Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

Are you worried that I won’t be able to get married?

How could this gentle, kindhearted, naturally beautiful, and intelligent young lady not be able to get married? That idiot Lor must have been favored by the goddess of luck to have met this young lady!

But... I always feel like there's someone missing here...

By the way, where are Lor’s family?

By the way, does that guy have any family?

Isabella tilted her head and thought for a moment, realizing that she had never heard Lor talk about his family, nor had she seen him write letters or send money back home.

Could it be that……

"It's okay. From now on, I have a family." At this moment, Lor suddenly turned his head and said gently, as if he could see through Isabella's thoughts, "Besides, there will be more family in the future."

"Who, who wants to create more family members with you!"

Isabella's pretty face turned red and she quietly stepped on Lor's foot.

...So happy.

Is a being like me truly worthy of this kind of happiness... No, why would I even think this way? I'm gentle and kind, naturally beautiful, and incredibly intelligent. Isn't it natural for me to find happiness?

Isabella in her dream couldn't help but feel confused.

I always feel like I have forgotten something important.

She looked at Captain Roninna, who was in charge of presiding over the wedding, hesitated for a moment, and asked:

"Well...it's getting late, isn't the wedding about to start?"

"Not yet." Captain Rhonina smiled and shook her head. "An important guest hasn't arrived yet. We have to wait for her."

"Important guests?" Isabella frowned slightly.

Humph, she actually made me wait for her on my wedding day. This so-called "important guest" is quite arrogant... I want to see what kind of person she is!

...Time passes by little by little.

Outside the window, day turns to night, then turns to day again, over and over again.

In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed.

Isabella suddenly realized.

She realized that the flowers she was holding were about to wither completely... And beside her, Lor seemed to have aged a lot, with some white hairs on his temples...

"No, we can't wait any longer!"

She looked around anxiously and found that it was not only Lor who had aged, but everyone present had also aged... The only one who had not changed was herself.

"Isn't the wedding starting yet?"

"Not yet," Captain Rhonina said again, "The important guests haven't arrived yet."

"I don't care! It's her fault for being so late. We can't let her delay the wedding!" Isabella was anxious and hurriedly held Lor's hand. "Isn't it just exchanging rings and saying 'I do'? Even if there's no one to officiate, we can still do it ourselves! Don't you agree, Lor?"

However, Lor on the side did not react at all.

It was as if he suddenly turned into a statue, motionless!

Isabella was startled, and then she realized that she was just like him, completely unable to move...

The feeling of uneasiness grew stronger.

Something that she had forgotten and didn't want to think about gradually emerged in her mind.

...Another amount of time passed.

Day and night cycle, and the seasons pass.

Weeds grew taller in the cracks of the church floor, blooming in the spring, withering in the fall, and then being buried by the snow that blew in through the church doors in the winter.

Everyone died, including Lor.

All turned to dry bones.

Only Isabella remained alive.

"Oh, I remember now..." she murmured, with dried tears on her face, "I'm a 'monster' who can't get sick or age... A monster like me shouldn't be happy..."

Just then, clear footsteps were heard behind me.

And, cold words:

"You finally remembered, Isabella.

"You are a vampire, created by my own hands, a powerful and eternal vampire... To you, the lives of mortals are too insignificant, no different from those fleeting flowers.

"So, the 'happiness' that ordinary people pursue is nothing more than a fleeting dream for you."

At some point, Isabella was able to move again.

She turned around.

Sure enough, I saw the woman with pale skin, a beautiful and melancholy face, and a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye... She walked barefoot, and her ankle-length black hair brushed against the weeds on the ground, making a rustling sound.

True Ancestor Lilith!

Just looking at her would make Isabella feel a strong sense of panic.

She didn't avert her gaze, though.

...There's nothing to be afraid of. After all, it's just a dream.

"I want to thank you. If you hadn't turned me into a vampire, I wouldn't have lived to this day and met Lor."

Isabella took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and said:

"But, that's enough! From now on, I want to be an ordinary girl, accompany Luo Er and find happiness with him! Even if it's only for a short time, only a few decades at most, it's enough!"

Get married, have children, spend your life happily together, and grow old together.

This is the happiness of ordinary people.

Even if it is short, it is better than long loneliness.

I……

After all, I still want to become a "human" again.

"You have such thoughts because you haven't yet broken free from the inherent human way of thinking." True Ancestor Lilith shook her head slightly. "But it doesn't matter. Time changes everything, including thoughts... You are now a near-eternal existence. Sooner or later, you will thank me."

"Hmph, what do you mean by near eternity? I don't care!" Isabella said angrily.

"Well," True Ancestor Lilith said with a slight smile, "Come to me, my child...if you have truly made up your mind."

