The Bureau Director’s name was Yashi. Elegant Ya, poem Shi. Although under her leadership, the capture of the contained angel had yet to succeed, no one could question her abilities and loyalty to humanity.

As for Ron, the supreme elemental True Ancestor, Yashi’s memories went back to when she was a rookie agent. Her mentor, during a secret operation, indirectly disrupted the ambitious True Ancestor Ron’s ascension. If Ron had succeeded, he would have become the second vampire in history to reach the Black Emperor realm, a realm close to godhood. At that time, the Vampire Clan’s power would have expanded unprecedentedly, and with Ron, a hawk, leading them, the peace between the two races would cease to exist. So the plan had to succeed.

Yashi, as a trusted rookie, although not directly involved in the mission planning, witnessed everything from the sidelines, seeing those great and worthy sacrifices. It was after that that Ron’s body began to deteriorate into its current state, irreversibly infected by elemental crystallization. Unless he could find the thirteenth drop of blood left behind by God, he probably only had a few decades left to live. By then, he would become a pure elemental crystal, a dead True Ancestor statue with no consciousness.

A few decades? For ordinary people, perhaps this was the reality of their lives, so they were used to it. But for the long-lived True Ancestors, they would never tolerate God’s gift being taken away from them. Even if they occasionally complained that immortality was boring, it was like a billionaire saying, “I don’t like money, I hate money the most.” It was just a sophisticated form of bragging.

The deaths of her seniors served as a harsh lesson for the then-naive Yashi. If she remembered correctly, she cried for many days because of it. But everyone had their youth. Now, recalling her past self, Yashi could face it calmly with a smile. She had become mature and steady, finally taking over the burden and inheriting the legacy of her seniors.

Perhaps Yashi wanted this bond to continue, so she chose Wen Weiran, this young girl, letting her study by her side in advance, teaching her how to better use her abilities.

Facing Yashi’s greeting, Ron just glanced away, not responding, but then he said, “I have reason to suspect that you humans are confining our Queen.”

“If you refuse my request to bring her back to Twilight City, you will bear the consequences!”

This was truly unreasonable. Their Queen ran away on her own, and now it was their fault for “confining” her. Yashi had already communicated with Winona and knew that Dorothy was currently staying in a vampire girl’s dorm. While sighing at the trouble caused by that vampire girl, she could only accept the reality that the mess caused by young love had to be cleaned up by them.

“We have never ‘confined’ your Queen.”

“But some vampires are a different story.”

“We are still willing to abide by the peace treaty and engage in sincere communication and cooperation.”

“According to the information I have, Her Majesty Dorothy, the Vampire Queen, has just returned to school.”

“And the academy is currently reinstating her student status according to normal procedures.”

“We don’t have a Vampire Queen here, just a student who wants to study.”

“As for whether you can bring her back to the vampire capital, we will not interfere. It’s entirely up to Dorothy herself.” Yashi declared the human side’s stance to True Ancestor Ron.

This elicited a cold snort from him. Then, without further ado, he teleported towards the city center where Cromwell Academy was located.

At that moment, Adele was accompanying Dorothy to the Academic Affairs Office to complete the procedures for resuming her studies. Suddenly, the school’s alarm blared. A powerful presence had arrived. The vampires in the academy all felt the supreme pressure from their bloodline and started trembling, lowering their heads, not daring to look up. Only the Sequence Ones had a milder reaction.

Dorothy also felt it, but it wasn’t overwhelming. The girl just frowned slightly, looking displeased. As for Adele beside her, she had no reaction at all. Ah, has a True Ancestor arrived? When? Where? If you told her about it, this would probably be her reaction.

But Dorothy was quite surprised. Adele didn’t feel the bloodline suppression released by the True Ancestor at all. She didn’t know if it was because Adele was both human and witch, or if her Sequence was too low to be sensitive to it. But logically, the lower the Sequence of a vampire, the stronger their reaction should be. Forget it, don’t think about it.

