Volume 2 Chapter 47
47. The Vampire Princess
Xia Yi and Xia Lulu set off with the dragon race’s delegation, leaving the Dragon Kingdom.
Xia Yi glanced over.
Xia Lulu, as always, dressed up for the occasion…
Especially her chest, so much padding.
Despite being flat as a board, she still pretends. Does she care so much about her image?
At least in terms of chest size, I’m stronger.
Win!
Xia Lulu felt Xia Yi’s gaze and glanced back at her daughter.
“Do you have something to say?” she asked.
“Not at all.”
Xia Yi quickly averted her gaze, placing her hands on her knees.
Super well-behaved.
She wouldn’t dare bring up this topic in front of Xia Lulu, who knows how she would be fixed up, she could only mock the steel plate loli in her heart, what a pity!
“While we still have time, let me ask, how much do you know about the vampires?” Xia Lulu asked.
“Vampires? A bunch of stinky bats!”
Xia Yi blurted out, recalling her experience of being bitten.
“Good, very good!”
Xia Lulu was satisfied with Xia Yi’s view.
“The vampires are nothing but stinky bats that have become spirits, only daring to hide in the night, relying on darkness. Without the protection of darkness, they are nothing.”
Wow, Xia Lulu’s assessment is really unsparing.
Xia Yi thought to herself.
But it’s normal, the dragons are a proud superior race, looking down on everyone.
That’s why everyone dislikes the dragons.
But they can’t beat them.
The dragons especially enjoy this, knowing you dislike them but can do nothing about it.
“The Crimson Empire’s internal hierarchy is particularly rigid, power is almost entirely in the hands of the top-tier pyramid structure of nobles. Without a prominent surname, no matter how capable, you’re just a tool for the noble class. Those stinky bats value lineage and background greatly. Their invitation for us to the Crimson Empire is a suggestion from the nobles to the Blood King.”
“Do the vampire nobles have a motive?”
“The vampires had a good relationship with our dragon race in the ancient times, at the beginning of the ancient Dragon Wars, they were even allies of the dragon race.”
“I know that!” Xia Yi interjected, “But facing the pressure of all races in the world, the vampires couldn’t withstand like the dragons, so they abandoned their ally status and chose to join the opposing camp of the dragon race!”
“Yes, truly fickle. Perhaps because they were once allies, the nobles in the Crimson Empire want to retest our dragon race’s attitude.”
“That’s too shameless!”
“Never overestimate their shame. In the face of interests, shame is secondary. The vampire nobles have a keen sense of smell, wanting to replicate the operations of the ancient times, first contacting our dragon race, then alerting the other races of the world, afterwards they can jump left and right, raising their own value, seeking more benefits.”
“…Then why are you still going to the Crimson Empire?”
Xia Lulu mysteriously said, “The vampires have a loud plan, but they overlooked one thing, that is, the ruler of the Dragon Kingdom is me. These stinky bats naively think I will give them face.”
“But, you still accepted the invitation and came…”
“Enjoy the trip to the Crimson Empire, my daughter.”
Xia Lulu was being mysterious, even pinching her daughter’s cheek.
…
Xia Yi and Xia Lulu, along with the dragon race’s delegation, arrived at the Crimson Empire.
The Crimson Empire is really different from the Dragon Kingdom.
Just the decoration and style of the palace reveal a weird and gloomy feeling, looking like a giant tomb, and arriving at night makes this feeling even stronger.
However, the number of people in the Blood Palace is much more than in the dragon’s.
Most are not pure vampires, but blood servants.
Vampires only pass on their lineage to the first embrace, allowing them to obtain their own bloodline, becoming dependents, inheriting the surname.
Blood servants are not in this category, being forcibly transformed after being bitten by vampires, but only to a mixed-blood state, becoming slaves, usually providing services to vampires, and also serving as blood bags.
In short, they are the pitiful tools that do not receive the true inheritance of vampires.
“Silver Dragon Queen, welcome to our Crimson Empire from the Dragon Kingdom.”
Xia Yi saw a tall and burly middle-aged man, dressed in a crimson emperor’s robe, leading many vampire nobles to greet Xia Lulu.
