Chapter 7 The first drop of blood
The Keller Castle at night is quiet and majestic. The towering spire of the castle has a strong Gothic style, standing in the night with claws and claws, like a forbidden place where the legendary princess is held.

However, there is indeed a princess in Keller Castle—Hecilia is pulling her skirt, showing her slender legs, walking slowly on the endless grass, and behind her is a black tall silhouette.

"Qi Zhi, shouldn't you humans go to bed at this time? Are you not sleepy?"

"No, I am the butler of your Highness, and I will always be by your side."

"Oh." Xicilia pursed her lips and continued to look around.

At this time, everything fell into a deep sleep, and even the lake was calm, but Xicilia liked it more and more. The moon is so bright, the air is so fresh, the lake is clear and transparent, and even the grass under her feet is green and soft. , Sicilia looked a little itchy.

She glanced back secretly, and found that Qi Zhi was looking into the distance, as if he didn't notice her.Cecilia put down the skirt she was carrying, and secretly took off the small high heels she was stepping on under the cover of the long skirt.Her skin is delicate, even if the shoes are made of soft leather, after walking for a while, her high heels are still sore, and she really wants to really touch the grass under her feet.

It may be that the temperature dropped at night, and the grass blades were covered with dew. When Xicilia stepped on it, she felt the tiny drops of water on it. She didn't feel cold, but she was just curious about this feeling. The little doll who doesn't understand is full of curiosity about the world.

"Give me the shoes."

"Huh?" Cecilia didn't recover for a while.

"Give me the shoes, I'll hold them for you."

How did he know... Xicilia muttered and handed him the high-heeled shoes in her hand, a beautiful blush appeared on her cheeks. To be honest, this is really not what a lady did. If the people in the castle know Yes, there will definitely be a fuss, but this person doesn't seem to respond?
Xicilia looked over from the corner of her eye again. Qi Zhi was wearing a black suit with a silver-gray vest inside, which was very stylish, but the pair of light green shoes in his hand destroyed the overall sense of harmony.He didn't seem to notice, and he blinked at Xicilia sideways, "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you."

Being caught straight, Xicilia turned her head a little embarrassed, "Then what about the squirrel you said you wanted to show me?"

"Squirrel, Your Highness can go and have a look under that tree."

"On the tree?"

Before Qi Zhi could answer, Xicilia ran over quickly, holding the hem of her skirt.Seeing Xicilia's back quickly disappearing into a small black dot, Qi Zhi was stunned for a rare moment.Then he couldn't help laughing, he almost forgot that this pure-blooded princess held in the palm of the hand by the blood clan, even if she didn't show it normally, her power was passed down from generation to generation along with the blood.

Qi Zhi followed his little highness calmly, with an elegant posture, but it was amazing that his speed was not slow at all.When he arrived under the tree, Xicilia had already been sitting on the tree for a while.

She complained, "You are so slow."

"I'm sorry." There was always a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, without any discomfort.

Seeing Qi Zhi apologize so quickly, Xicilia felt a little guilty. After all, he was just an ordinary human being.

"Then, where is the squirrel you mentioned, I didn't see it."

Cecilia propped her hands on the branch she was sitting on, her delicate little feet dangling in the air, she was not afraid at all.

"Shh, they are very timid, don't scare them away."

Hearing this, Xicilia lowered her volume, feeling a little nervous being taken over by Qi Zhi, "Is that squirrel secretly watching us from hiding... ah."

Feeling that something fell on her head, Xicilia held her forehead and looked up cautiously.Meet a pair of sparkling little eyes.She has a small and exquisite face, a small pink mouth, and a few brown stripes on her face, like a painted face on a Beijing opera stage.The taupe hair on the body is as smooth as if it has been oiled, and a big fluffy tail is upturned, which looks very beautiful.

Xicilia looked at Qi Zhi with some surprise, and said in a breathy voice, "Is this the little squirrel?" Seeing him nodding with a smile, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.

Hearing the sound of "咻", the squirrel that was still standing on the branch jumped down, jumped onto Xicilia's lap, grabbed the pine cone that fell on her skirt, but did not run away immediately , holding a full pine cone in her small paws, staring at her with her head tilted.

Cecilia was greatly encouraged, and slowly spread her hands, placing them in front of the squirrel.

The little squirrel blinked, as if judging whether the person in front of him was malicious, then wagged its tail and jumped onto Cecilia's palm.

"Qi Zhi, Qi Zhi, have you seen it!"

"Well, Your Highness, it seems to like you very much."

Qi Zhi was actually a little surprised. He came to look for the squirrel with the attitude of trying it out, but he didn't expect to find one.Moreover, the squirrel is cautious and timid by nature, and even took the initiative to contact Xicilia, which had to make Qi Zhi refresh his understanding of Xicilia again.

