Devitt lchior?!
Oh, so it’s this guy.
The princess’s evaluations of this fourth prince flowed through Violet’s mind, and suddenly many things seed to be understood as if a veil had been lifted.
No wonder this guy showed no intention of rallying dostic forces, it was because he had found the powerful external support of the vampires.
Moreover, Lilya had ntioned suspicions about the death of the Crown Prince Torin lchior and the severe illness of the old king being closely related to the fourth prince, Devitt.
Although Ben, the second prince, had confessed at “Hall of All Spirits Temple” that he was responsible for Torin’s death, it didn’t an Devitt was completely unrelated.
It was possible that their collaboration led to the death of the heir, just like the previous plot against Princess Lilya. It was also possible that Ben was just a diversion and a scapegoat, and Devitt, the fourth prince, was the true mastermind behind everything!
Of course, these were just Violet’s speculations, but at least from the current situation, Devitt did indeed have aspirations for the throne.
Moreover...
As she got closer, the reaction from the blood bat brooch in her palm, with its refreshing sensation, beca more intense. Violet had a vague feeling that the target indicated by the 【Blood of Dawn】 was the vampire princess nad Lucine Constantius below.
Or to put it another way, its previous owner, Aphra Constantius, now transford into the spirit of the artifact, might have so connection with her.
After all, she, Aphra, and the Blood Clan Duke nad Julius seed to share the surna Constantius. This should be a powerful family that had been passed down through generations.
And in the equipnt description, it clearly ntioned that “Blood of Dawn” was a gift from Lucine to Aphra, so it shouldn’t be a case of identical nas.
The dialogue below continued.
“So boring... Julius, you completely misunderstood. What our vampire clan needs is not power or status. It’s a Blood Emperor who can lead the entire clan, far more powerful than any prince!”
Another elder-looking male vampire, although neatly dressed but rather plain, stood beside Lucine and unabashedly shouted at Julius.
“I’m going back. Whatever commotion you want to create, go ahead, just like it was three hundred years ago.”
The vampire loli in the black Lolita dress didn’t even bother to respond, simply turned around, and walked away, the elder walking alongside her.
These two seed to hold a very high status among the vampires. With them leading, at least two-thirds of the hall also began to move, while the remaining ones looked around hesitantly.
“Wait!”
Despite Julius’s urgent shout, Princess Lucine only slightly paused, not bothering to turn her head.
“I’ll give you one chance. If what you say next doesn’t satisfy , even if you’re that guy’s child, you’ll pay the price for wasting so much of my ti...”
Lucine raised her fair little hand, and a strange spear, seemingly ford from coagulated blood, flowed into shape. It caused several exclamations in the crowd.
“The Godslayer Spear, Longinus! Isn’t this our clan’s ancestral artifact? The sacred item passed down by the founding lord is now in Lady Lucine’s hands...”
“This is a treasure comparable to the Holy Empire’s Three Artifacts. Even if those lords were still alive, they would not be able to compete with Lady Lucine, who wields the Godslayer Spear.”
“Yeah, it seems Lady Lucine is really dissatisfied with the recent actions of those radicals. This is a demonstration, indeed. Second-generation vampires are truly incomparable to us branch descendants.”
Except for the plain elder standing beside Lucine, it seed that the other vampires, including Duke Julius, were all subdued by the little loli. Even though she was less than one and a half ters tall, at this mont... she had beco the center of attention in the entire hall.
Violet, who was hiding on the side, was also sowhat surprised. The blood-colored spear called the “Godslayer Spear” did emit a very powerful aura.
Although she couldn’t get a clear feel due to the lack of close contact, it was estimated that it was at least not inferior to the “Blood of Dawn,” the treasure nurtured by the pseudo-god for three hundred years.
When Lucine’s montum erupted, Violet also sensed her approximate power level.
Very strong, probably above level 60, even approaching level 70, very close to pseudo-god status, but it seed to be stuck at so bottleneck, unable to break through that barrier.
Apart from encountering various spirits and Aphra, who transford into the blasphemous cocoon, Violet considered Lucine the strongest being she had encountered in this world.
And perhaps it was an illusion, but the priestess felt that the little loli just glanced at her direction with the corner of her eye?
Julius, after all, was comparable to a legendary Blood Clan Duke. After being briefly overwheld by the joint montum of surpassing the peak and the clan’s treasure, he quickly recovered. It seed that he was not afraid of the impatience of the prince and instead smiled as if he had expected it.
“Princess Lucine, please be patient. You are the leader of the stabilizing faction in the clan and one of the strongest figures in the world. Ordinary things may not catch your eye, but if it’s a divine gift...”
The other vampires looked bewildered, seemingly not understanding the aning of the term, but Lucine and the elder were stunned, turning back in surprise.
“You found a divine gift? Which deity, and what kind of gift?”
As she spoke, the little loli surprisingly voluntarily retracted the blood-colored spear in her hand, looking like she was moved by Julius’s words.
“Hehe...”
The Blood Clan Duke chuckled cunningly, not avoiding the many ears present, and spoke frankly.
“Have you ever heard of the legend of the ‘Wishing Spirit Treasure,’ Your Highness?”
“You an... the story passed down in that canyon in the country?”
After so thought, Lucine nodded slightly.
“I have so knowledge of it.”
Julius chuckled again. Although Lucine said so, he knew that the princess was not rely acquainted with the matter.
According to his investigation, despite Lucine wandering far and wide, elusive like a dragon, she had a special fondness for the Human United Kingdom. In recent centuries, she had been seen multiple tis within the kingdom, especially in the vicinity of the Oaken Grand Canyon.
As for what she was looking for...
“Hehe, Your Highness also knows that divine gifts can only be used by the gods themselves or their direct descendants. For example, offspring born through reproductive ans, or a second-generation vampire like you embraced by the Great Ancestor. Therefore, you can make a wish on the ‘Wishing Spirit Treasure.'”
Julius added with a smile.
“As long as... you can find it.”
“............”
The little loli remained silent for a long ti.
“Go ahead, share your plan.”
Seeing that the powerful prince finally agreed, even Julius, who was already quite confident, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Overjoyed, he imdiately turned to the side and, with the most standard noble etiquette, bowed and gestured to lead the way.
“How about discussing it in private?”
He understood very well that since the simultaneous fall of the three radical princes in the Glory City three hundred years ago, Lucine, the leader of the stabilist faction, had beco the most powerful force among the current vampires. As one of the three surviving among the six royals, her opinions represented... the opinions of the vampire clan.
