The fear that Samael had instilled in them was enough to last a lifetime. With having an option of death or acknowledging the new emperor, everyone had no choice but to choose the latter willingly. Yes, willingly... if that was even what it was called. Samael ascended the throne with no problem after that and even mobilized more nobles to contribute to the empire. Of course, their contribution was all due to fear of the devil breathing down their neck. A different approach from the previous king,…

Another day passed by in the palace. Everyone who had been protesting and requesting an audience with the person who was currently in charge of the palace was all invited in. Mostly consisted of the aristocrat faction, some representative of commoners, nobles with titles, and a bunch of people who were concerned about the rising or falling empire. "Hmph! I had heard that they are planning to sit a human as emperor. What is the royal family thinking? Announcing to make the Heart Kingdom as an empire —…

"Claude, will you accept the title of being the new Earl of Monarey?" There was a long silence in the meeting room, with their eyes slowly dilating. Heliot smirked in amusement upon hearing Samael's straight question. He had already known Samael was capable, and he just needed enough motivation and drive to embrace this role of the emperor. "You are sending this child to the damn north?" Klaus was the first to break the ice, slamming his hand on the table as he abruptly stood up. "Hell, what the hell…

Samael gathered everyone in the meeting room. Standing at the end of the table, he scanned all the faces gathered around it. From his right was Heliot, Beatrice, Klaus, Claude, Silvia, Yulis, Ramin, Kristina, Noah who came after receiving a royal invitation, Cameron, Dominique and Jayden fresh from their cells, and then Rufus. "You must have heard it already," he spoke, breaking the thick silence that reigned the meeting room. "I planned on taking the throne. If you have any objection, speak now."…

Meanwhile, inside the third prince's chambers, stood Beatrice from the end of the bed, Heliot on the side, Samael on the other end, across from Heliot with Rufus. On the bed lay Lilou with her hands on her stomach and her eyes closed, sleeping peacefully. The atmosphere inside wasn't any less suffocating than outside, as none of them talked. Beatrice pursed her lips, darting her eyes from Heliot to Samael, who was staring down at his wife. Samael reached for Lilou's hand and squeezed it lightly. "I…

Lilou didn't regain consciousness, even when Samael had stolen the core from her. According to Alexander Bloodfang, it was more likely an unconscious decision she made. Also, with her pregnancy on the table, it was better for Lilou to stay unresponsive, as it would be painful because of being human with a vampire in her womb. Turning her to a vampire now would mean killing the child. It was just what Heliot said. After the search, the causality Lilou left wasn't as devastating as what happened a…

Most vampires were blessed with one ability that they would hone to perfection. Samael was no different. But his ability was the most misunderstood of all. Everyone knew he was simply blessed with many abilities, but that wasn't the case. Those abilities he was using were all stolen. Only a few knew his actual ability: the late king, the late crown prince Dyrroth, Lara, and Alexander Bloodfang. And all of them were dead. Not that he was the person who took their life, but the dead tell no tales.…

Just like what Heliot said, Lilou woke up not long after. She weakly opened her eyes, grunting as she pushed herself away from Samael's embrace. Meanwhile, Samael released her and watched her sit up while massaging her nape. "Does it hurt?" he asked, and she turned her head to her with an arched brow. "I'm sorry. I had to do that." Lilou blinked twice and glanced up, immediately getting a grasp they were inside a dungeon cell. "Husband, what's with that look? Does the guilt eats you up?" "Yes." He…

"Sam...." she whispered while staring at him and then yelled, staggering back as she dropped Lakresha to cover her ears. "No! Shut up! Sam! I said — my husband! Get out — can you hear me?!" Samael and Heliot watched Lilou scream as if there were two people speaking at the same time. The former took a step forward without thinking but stopped when Lilou glared back at him. "Don't come!" she snarled before screaming once again until she was on her knees. Her screaming resounded across the silent…

Samael knew where to find her; he was connected to her, after all. Despite that, he asked Rufus to send out people to search the capital. He did so just because he knew some people wouldn't need to see this state of her. As soon as he reached the throne hall without batting an eye at the scattered injured knights in the hallway, he gazed up at Lilou. She simply stood in front of the throne, not sitting but just staring at it curiously. "Lilou," he called in a low tone, but the silence in the throne…
