Chapter 11: Fear
In Roland's hand was a copy of the daily Camarilla newspaper with a striking headline on the cover, Lorenzo Decelli at the wedding of his brother, Duke Rusfan.
Yesterday, Duke Rusfan of the Decelli family of the Van Clan married Polina, the second daughter of the Prince of the Maikavi clan, becoming the most solemn wedding in the blood world after the wedding of the leader of the Demon Party, Eliad, and his wife Vera, Duke Lorenzo de Celli had never appeared in the blood world before, and yesterday's wedding should be the first time to appear in public......
Roland didn't bother to look at these boring things, but he glanced at a photo next to him, Lorenzo dressed in black and toasting.
Roland was instantly shocked into a cold sweat, the chilling man in the alley that day was Lorenzo Decelli, no wonder such a strong figure could not be recognized, that Mo Luo Bacheng was there for him, no wonder he had been looking for half a month but there was no clue at all, and the Xitai killers all over the city couldn't find it, so it made sense. It's just that things are getting extremely tricky now, because this Lorenzo is an extremely difficult character, not only holding control of the secret world, but also playing a pivotal role in the secret party, even if he is an illegitimate child.
"Why, why do you have this expression." The woman behind him wrapped her arms around his waist, her voice tactful and faintly sharp, "Your expression makes me feel as if something big has happened." ”
"It's starting to get interesting."
"I like to be funny." Adler whispered, his eyes already catching a glimpse of the newspaper in his hand.
"Well, that famous bastard of Camarilla, yesterday my men said that he was with Prince Bruch's daughter at the banquet after the wedding yesterday, and the secret party is not peaceful."
"Oh? There is such a thing. ”
"It's not very normal, Rusfan took a straw bag and married a quarter of the McKawi people, and it is only fitting that this Lorenzo has a backer for Bruch."
"Do you have any news from Moro over there?"
"I suspect that this little slut has evaporated from the world, and I have even looked for the demon party."
Morrow fell into a deep sleep, frowning, biting her lower lip, he gently smoothed her frowning brow, and freed her lower lip from her fangs, his hand stroking her hair, and said softly, "You're having nightmares again." "All her alienation and indifference are because she is afraid, of a child who is as insecure as herself.
She curled up, her brow furrowed, her nails digging into her shoulders, her whole body trembling.
"Father...... No...... My lord...... The subordinates knew that they were wrong...... Yes...... The subordinates know that they are wrong......"
"It hurts...... Mother save me. ”
"Don't hit me...... I didn't do anything wrong. ”
"My subordinates are born for your daughter, and I don't know if it's a blessing...... Or is it a curse...... Why do you ...... So...... Hate me? You kill me, give me a relief, don't ...... again Torture me again......"
"Don't, don't send me to Bloody ......"
"The subordinates just slept...... Why do you ...... Can't let me go? ”
"Wake up, Morrow."
"Huh?" She let go of her clenched fist.
"Nightmares again?"
“…… Well. Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
Lorenzo hugged her tightly, "I'll sleep with you in my arms." ”
"I ...... Don't want to sleep. ”
"Afraid of nightmares?"
"I'm afraid to dream of Eliad."
"Wait a minute, I'll get you some blood."
"Don't go." She grabbed the corner of his coat, her eyes almost pleading, "Please...... Stay with me for a while. ”
He took her shoulders and grabbed her hand, "Okay, I'm not leaving." ”
She leaned against him, reassured a little, and closed her eyes slightly, but it was full of blood from Eliade's fingers in the blood mirror, and her mother was lying in a pool of blood.
"I lost my mother when I was seven years old, I searched for her desperately, searched every room in the palace of Ales, and at last Eliad dragged me into the blood prison and hung me on a shelf, the whip came down and told me that I had no mother, the whip hooked my face, then I didn't understand why, until today I finally understand...... Because what they say is true...... Because it was really Eliad who killed my mother with his own hands. ”
He clasped her shoulders and pressed his chin against her head and whispered, "Morro...... Trust me, something must have gone wrong. ”
"How could it be...... Magic Mirror is so good at lying...... After the age of seven, Eliad treated me very harshly, I often had to kneel, I was beaten, I had to train, I had to learn etiquette, I had to learn a lot of things, I had to learn a lot of things I didn't like, I was tired and painful every day, I could train without sleep for a few days, I could also study without sleeping, because I wanted Eliad to be happy, I wanted him to be proud of me, I didn't want him to say that I was a waste, and then Roland came, and he was beaten for me almost every time. I worked hard, I was admitted to the Ales Military Academy at the age of seventeen, but then Eliad brought back a woman of unknown origin, and the first time I learned to resist was a whip and a prison in blood, do you know how terrible the prison is, day and night there are people howling and screaming and begging for mercy, that woman is in charge of the blood prison, she tortures me day and night. Then I delayed my training at the academy because I overslept, and even though the instructor punished me, Eliad still refused to let me go, and even then I don't blame him, I always knew that I was his daughter, and until today I finally understand why he did this to me...... I'm really damned...... I don't know what my mother did wrong."
He finally understood why she always had a transparent shell on her body, she was always thousands of miles away, he was so easily injured, and why she was more able to endure pain than men.
She knew it couldn't be, she didn't know how long she could stay here, she never wanted to go back to the Demon Party, she didn't want to see Eliade's terrifying back, but what choice could she have.
This sleep was not very sound, only Lorenzo was calmer when he held her, and he did not fall into a deep sleep until early in the morning. She woke up to clean up the mess and work for another hour.
