The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 72

Ludwig shook her head: "Putting all that aside, the Princess..."

Ludwig suddenly froze.

"what?"

Suddenly, she saw what appeared to be two Ruo Ke Ke!

She shook her head again: "No!"

The extra piece of cocoa appeared somewhat blurry, even translucent...

Then the phantom of Ruco stood up, knocked over the cup beside her, and spilled it all over Ludwig.

Ludwig shook her head: "No!"

She looked more closely and realized that Ruo Keke hadn't stood up at all, and the cup hadn't been knocked over.

Coco asked, puzzled, "Miss, are you feeling unwell? I'll go get you some headache medicine..."

She was about to stand up when she spoke, and at that moment, Ludwig finally realized what was happening.

She immediately leaped forward from the bed and pounced on Ruokeke.

"ah--"

Pfft!

Ludwig looked back, feeling dizzy and disoriented. The cup on the table was unharmed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"...Young Miss, what's wrong with you!" Ruo Keke said reproachfully.

"Yeah, I might really be having a brain problem."

"I'm so upset," Ludwig said, her voice trembling with tears.

"People are seeing double!"

Chapter 78 Feeling Great

"So, so! The illusion of the Vampire Queen disappeared from my body!"

Ruo Keke patted her back: "Alright, alright, Miss, don't panic."

"Coco! This must have been done by the Princess again!"

Ludwig stood up abruptly, ready to confront her.

"The crown she gave me contains the power of the vampire queen, so when I wore it, it merged with me, becoming part of my blood energy! How could this happen! She's definitely too suspicious, I need to—"

Coco grabbed her: "Alright, Miss! Becoming a member of the royal family means you'll be granted a portion of the Queen's power, that's the rule! She didn't mean to harm you!"

Ludwig stared at her blankly: "Really?"

If Coco were absolutely certain: "I've memorized the entire vampire law, Her Majesty might just be joking with you!"

Ludwig was terrified of that blonde woman.

"I do not believe!"

...

As a result, after a lot of frantic activity, Ludwig was finally persuaded by Ruokeke and obediently sat on the edge of the bed.

"Humph."

She still pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.

Ruo Keke said, "So, Miss, it seems you can see my movements in the next few seconds?"

Ludwig nodded: "It seems so."

This is a kind of "precognition" to some extent. After activating her blood energy, she could see a phantom of what would happen a few seconds later on Ruo Keke!

If Ludwig had interfered with her actions before that, the phantom's behavior would have changed immediately.

"Well, I thought it could be used to predict other people's moves. If they change their minds at the last minute, then it's completely useless." Ludwig said, slightly disappointed.

"You can't say that, Miss."

Coco's sense of combat techniques is far more acute than Ludwig's.

"If you can indeed see the enemy's afterimage a few seconds later, then if you use [Stay Forever] before the enemy can react..."

Ludwig suddenly realized: "Oh right... that's another way!"

As long as she can enter a state of frozen time, she can always gain the upper hand in battle!

The stagnant enemy cannot predict Ludwig's every move, nor can they change their course of action. This gives Ludwig more time to devise countermeasures and seize opportunities to exploit weaknesses.

"It seems to be a causality-level ability. Although it looks impressive, in computer game terms, my attack power is too low."

She sighed.

"Even if I can see through the enemy's movements, it's still useless against enemies like the 'Chariot'. I still can't unleash my blood energy."

Ludwig stood up.

"I've decided, I still need to ask Coco for advice on combat techniques."

Coco asked in confusion, "What? Me?"

Ludwig took her hand.

"Many people in the castle say that Coco is the best battle maid. Coco, then be my master and train me to make my body stronger."

Ruo Keke said, "Let me make this clear beforehand, Miss. My training method is from Teacher Torre, who is very strict. You mustn't give up halfway."

"Don't underestimate me," Ludwig said, hands on her hips.

"Then I'll trouble you to train with me whenever you have time, Miss."

After performing the skirt-lifting ceremony, Ruo Keke suddenly remembered something.

"No, now it should be..."

"Your Highness, I shall address you as Princess."

Ludwig said with dissatisfaction, "Coco absolutely refuses to call me Lulu, and now she's changed it to an even more distant form of address. Sigh, just call me Miss."

"This is against etiquette..."

"Hmph, listen to me, you stupid maid Coco."

...

At that moment, a soft knock on the door interrupted the flirtatious banter between the two vampire girls in their boudoir.

crunch--

Hello, sisters.

A girl's timid voice drifted out from behind the door, and then she peeked out with half her head.

