020 A Dance in the Palace
Although the conversation was not pleasant, the progress was swift due to the disparity in strength and the foresight of the plot, and over the next two days, Eric took care of the affairs of the Bloods and Werewolves, and visited an elderly man to get what he wanted.
Pier 17.
After communicating with the venerable elder, Eric left the warship under the unfriendly escort of a group of soldiers, and Selena followed him like a sidekick, not at all as if she had been rejected thousands of miles away in the previous days.
"I can't believe that Alexander is right under our noses, and has built up forces to protect us from human detection, and his blood...... It's amazing. "Just after visiting the common ancestor of the blood clan and the werewolf with Eric, and solving the natural limitations of the blood clan, now Selena can't help but feel excited when she looks at the warm sunlight shining on her body.
"You should not underestimate the love of a father for his children, who has watched over you for centuries and will continue to do so in the future. Of course, now he can relax a little, the troublesome Marcus is still alive, but it has been weakened by the dog's blood, although Victor is dead, Emilia is still there, and there is Michael on the werewolf's side, although he is very immature, but the new balance has been basically established, and with the help of Alexander, there will definitely be a smooth transition. Eric replied calmly, looking like a diplomat in the diplomatic arena.
"How did you convince him, to use silver nitrate bullets like you did with Rucian, or to use your abilities to control his pistol." Selena sarcastically said that the hatred of her family for hundreds of years has been overcome, and the werewolf problem that weighed on her heart has been solved, and she is relieved and a little lost at the same time, and her attitude is inevitably a little abnormal, and she has been fighting with Eric, the culprit who broke her original life, in recent days.
Eric knows her psychology very well, and of course he won't bother with her, and will say a few perfunctory words at will.
"Then how did you know about me, aren't you from another world?"
Selena wasn't so prevaricating, and she persistently pressed Eric.
"Parallel space. You've probably heard of this concept, I've dealt with more than one Selena at various times, some worlds where we're not related, sometimes we'll raise our guns against each other, and occasionally we will work together, but it's rarely as peaceful as it is now, and you don't look like the Selena I know. ”
"What is the other Selena like?"
"In other worlds, the Elders of the Blood Clan are all dead, Lucien and Alexander are finished, you and Michael are walking together, you have a daughter, and then you were captured by humans together, and after many years you escaped, and the rest is not clear."
"Michael, that normal person?" Selena exclaimed, after losing her normal heart, she is now like an underage girl, first surprised by the object she chose, and then realized that her fate was so tragic.
"Not anymore." Eric replied. "Miss, why do you have so many problems, shouldn't you stay at your home to train or hunt werewolves everywhere at this time, in other words, don't you hate me very much, why do you keep following me?"
"I don't regret killing Victor, but how do you make me face my people, I have nowhere to go." Selena is very confused, for hundreds of years she has regarded Victor as her father, respected him, and worshiped him, who knew that it was this father-like devil who killed her family with her own hands and deceived herself for hundreds of years. Victor's death made her lose the focus of her life all at once, even the object of revenge disappeared, and all her persistence became a joke. Not tolerated by the Bloods, having a hatred for werewolves, and unable to live as an ordinary human, Eric, a visitor from another world who is neither a Blood nor a Werewolf, has become the only lifeline she can grasp now.
"I have to go back to my own world after all, how do you want me to arrange you." Eric spread his hands.
"Tell me about your world, how it's different from ours." Selena took the conversation away.
"It's the same Earth, but I live on the other side of the Atlantic, and humans are still the masters of the world, and mutants like me are ostracized. There are also blood clans there, but they are the product of the ancient civilization of Shiyàn, slightly stronger than you, but you are more hidden. ”
"It sounds no different from my world, and it's even worse." Selena raised her eyebrows, trying her best to express her disdain.
Eric saw through her frail nature, but remained silent.
"Yes, so I have to go back and play the role of Alexander of that world to protect my countrymen. The two cousins, Lucien and Crane, will bring two alien species, werewolves and bloods, to my world, and they will gradually enter the human eye in place of mutants. But that's not the point, the point is that the non-human power will continue to grow, and we, as human branches, will have the opportunity to merge into the mainstream of humanity. ”
"Lucien is a calm man, he has a long-term vision, and now with a new infusion of strength, he will be more mature. He will grow out of the sight of humans, and by the time humans show up for him, werewolves may already have the power to protect themselves. ”
"What about Klein? If no one gives him a call, he's just a waste. Selena was dismissive of her former suitor.
"I'll arrange a suitable place for him to go, and he will enjoy the VIP treatment there." Eric smiled coldly, he would not forget who made the wolf king Rucian fail in the original plot, it was this seemingly incompetent Crane.
This is a dog that will regurgitate at any time, and in order not to be dragged down, a certain cage must be suitable for the rest of his life.
The coldness in Eric's smile made Selena's heart jump a few times, and she quickly tried to pull the topic away, but Eric didn't plan to go around in circles with her.
"I know what you're thinking, girl, I'm not going to turn you down, as long as you promise not to get into trouble. Although I don't think this is reliable, because you are impulsive, and very rude, not ladylike at all, you should learn from your friends, Erica is the real woman. ”
"Then you go to Erica." Selena's heart was relieved, and then she said angrily, and after speaking, she saw Eric staring at her, and quickly turned her head away.
