Hino clenched his fists tightly, and his thick eyebrows, which always showed arrogance, were tightened, revealing unquestionable firmness.
He said firmly, "I disagree. I would rather receive thirty lashes than accept such a punishment."
Rafa squinted his eyes lightly, a sharp light flashed in the dark red pupils, the ice-like imposing manner made everyone lower their heads and hold their breath, not daring to offend Longyan.
Only Yuechu seemed to understand, and with a little complaint in her helplessness, she glanced at Rafa silently.
He knew that Xinuo would definitely not like his proposal, but His Majesty insisted on letting him speak.
The keen Rafa easily caught Yuechu's small eyes, and the anger that had just rolled out seemed to be extinguished in an instant as if it had been drenched by drizzle.
He thought Yuechu would always be gentle, but he didn't expect to have such a petty temper. But not only does he not hate it, but he likes it a little bit.
Rafa carried a warning, and was somewhat dissatisfied with Hino's inexplicable behavior: "Hino, don't say such capricious words."
Hino didn't care about it at all, he couldn't take off his shirt because Anna's name was already tattooed on his chest. If everyone saw it, Anna would definitely be in danger, which he would never allow.
What's the point of receiving ten lashes if it's a big deal!
Hino never thought about Feilin and Dila who were implicated and punished by him for doing nothing. At this moment, there was only a passion in his heart, and he gave it all to Anna.
He raised his chin, stared stubbornly at his father, and said word by word: "I! Reject! Reject!"
Rafa's eyes were cold, and the brows were like dark clouds covering the sun, and lightning flashed.
Seeing that Rafa was about to get angry, Yuechu hurried forward and saluted gracefully: "Your Majesty, in fact, Your Highness is right, this kind of punishment is really bad for His Highness, why don't I be punished instead of Your Highness?" .As long as His Highness can make up for the mistakes in the next trial, then it will be fine."
How can this work!
Such an idea flashed through Rafa's mind for the first time, but he couldn't understand why he disagreed. There is nothing wrong with Yuechu's arrangement, since Xinuo is a rich man, it is okay to let someone else replace Yuan. But…
He stared at Yuechu's face, those clear eyes slowly blinked at him, the slender and thick eyelashes were as agile and graceful as the wings of a butterfly, sincerely making it difficult to look directly at.
Rafa lowered his eyes uncomfortably, moved his hand, and agreed.
Hino breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he is not allowed to take off his clothes, he can do whatever he wants. He stepped back quietly, but did not notice the deep disappointment in Rafa's eyes.
The scorching sun shone through the thin clouds and shone on the white marble tiles, reflecting the silvery light, dazzling people's eyes. In the empty square, the three of Yuechu and the others, with their snow-white upper bodies, were tied tightly to the pillars. Of course, Feilin wasn't completely naked, she was still wearing a tube top with complicated patterns, showing her beautiful figure.
Yuechu's skin was so white and glowing, especially under the sunlight, it seemed to be coated with a layer of light, like an angel walking out of the holy light. When he was wearing clothes, he was as elegant and harmless as a modest gentleman, but when he took off his clothes, he could find that such a handsome person also had beautiful abdominal muscles.
His muscles are graceful, not as bulging as Dila's, but more in line with the aesthetics of the blood race. Originally, Bairi Square, where no one was seen for 800 years, now there are many blood races shuttle back and forth, just to have a few more sneak peeks.
The bat hanging upside down under the eaves not far away was almost blind, but was afraid of the master's order and dared not leave.
Dila twisted her body uneasily, feeling that the skin all over her body was itching against the glare of the sun. However, he stared at Feilin, but he didn't dare to look at Yuechu. He was afraid that if he accidentally showed some ugly face, it would be over. You must know that he was being punished in public, and he didn't even have a chance to cover up and escape.
Feilin turned her head to appreciate it for a long time, and sighed with a heavy heart. She only felt that her eyes were so sore from being pierced, and she seemed to want to shed tears. She was a little confused. After working hard for so many years, she suddenly found that the Lord she dedicated her life to was completely different from what she had imagined. It felt like the whole world had collapsed and she couldn't find her way.
She silently lowered her head to look at the ground, and the shadows of the three were reflected on the ground, unexpectedly inexplicably harmonious. At this moment, some disrespectful thoughts suddenly appeared in the heart of this female blood race. She shook her head quickly, trying to get those thoughts out of her head, but for some reason they couldn't get out.
if…
Dila couldn't bear the loneliness, so she muttered and complained in a low voice: "What's your Highness thinking? It's a big mistake to sneak away regardless of the trial, and he didn't want to reduce the punishment after so much effort. I can't figure out his heart at all now. idea."
Yuechu slowly raised the corners of his mouth and exhaled to make himself more comfortable: "It's really difficult for you, you are not smart in the first place, and now you have to rack your brains to figure out what His Highness Xinuo thinks."
Dila's eyes widened, she looked at Yuechu viciously, and quickly turned back when she touched those smiling eyes.
He stammered and protested: "Are you comforting me or hurting me!"
Yuechu didn't hesitate at all: "Of course it's consolation, but I really don't understand why His Highness refused to accept such a punishment in the end? As far as I know, if each of you is really given ten lashes, probably The past few months will not be easy. The pain of being scraped into the bone by silverware is absolutely unbearable. This kind of punishment is aimed at blood clans who have committed serious crimes, and you are just a small mistake. No need."
