I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"Well, thank you, mother."

"Okay, what are you talking about?"

Elizabeth ruffled Eve's silver hair as she spoke.

"Is Little Eve okay? If not, go back and accompany Little Tina."

"Ah! One last thing. Come out, Dier."

Following Eve's voice, a purple-black butterfly appeared at her fingertips.

"Mother, could you please call back all the inspection teams and have them bring a Dier clone with them? That way, if any problems arise, she can notify me immediately, and I can rush over in time."

"There's no problem in asking them to come back, but can she take care of so many people at once? The inspection team has quite a few people."

Elizabeth said as she looked at the butterfly on Eve's fingertips.

"Die'er herself is quite special. Each of her little clones has its own consciousness, but they are all interconnected, so there's no problem."

"That's good. Mother will be ready to call them back soon."

"Then mother, I will go back to find Tina first."

As she spoke, Eve also stood up.

"Go~"

§ 99 Camouflage Necklace

"Tina, I'm back~"

"Ah, my hero."

After saying goodbye to Elizabeth in the study, Eve returned to her room. At this time, Istina was sitting obediently on her princess bed waiting for her.

"Well, Tina, why don't you choose a room in the inner castle as well? Wouldn't that be more convenient? There are plenty of empty rooms in the inner castle anyway."

Looking at Istina who was sitting on the bed doing nothing, Eve also sat beside her and asked casually.

Since Eve's things are basically kept in the demiplane, there are almost no personal belongings in her room. It is so simple that it is a bit too simple. It does not look like the room of a princess at all. However, it is very convenient for the maids to clean.

But this also meant that while Istina was waiting for her here, she could only sit on the bed and wait in vain, without even doing anything to pass the time.

"If you want to sleep at night, just stay on my side. Tina can use that side as her own little private space. How about that?"

"But I don't have anything to do behind the hero's back."

After hearing Eve's suggestion, Istina said with some confusion.

"Well, don't say that. A little bit of private space is also very important when two people are together."

As she spoke, Eve gently placed a finger in front of Tina's lips.

"Let me think about it. If Tina wanted to give me a surprise, wouldn't she need a place like this? Right?"

"Yeah...it is."

After hearing what Eve said, Istina did not refuse.

"Okay, let's go choose a room now."

Eve leaned back and jumped off the bed.

"Well, I'll just choose the room closest to the hero."

"We have to go take a look, right? Let's go."

Since Eve and Elizabeth's rooms are located in separate protruding spires on both sides of the castle, there are no other rooms on the entire floor, so Istina's room can only be chosen on the lower floor closest to the castle.

After leaving the room, the two of them were halfway down the stairs when Eve heard faint footsteps coming from the stairs below. The sound didn't come from Elizabeth, and it was even less likely to be the group of maids who walked so silently. It could only be a visitor.

Thinking of this, Eve quickly signaled Istina behind her to stop for a moment so that she could see who was coming down.

There are racial issues between the two people. Although the parties involved don't care much about it, after all, Eve's identity is there, so they still have to consider the impact.

Then Eve glanced at her clothes, coughed twice to clear her throat, and then walked down slowly.

"Ah, Princess, you're back."

When the visitor went upstairs, he happened to see Eve coming down the stairs on the upper floor. He smiled and nodded in greeting.

"It's Serissa. Why did you suddenly come to the inner castle in person? Did something happen?"

And Eve responded with a polite smile.

The red-haired woman in front of Eve is also a clan leader of the vampire clan, but she has just ascended the throne not long ago. She belongs to the pro-royal faction and is quite familiar with Eve.

"Well, there are some things I need to ask Her Majesty the Queen in person."

"Is that so? Then I won't bother you. Mother is in the study right now."

"Well, see you later, Princess."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Eve, Cecil went into the study. Eve breathed a sigh of relief, went back to the stairs and pulled Istina back into the room.

"Phew, luckily it was Serissa who came, otherwise it would have been really troublesome."

Eve was visibly relieved when she returned to the house.

"Are you okay just now, Mr. Brave?"

"It's okay. Cecilia probably noticed there was someone else on the stairs, but she won't delve into it. If it was someone from the Bloodline faction, it would probably be more troublesome."

Although the bloodline faction wouldn't dare go up the stairs directly to check the situation, there was still a high chance that they would use this matter to disgust Eve.

"It was my fault for not thinking it through. I should have cast some magic on Tina to cover it up."

Since there are only a limited number of people coming to the inner castle on weekdays, Eve has lowered her guard a little and has not run into any outsiders several times. As a result, something almost happened today. If she had heard Serissa's footsteps below a little later, the two sides would probably have collided with each other.

What if the vampire princess were to wander around the inner castle with a human and bump into a clan leader? It would be a headache just to think about that situation.

"Anyway, Tina, what kind of jewelry do you want as a medium for enchantment?"

"Um... necklace?"

After thinking for a while, Istina whispered.

