The vampire heiress is two-faced

"Halt, Vampire Queen!"

ka ka ka-

Are you going to break ties with us?

Dozens of dark gun barrels were instantly aimed at the silver-haired queen, as if she would be shot if she took another step forward.

But she acted as if she hadn't heard a thing.

She glanced at him again, but there was no longer a trace of a smile on his cold face.

"Aren't you the ones who want to tear off all pretenses?"

"You invited me, the Queen, to come for peace talks, yet why are you so wary and cautious, as if you fear I might do something detrimental to you?"

"Or is it that... you never intended to negotiate with the vampires in the first place, and this meeting is just a trap set for me, the Queen?"

...

The enraged congressman was about to say something when the other congressmen, unable to bear it any longer, quickly covered his mouth and eagerly spoke up:

"I apologize, Vampire Queen! We do indeed need to hold a meeting with you to discuss matters, but his words were far too extreme—"

...

The vampire queen smiled.

"Haha, that's good."

despair!

She snapped her fingers.

"cocoa."

The maid nodded: "Yes."

Immediately afterwards, the vampire queen parted her lips slightly.

"【Short-lived precious time, let's linger here for now】."

In the next instant, all the guns aimed at her were cut in two and fell to the ground with a clatter to the ground in the soldiers' horrified gazes.

"Your words are not only excessive, but your actions are also excessive."

"Has no one taught you not to point your guns at others? Especially in such a 'serious' diplomatic setting, pointing a gun at a leader without a word. This is a very serious diplomatic incident, you know?"

She smiled.

"If I truly wanted to be your enemy, I wouldn't have needed to come here personally. Even if I were here now, I wouldn't need to step into this building; I could raze it to the ground..."

"...Want to give it a try?"

...

The congressman whose mouth had been covered broke free from his colleague, suppressing his anger, and glared at her, saying:

"Are you threatening us? Aren't you afraid we'll end our relationship with vampires—"

...

Before he could finish speaking, the silver-haired queen raised her head and returned a very intimidating look.

"Humph."

"Your actions are enough for me to terminate all cooperation with humanity. If humanity thinks it can bear the consequences of breaking ties with me... then go ahead and try."

The woman tossed her silver hair, raised her feet into the air, and floated in mid-air, sitting with her legs crossed, as if showing off her unparalleled power.

"Fortunately, I am a magnanimous queen. Lead the way, humans, and stop trying to play tricks on me."

...

The officials of the joint parliament looked at each other in bewilderment.

It seems we shouldn't have listened to this senator and set up some scheme to deal with the Queen... Not only have we offended her, but she'll probably use this as leverage to pressure them in the upcoming meetings.

So an official who had dealt with vampires volunteered to lead the Queen into the building.

...

...

"I've said it before, she's not someone to be trifled with, and why can't we just sit down and talk things out?"

"Shut up, this isn't over yet! Negotiating with a monster like her is a necessary tactic..."

"Enough with your tricks. If you keep messing around, you'll ruin this meeting. I'll consult with the higher-ups right away..."

"No! You dare! I am—"

"You're finished, you idiot. She's right about one thing—there are quite a few of us humans who can't see the reality of the situation."

Several officials who had long been dissatisfied with him waved their hands, ordering two peacekeeping soldiers to drag the arrogant congressman away.

Chapter 184 War of words

At this moment, the vampire queen Ludwig was clearly somewhat disappointed.

Because all those who planned to meet with her were diplomats, not even a top leader of equal status attended.

It seems that the group's brainwashing propaganda has taken root in people's hearts. These powerful and wealthy people are very wary of the supernatural power of the vampires and the "man-eating" monsters. Even she, the vampire queen, is treated the same.

That's why they were unwilling to let their top leader take such a "risk" to meet with the Queen.

"Sigh, humans are so ungrateful. I, the Queen, have dressed up so beautifully and elegantly, and these fellows still don't treat me well."

