The Green Tea's Target is Always Wrong【Quick Transmigration】(Completed BL)

Chapter 37: I want to be both your younger brother and stepmother. (14)

Feilin's eyes were hollow as she slumped weakly on the ground. Indeed, it had come to this.

Yue Chu quietly bowed his head, silently applauding Xinuo in his mind. This scene was even more thrilling than he had anticipated.

Rafa remained calm, his gaze upon Xinuo steady, his words calm as well.

"In that case, Xinuo shall be stripped of his prince title and demoted to a commoner."

Xinuo froze for a moment, his pupils shrinking abruptly. He hadn't expected the king to say such words. However, he quickly clenched his fists, suppressing the panic in his heart, and pulled out a cold smirk.

Stripped of his title? He had never cared anyway!

However, the elders couldn't sit still. The simple words of the king were enough to stir up a huge wave within the vampire clan, affecting the interests of countless individuals.

The elders exchanged secretive glances, pushing Rozi, who held a high position of authority, forward.

Rozi knelt down, lowering himself to the ground in the most submissive posture. While Xinuo, basking in the king's favor, had always been disrespectful, these old men who had followed the king for many years knew how cruel their ruler could be.

A millennium ago, during the Rebellion of the Seventh Month, three generations of vampires sought to overthrow the king's rule and establish a new order. The result was that their heads were placed in the central square for a whole year, eventually drying up into mere bones and dust. The streets of the royal city flowed with blood, and all the vampires involved in the rebellion were killed.

Too many years had passed, and the newborn vampires had never experienced such brutality, which is why they dared to challenge the king.

Rozi trembled as he spoke, "Your Majesty, Prince Xinuo has been groomed as the heir to the throne since he is a pure-blood. If his title is directly stripped from him, it may... it may lead to unrest."

He licked his dry lips, unable to continue. What unrest meant was simply too many interests at stake, likely to peel off layers of nobility. Perhaps these matters were inconsequential in the eyes of the king, but as elders, they couldn't help but consider their interests.

However, regardless of whether those people would die or not, Rozi now felt like a sword hung over his throat, ready to sever his head at any moment.

Yet, the elders were not without insight. The passage of time had given them a keen sense of the king's intentions.

For such a confidential matter, the king had personally summoned Yue Chu, and the implications were obvious.

Rozi continued with a stiff upper lip, "Now that there are already two pure-bloods, it might be better to appoint Yue Chu as the prince first, and then transition slowly."

Rafa paused, his gaze momentarily frozen. Indeed, this was the most prudent method, advantageous from all perspectives, but...

A resistance emerged within him. He didn't want to have such a father-son relationship with Yue Chu. He had a premonition that such a relationship would hinder his hidden and unknown intentions. Compared to being a mere heir, he seemed to have other, even murkier intentions.

Rafa slowly tightened his fingers, his gaze involuntarily shifting to Yue Chu.

At this moment, Yue Chu had lifted his head, looking unabashedly at Rafa, his eyes still gentle, devoid of fear or delight, just straightforwardly and warmly gazing at him, full of trust.

He was telling Rafa that whatever decision he made, he would accept it willingly.

Such trust shattered Rafa's last shred of doubt. The noble king couldn't help but feel a bittersweet helplessness in his heart, ultimately agreeing to the elders' proposal.
