I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

§ 64 Setting off again

"Hmm~ Yawn~ Hmm, what's pressing on me..."

Eve opened her eyes in confusion and felt as if something was pressing down on her.

After trying to push a few times, a voice reached her ears.

“…Eve?”

"Hmm? Ah, Viya, okay, it's time to get up, go down."

Eve leaned forward slightly and gestured.

"Ah."

She didn't know when Ilvia lay on top of her last night. Ilvia was clearly asleep when she came back.

Then Eve looked at Istina beside her.

"Tina, Tina, wake up, Tina."

"Um... Mr. Brave?"

"It's time to get up. We have to go to the Holy Kingdom today."

"Hmm...Okay~"

Istina supported herself and sat up.

"Hmm... It's nice to be woken up like this by the hero."

"Haha, come to think of it, you were the one who always woke me up."

Eve couldn't help but smile when she recalled the days when Istina would wake her up every day.

"Yes, at that time, the hero always felt that he had not had enough rest."

"Well, after all, training and fighting every day is pretty exhausting. Okay, get up. We still have to go wake the kids."

"Ah."

As she spoke, Istina picked up the clothes that were neatly folded beside the bed and began to put them on one by one, giving Eve, who was standing beside her, a little leisure time.

The thin pajamas slid off Tina's body, and her long cherry-pink hair hung down in front of her chest, slightly covering the two cherry-red spots in front of her body, and then this scene was firmly blocked by the shirt.

As for Eve herself, it was much easier. She just jumped out of bed and solved the problem with a magic of changing clothes.

"Hmm... How convenient! I really envy the hero."

Looking at Eve who had changed into casual clothes and was waiting for her in the blink of an eye, Ilvia, who was still putting on her coat, couldn't help but say enviously.

"If you want to learn, Tina, I can teach you. This isn't a complicated spell. Rather than being difficult, it's more about testing your clothing inventory."

"Well, it's settled!"

"Good~"

As they were talking, Istina had already put on her clothes.

"Alright, let's go, brave man."

"Ah."

After going to the side building to wake up the children, everyone came to the courtyard of the inner castle again.

Well, it’s still the familiar departure place, and not only the place is familiar, but Elizabeth also comes to see Eve off again.

Although it seemed like only a few days had passed since the last time she left, Eve still felt a little strange.

"Okay, is everyone here?"

Elizabeth glanced at everyone as she spoke.

"Huh? Why does it seem like there's one more person?"

Since Elizabeth could also see the report about Istina, she had some impression of the situation in the monastery. At least a few people knew about it, but when she glanced just now, she found that there seemed to be one more person here.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."

Eve said as she pulled Lucia over.

"This child is Lucia. I met her by chance in Shurik City. She was also wandering around, and I was afraid she'd be taken to an orphanage, so I took her to the monastery with me. I hope she won't cause any trouble for Mother."

"It wouldn't be a big deal, but you might have to register the child as your adopted child in the Holy Kingdom."

"Eh? I adopted him?!"

After hearing what Elizabeth said, Eve seemed a little confused, mixed with a bit of surprise.

"Before, I only had them prepare the paperwork for the children from the monastery. Since there was one more child, naturally, I had to add it to your name. Since you brought him back, you should be responsible for it."

Elizabeth smiled with interest as she spoke.

"Then there's the matter of that Burial Butterfly you mentioned."

"Die'er?"

As Eve waved her fingers slightly, a purple-black butterfly quietly appeared at her fingertips and stopped there quietly.

"Well, there's still a year until the elves' regular festival. By then, you can go as an envoy from the vampires, and then you can ask them to help you search for it."

"Okay, thank you, mother."

At this moment, the butterfly that had just been resting obediently on Eve's fingertips suddenly flew up. After flying around Lucia for a few times, it landed on Lucia's shoulder, allowing her to reach out and touch it gently, rubbing off some scale powder.

"Die'er?"

But after hearing Eve's call, she returned to Eve's fingertips.

"It seems like she likes this child very much, too."

Elizabeth said as she looked at Lucia who was confused.

"Well, it seems like this girl is very approachable. It was the same when I met her. Viya was also very willing to be with her. I used to think that she had a high affinity with the Holy Sword, but now it seems that is not the case."

After all, the Burial Butterfly is related to the Dragon Clan and has nothing to do with the Holy Sword.

But judging from Dier's appearance just now, she seemed to be very close to Lucia as well. Maybe there was something special about Lucia.

"Hmm... That might be related to the weapon spirit she'll awaken. I've seen this before. Let's bring her here for the next awakening ceremony. I'm also a little curious about what weapon spirit she'll awaken."

