The young man had dazzling golden hair, and his azure eyes were as deep and affectionate as the sea.
"Hey, beauty," he casually sat down, teasingly lifting his lips, "Did you see what Taff was up to?"
Taff's little actions weren't hidden from the eyes of a wizard, but this girl seemed to have no magical talent at all—how did she find out?
Cassie gave him a glance.
He waved his hands repeatedly, smiling as he said, "Don't look at me like that; I'm not a bad person. I'm Nelson. What about you?"
She...
Oh, what was the name of this body again?
She remembered that when they initially called her with an incantation, the elders recited a long string of words, and she had no idea which one was her name.
Cassie believed that as long as she remained calm, no one would notice that she didn't even know her own name.
Normally, people would find her boring and leave. However, Nelson found her intriguing. "Are you Xavier's fiancée? Where did he pick up such an interesting girl?"
As he spoke, he felt a sharp gaze.
Xavier approached.
A glance was cast, and the warning in his eyes was undisguised. When he turned to Cassie, the warning was replaced by gentleness. "Darling, don't talk to strangers."
Nelson clicked his tongue. "You're quite protective."
Xavier didn't care, coldly looking at him. "Stay away from what's mine."
Nelson, a notorious playboy, had a presence wherever there were women. Did he think he was worthy of coveting Xavier's little rose?
"You're still very protective," Nelson laughed. "Seeing you like this, my trip here wasn't in vain. Do you know your precious almost got schemed against?"
Xavier squinted.
Nelson didn't say anything more, just smiling as he walked away.
Xavier came over, picked Cassie up, and gently said, "Sorry, the trouble has been dealt with."
Charm was a natural ability of vampires.
The king and his entourage were indeed troublesome. If it weren't for their urgency, he wouldn't have considered altering their memories.
As for that Princess Taff, she didn't even leave an impression on him. He only remembered her being annoying a few times—enough to deal with her as well.
"What did they do?" His tone remained gentle, but the underlying meaning was known only to him.
Cassie handed him a glass of wine.
Once the glass was in his hand, he smiled, a slightly mocking curve appearing on his lips. "A princess from a country, and her tactics are so clumsy?"
Leaving for a while, she actually directed her schemes towards his precious. This princess had quite the audacity.
Cassie shook her head and said, "Let's go back."
Staying here was not meaningful.
Xavier touched her head. "Yes, my lady."
"Xavier," she asked him again, "What is a fiancée?"
She found it amusing to see Xavier—she knew everything, but she wanted to see how skillfully he could spin tales. His ability to speak nonsense with a serious face was truly remarkable.
Indeed, he didn't reveal any internal emotions, maintaining a gentle smile. "A fiancée is someone I consider the most important person in my life."
See, he didn't miss any opportunity to say sweet words.
This kind of man... sigh, how could she win his heart?
Cassie was in distress.
Following along wasn't working. Should she try going against the flow?
After the banquet, Xavier took Cassie back to the vampire castle.
The decorations in the two rooms were almost identical, and everything purchased in the human world by Xavier was sent over. The environment had no significant differences.
The human world was turbulent, and the castle wasn't peaceful either.
A woman in a red gown caught Cassie's eye.
Her nails were long and sharp, and she possessed a charming and alluring appearance.
She seemed to be from one of the eight vampire families, named... Karida?
Her status was not low, a vampire princess.
Originally, Karida had come to show off.
During the time when the queen was awakening, the Karida family quietly aligned with several forces, gaining confidence. It seemed that they no longer regarded the queen with much importance, and even Xavier's threats didn't seem to deter them much.
However, with the talent suppression, as soon as she saw Cassie, a sense of worship involuntarily emerged in her heart.
Karida anxiously grabbed her hair, bit her teeth, and forced a smile back. "Is Xavier standing with you?"
So strange. Cassie asked back, "And what about you all?"
With such an indifferent attitude, it made her feel like her preparations were futile. Karida's anger increased, but she couldn't say anything more and could only leave in embarrassment.
Xavier, oh Xavier, wasn't he supposed to be intelligent? How could he be enchanted by such a young girl?
If only the talent suppression...
No.
If the talent suppression transferred to her...
Then, would Xavier's attention be on her?
A bold idea emerged, and many things became unstoppable. Karida thought more and more deeply, not even realizing the shadow behind her.
She suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"It's you..."
"Hush," the young man touched his golden hair, laughing exuberantly. "Princess Karida, I've discovered something interesting. I think we may have the same thoughts. Would you like to make a deal?"
...
Regardless of how the families fought among themselves, Cassie still led a peaceful life as the lazy vampire queen.
The only worry was that she felt a bit hungry.
It had been a long time since the last bloodsucking...
Vampires needed to feed regularly to replenish their strength. As a queen, her physical qualities were far superior to ordinary people, and her demand for blood was not so intense.
However, with the passage of time, even though she tried to suppress her craving for blood, she inevitably felt her energy depleting.
It was like when a person was starving, gradually approaching death.
The maids would present fresh blood elixirs, but after tasting Xavier's blood, those elixirs seemed dull and uninteresting. Cassie had no interest in them.
She sighed.
Despite her clear-headedness, she couldn't leave Xavier.
She could only go and find the culprit to settle the score.
