The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

“Jack, you’ve been living in the Thorn Forest, isolated from the world. You can do more than that. The man standing before you now is the new emperor of Fchester, not some prince Leon.”

Sofia said.

"What? How is this possible!"

Jack exclaimed in disbelief, "You two are teaming up to lie to me, you might be lying to me!"

"From the very beginning, Leon treated you as a pawn to be discarded."

Leon laughed and said, "Now you have no value. Things that have no value have no reason to exist."

"Let him be dealt with by you vampires, we Fitchers won't interfere."

"Leon said."

"Row."

Sophia said, "We had planned to execute him before, but considering the current relationship between the vampires and Fitch, we wanted to wait for your confirmation before considering it further."

"What, execution?"

Jack looked terrified. "Your Highness Leon... no, Your Majesty Leon, I am a citizen of the Fchester Empire! Even if I am to be judged, it should be the Empire that decides! How can you abandon your people!"

"No matter how you look at him now, he's a vampire. What kind of citizen of the empire is he?"

Leon sneered.

"Leon...you!"

Jack glared angrily, "Even if you die, I won't let you go! I'll curse you to a terrible death in hell!"

"Then go ahead and cast a curse underground. If that really worked, then there wouldn't be any bad people in the world."

Leon chuckled and then laughed.

"Bad guy? Leon, do you think you're some kind of good guy? By the way, is that little brat still locked up in the room like a dog?"

Jack laughed maniacally, "That's a mouthwatering slut, hahaha, my biggest regret now is that when I was the captain of the security patrol team at your palace, I had the chance to train that slut, but I didn't have the guts to actually do it. I could only sleep with your maids. You're just as filthy as that slut. People like you won't have a good ending. You and that mother—"

"what--"

Jack's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by a painful groan.

A red-hot steel bar was thrust into Jack's heart with overwhelming force, piercing right through him, with the end of the bar protruding from his back.

Despite having his heart pierced, the vampire's powerful healing abilities prevented him from dying, and his body continued to heal, attempting to expel the steel bars from his body.

"You beast."

Leon's face was icy cold, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

This made Sofia, who was standing next to him, take a step back in fear and move away from Leon.

“Sophia, this guy is going to be executed anyway, so why don’t I take care of him?”

Leon looked at Sophia, his gaze turning to a smile, but his smile was devoid of warmth.

"Row."

Sofia nodded blankly.

"You should leave the dungeon first. My methods for killing him will be rather brutal. A pretty and lovely girl like you should stay away from this kind of thing."

"Leon said."

"I've seen just as much torture as you have."

Sofia said.

Are you sure you want to stay?

"Uh... fine, then you kill him, I'm leaving now."

After hesitating for a moment, Sophia quickly left. The current Leon was no longer the approachable person he used to be; it was as if anyone could joke with him. Sophia felt extremely dangerous towards him now.

"Let's go and report to Philippa first."

Sophia thought to herself and quickly left.

"Leon, what do you want?"

Jack roared.

"Jack, don't you really enjoy sleeping with other people?"

Leon gave a cold laugh and began to spin the steel bar in his hand.

"you--"

Jack had a bad feeling.

"Look at the state you've become. I bet a lot of people want to sleep with you now, right?"

Leon sneered.

He went out and summoned the prison guards, then ordered them to drag out the burly men who had been imprisoned in the dungeon for years without women and without access to quality blood, and who were desperately craving blood and sex. He then had them enter Jack's cell in groups of ten.

"Fuck this bitch, or you'll all die."

"Leon said."

Is there such a good thing?

The prisoners were all incredibly excited.

Jack's wailing echoed for a long time before finally fading away.

When Jack was carried out of the cell, his entire body had been drained of its life force, leaving him withered skin covered in bite marks and his genitals in a state of utter decay. Even vampires can drink the blood of other vampires; in the end, not a single drop was left of his.

Inside the guardhouse at the main entrance of the dungeon,

Leon sat in the pavilion, watching as Jack's mummified body was carried out and headed towards the crematorium area.

Just then, Philippa arrived from a short distance away and witnessed the scene.

"You really went all out."