This is Herman Borgias, the current Blood King ruling the Crimson Empire.
“How could I refuse the Blood King’s gracious invitation?” Xia Lulu replied.
“Dragons and vampires, we’ve waited too long for this day! In ancient times, we had established a friendly relationship.”
“Yes, it’s just a pity that the years have changed, and our friendship between the two races has faded unknowingly.”
Xia Lulu and Herman chatted and laughed.
Even though these two had never met before, they talked as if they were old friends meeting after many years.
“Who is this…”
Herman’s gaze fell on Xia Yi.
“So this is the Silver Dragon Queen’s daughter, indeed, as the rumors say, a perfect princess.” Herman exclaimed.
Xia Yi glanced at Xia Lulu, feeling a bit proud.
See, Xia Lulu, as long as I want to, I can be perfect.
Aren’t I amazing!
“Come, Silver Dragon Queen, follow me into the palace. This time I have also prepared a gift for your dragon race.”
“That’s too kind!”
“No, please accept it, it’s a proof of our friendship…”
Herman continued to chat with Xia Lulu.
Xia Yi followed behind, entering the Blood Palace.
During the interval, a vampire noble quietly asked a servant, “Where did the Princess go? Didn’t anyone inform her that the dragons would be coming today?”
On such an important occasion, the Vampire Princess didn’t show up.
This made the nobles very displeased.
“Sir, we have already informed the princess.” The servants replied.
“Then why hasn’t she appeared.”
“This…”
The servant was very troubled and couldn’t give a reason.
At this, the noble grandfathers had an idea.
The Vampire Princess is very willful, having reached the point of being capricious, relying on her father being the Blood King, spoiled to the extreme, completely undisciplined.
Just a pretty vase, and she dares to be so presumptuous?
“The Princess is too willful.”
“Do we need to find the Princess?” The servant asked timidly.
“Let it be, just like this.”
The noble thought for a moment, it’s better to say the Vampire Princess didn’t come, what if she messed up today’s event?
Better to stay in her room, causing less trouble.
…
Bored.
This was Xia Yi’s thought.
If it’s about playing a perfect dragon princess in front of others, there’s no problem, she can do it.
Moreover, this diplomatic visit to the Crimson Empire, she is not the main character, Xia Lulu is.
Xia Yi is just there to complement, the main character is Xia Lulu, she just needs to mess around on the side and that’s it.
Now…
Xia Lulu and Herman walked shoulder to shoulder, continuing their conversation, maintaining a harmonious atmosphere.
As if the dragon race was really familiar with the vampires.
All the way, Xia Yi was observing the Blood Palace, looking for some interesting things.
Xia Lulu saw through her daughter’s thoughts, let her own diplomatic envoys deal with Herman for a while, and came over to ask in a low voice, “Want to go play?”
“Eh? No, I’m not that playful, I won’t cause trouble…”
“Stop pretending, I can see through your thoughts.”
“Um…”
Xia Yi was a bit embarrassed.
But then, Xia Lulu gave an unexpected response.
“Go play.”
“Eh?” Xia Yi was stunned.
Xia Lulu smiled slightly, showing a hint of slyness.
“Just play, as long as the vampires don’t find you.”
Xia Yi narrowed her eyes.
Because there was clearly more to Xia Lulu’s words.
So naughty.
Immediately, the little princess understood Xia Lulu’s plan.
In terms of being naughty, she actually agreed with her own arch-enemy.
“You said it, if I accidentally cause trouble later, don’t blame me…”
“Of course.” Xia Lulu nodded.
“Ehehe~ Then I’m off~”
After getting permission, Xia Yi’s spirits immediately lifted.
She deliberately slowed down her pace, first pretending to be curious, stopping at some places, and then falling behind, catching up in several waves.
Everyone’s attention was on Xia Lulu, she attracted most of the attention, and Xia Yi was left behind alone.
“Silver Dragon Princess, do you need any help?” A vampire servant came forward and asked the lone Xia Yi.
“I… want to wash my hands.” Xia Yi said, lowering her head with some embarrassment.
