"Bear with me, my child, humanity needs our consecration, Johild."

From the time he was sensible, the first thing Johild learned was patience.

It may seem difficult for a child who has been brainwashed since he was a child to resist.

Even when he lay on the altar, the pain of a snake and ant gnawing his whole body, he didn't think about struggling.

He was a rare rare-blooded race, and his parents feared that he would be unfaithful to humans, so they carved a curse into his blood.

Johild Chris, you are our hope.

Humanity has been enslaved for far too long, and there is a fable that the blood born in the darkness will lead humanity to glory.

That person might be you, Johilde, my child.

"Birthday presents? Ah, let me think about it, just- he's all right. ”

The girl's crisp voice was tinged with a hint of a smile, and Johilde, who had always been insensitive to external things, raised his head.

He glanced at the girl's eyes, which were as crimson as the setting sun.

She leaned arbitrarily beside the queen's throne, while he knelt like a domestic animal in the pale white garments of Noari's human uniform.

They were—Her Royal Highness the Princess and her blood slaves.

The domestic animals that enter Noah will be washed of their memories and become numb and indifferent. Johilde's training since childhood made him immune to this brainwashing, but his eyes were more hollow than those of ordinary people.

"What's your name?" Her Royal Highness the princess suddenly came over, they were very close, Johilde could even smell the faint aroma on Shen Qingqing's body, he couldn't tell what it was, but it inexplicably made him feel good, Johilde subconsciously shrugged his nose and replied: "Johilde Chris"

"My name is Shen Qingqing, you can call me Qingqing." Her Royal Highness said.

He was a little surprised, stunned for a while, and then spoke: "Okay, Your Highness the Princess." ”

"Don't call me Her Royal Highness."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Shen Qingqing: ......

"Why is this kid so stupid?" Shen Qingqing muttered quietly.

Johilde looked up and saw the princess, who was a head shorter than himself, and said nothing.

When he first came to the Princess's Mansion, Johildean stayed quietly by Shen Qingqing's side, living like a transparent person, the only use of a blood slave like him was to dedicate his own blood to his master, and it seemed that Shen Qingqing had no idea at present, so his only use was useless.

However, the young princess seems to have taken him as a playmate.

Her Royal Highness's most frequently played game was hide and seek, which was very much in line with a little girl's game, Johild thought.

Her Royal Highness had a very good smell on her body, and Johilde always found her quickly.

Her Royal Highness the princess has been defeated and defeated repeatedly, and so on, with her anti-bones, she has successfully made hide and seek the most common game they play.

"What do you think of this, little Johilde?" The little princess picked up her dress, turned around as if showing off, and asked in the mirror: "Magic Mirror Magic Mirror~ Who is the most beautiful princess in the world?" ”

Johilde repeated the words that Shen Qingqing taught him again without emotion: "It's you, Her Royal Highness Princess Qingqing, you are the most beautiful princess in the world." ”

"It's you, Her Royal Highness Princess Qingqing~" Shen Qingqing pouted and lowered his throat to learn to speak in a strange manner, and finally said dissatisfiedly: "Can you be a little more emotional, little Johilde." ”

"Let's be honest, there's something hard to say." The princess said, looking up proudly.

She was indeed beautiful enough, and it is no exaggeration to say that she was more brilliant than any gem he had ever seen.

As a royal family, attending banquets is a sparse and common thing. Johilde stood quietly behind her in Shen Qingqing's carefully selected dress.

He doesn't like to talk by nature, and he doesn't have any expressions, and he stands there like a delicate doll.

"Little Johilde, I have to go to the mausoleum, I can't take you there for the time being, you are obedient here, I will be back in a while." Shen Qingqing followed the maid and said something, then turned his head to talk to him.

Johilde nodded his head to indicate that he understood. As soon as Shen Qingqing's back disappeared, he heard a bang, and the man came back again.

"If anyone who doesn't have long eyes bully you, you will give him a big sinus." Shen Qingqing said, stretched out his hand to demonstrate, and then said, "If it's that kind of vampire with a particularly high level, don't give it." ”

"Okay." Johilde understood, after all, that kind of nobleman he really couldn't provoke.

