The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 71

"Oh, good afternoon, Lulu."

The silver-haired girl blinked at her, clutching a bunch of plush toys in her arms. They seemed to be newly bought, some even unopened.

"What's wrong, sister? Where are you going? Brother Yin Shang bought me a lot of dolls. I... I was just about to go play with Mother."

Ludwig turned around and said, "Wait a minute, Your Highness, why am I the eldest princess? Shouldn't it be Lochina?"

The blonde girl shrugged: "Because you were named Crown Princess in the succession bill last year, and you're older than her. Is that a reasonable reason?"

...

"Hmph, even if I become a princess... I won't let you manipulate me. I'll always be on guard against you."

She took the hand of the second princess beside her.

"Let's go, Lochina."

"What's wrong, sister? I still want to be with Mother..."

"Your older sister can play with you too. Stay away from her."

"Lochina nodded blankly and said: Oh, okay."

The princess behind him smiled and waved: "Go back to your room and rest well with her. I will send someone to deliver the letter of authorization to you later, my good daughter."

"No, then call me!"

Ludwig threw down a sentence and stormed off in a huff.

Watching her retreating figure, the blonde girl couldn't help but let out a soft, cold laugh.

"almost."

...

...

"This woman is definitely up to something. Humph, I won't fall for that so easily."

"A princess's status should grant her certain privileges, which is a good opportunity to investigate her more thoroughly..."

As Ludwig was thinking, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

"Huh, what's going on..."

Om-! !

The next instant, her heart stopped beating.

"What..."

A burst of light flashed from the crown on her head, instantly flooding Ludwig's mind.

Her mind

A moment of blankness, and my body swayed and fell down.

Lochina, standing beside her, was horrified:

"Sister! Oh no, someone help!"

Chapter 77 The Eternal Moon

"Ugh... my head hurts so much..."

Ludwig sat up, grumbling.

"Damn it, the Princess really did plot against me... Huh? Where am I?"

She suddenly realized that she was surrounded by darkness, and when she touched her body, she couldn't feel anything.

She quickly realized that she had not woken up and was still unconscious; she was now merely a subconscious mind.

"She previously asked if she was interested in becoming a 'vessel'... Could it be! Could it be that she also wants to use my body...!"

Ludwig was shocked and angry. She stood up and looked around at the pitch-black surroundings.

"If only there were some way to wake up..."

A strange sense of rejection lingered in her mind, indicating that something foreign had invaded her consciousness.

Following this feeling, she found the "foreign object" a moment later in this space of consciousness that represented the depths of her heart.

...

A silver-haired girl appeared at the edge of her field of vision, sitting motionless on a wooden chair with armrests.

Ludwig approached the silver-haired girl with suspicion and gently patted her shoulder.

"..."

She sat quietly in the chair without responding, her head down, saying nothing.

Ludwig walked around to stand in front of her, and only then could she see the full extent of her clothing—

That was the vampire dress that Lokina was wearing when they first met.

If Coco had explained last night that the Queen hadn't had time to make custom clothes for the newborn Lochina, she would have chosen one from the Vampire Queen's wardrobe for her to wear temporarily. After all, the Vampire Queen was petite, and her gown fit the little girl just barely.

But clearly, the silver-haired girl in front of them... was not Lochina, but the true owner of that dress—

Despite her petite stature, she was still a bit taller than Lochina, but her toes barely touched the ground.

Her slender figure possessed graceful, elegant curves, and her skin was fair and flawless. At first glance, she seemed so perfect as to appear unreal, like a life-size doll crafted by a master artist.

Her long, silvery-white hair was still striking in the darkness, cascading gracefully down the sides of the wooden chair behind her, its slightly exaggerated volume almost completely obscuring the hem of her gown.

The unique crown atop her head filled the 'gap' in the dress, making her appear perfectly integrated from head to toe, with no 'flaws' left.

Everyone who sees her for the first time can immediately understand her supreme status.

Like a perfectly completed work of art, or like the bright moon that can soothe the soul in the darkness.

Despite being the queen of darkness, and despite the fact that the real her is not here, this mysterious illusion, with its unknown origins, shines like a dazzling gem, enough to make Ludwig momentarily lose her composure.

"The Dark Night Vampire Queen, the Eternal Moon - Siriote."

Ludwig whispered her title and real name.

"This is... her true face, which is never seen in the world."

"Even though it was the first time I'd met her, I knew it was her immediately..."

Ludwig sighed to herself.

"As expected of a queen who can rule for a thousand years, even an illusion can be so destructive."

Ludwig immediately understood why the vampire royal court was so fanatical about her, and why the princess talked about her all the time.

Ludwig even felt she could understand the Princess somewhat now.

"Her beauty alone is enough to make people submit to her wholeheartedly, not to mention... the real her is not a motionless puppet, her queenly majesty is even greater than that."

Ludwig walked around to her, knelt down, and saw the queen's lowered face clearly.

She slumped her head slightly, staring blankly at the floor in front of her.

“I said, Your Majesty.”

Ludwig waved her hand.

Why are you appearing in my mind?

"The princess... undoubtedly stole your power and then did something to me."

"I don't know what she did to you. Why are you here looking like this?"

...

The girl, who resembled a doll, gave no response.

When Ludwig touched her shoulder earlier, she could feel that her body temperature was even lower than that of the already cold-blooded vampires.

So low...it's like being dead.

...

"The Vampire Queen..."

Ludwig knelt before her and took her cold hands in his.

"Tell me, Your Majesty, how can I wake up?"

"..."

"Or..."

Ludwig paused.

"...Is there something you want to tell me?"

...

After Ludwig finished speaking, the Queen's unfocused pupils suddenly twitched.

Ludwig smiled with delight; she had found a way out.

Then she continued to ask:

"I'm just a humble mediator, what can I possibly do to help..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was startled to find a tear rolling down the corner of the Queen's eye.

The petite queen had not yet spoken, but tears were already welling up in her eyes.

They shone brightly, dripping down her cheeks and wetting her skirt.

"What's wrong? What happened...?"

Ludwig, at a loss, tried to wipe her clean, but her unfocused pupils, which had remained still, suddenly turned to look at Ludwig.

"Alas!"

A chill ran through her, and Ludwig quickly withdrew her hand, but the vampire queen had already grabbed her.

Snapped.

She looked at Ludwig, her eyes revealing undisguised sorrow and pain.

"help me..."

"Save my people..."

"This body... is meant to grant its subjects eternal happiness... not... an eternal curse..."

"Lingxi...please..."

...

The Queen's phantom closed its eyes.

Before the words were finished, they vanished into thin air.

She transformed into a thick black mist and suddenly lunged at Ludwig.

"Ah! Oh! What—"

In the blink of an eye, the black mist merged into Ludwig's body and vanished without a trace.

The chair was completely empty; there wasn't even a trace of the queen's presence left.

"..."

"Ugh?!"

Ludwig suddenly felt... she seemed to be able to return to reality!

She couldn't describe the feeling; at this moment, as a conscious being, she could already sense her physical body in reality—

Then, she was brought back to reality.

"Whoa!"

Ludwig sat up abruptly from the bed, and the scream that followed startled Ruoke, who was dozing off beside her.

...

"Young Miss! You're finally awake! Lochina said you suddenly collapsed in the corridor..."
