Chapter 136
Jiang Yan said to Angus, "From now on, you must always follow me. Wherever I go, you go."
What's with this confinement? They might as well be tied together. As for who follows whom, it's all the same.Vissit (.)c.om for updates
Angus didn't know the inside story, but in any case, this was a sign of their relationship progressing further.
He thought Jiang Yan was a kind little angel, granting him this right to put his mind at ease. But she didn't know that he was originally a devil, insatiable, and once he grabbed hold, he would never let go.
So, darling, you'd better be truly prepared for this.
Thus, both of them thought they had gained the upper hand, clinging to each other in mutual understanding.
Forced by reality, Jiang Yan's plan to conquer the human world was put on hold. As the history of war had long passed, people's thoughts had become more civilized and enlightened.
Humans were full of admiration and longing for the ancient, mysterious, long-lived vampires. As a result, they set up various courses about vampires, and vampire-related elements could be seen on every street corner.
If they really discovered the existence of vampires, they might even enthusiastically rush over, wanting to know if they could be marked by a vampire and join a vampire family.
Because it was said that vampires were all extremely good-looking, each with pale, cold skin.
But Jiang Yan still frequently visited the human world, bringing Angus along, secretly watching television through windows of houses, or secretly plucking a date from a tree, not to eat, but as a gift for little mice. Ah, just for fun.
So, when night fell, people would occasionally see two bats flying across the night sky, one big and one small. The big one was black, looking strong and powerful, while the small one was white, extremely cute and beautiful.
Jiang Yan and Angus spent their days flying freely, to the point where Roderick and Abaniel had even more complaints about him. Because a certain someone wasn't doing his job, leaving all the work to them.
But Jiang Yan and Angus still held their wedding, in the only church in the Vampire Domain. From the promiscuous nature of vampires, one could tell how unwelcome the church was here.
Moreover, the wedding ceremony was for the daughter of the Vampire Lord and Prince, which made the impact of this wedding extremely grand.
Countless vampires were moved by their sincere love. As a result, later on, it became popular in the Vampire Clan to hold wedding ceremonies with loved ones. To what extent? A vampire might hold several weddings in one day because they would fall in love with several people within a day.
Vampires indeed had extremely long lifespans, especially ones like Angus. So he was very grateful that his long life gave him the opportunity to find his love.
But Jiang Yan was different. Her father was Prince Roderick, true, but her mother was human. Uncle Abaniel had actually adopted her mother as a sister.
Even though Jiang Yan possessed both bat and human forms, she was still affected in many ways, such as her lifespan.
Growing old slowly in front of a partner who could remain young forever was undoubtedly a torturous thing.
All of the Vampire Clan's secret medicines were used to no avail, because she was a human girl.
Roderick learned for the first time how fragile and short human life was, and also tasted for the first time the bitter pain of losing a lover.
All his hopes and regrets were concentrated on that little baby blowing milk bubbles, a white, soft, weak, and adorable little baby in human form.
Having witnessed human mortality, Roderick became extremely cautious and protective of her. The little one's joyful life in the castle full of vampires was his only solace at that time.
Fortunately, one day, before she turned ten, the little girl grew sharp teeth and even transformed into a bat form. Although it was white, unlike theirs, it was still a welcome sight. White was fine too; at least with vampire blood, she wouldn't approach death so quickly. A human lifespan was truly fleeting compared to a vampire's – like a cicada's life to a human.
Abaniel, the girl's friend in the Vampire Clan, witnessed all of this. As a result, he showered the little one with affection.
Roderick and Abaniel had assumed Angus would live alone like them, allowing time to heal their wounds. This was already the best way to commemorate a deceased love, given vampires' exceedingly long lives.
But Angus didn't.
He relinquished his position as Vampire Lord early on to accompany Jiang Yan on her final journey. At that time, Angus had acquired a large collection of coffin designs for Jiang Yan to choose from.
He sat in a chair nearby, extravagantly declaring he would encrust her coffin with jewels. Hearing this, Jiang Yan covered her face, her heart fluttering.
Indeed, you can fall in love with the same person countless times. This is what love is.
...
Jiang Yan passed away on an overcast day she particularly loved. Angus, as usual, tried to wake her for a walk.
He couldn't rouse her. A vast emptiness suddenly overwhelmed Angus.
He stopped calling and quietly crouched down, counting her eyelashes. He was too panicked to know what to do, just wanting something to distract him from the realization.
But he couldn't deceive himself forever. When Roderick came in to check, Angus finally broke down, covering his tearful eyes as he trembled.
Afterwards, Angus silently placed her in the coffin and took care of all the arrangements.
Then, he chose eternal slumber.
After experiencing happiness with you, being alone became an unbearably terrifying prospect.
My love, you know I can't bear it. So, I'm coming to find you. Please keep me company.
