Blood Contract: 血色契约: Xue Se Qi Yue
Blood Contract, Chapter 103: The old woman
It's another room for Zero without day and night. Heavy curtains blocked the sunshine outside. It's an old-fashioned house with some decades of decoration inside. Although the decoration is not as luxurious as the palace, it's warmer than the palace
Zero walked barefoot on the carpet, subconsciously wanted to lift the curtain, but immediately took back his hand. He turned around, and there was an old lady sitting on the rocking chair behind him
The rocking chair was rocking and the old woman was humming and knitting. This is a kind-hearted looking old woman, wearing presbyopic glasses and carefully knitting a sweater
Zero came to the old woman's side and leaned over his head on her leg. The old woman smiled lovingly and held out his dry hand to touch Zero's hair.
”Baby, hungry?” The old woman asked.
[1] Well the excatl word used is Baobao which is a version of Baobei meaning darling one or baby so I went with baby
Zero shook his head. The baby name he was just called is the name of the old woman's grandson. The vampire who sent him here told him about the old woman. The old woman has a grandson who was the same age as him. This here is the house of his grandson. Yes, the grandson is a man. But a blood slave who was a little higher than the ordinary people. Three years ago, the old woman's grandson was tortured to death by a vampire aristocrat.
The old woman waited for his grandson in the house every day, afraid that his grandson would return and he won't find her. She was struggling to get over her grandson death before hers.
Good heart's vampires turned her into a vampire, and let her live a monster's life and wait for her grandson
It's not for anyone to be a vampire. Although the old woman has become a vampire, her body can't keep up with her. She can only sit in a rocking chair all day long. If she is lucky, she can catch a mouse who passes by after a while, or wait for the kind-hearted vampires to bring her some food.
Allen put him in a house without barrier or guards, but Zero couldn't get out of it.
”Baby, grandma left you a snack!” Said the old woman, shaking her hand and feeling in her clothes for a long time. She felt a bag of things wrapped in a handkerchief. She opened the cloth bag layer by layer, revealing two soft biscuits and a piece of sugar
“Let's eat now baby. “The old woman twisted a small cake and handed it to Zero's mouth
Zero frowned, but didn't refuse the old woman's food. He frowned because the person who sent him said to her that he was the old woman's grandson!
Zero sneered. Allen really knew him!
The old woman's eyes were almost blind. She reached out her rough and haggard hand and stroked Zero's face, humming a nursery rhyme. Zero listened quietly with his legs under his pillow
He didn't know how long after that, Zero, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, first heard the rumble of the carriage. After a while, the door opened. Zero raised his head and looked at the door.
The person who came in from the door was the vampire who brought Zero here. The vampire was holding a large tray with a candlestick on it. Under the candlelight, there was a huge amount of food and a jar of blood.
The vampire put the tray on the table, then closed the door and went out without a sound
Zero went to the table, poured a cup of blood, then walked back to the old woman and crouched down, put the blood on the old woman's hand.
The old woman smiled lovingly: “Grandma is not hungry, baby you eat."
Zero didn't speak or walk away. He looked at the old woman quietly. The old woman couldn't help but drink the blood from the cup.
In fact, the old woman is not a complete vampire. If she doesn't drink blood for ten days, she will be OK. Being a vampire just made her drag her body on and on.
Seeing the old woman drinking blood, Zero just stood up and walked to the table and began to eat his dinner. The dinner was very rich and delicious. But Zero had no appetite. But didn't worry, he could eat all the food without appetite
Last time, Allen sent food to him and upset his mind with Kattsis, which made him accidentally take the food with medicine. In recent days, Zero was worried about it. I don't know if Allen's words were true.
There's another thing, although it's not enough time, but half a month must have passed. His father should have returned to the castle of Marquis Kenson, and he must be looking for him now
His father can never guess what he's doing, just like he doesn't know what he's planning now.
Zero looked sideways at the old woman sitting on the rattan chair, knitting. Zero thought about how to talk to the old woman and tell her that he was not her grandson. Besides, he had to leave here!
