That night, Adele didn’t stay at Dorothy’s castle.

Dorothy had her people escort Adele out of the vampire territory and back to the bustling city with its bright lights and heavy traffic.

Looking back on everything that had happened before, it felt like a world away.

In fact, ever since she entered the vampire territory, Adele had felt a kind of pressure on her mind, a heavy burden.

She guessed that it might be the power of order from the vampire hierarchy established by the Black Emperor.

It demanded that vampires of Sequences One to Five stay in their place, never overstepping their bounds.

Long, long ago, the Black Emperor ruled the entire vampire race, declaring this inviolable law, forcing everyone, even the True Ancestors, to acknowledge it. He might have even held a mysterious ritual.

 

From then on, the mark of the Sequence existed in the depths of every vampire’s soul.

It might sound magical, but it was the truth.

High-ranking vampires could even use this mark to suppress low-ranking vampires simply by releasing their mental power.

From then on, there was no such thing as a lower-ranking vampire surpassing a higher-ranking one.

The vampire hierarchy became clear and unbreakable.

Even in modern society, vampires still hadn’t embraced the concept of freedom and equality.

The Adele from the past should have experienced this deeply. At that time, her mental power was too weak, and due to bloodline suppression, almost all Sequence One vampire girls could easily get an obedient version of Adele just by releasing their mental power.

 

As for the later Adele, she found a delicate balance among the Sequence Ones and gradually changed them in her own way.

Plus, she had also become a witch and become stronger, so similar situations never happened to her again.

Until this day, when she went to Dorothy’s vampire territory, where many of the Black Emperor’s marks remained.

It wasn’t so easy for Adele to deal with it as casually as before.

Being alone with Dorothy was fine, but when she interacted with other vampires later, although Adele didn’t show it on the surface and seemed calm as usual, in reality, she felt a chill down her spine.

If she continued to stay in that environment for a long time, Adele felt that not only her body, but even her mind would be affected.

Completely changed by the mark, becoming a soulless girl who obeyed Dorothy’s every command.

 

It might sound alarmist, but this was Adele’s true feeling.

And how could a proud girl like her submit to this?

That’s why Adele said those words to Dorothy later.

She not only hoped that she would work hard, but she also hoped that Dorothy would work hard, to strive for a future that was beneficial to both of them.

Of course, if you said this was Adele’s “PUA” on Dorothy…

Well, it was one of Adele’s goals.

After all, wasn’t it the husband’s duty to work hard and earn money to support the family?

 

There was nothing wrong with this, but everything had to have a limit. Whether it was the wife or the husband, they just had to do their part.

However, there were some wives who exploited their husbands to the point where, in addition to their daily jobs, they also had to drive taxis, be ride-hailing drivers, or work part-time.

In short, they had to earn a certain amount of money every day before they were allowed to go home.

Adele didn’t need Dorothy to earn money, but she needed Dorothy to become stronger.

And after Dorothy became stronger, she also had to be a “henpecked “husband””~

Finally, it was also because of Adele’s own pride that when they kissed, she was always on top of Dorothy.

Dorothy, the most noble Vampire Princess, was being pressed down.

 

The fact that Dorothy didn’t resist this really touched Adele’s heart.

Perhaps one day, Adele would truly love Dorothy with a pure heart, it wasn’t impossible.

Adele touched Dorothy’s heart.

And Dorothy naturally touched Adele’s heart in the process.

………………

“It’s so relaxing to be home.”

Finally back in her dormitory, Adele immediately collapsed on the bed like a boneless woman, sticking her butt up in the air, her expression carefree.

 

This feeling of not being suppressed by the Sequence Law was the most normal and free!

Next time she went on a date with Dorothy, she wouldn’t go to Dorothy’s house.

She would ask Dorothy to book a hotel, or find a villa, to spend a wonderful time together.

But as usual, only Adele was allowed to take the initiative to find Dorothy, she needed to have absolute control.

At least for a while, it would be like this.

Otherwise, Dorothy coming to her all the time would really affect her progress as a sea queen.

This girl was so straightforward in her scumbag ways, it was admirable in a sense.

 

She rested for a while in the air-conditioned room, then opened her eyes, picked up her phone that was lying beside her, found Hermione’s contact information, cleared her throat, and pressed the call button.

One wave after another, but this time, it was Adele who took the initiative.

Active and passive, it seemed like just a one-word difference.

But in people’s hearts, it would have completely different effects.

Take Dorothy as an example. She endured the even stronger bloodlust as a Sequence One, enduring the torment, just to wait for the moment when the clouds parted and the moon appeared, to wait for the moment when Adele contacted her on her own initiative.

