MTL - I Am Louis XIV-Chapter 33 Mad Vampire Prince Amon

  Chapter 33 Mad Vampire Prince Amon

From the appearance, a man in his thirties is sitting on a high-backed chair waiting for the duke. This high-backed chair, completed in about the thirteenth century, is the most typical "pope" chair. That is to say, the backrest is extra wide and consists of three pointed arches, and then there are three pointed arches on each of the three sides formed by the legs and the legs, so that people can see a total of ten arches on the chair. Two arches, dozens of thin columns, curly lines above the armrests of the chairs, no armrests, the seat surface is covered with brocade cushions, and the four corners of the cushions are dangling with gold tassels, except for this chair , there is no other furniture in the room, only the drapery and tapestries, the wall panels are dark black, and on the hanging brass brackets, candles with a fragrant fragrance are burning.

   The Duke of La Rochefoucault saw that the other side extended his hand to him before he dared to step forward, and kissed the ring on that hand. The coldness from that hand made the Duke shiver uncontrollably.

"His Royal Highness..." the duke murmured, and the hand withdrew and waved, "I know what you're going to say," said the highness, "but no need, duke, no need, because we've been watching With you, my good sir," he said jokingly, "we know what you've done."

  Duke's knees suddenly became weak, and he knelt on the ground involuntarily, "Your Highness...Alas, Your Highness..." He pleaded: "I swear, I can swear to God..."

   He heard someone giggling before he realized he had said the wrong thing.

"Well," said the Highness, "did you really do something? I believe in you, duke. It's not easy to say how loyal you are, but to say you have such courage, I don't believe it. "

This sentence is humiliating to most men, but it is tantamount to an amnesty for the Duke of La Rochefoucault. He raised his head gratefully, but when he saw the strange red eyes He lowered his head involuntarily. "Raise your head." The Highness ordered, and he had to look at those eyes again, and he saw his own shadow reflected in those eyes, like the Duke of La Rochefoucault who was immersed in blood, The sight made him terrified and uncontrollably attracted.

"Come closer, duke," said the voice, and the duke immediately obeyed, moving his knees, almost touching the footrest of the chair, and he could clearly see the relief on the panel with four oak leaves and doves , and the lily, the four-leaf ornament symbolizing the four Gospels; the dove and the lily represent the Holy Spirit and holiness respectively - how ironic that such a solemn and sacred chair is occupied by a vampire.

Amon, the patriarch of the Zmish clan in the Demon Party, according to the traditions of the blood clan, he is the prince and the head of all the vampires of the Zmish family. The Duke of La Rochefoucault was able to keep his life because of his submission to him. Youth, with beautiful appearance, strong physique and flexible skills, and attractive to women and even some men. It is precisely because of this that Amon does not think that he can betray himself, because compared with money, honor and faith, what he can give to the Duke is much more important and precious to the Duke.

   "You didn't betray us," Amon said, "Then I can only think so, you kept delaying your meeting with me because you couldn't fulfill my request."

   "Yes," whispered the Duke.

   "You don't have to do this," Amon said with a smile, although the dark creatures, including the secret clan and neutral clan in the blood clan, think that the Zmish family in the demon clan are all lunatics. But purely from the appearance and attitude, as long as you don't look at those red eyes, no one will think that this gentle, always smiling good gentleman will be an extremely cruel and cruel monster.

   In fact, even the vampires in the Zmish family died in the hands of Amon. The Duke may not know, but he can feel it occasionally - the desire for power makes him unable to refuse Amon's gift, even if the other party wants him to do more and more dangerous things, "You know that I have always been tolerant to you." Amon said: "And sometimes I miss you very much. Although you are not my child, there are not many people around me who can discuss literature with me."

   He paused: "Some are too old-fashioned, some are too frivolous."

   "I am honoured, Your Highness," said the Duke.

"I know you've always been cautious," Amon said, "maybe you just don't want to come to see me with empty hands, but it doesn't matter, Duke, even if you just tell me some interesting rumors, I'd love to hear it. "

   "What kind of rumors would you like to hear?"

   "How about your king, Louis XIV?"

   "All I can say is he's still a kid."

   "Inner, or body?"

   "Body," said the Duke. "He is still young, but already a lion."

   "That sounds amazing," Amon said. "There are rumors that he hasn't received a formal education."

   "Some people seem to be born to be kings without studying," said the Duke.