"Okay, but when is the next awakening ceremony, Mother? I want Tina to try it out as well."

"There are still about three months left. This awakening ceremony isn't too far away from the last one."

"Is that so? Okay, I'll be back in time with Lucia and Tina."

Eve said this after estimating in her mind how long her next plan would take.

"That's good. Don't forget. Let's get ready to go."

"Well, I'll trouble you, mother~"

"By the way, this time we'll send you directly to the base on the outskirts of Pegasus. Aside from Lucia's adoption, you can leave the rest of the matters to them. Talk to them about the adoption and they'll help you out."

"Good~"

As she spoke, Eve pulled Istina over to stand with the children.

"Have a happy honeymoon, little Eve~ 'Teleport to the Suburbs of Pegasus'"

Then, in the dazzling light, everyone's figures disappeared into the courtyard, but before leaving, Istina's cheeks turned red again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the transmission ended, everyone appeared in a closed room. In front of them was a tightly closed door. Several eternally burning lamps were hung on the wall, illuminating the room. A breeze seemed to be blowing in faintly.

"here it is…"

squeak

Just as Eve was about to look around, the door in front of them suddenly opened, and then a woman walked in.

"Your Highness."

After entering the room, she first bowed to Eve.

"Eh? You know me?"

At this time, Eve had black hair and red eyes, but what surprised her was that the woman in front of her still knew her identity.

"Her Majesty the Queen told me."

"Is that so? Then you know why we're here, right?"

"Yes, please follow me."

Having said this, the woman turned around and began to lead the way in front of them.

After exchanging a glance with Istina, Eve gave her a reassuring look. The fact that her mother mentioned her cross-dressing meant that the person in front of her was her mother's confidant, so she didn't need to be too wary.

"Let's go."

Then everyone followed and left the secret room one by one.

§ 65 Alessa Chamber of Commerce

After passing through a long and narrow stone corridor, everyone came out from a secret door where no one was around.

"plz follow me."

As they all left the secret passage, the secret door behind them slowly closed and returned to its original state.

“Eh? Eh!!!!”

However, at this moment, Istina beside Eve suddenly became excited after seeing the logo of the Chamber of Commerce nearby.

"Eve! This is the Elesa Chamber of Commerce!"

"Eh? What happened to the Elesa Chamber of Commerce?"

However, Eve, who didn't know much about these things, obviously didn't know why she was so excited.

"What's wrong? This is the largest women's chamber of commerce!"

"Hey, is that so?"

Eve was a little surprised after hearing her explanation.

But if you think about it carefully, it is quite reasonable. After all, it is very convenient for a chamber of commerce to collect information from all aspects. Even if it is spread everywhere, it is normal, and the communication between different chamber of commerce bases will not be suspected.

"Yeah, everyone out there is speculating about who is behind them, but I didn't expect it to be."

Istina lowered her voice in the latter half of her words, but she still couldn't hide the surprise in her words.

The Ailesa Chamber of Commerce is a thorn in the eyes of those family-style chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Wealth. The entire chamber of commerce is composed entirely of women, and many of its backbone members are orphans they adopted and trained along the way. Therefore, everyone in the chamber of commerce is like a sister, and there is almost no room for them to interfere.

The founder of the Chamber of Commerce created a myth of starting from scratch. With the help of the Empire's suppressive policy on the Chamber of Commerce of the Kingdom of Wealth, he rose rapidly and soon spread to the other three major forces except the Kingdom of Wealth and the Lawless Land.

Since all the members of the Chamber of Commerce are women, the Alessa Chamber of Commerce is quite popular among women. In the Traveler's Country, there are many female adventurers who like to cooperate with them.

As for the rise of the Alessa Chamber of Commerce, the old families in the Kingdom of Wealth will naturally not sit idly by, but their previous methods of suppressing similar chambers of commerce have all failed in the face of the Alessa Chamber of Commerce.

They were completely unable to find out the source of the funds behind the Ailesa Chamber of Commerce, and even trying to cut off their supply of goods and raw materials was futile. They always found enough things to sell from somewhere.

As for some under-the-table means, such as assassination, they were completely ineffective. None of the killers sent out came back alive, and even a one-for-one exchange was never achieved.

Finally, despite the obstacles from the Kingdom of Wealth, the Ailesa Chamber of Commerce slowly developed to its current size after more than ten years.

And it turns out that the vampires are standing behind such a chamber of commerce.

"Okay, we're here. Princess Eve and Miss Istina, please go meet the president first. Everyone else, please wait in the room next door."

Suddenly the woman in front of him stopped and stopped in front of a door.

"Well, I'll trouble you guys for the rest."

"Yes."
