The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 131

...

Ludwig raised her hand, looking at her slender and unfamiliar fingers.

She was already able to use this body with ease, even though she had only been its master for a few days.

"Coco, today in the throne room, I played Ludwig. Was there anything that wasn't quite right...?"

"Or rather, 'being exposed'?"

Chapter 141 Trading

A few days ago, in the Eternal Pure Land.

...

“This is a deal, Your Majesty.”

Two silver-haired girls, who looked like twin sisters, were talking quietly in the secluded and silent mourning hall.

Although Ludwig appeared older and taller than the wheelchair-bound queen, she was actually a member of her household and only a fraction of her age.

This counterintuitive fact is always quite dramatic whenever it is mentioned.

Ludwig ran her fingers lightly across the blade, a flash of cold light catching Siriot's eye.

"You wouldn't want your precious queenly power to dissipate with your death, only to be inherited by some lucky vampire, leading to even more serious consequences, would you?"

"Why don't you... accept my suggestion and give it to me?"

The vampire heiress's eyes glowed faintly in the darkness.

"I will become the new queen in your stead, and exercise the queen's power on your behalf... to avenge your beloved."

...

Despite her exhaustion, the vampire queen was fully aware of this blatant attempt to force abdicate and usurp power.

She was already mentally prepared for this the moment she learned that Ludwig was one of her kin.

But right now, he doesn't even have any leverage to negotiate with Ludwig.

After all, as the queen herself, she was so weak that she could no longer control her royal power to govern the consciousness of the vampires. It was utterly absurd for her collapsing body to resist the girl in front of her.

"..."

After a long silence, she finally spoke softly.

"Since...you call it...a transaction..."

"Ahem. What... do you want?"

...

Ludwig smiled slightly.

"Of course—it's about letting you leave this place in my healthy vampire body, and in the name of 'Queen Ludwig,' to obtain all the power of 'Queen Hilliot' and become the new queen."

"After all, you are Her Majesty the Queen for a thousand years. In terms of how to consolidate power, I am far inferior to you."

"With my body, you can personally return to the castle and, according to the will left by 'Kane,' find the door that can use that key... thus successfully unraveling the mystery and ending this thousand-year-old regret in your heart. Perhaps, the secret of my origins can also be solved at the same time?"

Upon hearing this, Hilliot looked visibly shocked.

Knowing that she couldn't refuse such a condition, Ludwig continued:

"I haven't finished yet."

"As long as you can ensure my secure seat on the throne... I will avenge those who murdered Lingxi on your behalf, and ensure the vampire clan stands tall in the world—"

"This is something you cannot do."

...

Ludwig hit her sore spot directly.

Ludwig was right. Hiriote's greatest weakness was that, having awakened after hundreds of years, she was severely out of touch with this world. Even though she could manage the vampires effectively and keep them obedient, as an ancient monster who had "traveled" to the modern era, she remained completely lost in this rapidly changing world.

This is precisely why she has entrusted foreign affairs to Princess Lingxi over the past few years.

Just as Ludwig had predicted, "vampires" and "revenge" were precisely the things this dying vampire queen could never let go of.

Seeing that the vampire queen was beginning to waver, Ludwig played her final trump card—

"Your Majesty...hehe, I actually know your difficulties."

"You have lived for over a thousand years, and the burden of being queen has now crushed you; it is no longer a weight you can bear..."

"If we can hand over the vampires to a suitable person, I'm sure you can finally put your mind at ease and let go of your worries?"

"To wear the crown, one must..."

I will bear its weight. I am prepared for this.

Ludwig took her hand and knelt before her.

Their two blood-red pupils stared intently at each other.

"I will avenge Lingxi and ensure that the vampires will no longer have to worry about whether they can see the moonlight on a bright night."

"Make all those who despise us pay a bloody price."

Ludwig said solemnly.

"Would you be willing to entrust everything to me?"

...

...

"Humph..."

The vampire queen smiled, and it seemed that she had used all her strength just to make that expression.

She placed her other hand on Ludwig's hand, and her hands gently and softly held Ludwig's palm.

"As expected of... a familiar who inherited my blood."

"Propose...a body swap..."

"In essence, they want to use my body as a hostage... to prevent me from going back on my word."

The Queen had already guessed her little scheme, but she didn't mind.

"As you wish..."

"From now on, I'm entrusting my care to you..."

Hiriote never imagined that one day she would be "forced" to willingly relinquish the throne of the vampire queen...

Perhaps, she was truly exhausted.

What is the point of living alone in this world after losing a loved one?

Perhaps, the only meaning is to settle all the unfinished ties in this world—

Only then can I peacefully follow in her footsteps to the underworld, reunite with her, and bid farewell to this world.

"Alright, listen to me... Ludwig."

"Heliot said gently."

"The technique of transferring soul and blood energy must not be botched..."

"Otherwise, we will both... perish completely."

...

...

Ludwig had certainly heard of these forbidden techniques, which was why she had taken out the umbrella sword earlier, intending to bleed herself.

This is to provide enough energy for Hiriote, establish a circulation channel between the two, and complete the "exchange".

Swah——

A red bond forged in blood connected the two bodies.

Ludwig's soul was the first to be drawn out of her body; her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

The blood energy had deeply merged with her soul, and together they entered the weakened queen's body.

"Cough cough!"

The queen coughed violently, and what emerged from her body was not a translucent soul, but a pitch-black dark energy body.

As Ye Liuli had said before, she was a special vampire without a soul; the queen's soul had long been devoured by pure dark energy. This "thing" was her own will.

Their "souls" had now entered each other's bodies, and the bond forged in blood had vanished, scattering across the ground.

...

...

...

"hiss..."

Ludwig, who was on the ground, was the first to wake up and slowly stood up.

"Um..."

"It's been so long...the feeling of being able to move my body freely."

"The line of sight is also much higher than before."

She looked at the still unconscious "Hilriot" in front of her, and from someone else's perspective, she looked so small and so...weak.

"..."

"Hmm, this body is indeed very compatible with 'me'."

Ludwig closed her eyes and felt the flow of energy.

“女

Wang Quan has already merged with my original essence; it will take some time to separate it and integrate it into this body...

"However, it doesn't matter."

Her eyes, as always, shone with a blood-red hue.

"I will make this body the new queen, just like I once was."

She turned around, gracefully pushed open the door, and left the mourning hall.

"To become the vampire queen once again..."

"Hmph, what's so difficult about it?"

The girl, bathed in starlight, sighed softly.

"Lingxi, let's meet again in hell after everything is over. Wait for me."

She gave a poignant smile.

"I cannot live or die with you..."

"I only wish to lie here with you forever."

Chapter 142 is just right

And so, now.

Mona Castle, the Great Bath.

...

"Your Majesty Ludwig, to be honest..."

Coco hesitated for a moment, as if wondering if speaking out would be offensive.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Ludwig" said with a smile.

...

If Coco obeys, she will say, "...Yes. To be honest, your acting is really terrible."
