The vampire heiress is two-faced

"Lulu...come back soon. I made the sweet blood cake you wanted to eat."

...

Lost in thought, Ruo Keke was unaware that someone was approaching her until the person tapped her on the shoulder.

"...ah!"

Coco was clearly startled. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the person who had come was her nominal teacher and actual adoptive father—Yasin Torre.

"Teacher Torre! What's wrong—"

"I've been calling you, but you didn't seem to hear me. What's wrong? Are you thinking about someone?"

Coco shook her head: "No, no. It's just, it's just—"

If Coco was a child who couldn't lie, Torre knew that well. So he didn't press further, and smiled as he patted her head.

"Alright. In recent times, especially since the new queen ascended the throne, our council has been extremely busy. It's been several months since we last had a proper chat. I've really failed as your teacher."

Torre gestured for her to come over.

"But I'm sorry, Coco. I'm not here to chat with you today. There are some things that it's time for you to know."

"What?" Ruo Keke asked.

“You will be the final key, the crucial 'key' that will unlock our path to victory,” Torre said as he walked.

"As you know, Her Majesty the Queen went to the Eternal Pure Land to carry out a secret mission. Now the mission has been completed in stages. After spending decades there, the Blood Physicians who were sent to the Pure Land to conduct secret research have all returned to await orders."

"Because their research has hit a bottleneck, and the person who can help them overcome this bottleneck is you."

Coco was completely confused: "Me? Why me?"

Torre smiled, a hint of guilt on his face.

"It's alright, let me explain everything to you properly with her after we go inside. Consider it something I owe you..."

"...I will explain until you fully understand."

If Coco was even more confused, she had no choice but to follow Torre's steps and push open the door, entering the royal family's private bedroom.

...

Inside the doorway, a blonde girl sat sideways on the edge of the bed, smiling as she watched Ruo Keke arrive.

"Hello, little maid."

Although her pure white vampire dress added a touch of holiness to her, her words and actions still couldn't hide her uniquely alluring vampire charm.

She had blonde hair, blood-red eyes, pointed ears, a petite figure, and a delicate, exquisite face above her slender neck—undoubtedly the appearance of the Eternal Queen, Siriot.

But clearly... her distinctive features, coupled with that short and flippant opening line, already gave Ruo Keke a pretty good idea of ​​her true identity.

"Lingxi... Princess Lingxi?!"

...

She wagged her finger: "Hey, it's Lingxi, but not the Princess. She abdicated long ago after the new Queen ascended the throne. If we're really talking about it, shouldn't the new Princess be you?"

If Coco was taken aback, she would instantly understand what she meant.

She looked around in a panic, making sure no one else was nearby.

"What are you saying? Don't talk nonsense—"

...

...

...

Just like when explaining to Torre, Lingxi spent a long time explaining the whole story to the stunned Ruokeke before she could understand, rubbing her overloaded head as if she did.

"Oh... So Her Majesty originally intended to awaken the former Queen Hiriote, but it was an accident that you were resurrected in the former Queen's body?"

“I understand now. So, what do you and Professor Torre want to tell me?”

...

Lingxi crossed her legs and gave a cryptic smile.

"Well, that's a long story... It all started when I was still the Famine Knight of Apocalypse."

"Your birth stemmed from a small deal between someone and this Mr. Torre."

"Oh, don't misunderstand. The 'you' I'm referring to here is you right now—"

"[Experimental Subject Alpha], if possible."

Chapter 208 Not Afraid of Making Things Happen

Several years ago, before the world was turned upside down and when vampires were still living in the shadows...

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse descended to earth at the call of the Fallen Pope, and under his control and command, laid out his "grand plan".

However, these four special spirits born from the corrupted holy artifacts—the Knights of the Apocalypse—even though they were given the command to be loyal to the Pope at the time of their summoning, they still produced an anomaly who, under such constraints, still loved to seek pleasure and tried to rebel against these shackles.

The Famine of Apocalypse, the Holy Grail of Greed—Ligrail

That was her identity and name at that time.

She was born as the embodiment of disaster, yet she possessed an innate desire to travel the world and indulge in pleasure. Being ordered to meticulously execute some grand plan only fueled her growing resentment.

She likes to eat, play, and have fun, but she dislikes fulfilling her duty as a "Hero of Famine".

She was born from the combination of the Grail of Greed and the Power of Famine. Therefore, the moment she gained her "self," she was destined not to live her life obediently as a "Knight of the Apocalypse."

Meanwhile, the "Plague Knight," under the Pope's orders, was researching a virus capable of transforming humans into bloodthirsty monsters. After its completion, through a series of meticulous plans, it was released into the city of Debrecen, Hungary, triggering the "Debrecen Plague Incident."

According to him, the purpose of this horrific massacre was merely a "clinical trial"—

That was the beginning of everything, the final reassurance that made Lady Grail make up her mind at that time.

At that time, she was traveling with Queen Hiriote and others as a "captive". She quietly left everyone's sight, found Rukoko who was attacked by bloodthirsty monsters and infected with the plague and was about to die, and gave her her "Gift of the Holy Grail".

