Volume 4 Chapter 192
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 192: The Betrothed Consort Xia Yi
During the daily court assembly in the main hall of the Vampire Clan palace, an additional figure stood by her side—a silver dragon loli.
The ministers below were greatly puzzled and found it very strange. Why would the Vampire Clan Divine Ancestor allow a Dragon to stand by her side in the court?
This was a privilege not even enjoyed by Vampire Clan Princes.
Just as everyone was wondering, Elizabeth herself spoke first. Her opening sentence was like a massive bombshell, leaving everyone utterly astonished.
“I have decided to make Xia Yi my consort,” she said.
“What?!”
The eyes of the Vampire Clan ministers widened in shock.
Huh?
Xia Yi was completely dumbfounded, as if her brain had overheated from processing this.
Marriage???
“Divine Ancestor, are you serious?!” Morton was appalled.
All the gazes directed at Xia Yi were filled with profound confusion and shock.
However, some among them recognized the silver dragon loli’s identity.
“That seems to be the Silver Dragon Princess! She was in the Dragon Kingdom during the Divine Ancestor’s coronation ceremony!”
The Silver Dragon Princess, Xia Yi Christine, from the rare Silver Dragon Clan of the Dragon Kingdom.
The only daughter of the Silver Dragon Queen, the future heir of the Dragon Clan.
Some time ago, the Vampire Clan Divine Ancestor left the empire and secretly went to the border region of the Holy Scarlet Empire. It was said she captured a Dragon and imprisoned them within the palace.
Initially, no one knew the identity of this Dragon. Only now did they learn that she had actually brought back the Silver Dragon Princess.
And now the Vampire Clan Divine Ancestor intended to marry her?
This piece of news was quite explosive.
Although on this land, marriage between women, while quite rare, was not entirely unheard of.
“Morton, do you think I’m joking?” Elizabeth retorted. “Since I’m announcing this in court to all you ministers, it shows I take this matter very seriously by informing you.”
“I see.”
Morton indicated his understanding and said no more.
Unlike other Vampire Clan members, he had long been corrupted and dominated by Elizabeth, becoming her most loyal puppet who would unconditionally support every decision of the Vampire Clan Divine Ancestor.
But the other ministers had quite a few reservations about this matter.
Even if the Vampire Clan Divine Ancestor were to marry a woman, she should at least choose from among the Vampire Clan to continue her own bloodline, right?
Marrying a defeated enemy princess—what kind of farce is this?
“Divine Ancestor, we implore you to reconsider!”
A Vampire Clan minister stepped forward, kneeling on the ground to plead:
“The Divine Ancestor’s first consort is of utmost importance, as it concerns the continuation of our Vampire Clan’s bloodline in the future! Although the Silver Dragon Princess possesses an exceptional bloodline among Dragons, ultimately, she is an outsider!”
“That’s right, Divine Ancestor!! We beg you to prioritize considering the excellent bloodlines within our own Vampire Clan first!”
“How could a mere outsider presume to reach the lofty heights of the Divine Ancestor’s noble bloodline?!”
The Vampire Clan’s emphasis on bloodline was far greater than that of other races, even to a degree that seemed almost obsessive to outsiders.
They demanded not only noble birth but also extremely high purity.
Nobles might take concubines for amusement, but for continuing the bloodline, they must still select equally outstanding noble bloodlines. Downward compatibility was absolutely forbidden.
Polluting the purity of the bloodline violated Vampire Clan law.
“Divine Ancestor, we implore you to consider the importance of upholding our Vampire Clan laws!”
The minister who had first offered the admonition bowed deeply in request.
“Vampire Clan laws? In this day and age, do such meaningless things still exist?” Elizabeth seemed somewhat displeased. “I feel none of these are as important as Xia Yiyi.”
“Divine Ancestor! This is the very foundation of our Vampire Clan’s existence!”
“You obstinate old fools, haven’t you caused enough trouble?!”
Morton strode towards those admonishing ministers. Without further ado, he grabbed one of them and slammed him directly into a pillar.
The minister who had first offered the admonition didn’t even have time to scream before his head exploded like a tomato.
This terrified all the other ministers, making them collapse to the floor, trembling.
“When did the Divine Ancestor’s decisions ever become subject to the judgment of you pedantic lot? How dare you even try to apply the rules of this era to the Divine Ancestor?”
Morton, his body stained with blood, glared fiercely at these people, his ferocious nature fully revealed.
All the ministers were stunned.
Because in their previous understanding, this Vice-Chairman of the Elder Council was a rather refined gentleman. Now he had become an outright thug.
“The Divine Ancestor doesn’t want to bother with you lot, but that doesn’t mean I agree with your opinions. If anyone else objects, step forward!!!”
These ministers used to love offering unsolicited advice to the Vampire Clan King to assert their presence. Herman had to balance various factions, which was why he dealt with the ministers’ machinations.
When the Vampire Clan Divine Ancestor took the throne, they thought the same tactics would work. The result was clear: one minister was squashed like an ant.
The ministers lowered their heads, bodies trembling, not daring to utter a word. Who would dare make a sound now?
“Morton, don’t make it so bloody. It’s unnecessary.”
Elizabeth stood up. She released a blood aura that enveloped the body of the minister whose head had become tomato sauce. A divine halo manifested behind her. She actually actively repaired the shattered head, bestowing a blessing that revived the minister who should have been dead.
To everyone present, this scene was nothing short of a miracle. No Vampire Clan King before the Vampire Clan’s Divine Ancestor could have possibly achieved this.
“Thank you, Divine Ancestor, for your mercy, for forgiving my ignorance and folly, for bestowing this miracle and saving my insignificant life!!”
After experiencing life and death, that minister abandoned all his former notions, becoming a complete believer in the Vampire Clan Divine Ancestor, filled with immense remorse for his earlier actions.
“Divine Ancestor, please select an auspicious date for you and the Silver Dragon Princess to marry,” Morton requested.
The other ministers chimed in agreement.
“Yes! The Divine Ancestor and the Silver Dragon Princess are a match made in heaven! The wedding should be held as soon as possible!”
Thus, not a single person opposed Elizabeth taking Xia Yi as her consort. The ministers who had objected earlier all changed their tune completely.
“Good, then let’s hold the wedding soon!” Elizabeth nodded happily.
After the court session adjourned, everyone else left the main hall. Now only Elizabeth and Xia Yi remained.
“Don’t you have anything to say, my future betrothed consort~?” Elizabeth pinched Xia Yi’s cheek.
Xia Yi, who had been completely frozen, seemed to finally reboot. She shouted, “Wicked woman, I don’t want to marry you!!”