Zero settled the dinner, put down his sword and fork, went to the old woman and leaned over her leg
“Is the baby full?” The old woman asked
Zero nodded.
The old wiman affectionately rubbed Zero's black hair, then patted Zero's shoulder and compared the size of his sweater
”Oh, the baby is tall and thin. Oh, the sweater is too big. I need to knit a new one again!” The old woman muttered
Zero shook his head, took the old woman's sweater and put it on himself. The sweater is really too big, and it's too loose on Zero. "Not big.” Zero said
The old woman smiled and shook her head. “It's still too big. Come on, grandma, will change it."
“Grandma I...” Zero frowned
"Huh? Don't you like the pattern? Look at this old woman. The baby is master, and the pattern can't be too childish. “The old woman said. She grabbed the sweater to take it off Zero
”No, grandma, I...”
Just then the door was opened and a man stumbled in
Stand up with a brush of his clothes, the man hooked the thread head to the chair, and pulled out.
”Katt... Sis.” said Zero
Kattsis raised his head and looked at Zero in surprise!
”How do you...” Zero looked at him coldly
Kattsis's expression changed from surprise to elation surprise: "Zero..."
Zero saw Kattsis was covered with bloodstains. He walked up a few steps, stopped again, looked at a large piece of wool behind him, and quickly took off his clothes and sent them back to the old woman
The old woman squinted and looked at the visitor with difficulty: “Who is it? Who's here?”
“It's OK. It's... It's my friend." Zero patted the old woman's hand peacefully. The old woman listened to Zero and smiled again. “It's my baby's friend. Come on in. The house is not very clean forgive this old woman manners.“ The old woman tried to stand up and Zero hurriedly pushed her back to the chair.
Kattsis was surprised to hear the conversation between the old woman and Zero, but he hurried to close the door and walk in. Zero went to hold Kattsis, who was tottering, and sat him down.
“What's the matter?” Zero asked
“The smell of blood? Baby, is your friend hurt?” The old woman was a little anxious and wanted to stand up again. Zero quickly helped her to sit down again. “It's a small injury I can deal with!”
With that, Zero opened the cabinet and took out the medicine box
Kattsis glanced at the old woman, and his suspicions were even worse.
Zero took off Kattsis's robe. His pale body is full of tiny wounds. There are even a few silver needles left
Zero pulled out the silver needle at the thickness of his finger. At the end, there is a "K" engraved on it
“The Vampire Hunters? Where did you mess with them?” Zero asked, wrapping gauze around Kattsis
Kattsis was so flattered that his heart beat wildly. He thought Zero would treat him as a stranger when he saw him, but he didn't expect to help him
”Father...” Kattsis's eyes were a bit sour. During this time, he thought a lot. He knew he was completely stranger with Zero, but he still could not bear it. He heard the eye liner saying that a person like his father the Dark Emperor appeared at Blood Emperor's side. He immediately wanted to come to argue. However, he was in conflict with six other prince's plan to make a fake Dark Emperor. He was imprisoned by them and managed to escape. He arrived at Sabat, but just after stepping on Sabat's land, he met the Vampire Hunter K-Army
Zero was in a panic. They are not far from Sabat's country? Is the K-Army taking Sabat's "heart"?
“The Sangyang Island is free area where people can enter and leave the barrier?" Zero frowned
Kattsis, aware of Zero's worries, replied: “The barrier is stronger when its caster is stronger. Although the border is already weakening, only human beings can enter here so far."
They don't know about the establishment of the third force. Although the capability of the K-Army is obvious to all, its quantity is limited...
”Zero...” Kattsis was in a bad mood and looked at Zero in a dim way. Only for a few days, he thought of him that way.
Kattsis looked at Zero's side face in the dim candlelight, and his eyes become surprisingly gentle. His infatuation with the Dark Emperor has unconsciously shifted to Zero.
Zero suddenly raised his head and looked at him sharply! There is cold in the eyes and a warning
Kattsis just opened his mouth and closed it. He looked at Zero for a moment with mixed feelings
Zero turned his head and looked at the old woman. He saw the old woman nodding his head and dozing off
Kattsis saw that Zero was very concerned about the old woman, so he lowered his voice and asked. ”Who is she?"
