Chapter 131:
“Ugh”
Murphy, who was presiding over the initial embrace ceremony, let out an almost inaudible groan of pain as he struggled to remain standing.
This scene was immediately noticed by Lady Adele.
The perceptive Blood Descendant immediately stepped forward, using her own body to shield Murphy’s momentary weakness.
She had been through a similar experience herself.
She had no trouble guessing that Lord Murphy had given Maxim the same precious fresh blood essence during the initial embrace, which made Adele truly appreciate her lord’s generosity.
“You foolish child!”
Meanwhile, Tris, seated on the Blood Stone Throne, tightened her grip on the armrests at that moment.
As an ancient being nearly five hundred years old, and a “veteran” who had made a living from “initial embraces” for over a hundred years, Tris, of course, knew what Murphy was doing at that time.