"Did I come at the wrong time? Then I'll come back later..."

The silver-haired girl thought they had been arguing, so she spoke in a very soft voice.

Ludwig quickly shook her head: "No, no, come in."

Lochina breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, sister."

The silver-haired little girl came out from behind the door.

At this moment, she was wearing a magnificent black gown, and the princess crown on her head was similar in style to Ludwig's, but there were many differences in the details.

It seems that she has already been crowned by the princess.

Now, she is not only the true second princess of the vampire clan, but also Ludwig's half-sister.

Ludwig couldn't help but think about it.

Even for the sake of this girl, she had to stay in the vampire royal court. She didn't trust the princess at all, and couldn't imagine what kind of person that wicked woman's upbringing would turn Lokina into.

"I need to get used to my new identity as soon as possible, sigh."

Ludwig stroked the girl's silver hair, which was very similar to her own. Inadvertently, she even felt that she and Lochina were like sisters born from heaven.

Their eye color and hair color are so similar.

“Lochina… little sister. Is there something you need?” Ludwig asked kindly.

Lochina was still a little confused because she had just learned that she had become a real sister with this older sister, but when she heard the silver-haired sister call her that, Lochina smiled with delight.

"Hehe, Sister Lulu, the Queen Mother asked me to give it to you."

Lochina took out a box.

She said there was some kind of 'unshed tree' inside, something important that she was going to give to her older sister.

Ludwig took it: "It's a power of attorney."

"What is it?" Lochina tilted her head.

Ludwig ruffled her hair: "It's nothing."

Upon opening the box, one finds detailed information and a handwritten letter of authorization from the princess.

...

"To Princess Ludwig, from Princess Lingxi."

"Hello, little cutie. I'm sure you've been wondering about that mysterious black-haired girl too."

"Her name is Ye Liuli, and she's my childhood sweetheart. Her name means 'night glass.' Isn't it beautiful?"

"Don't be fooled by her current unapproachable, fierce, and mature appearance. In fact, she is just a newly born vampire."

"That's right, the target of this mission is her. Little princess, in order for you to successfully complete the mediation, I'm going to tell you some closely guarded 'royal secrets'."

"Remember, don't tell anyone, otherwise... hehe~"

The author of the letter drew a heart-shaped symbol after this sentence, the meaning of which is unclear.

"Four years ago, she resolutely chose to become a vampire, just to spend eternity with me."

“That’s right. In the information Torre gave you, her photo is what she looked like when she was a human, and that is her true ‘self’.”

"Back then, my choice to fight against the Fallen Pope alongside Little Hilly was made for many reasons. But the most important reason that made me decide was to save Little Li, who was cursed."

"Like that dim-witted knight, Xiao Li was also corrupted by the vampire's curse back then."

"Sigh, back then we were desperately trying to fight it, but after embracing the darkness, I realized how foolish I had been..."

"We've gone off-topic."

"In short, Xiao Li wasn't as lucky as that silly knight, who had a spirit cat to help suppress the curse. The curse on Xiao Li tormented her to the point of wishing she were dead several times. That's why I was desperate to find the reason to purify the altar from the Pope."

"Later, we killed the Pope and found the altar."

"Xiao Li was freed from the curse and returned to her frail human form; while I, severely injured, merged with the Holy Grail, acquired a new body, and survived."

"It should have been a happy ending, a cause for celebration, shouldn't it?"

"But for some reason, Xiao Li has gradually become dissatisfied with me..."

"She had a fight with me one day. She felt it wasn't fair."

She said that one day she would grow old, and I would already be...

I entered eternity with my queen. She didn't want to watch me drift further and further away from her—"

"Heh... After embracing the darkness and being stained with blood, you realize how foolish you were to have rejected it."

"So at that time, I smiled and extended my hands to her."

"If it were me in the past, perhaps I would have tried my best to stop her? But now I've experienced the wonderful feeling of that power..."

"So I laughed and said to her, 'Join us, the past doesn't matter anymore.'"

“I extended an invitation to her, which broke down her last line of defense. Through the Embrace ceremony, she became a member of the vampire clan.”

"This means that all the sacrifices I made to purify her have been in vain; it also means that this will completely change this fragile human girl."

"But I understand her feelings very well, and I don't even blame her. In fact, I accepted her becoming a vampire very easily."

"I have no regrets about extending an invitation to eternity to her."

"Heh, if you ask why, it's probably because... the feeling of being an eternal monster is just too wonderful, isn't it? It makes me completely forget my weak self from the past."
