Ronaldo furrowed his brow upon hearing Evelynn's proposition. "A synthetic blood?"

Given Ronaldo and Lucius' history of disliking each other, she fully understood his reaction.

"It was the only solution to stop him from consuming human blood," she explained.

"So, you planned to create a synthetic blood for Lucius," Ronaldo's frown deepened. He turned his gaze towards Lucius, who was seated beside Evelynn. "What do you have to say about this?"

"I have no objections," Lucius replied calmly.

"You're willing to drink fake blood?"

"If it will make my older sister happy," Lucius responded.

"She's not your older sister!" Ronaldo retorted.
