Unbeknownst to Adele, Dorothy was indeed nearing the limit of her endurance for bloodlust.

She was simply too picky and demanding when it came to blood.

After tasting Adele’s blood, Dorothy would rather endure the agony of bloodlust than drink anything but Adele’s sweet nectar.

It was likely that soon, she would come to Adele, driven by desperation and revealing her crazed side.

But at this crucial moment, Adele’s voice message arrived, stopping everything.

Dorothy already held deep anticipation for Adele.

Her sweet and sincere voice instantly struck the girl’s heart.

 

Dorothy was willing to believe without a doubt the excuse of being busy with studies and forgetting to contact her.

Not to mention the even more heartwarming phrase that followed: “I want to see you.”

Dorothy took a deep breath, suppressing the erosion of bloodlust on her reason, and replied,

“I’m… at the vampire territory.”

“Adele, I’ll send someone to pick you up.”

“Eh… is that too much trouble?” Adele’s voice was tinged with a hint of nervousness.

But she also understood that it would be difficult to enter a place where a vampire princess like Dorothy resided without someone escorting her.

 

“It’s no trouble if it’s you.”

“I’ll be waiting for you.”

After saying that, Dorothy hung up the phone.

She would see Adele soon anyway, continuing to linger on the call would only make her seem weak.

Dorothy still had some of the demeanor of a noble, even though she had never been formally taught etiquette.

No one was qualified to be her teacher, a king’s every move never needed to be regulated.

That was why Dorothy seemed so unrestrained.

 

And the object of her unrestrained actions was Adele, the girl she had fallen in love with at first sight on the day of enrollment.

But at that time, no one had taught Dorothy how to truly love and respect someone.

That’s why she almost caused an irreversible outcome.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too late to make amends.

………………

At the same time, downstairs in the academy dormitory.

Adele slowly put away her phone, thinking that since Dorothy was sending someone to pick her up, they wouldn’t arrive immediately.

 

So she went back to her room. She could relax for a few more minutes, that was Adele’s philosophy of life.

If you were too busy, people would only pile more troublesome things on you.

Twenty minutes later, Dorothy’s servants arrived in front of Adele’s dormitory building in a low-key black luxury car.

Their mission was to escort Miss Adele to Princess Dorothy.

Besides that, they shouldn’t do anything else.

That’s why Adele felt the atmosphere in the car was oppressively silent.

But it also had a distinct aura of nobility.

 

And not just any nobility, but the descendants of the Black Emperor, who once ruled the entire vampire race.

With a nervous heart, Adele arrived at the so-called vampire territory along with the car.

It was an estate on the outskirts of Dongdu. If you checked the map app, the information about this place was covered by fake pictures.

Even the castle in the distance, which made Adele gasp in awe, a castle that looked like it was made of obsidian, couldn’t be found on the map app or Baidu Encyclopedia, it was unknown to the public.

The human higher-ups must have included a clause in their agreement with the vampires, a clause that preserved the vampires’ own territory and habitat, which was a very small portion compared to the land occupied by humans.

But this didn’t prevent Dorothy from becoming, in Adele’s eyes, a top-ranking princess who owned a piece of land that could be called a “small country.”

A glint of “greed” flashed in Adele’s eyes.

 

The vampires who were escorting Adele exchanged glances.

Why did this Miss Adele, in their eyes, seem different from the description given by Princess Dorothy, who said that Adele wasn’t interested in fame and fortune and had a noble character?

But of course, they didn’t have the guts to say this in front of Dorothy, it would be considered insubordination.

“Miss Adele, this way please.”

The servants guided her.

“Okay, thank you for your trouble.”

Adele also restrained her “money-hungry” look and quickly put on a reserved and elegant demeanor.

 

In fact, it was impossible for Adele to be completely calm about facing Dorothy.

Who knew if Dorothy, after holding back for so many days, would rush towards her with red eyes the moment she saw Adele?

The scene that followed could only be described as “massacre.”

Besides, this was Dorothy’s territory.

It wasn’t governed by law, only by personal connections.

Adele was like a piece of “fat meat” delivered to Dorothy’s doorstep.

If Dorothy devoured her completely, Adele would have no tears left to cry.

 

But not going was obviously not an option.

Adele didn’t want to put herself in such a dangerous situation.

But unfortunately, with her current resources and backing, unless she asked for help from Principal Winona or Seraph, she really couldn’t compete with Dorothy, the only Vampire Princess.

But Principal Winona was still angry about Adele corrupting First Snow, how could she possibly help Adele?

As for Seraph, she was willing to be Adele’s personal doll out of her own volition, but that didn’t mean she would obey Adele’s orders.

And if an existence like Seraph appeared, it wouldn’t be good if she alarmed the True Ancestor behind Dorothy.

Although Dorothy’s ancestor, the Black Emperor, was confirmed to be non-existent in this world, she wasn’t completely without support.

 

The True Ancestors who were friends with the Black Emperor, his allies, whether it was out of the need to maintain their common interests or for other reasons, Dorothy would be their top priority for protection.

What’s more, many blood nobles even saw Dorothy as the future of the vampire race.

Forget it, she wouldn’t think about these troublesome things.

Since she was already here, she would take it one step at a time.

Adele’s self-regulation ability was strong, she had an optimistic and open-minded nature.

The girl followed the vampire servants, walking through the paths in the estate, passing by a green lawn, a long bridge, and an archway, finally arriving in front of the huge castle.

Adele looked at the towering and majestic building and couldn’t help but gulp.

 

She suddenly felt like a hero in a game, about to fight the final boss.

Calm down, calm down!

All villainous heroines were paper tigers, let them tremble before her!

Although she said that, the moment Adele actually saw Dorothy, her legs went weak.

Even her voice trembled slightly as she called out,

“Dorothy… Dorothy?”

She stood at the bottom of the stairs leading to the castle hall, and on the stairs was a crimson throne stained with countless blood.

 

Dorothy sat on the throne, looking down at the girl she had been waiting for, the tiny Adele.

“You’re here, Adele.”

“Don’t be nervous, come up.”

Although Dorothy said that, it sounded like an unquestionable order.

Adele complained in her heart, “How can you tell people not to be nervous when you’re sitting on a throne like a monarch!”

But complaints aside, the cowardly Adele obediently climbed the stairs, finally arriving beside Dorothy step by step.

Then she turned around and looked out at the vast world below the throne with Dorothy.

 

“…”

Adele seemed to understand why ancient emperors and kings liked to place their thrones at the highest point of the hall.

It wasn’t just because they could look down on their subjects and see who was making small moves.

But also because a sense of “supremacy” would unconsciously arise from this position.

No wonder those in high positions always seemed to have an aura of “power” that made people involuntarily want to submit.

So what was Dorothy trying to do by suddenly doing this?

Was she trying to tell Adele,

 

— “Woman, this is the world I conquered for you”?

The long-dead meme suddenly resurrected in Adele’s mind, attacking her.

But what Dorothy really wanted to express was,

“Adele, would you like to enjoy the view from the summit of the vampire race with me?”
