I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"Mother, this seems to be a demonstration by the Demon God's followers. If I hadn't arrived in time, they would have spread the news of the patrol team's fate. They are well prepared, with teleportation and communication obstructions, warning barriers, and even the ability to trigger a rampage in dangerous areas."

"Running away in a dangerous place?! How are you? Are you not hurt?"

Hearing this, Elizabeth seemed to have forgotten that Eve was also a member of the royal blood clan with extraordinary self-healing abilities. She sat up directly, pressed Eve under her, lifted up her coat and began to examine her.

"Don't worry, mother. I'm fine."

While struggling to resist Elizabeth's clutches, Eve said with some difficulty.

"Two spells will solve it. Mother, don't forget to inform the others."

"Is that so...Okay, I'll notify the other patrol teams and have them act with caution."

Elizabeth felt relieved after hearing Eve say this.

"Yes, mother."

As if she remembered something, Eve continued with a somewhat wandering gaze.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Anything else?"

"Um... that's... that dangerous place with scorching flames."

"Scorching Danger Zone? What happened? Did anything else happen besides the rampage?"

Elizabeth seemed a little strange when she heard Eve talking about the dangerous place again.

"Ah, no, no, it's not that something happened. Ah, no, it seems that something did happen."

"So what happened?"

Elizabeth seemed a little puzzled listening to Eve's riddle, and had no idea what she wanted to say.

"Ahem... To put it simply, I blew it up."

After a light cough, Eve explained with a wandering gaze.

"Half of it was frozen by diamond stardust, and the other half was blasted into a magma lake by the Hellfire Star. In short, it's hard to tell what it originally looked like."

The more Eve spoke, the softer her voice became.

"What? You sound so serious. I thought you were injured."

Elizabeth didn't care at all after hearing what she said.

"It's a dangerous place anyway. It doesn't matter what it becomes. As long as little Eve is okay, I'm glad."

"…Um."

There was a slight silence, and then Eve squeezed out a response embarrassedly.

"Listen carefully, little Eve. You must put your own safety first."

Elizabeth said as she held Eve's little face.

"Even if the Demon God's followers escape, we can track them down again, but it would be bad if little Eve got hurt."

"...Well, I understand."

Seeing the concern in Elizabeth's eyes, Eve whispered a little embarrassedly.

Regarding making juice, ah no, the inner... part, cough, if there is a chance in the future, I will make it into a separate chapter to explain in detail. Finally, please collect it~

§ 39 Undercurrent [Please add to collection~]

"Yes, mother."

"Ok?"

After resting in bed for a while, Eve suddenly remembered something and spoke.

"Can I go to the human tribe to pick up Istina? Now that I can control my power, the rescue team will not be delayed."

"Of course, but you don't have to worry about the inspection team for now. Go on your honeymoon with Estina and leave the matters over there to mother."

"…Um."

Eve's pretty face turned slightly red as she listened to Elizabeth's teasing, and she responded softly.

"But before you go, there's something I want to tell you."

Suddenly Elizabeth's voice grew serious, and she continued.

"Regarding the person who backstabbed you, although they appear to be from the Grans family, my investigation revealed that this family seems to be involved with the Demon God's followers. It's very likely that they were behind this. However, since we can't find any clues, we can't be sure. Little Eve, please be careful."

"Eh?! A follower of the demon god? No wonder..."

After hearing what Elizabeth said, Eve was a little surprised, but also felt as if she suddenly understood something.

This clarified a lot of things. She had been wondering how someone could dare to destroy the long-held expectations of so many people in the human race, but if it was a follower of the demon god who did it, it would make sense.

After all, it was common knowledge on the continent that the Holy Sword holder and other Holy Weapon users had defeated the Demon God together.

If there is a chance to kill the Holy Sword Master, the Demon God believer will naturally be very happy, and the Grans family, who value money more than anything else, is the best agent to do it.

"Wait a minute, if the family is connected to the Demon God's followers, then wouldn't Istina be involved as well?"

As if she recalled some bad scenes, Eve was unusually panicked at this moment.

Seeing her like this, Elizabeth quickly comforted her.

"It shouldn't happen. Only a very small number of senior members and direct descendants of the Grans family are involved with the Demon God's followers. A marginal figure like Istina won't be involved. She is also protected by the secret guards I sent, so there is no need to worry too much about her situation."

Eve heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Is that so? Thank you, mother."

"Instead of saying thank you, why not bring her back to see me as soon as possible."

Eve's cheeks flushed when she heard Elizabeth's words, but she nodded slightly.

"Ok!"