Zero turned to Kattsis and asked coldly.” What the hell is going on in Camarilla?"
Kattsis was shocked stiff for a moment. As expected, nothing could be concealed from Zero
Looking at Zero's serious expression, he dare not lie: “They wanted to assassinate the Blood Emperor."
Peng Deng... Zero knocked over the water glass on the table. Zero was shocked stiff and stood up to take the dishcloth to wipe off the water as if nothing had happened
Kattsis shivered, then smiled bitterly. How could he not know? Three hundred years ago, he fell in love with the man. Now, it happened just once again
Kattsis suddenly grabbed Zero by the corner of his clothes. Zero wanted to turn around in doubt. Kattsis held Zero's waist and didn't let him turn around
“Let me hold you for a while. Zero, father...”
Zero sneered and thought of sarcasm, but suddenly stopped. Through his clothes, he felt a hot wet feeling.
“Let me, Father... Don't leave me alone, don't leave me behind... This is the bond we left three hundred years ago. Don't cut it off! Please...”
The candle light shook, the silent night only emphasized the insect chant and the man silently sobs.
Afraid of being left behind, afraid of being forgotten, three hundred years ago, he asked him to be his father. He was even willing to give in to others for him. Just want to leave a blood tie that can never be erased with him
It's not only because it consumes a lot of power and energy, but also because it's responsible for parents and children to remain in bond.
In the long years, lovers may become strangers, but only the blood can never be cut off. Even death cannot cut it off.
“Your blood is running in my body I am your son, you are my only parent. The only father! Don't abandon me, will you? Please... As father and son... Don't abandon me.” Kattsis implored. If you can't be a partner, be a father and son!
When Zero told him that they were over, Kattsis felt as if he had died. He just wanted to stay with him, so that was good! As long as he is a little gentle as a father, and a little loving!
The red blood tears streamed from the eyes, vampires are not easy creature to cry, because they shed blood when they do!
Zero shivered a little. I don't know if it's because the blood essence of the Dark Emperor flowed more smoothly in his body. The blood bond actually affected his mood. The worry he felt about Kattsis these days is due to the blood bond, which is called "kinship". It's the only "feeling" that vampires believes in.
Kattsis's entreaties seemed pitiful, and Zero was a little soft hearted. Instead of pestering him anymore, he might as well become a father and son, Zero thought
So he opened Kattsis' arms and turned to him. Kattsis hung his head and trembled a little. He disappeared a few days later. His body was even thinner. Kattsis, the domineering person in his mind, had disappeared
”Don't call me father.” Zero said
Kattsis's body was stiff and his back looked fragile
“It's surprising to be called a father in front of such an old woman.” Zero said
Kattsis looked up at Zero, wondering and surprised. Zero looked at him with a smirk and didn't say much anymore. He doesn't like to say such things
“Then... Zero?” Kattsis looked at Zero excitedly. Zero threw the dishcloth that cleans the blood on Kattsis's face!
Zero went to the old woman, picked up the shawl and went back to him.
Zero thought, let her know tomorrow
Zero turned around and the clothes are pulled again. Zero turned around and looked at the old woman. The old woman says in a nightmare: “Good boy, thank you for accompanying me these days. If you want to leave, don't worry about me."
“Grandma...” Zero was surprised. She knew he wasn’t her grandson for a long time
The old woman sighed. “How can I not recognize my own baby's voice? Good boy, don't be sad, grandma is OK. "
Zero looked at the old woman, a little stupefied. This is the love one has for relatives?
Zero felt a little greedy for it...
Kattsis looked up at Zero. Just as he wanted to say something, there was an unusual breath in the air! It's the breath of their natural enemies! Kattsis is shocked!
The bats on the roof outside the door soared in fear a gust of wind blew by and the door opened with a click
Zero looked up, there's a werewolf at the door! The green and quiet eyes of the werewolf stare coldly at Zero, making Zero feel cold on his back
