I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

Elizabeth was only halfway through her words when the male voice that had spoken first interrupted her. Right now, the magic line that Elizabeth used to contact them was the highest and most urgent one, and there was almost no matter that was urgent enough to require activating this line.

"The next thing is the key. In addition to strength enhancement and self-healing, the demon power has a new and troublesome characteristic."

"…Could you please explain in detail?"

Hearing her words, the gentle female voice took on a hint of seriousness.

"This time, those who are contaminated by the power of the demon will not lose their minds directly, and..."

"What did you say!!!"

He had only spoken halfway when a grumpy male voice started yelling directly through the communication magic.

"Quiet! Lady Elizabeth, please continue."

After gently reprimanding the irritable man, the gentle female voice continued.

"Um"

Elizabeth seemed to have gotten used to the man's rudeness and didn't take it too seriously.

"The guy I encountered this time was no different from usual when he wasn't using the power of the Demon God. Even after initially using the power of the Demon God, he didn't lose his mind. His strength was also greatly enhanced at this time. Some black energy could be seen on him, but it was not particularly obvious. It was not until he increased the power of the Demon God again that he completely lost his mind and became almost the same as the one who was previously infected by the power of the Demon God."

"...So, now people with demonic powers can disguise themselves as ordinary people?"

The gentle female voice seemed very serious after hearing Elizabeth's description.

"Well, although we can't confirm whether it's a large-scale phenomenon, you still have to pay attention."

"…I understand. Thank you for your reminder, Your Excellency Elizabeth."

"I remember that too. I'll send someone to keep an eye on it."

The irritable man also calmed down a bit and spoke honestly.

"Well, you should also pay more attention to the abysses in your respective territories. Perhaps this is a sign of another major eruption of the abyssal wave. Let's find a time to meet and discuss it in detail."

""Um.""

Thus ended this brief meeting with distinguished participants.

§ 29 Wei Ya's Dream

On the other hand, after experiencing this turmoil, Eve's life temporarily returned to its former peace.

In the morning, he practiced sparring with Arcana; in the afternoon, he practiced controlling his own strength; at night, he developed magic in bed; from time to time, he would go to the library to look up information; if he really didn't understand something, he would ask his mother for help. In this way, a week passed in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't until tonight that Eve's life saw some changes.

"Your Highness, Her Majesty the Queen has asked me to inform you that you will need to attend a meeting in the main hall tomorrow. The clan leaders will also be in attendance."

"Eh? What's this meeting about?"

Looking at the maid beside her, Eve frowned slightly.

Ever since she regained her memory, she had disliked participating in these messy formal meetings. After all, once she, a vampire princess, appeared in a formal occasion, she had to abide by a lot of messy etiquette so as not to lose face for the vampire royal family.

This alone was enough to give her a headache, not to mention having to deal with those endless smiling tigers. In short, attending meetings was something Eve hated.

Elizabeth was also very considerate and turned down as many meetings as possible for her. Basically, she could be absent unless there was an important matter.

By the way, because of this incident, there was a rumor for a while that Eve was not favored by Elizabeth and was about to be deprived of her bloodline and expelled from the royal family.

Then, just as the news spread, before any fish was caught, it was suppressed by Elizabeth with thundering force. After that, no one dared to make a fuss about their mother-daughter relationship.

Now it was another long-awaited meeting, and all the clan leaders were present. Eve couldn't help but feel curious about the theme of the meeting.

"This is a matter concerning the Gangro clan and Emrik. Your Highness, as a party involved, needs to be present."

"Is it his business..."

When Eve heard that it was about Emrik, her tone immediately became more serious. After all, it was an incident related to the demon god, which was enough to attract her attention.

"So Charles will be there too?"

"Yes, because it is a meeting that all clan leaders must attend."

"Oh, I see. You should go and rest too."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

With that, the maid left the room and closed the door. Eve then used magic to change into her pajamas and threw herself directly onto her big bed.

"Hoo, Viya, Arcana, let's pause our research tonight and sleep together!"

"Ok!"

After responding very happily, Ilvia immediately rushed to Eve's side.

Compared to the two of them, Arcana seemed much more stable. She was arranging the pillows of the three people while asking.

"Is it because of the meeting tomorrow?"

"Well, after all, this is a meeting that all the clan leaders will be in attendance. It's not appropriate to expend too much energy at night."

"Is that so... Oh, right, Master."

"Ok?"

"What kind of magic are you developing now? It seems like there's been no progress. It didn't take you that long to develop the Prison Flame Star before."

Eve seemed helpless when she heard Arcana's question.

"Don't mention that. I just realized that the destructive nature of my magic is too obvious, which often makes it impossible to follow previous experience. The fact that Hell Flame Star succeeded so quickly was purely a coincidence."

Eve turned over in bed, lying flat on her back like a salted fish, and continued to complain.

