Chapter 305 : A Rose Wedding 31 (1/2)

Fei Qi’s expression suddenly changed, but he swiftly restrained himself and left the stage. “Lord Xi Yin.”

The other Princes’ expressions were also very strange, but they still stood out and respectfully saluted him as one. “Lord Xi Yin.”

When the other vampires saw the Princes’ behaviour and their form of address, they quickly remembered this person and their expressions all changed. They all bowed in salutation, their attitudes respectful and careful. “Lord Xi Yin.”

Ai Wei was completely stupefied. She didn’t know what had happened.

‘Is this man…a vampire too?’

“And here I thought you guys didn’t recognise me anymore.” A slight smile filled with wickedness and contempt appeared on Xi Yin’s face.

“We wouldn’t dare.” Fei Qi lowered his head even further, his thoughts filled with various iterations of ‘Why is he here?!’

And most importantly, he was together with Mi Nai.

‘No wonder Ke Er handed his authority over so easily! So he was waiting for me here! With Lord Xi Yin present, even the new Queen would have to lower her head, let alone me!’

He was the oldest generation vampire alive, as well as the strongest. Who would dare to give him trouble?

Over on the vampire hunters’ side, other than the few who were in the know, the rest were just as stupefied as Ai Wei.

‘Who’s that man? He’s so powerful that just stepping forward can get all the vampires to salute???’

The faint hint of a smile could be seen on Xi Yin’s face. “Bring the crown over.”

Fei Qi, “!!!”

‘Just what does Lord Xi Yin want the crown for?!’

“Lord Xi Yin—”

Xi Yin interrupted Fei Qi, “Don’t make me repeat myself.”

Fei Qi froze to the spot for a moment before gritting his teeth, turning around, and presenting the crown to Xi Yin.

His slender, pale fingers picked the crown up and, amidst the surprised, doubtful eyes of the crowd, placed it on Shi Sheng’s head. “Here’s my present.”

He was willing to give her the throne on a silver platter.

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘But I don’t want it! You’re all I want!’

Fei Qi and the other Princes were shocked into a daze. The title had switched hands? Just like that?

“Lord Xi Yin… Queen Ai Wei is appointed by the prophecy. Your conduct will doom our kind.” Fei Qi hardened his scalp and spoke.

“En.” Xi Yin’s attention was on helping Shi Sheng to put the crown on properly as he gave a half-hearted reply. He didn’t care about whether or not the vampires lived or died—he just wanted her to be happy.

“Very pretty.” Xi Yin smiled and complimented her.

Shi Sheng took a mirror out from somewhere and began examining herself with it under the watchful eyes of everyone present.

‘What pretty? I look like an idiot! Forget it… Even if he gave me a dog tail, I’d still have to wear it.’

The hall fell into a strange silence. This had been an unforeseen development.

“What? Need me to teach you how to greet your new monarch?” Xi Yin’s eyes narrowed as he broke the silence with a dangerous tone.

Fei Qi broke out in cold sweat. If he’d held the tiniest sliver of hope before, then now there was only fear.

He looked at Shi Sheng and, in the end, unwillingly got down on one knee to salute her. This was the highest-ranking etiquette that was only used when a new monarch was crowned.

“All hail Her Majesty, Queen Mi Nai.”

The surrounding people hurriedly knelt. “All hail Her Majesty, Queen Mi Nai.”

“All hail Her Majesty, Queen Mi Nai—”

“Since you guys were so unfriendly before, you can remain kneeling.”

‘I’m(bbb) not that magnanimous a person.’

She then turned to speak to Ke Er and company, “Godfather, you guys can get up.”