Yuechu looked puzzled, wondering why His Highness would rather drag the two waiters to suffer together than accept his suggestion, if it was just to compete with him, it would be too capricious.
He sighed: "It's not easy for you."
Dila nodded vigorously. It was really not easy. Anyway, there is no chance for a fox to pretend to be a tiger, and there are many times when he is implicated and suffers. Especially him, who looks strong and strong, has been His Royal Highness's scapegoat since he was a child, and was always beaten by his teacher.
Feilin's coquettish and seductive eyes rolled fiercely. This idiot, how could he casually say what was in his heart? Even if he really thought so, he should hold it tightly in his heart.
Yuechu looked at the two of them and said earnestly, "However, I still suggest that you communicate with His Highness further, otherwise, if things go on like this, it will only make you go further and further apart."
Feilin was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Yuechu to say such sincere words, and the suspicion that had just arisen disappeared immediately. She smiled wryly, if she could, she would naturally think about it, but it's hard to say whether His Highness is willing to open up to them.
She silently looked at the ground, just as Yuechu said, in fact, they had gone farther and farther.
Yue Chu lowered her eyes to hide the playful smile inside, how pitiful she is...
The next day, the sun was bright, but there was only a little light in the closed room. In the not-so-luxury room, there was only a bunch of moonlight flowers that were placed after Yuechu came, and everything else remained unchanged.
He seemed to know that he would not stay here for a long time, so he did not leave too many traces, as if he was just a passerby, coming and going in a hurry.
Rafa sat on the side of the bed, with pity in his deep blood-colored eyes, looking at the rose-colored burn marks on Yuechu's fair and clean back, his frozen heart seemed to be pierced by sharp needles, and issued fine and dense moles. feeling of pain.
Yuechu was lying on the bed, with her small face leaning against the pillow, the brows were no longer soft and comfortable as usual, but a little sad, like the autumn morning mist shrouded in it.
"Your Majesty..."
Yuechu's dry and cracked lips moved slightly, her voice was hoarse and weak, with a heartbreaking lowness, even when she dreamed of calling this name in her sleep, it revealed humble piety.
His fingers moved slightly, his pale pink nails were as bright as a high-quality shell, as if he wanted to grab something, but he could only touch a piece of air.
Rafa couldn't help lowering his head, his long and smooth silver hair scattered on the bed and Yuechu's body. He carefully stretched out his hand and placed it in Yuechu's palm, but he was afraid that his too sharp black nails would scratch his tender skin.
As if feeling something, Yuechu held Rafa's fingers tightly, and a satisfied smile rose from the corner of her mouth.
Rafa moved the corners of his stiff mouth, his heart softened like spring water, and he couldn't help but want to smile along with his smile. But after all, it hangs down helplessly, blending with the darkness, like an eternal snow mountain.
When Yuechu woke up, he saw a figure sitting by his bed, flipping through his notes. He jumped up almost instantly, and rushed towards that person without hesitation, but was easily dodged, only then did he see clearly that it was His Majesty Rafa in his room.
He was a little surprised, quickly stopped, and saluted quickly. When he raised his eyes again, there was a thick smile on his face, and when the lights first came on, it was even more dazzling than the smoothness of the room.
Yue Chu: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I fell asleep just now."
Rafa didn't take it seriously, on the contrary, he actually felt distressed. Yuechu's reaction obviously meant that he had no sense of belonging here, nor did he trust the people around him. His defenses were always on high, and this The reason for everything is just because of his suppression and indifference.
Rafa: "No problem, I'm here to see you, does your injury still hurt?"
Yuechu's starry eyes were shining brightly, she quickly shook her head, how could it hurt just a small injury. He opened the heavy curtains and let the silvery moonlight filter in through the glass. The beautiful moonlight flowers and the moonlight complement each other, making the whole room look warm.
He invited Rafa to sit down, took out the dried orange leaves that Salu had picked for him, and made a cup of tea for Rafa. According to the taste of the vampires, they actually don't like human food very much, but Yuechu doesn't like to bleed in it, so he directly served it to Rafa.
He looked at Rafa with a smile: "Your Majesty, please try it. This is my new tea. There are also mint and honey in it. It tastes good."
Rafa took a sip, it did have a bit of fragrance, he didn't like it but he didn't hate it either.
Yuechu was very happy, but there was a trace of loneliness in that happiness, although he tried his best to hide it, he couldn't escape Rafa's eyes.
He will leave here tomorrow, and this is probably the last time he and His Majesty have such close contact. Yue Chu didn't know what His Majesty meant by coming here today, but he didn't have to worry, because he wouldn't insist on staying in Wangcheng with a faceless face. As long as it is His Majesty's request, he will do it.
Rafa squeezed the smooth handle of the cup, and the tenderness in his heart was almost overflowing. There is a saying that is true at all, children who are too well-behaved are destined not to get more attention. Yuechu is like this, sometimes he will ignore that this is just a young and immature vampire.
At this moment, he made up his mind.
Putting the cup back, Rafa raised his eyes to look at Yuechu, his red eyes were as deep as a sea of blood.
"Yuechu, you can stay in Wangcheng."
