The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 182

She closed her eyes, savoring the long-lost feeling of "freedom".

"I feel so light."

"My body doesn't hurt anymore... and it doesn't feel heavy anymore. Could it be that I've been cured?"

"...What's going on? You two seem to have a lot to say?"

...

She was unmistakably the real Siriote, her demeanor and words flawless, just like the "Spirit Abode" from before.

Ludwig and Ye Liuli were completely confused about the situation.

"Yes, first... cough, Your Majesty."

Ludwig blushed slightly and coughed lightly.

"Since I am your family member, I will still address you as such."

"That's roughly how it happened..."

...

Ludwig briefly explained to her the cause, method, and result of her treatment.

She nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

"That's right."

“You transformed my body into something akin to a spirit through a ritual… and then fused the Holy Grail, which still contained fragments of Lingxi’s consciousness, with me. That’s why I was able to survive the ritual to cleanse the toxins. In other words, Lingxi sacrificed herself again to save me. Is that right?”

Ludwig pressed on, "Yes, that's it. So, Mother, do you feel anything is wrong with your body?"

Hirio shook her head and gave a bitter smile.

"no."

"But ever since I fell into a deep sleep here, I've had a very, very long dream. In the dream, I was constantly...dancing tirelessly with her..."

"But dreams always come to an end. She seemed to be telling me to live on... and then... I felt like I had fallen into a bottomless abyss. Then, I woke up in front of you."

Her red pupils were dull, devoid of any of the arrogance and elegance she once possessed as a queen.

"It's so cruel... I returned to this world without her all by myself."

Even she, you all, and Lochina... were all urging me to live on...

She pressed her hands to her chest, unable to hide her pain.

Even knowing that everything she has left is inside me, always with me... I still...

"..."

"..."

"what!"

Hiliott stared wide-eyed in utter shock.

"She...she..."

"I...!"

Her silver hair was instantly dyed a dazzling gold...

But the difference is that this time her blonde hair is only half there!

She had transformed into a very strange state; half of her hair was silver-white, while the other half was dyed gold; although both her eyes were the bright red characteristic of vampires, they had two completely different expressions.

In that instant, "Lingxi" and "Xiliot" became fully aware of each other's presence.

She picked up the mirror that had fallen into the coffin and looked at herself.

"what...!"

"I...I...we..."

"How could this happen?!"

...

...

For Hilliot and Lingxi, this feeling was quite peculiar.

They share each other's memories and perceptions, but their consciousness and thoughts are completely independent, and they can even compete with each other for control of their bodies.

However, they cannot control their bodies together for extended periods because their weak bodies cannot bear the weight of two consciousnesses. Therefore, during prolonged activities, only one of them can take control.

It's like having a dual personality capable of dialogue; many things that require mental effort will undoubtedly become much easier for them in the future.

Moreover, although the Holy Grail has lost its power and no longer possesses the authority of a queen, Hiriote's body still has enormous potential.

Because after being healed, she became a semi-spirited "pseudo-spirit," and the shattered Holy Grail was not her true form, but merely existed as her "energy center"...

This means that she has become a raw material waiting to be developed, not only able to master new blood energy, but also able to use new supernatural artifacts as her own body, becoming a true artifact spirit.

Having roughly grasped the truth of the matter, the blonde girl breathed a sigh of relief, pouting awkwardly.

"...They've actually become one with little Shirley from now on..."

Clearly, it is Lingxi who is speaking now.

"Wait, little cutie! Is this a stable state for us? Will there come a day when our consciousness will eventually dissipate?"

...

Ludwig ended her examination of her body and decisively shook her head.

"No. Let me explain briefly."

“I just checked again. In fact, Lingxi is indeed dead. Although it’s disrespectful to say this to the ‘real person’... Lingxi, your essence is another personality that was differentiated from the obsession of your mother, Queen Siriot.”

"Shortly before she fell into slumber, she learned of Lingxi's death, and in her immense grief, she could never forget Lingxi. During the decades she slept in the Eternal Pure Land, her longing and obsession accumulated without any outlet, gradually 'imprinting' all the impressions of Lingxi in her memory, fantasizing that Lingxi was still alive and still accompanying her. In the end, these accumulated obsessions, with the completion of the fragments of memory in the Holy Grail, formed you... 'Lingxi'."

