Chapter 113: Attempted Assassination
The kingdom’s lights were still shining brightly as Elys looked at a high vantage point. She had expected the capital to be bustling with activity knowing vampires were much more active during the night, but aside from establishment lights, there seemed to be no happenings at all.
Perhaps it was because of the news spreading that the bastard prince had forcibly taken over the throne. Not to mention he insisted a human slave become his queen too.
The vampires living in the capital must have turned livid with the idea of a ’cursed’ king and a queen that used to be a slave herself.
"Wife, do you know that technically once a king and queen is coronated in our kingdom, it is tradition for the couple to try immediately for an heir?" Aleksander pointed out in a matter-of-fact tone.
She couldn’t help but roll her eyes in the dark with Aleksander babbling nonsense. What was the relation of such a tradition to the two of them when they didn’t even ascend to the throne through conventional ways?
Did he think a massacre of enemy vampire nobilities was normal in order to gain his crown?
"If we hadn’t forcibly taken over the throne, we would have had an audience around our bed right now, making sure the kingdom’s future is secured," Aleksander continued.
Where was he trying to take them with this conversation anyway?
"Ah, but we did take over the throne by force. I’d much rather meet an assassin in bed," she retorted as the corners of her mouth raised into a defiant smirk.
