Early in the Morning

Hearing his words, Caius laughed out loud.

"The human race has already degenerated to the point of letting a little girl be my queen?" Caius' dark eyes looked extraordinarily wild and unrestrained. "Do you not think that it is ridiculous?"

Caius Acheron is a moody person with an unpredictable and volatile temperament. He was just dissatisfied a while ago, but now he laughs with such joy as if he has heard the funniest joke in the world.

Seeing the vampire king laughing, the other servants in the hall quickly followed suit for fear that Caius would have them punished if they were not careful.

When his laughter died down, the hall turned silent. Caius put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up, and straightened his clothes.

"I have to get ready to meet my queen tomorrow," Caius said and immediately walked out of the hall, leaving only that sentence behind.

Maybe because of his curiosity about this little girl who was to be his vampire queen, Caius held a little bit of expectation for their meeting. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up again, looking wild and devilish.

In the vampire realm, the word has spread that the vampire king's wife-to-be is only a seven-year-old girl. They were all betting on when this little queen would be buried underground like the eighteen previous vampire queens.

Human Realm

The next day, Venera was rushed to take a bath and dress up so early in the morning. She stayed quiet throughout the ordeal, just like a good girl, not crying or fussing. Instead, Venera stared at a young woman who was washing and dressing Venera herself with big, bright eyes.

"Sister, why do I have to I wear red clothes?"

Maybe Venera has not realized that she has become the vampire king's wife, and the woman who grooms her, Emily, feels a little sorry. She looked at Venera again, who watched her, looking very cute with a confused expression on her face, and inwardly sighed at Venera's fate.

Why was such a good little girl chosen as the vampire king's wife?

"Your Majesty, you are getting married today, so you are going to wear red clothes," Emily said.

Emily Oakley is 18 years old, with pretty features and her chocolate brown hair tied up in a ponytail.

She is the person who will accompany Venera into the vampire realm.

Originally, no one wanted to take on such a deadly task that could claim their lives, but Emily, who was urgently in need of money due to the medical debt of her family, went and volunteered. The money she had gotten for doing so was huge, and her family debt was no more.

Venera shook her body and the red oversized wedding dress that she wore also followed suit. It was just too big for her small body.

This was because even the priest did not expect that a little girl would be chosen as the vampire king's next wife, and thus, this wedding dress does not fit the little girl at all. But now they can only make do with it because there is not much time to resize the dress to fit her small and dainty stature.

Venera blinked and asked, "Sister, my dress is too big; can I change it to a smaller one?"

The look Venera gave Emily was so distressing that Emily had to forcefully tear her gaze away from Venera's to avoid her pity-provoking stare. If she would look at Venera a little longer, there was no guarantee what she would do to help Venera out of her current predicament, like taking Venera away from this absurd wedding of hers.

Emily kept silent as she carefully took the white platinum crown with rubies and fixed it on Venera's head.

"Your Majesty, this is a traditional vampire race's wedding dress, so, normally, it does not fit well," Emily lied with her eyes open.

Venera looked at Emily, who was busy helping her dress up and then looked at herself in the mirror. The headpiece on her head was a little too heavy, but seeing how serious Emily was about doing her job, Venera decided not to say anything and just sat in her seat obediently.

However, after a while, Venera suddenly realized that she had forgotten something and immediately asked the woman in front of her, "What is your name, sister?"

Emily smiled when she heard Venera's question.

Just a few moments ago, Venera was so sleepy that her head was nodding up and down like a chicken pecking on rice, looking about to fall asleep at any time, but the little girl suddenly woke up again. Emily thought that it might be because her hand movements were too heavy and thus disturbed the little girl.

"I am Emily, Emily Oakley, who will accompany Your Majesty into the vampire realm. Your Majesty can just call me Emily. There is no need to call me sister."

While saying so, Emily helped Venera wear a heavy necklace on her neck.

"No, it's still better for me to call you sister, and you don't have to call me 'Your Majesty'," Venera said. "Just call me Vera."

The little queen is so easy to get along with, so much so that Emily feels that her luck is extremely good. But it won't necessarily be so when they arrive in the vampire realm.

Vampire Realm

The vampire race had gotten up early in the morning to prepare for their king's wedding banquet. Although they were all aware that the present queen was only seven years old, they did not mean to neglect her at all, especially in front of the vampire king.

Caius had woken up early to dress for his wedding.

At this time, a man came into his bedroom with a knock.

"Caius, you woke up very early today," the man said as he leaned his back on the doorway and crossed his arms. "This is unlike your usual self." His tone sounded leisurely and casual.

This man who has spoken is the vampire king's good friend Micah Carson, who is the vampire duke personally appointed by Caius, the vampire king himself, so Micah does not need to pay much attention to formalities when dealing with Caius.

Caius tidied up his attire and looked himself up and down in the mirror with a wicked smile on his face.

"I have my wedding today and a wife to meet, so can I not wake up early to prepare?"
