Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Tyrapotter was extremely convinced that although the current situation was dangerous, there must be a better solution apart from Rayne's method.

However, Rayne chose the most ambiguously flirtatious method…

It was a blatant provocation towards Tyrapotter.

In order to chase away her restless clansmen, Tyrapotter could only cooperate with Rayne and put on an act. She hugged Rayne's waist excitedly and shyly, declaring her sovereignty to her clansmen.

Out of absolute reverence towards the True Ancestor, the vampires retreated in the end.

After the onlookers left, Tyrapotter hurriedly put a barrier on Rayne to isolate the fragrance on him.

"With this, you can live in Cowper in peace, Your Highness Rayne ."

Tyrapotter looked at her watch. Unknowingly, it was already time for lunch.

Tyrapotter composed herself and recovered her spirits, forgetting the accident that caused her to panic earlier on.

She looked at Rayne and asked with a smile, "Your Highness Rayne, are you hungry?"

…

Next, Tyrapotter brought Rayne and Prosperity to a bar for a meal.

Since there were humans living in Cowper, there was naturally human food as well. Although, there were not many food options in this sewer where supplies were scarce.

There were enough rats, though.

Unfortunately, humans did not seem to like it.

Tyrapotter did not eat here and merely ordered a drink for herself. As for Prosperity, apart from her master's special feed, there was no need for her to put anything else into her mouth.

Rayne was the only one who ordered some food for himself. The two peerless beauties that were comparable to gods sat on both sides of Rayne silently and admired him eating.

"Right, Your Majesty, take a look at this."

While eating, Rayne handed a flyer to Tyrapotter.

"Prosperity brought it back this morning when she went out to buy groceries. Right now, this thing should have covered the entire city."

Tyrapotter received the flyer. It was an official notice issued by the Eternal Night government.

The contents were simple.

The Eternal Night Queen personally gave the order to search the entire city for Rayne Haines and Goddess Prosperity. Anyone who discovered them should report it immediately.

Be it not reporting the discovery or hiding the two of them, it would be a serious crime.

The highest penalty... was death.

Looking at the flyer, Tyrapotter lamented.

The war had finally begun…

In the past, Cowper City was the final resting place of the vampires and the wolves would not invade casually.

But now, Cowper City had lost its legitimacy with Rayne and Prosperity hiding within.

Even for Tyrapotter, the Wolf Queen already had a reason to kill her.

Furthermore, compared to her side…

Tyrapotter probed, "Your Highness Rayne, are you really not going to join Hedwig? She's stronger than me and should be able to protect you better, isn't it?"

"It's enough for me to have Prosperity to protect me."

Rayne smiled. "I'm indebted to the Wolf Queen, but she has already repaid me. We're even now and there's no way I can ask for more from her. However, Your Majesty Tyrapotter, it's different for you."

Rayne said sincerely, "I can't let the mechagod and the wolf pack destroy Prosperity. You also want to defeat the mechagod and the wolf pack and revive your clan. We have a common goal, right?"

Tyrapotter smiled and nodded gently.

Thereafter, Tyrapotter said shyly, "However, although that's the case… Your Highness Rayne, can you not joke with me like that in the future? Your blood is really tempting and I won't be able to control myself."

Rayne asked with a smile, "I've already said, Your Majesty Tyrapotter, that's not a joke. If you want to suck blood, I'll welcome you anytime."

"Besides…"

Rayne said solemnly, "If you don't suck blood, Your Majesty Tyrapotter, do you think you can defeat Wolf Queen Hedwig?"

Those words made Tyrapotter fall silent.

The power of the True Ancestors came from blood.

Although it did not mean that Tyrapotter would definitely be able to defeat the Wolf Queen after absorbing blood, given her anemic state right now, she had no chance of winning against the Wolf Queen at all.

However, she really did not know if she should try Rayne's blood…

Rayne could tell that Tyrapotter was wavering.

He pierced his palm and let a few drops of his blood drip into Tyrapotter's wine glass.

Thereafter, Rayne handed the cup of wine that symbolized taboo temptation to Tyrapotter.

Tyrapotter stared at the light red wine in the wine glass in front of her, rippling.

The gaze of the Vampire Queen trembled.

That alluring fragrance pierced her nose and she was infatuated.

Ah...

