Roasting sweet potatoes in a historic castle is obviously very out of the ordinary and rare, and no owner can tolerate such reckless behavior. However, roasting sweet potatoes is not the only outrageous thing Wen Ying does. She has been challenging the patience of the vampire brothers and constantly making excessive demands. Oswald is now dazzled by "love", and agrees to her innocuous things, even if it is innocuous, hesitant, it's okay to agree.
He was the one who was born earlier, that is, the elder brother of the two brothers, and the nominal owner of the castle. As long as he agreed, Osmond could not refuse.
Late at night, the dew was thick, and the bright full moon climbed to the sky above. The two really lit a fire in the courtyard, because Wen Ying said that the roasted sweet potatoes are delicious if you do it yourself, so she refused the help of the servants, and only the housekeeper Winston was allowed to help.
It was almost a catastrophic event for Oswald to light the fire. Although he lost his parents since he was a child, Winston managed their lives in an orderly manner, so the two young vampire masters are very untouchable characters. Especially for lighting a fire, which is far from being elegant, Oswald almost gritted his teeth and went to pick up firewood with a livid face. When Wen Ying didn't pay attention, he threw a spell to start the fire.
If he was asked to pick two stones to rub against his life, it would really kill him—he didn't know that human society already had lighters, maybe he knew it, but he didn't care.
Until he saw Wen Ying's face reflecting the fire, waiting happily for the roasted sweet potatoes, his heart was soothed.
He suddenly felt strange, why didn't he notice it before
She was rightfully afraid of them, since she was unarmed and they could easily hurt her. And there is even more reason why she likes to lose her temper with Alicia. It is also the food that was caught, only her blood was sucked, and it was doubled. How many people can tolerate such unfairness? Maybe good Alicia can, but it doesn't matter. Oswald thought lightly.
He heard from Winston that human women would become irritable when they were deprived of blood. This was a physiological reaction and they could not control it. Maybe she used to be a gentle and peaceful woman, and her changes are inseparable from him.
He should feel guilty.
Think about it seriously, how can people have absolutes? She is actually very easy to coax, as long as you can follow her temper and don't make her feel that her life is in danger, she will be happy. She was a very shy character, always blushing, and she was generous enough to give her blood when he was hungry—but he held back.
The more Oswald thought about it, the softer his heart became. When Wen Ying handed over a bite of peeled sweet potato, he ate it without thinking.
When his lips touched her fingertips, he didn't feel the slightest discomfort he had before. Instead, he felt a soft fragrance lingering around, which made the back of his ears a little hot.
—This is not normal, he realized, vampires have no body temperature, he can't feel hot.
"Like it?"
Her soft and cheerful voice came like a cloud of sweet cotton floating from the sky. Of course, he heard himself say, "I like it so much!" If he could get in touch with her for a while, he would like it even more.
Alicia intended to stop Wen Ying's movements, "No, he can't eat these! You don't know them..."
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, after getting Oswald's answer, Wen Ying successfully fed him again and smiled sweetly at him.
Oswald didn't seem to hear Alicia's voice at all, he just felt dizzy, like a little bird in his heart flew out, singing around him. So much so that he ignored the ugly face of Osmond who was passing by, and waved to him, "Dear Osmond, don't you come and have two mouthfuls of warm roasted sweet potatoes?"
His overly intimate tone made Osmond almost spit on him.
"Really, Oswald?" He had the same innocent smile on his face, but his eyes formed a contrasting coldness, "You want me to take two bites of... this thing? You call it 'hot' almost baked sweet potatoes', so you've already eaten?"
"Yes, it's delicious, you can try it too—"
Before he finished speaking, a feeling of nausea rushed into his throat. He retched, and then immediately realized that he was about to say something to Wen Ying, but he retched again. Before he could say anything, he instantly Disappeared in place and entered his bathroom.
"It's delicious." Osmond folded his arms and sneered, but he still told Winston, "Go and see him." He knew that his brother would become like this because of Wen Ying, but the other party repeatedly stopped him. He killed the culprit, and when his stomach was hurting, he showed a happy and stupid expression on his face until it was unbearable, all of which made him unable to bear his anger.
He couldn't tell whether it was more about Hean Wenying or about Oswald.
He desperately hoped that before the love potion expired, his elder brother would be able to gain wisdom and remember the harm this woman had caused him.