"You asked Jessica to give him a big pocket, that kind of vampire is very thick-skinned, your small body doesn't hurt to hit people, Jessica is different, Jessica is the ...... of our family's combat effectiveness"

"Your Highness!" Jessica's cheeks flushed, and even her blue eyes turned crimson.

Shen Qingqing made a zipper gesture to shut up, turned his head and left.

Facts have proved that Shen Qingqing's worries are right.

At the end of the banquet, seeing that Shen Qingqing had not yet returned, the nobles attacked Johilde.

"This is the rumored blood slave who was spoiled by Her Royal Highness the princess and was lawless? It looks good, but I don't know how it tastes? The nobleman looked at Johilde with a disgusting look in his eyes, and Jessica stood in front of Johilde and said respectfully, "Good day, Marquis River." ”

The favored and lawless blood slave Johilde himself felt that the rumors were a little outrageous, pursed his lips, and did not speak, he couldn't really step forward and slap the marquis.

"Ah, Jessica, I say, what's the matter with you princesses, why did you bring your animals to the feast, intending to give each of us a bite to eat?"

"Livestock ......," the man said, as if he were about to do it.

"Smack!" A crisp slap resounded throughout the hall, and even the band stopped, and Johilde saw Shen Qingqing suddenly appear in front of him, first slapping the marquis, and then kicking him into the wall.

The movements are very coherent and look like they are not lacking in action.

River struggled to get up, and when he saw Shen Qingqing, the anger gushing in his eyes couldn't be stopped.

"Get out." Shen Qingqing said.

"Your Highness, you actually humiliated a nobleman for a blood slave?"

"You get out too."

The banquet ended unhappily, and Shen Qingqing went back to educate Johilde.

"Didn't you say that if you can deal with this kind of person, don't beep?"

"It's okay for me, Your Highness, just bear with me."

"Bear with what, Johilde? Are you the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Shen Qingqing was so irritable that he grabbed his hair and messed up the delicate hairstyle: "Listen, little Johilde, you don't need to be patient." ”

Not required...... Endure?

"You are yourself first and foremost, you are Johild, my unique Johild, you can do whatever you want, your will is free."

"But Your Highness, the premise of everything is that you are willing to be my backer, if one day, you don't want me anymore, then in Noah, I am still a domestic animal."

"I didn't have freedom, I wasn't born with."

Both in and outside Noah, he was tightly bound.

"But Johild, I will never want you...... When you are so strong that no power in this world can bind you, you can be truly free. Trust me, Johilde, and I'll do my best to help you. ”

Shen Qingqing made two promises to Johilde

First, she would never abandon him.

Second, she will always be by his side.

Johilde looked at the princess's sunset red eyes and wondered, can I trust her? I should be able to trust her....... Right?

That memory was extremely vague for Johilde.

Dark, cold, muddy.

By the time his brain was completely clear, he had already put on thick shackles and was escorted to the execution ground.

I became ...... Bloodsucker?

Before Johilde could accept the fact that he had become a vampire, he saw his ancestor, the only princess of the Bloodline, on the execution ground.

There were so many doubts that the trust he thought was strong enough collapsed in an instant.

She would never abandon him.

She will always be by his side.

Her Royal Highness sat proudly on the judgment seat, and between her and him, there were suddenly two worlds.

His princess, who turned him into a monster.

Just when he thought that the monster would die on the gallows, hope came again.

Jessica suddenly appeared next to him, and he seemed to be saved.

He and Jessica hid in Tibet, barely making it to the hunter's base camp.

After settling the badly injured Jessica for the time being, Johild returned home alone, intending to pick Jessica back after she stabilized.

He thought that his parents should at least have feelings for him, but he didn't expect that they would be so determined to send themselves to the laboratory.

He can't remember much about that dark time in the laboratory.

He only remembered that when he stood at the top, those who disobeyed him, those who hurt him, had disappeared.

Johild doesn't remember how many sins he has committed.

He always felt that this kind of life was what he deserved.

And in Noah, under the warm artificial sun, in the garden full of spring, even the air is sweet life, like a very distant dream.

So he found Shen Qingqing, and he saw her sleeping quietly in the coffin.