That was the smell.

If she really swallowed it, Tyrapotter swore that she would definitely be addicted…

Rayne smiled and said, "Try it?"

"In that case… let's have a taste…"

In the end, Tyrapotter could not resist the temptation. It was truly inappropriate for her to reject Rayne's good intentions time and again.

This was just diluted blood…

It should be fine to taste it a little…

Tyrapotter held her wine glass and took a sip.

Her body that had been dry for 300 years was finally nourished by blood at this moment. Joy burst forth from Tyrapotter's heart, causing her soul to tremble.

She put down the wine glass and unknowingly, she had already finished the liquid in the glass in one gulp.

Tyrapotter smiled foolishly. "Your Highness Rayne, your blood is indeed unique…"

At the side, Prosperity watched the show silently. However, at that moment, Prosperity suddenly made a discovery and looked at a corner of the bar.

Here, a werewolf was sitting and drinking alone.

Prosperity stared at the werewolf expressionlessly.

Noticing Prosperity's gaze, the werewolf turned his head silently and continued drinking.

Tyrapotter also noticed Prosperity's abnormality. She put down her wine glass and asked Prosperity with a smile, "Goddess, are you looking at that werewolf? Isn't it magical? There are actually werewolves in the gathering place of the vampires."

After drinking the diluted blood wine, Tyrapotter became energetic and happy.

She explained to Rayne and Prosperity with a warm smile, "Cowper doesn't reject the stay of the werewolves. As divinity beings, the blood of the werewolves is even more delicious than that of humans. Furthermore, the werewolves are diligent and capable and are very obedient. Compared to the arrogant young masters and ladies of my family, they are countless times better."

Werewolves were a race with a strong collective consciousness and would not leave the wolf pack easily. However, ever since the Wolf Queen took control of Eternal Night, the number of lone wolves that left the pack had increased steadily all year round.

The rules of the wolf pack were strict and suppressed the nature of the werewolves extremely severely.

There had always been many werewolves who made mistakes.

However, the Wolf Queen had always been impartial.

Once her clansmen made a mistake, they would basically be sentenced to death.

Among these werewolves who committed capital crimes, the greatest proportion was those who committed the sin of eating humans.

"The customized laws of the Wolf Queen are strict. It's only natural that werewolves can't hunt humans. However, werewolves can't even lay their hands on corpses that occur from natural death."

Many werewolves could not resist the temptation and stole the corpses. If they were discovered, they would be sentenced to death as well.

As for the werewolves who committed crimes, they were either executed personally by the Wolf Queen or were lucky enough to escape. Only when they were at their wits' end would they come and seek refuge with the vampires.

That was what Tyrapotter wanted to see.

"If one day, the vampires regain control of Eternal Night, I wouldn't want to exterminate the wolf pack either… Therefore, why not let everyone get used to things in advance?"

However, gradually…

Tyrapotter's gaze turned grim.

That was because just like Prosperity…

She had also noticed the abnormality of this werewolf.

The werewolf stared at the bar's menu non-stop and stomped his feet anxiously. As for his hand, he placed it in his pocket silently…

"His heart's racing. He's nervous."

Prosperity said indifferently, "Furthermore, there's a magic product in his pocket."

"It's a whistle!"

Instantly, the Vampire Queen was enlightened. She charged out like an arrow and pressed the werewolf against the table.

Thereafter, Tyrapotter reached into the werewolf's pocket and took out a location magical tool.

Tyrapotter questioned, "You want to send a message to the wolf pack?!"

Seeing that his plan had been exposed, the werewolf sneered. "That's right! Reporting Rayne Haines's location to the leader will be a great merit!"

"Vampire Queen Tyrapotter, why are you so surprised?"

The werewolf said, "When you decided to take in Rayne Haines and go against the queen of the wolf pack, the war had already begun!"

Tyrapotter: "You shouldn't have done that…"

"I shouldn't have done that? Don't be naive, True Ancestor 13! Let me ask you, how long has it been since you drank blood? How long had it been since you've had a blood bath? It's been 300 years, right?"

Although the werewolf was controlled by Tyrapotter, he was not afraid at all—that was because he was already certain that Tyrapotter could not kill him. Or rather, the Vampire Queen no longer had time to deal with him!

