Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Just like vampires, werewolves were also natives of Eternal Night.

During the period when the vampires ruled over Eternal Night, the wolf pack was a ferocious and barbaric pest that roamed around Eternal Night, hunting humans.

Because the vampires were indifferent to the people under their rule, this led to the long-term existence of such man-eating beasts in Eternal Night. In fact, the Wolf Queens born from them would even challenge the True Ancestors from time to time.

However, of course, these challenges were merely the innate arrogance and ignorance of a brainless wild beast seeking death. In the past thousand years, the werewolves had never obtained a true victory in a battle between a Wolf Queen and a True Ancestor.

Except Hedwig.

She was the strongest Wolf Queen in history.

Furthermore... She was clearly way too strong.

To the point that the status between the wolves and the vampires had already undergone a polar reversal today.

The high and mighty rulers and the strongest queen were on the side of the wolf pack.

However, the ones who had to live in seclusion in the corners had become the vampires.

The might of the Vampire Queen no longer existed.

Right now, what all living beings of Eternal Night had to look up to was this cold and arrogant queen of the wolf pack.

In fact… that included the Vampire Queen herself.

"After enduring for so many years, it's finally time for the final battle, Hedwig."

"Initially, I thought that our battle would be for the sake of our race or country. However, I didn't expect…"

Tyrapotter looked at Rayne and chuckled with doting and trust in her eyes. "To think that it would be just for…"

Hedwig: "…"

Hedwig did not say a word, but her gaze darkened.

Tyrapotter was not stupid.

She could not understand the Wolf Queen's intentions as accurately as the Wolf Throat who had been her assistant for many years.

But now…

At this moment where she was heartlessly let down, the expression on the face of the Wolf Queen who had her defenses broken could not be any easier to understand.

She was jealous of the Vampire Queen…

The murderous jealousy on the Wolf Queen's body even infected Tyrapotter, causing her to suddenly have the illusion that she was not waging a war with the Wolf Queen for the sake of the great cause of her race, but fighting with the Wolf Queen for favor in front of Rayne.

It was a ridiculous thought…

However, even so, there did not seem to be anything out of place…

After all, His Highness Rayne was such an outstanding human.

Their short interaction was not enough for Tyrapotter to violate the laws and confirm her relationship status with him. Furthermore, Tyrapotter did not know if Rayne had taken a truly fancy to a dangerous divinity creature like her.

However, Rayne Haines was completely worthy of Tyrapotter falling in love with him...

The blood magic had already been accumulated. Crimson blood flowed and condensed into magic swords that were waiting to be consumed, surrounding Tyrapotter.

Tyrapotter was prepared to fight. "Hey, Hedwig, don't involve innocent people, alright?"

Against Hedwig who hated her with bitter jealousy...

Tyrapotter knew right from the beginning that she would stand no chance of winning if she fought head-on.

Hedwig was way too strong and she, who had not eaten normally for 300 years, was way too weak.

Therefore… The Vampire Queen's strategy was…

Suddenly, more than ten blood magic swords that surrounded Tyrapotter shot out. The blood swords dissipated halfway and turned into a massive encirclement that devoured Hedwig with a sea of blood that contained a strong curse.

However, this sea of blood was merely a feint.

While the Wolf Queen was dealing with the blood sea, Tyrapotter tore through space and used teleportation magic to open up a path that was connected to the central pillar of Cowper City.

On the other end of the torn space, Tyrapotter caught sight of the pitch-black coffin.

Inside the coffin was her sister who was in deep sleep.

Tyrapotter extended her hand towards her sister.

"Sister, lend me your body…"

However…

The Vampire Queen had still underestimated Hedwig's strength.

Before Tyrapotter could finish…

A cold saber beam tore through the blood tide and severed Tyrapotter's arm with ease!

The connection between her arm and body was broken and even the teleportation spell led by her arm lost its effect.

The dimensional rift closed rapidly and vanished.

Tyrapotter looked at her right shoulder that was gushing with blood and was shocked.

The battle had just begun but it was already over!

Tyrapotter's tactics were useless against Hedwig. Right now, she was way too weak.

If Hedwig had chopped off Tyrapotter's head with that slash earlier on, she would have already lost her consciousness and combat strength. At that moment where there were countless flaws, Hedwig had thousands of ways to destroy her meticulously before throwing her residue into the magic power furnace of Eternal Night to be burned like firewood.

The Vampire Queen stared at Hedwig in shock. However, she did not give up on the battle. Her arm recovered rapidly and more magic blood swords condensed one after another.

However…

Hedwig was no longer interested in her.

The outcome of the battle was already decided. If they continued fighting, it would only be a boring killing.

She hated Tyrapotter because she snatched Rayne away and his trust in her.

However…

Would Rayne revert to become the same Prince of Haines in the past after she killed Tyrapotter?

The one who helped her selflessly and even praised her beauty shyly.

No, he won't…

Killing the Vampire Queen would only cause trouble for the current Rayne and make him dislike herself even more…

Hedwig looked at Rayne one last time with a sorrowful gaze.

Your Highness Rayne, let's call it a day...

The next time we meet...

We'll be enemies.

She no longer bothered to use the saber that was stained with the filthy body fluids of the vampires. The heartbroken Hedwig threw away the straight saber in her hand casually and left silently.

Rayne did not say anything as he looked at Hedwig's lonely back view.

He merely watched in silence.

This was the proud Wolf Queen. However, she left with her tail between her legs, like a dog abandoned by her master, feeling aggrieved.

…

Hedwig left Cowper City.

When she received the news and rushed to Cowper, her footsteps were light and swift like the wind.

But now, every single step she took was incomparably heavy.

I'm also… way too sentimental.

Initially, Hedwig was already used to it. Every year, her personality would change during the estrous cycle and she would become emotional and impulsive. Furthermore, she would lack rationality.

However, this year's estrous cycle was the most intense year for her in the past few hundred years…

Why exactly…

Was it because of that man…?

What was I thinking…?

Hedwig did not dare to look straight at her vulgar beast nature.

His Highness Rayne was her benefactor and was an upright, noble and wise successor of the Empire. Furthermore… he was a human.

How could Hedwig have feelings for him other than gratitude?

However…

Unlike a female wolf with a crippled throat like her...

Those vampires could rely on their innate talent in bewitchment to hunt humans and easily capture their love.

Be it killing to get food or turning humans into loyal toys, everything was at the fingertips of those bats.

Perhaps…

His Highness Rayne had probably long become Tyrapotter's possession…

Forget it.

If His Highness Rayne thought that was right, then… What was there for Hedwig to say?

Her benefactor did not need her to repay his kindness.

Her benefactor only wanted to get rid of her with her enemies.

However, just as Hedwig put on her hood and covered her face, about to return to the palace alone…

Suddenly, she heard a cough from Cowper City behind her.

Hedwig turned around.

She saw Prosperity standing in front of the ground entrance of Cowper City and looking at her.

It was not the Prosperity in the skies or the silicon-based pseudogods.

Instead, it was the old model that accompanied Rayne.

Why... did she follow her?

"Queen Hedwig, please wait."

"As His Highness Rayne's maid, I have something to ask you."

Hedwig stopped in her tracks with a look of annoyance.

Prosperity merely asked calmly, "Why aren't you killing me?"

Kill you?

Hedwig glanced at Prosperity weakly.

The next time we meet, of course I'll kill you…

However, that was not what Prosperity wanted to ask.