Adele didn’t disappoint her, which led to the romantic and passionate moments later.

But what if Adele forgot about this and disappointed her?

 

The disappointed Dorothy might lose her mind due to bloodlust and become crazy. At that time, if she took the initiative to find Adele, it would only lead to irreparable tragic consequences for both of them.

As for Hermione, she might not be as extreme as Dorothy, and when necessary, she would use blood packs provided by humans to alleviate her bloodlust.

Theoretically, she could endure for a longer time, if Adele kept ignoring her.

But this didn’t mean that she could be neglected like this.

Once a woman’s heart was hurt, the scar would remain forever, and no matter what Adele did in the future, she couldn’t make up for it.

And Hermione happened to be that kind of woman.

That’s why Adele only dared to put her in second place, dealing with Dorothy’s trouble first.

 

But she couldn’t completely ignore Hermione.

Hermione was such a proud girl, the Ice Queen of the academy.

She could lower her proud head for Adele, even sacrifice some of her dignity.

But it shouldn’t be in this kind of matter.

So she probably wouldn’t contact Adele on her own initiative, and the earlier Adele contacted her, the deeper her feelings for Adele would be.

In other words, the longer the delay, the more disappointed Hermione would be in Adele.

Adele didn’t want to disappoint her cold on the outside, warm on the inside Ice Queen.

 

So after returning home and resting for a while, without even opening any fun games, Adele chose to contact Hermione.

Originally, according to her initial plan, she should have contacted Hermione on Sunday.

But one night might pass by quickly for her.

It would be over after just sleeping in.

But for Hermione, who had been waiting for her for almost a week, it was a sleepless night filled with tossing and turning.

Adele had a good grasp of each girl’s personality and emotions.

As she expected, when Hermione answered the phone, she would act indifferent, she might even ask Adele why she suddenly called.

 

The dial tone came through the speaker in the next moment.

Adele’s expression had already turned excited and enthusiastic, even though she wasn’t in front of Hermione, she could still act perfectly.

It was a great loss for the film industry of this world that she didn’t become an actress.

“Hermione! Good evening~”

Her gentle and sweet voice made people’s ears tingle.

At this moment, Hermione was alone in her empty boudoir. You couldn’t imagine how excited she was when Adele called!

The Ice Queen, known for her aloofness, elegance, and reserve, even jumped up from the ground!

 

But on the phone, her voice was still as cold as frost, just that the frost might have been mixed with a little sugar, it was like a delicious smoothie.

“Adele? Is there something wrong? Why did you suddenly call me?”

Adele narrowed her eyes slyly, looking like a little fox.

“Can’t I call Hermione if there’s nothing wrong?”

“Hermione, I miss you, I want to hear your voice, I want to hear you call me ‘baby’~”

“…” Hermione instantly blushed.

If Dorothy still had some resistance to direct approaches, then Hermione…

 

She had absolutely no resistance to direct approaches.

Adele’s one sentence directly pierced through Hermione’s defenses.

“H-how indecent…”

“Eh… you don’t like it, Hermione? I’m sorry…”

“I-I didn’t say I don’t like it!”

“Ba… baby?”

“Ehehe, yes!”

 

Hearing Adele’s excited response from the other end of the phone, Hermione actually felt a sense of comfort and pleasure.

But she still said tsundere-ly,

“You humans only know how to play these embarrassing tricks.”

Among the vampires, Hermione belonged to the pro-human faction.

Otherwise, why would she live in the human world and enjoy modern life? Her family also had their own vampire territory, she should be living in a vampire castle like Dorothy.

So in her eyes, Adele’s mixed-blood identity leaned more towards the human side, making her even more mysterious and alluring.

And in Dorothy’s view, Adele’s human attribute was a burden, so she usually just ignored it.

 

“It’s not just this trick~”

Adele said with a smile.

Hearing this, Hermione felt a little nervous, a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

“Then… what else do you want to do?”

She asked in a cold tone, seemingly refusing but actually welcoming it.

“I also want…”

Adele lowered her voice, her words only audible to her and Hermione.

 

Hermione’s face instantly turned as red as a peach.

“Adele!?”

She was about to question how this woman could be so bold, not afraid… not afraid of her…

But the next moment, Adele changed the subject and diverted Hermione’s thoughts.

She asked,

“Let’s go on a date tomorrow?”

Hermione’s mind was filled with the embarrassing words Adele had just said.

 

After a while, she couldn’t help but clench her legs together and nod.

“…Okay.”
