She ran quickly towards Yin Shang and obediently knelt behind his chair.
"Can I sit in on the proceedings too? I promise I won't say anything inappropriate."
Yin Shang said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me outside?"
A few hours ago, he finally cleared up the misunderstanding and dispelled her doubts, but now she's clinging to him again, just like before.
Yin Shang didn't think there was anything wrong with this, after all, he owed her too much and should make up for it by spending more time with her.
"Alright, then be mindful of your manners. The rulers of the vampires are watching."
"Okay, I understand." The nun stood obediently to the side.
but...
Ludwig, who was standing to the side, hadn't taken her eyes off the nun since she walked in.
My eyes were glued to the screen.
"Hey, you stupid knight."
Ludwig wiped the drool from her mouth.
"Who is this lovely nun?! Could she be... your girlfriend?"
call out--
Ludwig even used [Stay Here], instantly appearing beside the nun.
"What a cute girl! And she has such a great figure... Can you... tell me her name?"
"I won't do anything to you, let's just be friends!"
"Is it good or bad? —"
...
"Stop, stop, stop!!"
Yin Shang grabbed the bewildered Solid and the overly excited Ludwig, and forcibly separated them.
"Alright, alright, you young lady, really... And you, Solid, can't you put up a little resistance? This guy can eat people."
Solid blushed and said, "I'm so sorry!"
Ludwig pouted: "How could I possibly eat people!"
Yin Shang held her down.
"Alright, alright."
"Tell me first, was it you who rescued me from that factory in Brasov?"
Ludwig nodded disapprovingly, "Yes."
Yin Shang said, "Then this must not be the first time you've seen her."
After Yin Shang said that, Ludwig gradually remembered that the black-haired nun in front of her did look somewhat familiar.
"Is it...is it the one who died back then...?"
"Yes, she's alive."
Then, Yin Shang explained the whole story to everyone in this way.
...
"Hey—is that the golden retriever kitten?"
The most surprised was Ludwig, who eagerly asked first:
"So, can she still turn into a cat?"
Yin Shang replied, "Of course it is. It's just that there are occasional slight deviations when transforming back from cat form, which can cause the cat's characteristics to... well, let's not talk about that."
"That's good. Sniff, sniff."
Ludwig skillfully sniffed at the girl's body.
"But she seems to be a spirit of holy light. Isn't it too dangerous for us... especially for Lochina and the Princess, to stay here?"
Lingxi waved her hand and smiled: "If I were afraid that she would be a threat to us, would she still be standing here? Lovely girls are not bad people, I firmly believe that."
"Although I, Lochina, and Miss Solid are all artifact spirits, artifact spirit resonance is similar to vampire aura. As long as the person doesn't want to, it won't affect their kind. As for her holy spells... I will arrange for court instructors to teach her some safe and effective holy spells that won't harm her vampire body. So please rest assured, my little darling."
Ludwig scratched her head: "Wait, why do vampires know holy spells?"
"This is a new law established after I took office. Although vampires themselves cannot use it, I still require vampire scholars to study holy spells. Because there are some ancient Eastern sayings—'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated,' and the so-called 'Learn from the barbarians to subdue them.' When I was a child, my father used to nag me about these things every day. See, this is coming in handy, isn't it?"
Ludwig said thoughtfully, "I see..."
...
The princess suddenly changed the subject and wagged her finger.
"I'm sure everyone has no more questions about Miss Solid, right? So now... it's time for our adorable princess to answer your questions!"
Ludwig met her mysterious and dangerous eyes, and she knew that there was no point in hiding it anymore.
Instead, let's use the power of Lingxi and the Vampire Royal Court to find out the true nature of the [Moon Shadow Witch].
"Hmph, then watch closely, everyone."
"This young lady's... [Moon Shadow Witch]."
hum-
Dark blue light particles overflowed from Ludwig's body and then transformed into a translucent witch.
Although it was clearly the power of a demon of the night, it seemed to radiate a cool glow like the bright moonlight, illuminating the entire dimly lit conference hall.
Lochina, nestled in her arms, exclaimed, "Wow! So beautiful!"
Ye Liuli curled her lip: "Hmph, it was the culprit that destroyed the garden. Princess Ludwig was unconscious at the time."
Yin Shang nudged Solid beside him: "Is this something similar to you?"
Solid shook her head: "Although I am a spirit, I can be seen and touched. Spirits have physical bodies; they are not true spirits."
Yin Shang scratched his head: "So that means it's not something like a spirit of a weapon?"
The princess, however, looked slightly surprised: "Wow, so beautiful..."
"It reminds me of her... that ray of moonlight that belonged only to me."
