Resurrected? How could this be possible?
Naturally, Nathan didn't believe it.
Lyanna could also discern Nathan's thoughts from his expression.
With a captivating smile, she proceeded to explain, “Mr. Cross, despite your reluctance to acknowledge it, the truth remains that you are already a vampire. You are our rightful king. Should you so choose, you possess the power to effortlessly revive her, even in death's wake. Naturally, upon her resurrection, she will no longer be human, but rather a vampire.”
Resurrected as a vampire!
Suddenly, Nathan remembered something.
After he killed Max, the latter was resurrected by a vampire and ended up as a vampire, too.
He never knew he would possess the ability to turn a person who had just died into a vampire.
However, Hepburn was the Holy Maiden of Curia when she was alive and harbored a deep-seated hatred for the vampires.
With that thought in mind, Nathan said coldly, “Thank you for your reminder, but not everyone is willing to become a vampire. I believe that Hepburn would rather choose death than accept herself becoming a vampire.”
To his surprise, Lyanna retorted, “You are not Hepburn, so how can you claim to know her thoughts? Furthermore, why should vampires be considered inferior to humans? As long as one possesses a kind heart, there is no inherent distinction between vampires and humans. Conversely, if a human's heart is wicked, they can be even more cruel and merciless than vampires.”
Nathan agreed with that.
After all, he felt the same way.
He might be a vampire now, but he was still true to himself. A change in identity couldn't alter his original intentions.
Thus, he began to wonder if he should save Hepburn.
