Duke Sebastian's intimidating presence scares the vampires more than searing daylight; if it's a simple execution, their families will do everything they can to bring them back from the dead, but if they're annihilated by Duke Sebastian, they're truly dead.
Olivia turned and surveyed Sebastian, who sat at the top of the table with the same look those vampires had scorned her with.
Since he was not destined to live, he might as well be disgusted by this race that despised humans.
One has to admit that Sebastian is undoubtedly a handsome man. Even in a world where vampires are generally handsome, he still manages to catch someone's eye at first glance.
He wore long white hair, which didn't seem appropriate to say white hair; it was more like the color of tulips. High nose, deep golden pupils have disappeared anger.
Just then, a green hair next to her suddenly caught Olivia's attention.
Spare a thought; she hadn't dared to take much of a look at this group of so-called big shots before, and it wasn't until now that she noticed that the one sitting at the bottom of the pile was supposed to be the Duke of Mateo and that the other party's green hair looked so striking.
All of them watched as this human-sized them up as recklessly as they had sized her up before.
This kind of look irritated them and made them feel like merchandise being placed on the shelves, but since Duke Sebastian didn't even utter a word, they didn't dare to voice out any dissatisfaction.
It was so cold in the arena that Mateo had to say something to lighten the mood.
"Sebastian, what are you doing here? Wasn't Samuel supposed to be at the party tonight?"
Tonight's banquet is to discuss the viability of the Queen's new "Human Amnesty Law," but it is attended by radicals who do not advocate the coexistence of vampires and humans.
They generally believe that humans should be kept in captivity like livestock, honestly drained of blood by others and fed to starving lowly vampires.
The radicals were extremely averse to vampires engaging in intimate behavior with humans, advocating that the fresh blood of these humans be sealed and bagged and that vampires not even be allowed to have any contact with humans.
The leader of the radical faction is naturally Duke Sebastian, who is the most powerful person in this vampire world, saying that he is the most powerful person is to give face to the Queen, at least in the eyes of most vampire nobles, they are more afraid of the cold Sebastian than the Queen.
However, Duke Sebastian especially hates all kinds of parties and banquets, and whenever he sees vampires feeding recklessly at banquets, he always executes a few of them, causing people to be afraid to invite him as well.
Originally, the one attending the banquet tonight was Samuel, who was barely a radical, so how did it become Duke Sebastian all of a sudden? If they had known that Duke Sebastian would come, they wouldn't have dared to enjoy the delicious waitresses provided by Emma at the banquet anyway.
Mateo's intention was to make a few casual remarks to lighten the mood, believing that he, too, was a great leader of the Radicals, and that it was naturally incumbent upon him to undertake such a task, but he did not realize that his words happened to remind Sebastian once again of the Queen's previous quarrel with him.
If only the Queen hadn't, in a fit of rage, asked him to replace Samuel at this party.
Sebastian glanced coldly at Mateo; what a guy who doesn't know how to read people.
"What, I can't go?"
Mateo frowned, sensitive to the fact that he'd struck another nerve.
Sebastian took a deep breath and leaned back in his comfy chair, legs gracefully folded together, both arms folded over them, his eyes narrowing dangerously as he turned his gaze down to the human below who was surreptitiously sizing them up.
"Human amnesty laws never agree." As if deliberately giving it away, Sebastian then said with a grimace." It is already the greatest honor for the lowly species of humans to be allowed to survive and provide food for us. If they didn't still have fresh blood ......"
He didn't finish the latter words, but everyone knew what they meant.
If the humans weren't still somewhat useful, I'm afraid Duke Sebastian would hate to destroy them all.
Undaunted, Olivia looks Sebastian straight in the eye with a sense of oppression.
You hate humans so much; did they kill your family?
"That's for sure; we Radicals won't agree to that in any case; those protectionists don't want to get their way!" Mateo hastened to express his resolve, offering his loyalty to the great Duke Sebastian.
He felt himself opening up the conversation and couldn't help but add.
"It's an abomination to the humans down here... why don't we use her to sacrifice there?"
Mateo gave himself credit for being wise.
Who doesn't know that Sebastian hates humans, especially when this human is so bold? Don't think that offending Sebastian will lead to good things.
Olivia clenches her hands and realizes she's in trouble.
She had already begun to make up a bunch of words in her mind, and if she really had nowhere to run, then she would be sure to disgust this high and mighty so-called Duke Sebastian with the most disgusting words before she died as well.
"No need." Sebastian suddenly found something amusing as he looked down at the human with interest, glaring at her with provocative eyes despite the fact that she was obviously so scared inside that her face was white with fear.
Obviously, she was so scared, so vulnerable, but with such beautiful, brave eyes.
It was strange to say that after living for more than 30,000 years, it was the first time that a human dared to look at him so directly; even the Queen didn't dare to stare at him so recklessly.
Mateo has sharpened his knife and is ready to be the first to execute the human as soon as he hears Sebastian agree.
Unfortunately, all he heard was Sebastian's refusal.
Mateo's eyes widen in disbelief as he looks at Sebastian.
"This human, bring it to my estate."
It was satisfying to see Olivia's eyes change from fear and disgust to shock and amazement, and Sebastian realized that observing humans was really interesting and that 30,000 long years finally seemed less monotonous.
With that, Sebastian turned away, ignoring the expressions of surprise or horror on the faces of the others.
All present, "......????"
