The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 59

Coco pouted and said, "Miss, are you trying to say that you're not normal to begin with?"

Ludwig smiled but offered no comment.

"Hehe, anyway, I'm fine. Coco doesn't seem to be hurt either."

He glanced at Yin Shang, who was dozing off in a chair in the corner of the room, and combined this with the pass hanging around his neck. With a little thought, her clever mind quickly figured out why this guy was here.

Moreover, it's easy to guess that it was Yin Shang who rescued the two of them. If Coco's memories only spanned about five years, without the support of deep memories, a girl like her, already deeply influenced by the Queen's will, would be unable to maintain her individuality in the face of the Princess's spiritual dominance.

"Coco, call him over. We need to exchange the information we've gathered recently..."

Her words became serious.

"...and, let's examine the truth behind this series of events."

...

"get up!!"

"Oh, what? What?!"

Pfft!

...

Yin Shang looked resentful: "Can't you be a little nicer to your savior?"

Coco snorted, "I went out for a little while and asked you to keep an eye on Miss. She had a nightmare, and you were just dozing off here?"

Ludwig waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, let's talk about serious matters."

...

Considering they belonged to the vampire clan, Yin Shang revealed how he was cursed and how he later became an "outsider" with Ye Liuli's help.

"The Vampire Council is facing a political crisis orchestrated by the Group, and the princess who is suspected of targeting the Vampire Queen has no connection to the Group—that's about all I know."

Ludwig nodded:

"Hmm... In other words, we have two enemies facing us. But as you've seen, there's the unshakeable behemoth that is the corporation, and the elusive Princess..."

Ludwig looked stunned.

"I'm completely out of options, I can't beat them."

Yin Shang said, "So I can't count on you? Never mind, I'll just go to the council by myself—"

Ludwig put her hands on her hips and said, "What are you talking about? The protagonist can't run away at the last minute! Besides, I can't swallow this insult after being beaten up by her without any chance to fight back and having Lochina taken away by her."

Yin Shang always felt exhausted talking to them. He said helplessly, "Then what brilliant idea does this young lady have?"

“It’s very simple,” Ludwig said. “It’s no coincidence that she’s on the only road leading to the castle.”

The silver-haired girl stated her deduction.

"Maybe...she was never missing at all, and was actually working with that...Torre? group of vampire councilors to plot against her and stage a coup!"

"Lochina was probably part of the Princess's important plan, but something went wrong and she escaped. And we, who were with Lochina, just happened to run into the Princess who came out looking for her."

Coco shook her head: "Young Miss, Teacher Torre isn't that kind of person..."

Ludwig said decisively, "I don't think so, Coco."

"With the council under the Princess's control, the council members are actually the most suspicious. Even if Torre wasn't involved, it's hard to guarantee that others weren't acting on her orders. That's why I was unwilling to share intelligence with the council in the first place."

Yin Shang reviewed the intelligence in his mind:

“Torre doesn’t seem like a troublemaker; he even sent me to investigate the Princess. But in any case, the sudden appearance of the Princess, whose identity is unknown, is too suspicious in both time and place. Everything seems to point to that vampire castle.”

Ludwig said, "That's why Coco and I came here specifically to go to the Vampire Council..."

Yin Shang said, "So you're going to back out?"

Ludwig put her hands on her hips and said, "What?! I'm not afraid of her at all! According to the vampire inheritance law, the title of vampire princess has already been given to me. As long as I enter that castle, the Queen won't dare to touch me."

"Besides, I still have Coco."

She smiled and took Ruo Keke's hand.

"Right?"

If Coco nodded:

"Once I'm inside the castle, I'll go get the scythe and the maid's outfit as soon as possible."

Ludwig rolled out of bed and stretched.

"Um... Mr. Yin Shang, we'll have to trouble you to come with us. You said you were also going to the council, right?"

Yin Shang said, "Huh? You trust me, but I trust you too? Although you speak eloquently, this maid is, after all, a member of the council..."

Buzz —

Ludwig vanished in the blink of an eye, only to reappear a moment later, clinging to Yin Shang's neck.

"Hmph. You're not allowed to refuse."

"Hiss... Or do you want me to keep you here in some other way?"

"I remember you were very confident in your fighting abilities. What, are you saying that you can only bully weak women, but you don't even have the confidence to protect them?"

Yin Shang, his face flushed, pushed her away and scrambled out of the room.

"Alright, alright! You just want to find cannon fodder, and you say it so confidently! I'm waiting for you outside!"

