Today, there will be two additional chapters, as promised. Once again, I thank Swcowboy for the active support of my book! I had to delay the extra chapters a bit due to personal issues, but I hope I didn't delay them too much. Enjoy your reading, friends!

Around Adam, a glow appeared, enveloping his body, and after a few seconds, he found himself in the Demon Queen's castle. It was her bedroom, where they had a good ti the last ti they t. Greeting her, Adam said, "Hello. I apologize for this sudden eting, but the question was indeed serious." He approached her and sat in front of her, asking, "What's happened?"
He noticed that Veronica wasn't looking at him and seed extrely offended. Although he understood the reason, for so reason, he wanted to tease her. So he asked this question, to which Veronica only looked at him with empty eyes, sending a shiver down Adam's spine.
Clearing his throat insincerely, he straightened up and smiled at her, to which the woman just snorted.
"I'm sorry. I wanted to contact you earlier, but there was so much to do. Besides, you understand that I'm always ready to welco you into my family, don't you?" He said, ending with a question to which Veronica nodded briefly. He smiled at this, though his smile was bitter and helpless. "But, of course, you don't agree that I have soone else besides you."
"Of course," she replied without a second thought. She crossed her arms on her chest and looked at him with an adoring gaze that expressed her desire to monopolize him. "If it were up to , I'd lock you in the basent and never let you go. And we'd be happy together."
Adam didn't respond to her fantasies and only sighed, leaning back in his chair. It was a bit problematic, but recalling the overall situation, he beca more serious and shifted the conversation to the main topic. Veronica also noticed this and stopped pretending to be offended.
"Veronica, I believe you should know about the 'Right Eye of the Demon King,' right?" He began to speak, and Veronica nodded in agreent to his question. Seeing this, he continued, "And you probably know about my won from Sylvana."
Again, she nodded, but this ti with resentnt and irritation. Adam gave a bitter smile and explained the situation, "One of my won exploded her source before I t her, and she has about a hundred years left to live."
Veronica frowned, "She exploded her source? What a foolish act. It can't be restored by normal ans, only if... Hey, wait a minute."
Her brows furrowed, and she looked at Adam with disbelief, "You asked about this item because I know how to use it, right? And, as I understand it, you want it for this nymph?"
"Exactly. I also found out it exists in this world, but it belongs to the Vampire Queen. I couldn't handle her alone, so I decided to seek your help," he replied, nodding.
"NO!" Veronica suddenly stood up and slamd her hand on the table, which left Adam with a puzzled expression. He looked at her and saw her face distorted with anger, reluctance, and jealousy. It seed like she could explode at any mont, but prematurely, she cooled down and calmly sat back.
"Ahem... I'm sorry, but I won't allow you to go to that lunatic," she said, clearing her throat. She looked away and snorted, "And stop staring at so bewildered. She's truly crazy and will drink your blood as soon as she sees you."
"Are you saying that even you can't handle her?" Adam asked, to which he received a response in the form of Veronica's irritated expression, "What else? Veronica, stop giving strange answers and tell what's going on. Anna's life is at stake."
Although there was clear reluctance on her face, hearing Adam's sincere request and his concerned tone, she could only grit her teeth and sigh, giving an adequate response to the question.
"In short, she adores the blood of royal bloodline demons. In my youth, she chased after just to drink my blood and even offered her entire kingdom in exchange for a liter of my blood," she began her story with disgust on her face. "Of course, I refused, and this lunatic tried to chase after your older brothers, although she got nothing out of it. I gave her a good beating!"
Another lunatic. Adam leaned back in his chair and rembered that Casanova had also described her as insane. Although he didn't pay much attention to it, since he said the sa about Veronica, and it turned out as it did. But... now he was puzzled.
"So, what should we do then? I can't let Anna die," he said, sighing heavily.