"Right? Do you want to leave now?"

Seeing Eve's shy look, Elizabeth suddenly spoke with interest.

"Eh? Now?"

Eve was also surprised by her unusual proposal, but after some hesitation she rejected it.

"Well...it's getting late today. Let's leave tomorrow morning."

"Well... that's fine. Then little Eve can stay with mother for another day."

"Ah."

In this way, the day before departure passed quietly. Apart from the fact that the mother and daughter had dinner together and slept together at night, it was no different from usual.

After all, Eve was just going out to pick up Istina and spend a short honeymoon there. It wasn't like she would never return to the Vampire Palace in the future, so there was no need to be too ceremonial.

Because, now her home is here.

So, the next morning.

"So, are you ready? Mother is here to see little Eve off."

"Ok!"

Although Eve said that she could teleport herself, Elizabeth directly refused on the grounds of ritual.

"Well, let me confirm one last time. The location is on the outskirts of Shurik City. After you buy the gifts there, you can go to the suburbs to meet Istina. Is that okay?"

"...Huh? Wait, isn't this Lost City?"

"What is Little Eve talking about? Istina is now in the suburbs of Shurik City."

"Hmm...hmm? But isn't the Grans family in Lost City?"

"Eh? Didn't I tell you? Shortly after the news of your defeat spread, Istina was semi-exiled near Shurik City, managing an orphanage. She's well-fed, but she's well-clothed. It's probably because the Grans family is trying to gain some fame, since they're related to the Hero, after all."

“…definitely not.”

After recovering her memory, Eve would receive reports about Istina's situation every once in a while, letting her know that everything was fine there, but this incident was never mentioned in the reports.

"…Here are your maps and identification. Are you ready to go?"

Seeing that Elizabeth was trying to get away with it, Eve had no choice but to give up pursuing the matter.

"Well, then I'll leave it to you, mother."

After moderately activating her dragon bloodline and changing her hair to black and eyes to avoid being too conspicuous, Eve took Ilvia and Arcana's hands in their lolita state and spoke.

"Yeah, come back soon. 'Teleport to the outskirts of Shurik City'."

As the scene before her eyes gradually disappeared in the dazzling light, Eve narrowed her eyes slightly, and when she opened her eyes again, she had arrived at the outskirts of Shurik City.

Looking at the dazzling sun above her head, Eve's eyes also showed a bit of nostalgia.

Because vampires in this world are weakened by sunlight, the vampire leader's daytime appearance is always maintained through magic. It has been more than two years since standing in direct sunlight like this.

He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two weapon elves beside him.

"Let's go to the city and buy some gifts. We need to apologize properly after not seeing each other for almost three years."

As they spoke, the three of them walked hand in hand towards the city gate, preparing for the encounter and reunion that would come soon.

—·—·—·—·—·—·—

And at this moment, in the dark side of the world, dormant shadows are also stirring.

--blue sky--

"Hey, are you still struggling? I'm surprised you've been able to hold on for this long."

A dark shadow spoke to the light curtain that was slowly being eroded by him.

"..."

"Don't you want to say something? Maybe this is the last thing you can say."

"..."

"Hmph, after you become the person I like, I believe you will speak."

"..."

Seeing that there was no response from inside the barrier, the black shadow felt a little bored, but he also began to look forward to what it would be like after he got her and eroded her.

He couldn't wait to see the desperate expressions on people's faces after she was corrupted.

"Let it end here. Let it be broken."

As the black shadow finished speaking, the erosion suddenly intensified, and the thin barrier kept flickering, as if it would be completely extinguished in the next moment.

But just when the black shadow thought that the matter was a foregone conclusion and lowered his guard, a huge amount of magic power suddenly appeared in the body of the girl in the barrier.

"!"

Then, the barrier that was almost broken suddenly burst out with dazzling light and began to push back, even directly wrapping the black shadow inside.

Accompanied by thick black smoke and painful wails, the black shadow's body was constantly being dissolved and purified.

"A thousand years! A thousand years! And miracles are still blessing you?"

"..."

"It won't end like this, just wait, Il..."

Finally, with the threat echoing in the sky, the black shadow was completely purified, and within the light curtain, the girl with silver hair and blue eyes turned into a point of light and fell into a deep sleep.

The originally expanded light curtain also shrank and turned into a light cocoon, quietly waiting to be awakened in the blue sky.

The remaining energy turned into a barrier on the top of the mountain to guard against malicious people from the outside world.

——Unknown location——

"asshole!"

As a mouthful of black blood spurted out, the black shadow on the throne covered his chest with an ugly expression.