"Okay, you said it yourself!" Isabella gritted her teeth and replied solemnly, "Just wait, I'll find you sooner or later!"

True Ancestor Lilith turned around and prepared to leave:

"Then you better hurry. After all, the 'happiness' you seek is very fleeting... If you delay too long, it will slip through your fingers if you're not careful."

…As the voices gradually faded away, the dream began to fall apart.

Isabella opened her eyes, her breathing becoming a little rapid.

She sat up and took a long time to calm herself down.

Was what I just experienced really a dream? I feel like the "True Ancestor Lilith" that appeared in my dream is incredibly real... It's as if I've actually met her face to face...

"Don't be afraid, Isabella."

She hugged her knees, a certain determination flickering in her dark red eyes.

"Wasn't this already decided long ago... And I know the method..."

The power of the vampires, in the final analysis, comes from the True Ancestor Lilith.

That transcendent being is the embodiment of the root of "blood of the True Ancestor."

That is to say...

As long as the True Ancestor Lilith is "killed", the source of power for all vampires in the world can be cut off!

"Then I'll be able to transform from a 'monster' back into a 'human'." Isabella muttered to herself, "It's simple. I just need to become stronger, strong enough to rival the True Ancestor Lilith, and then defeat her, that's all!"

...Wait for me for a while, Lor.

I promise, it won't take too long.

Ask for leave and add stage summary

Take a day off, take a short break, and organize and plan the subsequent plot.

The final content of the second volume is actually slightly different from what I originally envisioned, mainly in terms of the protagonist's upgrade progress.

I had originally intended to have Lor reach level three in this volume, but as I was writing, I felt that this arrangement was too rushed, so it would be better to put it in the next volume.

Although various things happened one after another, from attending the auction to buying a house and moving, the second "tea party", and then taking Meimei home, going to the dragon ruins to grab treasure... It felt like I had experienced a lot, but strictly speaking, it was actually only a few days.

I don’t know what you all feel after reading it. Do you think the plot is too dense?

In the next volume, I might slow down the pace of events a bit and devote more space to the emotional development of Lor and Isabella.

Next, let’s talk about the performance of this book.

To be honest, the data when this book was first put on the shelves can be described as "tragic", with 3,000 collections and an average of 300 orders on the first day, which is the result that most authors would cut the book on the spot.

It was everyone’s support and encouragement that kept me going.

Fortunately, things gradually improved afterwards. The monthly tickets and rewards were quite a lot, and the follow-up rate seemed to be good. After several rounds of recommendations, the average subscription exceeded one thousand... Although there is still a big gap compared with the big guys, Maomao is already very happy.

thanks for your support!

In the future, Maomao will rack his brains to write more exciting stories with guaranteed quality and quantity!

Meow!

Volume Three

1. Live towards death

Tonight is a full moon.

There is an easel on the terrace of the castle.

The young man dressed as an aristocrat held a brush in his hand and stared silently at the unfinished painting. Then he suddenly shook his head and threw the brush away.

It's like I don't know how to start.

Then he picked up a glass of red wine from the table next to him and shook it gently a few times to let the aroma of the wine come out.

"Pomegranate, raspberry, lemon, jasmine..." He used his superhuman senses to carefully distinguish the complex aromas of the wine. "A hint of tobacco, and... the scent of southern soil. Not bad, it matches the moonlight very well."

He tilted his head back slightly and drank the red wine in the glass.

"Count Kemal had great taste, and his cellar contained many fine wines." The young man nodded with satisfaction. "It's a pity that the count knew nothing about wine during his lifetime... His son did know a little, but unfortunately, he died young... The family bloodline is cut short, which is truly sad."

In that case, let me inherit the title of "Duke Kemal".

I will enjoy the wine on your behalf.

As he thought this, the young man's appearance gradually changed.

Throw away the disguise and reveal your true face.

His facial features were handsome and three-dimensional, his light brown hair was slightly curly, and his light green eyes were faintly fluorescent... His overall temperament was slightly feminine, yet with a bit of beast-like ferocity.

Also, he has a pair of long, sharp fangs in his mouth.

Bloodlines.

For him, who was proficient in disguise and illusion, it was easy for him to pretend to be the son of the late Count Kemal and inherit the noble title, as well as the vast territory and property.

After all, he has lived for too long and has done similar things many times.

"Well, this castle is quite comfortable to live in, and the surrounding environment is nice too... I'll spend the next few decades as an 'Earl,'" the young vampire muttered to himself. "After all, I still have a 'dependent' with me. I have to be responsible for her future life, so I can't be too willful."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone walked onto the terrace with light and steady steps.

The visitor was a young woman dressed as a deacon.