Philippa walked to the guardhouse and spoke to Leon.

"So-so. For scum like this, we can't let them die too easily; that would be a blessing for them."

Leon answered.

"Because he insulted Helena? That's why you suddenly got so angry, right?"

Philippa turned her head and asked.

"That's right..."

Leon paused for a moment, then said.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Philippa's expression suddenly turned very disappointed.

"Leon, tell me honestly, do you love me or not?"

Philippa looked up at Leon.

Why are you suddenly asking such a serious question?

Leon laughed.

"I can tell you clearly that I love you, but what about you? Do you love me the same way I love you?"

Philippa said.

"Um……"

Leon paused for a moment and then said, "I love you too, Philippa."

"You hesitated. You don't need to say things against your conscience, and you don't need to be afraid of hurting me. I am much stronger than you think."

Philippa smiled and said, "Actually, the one you've always loved in your heart has always been Helena, right?"

"Um... I love Helena, but I also..."

Leon replied, but he found it difficult to continue saying that he loved her too, as if he were about to become like Makoto Ito.

"Forget it, why am I getting all worked up like this? I've always known I can't compare to her."

Philippa rubbed her eyes. "Why would I compare my place in your heart to Helena's? Wouldn't that just be making a fool of myself?"

“Philippa…”

"Alright, you don't need to explain. This is my problem. After all, I was the one who forced my way in. Let's not dwell on this issue."

"I……"

"Don't say anything yet. I think I need to calm down. I'm leaving now. See you tonight. I still have a lot of things to take care of. By the way, the vampires have already sent two peerless angels to help you take down Faceless. Don't worry, I'm handling everything. I won't let our personal conflicts affect my work."

Philippa kept talking, her cheeks already streaked with tears.

"I'm leaving now, see you in the palace tonight."

Philippa wiped her face with a handkerchief, not giving Leon a chance to speak, and turned to disappear into the moonlight.

Chapter 42 I Want to Have a Child with You

Guberlan.

Formerly Caesar's office, now Leon's office.

Leon crossed his legs, rubbed his head, and leaned back in the sofa chair.

The office door was wide open, and Leon looked out, waiting quietly.

A short while later, Lev was the first to rush into the office.

"Leon, we have worked diligently for your royal family for so many years, and we are, after all, hereditary dukes bestowed by the late emperor. This is simply too much!"

Lev was so angry that his beard trembled.

"Leon, what's with those guards at my door? You have to explain this to me!"

Bazell was the second to break through.

Following him was Hibbert.

Hibbert didn't speak, but stared at Leon with a grim expression. What he wanted to say had already been said by Lev and Bazel.

"Why get so angry? The three of you are getting on in years; you should take better care of your health."

Leon straightened his posture and smiled.

“You have so many guards at our doorstep and you’ve restricted my family’s movement, making us all feel uneasy. Why should I be angry?”

"Bazaar said."

"These are extraordinary times. In order to prevent the rebels from threatening the safety of the three of you and your families, I have taken this measure out of consideration for your safety."

Leon said, "I hope the three of you can understand my good intentions."

"Leon, you..."

Lev was practically gritting his teeth, but he was completely powerless against Leon.

"You don't need to be so agitated, nor do you need to express your gratitude to me. I will provide protection for the three of you free of charge until the civil war in the country ends."

Leon said with a grin.

"You three may leave. I am doing this for your safety. If you three are unwilling to accept protection, that is also acceptable."

Leon smiled slyly, glancing at the three dukes with icy eyes.

"Without the protection of the Empire, if the three dukes were attacked by thugs and suddenly died tragically in their homes, they would have no reason to blame the Empire."

Leon said slowly.

After he finished speaking, the anger on the faces of Hibbert, Lev, and Bazel instantly subsided, and they all looked much calmer.

"That would be very kind of you, Your Highness."

Hibbs gave a forced, insincere smile.

"It's alright, it's alright. You are important ministers of the empire, and you have served the late emperor for so many years. Even if you haven't made any great contributions, you have certainly worked hard. The empire will not mistreat any valuable and meritorious minister. Protecting you is what the empire should do."