"That time, it went so smoothly because I focused on the destructive nature of my magic from the beginning. However, this kind of magic has no versatility at all."

"That's it..."

Listening to her complaints, Akana could only scratch her hair helplessly. After all, she knew nothing about this.

The "Hellfire Star" mentioned in the conversation between the two was the fire-attribute attack magic that Eve had cast before, and it was finally named by Arcana.

After being polished by Eve and Elizabeth, the possibility of it getting out of control has been basically eliminated. It can be tried in actual combat as long as Eve can completely control her power.

The reason why it is basically ruled out is because the destructive power of Eve's magic is too unstable. At least now it is in a state where she dares to use it and it dares to explode.

The only embarrassing thing is that because the part of the magic formula that belongs to Eve's personal power attribute is too critical, Elizabeth cannot use this magic, or no one can, after all, no one else has as destructive magic as Eve.

To be precise, Hellfire Star is not so much a fire magic as it is a concentration of the destructive part of Eve's magic, that is, destruction disguised as flames.

"Well, forget it, let's not talk about this for now. There will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain. Sooner or later, we will come up with a solution. Let's go to sleep first."

As she spoke, Eve pulled the quilt over the three of them.

"Well, I believe in the master."

After a soft chuckle, Arcana also crawled into the bed.

Then the room fell into darkness, and the breathing of the three people gradually became steady as they gradually fell asleep.

But Eve may not be able to rest well tonight.

"…Another dream?"

Looking around at the scene around her, Eve found herself in chaos again, as if she had entered a dream again.

After regaining her memory, Eve hasn't dreamed for a while, or rather, she hasn't had time to dream?

After all, she had been working non-stop since Arcana was awakened.

Different from the previous nightmares filled with unpleasantness, this time she seemed to be watching everything from a third-party perspective, but everything around her was still hazy.

“…From now on…I’ll…pay…at…you…”

Suddenly, in the haze, a voice came from nowhere and appeared in Eve's ears.

The voice seemed extremely weak and powerless, as if the life of the owner of the voice was like a candle in the wind, and he was just forcing himself to say these words. But despite being extremely weak, the voice gave people an extremely gentle feeling.

Although it was completely different from Elizabeth's voice, Eve felt as if she was in her mother's arms.

Feeling the weakness in the voice, tears appeared in the corners of Eve's eyes without her knowing when, and even the chaos around her seemed to be sad about it.

Then everything in front of Eve turned into light and shadow, changing rapidly, making it impossible to see anything clearly. It was not until she was a little dazzled that the light and shadow slowly stopped.

This time, a screen of light appeared in front of her eyes, and she returned to the first-person perspective. The person in front of her should be a woman, but perhaps due to the influence of the dream, Eve could not see her face at all, and could only see the general color blocks.

From the corner of his eye, he could barely make out that the protagonist in the dream seemed to be located on a snowy mountain. From the surrounding ground, it seemed that a battle had just taken place here, with all kinds of sword marks and deep pits everywhere.

The woman in front of her seemed to have been severely injured in the battle just now. Tears could be clearly heard in her words. Due to the influence of the dream, many of her tones were slightly changed, and only a general idea could be heard.

"Ilvey... I want to... live... I want to... go see... and..."

"Well! Definitely!"

What responded to her was a voice full of strong will. Although the voice was also a little distorted, Eve still recognized the owner of the voice - the Holy Sword Elf, Ilvia.

"Hmm... So this must be Wei Ya's dream? Or more like a memory?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Eve had some guesses about the current situation.

Afterwards, the protagonist from Eve's perspective suddenly hugged the woman in front of her tightly, and then an extremely dazzling light filled her eyes, and the dream came to an end at this moment.

§ 30 Interwoven Dreams

"Hmm...mm..."

In the darkness, Eve opened her eyes, her bright red pupils standing out in the dim bedroom.

"Hmm...was the dream just now a memory of Viya?"

Subconsciously, she wanted to pinch her eyebrows, but she couldn't move her arm. As if she remembered something, Eve turned her body to the side and looked at Ilvia who was sleeping soundly beside her.

At this time, Ilvia was hugging her arms tightly, and she seemed to have noticed Eve's actions just now, and her brows were slightly frowned.

"Snowy mountains, battle. The latter part of the video should be about the end of the demon subjugation war, right? But what about the first memory..."

Even now that she was awake, when Eve recalled the voice in her dream, a feeling of sadness still surged in her heart.

"Um...Eve?"

At this moment, Ilvia, who was holding her arm, suddenly woke up, and her slightly opened aqua-blue eyes happened to meet Eve's gaze.

"Oh, sorry, did I wake you?"

Thinking that her noise had woken her up, Eve quickly apologized.

"no."

Shaking her head slightly, Ilvia continued.

"I just had a dream."

"Eh? Viya too? What kind of dream was it?"

Eve was a little surprised to hear her words.

"Well... there are a lot of people."

After thinking for a while, Wei Ya replied.
