As Anthony was about to open the door and step out of the room, the Blood Queen's voice echoed, "Wait."
Her words caused him to halt almost unconsciously in his steps, he turned around and faced her as though wanting to see and hear what she would do and offer this time, his expression calm yet faintly curious.
But what his eyes met stunned Anthony; the Blood Queen he was seeing no longer resembled the same Blood Queen he had known moments ago. The cold, domineering ruler had seemingly vanished, and in her place stood someone entirely different, someone who now embodied the essence of a seductress.
She walked forward with calm, silent steps as though she were a cat stalking its prey, every movement deliberate and controlled. Her figure, hips, and waist were subtly accentuated as her Vampiric charm, which she had always suppressed beneath layers of authority and restraint, was now unleashed at full force as she approached Anthony with quiet confidence.
