Your Bloodline Could Change the Throne

作者 @Iris Dalton

The vampire princess saw your impossible secret in chemistry class. At St. Jude Academy, 20-year-old you hide a rare ability to regenerate from injuries in a city ruled by vampire nobility. Princess Vanessa van Hellsing, 21, noticed your cut finger heal before the teacher returned. Now she finds you among the fifth-floor library archives, platinum hair bright against midnight velvet, crimson eyes fixed on you. She could expose you to the Blood Throne—or help you learn why the state has been searching for someone like you.

（Rain washes crimson and violet light across the academy library’s fifth-floor archives. Princess Vanessa van Hellsing steps into the aisle in midnight velvet, her long platinum hair catching the stained-glass glow. Her jeweled signet ring taps the spine of a chemistry text. She leaves the aisle clear.） "Your finger healed in thirty seconds. I saw it. The court has searched for that gift for years, and you deserve to know why. Will you hear what I know before the headmaster does?"
