I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

In order to avoid causing a commotion, Eve also changed into someone with black hair and red eyes.

"Do you have a reservation?"

"Yes, number 69515."

"Ah, so you're the guest who booked a deluxe room. Please follow me."

As she spoke, a beast girl walked forward to lead the way for them.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

Walking up the stairs, the cat girl in front stopped.

"Okay, this is your room. If you need anything, just open the door and call me."

As he said this, he opened the door for Eve and the others and turned on the lights in the house.

"Well, thank you for your help. Okay, everyone, just order whatever you want. You're welcome."

Eve distributed several menus to everyone as she spoke.

"Eve, cookies."

After casually browsing the menu, Ilvia jumped directly to the dessert area and pointed at the cookies there.

"Okay, can I have one of each?"

"Ok!"

As for Akana, he casually ordered a few juices and didn't seem to have much interest in the main course.

Meanwhile, Istina was worrying about the menu. The menu of this restaurant was mainly meat-based, which was quite consistent with the characteristics of the beastmen. But she was a little worried. It was impossible for the whole table to be filled with all kinds of grilled meat, stewed meat, and smoked meat, right?

As for the vegetarian dishes, it's not that there aren't any, but she's really never heard of the ingredients. And even the meat dishes have some strange names. For example, what the hell is that stewed thing?!

After much hesitation, Istina finally chose to order a few dishes whose ingredients she had no idea about as a change of pace, just as a way to explore new directions. Since they were on the menu, it meant that they at least tasted okay.

"Have the guests ordered yet?"

"Yeah, so one cookie each, and these juices."

"Eh?! All the cookies?!"

The cat girl seemed a little surprised to hear Eve's order.

"Yeah, that's right, Tina, what about you?"

"Oh, roast feast, dinner, Pramis dishes, and... well... that's all."

"Okay, then please wait a moment, we will serve it to you as soon as possible."

With that, the cat girl left the room again.

While waiting for the meal to be served, Eve started chatting with Tina again.

"How is it? There aren't any cat girls or fox girls on the human side, are there?"

"Yes, indeed. On the human side, we can only see people from the tiger and lion tribes. There are indeed no cat tribes. Is it related to the blood tribe?"

Thinking about the situation on the human side, Istina nodded slightly.

There are indeed no such cute beast-eared girls on the human side. There are only those big and strong beastmen, and their style of behavior can be described as wild if you put it nicely, and careless if you put it bluntly. They have absolutely no such cute feeling as the little cat girl just now.

"Hehe, that's right. The vampires are the protectors of the cat and fox tribes. Because of the vampires' need for blood, we have good relations with all races."

"There's such a thing..."

After hearing Eve's explanation, Istina seemed a little surprised. After all, the education she received since childhood had always instilled in her the idea that vampires were enemies, and the history of confrontation between vampires and humans had lasted for thousands of years, which had somewhat affected her impression of vampires.

"Well, quite unexpected, huh?"

"Well, there are some."

It now seems that except for the human race, the vampires have good relations with other races on the continent.

"Well, there's actually a reason why the Blood Clan has been preventing the Human Race from expanding westward. I'll tell you later. Our dinner should be here soon."

Eve dropped the topic temporarily when she heard footsteps outside the door.

As she finished speaking, the door of the private room was opened and several beast girls walked in pushing carts.

"Part of your meal has been prepared, please start enjoying it~"

Then he looked at Eve again.

"My dear guest, some of your cookies are still being made. We will serve you the freshly baked ones first, and the rest will be delivered later~"

As he spoke, he brought up a very gorgeous cookie tower from the dining cart and placed it in front of Eve. The cookie tower was divided into eight layers, and each layer was filled with different cookies. There were also some decorations specially hung on the tower.

"Viya, come on."

"Ok!"

As she spoke, Ilvia happily picked up a biscuit and began to eat it in small bites.

On the other side, the roast feast ordered by Istina has also been served. Different parts of different monsters roasted in various ways almost fill the entire table.

"Alright! Let's eat!"

"""oh!"""

§ 63 The Source of Life

After a hearty meal and a few drinks, everyone took the carriage back to the inner castle of the palace. The children, except Istina, were arranged to stay in an empty room in the side building for one night, and would set off for the Holy Kingdom early the next morning.

As for Istina, she was once again led to her room by Eve.

"Tina?"

"Hmm? What's wrong, Master Hero?"

At this time, Eve and Istina were sitting side by side at the head of the bed chatting in the room.

"Should we go traveling in the future?"

"Eh? I'm fine, but why are you saying that all of a sudden?"

Although she was very interested in traveling with her brave master, Istina was still a little curious about why Eve suddenly said that.

"Hmm... I just happened to be reminded by someone that I haven't really seen this world. Tina's the same. Basically, all I've seen are places like the Land of Wealth."

As she spoke, Eve looked at her fingertips, as if an illusory butterfly was resting there.

"Uh...haha, there's absolutely no way to refute that."

Recalling the time in the Kingdom of Wealth, Istina couldn't help but smile bitterly. To Eve, Istina was her light, but vice versa.

