Chapter 6 The first drop of blood
Qi Zhi retreated from Xicilia's room.

He paused at the door for a while, but the polished leather shoes under his feet could not be moved.

Sighing, he finally pushed the door open again and went in.

Such a petite little girl, who still doesn't know how to take care of herself, how can she bury her head in the quilt when she sleeps, and get bored easily.

Qi Zhi moved very lightly, found a cover covered with black cloth, and put it on the brightly lit candlestick, instantly, the light in the room dimmed.I don't know what the black fabric is made of. The faint light shines through the small holes in it, like a starlight covering the dark room, hazy and beautiful.

After doing this, Qi Zhi turned to the bed and slowly tore off the quilt covering Xicilia's face.In just a short while, the girl had already fallen asleep, and it seemed that she was really drunk.

Qi Zhi took a closer look, and found that the girl's face was ruddy and shiny, and there were a few soft strands of hair hanging around her lips, making her look playful and lovely.The light in the room dimmed, and Xicilia really got used to it a lot, and she didn't poke under the quilt any more. Her sleeping face was pure and beautiful, and she was extremely well-behaved.

Qi Zhi suddenly felt that perhaps it would be good to stay and be a little housekeeper.

After a good night's dream, Xicilia, who crawled out of her dream, didn't know where she was for a moment.

She had been sleeping in the crystal coffin for too long, almost occupying most of her life.

"Squeak!" The heavy wooden carved door was pushed open.Qi Zhi, dressed in a neat suit, appeared at the door, tall and handsome, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes.

Cecilia was confused for a moment, thought for a while, and realized that this is the human being she saved from Ashbourne.

"Good morning, my lord, how did you sleep last night?"

Seemingly not noticing Xicilia's daze, Qi Zhi pushed the silver car in.

On the first floor of the trolley, exquisite desserts and tea are placed, and on the second floor are Xicilia's clothes today. It is very special, today's dress is no longer the black or red that she was used to wearing before.

Xicilia only had time to glance at it, and Qi Zhi pinched her hand on the silk quilt, "Your Highness, go wash up first?"

"."

Qi Zhi bent down, took out a pair of white velvet slippers from the edge of the bed, put Xicilia's snow-white and delicate feet like white porcelain fired in a high-quality official kiln on his lap, and helped her put them on.

Xicilia cooperated very well and didn't find it strange.

"Huh? What's the problem? Do you need me to help you?" Xicilia looked at Qi Zhi's brown eyes, with a gentle light shining inside, and they were a pair of beautiful eyes.

Cecilia touched his slender eyelashes curiously, "Your eyes are beautiful."

Qi Zhi seemed stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and laughed in a low voice, and concentrated on helping her put on her shoes, "Your eyes are the most beautiful treasures in this world."

Cecilia shrugged and didn't care much. She had heard many such compliments, either sincere or flattering.Standing up, stepping on the furry slippers on her feet, she entered the bathroom.

While brushing his teeth, he wondered, is this Qi Zhi really the first time to be a housekeeper?Probably too proficient.The sense of substitution is also strong, and it was only arranged yesterday. Could it be that he was also the butler of a big family before entering the castle?
Xicilia easily accepted her own assumption. It can be seen from Qi Zhi's every move that he is definitely not an ordinary human being, and his temperament can only be raised by a high-ranking family.

When Xicilia came out after washing up, she found that Qi Zhi had cleaned up the messy bed on her bed.It is not easy to fold such a soft quilt into a square shape.

"Your Highness, come over and have some breakfast." Qi Zhi didn't turn his head, but seemed to have eyes on his back.

Many plates had been placed in front of the marble-carved table.Cecilia picked up a pastry with fresh color and cute shape, put it in her mouth and tasted it.A little disappointed to put it down, there is no taste.

Disappointment is inevitable.

As a vampire who is immortal and has an outstanding appearance, while taking advantage of his natural survival advantages, he also has to sacrifice some things.For example, vampires have no taste for anything other than blood.They can feel the temperature and taste, but no matter what it is, it tastes the same, just like chewing wax.

"Forget it, I don't have much appetite today." Xicilia pushed the pastry away.

There is no satiety effect for the vampires to eat cakes, but it is just a formality to carry the aristocratic airs.

Qi Zhi didn't force it, "Then let's try on today's clothes."

He unfolded the clothes, and the soft fabric hung down instantly.This is a dark green dress with a one-shoulder design.There are no heavy patterns on it, and the monotony reveals exquisiteness everywhere.Even a girl like Xicilia was instantly attracted to this skirt.

She had never worn a dress of such color and style.

"Where did this dress come from?"

"I picked it for you."

Xicilia's complexion is fair, and it is accentuated by dark green. Standing indoors, she looks like a light spotter, and her lustrous complexion is so tender that it seems that water can be squeezed out.

"You are well dressed."

Xicilia pinched the skirt and turned it around, "I like it very much, thank you, Qi Zhi."

