SPELLBOUND-Chapter 692 There Are

"It's sad that they have to force the queen to show them this side of her. But I guess, it's better this way. Fear is sometimes necessary for those who are too stupid for their own good." Leon also commented sarcastically when Zolan, who was at the front and standing next to Onyx's side, signaled them.

The four of them then picked out four vampires and shoved them to the ground, just several steps away from the queen. Falling to their faces, they scrambled to pick themselves up and looked fearfully at Queen Evie.

Looking down at the four men who were apparently the heads of this rebellion, Evie did not show them any emotion. Her eyes then settled on the two men in the middle. They were among the few Dukes of the vampires who are the heads of the most powerful houses.

"Forgive us! Queen Evielyn. Forgive us! I am telling the truth, Your Majesty, we are fighting not to overthrow you. We are only fighting for our rights a�"" One of the two in the middle still dared to spout lies when he was already at this point. He truly was an idiot for thinking that the Queen was as easily fooled as he thought.

"Rights..." Evie's sharp and chilly voice cut the pleading duke off. "When ever did the vampires consider drinking blood from humans a right?" Her eyes then narrowed with a dangerous glint in them as she stared unblinkingly at him.

Before the duke could respond, Evie glared dangerously. "If you claim that it is your right to drink human blood, the human also has the same right to refuse from being taken as your drinking source. The rule of the vampires is that they can drink only from a willing individual. I have ordered the closure and demolition of all the human livestock cities vampires like you have created since long ago because of a simple reason, Duke Abner... it's all because those humans have the right to be free and live as a human and not as a livestock. Now... you tell me you are fighting because of that? Because you can't accept that I ordered the end of the human livestocking business you are doing? I've reminded you of this before, Duke Abner. The vampires' tyranny is long over. We are now entering a new age. Humans were never meant to be the vampires' food. Just because humans are the weaker race, doesn't mean you can treat them like a mere livestock. So, if you men cannot even control your gluttony and addiction to human blood, then I guess... I don't have a choice but to turn you all into ashes, right here, right now." Evie gave them an ultimatum as though asking them to make a choice on something trivial.

That vampire and the others began to wail and beg again but Evie ignored them. Her gaze fell to the other Duke beside Duke Abner. The man among the four who have yet to utter a single word yet. Duke Henrys was the only one who didn't beg.

"And Duke Henrys..." Evie focused her attention on him, "are you going to stay silent until the end?"

"I will never bow my head to a ruler who does not even have a single drop of vampire blood in their veins. I would rather die than do that! I will never acknowledge you as the ruler of the vampire land! Never!" the ancient vampire hissed. The will in his eyes burned wild and strong.

"Whoever told you that I am going to sit in the vampire's throne?" Evie's cold gaze pierced at him like ice.

Everyone was surprised and confused at her words. The rebels had thought that this non-vampire queen was trying to take over the throne and rule over them. That was why they were rebelling, thinking that they would then be ruled by a foreigner forever.

"Listen here, Duke Henrys and listen well. I am not going to be the one who will take the throne of the vampires. Someone else is going to take the vampire's crown because my throne isn't here." She told him with regal calmness.

"W-what are you... then who? Who's going to sit on the throne? Don't tell me... don't tell me you're going to choose just any vampire who is loyal to you since there is no longer any surviving vampire blue blood! And don't tell us King Gavriel will return! Because we won't believe your lies. If he was truly still alive, he would have been here a long time ago. Just admit that he's already dead a�"" Duke Henrys sneered.

Luc gave a sharp kick to the duke, causing him to cough up blood. "Shut your f**king mouth. His Majesty is not dead!"

"Then why isn't he here?!" Duke Henrys exclaimed with a taunting look in his eyes, challenging Luc's statement. "Do you think you can fool us a�""

Another kick flew out from Luc, and this time to the Duke's face. It did not just tick Luc off so much how the man was spouting nonsense that their King was dead, but also because he just could no longer stand how disrespectful this man was to their queen.

Evie lifted her hand to Luc and the man immediately stepped back.

"My husband is not going to sit in the vampire's throne because he's going to rule Lirea alongside me once he returns." Evie declared, causing everyone's eyes to widen in shock. "And no, the vampire's throne would not be given to just anyone who isn't of vampire blue blood."

"W-what are you... saying? Are you telling me... there are still other surviving blue-blooded vampires?" Duke Henrys stammered when a beautiful female voice echoed.

"There are..." the alluring voice answered his and the others' questions and when they looked for the source of that voice, they saw a woman with long black hair and grey eyes. In her arms, there was a boy with the same black hair and grey eyes as hers.
