Seeing Torre standing there motionless, the elegantly dressed blonde girl couldn't help but let out a soft, cold laugh.
"hiss..."
"You've always been very polite."
She leaped off the table, her toes barely touching the ground, and floated as lightly as a feather to Torre's side.
She put her hands behind her back and bent down.
"...But your performance review report must still be a complete and truthful account, without missing a single word, understand?"
Torre breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed she was unaware that he was secretly investigating her.
He calmly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
...
After listening to Torre's summary of his work over the past year, the Queen learned that the Vampire Council had initiated the succession bill and found an heir.
"Oh, so our royal court now has a vampire princess."
"So, without my knowledge, I have gained a daughter in name only?"
She took Torre's teapot and brewed herself a cup of blood tea.
Those in high positions must be careful with their words and actions, and must have sufficient analytical and response capabilities to every word spoken by their superiors.
Torre clearly sensed the incongruity in that statement.
Why didn't she mention Her Majesty the Queen when she said "I don't know"? Could it be—
He swallowed hard, then spoke:
"Your Highness, are you aware of Her Majesty's disappearance...?"
...
"Did I give you permission to ask the question?"
She smiled slightly.
"Answer the question first, okay?"
Although there was nothing unusual around him, a strong sense of impending death loomed over Torre—stronger than ever after the princess uttered those words.
The immense pressure made it almost impossible for Torre to breathe, and he struggled to suppress his increasingly uncontrollable trembling.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Because you and Queen Siriot left without saying goodbye a year ago, the vampires cannot be without a ruler for a day. Therefore, we have determined the crown prince in accordance with the succession law. If the queen has not returned to the throne after a year, she will be crowned as the new vampire queen."
Torre was determined to go all out and simply said the rest of his words.
“If we can find the missing Queen Siriote, then the succession law will automatically terminate, and everything will return to normal.”
...
"Yes, my little Shirley has something to do right now and can't come back for the time being."
The blonde girl named Yang Lingxi looked at her fingernails twice in the dim light, then lightly licked the tea stains on them with the tip of her tongue.
"hiss..."
She smiled.
"Pass it on, Torre, the Regency Act is to be activated from this day forward."
"I, the Prince, will act as regent during the Queen's absence and will possess all her rights, namely, supreme power over the entire Vampire Royal Court, the Vampire Council, and all aspects of the Vampire race."
That is, to take over the monarchy.
She gave a soft, cold laugh.
As for the succession bill...
The girl stretched and walked gracefully towards the door.
"Hmm...we'll talk about it later. I'm a little tired right now, I need to take a bath and get some sleep. I hope you'll have everything taken care of when I wake up."
As her footsteps faded into the distance, the murderous intent surrounding them diminished, and Torre, who was almost drenched in cold sweat, finally managed to move.
"Oh no... I have to..."
Just as he was about to stand up, a strand of golden hair brushed against his cheek and flashed past the corner of his eye.
...
"Don't think I don't know what you're doing!"
The blonde girl whispered in his ear, like a sweet declaration of death.
...
Torre turned his head, his face pale, but there was nothing around him.
He collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.
...
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Earth.
“Hahahahahahahahaha!”
"Hahahahahaha!"
The man riding in that bizarre "race car" laughed, his laughter sounding particularly jarring amidst the roar of the engine.
"This madman used to at least say a few words, but now all he can do is laugh?! Is Chess Clan some kind of mental illness shelter?"
Yin Shang was so annoyed by his laughter that he slammed the steering wheel.
brake--
Yin Shang intended to use this sudden stop to turn around again and avoid the "fierce horse" that was about to catch up with him again, but his laughter did not stop at all.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"
Click!Click!
In the next instant, the bone spikes on the side of the spiked race car suddenly sprang outward like a falcon spreading its wings, extending into a sharp blade several meters wide!
With its extremely high speed, like a bullet leaving the barrel, Yin Shang and the taxi would be cut in half at the next instant!
Yin Shang roared, "Reinhardt!"
Clack clack—ding!
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
Yin Shang's veins bulged, and the Sword of Hesitation unleashed an incomparably dazzling light in that instant, firmly blocking the enormous bone blade capable of tearing through steel—
Yin Shang, who was sitting in the car, was like "animal entrails" hanging on a knife. He was forcibly pulled out of the car and thrown out like an arrow.
"Ugh!"
...
...
brake--
The race car, as ferocious as a wild horse, temporarily stopped its seemingly endless roar.
The man who had been sitting in the convertible got out of the car, still looking deranged.
"Ah... the prey's screams are simply heavenly!"
He stood by the roadside, looking around.
"Hahahaha, those screams are so delightful!"
The madman, disregarding whether anyone witnessed his murder, burst into maniacal laughter.
After laughing for a while, he stood on the side of the road and looked down.
"The boss ordered that we must find the body at all costs. He wants me to find where the man surnamed Yin's body is. What if he's smashed to pieces..."
"Hahaha! Then I'll use the burlap sack I used for garbage—"
...
——Bang!
"Stop fucking looking, I'm right here."
As soon as Ma Jifeng turned around, his face, which infuriated Yin Shang, was struck by a heavy punch.
"Pfft!"
The force of the blow nearly broke Yin Shang's finger.
Because he was really angry.
"what!!"
"You surnamed Yin! I—ah—"
The reckless racer plunged straight off the cliff beside the highway, his screams abruptly ceasing a few seconds later.
"Pah, even if you're not dead, you'd better get to the hospital. Don't bother me."
Yin Shang's battered and bruised Wanderer Armor gradually disappeared; it had been severely deformed by the impact. Fortunately, it wasn't true armor, and it would be restored to its original state upon the next summoning.
Yin Shang turned away angrily.
He heard the approaching sirens and decided he didn't want to linger there any longer.
...
"Ah... my ribs."
"Master, thank goodness you reacted quickly. If you hadn't grabbed the blade and hidden under the car, you would have definitely fallen off the cliff!"
"Thanks to your... armor..."
"Master? Master!"
"I'm fine... I'm still within your treatment range, but I'm a little too weak to walk. I think I've overexerted myself."
Yin Shang took out his phone, pulled out the SIM card, and threw it away.
"I need to change my number and tell those two girls... the group has mobilized its chess players, they're in danger!"
Chapter 54 Entropy's Unfortunate Adventure
"Hey?"
If you can answer the call.
"Who is it? That Shang guy? Why did you change your phone number?"
"Let me remind you again, my name is Yin Shang. Let your young lady answer the phone."
"..."
"Hmph, don't upset the young lady."
A moment later, Ludwig picked up her phone.
"Stupid knight? Hah..."
She looked like she hadn't woken up yet, yawning.
"What, you found them?"
Yin Shang sighed and said, "Let me remind you, it's the Wandering Knights. When will you ever get the right name? I've found some clues, but I haven't found the people, neither your queen... nor that princess."
He said.
"They are still missing, but the results of my investigation differ from what you told me."
Yin Shang told Ludwig everything he had learned from the Vampire Council and about his experiences in Bailing City.