The Blood Palace attendant immediately understood, “Silver Dragon Princess, please follow me.”
“Okay!”
Xia Yi followed the attendant.
The attendant began to lead the way to the nearest restroom in the palace, and when they reached a corridor with fewer people, Xia Yi raised her hand and silently summoned the Rose Staff in her heart.
Sleep Magic!
Thud!
Xia Yi swung the Rose Staff, hitting the attendant, controlling the force just right to knock the attendant out.
Then, she pushed the attendant into the bushes and hid him.
“Hmm hmm hmm, the adventure begins!”
…
In the center of a garden surrounded by roses, there was a coffin that stood out from the rest, very luxurious in style, inlaid with jewels, not looking like it was for burying a body.
The moonlight was bright, and a full moon hung high in the night sky.
As if on cue, some cute little creatures emerged from all directions.
They looked like black dumplings, with only one big eye, comical and interesting, flapping wings like bats, flying to the side of the coffin, working together to lift the lid, allowing the moonlight to pour into the coffin.
A petite girl was sleeping in the coffin, wearing a white nightgown adorned with many red bows, looking charming.
The girl’s skin was very pale, with a strong sense of sickness, almost transparent.
Of course, the most eye-catching was her snow-white long hair, as beautiful as moonlight.
“Ugh… don’t want to get up…” The girl’s eyelids moved a few times, and she murmured as if in a dream.
“Squeak squeak squeak!”
The black dumplings made noise.
The girl struggled to sit up, rubbed her eyes, and slowly opened them, revealing ruby-like crimson eyes.
Her name was Miu Miu·Borgias.
She was the Vampire Princess of the Crimson Empire, a member of the Blood King Herman’s family.
And these little creatures around her were Miu Miu’s magical pets.
This coffin was her bed.
For vampires, sleeping in a coffin is a thousand times more comfortable than sleeping in a bed.
“Is it already this late? I thought it was just evening.”
Miu Miu pondered for a moment.
She remembered that someone came to inform her yesterday that there was something very important today.
“Is… is…?”
She tried hard to think.
“Squeak squeak squeak!”
Miu Miu’s magical pets called out, then flew together, forming the shape of a dragon.
“Oh, right, it seems that the dragons from the Dragon Kingdom are visiting the Blood Palace today,” Miu Miu leaned on the side of the coffin, “I don’t want to deal with these boring things, not interested… But I’m a bit curious about the taste of dragon blood.”
Vampires can’t normally taste food, The delicacies of the humans, if tasted after becoming a vampire, would be like chewing wax.
Even the delicious food from before would become nauseating.
But blood is different, tasting fresh blood can satisfy the vampire’s instinctual bloodlust, bringing great pleasure to both body and mind.
The fresh blood of different races is like different types of delicacies for vampires.
Therefore, many vampires are keen on breeding various blood servants to satisfy their desires.
Miu Miu wasn’t interested in breeding exclusive blood servants, she didn’t like to share her bloodline with others, even if it was just a small part for transforming into a Blood Servant.
Mostly, she would just mention it to Shrimp (xiārén, literally shrimp. Maybe Xiaren instead lol), and someone would bring up fresh blood of different races…
A decade or so ago, she did something quite interesting.
That was running away from home, concealing her identity, and going to different places on this land to personally taste the delicious blood of different races.
Of course, she also experienced battles along the way and fought with many guys.
Unfortunately, in the end, she was caught by the Blood King and brought back.
“I really want to try dragon blood, I heard that dragon blood is highly poisonous, absolutely cannot drink too much, but it’s more delicious than any other race’s blood…”
Miu Miu felt a bit regretful.
Originally, she was planning to go to the Dragon Kingdom to try her luck, but alas.
“Squeak squeak squeak!”
Miu Miu’s magical pets held up a vampire princess dress, flying in front of her.
“It’s also time to get up.”
She was about to grab the clothes, but her hand stopped in mid-air, she lifted her eyes, looking outside.
“…Someone’s coming?”
“Squeak squeak squeak?”
“Such a strange scent… interesting.” The Vampire Princess’s lips curled up slightly.
