Chapter 125 The Heart Doesn’t Lie (9)
Neve didn't eat dinner in her room that night because she was starving.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside.
Neve looked sideways and guessed it was Carlos bringing dinner.
"Ms. Neve, His Royal Highness the Count invites you to dinner." Carlos opened the lock on the door and said to Neve in the room with a cold expression.
"Okay, Mr. Carlos." Neve nodded. She felt a little disappointed when she saw that there was no food cart beside Carlos. After all, she felt that she was so hungry that she could eat a cow.
Carlos only had superficial respect for Neve; he didn't like Neve because she wasn't ladylike.
Carlos said coldly, "Then please follow me."
Niv didn't care about his attitude, as long as he could have food to eat.
Inside the restaurant.
The long dining table was decorated with vibrant red roses, candlesticks carved with birds held rose-scented candles, exquisite gilded tableware shone with golden light, and paintings with a rich artistic atmosphere hung on the walls. It was clear that the owner of this villa had no shortage of money.
Seedes, dressed in elegant, refined attire, accentuated his proud and noble demeanor. He sat at the head of the table, and to his right stood a woman in white, her face obscured by a white cloth. The woman was slender, her hands folded on her stomach. The cloth covering her head was embroidered with large white roses.
Neve felt that Sidse was a vampire who loved roses very much.
At this time, Neve remembered that when she took Ellie away during the day, she only noticed that there were basically no green plants outside the villa. She thought that this villa was just an ordinary small Western-style building.
Only now did she realize that the streets around the villa were part of the Egbert family's property. The fact that it looked ordinary was probably just to avoid attracting the attention of vampire hunters.
Neve made a bold guess: Perhaps, this town belongs to the Egbert family.
"Your Highness the Earl, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Gareth family is coming." Carlos received the message from his subordinates using a bat. He unfolded the small note brought by the bat, and said respectfully to Sidse after reading it.
Sids was a little surprised, with a hint of amusement in his tone, "Oh~ His Royal Highness the Prince actually woke up from his sleep, and the first thing he did after waking up was to come to Egbert's house. This is really interesting." He knew this prince of the Gareth family. It was said that he had the ability to predict the future and was very powerful.
Earlier, because of Cedric's existence, the Gareth family almost overshadowed the original ancestor.
However, the First Ancestor was magnanimous and only punished one elder who supported the Gareth family. All other vampires who wanted to support Cedric were dealt with by Cedric with ruthless means.
In order to relieve the worries of the First Ancestor, Cedric did not hesitate to make himself an outsider in the eyes of other families.
If so many people came to support Sidse to ascend to the pinnacle of power, Sidse thought, he would definitely choose to stand in that supreme position.
But he is only an earl now, and it will take a long time for him to become a prince.
"Let's arrange for someone to greet the prince." Sidse was a little distressed at being interrupted during dinner. He had originally planned to use this opportunity to deal with Neve's stubborn temper.
Unfortunately, I can only put it aside for now.
Outside the gate, a luxurious carriage was parked.
A dark red carpet stretched from the villa's gate all the way to the carriage, with bodyguards and maids standing on both sides of the carpet.
The coachman, wearing a black robe with a lapel, got off the carriage first, opened the door of the carriage with a swift movement, and then stood aside with his head lowered and bent over.
Then the tall man got off the carriage gracefully, followed by a handsome young man.
Sidse walked towards Cedric with a smile, followed by Carlos in his butler uniform.
"Your Highness, good evening. I am Sidse Egbert. It is an honor for you to come to the Egbert family." Sidse bowed slightly and saluted Cedric.
Everyone behind him followed suit and saluted.
Afterwards, Sidse took Cedric and Gu Chang into the villa.
In the living room——
Cedric just told Sids that he wanted a guest room and that he was just coming to rest for one night.
In response, Siddes arranged the largest and most luxurious room for the prince.
As for Gu Chang who followed Cedric, Sidse thought that Gu Chang was Cedric's blood slave or servant.
However, Cedric has never had any gossip, and it is hard not to make Sidse think too much when he brings a handsome young man with him at this time.
"Why are you looking at me?" Gu Chang asked. He stood on the soft, thick carpet, and Cedric's gaze seemed to be able to see into his soul.
Cedric raised his eyebrows slightly, and took off the black mask on his face with one hand, revealing a face that looked like it was carefully carved by a god.
"I want to see when you turn into a rabbit." Cedric sat on the sofa with his legs apart, leaning lazily on the sofa, his eyes half closed, his gaze always on Gu Chang.
Gu Chang, “······” Forget it, just watch it if you want.
He sat down on the single sofa and asked Cedric, "Who is the person who greeted you?"
Although Gu Chang knew that Sidse was the male protagonist, he sometimes had to pretend not to know.
Cedric smiled faintly. "He's Sids Egbert, the eldest son of the Egbert family." A man of Cedric's status would have everything arranged for him. No one would be so bold as to ask him such a silly question.
But since the person asking this question was Gu Chang, he wouldn't feel bored. On the contrary, he preferred to listen to Gu Chang talk more, so that he could better understand his speaking habits and the little movements his body made while speaking.
"Hein, how much do you know about the curse on you?" Cedric slowed down his tone and took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"A heartless person will be like snowflakes in winter, melting away when spring comes... unless he finds true love." Gu Chang repeated what Seraphina said. His amber eyes were like stars. When he looked at Cedric, one could vaguely see the deep love hidden in them.
Love?
Cedric realized this word, and his eyes flickered slightly. "Can a heartless person find true love?" He stood up, walked in front of Gu Chang, and stared deeply into his eyes. "Do you have many lovers?"
Gu Chang:······He doesn’t know.
The original owner's memory can only be revealed after the curse is lifted, and he can know why the original owner was cursed.
"I don't remember. I only remember what happened when I was a rabbit." Gu Chang looked up at him. Gu Chang knew what a lover was like. Seeing Cedric like this, he knew what Cedric was going to do.
The fragile neck appeared in Cedric's eyes, his eyes darkened, and his big hand gently lifted Gu Chang's chin. The warm body temperature that only humans have made Cedric feel a little strange.
As a prince, he has the blood of the ancestor in his body and rarely needs to suck blood.
It was only after close contact with Gu Chang that he felt the desire for this person again.
"Maybe you are a cunning rabbit, good at using your innocent eyes to deceive me." Cedric said in a deep voice, he leaned over and closed the distance between them.
"You can feel my heartbeat, and feel whether I am nervous or not when I speak." Gu Chang raised his hand and grabbed Cedric's hand, placing his hand on his heart, with a hint of temptation in his tone.
Gu Chang did this with the intention of teasing Cedric.
Cedric didn't expect Gu Chang to do this. He was slightly stunned, then he curled his lips and smiled.
"Are you trying to seduce me, Hailain?" He said, his thin lips slightly touching the corner of Gu Chang's lips. Cedric had always been able to suppress this desire, but at this moment, he was willing to let himself fall into the vortex of desire.
The ambiguous atmosphere was constantly rising, and the pulling between them made Gu Chang's ears red.
The system sighed. Every time this happened, it knew what was going to happen next. It pulled out a half-finished TV series and suddenly realized that if it were Wei Zhuangxue from the first world, she would definitely be delighted to see this scene.
For some reason, it always thinks of people from the past recently.
They are obviously just people from the Mary Sue world, but there are thousands of human information in its database.
But he could immediately recall the people from those worlds that he and Gu Chang had experienced.
The system stopped my wandering thoughts. It was just a small system. The host's mission was what it should care about.
