, please put the illusions out.

Zach nodded silently, putting his finger on the other's shoulder, "You can get up." ”

The people of Grande looked at the old man, who was about the same as a dried corpse, and frowned. It was an unexpected visit, and no one dared to speak. The humans of the House of Grande may not be aware of the reason for Toredo's 'betrayal' of the Hidden Alliance. But the aliens who have lived for an unknown amount of time know very well. The slaughter of the vampires of Toredo's entire clan is no small matter.

Alice pulls Louise and everyone leaves the back porch, giving up the place to the vampire.

"Alpha. The old man's gaze did not seem to dare to look directly at Benjamin, who was still sitting on the back porch, and he was a little hesitant about what kind of etiquette he should use.

Benjamin waved his hand to show that he didn't care, but he glanced at Zach and didn't speak.

Zach gestured to the bench on the back porch. "Sit down. ”

"I'll stand still. The old man insisted.

Zach frowned, "Do you have a name?"

“12。 ”

Zach slowly closed his eyes. What was he thinking. How can a vampire's dependents (slaves) have a name, of course, it's just a code name!

“12。 Zach shook his head slightly, deciding not to get bogged down in Toledo's historical legacy, "What about your master?"

12And out of the tattered sackcloth he took out a crumpled letter, and on the ground there was a laughing red seal.

Another pedantic secret alliance rule - Hakka Zun. When a vampire visits other people's territory, he has to make a vow to his owner and get his master's permission as a sign of respect.

Zach reluctantly took the letter, unsealed it, and took out the stationery.

'Former partner. Zachary Torredo:

I, Thomas Gangero, on behalf of five members of my family, have the wish to visit your home, the Grande Funeral House, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock sharp, with your permission. Please let my family bring back your decision.

Thomas Gangero'

Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth and glanced at 12, "Sue your master, since he is Gangaro, he is like a little bit, this kind of boring rules that only humans have, there is no need to get it." ”

"The master said, you are the last Toredo, you, you represent the entire Toledo clan, this is respect. ”

"Huh. Zach laughed suddenly, but his tone was cold, as on a rainy night like this, "Does he want to discuss respect? ”

"The master said that when Toledo launched a new policy in the Hidden Alliance, he didn't think about Gangero and ignored it as always, which was an insult. ”

Zach raised his eyebrows, the other party would actually resist! Obviously, it was not the pathetic vampire family who was equivalent to a slave in front of him who was resisting, but the master behind him.

Zach began to recall the name 'Thomas', trying to remember what kind of guy it was. It's a pity that 12 is right, Toredo's usual ignorance of Gangaro has made the current Zach unable to remember that there was such a person in the secret alliance in the past.

Zach was generalized. Rest assured, our vampires are not going to show weakness. Zach snorted again, in a flirtatious tone, "Do you need to think about Gangaro?" he looked at 12, "You're three hundred years old, I think you're just a family member now, and your master didn't set you free." Gangero's position seems to have become obvious. ”

12's speed of speech was very slow, not calm, but in line with his image slowly, "That's because Toredo lost, and the Hidden Alliance has not changed except that there is no longer a clan of Toredo." Gangaro is also part of the Hidden Alliance, and Gangaro is only following the rules of the Hidden Alliance. ”

Our vampires have been generalized again.

Zach frowned and looked at 12, "According to the rules of the Hidden Alliance, I can lock you up in the cellar and seal you up until I remember to let you out one day." ”

12 bowed, "When I have sent the news to my master, tell me where the cellar is." ”

Zach sighed, this conversation could not continue, glared at the snickering Benjamin, and shook his head, "Okay, you can go back, tell your master, I will wait for him here tomorrow." ”

12 He bowed again, but did not go, but actually walked towards the alpha and handed out another letter.

Benjamin looked at a thin hand standing in front of him, looked at 12's serious face suspiciously, then looked at Zack, took it, and pulled out the letter.

'Alpha:

Even in my dreams, I didn't think that werewolves, who were destined to be enemies, would have a peaceful coexistence with vampires. My grandfather was one of the ancestors who was deceived by Papa Midnight into giving away blood, and on behalf of my deceased ancestors, I regret that you have been burdened with such a fate, and I rejoice in the peace that is now underway. We look forward to meeting you.

With respect to Thomas Gangero. ’

Zach tilted his head sideways, and frowned as he stole through the letter in Benjamin's hand without shame.

Is this a joke? Among human beings, Benjamin's image is likable and popular. Even his own vampires seem to like Benjamin a little more!

It's not fair.

Zach frowned and looked at 12 and snorted coldly, "If Gangaro is so looking forward to meeting Alpha, why don't you come two days earlier, you can also exchange hair colors together in the woods!"

It seems that our vampire Zack also has a break in time, and the taunts at this time are like childish children, complaining meaninglessly in order to get attention. The key is to put pressure on the right 'point'. As for whether this 'point' is a matter of Toledo and the history of the Hidden Alliance, or who is more popular between him and Benjamin, choose one.

The wrinkles on 12's face were no longer expressive, and he seemed to ignore Zack's complaints, bowed slightly to Benjamin, who was smiling with raised eyebrows, and then disappeared from the back porch.

Don't forget, despite being a low-status slave, he's still a vampire. The letter had arrived, and he was going back to inform his master.

The eavesdropping head poked out from the eaves of the back porch, footsteps were heard in the stairwell, and in a few moments, Louise appeared.

The futuristic vampire woman sat next to Zack, her long eyelashes blinking in front of Zack's eyes. She had a lot of questions, starting with, "He, vampire?!"

Zach smiled and nodded.

"Why did he ......?" Louise's eyes flashed with uncertainty.

"Old?" Zach filled in the question.

Louise nodded. Benjamin stretched and stood up and left. Then it's a conversation between couples, and Alpha still has the consciousness of avoidance.

"He's a vampire's dependent. Zach had a sad expression on his face, "Before he became a vampire, when he was still a human, he gave his freedom to his vampire master, and after a lifetime of service, if his master felt that he wanted to continue to enjoy his service, he would give him his own blood, grant him eternal life without freedom, and he became a dependent." ”

Louise picked up Zack's sadness and shook her head. But it wasn't just a sad life that made Louise feel sad, it was the first time she knew that there was such a dehumanizing inheritance in the vampire legacy.

Remember Louise's vampire legacy, a romantic ritual that began with infinite possibilities......

This kind of dependents has been deprived of infinite possibilities, romantic?

"Why is his name 12?" Louise continued, probably trying to deflect the gloomy atmosphere as she blinked and curled the corners of her mouth, "I'm going to call Louise, and I'll take your last name." ”

Zach smiled, "Of course, Louis Grande Torredo. ”

"Do you need Torredo?" Louise laughed, "Grande sounds good." ”

Zach didn't know what was in mind, and raised an eyebrow, "Yes, it has to be." ”

Don't you think it's strange that such a serious letter of willingness would be sent at night, even if the letter is delivered?12 is not capable of acting in the sun, because he is not entitled to the surname of Gangero. (To be continued......)
