As the truth dawned on Gabriel, it became evident that Lucian was indeed the same vampire prince who had suffered a severe penalty a decade ago for breaching the Glade of Union agreement.
As the truth unfolded, Gabriel couldn't help but remark, "You truly are the same vampire prince from a decade ago, aren't you? The one who broke the Glade of Union agreement."
Lucian's voice carried a bitter undertone as he reluctantly affirmed, "Yes, that's me. The one who faced a brutal crucifixion, was left to starve for an entire month, and closely monitored for five years."
"The report indicated that your condition had been deteriorating progressively since the punishment, primarily due to your rare ailment that necessitated the consumption of human blood for survival," Gabriel added.
"Yes," Lucian confirmed.
There was a moment of silence.
Lucian glanced up, locking eyes with Gabriel once more. "Are you starting to feel sorry for me?"
