"Hmm... this time, the same situation as before won't happen again."
She muttered something to herself, then placed her hand on her chest and clenched it.
hum!
She actually pulled a sword from her body—the Sword of Wandering!
Yin Shang exclaimed in shock, "It was inside you?! How could you—"
Lingxi smiled slightly:
"This is one of the reasons why I will need your help later. But for now, please be patient, little knight."
"This prince will not do anything to your holy sword."
...
Her expression suddenly contorted, and she swayed unsteadily.
"Woo..."
"My thoughts... are getting out of control..."
"Heh, but this time, with it, I can...!"
Her expression was slightly sick and crazy, and she suddenly raised the Sword of Hesitation and held it to her own neck.
"Hehehe, hahahahaha—"
Swish!
The Sword of Hesitation emitted an eerie light. Without hesitation, she raised it and slashed her own neck.
As everyone gasped in surprise, upon closer inspection, they discovered that there were no marks on her neck.
"what!"
A strange white gas emanated from her neck and then dissipated into the air.
The swaying blonde girl regained her balance, her expression returning to its usual sinister look.
"Hmm, I feel refreshed."
She stretched contentedly and casually tossed the Wandering Sword to Yin Shang.
"Okay, here you go."
...
Yin Shang took the sword, but couldn't figure it out.
"What did you just do!"
Lingxi said, "Hmm? Didn't you only recently learn about this sword's special function? It's to separate souls."
She sucked her fingers again, savoring the memory.
"Hiss. That wisp of white smoke just now was a soul. It was the soul of that disgusting human that was separated from this blood energy. His crazed soul mixed into the blood energy, making it impure and preventing me from absorbing it. It also affected my mind. With the power of the Sword of Wandering, I can finally devour this blood energy."
"Hehe. Since the corporation can always keep these blood energy hosts at their disposal, then let them be devoured, digested, and made to disappear completely..."
She wore a disdainful smile.
"It's clearly the corporation that sends these shady monsters to harass the vampires every day, causing me, the prince, endless headaches. They're doing things even more shameful than the vampires themselves, and I've dealt with them. Are you suggesting they hold me responsible?"
...
Ludwig finally understood; her previous erratic behavior on the highway was probably a side effect of indigestion.
So another mystery has been solved.
But the problem is, when I met her at the church, she was almost just as crazy...
Therefore, Ludwig also had reason to suspect that this woman might have always been like this.
She effortlessly annihilated her enemy, showing not a shred of pity. Even Rokoko, who had previously opposed her in the church, was pierced through the body without a word...
If Ludwig weren't a vampire, the blond guy in front of her would undoubtedly be some kind of villain who stepped out of a movie set.
Making an enemy of her is obviously not a wise move, but her current lack of hostility towards them is enough to send chills down one's spine.
Chapter 72 Born from Chaos
“Human, didn’t you want to know what I, the prince, really am?” Lingxi asked.
The group walked along another passageway in the prison, the atmosphere oppressive and silent.
"Once you get there, all your doubts will be answered. But knowing this will not do you any good."
The blonde girl turned her head to look at the crowd behind her.
"If you reveal these secrets before my queen returns to the throne... the consequences will be the destruction of the vampire race."
"Heh, how are you going to prove you can control your mouths?"
Ruo Keke, a servant, mustered her courage and said:
"Your Majesty, the young lady and this knight are aware of the Queen's disappearance. Neither of them has spoken of it casually. Therefore, the 'secret' Your Majesty speaks of must also be true..."
Lingxi suddenly stopped, her cold gaze fixed on Ruokeke.
"Hmm? So, little maids... how did these two cuties find out about this?"
If Coco's pupils contracted, she would become incoherent:
"Your Majesty, this is because..."
Ludwig suddenly stood in front of Ruokeke, blocking her bewildered expression.
"Neither I nor that knight over there have any reason to be enemies of the vampires, Your Highness."
