The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 167

call--!

The maid beside her turned into black mist, which then formed large wings behind her.

She flapped her black wings and took off into the air, disappearing into the night sky.

...

...

A few minutes later.

Ludwig, who had disappeared from human sight, landed quietly on the rooftop of an empty building.

"Ugh... Hmm!"

She swayed her body strangely, then shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye—

In the blink of an eye, she transformed back into the young and beautiful girl she had been before.

The black wings behind her transformed back into Rucoco and quickly stepped forward to support Ludwig.

"Lulu? Are you alright?"

Ludwig laughed and said, "It's nothing. The 'drug effect' has just worn off. Phew, I was just a little bit away from revealing my true colors and exposing myself in public."

She hugged herself, holding up her slipped top, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Hey Coco, could you please help me pull up my bra straps?"

Her queenly gown was actually the same one she had worn before. Thanks to the vampire tailor's meticulous modifications, the gown had a flexible, adjustable design, with magical structures added to adjust its length and looseness from the waistband to the bodice to the skirt.

Girls' skirts are always their secret weapon, something they put a lot of effort into to show their best selves.

Just a short while later, Ludwig's dress was adjusted back to its original size. The top fit perfectly, was comfortable, and prevented any wardrobe malfunctions, while the skirt length was just right, reaching her knees.

In just a few minutes, the mature silver-haired woman from before vanished without a trace, transforming back into the elegant and lovely silver-haired girl she is now.

"Is it ready?" Ludwig asked.

Coco fiddled with the headdress on Ludwig's silver hair one last time.

"Alright, alright. It's just that you're being too demanding, Lulu. Anyway, we'll need to shower and change when we get back. I really don't know what you..."

Ludwig stuck out her tongue: "What does it matter? Okay, let's go home."

...

Upon hearing this, Ruo Keke was taken aback.

"Home..."

Yes, their home is now that eternal night castle.

Although for a long time, Coco's home was that castle, she didn't really feel any real connection to it.

Only when she spent time with Ludwig in the small villa in Chongchuan City could she feel the warmth of "home".

And they may never go back there. Thinking of this, Ruo Keke felt inexplicably melancholy.

She shook her head: "Sigh, I'm overthinking. We're still living together now, aren't we?"

...

Ludwig took Rokoko's hand and prepared to head to the local vampire dark zone in order to return to the castle via the teleportation hall.

"Okay, let's head that way..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ludwig suddenly froze.

...

"There's murderous intent..."

She immediately turned around and tackled Ruo Keke to the ground.

"Lie down!"

call out--

And then came that faint, almost inaudible gunshot.

The moment it rang out, the deadly bullet shot from Ludwig's side.

It passed right where I had just been standing.

"drink!"

If Coco immediately deployed her [Void Domain] around her, as before, she could control the surrounding domain and successfully sensed the unusual thin line in the air.

"The [Cannon] of the chess players...it's him again!" Ruo Keke exclaimed.

This guy has been relentlessly targeting Ludwig, who came to the meeting... Now that she's the vampire queen, it's no surprise that the group has once again listed her as an assassination target.

His ability allows him to freely control the friction of anything he touches. He can coat bullets with his blood and shoot them to create invisible, linear traps. Once they touch them, they are firmly fixed in place by the greatly enhanced friction, becoming sitting ducks.

If you are directly hit by his melee attack, all friction will be eliminated, and you will sink straight into the hard mud or rocks from which there is no escape, where the suddenly increased friction will seal you in...

His name is Alexei Petrenko. He has extremely strong combat awareness and experience. He is a veteran of the Soviet Union who has fought in many battles and was once a member of the Soviet Patriotic Demon Hunter Corps.

Undoubtedly, she is a formidable rival who gives Ludwig and Rokoko a headache just by thinking about her.

He chose this moment to attack because he knew she would have to leave through the vampire's dark zone. If she spread the conflict to civilians, it would give the Spire Group ammunition to continue their deceptive tactics...

Ludwig scoffed, "This guy used a silencer and attacked us from the rooftop... that means he was prepared for anything, which is typical of him. I'm curious, if we hadn't gone up to the rooftop and had just blended into the crowd and left, what would he have done?"

Ruo Keke said, "He must still have a backup plan. After our encounter in the snow mountain, I won't let my guard down against this person, Lulu."

Ludwig nodded.

"I suspect it will cause a lot of civilian casualties, and then they'll use the media to pin the blame on us."

