The soft morning light poured into the hut and shone on her wistful, childish face. She stretched, rubbed her eyes slightly, and opened her eyes to see the great white shark printed on the ceiling.

Outside there was an even sound of footsteps, followed by a knock on the door. She got up from the bed, walked barefoot to the low dresser, straightened her hair, and trotted open the door.

"Did you sleep well?" He walked in with a tray and a soft smile on his face. Like a considerate husband, he skillfully lifts the contents of the tray onto the small table and arranges them neatly.

"We're about an hour and a half away from the end, and we're going to an isolated Ecaton Manor, the birthplace of our civilization."

"I've heard of it."

……

Endless barren fields bordered by blue skies, clear and calm waters reflecting the lush trees on the shore – all of which make up the estate's unique landscape.

"We're going to get back before dark, even though it's a nice view." They walk side by side on the dry and hard dirt, and when they set foot on the land, they must abide by a convention: to follow a traditional farming life as much as possible, so it is best not to use electronic devices.

"The population density here is very small, and it's basically people who have never gone out, so they have a strong sense of roots."

At the edge of the pond, a woman who was guarding the pumping machine saw them, looked surprised, and asked in a barely recognizable accent, "Where are you?" ”

"We're people from Vampire Island."

"Vampire? Oh, our lord of the manor came from there," the zealous woman pointed in the direction, "and went straight there, and saw a small three-story factory where the lord of the manor worked during the day. ”

"Thank you!" She thanked the woman with joy. But the woman didn't know what it meant, but she nodded reluctantly, turned her head and went on to wash her clothes.

"This is the traditional farming life, where the fruits of their labor are transported to the royal family and the nobility. In order to ensure the quality of agricultural products, the law clearly stipulates that it is forbidden to build factories here, but advanced farming tools can be introduced," he is a discoverer and a tour guide at the same time, "People here are used to drinking animal blood, and they should walk a few kilometers further to the breeding farm and the blood food processing plant, where some of our usual blood food raw materials come from." ”

The high courtyard wall soon came into view, and he said that it was the farm, which was originally without walls, but after an animal plague more than 400 years ago, people realized the need to control the source of blood and food.

"Hello, we're looking for the lord of the manor here."

"The lord of the manor has gone home."

"And where is his house?"

"I just happened to go to the lord of the manor to clear the accounts, so I'll take you with me." Judging from the person's decent dress, it was clear that he should be the butler of the manor owner.

The man took them to the stables to ask for a carriage, and drove all the way to the manor's house. The lord of the manor was settling the accounts with pen and paper at the bedside of his long-ailing wife, when the butler knocked on the door and reported: "Two men from Vampire Island want to see you. ”

The lord of the manor raised his head, just in time to meet Ren Kui, the more he looked, the more wrong he became, and gradually stood up and walked to her. He was very tall, at least 1.9 meters tall, but the first sentence he said was unexpected: "You are from the royal family." ”

She was astonished, stared at him with wide eyes, and did not utter a word.

"So what is the purpose of your visit today?" The lord of the manor drew closer, his blood-red eyes full of hostility, completely catching her off guard.

Qiu stopped at him and explained, "We are just ordinary high school graduates, and we came here to complete a career planning practice class. She's not a member of the royal family, maybe she's just a lot of alike. ”

"I will never forget that despicable face, you must be a descendant of that man, and I also smell the royal breath in you," the lord of the manor looked firmly into her blood-red eyes and spat out six words, "You are not welcome here!" ”

Seeing this, Qiu grabbed her wrist and took her out. However, the unpleasantness did not stop there, and the lord of the manor finally said: "He's a bastard!" ”

She didn't know who "he" was, and what grievances this manor owner had with the royal family.

At night, the stars fill the sky, and a crescent moon is only as wide as a noodle. They lay on the deck with their heads touched, each silent. A breeze blew, and his question came to him: "Will you be from the royal family?" ”
