The truth was that everyone in the Royal Vampire Clan saw Ina as a stupid brute who only cared about her strength and improvement.
They all took her as a crazy young vampire woman that could be easily dealt with. It was also due to this that she didn't have much of a support in the Royal Court.
Since she had never expressed any wish of getting the Throne, the Nobles of the Royal Court had completely discarded her.
The only reason why none of them had moved against her until now was due to her Second Brother who had a following and a shot for the Throne.
But now with him gone, there was no one that was able to protect her, and what was more important her strength was nowhere close to theirs.
No matter how much of a genius she was, she still had to keep getting stronger for a few more centuries before she was able to reach their level.
On the other hand, Ina could already feel the looks upon herself and also realize the thoughts and intentions behind those looks but she didn't really care.
Those people who were strong enough had already sensed her new strength, like her father, the King, while those that were weaker than her were unable to do so.
Most probably those guys thought that she had lost her strength, or that probably she was suffering some kind of injury, just so they could refute the thought of her growing stronger than them.
With these thoughts in her mind, she just looked around her coldly without much of an expression on her cold face.
Tianlong Yun could have helped her cover her strength, even in front of the Vampire King, but that would just make him more doubtful and wary of her.
That wasn't a good thing, as she would become another variable in the King's plan, that he might decide to cut down before it caused troubles to him.
Furthermore, this way it would be much better, as not only would he see her new strength and raise her evaluation in his eyes, but he would also think that she was the same strength-loving daughter.
Probably with those thoughts, the King's expression didn't change much, as he looked towards his daughter, Princess Ina, and said,
"Do you have anything to say about this Our daughter?"
"Your Majesty I truly wonder about the quality of Your Royal Court sometimes, there are truly entitled gentlemen here, but there are also some barking dogs that lose grace for this place.
I am truly concerned about Your health since these noisy barking dogs might give you a headache, You should take better care of yourself!
As for this barking dog here, he is exactly one of those bad apples that spoil the whole tree. Not only is he incapable of being a Duke, but he doesn't even have the necessary strength to do so!"
Duke Vlod was clearly incensed at that moment, while the King was left between laughter and tears thinking,
'Dear daughter, can't you be a bit lighter with your words, as even I was about to laugh out loud!'
Forgetting about all the derogatory comments towards Duke Vlod, just the fact that she said that the Vampire King could have a headache from hearing Duke Vlod was an abomination.
As a Vampire King, there were truly few cases when he would get sick, or injured, and that was only if he was dealt with life-threatening injuries.
So Ina's words were completely out of sense, but her expression of concern seemed so real. She was clearly making fun of Duke Vlod in front of everyone else.
The people that were behind Duke Vlod clearly had some gloomy and dark faces, but not as much as the main character of the show.
At that very moment, he had a face that clearly showed that he would eat this girl alive, and if she ever ended up in his hands, he would teach her how pain was spelled and written.
But the sly fox he was, he still managed to control himself and his emotions. He couldn't allow himself to go out of control in this place, as it would be the same as going against the King.
While there were a lot of other nobles supporting him, there were also a lot of nobles who were against him and would love for such an opportunity to bring him down.
With those thoughts in mind, he forcefully controlled himself, as he said with a gloomy tone towards the King,
"Your Highness you are a witness yourself at how the little princess has offended and defamed me in this Court Room.
I am unable to bear such humiliation after serving in this Court Room for all these centuries. For that reason, I ask a public apology from the little princess, and also her to join my household.
Otherwise, I will be forced to propose a Death Duel in front of everyone present!"
Duke Vlod's words were carefully selected, and used, as he seemed to be bowing to the authority of the King, giving a leeway for the little princess, and at the same time pressure her and the King.
The strength of a Duke was known, the disparity of the strength between Duke Vlod and Princess Ina in those fogies eyes was an insuperable mountain.
If Duke Vlod truly ended up challenging the little Princess to a Death Duel, then the only possible outcome they saw was death, unless His Majesty the King intervened.
Everyone turned their faces and gazes towards the King to learn of his verdict, who seemed to be quite calm and unconcerned.
This face of his made quite a few retainers respect him even more, while it made some feel that the King was truly stone-hearted.
The King didn't bother with their nonsense though, as he just looked calmly towards his little daughter, and said,
"What do you think about this Our daughter!?"
"Hmph~! An old geezer is thinking of scaring a young girl like me with the prospect of a Death Duel so that I accept to lower my head in front of him and marry that good-for-nothing son of his!
Like I would ever be afraid of such a man!
Your Majesty I would like to spare Duke Vlod from the request of such a duel, as right now I am issuing a Death Duel to him!
Only one of us will leave this Court Room alive!"
Her words clearly shocked the majority of the people in the Court Room, but more importantly Duke Vlod himself.
He had never thought that this little princess would be so foolish as to ask something like that. There was no way she was his opponent, but despite thinking like that he felt that there was something wrong.
Immediately people started discussing under low voices, as the King didn't seem surprised by the request. So he looked towards Duke Vlod and asked,
"We are willing to allow such a duel to take place, the young ones won't grow if they don't face hardships. We wonder what Our retainer thinks about it!"
The moment that Duke Vlod heard the words of the King, he felt even more assured that there was something wrong with it, but unfortunately, he couldn't go back.
It seemed like he needed to teach this little bi*tch a lesson, otherwise, she wouldn't bow her head down. Thinking like that he said,
"I accept the Duel Your Majesty, but I would like to assure you that I have no intention of taking the little princess's life and will only immobilize her!"
He looked like a magnanimous Vampire at that moment, but it earned him nothing but the spite of the little princess, who snorted coldly and spread her pressure,
"Hmph~! Shameless old thing!"
Even though bloodline pressure was something terrific, as long as there was a big difference in strength, it was possible of erasing it.
So feeling that the little princess had spread her bloodline pressure thinking she would win, Duke Vlod wanted to snort coldly as well.
Just who did she think she was?
But the next moment he found out how wrong he was, as he was unable to move. He could still breathe, and function normally, but he couldn't move.
He felt like he was buried underground, which shocked him and frightened him, as he couldn't help but complain to the King,
"Your Majesty, she is using her bloodline pressure and benefiting from the fact that she has a purer bloodline than me!"
His words stunned the crowd, they had never thought that the wolf would complain about the dog's teeth, one had to bow down to this guy's shamelessness.
Even the little princess just spit on his words, as she said,
"Hhahahah~! Old thing, how can you be so shameless! Why don't you ask my Honoured father to give you the throne and make the King since you are at it!
Hhahahaah~! But I guess you won't be convinced if I don't show you what true regret is!"
With that said, the pressure upon Duke Vlod immediately dispersed and he had regained his mobility completely.
The moment that he found out that he could finally move, he didn't stop to ponder how was the little princess able to do something like that, as he disappeared from his position and attacked her.
His move was the peak of shamelessness, but no one actually would judge him for that, in a fight being merciful towards the enemy was being cruel to oneself.
The next moment, Duke Vlad appeared in front of the little princess fully transformed and with killing intent leaking from his body…
