The Bride Of The Vampire King - Chapter 107

Liam felt Mila starting to turn into someone he didn’t recognize anymore.

Is the figure of the girl in front of him really Mila? But, why does Liam feel that this girl is not the Mila he knows?

It was as if another soul possessed Mila and turned her into a different personality. Very, very different from what Liam expected.

“Mila, you can’t do this,” Liam warned her. He couldn’t understand it, how could Mila still smile sweetly and look at him with such innocent eyes when she killed an elder a moment ago? Is there no remorse in her?

“Why not? He wanted to kill me,” Mila scowled when she said that. “No, not only Elder Rang, but all the elders and most of the nobles don’t like me, they don’t accept me and I can’t accept the rejection. Like you said, am I not the last descendant of the previous king and queen? Which means I am the most entitled to the throne. Not them, not you, but me.”

What Mila said was true, but the Mila that Liam knew was not this kind of person. Liam would swear and bet at anything, even his life, that Mila would never say such a thing.

Since when did she care about the throne? Mila wasn’t like Anna who thought so much about their status as part of a noble family. The figure of Mila in Liam’s memory was a girl who was free and not bound by such rules.

But, now Mila looked so ambitious to ascend the throne and put herself as a queen? Even when many people were against it, to the point of killing someone to do that, even though the first day she was here, Mila was vehemently opposed to being appointed as a queen.

So, how could she now want it like it was her little dream and be so ambitious about it?

“Mila, this isn’t the real you,” Liam said. He emphasized every word he said and kept Mila away from him. Mila was getting too close to him and this made Liam feel uncomfortable with her sudden behavior. “You were influenced by that creature.”

Mila raised her eyebrows questioningly. “That creature?” she repeated. “Which creature? Didn’t you tell me yourself that you don’t believe in stories or curses about that creature?”

Liam ignored that and then walked to his closet and took some clothes, also a dress for Mila to wear.

“We’ll talk about this later.” Liam then gave the dress in his hand to Mila and asked her to wear it. “We have to go to the throne room right now.”

Mila looked at the dress Liam gave her. The dress was dark in color with a few embellishments on it. “I’m not going to wear that pathetic dress,” Mila said, brushing off the dress Liam had given her. “That dress is too pathetic for my mood.”

Mila wanted to celebrate Elder Rang’s death, instead of mourning for him, so she walked to the other side of the closet and took out a bright purple dress and took out some jewelry for her to wear.

“You’re not wearing that dress Mila.” Liam was wide-eyed when he saw Mila’s chosen dress and immediately took the dress from her hand.

“Oh, of course I’ll wear it. Who are you to dare to forbid me from wearing that dress?” Mila looked displeased with Liam’s intervention, then immediately took the dress back from Liam’s hands.

“You’re crazy,” Liam hissed. “I am the king and you will not wear that dress.”

“I’m not crazy and yes, you are the king, but, am I not your queen?” Mila asks Liam defiantly, after which she turns around, but Liam held her arm.

“You’re not my queen yet, Mila, so act like I tell you to,” Liam said through gritted teeth. He couldn’t understand what was going on in Mila’s mind.

“Oh, you’re such an asshole Liam. One time you said that I was your queen, but other times you said otherwise,” Mila said loudly. She then glared fiercely at the king, challenging him.

But, for this time, Liam would not stay silent and let Mila do as she pleased.

“You won’t go out of this room wearing that dress, king or not, I won’t allow that and it’s the final decision.” Liam then turned and left Mila. He wouldn’t accept Mila’s disobedience for something so ridiculous. “And we are still not done with you killing Elder Rang.”

That discussion would occur later after they went to the throne room and dealt with the problems that occurred there. For now, they would stop here first.

Mila threw the purple dress in her hands and glared at Liam’s back fiercely. She didn’t like being told by Liam like this.

“You jerk!” Mila shouted at Liam who ignored her and he stomped furiously when she had to walk back to pick up the pathetic black dress.

Mila wanted to come to the throne room, not only to attend to a demand from people who wanted their leader to be present, but also because she wanted to sit on the throne again.

There was a burning longing and obsession, which made Mila would not miss this opportunity, especially when she would be sitting in front of many people, where these people are her subjects. She felt powerful and very strong.

And that feeling is something that was difficult to explain, which made Mila willing to wear the black dress and obey Liam’s wish this time.

Only this time, Mila would obey the king’s wish…

================

The throne room was already filled with a large number of people, not only the five elders as well as nobles, but there were also many ordinary vampires of low status gathered there, and even though the large hall where the throne was located was unable to accommodate all the vampires, it still just does not deny the fact that this news has spread so widely in such a short time.

If it isn’t for someone with a strong influence doing that, then no one would know what really happened in such a short period of time.

When Mila and Liam entered the room which was already filled with people who wanted to ask for an explanation and also justice from the king, suddenly Elder George pointed a finger at Mila.

“You have killed Elder Elena as well as Elder Rang!” cried George angrily when he saw Mila walking beside Liam, heading for her throne. “You shouldn’t be on the queen’s throne. You’re not the queen!”

Hearing this statement, Mila frowned. How dare the elder restrain her from reaching her throne which was now only a few steps away.

If it wasn’t for them being in the public eye and lots of people like this, then Mila would be happy to make Elder George’s fate the same as Elder Rang’s.

“Aren’t we here to discuss Elder Rang’s sudden death? Then what does that have to do with the position I’m sitting in?” asked Mila. “Hasn’t the king already said that I am the rightful future queen? Wherever I sit, that place will be mine, until the king says otherwise.” Mila replied to Elder George’s call with a firm tone.

Meanwhile Liam paid no heed to this and pulled Mila to sit beside him on the throne she wanted.

“You’re not the queen!” Elder George insisted on his argument and glared at her as Mila sat beside Liam with a haughty face, facing the vampires present there.

“Sit down, Elder George,” Liam ordered impatiently. “This is not the right time to talk about that.”

Several nobles then uttered the same protest against Mila and they looked furious.

But, Liam dealt with it all quite well.

Liam then stood up, leaving Mila to sit on the throne alone. He then faced nobles and vampires of lower status.

“We will start the matter with Elder Rang’s death now!” he said aloud. His resolute voice echoed through the hall walls and made anyone who had voiced his comments instantly fall silent.

On the other hand, Elder George, who was sitting on Liam’s right side, which meant that he was only one seat away from Mila, looked at Mila scornfully.

However, Mila just looked at him with a smile and blinked one eye secretly, as the other people focused on Liam and the four guards who brought Elder Rang’s corpse into the great hall.

“You must have had a hand in this murder,” Elder George said furiously at Mila, he said it in a low voice so only the two of them could hear.

Mila turned her head, then looked back at Elder George with lazy eyes, as if this conversation didn’t interest her at all. “How can you accuse me like that? Do you have solid evidence?” she asked.

“Oh, you killed Elder Elena so viciously, so it’s only natural that you are the first to be suspected in Elder Rang’s death,” George said with full of anger, especially when he saw the mocking smile on Mila’s lips.

And unexpectedly, Mila’s answer took George by surprise.

“You’re pretty smart,” she said.
