Chapter 10

作者: Echo
High on the success of their ridiculous spectacle, Joseph and Julia clung to it like a lifeline. They began campaigning even more frantically among the common vampires, shamelessly spreading their "truth" about being brutally oppressed.

Deep in a hidden part of the Black Forest, an eerie green bonfire lit up a clearing packed with angry, resentful faces.

Julia, dressed in a deliberately tattered dress, was crying her eyes out.

  • They Banished Their True Queen   Chapter 11

    On the run, Joseph and Julia became the lowest of the low in the vampire world.After their lies were exposed, they were shunned by every clan.The kill-on-sight order from the Valerius family, combined with the bitter hatred of the common vampires they had deceived, meant no one dared to offer them shelter.They lost not only their warm castle and their high status but also the basic means of survival.The once-proud Count was now a pathetic wreck, forced to scurry through the shadows like a sewer rat. Someone even saw him in a slum, fighting over a cheap bag of blood plasma.A month later, on a bitterly cold night.With nowhere left to run, Joseph knelt outside the magnificent iron gates of the Valerius castle."Elizabeth! I know you're in there!" he cried, his voice a raw, desperate howl. He clung to the cold iron bars, gaunt and haggard. "I was wrong! I truly was! Please, call off the High Council's warrant! Don't you remember the nights we watched the moon together? The portrait I

    High on the success of their ridiculous spectacle, Joseph and Julia clung to it like a lifeline. They began campaigning even more frantically among the common vampires, shamelessly spreading their "truth" about being brutally oppressed.Deep in a hidden part of the Black Forest, an eerie green bonfire lit up a clearing packed with angry, resentful faces.Julia, dressed in a deliberately tattered dress, was crying her eyes out."I am just a fledgling, turned only three months ago. When I discovered that the high and mighty ancient nobles, like Elizabeth, were stealing from the clan's public resources, I bravely stood up to her. And for that? She unleashed her fury on me! She's using her family's power to hunt us all down!"Joseph stepped forward at the perfect moment, wrapping his arms around the "faltering" Julia, playing the part of a heartbroken leader. "My friends, this isn't just an attack on Julia! This is the old guard trying to crush all of us who are new! They hoard the best bl

  • They Banished Their True Queen   Chapter 9

    I sat in my spacious, comfortable study, coldly watching the flood of messages from Joseph, Julia, and the other core members of Clan Nightwood.Elizabeth, answer me! Please, just answer! Those armored guards are throwing our things out! What is going on!You can't be this cruel! You're driving the entire clan to its grave! Stop this, for old times' sake!I never replied. The tone of his messages devolved from rage laced with pride, to frantic demands, and finally, to broken, weeping pleas.At the same time, a more lethal storm was brewing in the upper echelons of vampire society.I had the Valerius clan formally declare Clan Nightwood an enemy.Blood-ravens flew from clan to clan, carrying the message. The news spread like wildfire, cutting off every possible escape route for Nightwood.The neutral clans who had been watching from the sidelines, terrified of getting caught in the crossfire, pulled all their investments overnight and even cut off their supply of basic blood rations.Wh

  • They Banished Their True Queen   Chapter 8

    I looked down at the weeping Joseph, filled with a pathetic sort of pity."What we once had?" I scoffed, completely unmoved by his pleas. "Lord Count, when you were in my bed, planning how to strip me of my power, did you think of 'what we once had' then? When you put the protective amulet I bled for around Julia's neck, did you spare even a single thought for our past?"I took a step back in disgust, avoiding his attempt to touch me as if he were a pile of filth.Then I turned and announced to everyone present, "I've had enough of this childish game. I have decided to officially return to the Valerius family and take what is rightfully mine. From this day forward, I have no connection to Clan Nightwood."Hearing my declaration, a deeply satisfied smile spread across Prince Archon's stern face.He released his grip. Julia crumpled to the ground like a rag doll, clutching her throat and coughing violently, her eyes wide with terror."Good girl. You've finally come to your senses," Princ

  • They Banished Their True Queen   Chapter 7

    I didn't answer the furious roar coming from Joseph’s message crystal.I simply waved my hand, and the magic of my invisibility faded.When my form reappeared, the shock on their faces was absolute."That vault has always been my private property," I said, my voice as cold as my gaze, which was fixed on a wide-eyed Joseph.He reacted as if I were his last hope, instinctively reaching for me. "Elizabeth! You're here! Perfect timing, now tell this damned guard to open the door, the Prince is still wait—"I slapped his hand away, my gaze as cold as if I were looking at a corpse. "Your memory seems to be failing you, Lord Count. It was just last night that you banished me from Clan Nightwood forever, in front of everyone."I smoothed the golden tassels on my sleeve and offered a faint smile. "Since I'm no longer a member of this clan, the key I gave you is, naturally, void. So why should I open my vault to a group of strangers?""You despicable woman!" Julia, finally processing what was ha

  • They Banished Their True Queen   Chapter 6

    In the long hours before dawn, I tallied what Joseph owed me.There was the difference in rent—one hundred and fifty crates of rare blood. The one hundred crates of magic crystals I'd contributed. And another fifty crates of rare blood.It was enough to bankrupt a minor clan overnight. And I was going to make those ungrateful bastards pay it all back. With interest. Down to the last drop.The next day, 9:00 AM.Cloaked in invisibility, I appeared at the entrance to my private blood vault.Joseph and Julia, dressed in their finest, led the clan’s core members. They stood in wait, a grim reception line for Prince Archon.A short while later, a suffocating, powerful presence announced his arrival. Prince Archon appeared, wrapped in a pure black cloak embroidered with dark gold.He was an ancient vampire, thousands of years old. The terrifying aura he radiated was enough to make the knees of every low-ranked vampire there tremble."Your Highness! Welcome to Clan Nightwood!" Joseph immediat
