Chapter 200: Exes

At the Valcrez Kingdom

Due to Ezme's condition, which rendered her unable to control her venom, they had failed to complete the traditional ritual of marking. Because of this, Queen Mother Rania, Ezme's mother, prepared a lavish party for Ezme and Atlas to formally introduce Atlas as Ezme's husband to all.

The party was just starting but Atlas already felt a bit dizzy from meeting so many vampires at the event. He was grateful that Ezme never left his side, knowing this was a bit awkward for him to handle.

"Just tell me if you want to sneak out already. I'm famous for being a pain in the ass, so they won't question us once they see we're gone," Ezme mischievously stated.

"Hmm, it's fine, Ezme. I want to give them all a good impression. Just stay with me," Atlas whispered in her ear. She smelled so good that he couldn't help nibbling her earlobe as well.

Ezme giggled and murmured, "Behave!" Atlas chuckled. "I am well-behaved!"