Ludwig smiled, pleased with her successful prank.

“It’s so easy to handle.”

...

...

...

Meanwhile, on Group Island.

“Young Master Spear, we have confirmed the identity of the heir to the Vampire Queen, and at the same time, we have also located the Wandering Knight again. He is with the heir to the Queen.”

"Well done, Steward Zhang."

The silver-haired girl's face is clearly visible in the photo, as if it were taken with an extremely high-end telephoto lens.

"The successor of the vampire queen is heavily protected by the vampires and is not easy to harm. This photo was not easy to obtain. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's my duty as a subordinate."

"Yin... cough, the Wandering Knight. A self-proclaimed righteous guy like him won't stay with vampires for long. Heh, when he's alone, that's our chance to strike."

The young CEO sneered and waved his hand.

"Go down and pass on the order. Send the [Minion] over there and find an opportunity... to take out the Wandering Knight."

"Yes, Master."

Chapter 65 As expected

Yin Shang drove his motorcycle, carrying Ludwig and Ruokeke, along the highway to the place where they had last encountered the princess.

To avoid being noticed, the three got off the car here and walked towards the castle.

"To be honest, vampires have many ways to detect other members of their race. If we insist on going there, it's just self-deception."

Ludwig crossed her arms.

Yin Shang said, "But 'Blood Shadow' is everywhere. How do you know they're not watching us?"

Ludwig said, "I sped to the castle gate on my motorcycle, and no matter how many people were watching, it wouldn't matter. They officially made me a 'princess' in black and white, so they wouldn't dare touch me to my face."

Yin Shang glanced at the young lady, whose clothes were always extravagantly worn, and stared at her feet, saying:

"...Your real purpose is just that you're too lazy to walk, right?"

Ludwig stated matter-of-factly, "High heels are also one of my backup weapons. What's wrong with walking less to prevent them from breaking down? It's perfectly reasonable."

"Coco, what are you daydreaming about?"

Ludwig took Coco's hand.

“Let’s go, it’s only a few kilometers, Coco can carry me if necessary.”

...

Yin Shang looked up, caught a wild fruit that fell right in front of him, wiped it with his sleeve, and chewed it with a crunch.

"I'm truly impressed."

"I'd rather eat these terribly sour fruits every day than be around these weirdos. It's like being in prison. Virtual vampires are much more interesting."

He took out his phone and sent a message to Xilulu.

"Hey, are you there? I still can't play with you tonight, I'm canceling."

He typed a message and pressed send.

Ding Dong!

A notification tone for a new message suddenly sounded.

Yin Shang didn't notice at first. But a few seconds later, he realized that the notification sound on his phone wasn't that quiet.

Then he realized that the notification sound was coming from someone in front of him...!

"What? Could it be...?"

Yin Shang's thoughts hadn't even had a chance to expand before Ludwig's shout interrupted him.

Wow! We're here! Is this the one?

She didn't even notice her phone ringing, and dragged Coco ahead. Yin Shang could only focus on the present situation and stop investigating, so he followed.

..

Passing through the last small grove of trees, a castle nestled in the deep shade came into view.

The castle was exactly the same as when they last visited; the only difference was the three of them's mindset.

Ludwig, feeling a slight fear and unease, tried her best to calm herself down.

Coco, what's wrong?

Ludwig leaned closer to Ruokeke and winked.

You seem to have something on your mind.

Coco shook her head: "It's nothing, Miss... I was just thinking, what should I do if I run into Teacher Torre..."

Ludwig smiled and said, "He is your teacher after all, I know. I'll deal with him when the time comes."

She took a deep breath.

"Even if the Queen is here, there's nothing to be afraid of. Let's go!"

Yin Shang sighed, "Hey, wait a minute... at least agree on what to say later... at least have a battle plan!"

Ludwig scoffed, "On someone else's turf, it's better to show real skill than to try to outsmart them. Besides, the battle plan is quite simple—rescue Lochina and demand an explanation for this whole series of events!"

She raised her head slightly, looking directly at the dark abode of the monster that no living person should enter, without any fear on her face.

"To demand the truth, there's no need for beating around the bush. If the Vampire Council was merely colluding to deceive me from the very beginning—"

"Then I wouldn't mind being their enemy."

...

...

...

crunch--

Gaa gaa gaa...

boom!

As expected, the castle gates closed automatically as soon as the three of them stepped into the castle, remaining perfectly still.

“I knew it, they weren’t planning on letting us leave so easily,” Yin Shang said.
