Dr. Zhou explained to the vampire queen.
"This report is sufficient proof that the beverage developed by the Spire Group endangers all humans who drink it. Ordinary human medical institutions do not use magic to conduct medical experiments, which is why they are unable to detect the abnormality of this beverage."
hum-
A teleportation array lit up on one side of the throne room, and a black-haired girl appeared from it, handing the Queen a slightly thin, yellowed paper record.
“Your Majesty, it has been brought as you requested.”
Ludwig smiled slightly at her: "Well done, Rin. Your identity has probably been exposed. You can stay in the castle for now. I will also send someone to settle your brother and parents."
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty." Xiao Lin bowed and then withdrew.
...
"Your Majesty, what is that?"
The subjects of the throne room knew nothing about Ludwig's "blood puppet," and naturally had no idea what Rin had just given her.
Ludwig gave a wicked smile and handed the document to Dr. Zhou, who was standing to the side, signaling him to explain it to the court officials.
...
Dr. Zhou took it and looked at it, his eyes widening in surprise.
"This is... the original medical examination record of Capilison Spear! It bears the seal of the Fourth Hospital of Chongchuan City and includes several of his archival photos."
The X-ray images taken during the examination are sufficient proof that he suffers from a 'mental illness'.
Moonlight streamed onto the throne, making the vampire queen's silver hair gleam.
At that moment, a smile crept onto her face—a terrifying smile that meant she was about to "do something."
"Heh, a mentally ill person can't rule a large corporation, right?"
"And combining that with all the 'key items' we currently possess..."
She stood up, raised her hand, and traced her fingertips across each of the subjects in the throne room.
"The time is ripe; it is time to overthrow the 'empire'."
"The Eternal Queen grants the vampires eternal life... and this body, in turn, grants the vampires the future they deserve."
The silver-haired vampire queen looked out the window at the bright moon.
"When the eternal night descends, the ever-shining moon will hang high in the sky."
"The place where the bright moon shone at that time... was the land of our vampire clan."
...
...
...
If a hypocrite pretends to be virtuous his whole life, then he is a true gentleman.
But clearly, some people are not able to sustain such a lifelong performance, especially under the current sudden onslaught of public opinion.
...
Three days ago, the Vampire Queen announced to the world through the Human Union Council that she would deliver an important speech that evening.
This was her first high-profile public appearance since that memorable "conference verbal battle," and as a result, the world's media focused their cameras and microphones on the live broadcasts on various media outlets and platforms.
Even though the Spire Group realized something was wrong and frantically bribed various platforms to "silence" her, the world's attention remained focused on the vampire queen after three full days of online hype.
...
Soon, the appointed time arrived.
The vampire queen, Ludwig, dressed in a magnificent queenly gown and wearing an exquisite golden crown, appeared on the screen under the gaze of countless eyes.
This time, she didn't pretend to be mature, because she knew very well that after she said those words, no one would dare to underestimate her young and beautiful appearance.
"Fellow humans, fellow vampires. I am Ludwig von Nacht, the Eternal Night Queen of the vampires."
"In the thousands of years since the beginning of human history, the total time without war has amounted to only a few dozen days."
"Human greed knows no bounds. Therefore, the persecution and cruelty against vampires has continued for thousands of years under the influence of greed, and it continues to this day."
"Humans and vampires have their hands stained with each other's blood, as well as the blood of their own kind. It is now an indelible and unresolved mess."
"Under the leadership of the previous queen, the vampires broke the rule of seclusion and entered into a treaty of peaceful coexistence with humans. Only a few years have passed since then... but under the manipulation of villains with ulterior motives, this hard-won and fragile peace is already in grave danger."
"At this very moment, I, the Queen, will expose the lies of the villains to all my vampire subjects and humans around the world."
The Spier Group had already inadvertently admitted to frantically blocking all channels that could watch the Vampire Queen's live stream, but... it was already too late.
...
The vampire queen calmly produced document after document, displaying them directly on the screen as a PowerPoint presentation through the operator behind the scenes, ensuring everyone could see them clearly.
加#|1}<0-1~7@>4~5@9*+4<-9-}8 第一份记录。一/$零<##}#+~五@/酒}+|
The Church's "Archbishop"—the Plague Knight Schroed—conducted sinful research years ago—modifying vampire genes and creating the pathogen that caused the great catastrophe of the "Bloodlust Plague," which was then used by the Spire Corporation to develop "energy drinks."
The second record.
The medical records of President Spier. He suffers from severe psychological defects, and multiple psychologists have described him as "utterly inhuman."
The third record.
The Spyder Group's sinful rise to power a century ago. Vicious competition, the murder of the Yin family, illegal wealth accumulation, human trafficking, smuggling... numerous irrefutable pieces of evidence and materials are shocking.
The vampire queen's expression was aloof and elegant, calmly displaying her graceful regal bearing to the world.
"As I deliver this speech, the Vampire Council has already sent this information to the Human Union Council and the courts of various countries. Effective immediately, the Vampire Council is formally initiating lawsuits against the Spire Group through multiple legal institutions."
"Although the laws of a century ago are no longer applicable today, the Spier Group has clearly committed a crime that cannot be absolved at any time—a crime against humanity."
"Can you humans... truly tolerate such atrocities committed by the corporation?"
