"quiet!"
A resounding shout suddenly rang out, and everyone turned to look at the doors of the throne room—
A brown-haired maid
She walked in cleanly and decisively; the voice she just heard was her shout.
She then pushed the door open completely and stood respectfully to the side.
"Your Majesty Ludwig von Nacht has arrived—"
...
click, click, click—
The high heels clicked crisply on the red carpet, the steps elegant and slow.
A silver-haired girl appeared before the world. She was about 1.67 meters tall, and her beautiful figure was captivating.
Her prized gown has been transformed into an even more extravagant queen's dress by skilled craftsmen.
The skirt and bodice are adorned with black lace against a burgundy background, and intricate metal chains and ornaments adorn the hem and the bodice.
The black silk stockings covering her feet featured alluring patterns that extended into the hem of her skirt, appearing and disappearing with her every step; while her bare shoulders were covered by a semi-transparent, elegant shawl, seemingly made of the same material as the main body of her silk headdress.
The striking silk headdress had already reserved its place for the crown, and the queen's gown would only be complete when she was crowned.
The burgundy queen's gown complemented the girl's gorgeous silver hair and her ruby-red eyes, making her first appearance before the world so stunning.
She arrived at the foot of the throne steps, gracefully lifting her skirt as she walked up to the empty double thrones, finally stopping before the "Queen's Throne."
The girl turned around, her mysterious and deep red eyes scanning the guests in the throne room.
"I've kept you waiting, mortals and demons."
"Welcome to the castle, where you will witness the arrival of a new era."
"The coronation ceremony shall begin immediately."
...
...
She sat gracefully on the queen's throne, and in an instant, the throne burst forth with a blood-red light, enveloping her.
The relief carvings on the throne were filled with crimson, converging along the winding lines to the wings at the top of the throne, symbolizing the vampire queen.
Then, a surge of energy enveloped the throne and the silver-haired girl, who calmly closed her eyes.
She was already the true vampire queen; this coronation was merely a necessary ritual.
At that moment, a chanting, seemingly from nowhere, echoed through the throne room, its tone solemn and dignified, its melody gentle and melodious.
"I will always remember you, but my beloved is gone forever."
"Eternity ends, and eternal night descends."
"Time goes on forever, and the vampires will never perish."
"If this moment lasts forever, it will be eternal night—"
hum!
hum!
hum-
The eleven members of the Vampire Council, led by Torre, all arrived at the scene after being summoned by the teleportation array.
He held up the brand-new Queen's Crown, solemnly stepped up the stairs, and knelt before the silver-haired girl.
"To our Eternal Night Queen, I offer this symbol of supreme power."
This gesture symbolized Parliament returning all power to the Queen, and her subsequent act of gently accepting the crown and placing it on her head signified that she had taken over the supreme power of the royal court.
The girl fastened the crown on her head and opened her eyes again.
Her blood-red eyes revealed the arrogance that only a king could possess.
Torre raised his head and shouted in a booming voice:
"Ludwig von Nacht, Queen of the Eternal Night, hereby ascends the throne!"
"In the eternal night, the vampires will never perish!"
"In the eternal night, the vampires will never perish!"
"In the eternal night, the vampires will never perish!"
The vampires cheered excitedly along with the council members, for no matter what the future held, a new queen had arrived.
This is naturally a moment that all the vampires present should cheer for.
...
The new queen sat regally on her throne, slightly tilted to one side, propping her cheek up with one hand, and gazing at the crowd below with a smile.
"Kneel down."
...
Upon receiving the decree, the vampires and other demons knelt down in unison, but the humans had a slight disagreement—most of them were quite dissatisfied with the order.
"Why should we side with the monster's leader...?"
"Don't push your luck!"
"That's unreasonable!"
"Humans wouldn't stoop to the level of mere vampires—"
As the humans began to complain incessantly, the Night Queen did not intend to give them any more time to waste.
She smiled, but her eyes turned blood red the next second.
"Do you want to be my enemy?"
As soon as she spoke, all the vampires in the entire throne room turned their gazes to this group of humans...
Dozens of bright red pupils burned with a chilling killing intent as they scorched these dozens of humans.