She slowly rose from the ground and coldly looked in the direction from which the bullets had come.

"Hmph, I don't know what you're planning with that silencer... but if you want to end this fight quietly—"

call out--

Ludwig tilted her head slightly, the bullet whizzed past her ear, and she was unharmed.

“That’s exactly what I was thinking too. After all, I’ve always preferred quiet to noise.”

She raised her head slightly, her blood-red eyes glowing, and called out softly.

"The Eternal Night Witch".

Om-!

Dark blue light gradually gathered, formed, and took shape in front of her, and the ghost girl in the witch's dress reappeared.

Ludwig became queen, and the Moon Shadow Witch naturally evolved... becoming the current [Eternal Night Witch].

Her witch's long dress was adorned with twinkling stars, and her form was more clearly discernible than ever before. If it weren't for the faint dark blue fluorescence emanating from her, she would be indistinguishable from a real living being.

The Night Witch sat casually on her wand, crossed her legs, and disdainfully looked towards the direction from which the bullets were coming.

Ding--!

With a flick of her wand, she easily deflected the second bullet with one end.

Ludwig had already mastered the ability to make such precise movements; the magnificent star mage seemed to be her second body, moving with incredible agility and lifelike grace.

The Night Witch smiled and parted her beautiful lips slightly.

"A pathetic dying man, a defeated opponent who overestimated his own abilities..."

The silver-haired girl gave a wicked smile and continued:

"...Are you ready to face death?"

...

The silver-haired girl's unfathomable power transformed into an eerie mist, swirling around her.

"hiss..."

Under the moonlight, her tongue slowly slid across her index finger, her eyes overflowing with an increasingly intense arrogance.

"Hunting time."

Chapter 187 The Future Given

That night, the blonde girl and the silver-haired girl, who was still a princess, whispered to each other on their moonlit bed.

"Ludwig, my little darling..."

In response to the latter's request, the former offered her his precious Holy Grail gift and the blood of the artifact spirit.

The power drawn from the blonde girl laid a solid physical foundation for the future queen, making her body capable of bearing immense royal authority.

Ludwig only realized these things when she accepted the abdication of the Eternal Queen.

...

Despite having a large amount of blood and power drained by the vampire princess who longed to become stronger, the blonde girl did not complain at the time, only expressing dissatisfaction with her somewhat rough eating habits later on.

At this moment, she gently stroked the girl's silver hair, while the half-asleep vampire princess hummed softly in her arms without moving.

"How much must I pay to save my one and only?"

The blonde girl looked at the moonlight outside the window and gave a bitter smile.

"Perhaps it's been impossible for a long time... I just don't want to accept reality?"

She gently stroked

The silver-haired girl's hair, smooth and silky, was just like the person who haunted her dreams.

In a daze, it seemed as if the one sleeping soundly in her arms was the eternal queen she had been longing for.

"Ah, Ludwig..."

"Regardless, you are still her relative, my daughter in name only. If I could, I still wouldn't want to..."

She paused, a fleeting hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes.

Subsequently, it was replaced by the usual chaos, frivolity, and evil.

...

"Little cutie, are you still awake?"

The blonde girl's words were gentle and magical, deeply imprinted in Ludwig's mind, and she could not forget them for a long time afterward.

"If you have the chance in the future, could you grant me and my queen a wish?"

She gently hugged Ludwig, leaned close to her ear, and whispered softly.

"From now on, please live freely, happily, and carefree, just like you have in the past."

"You have the blood of Hirioth flowing in your veins, and you have also received the blessing of my Holy Grail. You are now the continuation of my and her lives."

"As long as you live well, both she and I will be very happy."

"Hehe, although you probably still won't admit it... but I still have to beg you, even if it's a bit stubborn."

...

"My nominal daughter, Ludwig..."

"Your life is not troubled by curses, nor is your future obscured by suffering. Your path ahead is so smooth, and with your intelligence, you will surely go further than we do..."

"Deep in the Alps lies a story that has been dragged on and has yet to come to an end."

"After witnessing our story..."

"...Let's go and witness the future of the vampires."

...

...

...

In a daze, the blonde girl's figure vanished without a trace, and her charming yet elegant, bitter yet carefree smile gradually faded from memory.

Now that everything has changed, Ludwig finally understood Lingxi's words from back then.

Unable to save her lover even at the end of her rope, and driven to madness by her own self-destructive tendencies, she still wanted to leave a spark of hope for the vampires in her final moments.
