The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 70

At this moment, their blood-red pupils met.

"...Tore has found you, my little darling."

Ludwig pointed to herself, puzzled: "Me?"

Lingxi stood up from the throne and waved her hand.

"Come, use your blood energy to dodge it."

She conjured a jet-black, mimicking spear with her right hand, while the cup of blood she held in her left hand remained perfectly still.

"You'll die if you don't dodge?"

boom! !

She unleashed a terrifying, curved shockwave, so fast it caught everyone off guard and showed no mercy.

"Alas!!"

Ludwig had no time to think; she immediately entered the paused time, avoiding the energy wave that could have stirred her fear.

Her sixth sense was still quite sharp; she could sense that the Queen's every move was simply beyond her ability to handle.

hum-

"Woo-ha, ha-ah..."

Due to the aftereffects of using blood energy, Ludwig gasped twice, still shaken. When she came to her senses, Lingxi was suddenly standing next to her.

"Oh!" Ludwig exclaimed in surprise.

Lingxi gently took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't eat you."

At this moment, the cunning woman secretly used her powers to invade Ludwig's consciousness and force her to lower her guard.

Ludwig nodded. "Okay, go ahead."

"Hehe, that's more like it." She smiled and patted Ludwig's head.

"Tell me, little Ludwig. When did you acquire this blood power?"

Ludwig recalled, "Hmm...it was probably five or six years ago? I almost got hit by a car once, and in my panic, I used this power. I even gave it a nice name."

"【Stay Here For Now】...it sounds so nice."

Lingxi praised him, seemingly lost in thought.

"However, it does match up if we say it five or six years ago."

The next second, Lingxi released her mental influence.

Ludwig quickly puffed out her cheeks, staring at her with a sullen expression.

"You, you're going too far! Can't you speak properly?!"

Lingxi laughed: "You're so cute, I can't help but want to tease you a little."

"Back on the highway, you were able to resist the mental control of that authority. Seeing your eyes just now has confirmed that fact for me. Combined with your powerful blood energy that can touch the laws of the world..."

She leaned close to Ludwig and sniffed her neck.

"Yes, there is indeed some connection between you and my beloved."

The blonde girl licked her lips.

"If I could try it, I might be more certain..."

Ludwig took two steps back in alarm: "W-what do you want to do!"

She tilted her head:

"Of course, I'll drink your blood, my little darling. Although I'm not a real vampire, I can indeed drink blood just like a vampire."

"How...how do I know you won't take this opportunity to control me! Stay away from me!"

Lingxi smiled: "He's not that kind of person. Besides, if your relationship with Xiaoxi is confirmed, then your status as crown princess will be unavoidable. You won't be able to avoid being a princess even if you don't want to."

"in other words."

She paused.

"Now that you're a vampire princess, you're my adopted daughter. How could I possibly lay a hand on my adorable little girl?"

Ludwig was completely disoriented: "That's not the point at all! No, let me go—"

...

The hunter eventually becomes the hunted; this saying is all too fitting for this particular person.

Chapter 76 Vampire Princess? Me?

After a while.

"Ah."

Lingxi savored the taste in her mouth; it was the sweet blood of Ludwig that she had just sucked.

"So you know nothing about your own background?"

Ludwig said, "Of course, I gave up searching for my origins decades ago."

Lingxi laughed and said, "...So can't you come a little closer, cutie? Do you have to stand so far away?"

Ludwig stood about ten meters away from Lingxi, her cheeks still slightly flushed.

"No! Humph."

Lingxi sighed helplessly, "We have a long time to spend together in the future. Can't you be a little gentler to your future 'Queen Mother'?"

Ludwig couldn't outmaneuver her, so she discovered that getting straight to the point was the most effective approach.

"Speak quickly," Ludwig said.

"Hehe, okay then."

Lingxi shook the cup.

"I am also quite interested in your background. I've heard you're a mediator? You seem to have a pretty good reputation in the area."

"My little darling, if you accept a mediation request from this prince, then as payment, I will grant you your most pressing wish..."

She tilted her head back and drank the blood in the cup.

"Goo."

"I will help you uncover the mystery of your origins and take you to see the vampire queen."

