Chapter 174: The Queen's Heart

King Octavius, reigning over the Vampire Kingdom for the past three hundred years, was a formidable ruler. His victory over the previous tyrant King had solidified his position, and none had successfully challenged his reign since. Though relatively young for a vampire, his power and strength were unquestionable, commanding respect and awe from those who encountered him. Behind his regal facade, however, lay a mind shrouded in mystery, hiding secrets that even his closest advisors could only guess at.

Today, a strange air of casualness enveloped the King as he conversed with Prince Maximilian. Observers couldn't help but wonder what had transpired to evoke such nonchalance from the monarch. It was a sight that defied expectations, leaving many perplexed and questioning their understanding of the dynamics within the palace.
