"You... that's because..."
"Me what?" The white-haired, red-eyed vampire suddenly smiled, his eyes full of smiles, "Am I not better than Louis?"
"You are not allowed to say his name..."
"I'm better than him, am I not? Can he do that for you? A mere human being, is he worthy of you standing here and talking to me with a look of grief for him?" The white-haired, red-eyed vampire looked at him and said word by word, "Admit it, Wade, you can't bear to kill me, and I am Lucian and Louis."
"… "
"You can't bear to leave me."
…
Monica stood in the yard, trembling with fear.
After Lucian said those words that sounded like nostalgia and provocation, Wade grabbed his arm and dragged him back to the room. After hearing those words, Wade was furious. Monica had no doubt what would happen to Lucian in Wade's hands.
What did he mean by that? Was it a deliberate provocation? Or was it a change of heart and a longing for the old times? But Monica knew that no matter what Lucian's original intention was, such words sounded like a ruthless provocation to Wade.
The door was slammed shut, and Monica was ready to call a doctor, just as she had done every time Wade brought Lucian back to the room. But this time, Wade came out faster than she thought.
Less than half an hour.
“… Let him stay in that room.” He said to the attendants around him, “No one is allowed to bring him food.”
Wade's tone was still cold and fierce. But he also pulled at his collar, his expression was dull, and his ears were slightly red. He left as if he was fleeing in panic.
This scene reflected in Monica's eyes, making her a little stunned.
…
It wasn't until the third day that Wade got over the teasing he had done with Lucian in the room. He returned to the room and saw Lucian lying on the bed like a listless cat.
The cat's ears also drooped. Seeing him coming, its wine-red eyes looked at Wade with a pitiful and cute look. He said weakly, "I'm hungry, Master Wade."
Wade snorted coldly and sat down next to him. He hooked his earlobe with his finger and said, "You deserve it."
Lucian was really hungry. His hair was gray and dull, and only his eyes flashed with hunger. He pounced on Wade, bit his neck with his teeth, and forcefully sucked blood from his veins.
The only sound in the room was the gurgling sound of blood sucking. Wade gently patted Lucian's neck with his hand. The white-haired beauty was still reluctant to let go after sucking blood. He licked his lips, stared at Wade, and suddenly moved closer.
"More?" Vader said.
Then he was suddenly kissed on the cheek by Lucian.
Lucian: “Hehe.”
Vader: …
Wade coughed three times to hide the redness of his cheeks. Lucian hooked his neck, kissed his cheek, and then kissed his eyes. Wade could only say fiercely, "Childish."
"Do you want to suck some blood?" Lucian asked him with a smile.
Wade stared at him for a while, then he cupped Lucian's cheek and kissed him.
Lucian closed his eyes while kissing. His eyelashes were very long, and touching Wade's face was a tingling sensation.
"How else do you want to act?" Wade asked him.
…
From the perspective of others, after arriving in Sinfernati, the relationship between Vider and Lucian had improved significantly.
The time they spent arguing with each other became shorter, and on the contrary, the time they spent together in silence increased. For some unknown reason, Wade began to take Lucian to many places in Sinfernati.
In the eyes of others, these places are random and have no rules. But Monica knows that they are all places where the humanoid weapon Vader and the human youth "Louis" once left their memories.
Vader was torturing Lucian, but while he was torturing him physically, his heart was also in unspeakable pain. Monica felt that she understood this better than anyone else.
But now, as we visit places that carry our memories...
"His Majesty has become gentler than before." Another attendant said to her, "I don't know what has caused him to change like this, but I always feel that this may not be a..."
"It shouldn't be a bad thing." Monica said.
She looked at Lucian from afar across the courtyard. This blood prince, who she could never see through, was sitting by the window. He looked out the window, his pale face calm and gentle, expressionless, like a puppet.
That empty look made her heart tighten. An indescribable sense of terror came over her.