Dorothy quickly signed her name on the reinstatement documents and, in front of the teachers in the Academic Affairs Office, took Adele’s hand and walked out. “...” The students these days are too brazen. This is the Academic Affairs Office! But compared to the current situation the academy was facing, young love between female students seemed insignificant.

“Dorothy? What’s wrong?”

“Someone is here to pick me up.”

“I’m not sure who it is yet.”

“If it’s True Ancestor Daphne, it will be troublesome.”

“True Ancestor Snyder would be better, and Ron...” But the next moment, Dorothy was certain. Because True Ancestor Ron had appeared before her, the True Ancestor that even other True Ancestors had to treat carefully. His remaining lifespan wasn’t long, so the closer the deadline, the more extreme and crazed he became. No one wanted to provoke a dying madman, not even True Ancestors.

So Dorothy gulped nervously and then mustered the courage to look up at the True Ancestor before her, “True Ancestor Ron, what are you doing here?”

Ron glanced at ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) Dorothy coldly, but there was a hint of respect for her. As for Adele, he completely ignored her. Even if Adele was the strongest Sequence Five, beneath a True Ancestor, all vampires were ants.

“I’m here to escort the Queen back to Twilight City.”

“How many times do I have to say this before you listen!?”

“I don’t want to stay there, at least not now...”

“I want to go to school. I’ll naturally go back during the holidays.” Dorothy made a concession. She was willing to sacrifice her holidays to fulfill her responsibilities as the Vampire Queen, but she wouldn’t sacrifice her entire life, especially not being able to stay with Adele. She wouldn’t!

But True Ancestor Ron clearly came prepared. How could he be dismissed by Dorothy’s few words? Fortunately, Dorothy had prepared her response in advance. Otherwise, with her personality, she might be led astray by Ron’s words and say something irreversible, ruining the relationship between humans and vampires.

After probing for a while, Ron sneered, “Humans are really dedicated to educating our Queen.” His words caught Dorothy off guard. Ron’s words were clearly implying that Dorothy’s perfect answers were because she had been instructed by humans beforehand. This way, no matter how flawless Dorothy’s answers were, it couldn’t stop some vampires from thinking in a bad way, like suspecting that their loyal Queen had really been brainwashed by human education. In this case, trying to prove her innocence would be like “cutting open one’s stomach to prove they haven’t eaten anything.” They don’t care how much you’ve eaten.

Dorothy gritted her teeth, realizing this problem. So she disregarded the prepared answers and said bluntly, “Let me be frank with you!”

“I don’t care about studying, school, teachers, or campus.”

“I only care about Adele!”

“I came back here because I want to be with Adele!”

“If you want me to go back, fine, let me marry Adele first!”

The teachers in the Academic Affairs Office felt their scalps go numb. Now, young love between students had become a major issue that had to be addressed. After all, if they weren’t careful, it could jeopardize the peace between two races.

As for Adele, she was dumbfounded, thinking, Dorothy, you’re being too reckless. Why are you dragging me into this!

Headmistress Winona and Teacher Victoria arrived shortly after True Ancestor Ron, and suddenly, three of the most powerful beings stood before Dorothy and Adele. And they heard Dorothy’s “public confession.”

Victoria chuckled, her eyes filled with nostalgia for the past. Headmistress Winona’s face darkened, thinking, The students these days are too brazen! She wanted to rectify this unhealthy trend, and the first person to be made an example of would be Adele. But now wasn’t the time for this. Their purpose was to negotiate with True Ancestor Ron. As for Dorothy and Adele, they were secondary.

Dorothy also realized this, so she took Adele’s hand and ran away like they were eloping. Let the big shots handle the big shots’ affairs. The title of Vampire Queen was forced upon her without her consent. It was unlikely for her to truly identify with it. Let alone the fact that she now loved beauty more than the throne.

As for Adele, she was dazed, like, Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?