"The suffering of the vampires does no good to me, a vampire. And this Mr. Yin has previously cooperated with the council in hunting monsters as a church knight, and has no deep hatred for us vampires."
"He came here with me not only to seek Langki... cough cough, now Lochina the Demon Lance, but also to find a way to remove the curse. He heard that the Vampire Queen knows how to cure the vampire curse he bears."
Ludwig winked at Yin Shang.
"Right, Mr. Knight?"
...
“Ah...yes, that’s right,” Yin Shang quickly replied.
Lingxi remained silent for a moment, then turned around.
"Hmph, that's good. I hope what you say is true. If you want to see my little Shirley, you'll have to see if you're qualified."
Yin Shang asked, "What qualifications do you have?"
The princess smiled slightly.
“I know where she is, and as you might think, she played an important role in her departure from the throne.”
"If, after learning my 'secret,' your choice to stand on my side remains unchanged."
"...That proves you are qualified to see her with my permission."
Her expression was somber.
"Little Shirley doesn't want to see anyone but me. The birth of Lochina was also a gift I gave her. Even so, I can't guarantee Lochina will cheer her up..."
"Hehe, a vampire princess who is a mediator."
She looked at Ludwig.
"...Although you have the role of a mediator, I don't expect you to help her...help the only one in my life."
"Even if I allow you to see her, it's only to confirm that you won't harm her."
Ludwig was slightly dissatisfied:
"I'm being looked down upon again. Humph. But since you can easily take me down, I have no reason to go against you."
...
Pfft!
As they were talking, the princess in front suddenly pounced on someone.
"Phew, Xiao Li! Sorry to keep you waiting—"
She was unusually excited, her previous gloom gone, and she hugged the girl in front of her tightly.
It turned out to be Miss Ye, who had a rather bad temper. She had been waiting here and was immediately hugged by Lingxi.
"Xiaoqi, there are other people here, this isn't right—"
Ye Liuli felt an itch on her neck from the blonde girl rubbing against her, and struggled to push her away.
"Okay, okay, what's wrong with you!"
Lingxi leaned against her and said:
"Hmph, I have to pay attention to class and etiquette when I'm out. I can't get along with Xiao Li like before. It's so suffocating. I feel like Xiao Li is distancing herself from me."
Ye Liuli glanced away slightly.
"Distance...no. It's just that I feel a lot of things have changed."
She sighed.
"It seems like we can never go back to the way things were before."
Lingxi shook her head:
"No matter what happens, you'll always be an important person to me."
She held the black-haired girl tightly, a smile playing on her lips, and whispered softly.
"I'm really happy that you chose to come and be with me."
"With your kind gesture, no matter how much time passes, we will always be best friends."
Ye Liuli looked at her profile beneath her blonde hair and couldn't help but snort.
"Xiaoqi is always full of sweet talk. Alright, there are people watching; is the Princess's dignity about to crumble?"
The blonde girl reluctantly let go of her and walked forward.
"Then Xiao Li will lead the way. Today, we'll recount these old stories..."
"Sever it with a single stroke."
...
...
...
Click——
The dimly lit cell door was gently opened, and a group of people stepped inside.
"Are we really going to do this, Koshi?"
"Heh, if I don't make a clean break, I'll never be complete. Little Hilly won't be happy if she comes back."
...
"Wake up," Ye Liuli called to the prisoner.
The moment he looked up, Yin Shang confirmed his identity. Even though he was incredibly thin and haggard, Yin Shang recognized him at a glance:
"This is the person, but this person... is filled with an evil aura."
The prisoner's voice was hoarse, and his hostile gaze swept over Ye Liuli before finally settling on Lingxi.
"You... imposter! Xiao Li, let me go... I want—"
Bang!
Lingxi kicked him hard with her heel.
“Shut up, imposter. Did I give you permission to speak?” she smiled.
"Give me the Holy Sword, human. I, the prince, will end all of this."
Yin Shang said, "Wait, Your Highness, you still haven't told us what's going on!"
