The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 120

She forced a desolate and numb smile as she applied makeup to her face.

Little by little, bit by bit.

Gently, the artist restored the captivating, sinister aura that had emanated from her face in life.

"Are you satisfied with the makeup I did for you the last time?"

The blonde girl was changed into her purple prince's dress.

Black silk adorned her fitted bodice, while gold patterns outlined her magnificent skirt, making her as elegant yet wicked as she had been when she sat on her throne.

Her various bruises were well concealed by the dress, while the bruises on her face were covered by makeup.

It took several hours before the blonde girl's body was finally "returned to normal".

"Lingxi..."

"I still can't figure out how to explain this to her..."

Ye Liuli clutched the clothes at her chest; the intense pain in her heart made it hard for her to breathe.

"Her mental state is already very fragile. If she finds out you're leaving like this..."

"She definitely will, she definitely will..."

Lingxi's golden hair was spread out smoothly on the carpet, making Ye Liuli momentarily dazed.

The more peaceful and serene her face appeared, as if she were asleep, the more unsettled Ye Liuli's heart became.

The scenes from the past replayed before her eyes, and she couldn't bear it any longer. At one point, she even had the idea of ​​following Lingxi to her death.

"But it can't end like this... The vampires are everything you and she swore to protect... I must find a way..."

At the same time, Ludwig gently knocked on the door and pushed it open to enter.

She knew about this place, because in order to prevent the vampire queen from knowing about Lingxi's death, Ye Liuli and the others temporarily placed Lingxi's body here.

"Miss Ye."

she said.

Ye Liuli didn't even turn her head: "Why didn't you go to rest?"

She continued, "A few hours is barely enough. You know, once a vampire has drunk their fill of blood, their energy recovers very quickly."

"...Speak quickly if you have something to say," Ye Liuli said.

...

Ludwig breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, she was now willing to say a few words.

I like your direct way of speaking.

She paused for a moment, then asked:

"Miss Ye, although it might not be the right time to bring this up..."

"...Lingxi told me before she set off that the blood of Queen Hiliot flows in my veins."

Her eyes glowed red in the darkness.

"She also said that this is why I was chosen as the Queen's successor. Do you know what that means?"

...

"Good question."

Ye Liuli turned her head slightly to the side.

"First of all, I have to correct you on one point... It's not that you were 'chosen,' but that you 'were' all along.'"

...

Although every vampire can create members of their own kind through the Embrace ritual, each vampire can only have one true "fellowship".

In fact, all living beings in the world possess "blood energy." This is a power that exists in relation to blood, but the vast majority of living beings are "low-magic" creatures, and blood energy has almost no visible effect on them.

The reason why vampires are called vampires is because "blood" is everything to them.

The blood energy of vampires is more powerful than that of any other living being, and the blood energy of a very small number of powerful vampires can materialize, thus forming various superpowers widely known as "blood energy".

The reason why blood can take on so many different forms and is so varied is that the Embrace ritual does not change the bloodline of the recipient. The blood of the recipient is simply assimilated by the blood of the vampires and then corrupted into a vampire.

The difference in pulse is the real reason why "blood energy" varies.

However, if a vampire wishes to gain a true kin, they must bestow their bloodline upon a lowly human—

The "essence blood," unique to each vampire and found in only one quantity, came in handy.

This is the most aggressive blood in a vampire's body.

They will devour and transform all the blood in the embraced one's body, completely transforming it from the inside out into the same bloodline as the embraced one, thus becoming the embraced one's relatives and blood relatives.

Although the body will not suffer any aftereffects for the Embrace Executor, the unique essence of the vampire blood will never be generated again.

Becoming a member of a clan undoubtedly means inheriting the blood energy of one's relatives. If a higher-ranking relative acquires new blood energy, this close bloodline will cause similar blood energy to be born in the blood of future generations of clan members.

However, as they are passed down from generation to generation, they will gradually be diluted and weakened until they become insignificant and unremarkable.

However, there are still a very small number of unique blood energies that will not be inherited or diluted—

...

"For example, the power of the vampire queen, that power rooted in her blood, that can rule over thousands of vampires. It will always belong to the vampire queen, Siriot."

Ye Liuli stared intently at Ludwig.

"But her other blood abilities were still inherited by her family. Five years ago, she obtained a powerful blood ability that could stop time—[Brief and Fleeting Moments]. Soon after, the 'Blood Shadow' of Chongchuan City noticed a young female mediator who could use 'teleportation' and whose eyes could bewitch people—"

"After long-term observation of the mediator, we have confirmed that her blood energy characteristics are completely consistent with those of the vampire queen, and are a weakened version of the queen's blood energy."