The werewolf advised, "There's no way you can defeat Queen Hedwig. You guys are definitely going to lose this battle! I advise you to hand Rayne Haines over to the wolves obediently!"

Tyrapotter was not angry at the werewolf's betrayal.

She merely felt that everything was… pathetic.

Tyrapotter had a pained expression. "Idiot… don't you guys understand Hedwig? She won't forgive you guys at all…"

At that moment, the magical tool in the hands of the werewolf had already been snatched away by Tyrapotter.

The magical tool was not activated and the werewolf did not send the message.

However...

How could he be the only werewolf in the base of the vampires who was still loyal to the wolf pack?

In another corner of Cowper City.

The werewolves in Cowper who received the news pressed the location magical tool that was connected to the palace of Eternal Night firmly!

Howls sounded around Cowper City.

Welcoming...

The queen of the wolf pack!

At that moment, it was already too late for any reaction.

The news had long spread.

The Eternal Night Queen was coming.

A moment later, a cold saber beam streaked across the dome!

The residents of Cowper City were alarmed. They raised their heads and looked at the phenomenon that flashed past in a daze.

Was that... a sword beam earlier on? Magic? Or was it something else?

Strange!

There were no flying vampires in the skies of Cowper City. In fact, there were no traces of magic power ascending to the skies.

That sword beam… was not fired from Cowper City.

In that case, could it be… from above?

Impossible!

That shouldn't be possible!

The residents became uneasy…

Cowper was an underground city and its upper layer was dozens of meters high. What kind of sword could slice through such a thick obstacle?!

Unless…

The intruder was…

Boom!

The next moment! The rift in the dome of Cowper City that was sliced apart was shattered by a heavy blow from the outside world!

The collapsed gravel shot out like a meteorite and smashed into Cowper City, destroying countless buildings.

Dust billowed. Amidst the thick smoke, a swift figure descended from the crack in the dome.

It was this expert who used the same extreme method of violence to barge into Cowper City!

Instantly, the figure that barged into Cowper arrived before Rayne in the blink of an eye with the help of the smoke from the collapsed building as cover.

The door of the bar was pushed open slowly.

The person who walked in was a cold and arrogant black-haired queen with a black saber.

Wolf Queen Hedwig.

"Leader!"

When the werewolf saw the Wolf Queen, he charged towards his queen in ecstasy.

"It's me! Leader! Morse! We were the ones who sent the message to inform you of Rayne Haines's location!"

"Back then, I ate a dead person's finger on impulse… I know my mistake now. Please give me another chance to return to the wolf pack!"

Tears streamed down the werewolf's face as he begged bitterly.

"Leader! I'll definitely not make any more mistakes! Absolutely—"

However…

The Wolf Queen's response was a casual slash.

A pitch-black straight saber slashed past the werewolf's neck.

There was no pause or feeling of hitting anything. It was as though it was passing through the air gently.

However, the werewolf's head that was crying tears of joy fell silently.

Even until his death, this werewolf was still immersed in the anticipation and joy of obtaining the recognition of the Wolf Queen and returning to his pack.

Unfortunately…

His queen had not forgiven him.

He betrayed the kindness of the vampires and risked his life to inform the Wolf Queen. In the end, he was killed by the Wolf Queen with a single slash.

There was nothing difficult to understand.

This was Hedwig's usual style.

In the eyes of the cold Wolf Queen, sin was sin. Apart from death and punishment, there was no other possibility of redemption.

From the day he chose to eat the corpse, he was already a corpse in the eyes of the Wolf Queen.

After casually executing her own scum, Hedwig raised her eyes and looked at Rayne.

She ignored the surging magic power at the side as well as Prosperity, who had already activated her nanomodule armor and shielded Rayne behind her, prepped in combat mode and ready to attack at any moment.

It was as though those threats did not exist.

The Wolf Queen looked at Rayne quietly with a sincere smile on her cold face.

This prince was her benefactor.

It was the same as how she remembered the sins that happened around her.

Similarly, she remembered the kindness she had received.

Hedwig would not forget Rayne's kindness of lending her a helping hand at her most desperate moment.

Now, she extended her hand to Rayne as well.

For her who had lost her voice, she expressed her gentle kindness with her facial expression.

Your Highness Rayne, please follow me.

Let me protect you.
