Watching his leaving back, Eve frowned slightly, not knowing how to complain. Could it be that this guy didn't know that she was the one who accidentally smashed the training ground?
Well, he probably doesn’t know, otherwise how would he have the courage to duel with her?
If it weren't for his status as the second son of the clan, it wouldn't have been difficult for Eve to beat him to death before the awakening ceremony.
"Forget it, let's go. I'll show you around the main building."
After a moment's thought, Eve decided to ignore this minor incident and continued to tour the inner castle with Ilvia and Arcana.
"Ok!"

The collection has reached 200. Thank you for your support. There will be more to come. It will be squeezed out tomorrow~
By the way, the "waste of naming" in the previous chapter's title was actually the author himself (laughs)
§ 14 Convincing People with Reason
"Unlike the grandeur of the front, the decorations in the inner castle emphasize history. Don't underestimate the surrounding decorations; most of them are very old, and the rest are gifts from other races."
As she led the two of them inside the main building, Eve explained to Ilvia and Arcana.
The front and back halves of the Blood Clan Palace were designed in very different styles. If the front half was designed to allow ordinary people to see at a glance that it was unusual, then the back half, since the visitors were all distinguished guests such as the patriarchs of the Blood Clan clans and the patriarchs of other races, the inner castle emphasized the long history of the Blood Clan.
At the same time, since there are important facilities such as libraries and treasure houses here, there are various peepholes and secret passages inside the main building to facilitate defense.
Of course, there is surveillance magic in the main building, but sometimes some physical means are easily overlooked.
For example, although it is basically impossible, if someone successfully invades here, he will relax after destroying the surveillance magic, but his every move will be seen clearly by the maid hiding behind the peephole.
However, Eve felt that this design was a bit mediocre. After all, if the other party really had the ability to break into the inner castle of the vampire palace, these would probably be of no use. She couldn't figure out what the designer was thinking.
"Up on the right is my bedroom, and on the left is the study, which is where my mother works."
As she spoke, Eve turned the corner and prepared to go to the study to see her mother, and to confirm whether it was the Smiling Tiger Clan leader who came to visit.
squeak
Hearing the sound of the study door opening not far away, Eve hurriedly pulled the two people behind her back to hide in the corner, only poking her head out to look at the study door.
"Owner?"
"Shhh."
After holding down Arcana who was about to ask a question, Eve spoke through telepathy.
"I'll explain it to you later."
After saying that, Eve continued to stare at the door of the study, and when she saw a man walking out from inside, she couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
"It's this guy, after all. I knew it when I saw that idiot Emrick."
"Master, who is he?"
"The father of that idiot outside just now, Charles, is a smiling tiger. He is a member of the clans that suspects that I am a human warrior."
"Eh? Isn't it just one clan that doubts the master's identity?"
"To be precise, every clan has some suspicions. After all, even though it's kept secret, it can't be hidden from these old-timers who have lived for who knows how long. Most of them just choose to ignore it. As for those who jumped out, they are the ones who ostensibly use the name of racism."
"Because the master was a human before?"
"Yeah. Originally, Emrik wasn't the only one who would say that to me, but after I followed my mother's advice and took turns beating up those guys, Emrik was the only one who still persevered."
Eve couldn't help but smile as she recalled the time when she went to find Elizabeth.
At that time, she had not recovered her memory, so she thought she had always been a vampire princess. However, she was pointed at and called an inferior species. The other party's identity was the second son, second daughter, or eldest son of a collateral branch of the clan. Taking her own identity into consideration, she was worried that her actions would affect the relationship between the royal family and the forces behind them. Therefore, Eve could only endure it silently.
As for cursing back? Because she hadn't recovered her memory at that time and had received a good education, Eve had no idea how to curse at them. Facing their ridicule, she could only blush with anger.
One night, after Eve described her experience to Elizabeth, she gave her a very simple and easy solution - if they dare to say that to you again, you should beat them until they can't speak. You only need to be responsible for beating them, and your mother will take care of the rest.
So on the second day, four critically ill patients arrived at the infirmary in the Blood Clan Palace, and of course they were dragged in by the unharmed Eve.
Well, thanks to the vampires' powerful recovery ability, this is one of the rare times since the infirmary was established that it has been put to good use for the clan.
As for the turmoil that followed, it was indeed just as Elizabeth said, it was completely suppressed by her, and even unexpectedly made Eve popular with some people.
After all, at such a young age, she fought against four people alone and seriously injured all the opponents without getting hurt herself. This was before she even participated in the awakening ceremony. With such a vampire princess, there is no need to worry about the prosperity of the vampire clan.
After this incident, Emrik was the only one who dared to provoke her in front of her. As for the others, they were like mice seeing a cat when they saw her, and they wanted to hide away.
Of course, Eve, the only troublemaker, was beaten as usual. If the training ground had not just been blown up by her, she would have been beaten up.
"But then again, that guy seems very confident this time."
Eve frowned slightly thinking back to how Emrik looked just now.
Obviously, the previous times she gave the impression that she was just pretending to be fearless to provoke her, but this time Emrik looked very confident, as if he really thought he could defeat her.
Before the awakening ceremony, the whole infirmary would be seriously injured by her single-handed spinning friction, but after she awakened the weapon spirit, he felt that he could win.
If he hadn't brought his brain with him when he went out today, then he must have encountered something that caused his strength to grow rapidly.
What? He usually seems to be clueless? This makes it hard to judge.
"But if it's an inheritance or something, how can it be his turn to obtain it?"