Monica could see the recent changes in Lucian. After the quarrel in the courtyard, he became much more docile and proactive than before, but he also became more silent when Wade was not around.
Like he was trying in vain to... salvage something.
He said that Wade had lost everything related to Sinfernati, but he was the only person he was reluctant to lose.
He said, admit it, Wade, you can't lose me.
"Mister Monica," someone informed her, "The Emperor has ordered you to come over."
Confused and nervous, Monica arrived at Vader's study. The black-haired emperor was sitting at the table, holding a piece of paper in his hand.
An old piece of drawing paper.
Against the light, Monica couldn't see the contents of the paper. She only saw that it was a rough, old piece of paper, like a painting from many years ago, and it was no different from the paper torn from the most common sketchbook sold in a roadside shop.
"Monica," she heard Vader's voice.
"… yes?"
"Do you know where I can buy a ring in Sinfernati?"
The black-haired emperor said calmly. She saw his fingers running across the young man's cheek on the drawing paper, his slightly closed eyes expressionless.
"ring… "
"I found that I still want him to come back to me." He said as if talking to himself.
…
Vader decided to buy Lucian a ring.
In the second week, he and Lucian took a carriage to the famous jewelry store in the city. The owner took out gems of various sizes, and the two most dazzling ones were red and green.
Rubies are like roses, belonging to the dangerous and vicious Lucien. Emeralds are like forests, belonging to the gentle and cheerful Louis.
Lucian was silent. In fact, after arriving at Sinfernati and the conflict in the courtyard, he became paler, more silent, and more fragile than before in the eyes of others. When the shopkeeper asked, he did not make a choice, but lowered his eyes and stared at his fingers.
There was a slight tension and a slight desire in that look.
Until he heard Vader's words.
"Pick the green one," he said.
He chose Louis.
It was raining on the way back. Wade held Lucian's hand under the raindrops hitting the hood of the car. He said, "Lucian, let's start over."
Lucian stared at the city outside the window in a daze.
"Who do you want, Louis or Lucian?" he seemed to be thinking.
The two men's voices were not loud, but they were loud enough for Monica, who was outside the carriage, to hear. Monica looked at the two men and saw Lucian's subtext in his empty eyes.
She closed her eyes gently, her eyes slightly moist.
At this moment, Wade squeezed Lucian's palm.
"What are you thinking about?" he said.
Lucian whispered in his ear, "I saw the bell tower where we had our first incident."
Vader: …
…
The ring would take a month to make. But the Emperor and the vampire had a lot of time. Vader could stay in Sinfernati until the ring was finished.
The ring seemed to have untied some kind of knot in Vader's heart.
But Lucian became more and more silent.
He began to suffer from insomnia all night long. During the day, he sometimes felt palpitations and panic of falling into the abyss when he fell backwards. He began to feel pain in his fingertips, the pain came from nowhere, and he didn't know where it came from, but it was more like the somatization of some mental illness.
He hid these illnesses very well. They were only revealed when Wade kissed his forehead and left one day. Monica passed by the garden and saw Lucian sitting on a bench. He was looking at the sky, but suddenly he began to breathe rapidly, like a drowning person in the daytime.
The air rushed into his lungs like a flood. Monica looked at him in horror, but saw Lucian clenched his palms tightly after a long time and recovered.
"Lucian... Sir?"
She couldn't help but call out his name.
Then she saw Lucian covering his face with his hands. After a long time, Lucian made a sound that sounded like crying and laughing.
The sound soon stopped.
Monica didn't know whether she should go forward. She heard Lucian say in a calm voice, as if talking to himself, "He wants Louise."
"… "
"He just wanted Louis."
The sun shone from east to west, and Monica watched Lucian get up from his chair. He didn't look at anyone, but walked into his room step by step.
And closed the door.
After closing the door, Lucian leaned against it with his back, his eyes half closed. He wanted to laugh, but when he noticed the arrival of another person, he still showed a dull and desperate expression.