Beside him, Alicia looked at Wen Ying with condemning eyes, "Sakura, I said you can't let him eat sweet potatoes. They are different from us,"
Vampires can only accept blood, and even the special ingredients of liquid food will cause damage, and for their "delicate" stomachs, such a solid food entrance is no different from throwing a stone in it, which may scratch the stomach wall bleed. It's not absolutely impossible, it just takes time to adapt slowly, and these two people who don't lack blood supply obviously haven't made such an attempt.
Osmond looked at Wen Ying, his expression seemed to say "even she knows".
Such a reproachful expression makes people feel funny, as if Wen Ying is really Oswald's girlfriend.
"So what?" Wen Ying patted off the remaining sweet potato skin on her fingertips, stood up from the lawn, and looked at Alicia, "I'm glad you remember that we are different from them, Alicia, you Don't you forget that you are locked here, as their food, not as an invited guest? Is it really good that a snack cares so much about chewing her sharp teeth?"
"Oh, maybe I forgot, you haven't been pierced by sharp teeth."
Alicia was stunned for a moment, her eyes turned to Osmond again, and she took a step back for safety considerations—if it was useful, she raised a sweet smile and said, "Why should I care about what you can eat and what you can't eat?" , Alicia is an idiot, it doesn’t mean I am too.”
"Are you naive to think that 'Food' wants the eater to love her because she fell in love with the eater?" She snorted slightly, clenched her palms tightly with her fingertips, "You forgot that the first love potion was used on On whom?"
Osmond tilted his head slightly, and the pure incomprehension in his eyes made him look extremely indifferent.
"You forgot?" Wen Ying said after a moment's pause, "I knew you forgot."
The reason why there is a love potion in the room where they are held is because it was originally intended for them. The person who used them to bribe the two brothers also gave them two love potions and told them that eating when the food fell in love with them would make the process extra fun.
For many vampires, appetite and love are often indistinguishable. Their evil taste makes them like to bite each other's neck in the process of bonding with others to suck the freshest and most delicious blood. The two brothers may be young and have been drinking blood bags for many years, so they did not develop such a hobby.
But this does not prevent them from having the curiosity of children, putting the love potion into the food and feeding it to the original owner, watching her out of control behavior for fun.
They also noticed Alicia at this time. Alicia "keenly" noticed the existence of the love potion, refused to eat, and refused to compromise until she was dying of hunger. So the remaining love potion was randomly placed in the "food" room by the arrogant vampires, and finally became Wen Ying's trophy.
"I haven't forgotten." Osmond said, "but—so what?" His expression was calm, and he really didn't think there was any problem in doing so.
Such candidness is unbearable.
Wen Ying's smile remained undiminished, "Yes, you don't care about the pain of a mere human being. Then I, a mere human being, don't need to care about the feelings of a powerful vampire with extraordinary abilities. Do you feel happy? Look, fascination The potion can be used not only on humans, but also on vampires. Has your great experiment become more interesting? Watching Oswald circling me like a silly bee is fun ?"
Osmond's pupils shrank suddenly.
She shouldn't have mentioned the Love Potion, and she shouldn't have mentioned Oswald in this way!
Yes, of course he didn't expect much from her...but Oswald did so much for her! She had the audacity to refer to him in such flirtatiously provocative terms, proud of herself for having played a vampire around.
Osmond was enraged by her provocation, and sharp fangs appeared in gloom.
"don't want!"
Alicia let out an exclamation, trying to stop Osmond, but he threw it away without looking.
And Wen Ying didn't flinch this time. She pushed back her hair, revealing her smooth and fair neck, and her smile was even more charming and seductive, "You want to suck my blood too? I hope there are enough love potions in it, so that I can drink it." You become like him."
The atmosphere in the castle suddenly became tense. If Osmond had patiently waited for the time limit of the love potion to pass, and adopted a strategy of ignoring Wen Ying most of the time, now he couldn't bear it even for a moment. If it weren't for Oswald Now, he has already killed her hundreds of times.
And Wen Ying dared to make such a provocation because she was sure that Oswald was willing to protect her in front of her. This recognition undoubtedly angered Osmond even more.
He looked down at the two people on the lawn through the Gothic stained glass window. His pale face and bright red lips were reflected on the glass window, divided by lines and torn apart, which seemed somewhat terrifying in the gloom.
Winston appeared behind him, and after staying with him in silence for a while, he asked aloud, "My lord, are you still angry about what happened before?"