Cecilia didn't think so much, her heart was filled with joy and surprises, she had never been in contact with creatures like little squirrels, to her, these cute and lively creatures belonged to the distant and The mystery of the human world.After such a trip, Qi Zhi's weight in her heart became more and more important. She looked at Qi Zhi with eyes full of awe, feeling that this weak human being seemed to understand everything.

Noticing that the sky was getting brighter, Qi Zhi reminded, "Your Highness, it's getting late, it's time to go back."

Xicilia sighed and stroked the little squirrel's furry head, "You go home quickly, I should go back too." She is not afraid of the sun, but she knows that her brother should be worried if she doesn't go back.When I came out, I promised to play only for a while, but I forgot the time when I was busy, and I don't know if I can see it again next time.

"Then I'm gone, you have to remember me." Regardless of whether the squirrel could understand or not, Xicilia rubbed the squirrel's ears seriously, then stood up and wanted to jump off, but for a long while, she didn't. move.

"Well, Qi Zhi, can you follow me?"

When I came up, I was very courageous, without any fear. When I went down, I felt that the height was not low. It would hurt to jump directly. She has never tried it, so she doesn't know the severity.

"Jump, I'll catch you, I'm here, I won't fall." Qi Zhi opened his arms, his thin body made Xicilia feel reliable, maybe because Qi Zhi helped her really Found the squirrel?Who knows.

With a flash in front of his eyes, Qi Zhi felt as if he had received a treasure that fell from the sky.

"The trip is over, landed safely, welcome back."

Xicilia opened her eyes, wrapped her arms around Qi Zhi's neck, looked at him with a smile, her rosy lips curled up, revealing her white teeth. "Then can I still take your flight next time?"

"You are always welcome."

Laughter like silver bells scattered on the silent lawn.

Cecilia felt that she had never been so happy, and when she was lying on the bed after washing, she was still recalling what she had just seen and heard.

"Brother, you don't know, that little squirrel is lying on my shoulder. Its eyes are black and bright, like a beautiful gem. Its fur is also very soft, and its tail is big and fluffy. I touched it, and it She ran away shyly, but came back to touch me after a while..."

"I like it so much? It's just a squirrel. I'll have someone catch it and give you a cage to keep it?"

Axibourn brushed away the thin hair that fell on Cecilia's forehead with his hands, and there was a smile in her light green eyes, which were exactly the same as hers.He liked Cecilia so bright and lively, fresher than the prettiest roses in his garden.

Cecilia shook her head, her hair was messed up again after being combed by Ashburn just now, she didn't care, "It lives so freely outside, I'll just go to see it next time, Qi Zhi promised to take me go."

The movements of Axibourn's hands paused, and he looked at Qi Zhi who was standing beside him silently, "Oh, that's it." His tone was long and unclear.

Then he attached himself to Xicilia's forehead and gently printed a kiss, "Okay, whatever my little princess says, go to sleep, it's almost dawn."

When passing by Qi Zhi, Ashibon gave him a faint look, Qi Zhi smiled and nodded without any extra emotion, like a butler who is not competent.

Xicilia looked at the back of Ashburn leaving and blinked, sensitively aware of his emotional changes, "Qi Zhi, brother, he doesn't seem very happy. Does he not like me going out?"

Qi Zhi covered the bright lampstand with a cover for Xicilia, "No, Your Highness is thinking too much."

He took out a snow-white towel, wiped his hands carefully, even under the nails, and stretched it out in front of Xicilia, "I haven't eaten today, is your highness hungry?"

Under the dim light, the slender hands were so beautiful that they seemed to be carved from fine white jade.Cecilia's throat rolled, and a feeling of reluctance suddenly appeared.Although the wound bitten by the pure blood healed quickly, but she really couldn't stop talking about such a perfect handicraft.

What's more, the vitality of pure blood is tenacious, and Qi Zhi's blood is very special. In fact, Xicilia doesn't get hungry that fast. She is really afraid that if she accidentally sucks too much, this weak human will be hurt by herself.

"It's okay, I'm not hungry yet, you go down first and have a good rest."

Qi Zhi didn't miss the longing that flashed in her eyes. He felt that his calm heart had been poked by someone, and there was a wave in an inconspicuous corner. He couldn't help but reach out and touch Hecilia. Smooth long hair, "Okay, tell me when you're hungry."

When leaving the room, Cecilia stopped him.

"and many more."

"Ok?"

"You haven't said good night to me yet."

Qi Zhi stood at the door, his eyes were so gentle that water dripped out, "Good night".

　Strictly speaking, it should say "good day?"