"Well, it's a little bit worse."

Asking Xicilia to wait for a while, Qi Zhi took a hairpin inlaid with pearls from her dressing table, and clipped it on her long ink-like hair.Qi Zhi took a step back, appreciating his work with satisfaction.

Cecilia stroked her hair.

The inheritance of the blood race comes from the West. This ancient and mysterious race has always maintained some lifestyles and concepts of the medieval western aristocrats, and its appearance is more inclined to the West. Blonde hair and a high nose are common appearance characteristics of the blood race.If Cecilia hadn't given birth to a pair of light green eyes that were as clear as water, she would almost look like an oriental doll through and through.Even though she was a pure-blood, it was not uncommon to hear people talking about her long hair in private.

This is the first time someone has intuitively expressed admiration for his black hair.

Cecilia was full of joy, and ran out holding the hem of her skirt.She wanted to show her brother.

After the demise of Count Louis and his wife, this elder brother who had not been together for a long time treated him very well, and Cecilia was full of attachment to him in her heart.

"His Royal Highness, good morning, you are really beautiful today."

The maids and soldiers I met along the way bowed their heads to pay their respects, and were amazed by the fresh color of the castle. It turns out that apart from black and red, other colors can look so good on the body.

What Xicilia didn't know was that, perhaps inadvertently, she was leading the blood race to a different path.

"elder brother!"

When Cecilia came in, Ashibon was leaning on the seat, holding hot tea in one hand and a newspaper in the other.

"Cecilia, you're here." Asiburn put down his glass and looked at her outfit today in amazement, "You're so beautifully dressed today, like a lively deer in the forest."

Cecilia took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the blanket at Ashbourne's feet, put her cheek on her brother's knee, and was extremely docile.Ashburn felt his heart melt into a puddle of water.

"Brother is reading today's newspaper?"

"Well, other places have not been very peaceful recently."

Cecilia was not very interested in the current situation, so she glanced at it and stopped looking.

"Brother, can I go out and have a look?"

"Huh?" Ashburn looked at her in surprise.Cecilia had never been out of the castle, firstly because she was still young at that time and had no ability to protect herself against vampire hunters, and secondly because her identity as a pure-blood was too precious for everyone to see.

"I'm sorry, Cecilia, you know, it's not very peaceful outside."

Ashburn looked at her with some pity.Although up to now, the situation has not improved compared to before.The little girl's eyes immediately dimmed, and Ashburn thought for a while, and added:
"But you can walk around the old castle."

"Yeah!" Even just being around was enough for Xicilia to be happy for a while.

"Go and put on your cloak, it's windy outside."

The blood race has no body temperature and is not afraid of the cold, but Ashibon still regards Hecilia as a human girl who needs to be carefully cared for, even though she is a pure blood who is stronger than too many blood races.

Cecilia's response was scattered in the wind, wearing small high-heeled shoes "slapped" in the silent castle, and the beautiful dark green skirt swayed non-stop with the owner's movements.

Ashburn shook his head with some amusement. He put down the newspaper in his hand, stroked the ruby ​​ring on his hand carefully, and fell into deep thought. His deep eyes seemed to see the other side of the world through a thick wall.

There will always be a moment when it comes, and the wheel of fate will not stay for anyone.But even at that time, he must do his best to guard all of this.

"Qi Zhi, Qi Zhi!"

When Xicilia found Qi Zhi, he was sitting at the desk writing something.

"what happened?"

"I can go out now! Will you accompany me?"

Xicilia threw herself directly in front of Qi Zhi's table, looking at him with her chin resting, her rosy lips pursed slightly, delicate and pure.

"Okay." Qi Zhi closed the notebook, found a black cloak from somewhere, embroidered with intricate golden patterns, "Put on the clothes, it's windy outside."

Xicilia didn't know if it was windy or not, so she obediently asked Qi Zhi to help him fasten the collar buttons. Seeing his slow movements, she couldn't wait to grab his cuffs and tugged, "Let's hurry up." Well, the previous housekeeper uncle told me that fireflies may be found in the forest at night, like a small lamp at night, I have never seen it before."

Qi Zhi smiled lightly, but did not tell her that this time was different, and there were hardly any traces of fireflies.

"Your Highness, have you ever seen a squirrel?"

"squirrel?"

"Well, the tail is fluffy, the body is small, the eyes are big and black, the courage is small, but it is very docile, and likes to jump among the trees."

Hearing Qi Zhi's clear and soft voice, Xicilia imagined the appearance of that cute creature in her mind, "I want to see it."

"Well, I'll show you in a while."

　Qi Zhi: Today is the first day of dressing up, perfect.

　　Qi Zhi, sober up!The reason for you to snatch your wife is not for you to play Miracle Nuan Nuan!
　　Qi Zhi: Yes. . .Let me think about what look is better tomorrow.

　　Seemingly distressed, but actually letting go of myself