After all, Emrik is the second son, and his brain is not very good. His importance in the family is not too high, otherwise he would not be used to test her. If there is an inheritance that can increase strength, it will never be his turn to obtain it.
"Well... never mind. I'll probably find out when I have time to beat him up."
It turns out that if your opponent is stupid enough, he can sometimes confuse you, sure.
Seeing Charles leaving the main building from the other side, Eve pulled the two people around her and ran to the door of the study.
tuk tuk tuk
"Mother?"
"Hmm? Eve, come in."
Pushing open the door of the study, Elizabeth was reviewing documents behind the desk.
"What's wrong? Why didn't you take Arcana and the others to the three-person time and instead came to see Mother?"
Elizabeth teased as she watched Eve holding Ilvia and Arcana in each hand.
"I was taking them for a stroll around the inner castle when I ran into an unexpected guest. Mother, would you like to guess who it is?"
"Emric?"
When Elizabeth heard Eve say this, she immediately understood.
"Yes, I ran into that guy in the courtyard. He was still so persistent in calling me an inferior species. I guess he was right. But I don't know what's wrong this time. He actually took the initiative to challenge me."
"Eh?"
Even though Elizabeth was knowledgeable and experienced, she was still a little surprised when she heard this. She knew Emrik, of course. He was no match for her daughter before Eve participated in the Awakening Ceremony. Now after the Awakening Ceremony, he dared to challenge her?
If he wasn't just itching to play, then it was because he got some trump cards from somewhere, which at least made him feel that he could compete with Eve.
"So I thought I'd ask my mother if she had any ideas. After all, given his status, it's not his turn to get such a good thing, unless..."
"An unexpected encounter, or perhaps an experimental subject."
Before Eve could express her speculation, Elizabeth took over.
"Yes, that's what I guessed too, so I thought of reminding Mother."
"Okay, I'll have the secret guards investigate secretly, but now..."
Elizabeth glanced at the clock on the wall.
"Would you like to have dinner together? I've already arranged for some non-blood products to be prepared downstairs. Ilvia and Arcana, please come too."
"Great, I'm in for a treat. Viya, Arcana, how about you?"
"With great pleasure, Master."
"Ok!"

The collection has exceeded 200, and I will add one more chapter today~
§ 15 Family Dinner [More Updates Coming]
Since it was just a spur-of-the-moment family dinner, and Eve strongly refused, the four of them did not go to the auditorium restaurant in the front half of the palace, but came to a small restaurant in the main building.
Although the space here is not too big, it is just right for enjoying the view of the inner castle courtyard. At this time, Arcana and Ilvia have already come over to enjoy the night view of the courtyard garden.
Although the small restaurant is rarely used, there is not a speck of dust in the house because a maid comes to clean it every day.
"Hmm...Even after regaining her memory, little Eve still doesn't like to show up in public. She obviously had a lot of such experiences when she was a hero, didn't she?"
Elizabeth said, looking at Eve sitting at the dining table.
Elizabeth's original suggestion was for them to all change into their formal attire and then go to the front hall for dinner, but this was abandoned after Eve herself strongly refused.
"Yes, I've had quite a few, but they weren't good memories. Besides, even if I had a lot of experiences, it doesn't mean I'd like them."
Eve got a headache when she thought about the various banquets she attended as a hero, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to pinch her eyebrows.
All kinds of people with ulterior motives, people who want to take advantage of her, and people who want to poach her appear one after another at the various banquets she attends as a hero. There are even people who want to drug her. Of course, it is not some medicine with strange effects, but poison.
After becoming a vampire princess, she will have to face people who come to build relationships with her at the banquets she attends. In a sense, this group of people is more difficult to deal with than those who say she is an inferior species. After all, you don't hit a smiling person.
For the former, she can directly defeat the opponent physically and send him/her a forced silence package, but for the latter, she can only treat him/her with courtesy.
"And Tina blocked a lot of banquet invitations for me at that time. Thanks to her, I didn't suffer a lot."
"Istina, no wonder you care about her so much."
"Well, Tina is one of the most important people to me, so..."
"Not until you can control your own power."
Before Eve could speak, Elizabeth had already accurately predicted her plan and directly cut off her request to find Istina.
As expected of a mother, she accurately predicted her daughter's thoughts.
"Eh~~~"
Without giving Eve a chance to say anything else, the maids pushed open the door at the perfect moment and brought in one exquisite meal after another.
"Okay, let's eat."
"Viya, Arcana, it's time to eat."
Seeing this, Eve gave up the idea of continuing to grind and turned around to call the two weapon elves who were lying by the window admiring the view of the atrium.
On the table, Elizabeth was served blood products, while the two weapon elves were served a variety of delicacies from various races and species. As for Eve? She ate from both.
Since there were no outsiders, the atmosphere at the table was very relaxed. Elizabeth held a goblet in her hand and looked at Eve, who was being fed by two weapon elves, with a smile on her face.
The incident started when Akana picked up a piece of stew and fed it directly to Eve.
"Come, Master, ah..."
"Aww."
As a result, seeing Arcana's actions, before Eve could swallow the stew in her mouth, Ilvia on the side also took a piece of dish. Although she still didn't say anything, under her silent gaze, Eve had to force herself to swallow the stew in her mouth and eat the dish handed to her by Ilvia.
Eve then fell into an endless feeding cycle, being fed continuously by Arcana and Ilvia as if they were competing with her.
Eve, who was finally fed to the point of being unable to bear it any longer, touched their heads one by one.
"They're all delicious, thank you, but you should also eat well."
"Yes~Master."
"…Um."
After hearing what she said, the two weapon elves stopped feeding and began to taste the food on the table.
