Chapter 32: I want to be both your younger brother and stepmother. (9)
"They are just low-level vampires. There's no need to treat them kindly."
Speaking was the vampire who had just been rescued. His name was Louis, also from a prominent family. Originally, he was a strong contender against Feilin and Dila, but an accident prevented him from participating in the competition that day, which inadvertently benefited Dila.
Over the years, although he hadn't dared to openly target the two, he had made plenty of moves behind the scenes. However, he wasn't foolish; he knew that the two had powerful backers, so he only engaged in minor mischief and didn't dare to truly offend them.
Since Yue Chu's arrival, Louis had sensed a change in the wind, but the attitude of King Rafa forced him to remain cautious. However...
He looked at the pure-blood vampire before him, who had once again regained his gentle smile. This person was even more outstanding than he had imagined. If he were the king, he would choose him over that idiot Xinuo. Louis couldn't understand what the king was thinking.
Yue Chu was overseeing the counting of bodies, removing the insignias from each Flame Legion warrior as spoils of war, while the remaining bodies were cremated without a trace.
He glanced at Louis indifferently. "Why was the Flame Legion pursuing them? Because they are vampires. Why did I protect them? For the same reason."
Louis pondered for a moment. It seemed to make sense. He grinned, revealing a ferocious smile, his crimson eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light. As long as he was against humans, he was fine with it. He liked this reasoning.
Just then, Xinuo, dressed in white, finally arrived. Seeing that the mission was already completed, he didn't say anything, just arrogantly turned and left, without uttering a word.
The vampires looked at each other, some unable to conceal their dissatisfaction. What did Prince Xinuo mean? He was nowhere to be found when it mattered, but after it was over, he claimed the credit and acted as if no one else mattered.
Yue Chu smiled gently. "Please, Your Highness, stay a moment. In this trial, we eliminated thirty-seven Flame Legion warriors, with only three of our own injured and no fatalities. Here are the captured insignias. Please accept them."
Yue Chu bent down, respectfully offering the insignias with both hands. Since the king had instructed him not to vie for credit, he naturally intended to adhere to that.
With his head bowed, his long lashes obscured the playful glint in his eyes, giving him an appearance of humility and deference.
Feilin pressed her lips together without speaking but inwardly hoped that Prince Xinuo would accept these insignias with a good attitude so that it would be easier to explain to the king later.
Louis, on the other hand, sneered disdainfully, taking a step back to lean against a tree, his gaze drifting into the distance as if he were admiring the scenery.
Xinuo had no intention of accepting Yue Chu's feigned goodwill. He knew he had acted wrongly this time, but when Anna was in danger, he had to go to her aid immediately.
"No need," Xinuo said coldly, waving his hand to push away Yue Chu. The crimson insignias clattered to the ground, their once shiny metal surfaces now smeared with dirt and dust.