"Although Tina said before that she wanted to live in seclusion with me somewhere no one could find us, since we no longer need to worry about our family, wouldn't it be nice to go out and travel? We can live in a place we like for a while, and when we get bored, we can set off again."

"Hmm... sounds very romantic, Mr. Brave."

"Yeah, that's settled then!"

Eve clapped her hands lightly as she spoke.

"Let's use the journey from the Holy Kingdom to our family home as a little preview! As for the official destination of the trip, hmm... how about we go to the elves first? I also have some things I might need to investigate there."

"Hey! That would be great if it's possible, but aren't the elves said to be very reclusive? Will they allow us to do this?"

"Well... that's true, but it should be okay, right? I'll ask my mother when I have time."

Eve changed the subject and sat up on the edge of the bed.

"Okay, then Tina, go to sleep first. I'm going to check out the library."

"My dear hero, I will come too..."

Before she could finish her words, Eve raised her finger in front of her.

"No, the library is special. I can't bring anyone in casually, so Tina, just go to sleep."

"Well... well, come back soon~"

After hearing her explanation, Istina obediently stopped pestering and lay back down.

"I will, don't worry, have a sweet dream~"

Eve said as she waved her finger and turned off the lights in the house.

"Ah."

—·—·—·—·—·—·—

squeak

After pushing open the door of the library, the library in front of me was exactly the same as the last time I came here. It was still empty, and this time I didn't even feel like I was being scanned by eyes.

After looking at the sign in the library, Eve decided to start looking for records about Dier from the period when the mythological era ended and the dark age began.

Judging from her words, they were probably sealed during that period, but then somehow fell into the hands of the devil's followers.

Due to the Dark Ages, records of that period are quite scarce, consisting of only a few thin booklets.

After quickly flipping through the book, Eve put the record in her hand back to its original place with some helplessness and shook her head slightly.

Not to mention the accuracy of the purple-black butterfly, the word "butterfly" does not appear at all in these records.

"Hmm... Let's go take a look at the records of the elves."

However, she did not give up, but turned to the records of the elves.

Since my mother said that Die'er seemed to have appeared in the records of the elves, maybe we can find some clues on the vampire side.

It’s a pity that Dier has no idea where she was when she was born, otherwise it might be easier to find out, and it wouldn’t be like looking for a needle in a haystack like it is now.

"Hmm...ah! Got it!"

Hard work pays off. Although there is still no record of seeing butterflies, she discovered a record about the source of life.

According to Dier, this was one of the factors that led to her birth. Although I don't know if this is the one recorded, my efforts were not in vain.

"Hmm... Let me see. A source of life disappeared overnight for unknown reasons... Wait, it's gone?"

Eve was a little upset at this moment. Not only had the cause not been found out, but even the location was not written down. It was better not to have any clues at all.

"Well, let's look up more information about the source of life."

According to the records just now, there was once such a thing as the source of life among the elves, but it is estimated to have disappeared now. At least Eve has never heard of its existence again.

However, this search took Eve a lot of time. At first, she thought that the so-called source of life would be a vein, a spring or something like that, but after she spent a long time, she finally found it unexpectedly in the records about the wonderland.

Wonderland, as the name suggests, refers to places with strange features. It is said that it is a gift left by the creator god at the end of the mythological era. It is a gift she gave to children with tenderness and hope.

This is probably why Dier said that the wish engraved in her blood is that this place can become a gentle and beautiful world.

However, since there are only a handful of wonderlands in existence, the name "wonderland" has gradually faded from people's sight, and they are instead called by their unique names, just like the Creation Garden of the Elves and the Golden Valley of the Kingdom of Wealth, which are actually wonderlands.

The long years and the turmoil of the Dark Ages were the main reasons for the disappearance of these wonders. Most of the wonders that could be found disappeared by the end of the Dark Ages, and most of the remaining ones were dissipated in time.

However, these wonders can be said to have burned themselves to illuminate the long night of the Dark Age for the lives on the continent - most of the remaining lives at that time relied on these wonders to survive until the end of the Dark Age.

The source of life is a general term for the life-like wonders among them. These wonders can take various forms, including forests, rivers, springs, etc.

In short, although we have learned what the source of life is, this clue has been broken.

Finally, after going to the magic area again to see if there was any transformation magic, Eve returned to her room.

"Alas, in the end, I can only ask the elves if they have any records."

Her trip to the library was not very smooth. She could not find any records about Dier, and there was no record of the magic of Warcraft transformation, just as her mother had said. It seemed that she could only hope for the elves.

"But how do I get permission... Is it just a matter of asking them to do it? Even then, they might not agree..."

Just look at the situation on the vampire side and you will know that the library or buildings with similar functions are definitely important places in the clan. It is conceivable how difficult it is for her, a vampire princess, to enter the elf library to look up information.

“…Forget it, there’s no other way. I can only try it when the time comes.”

Thinking of this, Eve quietly crawled into her princess bed and slowly fell asleep.