Lingxi was shocked: "I am... Little Hilly's...personality?!"

Ludwig remained silent for a moment.

"After thinking about it carefully, I realized that's not quite right. Although the fragments of the Holy Grail couldn't give you a sense of self, and it was the Queen Mother's longing for you that brought you into being, most of your memories still come from the fragments of consciousness within the Holy Grail. The Queen Mother's impression of you only formed your 'personality'."

"In other words, you are the Spirit Abode in her mind now. And your memories come from fragments of the true Spirit Abode's consciousness; because the Spirit Abode's consciousness was completely integrated with the Queen Mother's origin, she was able to form and differentiate you as a 'personality'. You and Siriot were originally one."

Ye Liuli, standing to the side, understood:

"Oh, so this Lingxi doesn't seem so evil or bad after all. After all, Little Xili can only see the good in Lingxi, and Little Xili was already sick when Lingxi completely fell into depravity."

Ludwig shrugged:

"Yes, and because of the Holy Grail's shattering, she lost a lot of memories. In video game terms, Lingxi is now like she's been 'rolled back'. But she still remembers me, remembers how she died, and remembers many important things... It's better than forgetting everything."

...

Lingxi listened to their explanation in a daze, then smiled happily.

"Ah...I see..."

Ludwig said, "So, you'll probably have to stay with her forever. The Holy Grail fragment is firmly embedded in her essence, and there's no way to separate you from this body..."

Lingxi shook her head.

"No need. What's the point of separating?"

She raised her hands, hugged herself tightly, and closed her eyes.

eye.

"Now, I can understand her heart. From now on, I can empathize with her and share her joys and sorrows."

“I have been ‘resurrected’ in this form because of her longing for me, which further proves our eternal covenant, which will never be betrayed by anyone.”

"Most importantly, we will never be apart again."

Lingxi smiled and closed her eyes.

"Being able to meet her again is the best ending for me..."

"Aren't you right, my little Shirley?"

hum-

Her blonde hair quickly turned silver, and then she blushed and puffed out her cheeks.

"What are you all saying! You idiot Lingxi! It's so embarrassing—"

"Oh dear—my decades-long fantasy about Lingxi has been exposed! I... I'm so ashamed!"

"Lingxi, come out quickly and let me go back!"

She plunged back into the coffin.

"What are you laughing at! You idiot Lingxi! I'd rather be dead!"

Thump thump thump—

The silver-haired girl twisted and turned in the coffin, her face as red as burning coals, and she spoke incoherently.

...

...

...

"It seems she's still quite energetic, that's great."

Ludwig said with a smile.

Ye Liuli was speechless, looking like she wanted to complain but had nowhere to vent.

"Is this considered a successful conclusion?"

Ludwig chuckled softly, "Hehe, the road ahead is still long..."

"I guess we can only say... it's come to an end..."

Pfft!

Ludwig's voice grew fainter and fainter, and then she swayed and collapsed.

Ye Liuli quickly hugged her, and upon closer inspection, she found that she had already fallen into a deep sleep.

"..."

"...Thank you for your hard work, our Eternal Night Queen."

"In my opinion, you are already capable of taking on this great responsibility."

Di-

Di-

beep beep-

Dr. Zhou removed the earpiece connected to the testing equipment and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Your blood pressure, heart rate, and other parameters are all normal, and energy flow is also stabilizing. However, due to prolonged paralysis, your body has experienced muscle atrophy, and you need to prepare for long-term rehabilitation training."

"As for your psychological state...forgive my bluntness, but with the current state of medicine, we cannot explain your situation, which goes far beyond the category of 'split personality.' Although it seems like two souls reside within you, there is only one 'consciousness.' In my opinion, it would be best if you and Her Majesty the Princess did not control the body at the same time."

Hilliott sat in her wheelchair and listened quietly to Dr. Zhou's diagnosis.

She smiled and nodded.

"Hmm...what a considerate doctor. Thank you. I will follow your doctor's orders."

The other blood healers rushed to her, knelt down, and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Queen Hilliot!"

"Your Majesty! You...you're finally back!"

"Your efforts over the years have not been in vain!"

"Under Dr. Zhou's guidance, we...we have finally brought you—"
