Bloodline Rose (2)

He carried Cassie into the room he had prepared. Surprisingly, the decor of this room differed from the common perception of a seductive and cold vampire queen. It was adorned with lace, light pink hues, and embellished with pearls and gemstones, resembling an empire princess residing in an ivory tower, unfamiliar with worldly affairs.

Cassie almost instantly fell in love with the arrangement. Truth be told, she was just a 19-year-old girl, not a mature woman. Having just awakened as a queen, her mentality was no different from that of a child newly arrived in the world, making her more interested in such decorations.

Xavier seemed to subtly control everything.

To obtain his heart...

Cassie's lips curved slightly.

The Queen's talent was indeed a valuable asset.

Xavier noticed the faint upward curve on her lips.

In that moment, it was as if a rose in the mansion, dormant for a thousand years, had bloomed, bringing vibrant colors to the world. Countless devotion and infatuation surged, but he remained composed, suppressing this unusual feeling, "Does Your Majesty like this place?"

Cassie remained silent.

He wasn't annoyed either. Gently placing her on the equally luxurious and soft crystal coffin as the room, he said, "Xavier won't disturb Your Majesty any longer. If Your Majesty needs anything, just call me."

In his movements, he inadvertently revealed a glimpse of his snow-white neck. Cassie swayed her legs leisurely, her gaze falling on his exposed skin.

She caught a whiff of a sweet fragrance.

The blood of a vampire prince was incomparable to that of a common blood servant.

Sensitive as he was, with just a glance, Xavier understood the implications behind him. He smiled slightly, took off his broad cloak, pulled down the collar of his black shirt, and knelt in front of her with a single knee, "Is Your Majesty hungry?"

Cassie still didn't speak, watching him with almond-shaped eyes.

Her pupils were violet, more eye-catching than the most dazzling gemstone in the world.

Xavier's Adam's apple rolled, and he revealed another smile, "Then, I won't disturb Your Majesty."

He quietly withdrew.

In the dark, his confidant Odis quietly approached him, "Your Highness, that...?"

The talent suppression was too powerful; Odis didn't even dare to speak her name, fearing that once he did, an endless stream of belief would envelop him.

Xavier smiled without answering, calmly adjusting his collar.

With a perfect physique kissed by the gods, his butterfly-like bone structure was smooth and beautiful. However, at this moment, he was reminiscing about the touch of the girl in his arms.

Compared to the queen, calling her a girl would be more fitting. Her purple eyes were clean and innocent, the most beautiful appearance at the moment of birth, making people can't help but want to carefully depict it.

A charming and lovely rose.

He said, "Very cute."

Odis: "…?" What was cute? Odis was confused.

He saw the handsome prince lifting the corner of his lips, revealing that kind of—well, only a young man who had fallen in love would show such an infatuated smile, "She is beautiful and cute."

Xavier changed his mind.

Originally, he wanted to control the queen's consciousness, make her his puppet, so he could quietly control the entire vampire clan.

But when he felt the suppression of her talent, his initial reaction wasn't resistance but enjoyment. As if moved by some invisible force, he reached out, embraced her, and even willingly lowered his collar to offer her his blood. He wanted to try a different approach—what was the point of making her a puppet when he could willingly sacrifice himself?

For two quiet days, Cassie served as the mascot in the castle. Queen Cassie, beautiful and cold, like a rose growing in the ice and snow. The maids enjoyed serving her but dared not approach her due to her imposing aura.

During these two days, Xavier seemed busy, and Cassie didn't see him again. She wanted to ask the maids where he had gone—it was her target, after all—but she maintained her queenly demeanor.

On the third day, while standing by the window and admiring the castle's scenery, Cassie noticed Xavier's return. He dismounted wearily, and his attendants took his coat as they entered the castle together. Cassie raised an eyebrow, suddenly remembering that Xavier seemed to have a background in the human world and was a noble of some rank.

In this world, humans were aware of the existence of vampires. However, an agreement signed centuries ago divided the land, and vampires and humans coexisted without interference. Restless vampires could travel to the human world, maintaining harmony as long as they concealed their identities.

Soon, maids entered the room one after another. Tonight was an important night. As the legitimate queen of the vampires, Cassie would be crowned and officially take the throne. The maids dressed her in layers of luxurious gowns, adorned with silk, satin, and jewels that could enchant anyone's eyes.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment," she heard a maid's voice outside the door, "Her Majesty is changing her outfit."

The art of dressing was timeless, and before she knew it, dusk had arrived.

Once all the maids left, Cassie looked up to find Xavier walking in. He, too, was meticulously dressed in an elegant tailcoat, with a lingering fragrance.

"Your Majesty, you look truly beautiful tonight," he remarked with deep affection and admiration in his eyes.

This gown was personally selected by him, and the rose motifs on the skirt complemented her, making him wish to hide her away, unwilling to share her beauty with anyone else.

Cassie nodded faintly, carrying herself with the grace of a beautiful swan.

He took her hand, assuming the posture of a knight, "It has been two days. Has Your Majesty missed me?"

Cassie gave him a glance.

This development... seemed a bit different from what she had imagined.

Without receiving her answer, he didn't show any displeasure. Instead, he smiled, "I've missed Your Majesty a lot."

It was the truth—he had been thinking about how his little rose would blossom during his two days in the human world.

The banquet hall was bustling, with almost all the renowned vampires present. When they saw Xavier leading the queen, they couldn't conceal their surprise. They had expected Xavier's arrogant nature to lead to the immediate demise of the young queen.

Unexpectedly, seeing him in such a tamed state surprised them.

Even Xavier, with his demeanor, fueled their curiosity about the newly awakened queen—was the talent of racial suppression truly this formidable? And then, they laid eyes on the queen's radiant and charming face.