Her melancholy expression vanished in an instant, replaced by that enigmatic smile.
"Sweetie, can you put her back in with ease?"
Ludwig nodded, and the Moon Shadow Witch vanished instantly.
Lingxi then waved her hand and said, "Then let's leave it at that. You all saw it, right? She has mastered new blood energy."
The princess's actions clearly surprised Ludwig: "Eh? That's it? I thought—"
"Then what do you want to do?"
Lingxi interrupted her.
"You expect me, the prince, to help you figure out what kind of blood energy the [Moon Shadow Witch] is? It belongs to you, and who in this world knows it better than you?"
"But I don't care where you got it from, nor do I care about its capabilities. What I care about is whether you can control it freely and whether you want to use it to fight against the vampires... Knowing this is enough."
She covered her face and smiled.
"My little darling, of course you wouldn't betray the vampire clan, right? So, after I learned that you could control it freely, I naturally didn't ask any further questions."
...
"How cunning."
She actually assumed Ludwig would "never betray" her... immediately seizing the high ground, making it seem like Ludwig was contradicting her no matter how she tried to refute her.
Moreover, Lingxi has not used any mental control on her at all, so she has no way of knowing whether she can resist that control.
It seems we need to find a suitable time...
"Thank you for your indifference to the [Moonshadow Witch]. But you and everyone here need to know something about her—"
Ludwig snorted.
"It was taken from the body of [Chess Clan]. In other words, it is blood energy that has been modified by the group and used to create those... inhuman and ghost-like modified warriors."
"And that chess player..."
Ludwig and Yin Shang, who looked terrified, exchanged a glance and smiled.
"Undoubtedly, he was already dead when I arrived at the scene of the Knight's injury. Miss Solid, who came to help the Knight, was also seriously injured, but fortunately she was able to merge with the Knight's squire cat and survive... As for the other 'chess player,' he has probably already gone back to report the news."
"Your Highness, please immediately cease cooperation with the Spire Group and dispatch personnel to investigate them. They are using vampires to achieve some ulterior motives. And this sometimes dim-witted, foolish knight is wanted by the Chess Clan precisely because of his investigation of the group."
Ludwig looked at Yin Shang.
"Right?"
Yin Shang complained, "If you're going to talk business, just talk business. Why do you have to insult me like that? What's wrong with you?"
Since Ludwig covered up the truth about Solid for him anyway, Yin Shang should thank her in the future, so he won't complain now.
He cleared his throat:
“That’s right, that’s how it is. I only know a small part of its true nature. This plan to transform humans into super soldiers is known within the Spiel Corporation as the Evolver Project.”
"I have no information about the specifics, but the best course of action right now is just as this princess said: immediately terminate all cooperation with the group and initiate an investigation."
Yin Shang took out his phone and started swiping to retrieve information.
"Also, there are some things I need to let you know."
"This world... is almost too small to accommodate vampires."
Chapter 103 Return
"what?"
After hearing the news relayed by Yin Shang, Princess Lingxi's cynical expression finally softened a little.
"Sigh, as expected, humans are unreliable."
The blonde girl couldn't help but stare at the ring finger of her left hand, where the symbol of the eternal covenant reflected a mesmerizing luster.
"My Queen has believed this for a thousand years. Because she has personally experienced countless betrayals by humanity."
"Looking back now, why did I go to so much trouble to get her to believe in humanity again? What a waste of time, such a waste of time..."
Yin Shang said, "Your Highness, humans are not—"
The lazy princess suddenly glanced at him, a crimson glint in her eyes.
"I don't want to hear it. I've heard enough of what you've said. Don't interrupt before it's your turn to speak."
She snorted.
"How rude."
...
The blonde princess leaned against the table, resting her chin on her hand, and elegantly and arrogantly surveyed the crowd present.
"Now, the king is nowhere to be seen in the vampire royal court. It seems that I have been negligent, and the Spier Group has probably sensed something was amiss, thus revealing their fangs. But in my opinion, they actually have an even more insidious conspiracy that has not yet surfaced."
She looked at Yin Shang.
"Whether humans are trustworthy... the vampire queen will decide. This time, I, the prince, have decided to leave the choice entirely to her. Whatever decision she makes, I, as the vampire princess... will support her to the end."
"I already have the answer to how to deal with the group. It is to remain still and avoid alerting them. Only by keeping a low profile can we lure them out of their hole. Once the group lowers their guard, we can gather more leverage against them."
The princess gave a cold laugh.
"I won't fall for the same trick again. For now, let's leave it at that."
Yin Shang muttered to himself, "It seems she didn't even notice if I hadn't told her."
...
"Okay."
