The Vampire Marquis

Prefac. 2

“Catherine, talk to me, don’t leave me so quickly, I have been looking for you for twenty years…” Jiska choked and held her already cold hands tightly.

She shook her head and tried her best to withdraw her hand.

He was stunned for a moment, noticing that her blue eyes, which were opened again, were flashing with two clusters of anger, “Catherine?”

She took a deep breath and said in a tense tone: “I hate you!”

“Catherine…” His face turned pale.

She glared at him with gritted teeth, “I hate you, if twenty years ago, you were willing to let me become a vampire, I wouldn’t have to run away from you, and I wouldn’t have to fear the passage of time, youth and old age have become this chicken skin crane hair look!”

Jiska’s expression was sad, “I can’t, once you become a vampire, you will blame me, then you will understand the fear and helplessness of a person who wants to die but can’t die.”

Her tears flowed down again, “I’m going to die now, because I’m old, my heart is beating slower and slower, so I don’t have any fear or helplessness?!”

“You will be reincarnated, you will grow up again.”

“Experience the hardships of birth, old age, sickness and death again?” Her eyes were blurred with tears, she could hardly see his face, “If that’s the case, can I ask you not to come looking for me again? Don’t tell a little girl how much she loved you in her previous life and the life before that, let the seed of love in her heart sprout, let her fall in love with you hopelessly?”

Jiska’s jaw tightened, “I can’t, I can’t control myself.”

Catherine gave a desolate smile, “You are so selfish, have you ever thought about my feelings?”

He was speechless.

“When that little girl grows up year by year, gradually indulges in your love and passion, even marries you, she suddenly finds that she is slowly getting old, but her husband is still as handsome and upright as when she first met him at the age of twelve, without any signs of old age…” She sobbed, “Do you know what she thinks? She is so scared, so terrified.”

“Catherine…” He wanted to hold her in his arms with sadness.

Her body immediately stiffened, “Don’t touch me! I hate you, I hate you!”

“Don’t hate me, I beg you, I love you deeply, Catherine.” He looked at her with a sob, he loved her, he couldn’t bear her words of hatred… She could feel her heartbeat getting slower and slower, and her vision getting blurrier and blurrier.

“If there really is a next life, I absolutely don’t want to meet you, don’t want to fall in love with you, because, I don’t want to suffer the pain of this world again, I would rather… rather be with a… with a normal person… love… love…” Catherine murmured, her consciousness was already scattered.

“No, no!” Jiska watched her close her eyes with a broken heart, in an instant, he felt as if he was in an ice cellar, his whole body was pierced with holes by the bone-chilling cold.

Xue’er and Kongde stood by the pillar, quietly watching the scene of the two parting in death.

Xue’er pursed her lips, walked to the softly sobbing Jiska, and after looking at Catherine who was about to breathe her last, she sneered, suddenly rushed forward, bit her own wrist artery, and shot the spurting blood into Catherine’s slightly open mouth–“What are you doing, Xue’er!” Jiska’s expression changed lazily, he quickly got up and rudely pushed her to the ground.

“Xue’er, you’re too reckless!” Kongde also hurried over, she had scared him into a cold sweat.

Xue’er’s childish face had a mismatched malicious expression, “Since she also wants to become a vampire, I will fulfill her.”

“Xue’er!” Jiska’s expression was cold, a piece of muscle on his tense chin suddenly twitched, showing his full anger, “You let her become a vampire at this time, for the next hundreds of years, thousands of years, she will be this old woman’s appearance!”

“Wouldn’t I know?” Xue’er glared viciously at Jiska who had turned her into a vampire hundreds of years ago.

A light of guilt suddenly flashed across his handsome face.

“Look at me!” She jumped up in anger, took off her velvet cloak, and after the purple dress embroidered with lace, she stood naked in front of him, her eyes bursting with sparks: “My body is only eleven years old, without the appearance of a mature woman, completely like a newborn Baby, but how old am I? Do you remember? Three hundred years old? Or a thousand years old?”

“Xue’er,” he looked directly into her fiery eyes filled with resentment, and answered with deep pain, “Do you think why I deeply love Catherine, but refuse to let her become a vampire, instead let myself bear every time the pain and sorrow of parting in life and death, and then in the vast sea of people, strive to find her reincarnation?”

“I…” She was speechless.

Here is the English translation of the text you provided:

“Because of you, when you were eleven years old and dying, you asked to become one of my kind, and I did it. But in the fifty years that followed, you have always regretted it, because you want to grow up, want to grow old, even want to feel the taste of death, but we all know you can’t do it.”

“Right, that’s what I brought upon myself, but what about Catherine? She also asked you the same as I did, why didn’t you do it? Let her become like me, possessing eternal life, so that Kongde and I don’t have to be like fools after her death in every life, accompanying you to wander every corner of the world, searching for her rebirth!” Xue’er screamed almost hysterically.

“She’s dead, she’s taken her last breath, you don’t need to say any more.” Kongde’s voice sounded behind her, she quickly turned around and saw Catherine’s hands had fallen on the edge of the bed.

Jiska, with deep affection in his eyes, locked onto the breathless Catherine, could hardly bear the pain and held her in his arms, and the painful hot tears also fell at this moment.

“My love, I will definitely find you…”

Xue’er snorted angrily, picked up her cloak in a huff and covered the child’s body that was completely too late to develop, then pressed her wrist to stop the blood from flowing, and turned and left.

Kongde stood quietly on the side, his heart already pondering, where should he go to find the reincarnated Catherine?
