Murmurs and whispers rose inside the vampire High Courts. Even Elysianne's ladies in waiting were at the tip of their toes, craning their necks as they tried to deduce the next words the young queen was about to speak.
"Where is she going with this?"
"She isn't thinking of abolishing the slavery system, right?"
"That shouldn't even be an option!"
"What will the vampire kingdom be if we don't dominate over the humans?"
The vampires of the palace High Court kept their eyes fixed on the human queen they were against in the first place. Several of the nobles were already anticipating what she was about to announce, but what made them angry was the fact that Aleksander seemed to be on it.
"Did the king actually nod at her as if he knew what she is about to announce?" one of the nobles whispered at the noblewoman beside them.
"It seems like so," the noblewoman confirmed. "I don't feel good about this."
