Ferrade Zero's head grew increasingly heavy. Suddenly, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out again.
Maid: "......Ahhh!"
After a piercing scream, the maid's terrified voice echoed through the palace: "Bad news! His Highness Zero has fainted! Someone come quickly!"
The maid's voice was unusually loud, quickly alerting everyone in the palace.
The old butler, accompanied by a group of servants, rushed over and carefully lifted Ferrade Zero, who had a bloody gash on his head, to his chambers.
"Hurry and get Delas!" the butler shouted to the servants.
Before long, Delas, a physician from the blood clan's medical hall, was brought to Ferrade Zero's chambers.
Looking at the pathetic man on the bed, Delas gasped and asked, "Who did this?" That was incredibly ruthless.
They had literally cracked his skull open! How could it not be ruthless? If it were a normal person, they would have already died and wouldn't be here waiting for him to provide treatment.
"Achoo!"
At this moment, the system, being called ruthless, suddenly sneezed.
System: "...It must be that guy 008 cursing me."
The system, suddenly becoming a scapegoat: "...What does this have to do with me..."
Meanwhile, the butler's gaze fell upon the maid who had just screamed. He asked sternly, "What exactly happened? Why is His Highness Zero injured?"
The maid looked bewildered. "Do you believe me if I say I don't know?"
Old butler: "......"
The old butler's face was grave. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Go! Go check the surveillance! His Highness Zero is a high-ranking vampire, and he usually doesn't get injured. So, what exactly did His Highness Zero go through to sustain such a severe injury?"
Soon, the servant who went to check the surveillance returned with a strange expression on their face.
Seeing this, the old butler asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
The servant hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Reporting to the butler, well... the surveillance is broken, and we can't see anything."
Old butler: "......"
Ferrade Zero remained unconscious, and on the other side, in the system space, the system looked at Ming Li opposite it with a guilty conscience. That familiar, bad premonition returned.
"Host, why the expression?" the system asked, feeling uneasy as it looked at Ming Li, whose expression was unreadable.
Ming Li narrowed her eyes and asked, "Who did the Heavenly Dao replace the male lead with?"
System: "What are you planning to do now?" Damn it! Could this host be so insane as to go and kill the male lead?
The system felt a surge of panic and didn't want to answer. However, when it met Ming Li's gaze, the system immediately cowered like a quail and quickly replied, "Well, actually, it's the former male lead's brother, named Ferrade Yi."
Ming Li: "......" Why doesn't the Heavenly Dao choose a human as the male lead? Why must it choose a vampire? There must be something fishy going on...
"Is Tu An'an still the female lead?"
"It seems... she still is..." The system cautiously glanced at Ming Li and asked, "What's wrong, Host?"
Ming Li raised an eyebrow and remained silent.
That academy had already been destroyed, and the chance of the male and female leads meeting had been reduced by more than half...