In the break room, Ludwig was fixing her clothes in front of the mirror and complained to Ruo Keke beside her.

Coco said, "Isn't this exactly the effect Lulu wanted? This mature queenly appearance, paired with a carefully matched queenly dress and elegant vampire makeup, would make anyone who sees her think she is a dangerous person."

Ludwig curled her lip: "Hmph, I was thinking they would kneel respectfully at my feet. It seems that humans are keeping their distance instead."

"However, this is fine too, so that I don't have to ruin the Queen's elegant image when I threaten them. Anyway, they don't treat me as the Queen... or even as a woman."

If Coco said, "Isn't that obvious? Lulu, you're not a 'person'."

Ludwig seemed to remember something, and turned back with a smile.

"Oh, right. Coco, are you scared?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"This is a meeting concerning the future of vampires and humans. Aren't you nervous accompanying me to such an important occasion?"

"I'm not nervous as long as I'm with Lulu."

Even the brown-haired maid appeared rather petite next to the mature Ludwig.

She looked into the other person's eyes and said earnestly:

"Lulu and I made a promise to protect each other forever. If I get stage fright, wouldn't that be breaking that promise?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Alright, it's time for the meeting to start. Let's go."

If Coco opens the door for Ludwig, they will then walk together toward the venue.

...

...

...

Meanwhile, inside the Eternal Night Castle.

The knight, who was under house arrest here, underwent some subtle changes in his mindset.

He slumped down on the edge of the bed.

He held his head in his hands, gritting his teeth.

"..."

“…Tsk.”

He picked up the bloodstained, damaged pocket watch and examined it closely in the dim light.

The blood on it was mostly from Yin Shang's hand being cut by its sharp, broken edges.

"Old car..."

He picked up his phone and tapped on it for a few minutes.

Then, I made a phone call.

...

"Hello? Is this Xiaoya? It's me, Ayin."

"You probably already know, your husband, he was run over by a car..."

"Don't get agitated, let me explain first..."

Yin Shang's temples throbbed, and he continued speaking while holding his forehead.

"I'll give you an address. Go there and I'll come pick you and your daughter up."

"Nowhere is safe outside. If the group can find you once, they can find you countless times. Don't let the opportunity that Lao Che risked his life for go to waste."

Without allowing the heartbroken woman on the other end to reply, Yin Shang hung up the phone.

...

He kept his head down, quickly organizing the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

"Sacrifice is inevitable..."

He slowly raised his head.

"The blood of the deceased paved the way for the living, but where will that path ultimately lead..."

"...then it should be decided by the living themselves."

Yin Shang's azure eyes were quickly stained with blood.

"If you want to slay a dragon, you must be prepared to become a dragon yourself."

"Old car... thank you."

...

...

...

The parliamentary chamber of the Union Building in Geneva, Switzerland.

The meeting has been going on for some time now.

The meeting adopted a rotating speaking system, and when it was Ludwig's turn, the dozen or so diplomats had already piled a thick stack of documents in front of her.

These documents contain accusations from both humans and the newly born vampires.

She only glanced through a few pages before realizing that 90% of the accusations and charges listed were baseless.

"Next, please let the Vampire Queen speak," the host urged.

...

The silver-haired woman snorted coldly.

"Do I, the Queen, need to say anything? Acknowledge these baseless accusations?"

The host said, "These documents fully demonstrate that the rule of the Vampire Royal Court is unpopular. If these accusations are baseless, why do the vast majority of vampires despise your Vampire Royal Court and you, their queen?"

"What we want to know is—the new vampire queen, Lady Ludwig. What is humanity to you...?"

"In other words, in your view, what is the human species...?"

...

The vampire queen tossed her silver hair, threading her fingers through it and gliding them across the tips.

"I refuse to answer that question."

She had no intention of going along with these guys. Leading others into their linguistic traps was a favorite tactic of these cunning diplomats.
