"Your name is Lily." The magnetic male voice said slowly and sadly, "This is what your mother named you before she left."
The blond baby girl in the man's arms blinked in confusion and stretched out her little hand to touch the tear stains on the man's chin. The man smiled slightly, grabbed the baby girl's naughty little hand and said softly: "You are as naughty as your mother, but I hope
You must be as kind as your mother."
The baby girl giggled immediately after being held by her little hand. When the man saw the baby girl's happy look, he also smiled.
As time goes by, the baby girl who was in the man's arms has grown into a lively and cheerful girl, but the relationship between father and daughter has gradually become indifferent.
"Oh~ Isn't this the little girl from the liar Ottoville family?" Lily was struggling to carry the plaster statue that was half her body taller towards the art hall when she suddenly heard a joking voice coming from behind her.
Come.
Lily gently placed the plaster statue on the bench aside, turned around and looked at the visitor, and saw a man in a tuxedo leaning against the wall, elegantly holding a goblet and sipping red wine.
Lily's face darkened for a while. Over the years, she had heard a lot of rumors about her father within the family. It was said that her father and his eldest relative were originally a couple because her father could not bear that she could not stay together forever.
Because of the pain, he actively chose to let his lover transform him into a vampire. However, perhaps because of his thin bloodline, after his father was transformed into a vampire, he lost the memory of the human period like himself, and he was just like a passerby with his former lover.
As for her father's eldest relative, she originally had many suitors in the clan. They maliciously slandered her and said that her father only deliberately approached her to win her heart in order to deceive her identity as a vampire. However, she had met her father's eldest relative several times before.
But I haven't seen her recently. In my impression, she always had a hint of melancholy, and her pitiful look made Lily's sense of her father suddenly drop a lot. In addition, her father always kept her in a
I don't know what was going on at home, so the relationship between father and daughter became less and less friendly day by day.
"Sir Taylor, if you continue to slander my father like this, please forgive me for requesting a duel from the elders of the clan." Lily lowered her head slightly and said in a moderately humble tone, "If I remember correctly, you should be in your tailor shop now.
Not here to hang out in an art museum."
Sir Taylor's face was a little gloomy, and he squinted his eyes slightly and sneered: "Of course I don't need a junior to worry about where I am, but being in the same room with an ignorant brat has spoiled my mood..."
Lily didn't listen to Sir Taylor's words of weakness behind her, but once again picked up the plaster statue that was half her height from the bench beside her and walked towards the exhibition hall.
The reason why Sir Taylor backed down was because what Lily just said was not just talk. Someone had made rude remarks some time ago and was defeated by Lily in a duel. Most members of the Toledo family are not good at fighting because most of them were artists during their lifetimes.
, if there is hope compared to painting, sculpture, fabrics, etc., compared to swordsmanship, even if Lily is small, they can't win. You must know that Lily, who has been enduring the strange looks from her tribe, is holding back her energy to learn swordsmanship, and after progress,
It almost amazed her swordsmanship teacher.
"Mr. Fitch, I have delivered what you asked for." After entering the exhibition hall, Lily gently placed the plaster statue on the table, patted her skirt and turned to the side of the blonde who was wearing a monocle and looking at the oil painting carefully.
The middle-aged man said, "Is there anything else you need help with?"
"Oh! It's Lily!" The middle-aged man was obviously too fascinated. He was startled by Lily's sudden appearance. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and did not destroy the oil painting. "Thank you for your hard work." After that, the middle-aged man continued.
He took out a package and handed it to Lily carefully with both hands.
"A little gift." The middle-aged man's smile softened Lily's gloomy expression. He took the gift and carefully put it away. He lifted his skirt and saluted, "Then I'll go back first."
In modern society, many branches of the Vampire Clan have their own means of making money, and many of these means involve gray areas. The Toledo family's means of making money are relatively upright, because the members of the Toledo family
Most of them are artists. They will cooperate with human art museums and help them make high-quality imitations for display in museums. Most of the items on display in museums are fakes, and the authentic ones will be properly kept.
They are not inferior to the real ones, and many of them are even imitated by the original author himself. Let’s not talk about tourists who don’t understand art at all. Even experts who understand art can’t find many flaws. Even if they are found, it is because of the brushwork and ink.
Reasons like that...
The Toledo family also has many private art galleries. In addition, the Toledo family also operates art-related shops such as clothing and musical instruments. For example, Sir Taylor just now runs
For a handmade clothing store, thanks to his superb design and sewing skills, the clothes sold at surprisingly high prices.
Lily is usually busy working for these family elders who are addicted to art and making huge profits in exchange for remuneration to support the family. Her abominable father locks herself in the room every day. Not only does she not make money, but she also makes a lot of money.
Although Lily would not starve to death due to the amount of money spent, Lily couldn't stand it if this continued.
"Mr. Fitch is really generous..." Lily opened the package in the corner. Inside the package was a box of exquisite desserts and a check. She had helped save money in the family for more than ten years, and her own little treasury was full of money.
Have a lot of savings.
"Miss...you...you're back?" It was close to early morning when Lily returned home, and the noise she made when she came back woke up the already drowsy little girl next to her, who was only five or six years old.
The little guy's name is Gina. She is an orphan that her father picked up from outside some time ago. She is currently working part-time as a maid and her own emergency blood food.
"Well, father is still in the room?" Although it was a question, it was in a declarative tone. Looking at Lily's somewhat gloomy eyes, Gina shrank her head and responded timidly: "Yes... you...
Do you want something to eat?”
Lily sighed, shook her head and said, "No... I'm a little tired today. I'm going to rest first. Gina, you can go back and rest too."
Gina breathed a sigh of relief and slipped back into the room as if she was afraid that Lily would regret it. Although she was an orphan living on the streets, she had heard stories about vampires. Although she was not eaten as she imagined, she was actually eaten.
Being taken care of by these vampires, Gina is still very afraid of Ottoville and Lily... From Gina's point of view: they feel as cold as corpses to the touch. The owner here keeps himself locked in the house all day long,
She is so mysterious that she doesn’t know what horrible things she is doing, and the owner’s daughter goes out at dusk every day and doesn’t come back until early in the morning. She must be out hunting humans, right? Although I am safe and sound, there is a possibility that it is them.
She dislikes herself for being small and skinny, so she eats the fat ones she raised. Isn't that what the old witch in the candy house in the Grimm's fairy tales did?
And many years later, after Lily learned about Gina's thoughts, she was so happy that she rolled on the bed, and then hugged the computer to watch the new show. Speaking of which, the reason why Lily entered the house was because she and Gina watched animation together.
After so many years, Gina has graduated from the second grade of middle school, while Lily has fallen deeper and deeper into the late second grade of middle school... In the end, because Ottoville did not agree with Lily's hobbies, Lily moved out angrily. After moving out
After that, Lily became more and more homebound. She originally went to help out the clan, but later she completely lived a life of a loser waiting to die... I have to say that if you throw away something like integrity, you can't get it back...
