The king suffers a blow

" Please continue…. " Hades urged Max as he completely ignored Regus. 

Listening to this comment, Regus felt the universe closing in around him as he noticed the evil smile on Max's face. 

If Max was not truly a primordial vampire, then why would he let himself be arrested without protest? 

Why would he not reveal this information to Regus when he confronted him personally in his chambers? 

Why would he allow himself the humiliation of imprisonment and his good name to be tarnished if it was all bogus? 

These were questions Regus previously wondered about, however, looking at the evil smile on Max's face it all became as clear as day as to why all this was happening. 

Max was behind this from the start, he had planned this event from the moment he realised that his true identity was about to be exposed and he played Regus like a pawn on his chessboard.
