"Then where do we sleep?" Yu Ci leaned on her shoulder, her voice slightly hoarse, as if she was mumbling, it was not very clear, and the words seemed to be sticky together.

"Where do you want to sleep?" Ling carried her on his back and walked forward with steady steps. There was no bump at all, only slight ups and downs, as if he was leaning on a rocking chair.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do..." She rubbed her cheek lightly, closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Ling Wei thought for a moment about the so-called "When in Rome, do as the Romans do", then he paused slightly and then jumped up towards the tall building of the ancient castle with a tiptoe.

……

After waking up from a long, dreamless sleep full of security, Yu Ci finally opened her eyes. She could not see anything around her, and it was as dim as a room with the curtains drawn.

Zero's arms were around my waist, and if I listened closely, I could hear my heartbeat, steady and slow, like the movement of a clock...

She turned over slightly and her elbow hit something, so she was so scared that she immediately pulled it back.

Hmm? Is this bed against the wall?

She reached out and touched, not only did she feel the barrier behind her, but also the lid on top.

This familiar feeling, this familiar space...

She's sleeping in a coffin now?

Ling, who was awakened by her action, opened his eyes in the dark, reached out and opened the coffin that wrapped the two of them, and the morning light from outside the window came in.

She helped Yu Ci sit up, and they bumped into the morning light head-on, dazzled by the sight.

Yu Ci raised her hand to block the light. She smiled and said jokingly: "If we were really vampires, we would have turned to ashes by now."

"This is..." She looked around and recognized that this was the attic on the upper floors of the castle, which contained some of Helles' precious assets, such as porcelain, gold, glass, silk, calligraphy and paintings, and statues...

Because there are too many types of items, no matter how they are arranged, there is a feeling of confusion, so we simply arrange them in an artistic way.

Silk and satin covered the marble sculpture, hiding the face modeled after the Rose Prince, like an angel's veil; porcelain was not easily damaged by moisture, so it was placed in the corners and on the tables of the sandalwood furniture like furniture...

The half-finished picture frame shows the objects on the table, placed not far from the furniture.

They are now lying in what should be Helles's spare coffin...

After all, it is impossible for His Royal Highness the Prince to have only one coffin.

"Why did you sleep in the coffin? Where are they now?" Yu Ci asked hurriedly, not forgetting her business.

"You said yesterday that when in Rome, do as the Romans do..." Ling raised his eyebrows as he looked at the coffin beneath him, indicating that this was exactly what you wanted.

"They are hibernating now. The weather is fine today and there are almost no awakened creatures in the castle." She took Yu Ci's hand and stood up, looking down from the top floor of the castle facing the sunlight.

It is a rare day without fog in the mountains. From this angle, you can clearly see the town below the mountain. People are drying their quilts or blankets on their roofs or balconies.

Like little flowers blooming.

"This is the first time I see the town at the foot of the mountain from this angle." Yu Ci came to the window and leaned forward, almost to the brink of losing balance, like a shaky bird with broken wings, with her hands opened outward to welcome the baptism.

"When it's cloudy, you can go out because the mountains are filled with fog, blocking your view." Yu Ci explained the reason.

At the moment the last note fell, the body completely leaned outwards, like a falling kapok flower, with an unquestionable determination.

Ling reached out to pull him, and was dragged out of the window together. The two of them landed lightly on the wind.

"It seems like there is really no one here." Yu Ci felt that the surroundings were as quiet as death, as if a war had broken out and everyone fled overnight.

Only the lonely castle and the thorns protecting it were left.

The roses seemed a little wilted under the scorching sun. Compared to the daytime, they were obviously more beautiful and gorgeous at night.

"Let's go and see what they are doing..." Yu Ci hooked Ling's paw and ran into the castle. After pushing open the heavy door, an emerald velvet carpet was revealed, on which was woven the iconic icon of the Rose Castle. There were countless thorny rose bushes, but not a single bouquet of flowers blooming on them.

Only thorns.

The two of them trotted to the maids' resting place, and after passing through the door, they saw their simple little coffins.

It seems that vampires particularly like to decorate their coffins beautifully. Even if the body of the coffin is plain, they will still dress it up as best they can.

Some will wrap themselves with silk and pack themselves into a beautiful gift box, while others will engrave patterns on them, fill them with various pigments, and draw their favorite patterns...

But not everyone is like this. For example, the room that Yu Cixin broke into contained a coffin that looked a little more expensive. There were no decorative patterns or drawings around it.

But there are a lot of small nails with pieces of paper notes nailed on them.

Yu Ci took a closer look.

[March 1st, the Lord awakens, all the furniture in the castle is cleaned in a high-temperature steam oven, all the maids are retrained in attitude and cheer up...]

[On March 2, Lord Kahn ordered the carpet to be replaced, the clothes to be cleaned again, and new clothes to be tailor-made for the lord...]

……

The handwriting was very familiar, and Yu Ci's lips curled up unconsciously. It was the room of the head maid, Miss Jasmine.

Miss Jasmine has always been a very hard-working and diligent vampire. She strives to do her best in everything. When working with her, we cooperate well with each other, which reduces a lot of unnecessary trouble. She is a very competent head maid.

Later, after she "accidentally" got together with Helles, Yu Ci also taught her how to manage the castle, and she gradually took over and became the next housekeeper of the castle.

She also gave the other party a small cup of blood, which raised her bloodline to that of a marquis.

Ling silently stared at the smile on Yu Ci's lips. Of course, she remembered this head maid. She was a very responsible and reliable vampire...

The corners of her lips were slightly straightened, and he stared at the happy curve of her lips with his eyes almost staring to tears.

Seeing that Yu Ci had no intention of leaving, he raised his hand and held Yu Ci's hand, "Let's go and see them."

Then he pulled the person out of the room with a little force, not noticing the wicked smile in Yu Ci's eyes. He had always been jealous of Miss Jasmine, how come after such a long time, he still liked to be jealous of her.

"Okay~" She followed Ling and saw that her complexion had improved visibly. She reached out and poked the corner of her lips, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

She spoke in a firm tone, not giving Zero a chance to refute. She glanced at her eyebrows and her expression became darker.

"Yeah." Zero turned around and stopped.

Yu Ci rushed straight into her arms, staggering, with a smile in his eyes, "Are you really going to eat it?"

"It's more than just jealousy..." He lifted his cheek with his other hand, rubbed it lightly and then let go, expressing his thoughts at the moment in a subtle and restrained way.

Yu Ci blinked twice, it's dangerous~