Ludwig put her hands on her hips: "But finding the vampire queen isn't exactly one of my 'urgent wishes,' is it?"

"Is that so? Then let me explain it more clearly." Lingxi smiled.

"This is a test from this prince. If you can successfully complete this mediation request, it will prove that you are qualified to 'mediate' for the sole king of all vampires."

Ludwig's eyes widened: "What? Mediation for the vampire queen?"

“That’s right,” Lingxi said.

"If I can successfully 'mediate' for my queen, I can not only use all my power to find out your origins, but also fulfill all your wishes to the best of my ability."

...

Ludwig wavered.

For her, finding her origins was a goal that had been abandoned for decades, and the reason for abandoning it was simply because she had suffered hardships and found nothing.

If the Vampire Council could help her...

Seeing Ludwig's troubled expression, Lingxi gave a soft snort.

"If you think I, the prince, am the kind of person who would go back on my word..."

The blonde princess on the throne gestured for Ludwig to come forward.

Ludwig, wondering what she was up to, walked forward with a puzzled look until she stopped in front of the throne steps.

The princess stood up gracefully and pointed.

"Kneel down."

Under the influence of the power, Ludwig had no time to think and her body knelt down in front of her without her consent.

"Huh? W-what are you doing—"

hum...

Lingxi reached into her body again, and in the blink of an eye, she took out a ring-shaped object from her chest.

With a gentle shake, the "ring" shone with a beautiful metallic luster.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a crown!

She walked down the steps and looked down at Ludwig below.

"Although you were chosen as the Crown Prince under the Succession Act, it does not mean that you will be deposed when the Succession Act is abolished."

“A thousand years ago, the council established the laws of the vampire king. Those who are favored by the vampire queen can be included in the queen's clan according to her wishes; to reproduce for her and expand the royal family... But her eternal life and aloof personality have kept her in solitude for a thousand years. Apart from this prince, no one has ever won her heart.”

The princess's expression turned slightly forlorn when this topic was mentioned.

She held the exquisitely crafted crown in her hands and sighed softly.

"She felt that since she was eternal and immortal, why would she need to establish a clan?"

“I don’t think so. The existence of the Queen’s clan... can also share the burden for her, who is all alone, and make the rule of the vampire royal court more secure.”

"It will also allow the name of Queen Hilliot to one day resound throughout the world."

The blonde princess's expression hardened at that moment, and she solemnly held up the crown in her hands.

"Spirit dwells here, swearing an oath to the only vampire queen."

"From this day forward, Ludwig shall be incorporated into the clan and established as the eldest daughter, namely Ludwig Yang von Mona, who shall be the Great Princess of the Vampire Clan."

She gently placed the crown on Ludwig's head and secured it with the headdress designed to hold it in place.

...

"Eh?"

"Hey...hey! Are you serious?"

Ludwig had experienced a rollercoaster of emotions in just a few dozen hours. She touched the genuine princess crown on her head, feeling bewildered.

“But Your Highness, I have no idea why I can be a princess… No, you must be up to something!” Ludwig pouted suspiciously.

Lingxi smiled and said, "Hehe, lovely Ludwig, if you are not qualified to be a king, Torre, who appoints people based on merit, would not have found you."

She gently helped Ludwig up from her kneeling position and straightened the breast ornaments that had been knocked out of place by the blood-sucking incident.

"And this so-called 'qualification'... I will tell you as long as you can fulfill my mediation request."

"Well? Now you can trust that I, the Prince, won't go back on my word, right?"

Ludwig was not blinded by the sudden power she had been given; she calmly said:

"What secrets do I hold that would make you go to such lengths to make me a princess?"

Lingxi teased, "Don't be so impatient. Didn't I already say that as long as the mediation request is completed..."

"OK then."

Ludwig pursed her lips.

"If you want me to believe you, you have to promise me one thing."

"what?"

"Don't try to mentally control me, it's so annoying!"

"That won't do. As the princess's mother, it's only reasonable for her to discipline her disobedient child sometimes, isn't it?"

"You, you... I will never acknowledge you as my 'Queen Mother'!"

...

Ludwig turned and walked away, but after only a few steps, she bumped into someone.

"Hey, Lochina?"