"A necklace? No problem."

As she spoke, a huge amount of magic power began to gather in Eve's hands, eventually forming an exquisite necklace with a rose gold chain and a red gem at the bottom. Red lightning seemed to be faintly visible flowing through the gem, making it look particularly gorgeous.

"Good~"

Walking around behind Istina, Eve put the necklace on her slender neck and pushed her in front of the mirror in her room.

"How's it going? Do you like it?"

"Yeah! It looks great."

"That's good~"

Eve said as she walked back to Istina's side, trying to divert her attention.

To be honest, when I was looking at Istina's neck just now, her canine teeth moved slightly. Considering that she has no rigid demand for blood, it is probably a sign that her other needs have been aroused.

But Eve still wants to wait a little longer, at least until after Istina's coming-of-age ceremony. In fact, Eve originally wanted to get rid of her family and make a complete break with the past before eating Istina. As for the meaning of this eating, it's up to your imagination.

Although she always feels that she may not be able to endure until then, after all, her Istina is super cute!!!

"Mr. Brave? How do you use this?"

Seeing Eve beside her not saying anything, Istina asked curiously.

"Hmm? Ah! Just activate it mentally, it's that simple."

Eve came back to her senses and said quickly.

"Okay, I'll try."

As she spoke, Istina closed her eyes lightly and imagined in her mind what she would look like when she became a vampire. When she opened her eyes again, a girl with blood-red eyes appeared in the mirror.

At this time, there was actually no other change in Istina in the mirror except that the color of her pupils turned bright red, but her temperament had changed a lot, from the previous gentle feeling to a somewhat sharp momentum.

The aura on her body has completely turned into that of a vampire, completely covering up her original human aura.

"Hmm... not bad, no flaws. Just remember to turn it on when you're with the vampires and turn it off when you're with the humans. It's fine to turn it on or off at other times, and you can turn it off in private too."

After looking at Istina carefully again, Eve said with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll keep it in mind."

§ 100 The Legend of the Fastest Room Selection

After finishing the camouflage necklace, Eve chatted with Istina in the bedroom for a while to avoid Serissa downstairs. After estimating that she had left, Eve took Istina downstairs to check the room.

squeak

After pushing open the door closest to the stairs on the right, Eve looked at Istina behind her.

“This one should be the closest one.”

The space in the room is not too big, and the furnishings are very simple, with only a table, a dressing mirror and a chair, but they are all very high-end. Since the window in the room faces the inner castle courtyard, the view outside the window is quite good.

"But it seems a little small. Do you want to look at other rooms?"

"Hmm... this is fine."

After walking into the room and taking a rough look around, and comparing the size, Istina didn't seem to mind at all. She directly chose this room and didn't even plan to look at other rooms.

So this house-hunting trip ended so abruptly just as it began.

"Well, if Tina wants to stay here, that's fine. Is there anything else you need? I'll have someone prepare it."

"Hmm... a cabinet? I can't think of anything else for now."

"The cabinet? Okay, I'll have it delivered later. If you think of anything else, remember to tell me."

Then Eve clapped her hands.

"Okay, then it's time to continue teaching Tina magic. Today we're going to teach her original magic."

That's right, it took Eve more than a month to finally transform her Hellfire Star into a version that Istina could use, replacing the previous core power of destruction with the power of annihilation. The replacement process was really a bit brain-burning for her.

However, this modified version of the Hell Flame Star still inherited the same old problem - it has become a style exclusively for Istina, and no one else can use it.

But Eve has almost given up. Just use it for special purpose. As long as it works, it's fine. Anyway, except that it will be a bit troublesome when teaching others, this magic can be said to be perfect.

"Anyway, Tina, learn my original magic first to make sure you have enough output methods. Then, little by little, try to develop your own original magic. Don't be impatient when developing magic, or it can be very dangerous, especially since your magic characteristics are so special."

"Okay, don't worry, brave man. I'll leave it to Teacher Eve~"

In this way, the afternoon passed in teaching, and in the evening, Elizabeth quietly found Eve.

"Mother, what's wrong? Why did you ask me to avoid Tina and come here?"

Eve looked a little puzzled looking at Elizabeth in front of her. Before going to bed, the maid in the inner castle quietly told her that her mother wanted to see her and asked her to be careful to avoid Istina. As a result, Eve had to sneak over after Tina fell asleep.

"Ah, it's nothing important. I just want Little Eve to take Little Tina around the city more often these next couple of days so Mother can prepare for Little Tina's coming-of-age ceremony."

“…Uh, that’s it?”

Before Eve came, she thought Elizabeth had something important to tell her secretly.

"Yes, what else? Little Eve thought mother would say something to you?"

“…It seems that there isn’t.”

Eve couldn't help but hold her forehead after hearing Elizabeth's question. "Why is such a small matter being kept so secret?"

"Then I'll go back to sleep. Mother, please get some rest too."

"Well, let's go~"
