A proposal on the spot, you've really done it.
As expected of Anderson.
Chloe pretended she hadn't heard anything and kept munching on sunflower seeds.
After a long while.
Xavier closed his eyes briefly:
"Do you know what you're saying?"
Anderson didn't look at him, only gazing at Chloe, and said in a deep voice:
"I do."
Xavier clenched his fists, and finally let out a cold laugh:
"Then you'll have to ask Chloe herself if she's willing."
Suddenly put on the spot, Chloe blinked, meeting both their gazes, and instantly felt a bit guilty:
"Hey, what can I say... I'll see what I can do..."
She rambled incoherently, looking around restlessly, occasionally glancing at her father and Anderson below.
Xavier: "..."
Try as he might to prevent it, he still couldn't.
He still didn't understand.
He had only chosen a death soldier to protect Chloe, but in the end the death soldier had gotten a promotion and now wanted to be his son-in-law.
Xavier's expression was extremely unpleasant.
He didn't want to marry off his daughter, not at all.
Xavier fingered his pen:
"It's just the Mosby Trading Association, even without it, the financial operations within the Vampire race wouldn't be a problem."
"Forget about it."
He was about to send Anderson away.
Hearing this, Chloe quickly tossed aside her sunflower seeds and intervened:
"If you don't want it, I do!"
Xavier: "?"
Chloe looked innocent:
"Isn't that my rightful bride price?"
Xavier: "..."
His hands trembled slightly.
Chloe obediently began to massage her father's shoulders, along with some caring words:
"Dad, I think this young man is actually not bad, he has a house, a car, and assets, and the trading association under him has money too."
"I've never had any great ambitions in life, eating, drinking, and sleeping basically takes care of it. If worst comes to worst, we can have Anderson marry into our family as a prince consort."
Xavier: "..."
He brushed Chloe's hands away and said coldly:
"Who says you don't have ambitions?"
Chloe blinked her eyes: "I really don't, I..."
"Starting tomorrow, you'll succeed me as the Vampire Progenitor, and all Vampires will be under your management."
Chloe: "???"
Wait, isn't this a bit too sudden?
She wasn't prepared to manage an entire race yet!
But Xavier was determined to wash his hands of it. Without waiting for Chloe to argue further, he pulled out a contract he had prepared in advance and made Chloe sign it.
Chloe: "!!!"
"Forcing an heir like this is illegal!"
She protested indignantly.
Xavier was unfazed:
"You are my daughter, inheriting my throne is legitimate, how is that illegal?"
Chloe calmed down:
"I think this traditional way of inheritance is outdated. We should now advocate for capable individuals to ascend the throne, to make our race stronger."
Xavier:
"I believe there's no one in the entire Vampire race more capable than you."
He paused, then continued:
"Besides, the Vampires are strong enough already. Even if you were incompetent, no one would dare offend the Vampires at this point."
Chloe: "..."
Great, now she couldn't be a slacker with a clear conscience anymore.
Although she had often talked about how she would be a wise ruler, obviously being a freeloader princess was much more enjoyable than exhausting herself dealing with state affairs every day!
Chloe got angry:
"Why don't you go have another child then."
Xavier: "..."
His lips twitched: "You wish."
Chloe stood up from her seat dejectedly, walked over to Anderson, and said in a daze:
"What should we do, I can't be a freeloader anymore... Maybe you should go back first, my dad is probably angry because you came to propose. Maybe if you leave he won't be in such a hurry to abdicate."
Anderson: "..."
He revealed a smile: "It's alright, young miss. After I marry into the royal family, I can wholeheartedly assist you."
Chloe: "..."
She hated this world that forced her to take the throne!
...
#Breaking! Vampire power shift! Throne rotation, Chloe becomes youngest Vampire Progenitor in history!
#On Xavier's desperate desire to retire.
#Vampire Progenitor's ascension and marriage, old noble family head Francis marries into royal family!
#Vampire wedding of the century! Powerful alliance between royal family and Francis clan!
#Elf Race Elder Council system abolished, new queen turns out to be Vampire Progenitor's best friend?
The Star Network was abuzz with discussions, and the Vampire territories were overly lively as well.
Chloe's wedding was held very grandly. Qin Huaibei and Katherine, who had just come off the battlefield, rushed over, both with surprised expressions:
"How did you suddenly get married? I thought it would take much longer..."
Chloe yawned:
"I didn't want to either, but Anderson was a bit desperate to marry, hinting at it several times."
Daniel walked over from afar: "Where's your wedding dress? Why aren't you wearing a wedding dress?"
Chloe looked at him strangely:
"Who told you I'd be the one wearing the wedding dress?"
Everyone looked at her serious, proper suit, and suddenly a shocking thought popped into their minds—
The one wearing the wedding dress couldn't be...!!!
Just then, melodious music drifted from the garden entrance.
Anderson, wearing a pure white wedding dress, slowly appeared before everyone.
The entire group of friends from The No.1 Military Academy: "..."
Ren Yunying and Xavier in the distance: "..."
All the wedding guests: "..."
After a long while, Daniel whistled: "Cool."
How to put it, as expected of Chloe.
It was the kind of mischievous idea she would come up with.
And as expected of Anderson.
He really does whatever Chloe says, huh.
The rest of the wedding proceeded as one would expect.
Vows were read, rings were exchanged.
Pink flowers and colorful ribbons under the clear blue sky.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but Chloe thought she saw a glimmer in her father's eyes.
Chloe smiled.
Urged on by the officiant and the audience, Chloe pulled Anderson to her side and raised her head to kiss him.
The crowd below erupted in thunderous cheers.
Chloe opened her eyes, meeting Anderson's emerald gaze.
A fleeting glance, a lifetime of experiences passed.
The world's rotations finally had cause and effect.
The lonely wanderer from her past life now had a companion.
From now on, whether gazing at lofty mountains and flowing waters, or witnessing the dance of phoenixes and the song of simurghs, she would have someone by her side to share it all.
