Six days later, the county hall of the Duke of Collins.

There are a sea of people, and the river is endless. At the banquet, everyone must wear masks, even the servants must have a uniform mask, which is a clear addition from Ji, because she has a hunch that Victor will come, and there is a terrible premonition related to Louis.

Sitting in the corner of the ballroom, it was easy to tell that the man standing in the middle of the dance floor was her contractual fiancé.

That time in a hospital ward......

"Wait a minute!"

Louis didn't turn around, just tilted his head to one side, waiting for her reply.

"I felt compelled to talk about my property."

Louis accomplished his goal, turned and walked over to her hospital bed, sat down in the seat next to her, and began to talk about the issue: "I've checked, all the Earlshire estates have a special project that is yours, and if you don't have a vampire status, according to our rules, it will all belong to Victor." ”

"Special projects?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you much right now, unless you choose to cooperate."

……

"Can you ask this young lady to do a dance?" She knew who he was, and the blood-red lips were all too familiar to her. Today he wore a blue mask and respectfully issued a gentleman's invitation in front of her. She slowly raised her hand, feeling the familiar but distant coldness, and he took a step first, leading her to dance to the unfast rhythm. Gradually, the feeling of harmony led them to wonder if the melody was dancing with them.

"Do you like banquets?" He began to focus on conversation.

She smiled and replied, "Good wine, beautiful women, and laughter, this is a pleasure that is hard to find in the world, what do you think?" ”

He also smiled back, which seemed to her to be cordial and polite, "I can give you a more wonderful banquet, as long as you like." ”

"If I'm tired of it, what will you do to please me?"

"I'll take you flying, anywhere, Venice, Barcelona, London, Paris, ......" He realized that he was speaking a little hurriedly, so he paused for a moment to clear his mind again, "The world is so big, I don't believe you will get tired of the trip I have prepared for you." ”

She sneered this time, and the laughter was very mean, "I think I must have recognized the wrong person, he never told me this, he never cared about my feelings, he only had nobility, success, and good blood in his eyes." ”

But today he said, "He tried not to be too anxious, otherwise he would lose his manners," he struggled for 97 days, and disappeared for 97 days, and no one bothered him, not even the woman who broke his heart. ”

His words stinged with a wound that pierced her heart as well, "Then why is he coming tonight?" ”

"Because I owe you a true love."

It's as if the chocolate melts in an instant between your fingers, changing its state but not changing its essence.

"After you left, my house was empty, my whole body was completely empty, 97 days, I didn't eat for 17 days in a row," he put her hand on his chest, "My scars are getting worse and worse, and sometimes I almost can't stop bleeding." ”

"No matter how pitiful your tone is, you won't be able to convince me, so you can save it."

He looked at her stubborn eyes, and wanted to cry without tears, because the harm he had done to her made her no longer believe his words, but when he had lied to her, think about it, it seemed like once. "I've only lied to you once."

"Only once?" Again, she let out a contemptuous sneer.

"Obviously you don't think seriously about my words now, then only I will help you remember, the prompt is a fountain." She was tricked and immediately remembered that he had said that he would never fall in love with a woman in his life. He leaned close to her ear and said, "You made me tell this lie." As soon as her ears were hot, she was about to sink into his mire, and the pace gradually lost track of the melody, and he noticed this, so he stopped speaking for a moment.

After a while, the song was over. She immediately turned to leave, but he grabbed her wrist, brought her back to him, and began a second dance. This time, she complied with his wishes, not wanting to attract unnecessary attention.

It was a long time before he leaned into her ear again and said, "Your fiancé has been staring at us from the beginning," and she said calmly, "don't you care?" ”

"He and I are just a contract couple, what do I have to do with him...... "The familiar kiss with greenness, charm and tenderness awakened her memories that had been sealed for thousands of years: invalid blood slave contract, death flyover, victory brooch, devil for three days and two nights...... She had to stop, or she would be abducted by him, but he was the one who stopped first.

He really changed, he was no longer real. What did he experience in 97 days? She looked at him with tears in her eyes.
