Chapter 19 Starry Night Alliance (1)(2/2)
Jinni showed a puzzled expression.
Until she saw Thales, who had taken the last bite of food, put down his knife and fork, burped with satisfaction, and slipped off the chair.
What should we do? Looking at the meaningful glances of the three vampires across from him, Thales pondered this question.
However, he soon had the answer.
"Thank you for your protection, Jorah. With you here, I feel reassured about my safety." Thales said with a smile on his face, and pulled the hem of the swordsman leader's armor.
Jorah, who was laughed at when he poked his stomach to test whether the guards were stone men on the first morning of his arrival, was the leader of these guards, and he was also the one who arranged for the guards to come together.
Killed the attacking mercenary with one shot.
He knew that he could not directly wave away these loyal guards with authority and domineering authority like the protagonists of most Xiaobai novels. What's more, in order to protect themselves, they had just sacrificed eight of their most reliable brothers and comrades.
For the most direct enemy, it is a rare restraint not to directly draw a sword to kill each other. Although they are already allies in the agreement, they pretend that nothing has happened and wave their hands to repel their own people in front of outsiders. Although it is pleasant, it is just
It will chill the hearts of the guards.
Thales looked serious: "I need you to do me a favor."
"I will obey your instructions."
Although the expression was unclear, the respectful tone of the guard leader Jorah said everything. The swordsmen who can guard here are the most trusted and elite private soldiers of the Bright Star family. Although they were not told, based on the received information
mission and getting along with him in the past few days, the guards had already made a pretty good guess about the identity of the boy sent by Gilbert and Yodel themselves.
"Because of my previous experience, I do not trust the handsome Mr. Eastlund Corleone, and his beautiful but equally dangerous cousin, Ms. Laurana Corleone."
"They left me a lot of humiliation - their existence makes me troubled, worried and frightened." Thales frowned and gritted his teeth.
It's like they really have a life-and-death feud.
Eastlund and Laurana were both shocked and looked at the Grand Duchess behind them, but the latter remained calm.
"As long as you say a word, young sir," Jorah's eyes behind the helmet became more and more piercing, and the sword on his waist moved out an inch again, "our sword will be unsheathed for you."
Hearing this, the surrounding Terminator Swordsmen put their hands on the hilts of their swords, and their eyes became increasingly evil under the same hatred.
"Very good, I want their heads so much..." Thales stared at Eastlund with a cold face.
The swordsmen all took a step forward! Faintly surrounding the vampires.
Eastlund looked at the boy's expression and his heart skipped a beat.
Laurana showed a fierce expression and stretched her hands.
Isn't it? Eastlen was frightened for no reason and took a step back unconsciously, until the secret words of the Grand Duchess quietly sounded in his ears.
"Hold on, Issa," the childish voice could only be heard by vampires, but it made Eastlund feel reassured: "He's not going to fall out."
"...But because of the sacred covenant, I cannot harm them in my own house..."
"So, rush the other two people except this... little lady to the corridor, Jorah." Thales pouted, crossed his arms and said coldly.
"If they dare interrupt my private conversation with - Ms. Serena Corleone."
A cold light flashed in Thales's eyes, which made Eastlund feel uneasy. The time traveler turned his head and continued to face Jorah mercilessly: "Jorah, and everyone... you have legitimate reasons for revenge.
Avenged."
"Especially the blond one."
Eastlund's heart tightened.
"If our swords are unsheathed, we will not let you down." Jorah nodded with firm eyes and stretched out his arm towards the door of the study:
"Vampire, you heard me."
"Get out, the corridor is the place for you."
Eastlund, who looked angry, wanted to say something more, but was stopped by his cousin.
Laurana hid her astonishment just right, smiled mysteriously, bowed respectfully to the little loli Serena, and pulled Eastlen out of the study.
Gilbert outside the room smiled, and Jinny, who looked surprised, made way for the guards and vampires. The two groups stared at each other warily, walked out of the study, and continued to confront each other in the corridor far away.
stand up.
"Good day, Mr. Corleone and Ms. Corleone." Gilbert bowed neatly, his elegant mustache slightly raised: "I know that vampires have excellent hearing, and it is too easy to hear the movement in the study here -
—I wonder if eavesdropping would be considered 'interfering' with the private conversation between Mr. Thales and Ms. Corleone?"
The guard Jorah and the swordsmen on the side immediately came up with a solemn atmosphere: "You want to eavesdrop?"
Laurana's smile stopped suddenly, and Eastlen's face turned pale.
Seeing the vampires being forced out of the stairs by the angry swordsmen, Jinni was thoughtful.
So - Jinnie lowered her head silently - what Gilbert said is true, he is really a smart and steady boy.
It's just that he's a little too smart and steady.
Thales breathed out, and under the slightly strange look in the red-eyed little Lolita's eyes, he pushed the heavy study door closed, and thoughtfully closed the curtains to block out the sun.
The study room on the third floor has perfect sound insulation, and Gilbert assured him that even the hearing of vampires cannot penetrate it.
"Okay, time was urgent yesterday, now," Thales exhaled and said seriously: "Let's discuss the terms of the alliance agreement in detail."
"Especially about my blood and the part about you working for me."
"It's very good." Miss Serena, a little lolita whose speech was leaky due to her shrinkage, also nodded solemnly: "You might as well add your identity to the terms that need to be negotiated."
Thales' face showed confusion, but with the next words of the red-eyed little loli, his expression changed drastically.
Just listen to this person in the appearance of a little girl, the true heir of the Corleone family, the legal and orthodox ruler of the Hill of Pain, the Grand Duchess, Her Royal Highness Serena L.A. Corleone, said quietly with leaking teeth:
"In other words, there is a problem that Li's inheritance as a prince has not been recognized for a long time."
What they didn't know was that just as Thales cleverly avoided the irresolvable hatred between the guards and the vampires and started negotiating with Serena, Chris Corleone was hiding on the roof of the study on the third floor.
Behind the shadow of the fireplace chimney, avoiding the sun, with an odd posture and an expressionless face.
"Okay," the pale Chris Corleone twitched his ears and turned his head and said, "Our people are not fighting. I think His Highness and the kid have probably started talking."
"The two of us are in extreme situations anyway, so we don't have to maintain this awkward posture anymore, right?"