"Awake?" He looked up to see Morrow standing in the bedroom doorway.
She nodded tiredly, and it seemed that she was not sleeping well.
"I've got a little more to wrap it up."
"Hmm......" Moro nodded, hesitated for a moment, "I...... When can I go out for a walk? ”
"Not now, the whole city is full of Xitai's people."
"That ......"
"How?"
"It's nothing......" she sat down to herself, hugging her knees as if thinking about something.
Time passed quickly, she looked at the picture book and read the book and he worked, and the time seemed to go back again, as if nothing had happened.
Roland found this apartment again, the apartment that looked very ordinary, the dark gray building had no extra decoration, originally there was a smell of Moro's blood that could not be dispersed, but in the past month he had searched almost all the rooms, it seemed to be abandoned, but the most strange thing was that this was the city center where every inch of land was valuable, even if this building was dilapidated, it would never be a place where no one lived, the more ordinary and simple it was, the more suspicious it was.
He stepped in, he had been there countless times, but it was still empty, all the way up to the top floor.
Originally, the smell in that door was the heaviest, and it was continuous, but now the smell was gone, and when I pushed it open again, the door was locked.
"Morrow! Murrow! Open the door! Are you here? ”
But there was no sound to respond.
"Morrow! I'm Roland! ”
She was reading a book in the room and looked up and frowned, "Why do I think someone is calling me?" ”
"Huh?"
"Someone is calling me, it seems to be Roland." The excitement in her tone
"If you think too much, no one will come here."
Moro had already stood up and walked towards the door.
"Morrow!"
Moro was taken aback by his slightly different voice, which had always been flat and hoarse, with no change in pitch, and now even loud to the point of breaking a bit.
She opened the door anyway.
The door was empty.
The vague sound is gone.
"I'm sorry...... I just ......" She couldn't speak, didn't know how to explain her actions, although she never said when she would leave, nor did she talk about the future, Moro just greedily lived by his side day after day.
Lorenzo didn't speak or look up, just flipped through the pages of the papers in his hand.
Moro stood in the doorway, a little bewildered, and there was a hint of anger on Lorenzo's face as he looked at the book.
She stood for a long time, but Lorenzo never looked up at her.
"Lorenzo, I just thought I heard Roland's voice, I didn't tell him at the time, he would definitely look for me, I thought that if he could find me, I would explain it to him, and if he couldn't find me, I would also explain it to him after I returned to the demon party after the human experience." She explained.
"That's your business, you don't need to talk to me." He still didn't look up, his voice was extremely cold. Her heart sank, he was really angry, maybe he should leave to calm down?
She turned to face the door, her hand already gripping the doorknob.
"Don't go." Turning back, he was already behind him.
He held her down, his back slammed against the door with a loud noise, his kiss had fallen, there was no tenderness to speak of, it was aggression or occupation or venting, and even his heavy gasps could be heard. He sucked the tip of her tongue almost oozing blood, and almost bit her lower lip with his fangs, unceremoniously invading every inch of her mouth, the fingers that clasped her wrist were a little blue, and he hardly gave her any respite, his body pressed her so tightly that he almost pressed her into the door, this kiss lasted for a long time.
"Don't go." His voice was low.
"Hurt ......" her eyes were red, and she looked extremely aggrieved.
He let go of her and continued back to the table as if nothing had happened.
The two of them talked less, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, Lorenzo put down the work at hand, rang the bell, and soon someone brought two cups of blood.
He handed it to her, still silent.
The atmosphere became subtle, and she picked up the cup of blood, put it to her lips and took a sip.
"Roland is a very important person to me."
Lorenzo finally reacted and looked up at her.
"Although I know very well that he and I are the most direct rivals, from the first time I saw him as a child, he was protecting me, taking beatings for me, interceding with Eliad on my behalf, he was just an older brother to me......"
"Morro...... I didn't mean that. ”
"No, even if it's him outside the door today, I won't go back to the Demon Party with him."
"Hmm."
"Still angry?"
"No, you won't want to leave me next time."
“……”
"Answer me."
"I can't." She looked up at his expression, "I don't want to lie to you, I'm afraid that one day I will be forced to do so." ”
"There is no necessity, you are mine, you are mine, you are not allowed to leave." He grabbed her wrists again and pressed her against the couch.
It was still a familiar feeling of oppression, but this time she had grabbed his lips, biting and sucking softly, like a soft kitten. It's not her nature, but she's a kitten in front of him, because everything about her is taught by him. She was a little tempted, her light tongue melted his heart a little bit, making him feel that she was really kissing him with her heart and feelings.
"Is that alright?"
"Nope." His body had been pressed down and more active, as if he was swearing his sovereignty.
He tore her shirt and made a harsh sound, uncharacteristically rude, he tore her clothes one by one and even left a slight red mark on her, his rough **, without a bit of discipline, left marks on her, he exhaled heavily in her ear, and said in a low and intoxicated voice, "You are mine, you are not allowed to go, you are mine, you are not allowed to go,"
His impact became more and more violent, so strong that she couldn't help but scream.
Finally, he picked her up and put her on the windowsill to open the window, behind him was the entire night sky of Mister, and the continuous rooftop buildings, the unknown bell tower behind him rang the bell, some terrible vibrations, he hugged her tightly, and said in her ear, "That time in the Wishing Fountain, why did I toss a coin with you, because I heard that if two people toss a coin at the same time on their backs to the Wishing Fountain, they will be together for eternity." I told you that I never believed in these frivolous things about human beings, but when I met you, I couldn't believe it was true. ”
