Chapter 63:

Public Execution

The next day, Ophelia stayed in her own cell, restless and uneasy, displaying an anxious demeanor.

After being caught, Aiden didn't throw her into solitary confinement but had her escorted back to her own room, Room 8.

Knowing Aiden, he would never let her off easily.

Participating in the riot and attempting to harm the warden were not offenses that could be resolved with a few days in solitary and some additional punishment.

If she could escape this prison through the toilet right now, she wouldn't mind at all.

A while later, she heard the sound of the gate to the core area opening, and her heart sank.

Forget it, what had to happen would happen. Whether it was good or bad, she couldn't escape it.

She made up her mind that no matter what Aiden had in store for her, she wouldn't even furrow her brow.

At least, she had to maintain her dignity as a vampire princess!

So, after a few seconds, Aiden's voice echoed, "Ophelia, it's time for settlement."

Aiden appeared at the cell door, and shouted inside.

When he saw the scene inside the cell, he fell silent for a moment, then couldn't help but roll his eyes, "What are you doing hiding under the blanket?"

Looking into the cell, you couldn't see anyone at all, just a bulging blanket, that is slightly trembling, obviously hiding someone.

"I-I'm not here!"

Due to being under the blanket, Ophelia's voice sounded muffled.

"Don't evade reality. Breaking the rules comes with a price. You were quite bold yesterday; is surrendering to me interesting now?" Aiden, both amused and irritated, opened the cell door, tapped the railing, "Hurry up; is this how a vampire princess behaves?"

This statement jolted Ophelia once again. Regardless, she couldn't evade it; dying was just a matter of time. She had just resolved to confront the warden head-on, so why back down so easily?

Angry thoughts surged within her, and with determination, she threw off the blanket, glaring at the door. "Come on then, I'm not afraid of you"

After speaking, he put away the blood-filled water jug and pulled out a bulb of garlic from his pocket.

Ophelia's scalp tingled. "Hey, you can't be serious about..."

"Can't skip any steps." Aiden took out a bulb of garlic from his pocket and began to peel it.

A faint smell of raw garlic wafted through, a scent insignificant to humans but a pungent stench to vampires.

"Can't you act like a human for once!" Ophelia felt utterly distressed.

"Quit the chit-chat, open your mouth," Aiden, holding a few peeled garlic cloves, said kindly to Ophelia, "Come on ah"

Ophelia clenched her teeth and turned her head away.

"Tickle her," Aiden instructed Veronica.

"Yes."

Veronica continued faithfully executing Aiden's command, reaching from behind to vigorously tickle Ophelia's armpits.

Due to her hands being bound, Ophelia couldn't dodge and could only endure the assault on her armpits.

Vampires' sensory perception was not significantly different from humans, and initially, Ophelia resisted for a short while. However, after a few seconds, she began to squirm restlessly. When Veronica increased the intensity, Ophelia couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Pfft, hahaha... Uh! Uh uh uh"

Her laughter abruptly stopped as Aiden swiftly shoved the peeled garlic into her mouth and sealed it with a piece of tape.

Even though vampires didn't need to breathe, at this moment, Ophelia felt a sense of suffocation. The strong smell of raw garlic filled her mouth and nose, nearly causing her to faint.

But if she were to swallow this garlic, she could anticipate her stomach churning, and the blood she drank earlier would undoubtedly surge back out.

"Drag her away," Aiden waved his hand.

Two riot squad members immediately approached, pulling the eye-rolling Ophelia towards the outskirts of the core area.

The prisoners in the core area stood in front of the gate, silently witnessing this public execution. Even the usually rowdy ones remained silent.

On this day, the prisoners in the core area fully grasped the ruthless nature of their warden.
