The Vampire Empress: Blood Queen & Her Kings - Chapter 115

“It’s that little brat…!”

Jiang Ying Yue whispered under her breath as she stood up from her seat, ready to march towards the young man and teach him a lesson for lying to her.

However, even before she could have gotten the chance to stand up from her seat, Silver cast a swift spell on her that enabled her from moving at all. She turned her face to glare at the girl who just smiled in return as if she (he) was totally innocent.

‘I’m just stopping you from causing any scene here. I don’t think you want to be the center of attention of this party for beating a young handsome man for no particular reason. Besides, if you will calm down and try to ponder on the issue some more, you will be able to thread the clues together to find out exactly what’s going on with him.’ He responded through their mind link.

Jiang Ying Yue relaxed in her seat as she too realized that she was in a royal banquet and needed to keep a low profile for her own good. As soon as she calmed down, the spell vanished, allowing her to move on her free will once again. She passed a glance at the young man and found him looking back at her with a small smile on his face. It was like he too was aware that she had finally recognized him.

She gave him an unimpressed look before she turned her attention away from him and took in a deep breath to calm herself down completely. She once called out her powers and channeled them towards the young man, trying to read his energy and to recall the exact details of their first meeting in the mountains when she went out to find Immortals.

The one and only thing for which she needed to thank this kid was for him to help her in finding her way to Wang Shu, not like she wouldn’t have found the Second Prince on her own considering he was her destined soulmate and the two of them were meant to meet one way or another. But she really needed to thank the young man for helping her.

It took her a few seconds but soon things started unfolding in her mind. And it finally appeared to her that the young man actually didn’t lie to her back then. When they first met, he was in the form of a hellhound and he told her that he had been trapped in that form for years and couldn’t turn into his human form.

Realizing his identity as the Hellhound, she thought that he lied to her back then but reading the energy difference between his current self and the past self, it appeared that he was indeed trapped in his hellhound form back then.

Then the question was – how did he suddenly turn into a human form? And the fact that he was now sitting in the royal banquet also raised questions.

She slowly opened her eyes and once again turned her attention towards the young man who immediately looked up at her with that same smile on his lips. To make things interesting, he finally stood up from his seat and headed straight towards her seat.

Silver helped her to stand up as she turned her full attention towards the young man.

“My Lady, it’s nice to finally meet you here at this banquet. I’ll like to propose a toast to you.” The Hellhound boy said as he accepted a cup of wine from his servant and turned towards her, waiting for her to do the same.

Jiang Ying Yue wanted to slap her forehead at the moment. She was just drinking hot herbal tea and now she would be drinking wine. Though she should not be worried about her health because neither the tea nor the wine was either beneficial or bad for her health considering she was a vampire even if she was trapped inside a human body.

“Sure.” She replied as she too accepted the wine cup from Silver before she turned her attention back to the boy and after raising her glass, she gulped down the wine.

Right at that moment, the banquet hall became intensely silent as both Prime Minister Fang and General Gu’s families entered the hall, grabbing all the attention as they headed towards their respective seats.

She nodded her head in regards as they all passed by her, moving straight towards the direction of the sitting arrangement placed specially for them. They were sitting on the right-hand side of the hall right below the platform where the empty seats were placed for the Princes.

“Can you feel the cold? It’s like the temperature has suddenly dropped to zero.” Jiang Ying Yue whispered to Silver as she kept her eyes focused on the Prime Minister’s family.

“Are you sure it’s not in minus? Look again, some people are already trembling.” He whispered back in her ear as he helped her in rearranging the table.

As it was finally the time for the banquet to start, she won’t be needing tea anymore as they all would be making toasts. Besides, the taste of the wine was really good and she had decided to shift to wine from tea considering she won’t be getting drunk no matter how much she would end up drinking.

“She’s about to appear.” Silver suddenly whispered under his breath as his attention shifted towards the entrance of the hall.

Jiang Ying Yue suddenly tensed as she turned her attention to Silver. “Will her dark aura cause trouble for you?” She asked as she couldn’t keep herself from worrying for him.

Considering his powers were one of the purest kind, the dark aura was the last thing he needed to experience as the two energies would repel each other.
