( Hazriel's POV )
" Congratulations, Max Rajput is officially the next Vampire King " Micheal said as he slammed the newsletter he had just received on Hazriel's lap with frustration evident on his face.
The Rajputs were no longer well liked in the angel monarchy after Rudra assumed absolute control as Micheal was secretly sour about losing his position as the head monarch.
Regardless, Hazriel felt extremely happy and giddy that Max had achieved his destiny as to her it felt like an impossible journey that she had witnessed first hand.
With a soft smile on her face, she read the entire report and then nodded in satisfaction as she completely approved of his method to assume power.
" Look at that ugly smile on your face, you are heads over heels in love with that guy aren't you? Just looking at you makes me SICK " Micheal said as he stormed out of his sister's room muttering all sorts of insults.
Hazriel frowned, however, she did not let her brother's antics ruin her good mood as she secretly could not wait to meet Max now that he was a King and of equal stature to Hazriel.
Coming from and influential background and being a tier8 monarch herself, she could never truly enjoy the company of the other sex as there were hardly any options when it came to men who were of equal stature to her and still had a kind personality that did not make her feel completely repulsed.
She was in love with Max and had been fantasising about the day they could finally be together as an official couple and now that he was king, that day did not seem far at all!
He was the vampire king now and one day he could maybe become the next Supreme Lord of the universe as well, an idea that secretly made Hazriel feel wet down under as being married to the supreme lord was the same as being married to the Strongest individual in the universe.
Weirdly her attraction for an individual depended both on their personality and stature while looks and other factors played little importance.
She could only love a person if she could respect them and feel submissive towards them, however, there were not many individuals that could make a tier8 monarch feel submissive, which was the only reason why she had no history of prior dating uptil now.
" I'll see you soon…. " She murmured softly as she blushed from cheek to cheek just thinking about how their next reunion was going to be as she remembered how their last one went where he accidentally kissed her passionately.
Softly biting her lips she hoped that the next time they met the situation would develop further than just kissing as she truly wanted to feel the warmth of a man who she actually liked after being single for so long.

( Neatwit's POV )
" Sir Jhonny, have you seen this letter? Max is now a king- " Neatwit said as he painfully touched his ribs from moving too quickly out of excitement.
He had still not fully recuperated from the bout against Bavuma and was very thankful to Max for saving his life back there.
" Ho! The small boy seems to have finally become an adolescent. How charming " Sir Jhonny said as Neatwit scratched his head in confusion.
Max was much stronger than he was, however, in the eyes of Sir Jhonny he was only an adolescent…. If that were the case than wouldn't he be just a fledgling himself?
Feeling depressed, Neatwit let out a sigh as he ordered there to be a massive party thrown in honour of Max becoming King within the True Elites guild.
While the news about Max's ascension also travelled to other kingdoms where it was received positively. It was only the True Elites who celebrated it actively as Max becoming King meant that their three nation alliance would very soon expand to a four nation alliance making them the strongest force within the universe by default.
What Neatwit was not aware of was the fact that Max was already in the process of making the four nation alliance a five nation one as he had the next dragon queen queued up to be his third wife.

( Meanwhile Rudra )
Rudra let out a soft smile as he observed Max becoming King.
Watching Max grow, Rudra felt more joy than even becoming stronger himself.
For him, his brother was a much better version of himself as just like him his brother was a reincarnator, however, unlike him he used his reincarnation status to become a genuine individual who worked for the betterment of his people, rather than the pursuit of personal power.
Not only was his foundation much sturdier than Rudra's, but he also became stronger much faster than Rudra did and did not rely on artefacts like the seed of chaos to do so.
" Just a few more years… I think once Max becomes a monarch, I can risk taking the sixth seed into my body.
Even if I die …. I think house Rajput will be safe if it's in his hands " Rudra mumbled as he finally decided upon the inheritor of the queen after his death.
Updating Max as the next master of the Universal queen, should he ascend or die, Rudra decided that rather than his son's the next Supreme Lord would be Max, irrespective of how things were to change in the coming days.
The mental peace he found from knowing that he no longer needed to single handedly shoulder the weight of being the only protector of house Rajput was immense.
However, that peace also made him inclined to become more reckless than he would have otherwise.
As in this case, the peace was dangerous.