"Your Highness, if you can, can you let me see that kind of sweet dream again?"

The tip of Johilde's nose revolves around the sweet scent of the Ancestor, his Ancestor, his Highness, whom he misses so much.

He woke her up.

Johilde wasn't sure that the offspring could call his ancestors, but the ancestors would not necessarily heed the call of the descendants, and she might not have cast her eyes on him.

Fortunately, his ancestors were merciful enough.

She was even willing to give him her own blood, saying, "My only recipient, I regard you as my everything." ”

Johilde only thought that this was a beautiful word, and he looked at Shen Qingqing's white neck, his mind full of thirst for blood.

You've turned me into a monster!

A monster dominated by desire!

"I'm human, not a monster."

Refusing to suck blood is his last bottom line as a human being.

He could resist the temptation of blood, but he could not resist his ancestors.

Johilde found himself still secretly paying attention to everything about Shen Qingqing as before.

He was like a despicable rat, hiding in the gutter, coveting the light.

Since Shen Qingqing came back, everything has been developing in a good direction.

The turning point comes from "Radiance".

He needed Huiyao, and Shen Qingqing was the best candidate, and Johilde admitted that he was using Shen Qingqing.

But as a hybrid of the Holy Clan and the Blood Clan, he thought she would come back safely.

In fact, the day before he was so anxious that he was about to leave to find her, Shen Qingqing did appear in front of him.

Just as he was slacking off, Jessica had another mishap.

Jessica, who is like family to him, really can't give up ruthlessly.

He couldn't save Jessica.

Johilde regretted that he hadn't done anything to the House of Elders sooner.

Jessica's suicide left Johild sane at all.

She's dead.

At that moment, he seemed to see himself.

In Shen Qingqing's arrogant indifference, he walked on the execution platform.

She is one of the strongest bloods, and she has the ability to protect Jessica.

But she didn't.

"I'm not omnipotent, that's a blast."

Johilde stared into Shen Qingqing's eyes, loneliness and sadness as if they were about to overwhelm her.

He didn't understand why she was in such a mood.

The more hurtful words in the back were swallowed by him.

He was glad he hadn't completely lost his mind.

He regretted why he couldn't ask her, why he couldn't care more about her emotions.

Did Johilde think that if he turned back the clock, he would do better than he did then?

The answer is no.

He didn't know what he was supposed to do in that situation.

It wasn't until the war broke out that he understood what the phrase "I am not omnipotent" meant.

He became a monster, it was his massive blood loss that hung by a thread, and Shen Qingqing had to make his first hug.

And after the first embrace, in order to prevent the toxicity of the explosive seed from breaking out in his body, she exchanged blood again.

After escaping from the execution ground, every time he was in danger, he had the help behind her.

Even when she was asleep, she refused to allow Rena to exchange their blood back, but instead gave him complete control over the sudden ability.

She told him more than once, "Little Johilde, you're not a monster. ”

I will never abandon you.

I will always be by your side.

Abandon me, it's okay to leave me behind.

The remnant sun was like blood, and Johilde muttered to himself on the grass where Shen Qingqing had disappeared.

I just want you to live.

It's okay to become a vampire, it's okay to become anything.

I just want you to live well.

Clear.

The young man with low self-esteem finally has the courage to call out his lover's name again.

But he could no longer smell the familiar breath of his.

The sunlight could no longer burn his skin, but he wanted to turn back into the monster that lurked in the dark.

He actually deceived Shen Qingqing.

He doesn't care about the so-called freedom at all, it's just that everyone thinks he should aspire to it.

So he went along with the yearning.

He deceived everyone and himself, as if all those with pride should be.

Johilde curled up on the grass amusedly.

All he cared about was Shen Qingqing's gaze.

A lame ridiculous clown who exaggeratedly chases a red balloon in a black-and-white mime played by himself.

The balloon eventually flew off the screen.

Tears poured out of the corners of his eyes, his heart hurt so much that he couldn't breathe, he retched, laughed, his face flushed, and his fingers were full of dirt.

In a trance, I heard her say again, "Little Johilde, don't cry." ”

What is real? What is Falsehood?

The clown wiped away his tears and whispered, "Let's go back, Your Highness." ”