The dark shadow that had sneaked in earlier appeared in the corner and handed him a note.
"We plan to assassinate you on the day you go to the jewelry store again. You will be responsible for the action, and we will pick you up after that." The man said, "Do you remember it?"
“Remember that.” Lucian said.
Lucian held the note until Vader came back. After the black-haired, red-eyed emperor sat on the bed, Lucian threw the note to him and said, "They plan to assassinate you next month. It's time for you to catch them all in one fell swoop."
Wade took the note, glanced at it casually, and asked Lucian, "What are you going to do?"
"What and how?"
"Stab me or be imprisoned by me?" Wade said.
Lucian leaned on him and thought for a while, then put his chin on his shoulder and said, "How about this, I failed in the assassination, escaped, but lost my memory - what do you think of this plot?"
Vader: …
"By the way, when you put the ring on my finger in the jewelry store, remember to call me 'Louis'." Lucian winked and said, "It's best to let others hear it too."
Vader: …
How many similar scenes has Lucian seen
…
Vader finally succumbed to Lucian's evil taste.
The assassination by the resistance organization happened as planned. Vader also followed Lucian's plan professionally. When the silver bullets came, he took Lucian and fled to the depths of the jewelry building, where he was stabbed by Lucian.
This was the sound Monica heard when she arrived.
"... They asked me to kill you, but I didn't stab you in the vitals, I only stabbed you in the stomach." She heard Lucian's calm voice, "I have done you a good job, Wade."
"—You like fools like Louis. Innocent, pure, romantic, sunny, and overly compassionate, but that's not me. Look, I stabbed the dagger into your body, but you're still smiling." Lucian said, "We're even, Wade."
When Monica rushed into the room, Lucian had disappeared. He was like a gust of wind, coming and going without a trace. She saw Wade stand up with the help of the wall and throw the bloody dagger to the ground.
"… grown ups."
"Kill them all."
"… grown ups?"
"Kill all the resistance groups." Vader said.
Monica had never seen such a dark look in Wade's eyes.
She knelt on one knee and faithfully carried out all of Vader's decisions.
The lair of the resistance organization was destroyed, and Vader's reputation reached its peak at that moment. From then on, no one could question Vader's decision. The arrogant world that once regarded him as a fighting weapon completely bowed to him.
But Monica knew that Wade was not happy.
On the day when the Resistance Organization's lair was destroyed, Wade ordered his men to check all the information in the base. He did not see any trace of the Resistance Organization's former ally, the Blood Prince Lucian.
"... We had never thought of cooperating with him sincerely. After he escaped... from you, we began to monitor him." The member of the resistance organization said tremblingly, "He escaped during our encirclement and fell off a cliff. His body was not found."
Vader: …
Wade silently watched the clichéd plot recorded. The guards beside him were indignant: "Your Majesty, this is the fate that betrayers deserve."
"... I understand." Wade closed the record and took a deep breath, allowing himself to say this line that made him feel extremely ashamed without any expression, "If he's alive, I want to see him in person. If he's dead, I want to see his body."
He sent troops to look for Lucian, but could not find him. Finally, one night in November, after returning to the palace, Wade saw a white cat squatting on his window.
The white cat sat on its paws. It tilted its head back, elegant and noble, with a familiar light flashing in its wine-red eyes. Seeing Wade coming, it meowed coquettishly at him.
Wade walked over and touched his head. The cat rubbed its head against his palm obediently and tamely.
"Wade, why can't you find me?" The white cat stared at him with round eyes, "I'm so bored pretending to have amnesia."
Vader: "...How would I know where you are hiding?"
"Of course it's Sinfernati. This is the only way to have all the elements of a bloody conflict." The white cat licked his paw and said, "My current identity is 'Louis the Amnesiac Painter.' After being rescued from the river, I couldn't remember my past. I only remembered this name that I hated so much. So I took it as my own name because I had lost my memory."
Vader: …
White Cat: "Remember to come find me soon."
