Hugo’s hand abruptly tightened, crushing the goblet he held.
In a raspy voice, he said, “The blood moon hasn’t appeared yet, and the seven days aren’t over. Amy’s transformation isn’t complete—it’s too early to jump to conclusions.”
Yet, as he spoke, Hugo felt a sense of doubt creeping in.
While others in the clan hesitated, Lina, with tears in her eyes, said, “Your Highness, it’s clear that Amy is a low–level vampire. How can you not realize this?
“She bit me, compelling you to transform me, and also drank your blood with greed. Having a mongrel like her in the castle is not only shameful but poses a hidden danger!
“No one wants to be attacked and killed by such a mongrel while feeding or resting.”
As Lina finished speaking, the vampire nobles united to pressure Hugo.
“You are our pure–blood King. You must uphold the honor and traditions of the Kindred!”
“The clan’s hierarchy is well–defined. If others emulate you and defy the rules, the entire clan will descend into chaos!”
“Your Highness, we urge you to execute Amy at once, with us as witnesses!”
Hugo trembled, his eyes locking with mine, desperate, pleading. “Amy,

wake up…”
Despite his calls, I stayed indifferent, huddled in the corner and watching the group of vampires with caution.
Just then, a nobleman stepped forward. “Since His Highness hesitates, allow me to relieve him of this burden and handle this mongrel myself!”
He gradually lifted his hand, and a ghostly green flame appeared, forming out of nowhere in his palm.
The immense energy within it radiating from it made it clear–anything it touched would burn to ash.
Just as he was about to launch the fireball at me, an eerie blood moon unexpectedly appeared outside the window.
A thick gray mist rapidly enveloped the entire castle.
Overwhelmed by the intense pressure, all the noble vampires were seized with fear–some even fell to their knees.
Even Hugo and several other noble vampires were compelled to retreat, their bodies bending under the weight of this formidable power.
A blazing fire erupted inside me as the power of the Original Vampire stirred deep within.
The world, always tinted red in my eyes, finally shifted back to its usual appearance.
Once the chaos settled, Lina pointed at me with a cry, “What kind of creature are you? Weren’t you transformed by a low–level vampire? Why are your pupils black again?”
Even Hugo, the vampire prince, had never seen anything like this.

His brows knitted in confusion, he muttered in disbelief, “How can this be…”
Just as Hugo finished speaking, Lina exclaimed, “I get it now! She was bitten by a mongrel a week ago and had already transformed into a low- level vampire. It was His Highness’s compassion that led him to Embrace her with his pure blood!
“Who could have predicted that His Highness’s benevolence would create a mutated creature? If we allow this threat to remain, the Kindred will be doomed!”
The nobles regarded Hugo with doubt, seemingly expecting him to make a choice.
Lina, however, insisted fervently, “Amy is a low–level vampire who has acquired His Highness’s immense power. If you don’t take her out now, she’ll devour you all, one by one!
“With every vampire she consumes, her powers will grow, and soon even His Highness might not be able to defeat her. At that point, our survival would be impossible!”
