Trust and Transparency
"Have you heard of the Blood Cocktail?"
Eve wasn't surprised by Lucius's question. She had suspected that he was quietly rallying nobles to his cause. Nevertheless, the mention of the Blood Cocktail intrigued her, she could not help but anticipate an interesting conversation.
"The Blood Cocktail?" Henrik's brow furrowed in confusion. "Are you talking about the Blood Cocktail that people in the black market had been talking about?"
Eve could not help but applaud Henrik's expression. He sincerely looked surprised.
Lucius beamed with pride as he explained, "The Blood Cocktail is an ambitious project I've undertaken. My goal is to create synthetic blood that could revolutionize the lives of vampires. Imagine a world where they no longer have to rely on hunting humans for sustenance. It could foster understanding and harmony between our species."