"Zi-"
Osmond's long and pointed fingertips easily drew a mark on the glass window. He tilted his head and smiled, "Angry? Why should I be angry?"
"Actually, Miss Sakura doesn't know that you and Oswald-sama cannot eat solid food." Winston calmly faced the other party's threat of force, and continued, "I think she is not as indifferent as she said, she It's just that when facing your threat, she instinctively used attack as a defense. After the incident happened, she quietly entered Lord Oswald's room to comfort him."
"Hypocritical," said Osmond. "She's trying to trick him."
"Even if it's just hypocrisy, at least she did it. After thinking about it seriously, she is just "food" and has no such obligation."
"Which side are you on, Winston?" Osmond turned to stare at his butler.
Winston smiled, "Maybe you, my lord, can also experience love. My lord Oswald is very happy now."
With a funny expression, Osmond pointed to the two people who were happily chasing downstairs and disappeared from sight, "You mean to be as happy as idiots like them?"
He didn't know what to think of, and his expression became gloomy again. He reminded Oswald. He told the truth to the other party immediately, telling the other party that the feelings he thought were just illusions. But he never thought that the manufacture of the love potion would be so... rigorous? The producer seems to have considered this problem a long time ago. As long as he mentioned this matter, Oswald would sigh like a fool, "I really seem to have taken her love potion, otherwise how could I love her so much?"
... so sad.
"A false idiot's pleasure." He said indifferently.
"Yes, for the time being, yes." Winston said, "But you know, Madam also experienced such emotions back then, the sensitive and delicate emotions that can only be brought about by warm-blooded humans, although I don't understand What she meant, after all, Madam finally..."
"Shut up!" Osmond stopped, his eyes flickering, as if he was considering how to punish the loyal butler, "Winston, shut up."
Winston stopped talking, made an apologetic gesture, and then said: "Madam told me, if possible, both adults must try it once, it is more delicious than the sweetest blood." , he retreated first.
Only Osmond, who became very irritable, was left behind, and he came to the top of the tower when he was upset, only the bitter and howling cold wind in the deep night paralleled his mood.
Winston's words reminded him of some things that had been sealed in his memory. The vampire with an endless lifespan came to an abrupt end one day. His parents passed away suddenly. Several adults in the hospital came forward to put pressure on him and Oswald to grow up safely in human society. However, they are not grateful to the elders' house, and they have paid other things for it.
This is a fair deal.
And what was Winston reminding him of? He actually told him love! and humans! Human beings who are full of lies!
Osmond, who was thinking in this way, did not notice that the color of his pupils had changed. The fluctuation of his power caused the pebbles on the stone tower to keep rolling, and the fluctuation became bigger and bigger, but he had no restraint in his desire. .
—Until the girl's exclamation came from below him!
He suddenly came back to his senses, only to realize that at some point, the stone bricks under his feet had disappeared, and his whole body was suspended in the air. And on the floor below the tower where he was, there was also a missing stone brick for people to step on.
He suddenly realized that she was watching the scenery on the tower just now, and he was caught up in his own emotions and didn't notice.
The word "Oswald..." vaguely floated in the air, he thought, probably Oswald used induction magic on her, as long as she called his name for help, he would appear.
Unsurprisingly, Oswald, who had successfully rescued him, appeared opposite him in the next moment with someone in his arms.
"It's you again." His brother frowned impatiently, "Osmond, how many times do I need to stress this to you? She won't threaten you or me, she's harmless Yes. I don't ask you to like her, but don't hurt her either, she doesn't have the ability to protect herself. "
Osmond looked at him coldly.
He knew that Oswald had been hit by a love potion, as if he had been wounded and needed care and understanding. These words were not what he really wanted to say, so I was willing to forgive him. But a person will not always be with the person who is against him. It is the same with him and Osmond. Either way, the rift between them is widening.
This time, the rift was severely torn open a big hole!
His hostile eyes made Oswald shake his head in disappointment, and the feeling of not being understood made him irritated. At this moment, he heard the annoying girl say, "It's not him."
Seeing the two looking down at the same time, she shook her head and said, "It wasn't him, it was me who accidentally stepped on the ground."
small theater:
Osmond: Excuse me, is she crazy
Oswald: (generously) Hee hee, give you a singing bird, let us chirp together.
Osmond: ... Get out!
Oswald: (grievance)... Tweet.
