As Rudra returned from giving a brief moment of presence at Max's wedding, he couldn't help but sigh in nostalgia.

He could still vividly remember the day when the family of four still lived on Earth and it was Rudra who was supposed to have his first wedding.

Papa and Mama Rajput would joke about how getting some action was difficult for Rudra, however, the young chubby Max was a ladies man.

Mama Rajput was sure that Max was going to grow up and become a Playboy who drove expensive cars and broke a lot of women's hearts.

If Rudra had his way, he would have never let Max live such a difficult life, but reading his brother's own reincarnation journal, Rudra knew that everyone was in this universe with a legacy of their own.

He could no longer pamper and protect Max as ultimately that led to him leading a very unhappy life, as the true joy of being a man is always in achieving the impossible and making history.

Hence, although he still cared for him dearly, except checking in on him from a distance and making sure he was okay, Rudra could no longer interfere in Max's life.

His brother had a family of his own now, and from here on out, he became the head of his side of the Rajput family.

The house that Mahendra Rajput built was no more, the houses of Max and Rudra Rajput were of the new order.

( Meanwhile Max )

After the beautiful wedding ceremony and the dinner banquet, the newlyweds crashed into their beds back in Dombivli palace and spent a night of steamy hot passion together.

As Asiva was pregnant, Max took extra care in not being rough, however, despite him acting patient and civil, it was easily one of the top3 nights they had ever spent together as the heightened emotions made the sex that much more special.

There was no doubt in either's mind that they loved one another madly, their marriage felt only natural and Asiva felt much better calling Max his husband rather than boyfriend.

Them being lawfully wed had legal consequences as well.

The very next day, in the headlines of Dombivli Daily, a beautiful wedding photo was published and a public holiday was given to all netizens in celebration of the first wedding of their Lord.

Asiva was officially the lady now, which meant that her unborn child now had the official claim to the Dombivili throne once he was born.

The marriage had consummated Asiva and the kids legal rights within the vampire society and cemented their status as royals.

It had a profound social importance as it gave the netizens a sense of stability and mental peace knowing that even if something unfortunate happened to the current leader, a next generation of Bloodfall leader was ready to take up the mantle and lead them into brighter times.

Naturally, the reaction to the wedding was extremely positive as people all over the five planets under the Bloodfall clan cheered enthusiastically in support of the union.

( Meanwhile Regus Aurelius )

" Will you vouch for the authenticity of this report with your head? " Regus asked the head scout who brought this important report to Regus.

" Yes, my lord, I'm sure that there are no tricks behind this report and I will vouch for its authenticity with my head on the line " The head scout said with confidence as Regus fell into deep contemplation.

Regus had received the list from all 35 clans as to who all were going to participate in the upcoming dungeon event, however, the list that had come from the Bloodfall clan surprised him.

At first, Regus believed it to be another one of Max's schemes where it was an attempt to lure Regus out via an obvious bait and then tarnish his reputation, however, the head scout now vouched that the information was accurate and without malice.

Apparently even though Max himself was a god, he wanted to personally participate in the dungeon run that was known to be extremely dangerous and a place where under the effect of strong hallucinogens, vampires were known to forget the difference between friend and foe.

" Is the boy aware that his divine strength would mean nothing inside the dungeon? Let alone his weak tier6 self, even I cannot escape the suppression of that dungeon.

It's suicidal to walk inside although it promises interesting treasures.

What's his angle at taking such risks?

The dungeon is usually frequented by individual stuck beneath the tier6 realm in hopes of having a chance to breakthrough, however, for the truly talented it doesn't hold much promise " Regus murmured to himself, half questioning and half reasoning.

" Is the boy aware of some secret that I'm not? Is it possible that he knows what lies at the end of the dungeon and is willing to risk his life to get it? " Regus wondered as the suspense drove him insane.

After facing a crippling loss from Max in the Universal Court, Regus's vigilance of the boy had increased tenfold.

No longer did he believe that Max was just a brute warrior with no acumen for politics as his firsthand experience taught him that he was as ferocious as politicians could get.

" Very well, since you vouch your life on it, pass a message from me to both Lucius and Felix-

The dungeon is hallucinogenic, beware of Max Rajput " Regus said, as he dismissed the scout.

According to the universal court agreement that he had signed, he could no longer intentionally order his men to harm Max.

However, to those that were intelligent, they would interpret his message correctly and understand the fact that inside the dungeon they could freely attack Max and try to end his life while pretending to be under the effects of a hallucinogen.

They could walk out scot-free and if they did pull it off, Regus would shower them with benefits unthinkable.