"Hehe, the virus sample on her body can be preserved very well thanks to the Holy Grail's blessing. With the help of the remaining Holy Grail's blessing in her body, the antidote should be able to be developed soon."

Rigray had harbored rebellious intentions for years, and had already contacted Yasin Torre, a high-ranking member of the then-unreorganized Vampire Council, repeatedly revealing the Church's secret plans and sending them numerous remnants of viruses from experimental sites. However, without exception, the vampires made no progress against them.

As Torre watched the human girl being secretly transported to the hideout, he questioned the mysterious woman on the other end of the phone.

"Who are you...? Why are you helping us like this? Why are you rebelling against the church?"

Ligrail let out a cryptic, sinister laugh, leaned closer to the microphone, and whispered:

"I just didn't want you to lose too badly, okay?"

"If we don't cause the church some trouble, and the church wins too easily, wouldn't that be meaningless?"

"With this girl, in time you'll be able to develop an antidote using the virus in her body, right? At that time, you must fight the church with all your might."

"Hehe, don't disappoint me."

Even though this woman inexplicably became the queen of the vampires years later, and even though her behavior was always filled with incomprehensible chaos, frivolity, and absurdity, she did indeed stick to what she valued.

She wanted to gain her own freedom, and for that she was willing to sacrifice her life time and time again.

Ultimately, it became "Lingxi von Mona," belonging only to one person.

...

At that time, Torre was unaware that the Eternal Queen was still alive, so he had to shoulder the responsibility of saving the vampires alone.

A catastrophe that would ruin the reputation of vampires and sweep across all of humanity is about to strike, and all he has to do is make thorough preparations before it arrives.

For example—developing an antidote.

The girl named Ruo Keke became an experimental subject for Tore's research and development team.

Medical research and development invariably involves the sacrifice of countless "guinea pigs," and Ruo Keke is an irreplaceable guinea pig in this research.

In Torre's own words, the crimes he committed against Rokoko were "too numerous to count."

Although the antidote for the Bloodlust Plague was eventually successfully developed, and the dying Ruo Keke was cured by the antidote, the hundreds of studies had left incurable scars on her body, permanently damaging her memory and turning her into a complete "blank slate".

Therefore, Torre took on the role of her teacher, teaching her from scratch to become an excellent vampire maid, which was also his way of making amends for his sins.

He still can't forget it.

...

Torre knelt before Ruo Keke and solemnly apologized to her.

"That's how it is, Coco... I'm so sorry."

"But it is precisely because of this that your blood can help the current research team of the Blood Medicine team make progress. Because the serum that cured you was still an unoptimized early form at the time, there are still some traces of toxins remaining in your body."

"The virus of the Bloodthirsty Plague and the deadly virus targeting the Vampire Queen were both created by the same person as the research results stolen by the group—the long-dead Plague Knight Schroed."

"Now, you are the final piece of the puzzle in this research, the final key to the truth."

...

...

...

After listening to Torre and Lingxi's detailed account, Coco was shocked by the truth of these events.

"So... the reason I lost my memory wasn't because of brain damage?"

“That’s part of the reason,” Torre said. “But the main reason is because of my…”

Coco quickly shook her head: "Alright, Teacher Torre. I didn't mean to blame you. After all, who can choose their own destiny?"

She smiled.

"Besides, I'm quite satisfied with my life now. I've reunited with my parents, have cherished people around me, and am able to do a job I love..."

“I am the vampire maid Ruo Keke, that is an indisputable fact, and I am very happy with this identity and job. Let bygones be bygones.”

"I have no objection to participating in the research. In fact, I should be happy to contribute to the future of the vampire clan."

...

Looking at her innocent yet determined smile, Torre still couldn't let it go, so he could only pat her head.

"...Sorry, Coco."

Lingxi waved her hand: "Alright, stop sighing like that, Mr. Torre. You're her teacher and godfather, you shouldn't be like this as a teacher."

She yawned, gesturing for them to leave.

"In that case, let's not delay and take her to the blood doctors. They need to rest for a while."

"We'll be setting off to find Lochina soon, so it would be a laughing stock if I didn't get my body back to its best condition."

Chapter 209 Special Techniques

"Hoo... um..."

"Well...!"

Lochina woke up groggily and quickly realized the situation.

She glared at the man sitting in the dim light, still bound hand and foot and unable to move.

She remembered that she had been knocked unconscious by her "big brother" outside the castle. Naïve as she was, she should have known what had happened.

Whenever she woke up, this man, who had shed his disguise, would take care of her "meticulously," leaving her no chance of escape.

The ropes binding her body were soaked in holy water, which not only caused Lochina's skin to burn like fire at all times, but also suppressed her dark power, preventing her from summoning the magic spear to fight back.

Her mouth was also firmly gagged, preventing her from making a sound.

"Judging from your expression... are you trying to say something?"

The man sneered.

"Don't worry, once you're in hell, you'll have plenty of opportunities to complain to your accomplices..."

"...As for now, just stay put."

...

“Woo—woo!”

puff!