"You're rude, but I don't think of you as a man because of that, in fact I think it's part of your charm, it makes you different---- like you're a Bloodline, different. Because it's different, it's something to be proud of. "Eric.
"That's a nice thing to say, but I won't believe it. I never thought that I would lose my master, lose my father in a day, and who else can I trust? Selena sighed, and it was only then that she showed her weakness.
"Can't you survive without a master and a father?" Eric Road. "I can be your father if you want."
His words made Selena laugh: "I'm more than enough to be your grandmother at my age." ”
"It's not about age, it's about whether I'm what you want." Eric said meaningfully, pointing to her heart. "Tell me, what wishes do you have, maybe I can fulfill you."
Aspiration...... The word seems to have been away from Selena for a long time, so long that she almost forgot what her last wish was?
Is it revenge, and what about further?
Selena struggled to think that she had been driven by "orders" and "instructions" for centuries, and had never done anything for herself.
She is like a machine that works day and night, and after a long period of operation, it suddenly stops, and she can no longer find her purpose in life.
"What do I wish for? I'm just a vampire who doesn't even have a home......" Selena laughed at herself.
Eric encouraged her with his eyes, hesitated for a while, and Selena, who was immersed in her memories, said dreamily:
"I want to dance in the Queen's palace...... I remember my father liked to call me little princess, and when I was very young, he used to dance in the hall he designed and built, and he clapped my hands next to me as if I were really a princess at the ball...... Can you? ”
"Why not?" Eric hugged the slender body and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Selena woke up from her memories and was about to struggle, when suddenly her body lightened, and when she looked down again, her feet were already off the ground.
"Well, that's ......," she said, a little frightened.
"Go to the Queen's palace and give my princess her ball." Eric smiled softly.
Selena looked at him in surprise, as if she had seen Eric for the first time on the first day, her cold heart was suddenly touched, and before she knew it, Eric's appearance gradually coincided with someone who had long been blurred in her memory.
The sky over London is a no-fly zone, starting from the airport in the east, covering almost the entire city, without the disturbance of flying planes coming and going, and the air is quiet and peaceful. It was a sunny day, the sky was intoxicatingly blue, and Eric took Selena through the marshmallow-like clouds, flying over the tiny streets and matchbox-like buildings below, stepping over the North Greenwich Stadium on the banks of the River Thames, browsing around the Tower of London and Tower Bridge for a while, and then heading towards Buckingham Palace.
It was noon, and the Changing of the Guard was underway at Buckingham Palace, and to the sound of drums, the new guards marched out of the Wellington Barracks and marched all the way to the square in front of Buckingham Palace, where they were handed over to the old guards. Having lived in London for a long time, Selena had seen such a ritual many times, but it was the first time that she had been suspended high in the sky and looked at the ant-like person below, and she hugged Eric and looked down as hard as she could.
Eric floated slowly, crossed the state hall, came to the place where the royal family lived, and with the help of magnetic vision, came to a rather lively palace, where he was going to have a lively dance party for Selena in front of the world.
By this time they had descended to a very low altitude, and the guards of the palace blew their whistles and hurried in, and before they could arrive, Eric Schran fell into the palace.
"Dear Majesty, I'm sorry to take the liberty of visiting, I don't think you will refuse the idea of a father who wants to temporarily borrow the palace to fulfill his daughter's wishes, right?"
It was a coincidence that a ball was being held in the palace, and an elderly woman who often appeared on television was surrounded by a group of noblewomen, and it was a coincidence that Eric appeared before his feet hit the ground, and he smiled and saluted, in a relaxed but not pleading tone.
Selena has come into contact with many powerful people in the dark world, and has also met with Victor with some human dignitaries, but such a grand entry and exit of the palace is still beyond her imagination, and Eric's unscrupulous unscrupulous makes her mind so confused that she even forgets to care about him calling himself "father".
The Queen's expression was a little curious, but she was kind and dignified, perhaps she had experienced the incident of being broken into the bedroom by ordinary people, and she had a strong tolerance for this kind of thing. In front of the man and woman who fell from the sky, she maintained her demeanor very well, and did not mean to be angry, but waved her hand to stop the guards outside the palace.
Soft music continues to play, and Eric and Selena dance.
Eric's dance steps can only be described as average, but the victory lies in his confident and calm attitude. Selena was a little unable to let go at first, she had long forgotten how to enjoy dancing after hundreds of years of only knowing the battle, not to mention being in front of a group of big people, fortunately, with Eric's guidance, under the watchful eye of the queen and many aristocratic women, she gradually forgot her troubles, her body and mind melted into the rhythm of the music, obediently followed the conductor, and bloomed herself as if no one was around.
At the end of the song, Selena naturally shed tears of joy, and the haze in her heart seemed to be swept away in this dance.
"Confident, elegant, stretched, this is the dance of the aristocracy." The queen and the ladies could not help but applaud, although the dancing skills of both men and women were not very exquisite, but the natural temperament and demeanor made them superior to most dancers in the world.
"Thank you." Selena said slowly, kneeling down on one knee and holding Eric's hand. "My master."
Eric felt a light kiss on his lips, smiled slightly, and then disappeared into the palace in full view.