Ludwig was horrified.

"Five years ago...? My 'staying here for now' was indeed five years ago..."

She looked in disbelief.

"How can this be!"

...

"I'd like to know too, how is this possible?"

Ye Liuli stood up and walked closer to Ludwig.

"It was no accident that the Vampire Council chose you as their successor. Because you were already under their watchful eye when you awakened that blood energy. And they dared not tell anyone about it, not even their Queen."

"She had never had a partner for a thousand years before marrying Lingxi."

Ye Liuli gently closed the door behind her, plunging the small storage room into darkness.

Only their blood-red eyes glowed in the darkness.

"And where did you come from?"

Ye Liuli pinched her chin and gazed at her face.

Her silver hair and blood-red eyes were perfectly identical to the color of the Vampire Queen when she was still healthy. There are no such coincidences in the world, and therefore, in desperation, the Vampire Council passed the true clause in the Succession Act—"Only members of the Vampire Queen's family can be established as heirs"...

Ludwig was chosen as the future vampire queen, and is now the vampire princess.

Ludwig's pupils dilated as if in an earthquake.

This astonishing fact means...

Her first embracer was the vampire queen!

Chapter 129 Touched

"The vampire queen embraced me? That's impossible...!"

Ludwig's mind was in complete chaos.

"Although...but..."

Ye Liuli interrupted her:

"Hmph, but your silver hair, your blood-red eyes, and your time-stopping ability are exactly the same as hers!"

"Your blood was secretly collected by your maid and submitted to the council for DNA comparison with the Queen... although that maid didn't know what the council wanted your blood for."

"In short, without a doubt, Ludwig. You are her only kin, her one and only kin."

...

Ludwig shook her head.

"Let's just assume that I really am. But I think that the one who first embraced me might not be Her Majesty the Queen."

Ye Liuli raised an eyebrow and said, "What makes you say that? A clever little trick?"

Ludwig quickly sorted out her thoughts:

"Her movements over the past century have completely diverged from mine. She disappeared five hundred years ago in the West Asia region east of Eastern Europe and only reappeared a few years ago. Although I have no memory of being embraced, I can still remember the place where I first woke up—in England."

She said in a deep voice.

"The most likely explanation is that someone extracted her essence blood at some unknown time!"

Ye Liuli also pondered, "Is there someone else who will perform the Embrace Ceremony for you...? A reasonable deduction."

She leaned close to Ludwig's ear and suddenly lowered her voice.

But that cannot change

One fact...

"Your 'fate' was already determined the only direction you would take when you arrived here."

Ludwig looked completely bewildered: "What are you talking about? What do you mean?"

Ye Liuli said, "You'll find out then... the 'fate' of being a member of the Queen's family."

"Alright, go out now. I still need to touch up Lingxi's makeup."

Ye Liuli gave the order to leave, shoving Ludwig out.

"But...but they still have questions to ask—"

"Don't be impatient," Ye Liuli said.

"Let me have some last bit of time alone with her."

Her expression was calm yet forlorn.

"It's still morning, not the time for vampire activities. Go back and tell your friends to meet at the south garden of the Eternal Pure Land at nine o'clock tonight."

"I will reveal the real reason for the vampire queen's critical illness, and why the three of us disappeared a year ago."

"Be prepared."

...

Most vampire girls are naturally effeminate, and under the influence of dark power, their alluring beauty is hard to conceal, and their every move exudes a demonic aura.

Although vampires are attracted to each other and come into contact with one another, vampire girls still have a natural aversion to male vampires because men are usually "unromantic".

For this reason, in this world, these proud and aloof women prefer to associate with other female vampires who share similar interests.

Ludwig, this vampire girl, possesses not only the above characteristics, but also an exceptionally meticulous mind and extremely delicate emotions.

Therefore, she carefully observes every move and word of the vampire girls around her, and when she has a crush on someone, she will constantly think in her mind, "I have to find a way to seduce her."

It is precisely because she pays close attention to every detail in her interactions that she has become an excellent mediator.

And so, her occupational hazard kicked in.

...

"cocoa..."

Ludwig was currently covering Ruoke's mouth, pinning her firmly to the bed, unable to move.

"Young Miss...!"

If Coco glanced at her side, she would gasp in a low voice.

"I finally managed to coax the heartbroken Lochina to sleep, please don't make a fuss, please don't wake her up—"