"Just give up," Veronica replied, frowning. "You need to understand one thing – acquiring this item is impossible. You'll have to offer sothing of equal value, and most likely, she'll want to take you into slavery and turn you into her mobile kitchen. I won't allow that."
He didn't reply and just crossed his arms, closing his eyes. The situation was worse than ever, which couldn't help but irritate him. He couldn't follow Veronica's advice because leaving Anna in her current condition ant abandoning her to fate. He didn't want that.
There was silence, broken only by Adam's deep sighs. No matter what he did, the result was the sa: nothing else could compare in uniqueness to the source.
"The problem with nymphs and their sources is extrely serious. I have to choose a replacent more responsibly, but it's a challenging task," he thought, furrowing his brow and cracking his neck. "An unpleasant task... how can I persuade the Vampire Queen to give this item?"
Adam had nothing valuable in his possession that would be suitable for the exchange. It couldn't be denied that even if he put all his wealth on the table, he wouldn't be able to buy the item. It provided a powerful source of magic, which could create a second magic source, boosting a mage's power tenfold.
"It's annoying. It's annoying. It's so annoying."
Adam clutched his head, feeling his whole body ache from tension. His anger resonated with magical energy, and he experienced a turbulent surge of magical energy. Problem after problem, and he was left with a sense of helplessness.
And when he was deep in thought and self-flagellation, a sudden female voice, belonging to Veronica, broke the silence. She said with a sigh, "Okay, I'll help you et her. She's equal in power to , so I can resist her." When Adam looked at her, she turned her gaze away with embarrassnt. "Stop staring. I just want to help you because I don't like seeing helplessness on your face. It doesn't suit you."
"Hmm..."
Adam involuntarily smiled and nodded, thanking her. She just waved it off.
The next day, Adam looked at the heavy, reinforced armor hanging on an armor stand with bewildernt. Veronica had brought him to this place, saying, "You need to prepare." If he understood correctly, he would have to put it on.
"Why do I need this? Is the Blood Empire's territory really that dangerous?" he asked, puzzled.
"Of course! You can't imagine how many hungry vampires roam there," Veronica replied with disgust, waving her hand. "They're just waiting for the mont to suck your blood. Ugh!"
"Well..." Although Adam didn't want to put on such heavy armor, he decided to follow her advice and did it. When he had everything on except the helt...
"You should put on the helt too. You see, you shouldn't underestimate the vampires!" she said with a serious expression.
"One more question, Veronica... are there many won in the Blood Empire?" Adam asked with skepticism.
"..."
Veronica's unwillingness to answer spoke volus. He could only shake his head and put on the helt, not wanting to pursue that topic any further. Afterward, Veronica grabbed his hand, and a flash surrounded them.
***
Blood Empire.
This space presented itself as a gloomy place as if the world had lost its colors, with only occasional red structures visible. Grave silence prevailed, as if no one lived here, while the atmosphere was suffocating as if you had entered a graveyard at night.
Sowhere in the distance, city walls could be seen. Adam and Veronica were heading there at high speed.
From ti to ti, they encountered various monsters that attacked them but were quickly dispatched. They also noticed vampires keeping an eye on them. The path was long, but they were getting closer and closer. The city walls were dark, with vampires clad in black armor standing on the towers. Upon seeing them, the vampires imdiately hissed and began firing warning shots.
"How annoying they are!" Veronica said irritably, hovering in the air about five ters from the walls. She suddenly released her aura, and the guards who had been shooting at them monts ago fell to the ground, trembling in fear.
At the sa ti, on the other side of the city, a powerful aura suddenly appeared, matching Veronica's aura. This led to a clash that made Veronica grin. This aura was filled with bloodlust and anger, creating a very aggressive atmosphere. Suddenly, the city gates swung open, and a woman appeared.
It was the Vampire Queen, who gazed at Veronica with a wild grin. Her eyes were filled with rivalry and bloodthirst, perating the entire space with a heavy atmosphere.
"Have you co to willingly? Have you finally decided to give your blood?"
To be continued...