The queen on screen posed a soul-searching question to humanity worldwide.
"Finally, as the ruler of the vampires, I, the Queen, have a few words to say to you all."
"We vampires do not desire to share the same sky with humans, nor to be superior to them. Eternal life is a dream pursued by countless humans for thousands of years, but it is truly a curse, a curse from which we can never escape..."
"...and the vampires who suffer such a curse are simply trying to regain the life they have lost in this world that has abandoned us."
"The ancient past needs no further explanation. In the last few decades, there have been corrupt popes in the church who have tried to use vampires to conquer the world... and even after his death, there are still greedy forces like the Spiel Group that are using vampires for unknown reasons."
"We vampires need neither privileges nor human pity; for us dark creatures, the only hope is to live each day without fear."
"This vampire queen will fight for the future of the vampire clan until the very last moment."
"The Vampire Council, headed by this Queen, hereby declares, effective immediately, to the Spiel Group, the mastermind behind all of this—"
Declare war.
"Silent eternal night... the vampires will never perish."
Chapter 221 Family Matters
at this time.
In the great bath of the Eternal Night Castle.
When Ludwig and Ruoke arrived together, Lingxi and Lochina were already bathing there.
"Phew...so comfortable...hmm, my skin is itchy..."
"My dear daughter, this is the healing effect of the bath. Soak in it for a while, and your body will recover quickly."
"Um..."
Lochina was feeling dizzy from the hot bubbles in the bath, but when she saw Ludwig and Rucoko arrive, she instantly perked up:
"Sister Lulu, Sister Coco! I've been waiting for you for so long! Mom is washing my hair and scrubbing my body."
Her innocent and radiant smile is always so healing.
"Sister, this bath is amazing! The bruises on my body disappeared after just one scrub! And those sore spots too..."
Ludwig patted her head:
"Luoqina's body is rather weak, and her recovery ability is limited. Relaxing in this large bath is the fastest way to regain her health."
Lochina tilted her head, seemingly confused. "Lochina doesn't quite understand. But...Lochina knows it's very comfortable to take a bath here."
Ludwig smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Then enjoy it a little longer, my dear sister."
...
Lingxi, standing to the side, inexplicably pouted: "Hey, when did you start being so affectionate with me? My dear daughter."
"This is the right way to interact with children."
Ludwig stuck her tongue out at her.
"Queen Lingxi, or would you like to be treated like a child by me? I wouldn't mind, would I?"
Lingxi stuck out her tongue, mimicking her: "Tch, I won't stoop to the level of a silly girl."
Ludwig said, "So, could we have Queen Hilliot chat with us instead? I still think she's much easier to talk to than you."
Upon hearing this, Lingxi put her hands on her hips and snorted.
"Little Hilly is introverted. She gets shy and can't join in conversations when there are many people around. I'm more lively and cute, though, so I can chat with you all!"
Ludwig slowly immersed herself in the bathtub and waved her hand.
"Okay, whatever you want."
...
By this time, Ruo Keke had already recovered under the Blood Healer's treatment, and her appearance was exactly the same as before. Now, she was bathing with Ludwig, naturally to fulfill her daily duty—
To prepare the pampered vampire queen for bathing and grooming.
Adhering to the principle of never doing anything herself if she can do it for others, this vampire queen enjoyed the service of her personal maid with a clear conscience, which made Lingxi shake her head repeatedly.
But as Coco herself had said, this was not only a maid's duty, but also something that made her genuinely happy. Therefore, Lingxi understood that rashly opposing their peculiar relationship would only make her seem unromantic.
...
"Sigh, you've actually publicly declared war on the Spiel Group. You're really reckless, my little darling."
Lingxi said.
"We don't know how many people will support us. If in the end we're the only ones fighting alone..."
...
Ludwig smiled:
"Don't worry about that. My further plans haven't been implemented yet. And right now, the initiative is on our side. We'll see what actions the Spire Group takes next."
Lingxi asked, "What are the further plans?"
Through the hazy steam, Ludwig looked at her and gave her a wicked smile.
"Hmm. I have many plans on file, let me give you just one example."
"In the current situation, what is the most lacking thing for our vampire clan? In my opinion, there are many, such as—ambassadors."
"Queen Lingxi, think about it, what our vampire clan has no shortage of is eternally youthful and beautiful girls. We can train the beautiful vampire girls in the royal court to become 'ambassadors' or 'spokespersons' and make them a 'window' for the world to understand the vampire clan."
Lingxi looked enlightened and agreed with the suggestion.
"You're right, my little cutie!"
"The vampires' window to the outside world has always been the aloof and unapproachable Vampire Council. If we can use our youth and beauty to show the world the real vampires, it would be an extremely powerful tactic to counter the public opinion crisis."
Ludwig smiled and shook her head:
"But now is not the time to implement this plan. We must proceed step by step, and drink the blood one drop at a time. Including myself, most vampire girls have varying degrees of social anxiety, which makes it difficult for them to appear in public every day."
"Exempting them is still a bit of a stretch."
"As for other plans... we still need to 'treat the symptoms'. Facing an enemy like the Spier Group, rashly playing our cards... could easily lead to total defeat."
...
Lingxi moved closer to Ludwig and pinched her soft cheek.