The Queen's absolute power compels the vampires to unconditionally obey her will. Without a doubt, displeasing her here will lead to more than just a matter of kneeling...
shhhhh--
"Hehe, that's more like it."
The Queen of Eternal Night covered her face and chuckled softly.
Beneath the throne, her subjects and arrogant humans all knelt before her.
"Fellow vampires and my beloved ministers, rise."
"And you arrogant and rude humans... from now on, any foolish fellow like you must kneel down with utmost respect when you come before me, the Queen."
"Today, remember these words firmly with your bodies, and then go back and pass them on to your fellow human beings."
Her words were gentle and peaceful, yet they left no room for compromise.
"I will crush all those who oppose the vampires."
"The days when humans could boss vampires around are over."
Chapter 166 Pie
A few days ago, in the Eternal Pure Land, the vampire girl, Siriot, who had returned to an ordinary life, lay quietly in her black coffin.
She will then enter a long slumber, and given the speed at which time passes in the Eternal Pure Land, she will awaken again after countless years.
But right now, this is the only way to prolong her life and buy enough time for those who want to treat her.
A small tomb chamber, known as the "Temporary Prince's Tomb," was built on one side of the Avenue of King Carlos's Mausoleum.
As the coffin was closed, a peaceful smile remained on Hilliot's face, for she was able to rest there with her departed beloved.
Two ornate coffins, one black and one gray, lay quietly side by side in the tomb chamber, like the two thrones in the throne room.
Even if she eventually wakes up again, she will have a satisfied smile on her face because she can now sleep peacefully with her lover.
Even though she knew that when she awoke, in the real world after the dream shattered, her beloved would no longer invite her to dance...
She drifted peacefully into a sweet dream, just to spend her youth with her one and only in this artificially created illusion.
Sometimes, people often wonder—when dreams can last forever, what reason is there to return to the cruel reality of having lost everything?
Tears streamed down Hilliot's cheeks as the coffin closed, allowing her to bid a temporary farewell to this cruel world.
...
...
...
"I've seen this kind of thing far too many times."
The vampire girl named Ludwig stood before the simple royal tomb, clenching her fists.
"Although I, as a vampire, have always been an observer, witness, and participant, I am afraid that one day I will become one of them."
“I was once a human girl named Yang Jin’er, but I am no longer. I am a vampire, an undeniable vampire, a vampire through and through.”
"But this does not mean that I will forget the suffering I have endured, or the numerous crimes that humanity has committed against its own people and against those who are different from it."
Her blood-red eyes were now blazing with flames formed from blood.
"I will discard everything that remains of my human form..."
"With a brand new name, carrying the memories of the past, and connecting to my future as queen."
Her long silver hair floated gently as the power surged.
At this moment, she, as a vampire, as a queen, as a descendant of warriors—all the power contained within her blood was fully grasped and merged into one.
She was born as the unique [Eternal Night Queen].
"I will transform into eternal night and shatter that false sun."
"Ludwig von Nacht. That is the name of your new queen."
She turned around.
"Are you willing to help me... avenge Hilliot?"
Ruo Keke, Ye Liuli, and Luo Qina, who had witnessed all of this, knelt down in unison before her.
"I pledge my allegiance to you, Your Majesty, Queen of Eternal Night."
...
...
Snapping out of her reverie, the Eternal Night Queen, who sat atop her throne overlooking all living beings, couldn't help but give a cold smile.
"Humans are so boring... they try to be nice to me, the Queen."
"Your performance has disappointed me as much as ever. Tuck your tails between your legs and get back home, lest I, the Queen, turn your blood into dessert."
Just as she was about to order the guests to leave, suddenly, the castle guards stumbled in.
"Report...Report! Lord Torre—"
Torre glared at him and gestured with his eyes toward the queen on the throne.
The guard suddenly realized what he had said and hurriedly corrected himself:
"Report! Your Majesty! At the castle gate... at the main entrance! Something has happened!"
...
...
...
Time goes back to a while ago.
Solid is ordered by Entropy to infiltrate Drake Tower, but by sheer coincidence, she runs into an old acquaintance—Che Nianchen.
