The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 60

After walking along the passage for a while, the dim light finally illuminated the entire castle hall ahead.

The main staircase leading to the second floor and the throne room stood quietly in the center of the hall, but the busy vampires who used to walk back and forth in the hall had all disappeared... not even the servants were in sight.

Yin Shang said, "When I came here last time, there were at least a few servants watching me closely."

Ludwig rubbed her shoulders. "Ugh, I'm getting goosebumps. Looks like something really did happen in the castle."

"I can forget about manners now. Reinhardt, deploy the barrier for me," Yin Shang thought to himself.

"Master, shouldn't we provide protection for the two ladies?"

"The Holy Light Barrier might backfire on them. Just deploy it for me first."

"Yes."

...

Ludwig said, "Since we don't sense any ambush around, let's go straight to the Princess's office to find someone. Coco, please lead the way."

She took Ruo Keke's hand, gesturing for her to lead the way.

"What's wrong, Coco? You seem a little distracted."

Coco shook her head: "Ah...! It's nothing, Miss. I was just thinking, should I go and retrieve my scythe first..."

Ludwig said, "Oh, I almost forgot, Coco is even more powerful with the scythe. Shall we go?"

"Yes, young lady. The scythe is in the castle's forge. Please come with me."

Yin Shang nodded in agreement.

...

三人沿一<零<+%~$%五//酒${{=%{着阶梯往上走了片刻，忽然，在身后的殷加<1>*0~1<7<4>#5{~9=/=9&8熵察觉出了一些不对劲。

"I've felt something's off, Miss Coco."

Coco turned her head away coldly.

"What's the matter?"

Yin Shang said, "You just said you wanted to get the scythe from the castle's forge. But forges are usually located on the first floor or even underground for the convenience of materials and finished products, to maximize efficiency, right?"

Ludwig laughed and said, "What's so strange about it? Maybe it's located on the second floor so that it's easier to ventilate the exhaust fumes."

Yin Shang pondered, "But..."

"Alright, human, stop overthinking. Coco's been here so long, she wouldn't... oh!"

puff-

At the corner of the stairs, Ludwig collided head-on with something that rushed towards her.

"Huh?!"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be... the silver-haired girl who had been kidnapped!

“Lochina!” Ludwig blurted out.

...

"Wow!"

The girl screamed, her bright red eyes blinking in terror.

Ludwig quickly hugged her:

"Alright, alright, don't be afraid, little Lochina..."

Lochina choked back tears: "Sister..."

Ludwig reassured her, "Alright, alright, don't be afraid. Where did the blonde woman who brought you here go?"

The silver-haired little girl shook her head: "I don't know, sister. There's an uncle who's been chasing me."

"uncle?!"

Ludwig looked up and saw a figure slowly emerging from the depths of the dark corridor.

He didn't even make a sound...!

He wore an ornate vampire suit, and his thick, short, gold and white hair made him instantly recognizable.

"Torre!" Yin Shang exclaimed.

"What, is this how you treat your guests? Even if you don't welcome me, this... uh, your princess is visiting in person, and you don't even send anyone to greet her?"

After Yin Shang finished his probing remarks, Torre's face remained completely expressionless.

"Woo..."

"Ugh-"

When Lochina saw Torre, she was terrified and huddled tightly in Ludwig's arms.

Torre raised his head calmly, his deep blood-red eyes scanning the group of people in front of him.

"Ah, I was indeed inadequate in my hospitality regarding Her Highness's unexpected visit, but I suppose you all bear some responsibility for failing to inform our council of her arrival beforehand?"

He looked at Yin Shang.

"As for this church knight, do you have any convincing reason for brazenly barging into the castle with our princess?"

Yin Shang sneered and pointed at Yasin.

"There's no need to play dumb now. This young lady already knows everything, so let's speak frankly."

"Yasin Torre, are you lying to us? What I've investigated is completely contrary to the 'clues' you gave me. And this little girl who was kidnapped by the Princess is here, still trying to escape your pursuit..."

Yin Shang then pointed at Luo Qina.

"Lord Torre, what is your explanation?!"

...

...

Torre coldly raised his head and took a step forward. Yin Shang couldn't help but step forward as well, blocking Ludwig's path.

“In the past, I might have said, ‘I have no obligation to tell you all these secrets,’ even though you are very close to the truth.”

"And now... this is the only answer I can give you—"

A flash of purple light streaked across Torre's blood-red eyes.

"A church knight, still harboring malicious intentions, is attempting to investigate Her Majesty the Princess's personal privacy, which has become a significant threat to the vampires."

"The Princess has ordered the arrest of the intruders."

Yin Shang gritted his teeth: "I knew it!!"

He drew his holy sword and stood before him.

"Miss Maid, lend a hand, we—"

...

...

"The Queen is eternal..."

"The vampire race will never perish."

boom! !

Yin Shang's head was hit hard by something.

The last thing he saw before he lost consciousness was a strange purple glint in the girl's eyes...

And, the only remaining trace of cold in her eyes, was ruthlessness.

Ludwig's scream echoed in Yin Shang's ears as his consciousness faded away.

"Coco, what's wrong? What are you doing—"

No, Coco, ah—"

puff!

"Maid sister, it hurts, it hurts... Ouch!"

puff!

The girls' screams abruptly ceased after a series of commotions.

Chapter 66 The Young Lady Doesn't Want to Admit Defeat

"..."

"Ahem...!"

When Yin Shang woke up, he was chained to a dark, gloomy cell, where there was no sunlight.

With his hands and feet bound by shackles that restrict supernatural powers, it was impossible for him to break free by brute force.

"I just felt...that maid...cough cough!"

Yin Shang's head was still throbbing, making it difficult for him to organize his thoughts effectively.

"She was a maid in this castle, so it's no surprise she turned against us now! That dim-witted young lady shouldn't have blindly trusted her..."

hum-

Suddenly, a golden light shone, and a ball of light transformed into a cat in front of Yin Shang.

Although the sword was taken away, Reinhardt had already separated from the sword and hidden inside Yin Shang's body.

Because of its small size and low energy consumption, Reinhardt can exist independently of its physical form for extended periods. As long as there is a sufficient supply of Holy Light energy, it can continue to exist independently of its physical form.

"Meow."

"Reinhardt...!"

"Master, I'll go look around for a key that can get you out."

Yin Shang shook his head and said, "Don't go, Reinhardt. Save your energy... If you disappear, that would be—"

"It's alright, Master. If we don't fight, the energy in your body can sustain me for a week."

At the moment, Yin Shang had no better options; he couldn't just sit here and wait to die. At Reinhardt's request, he had no choice but to agree.

"Then go. Be careful, and if there's anything that's worth noting, tell me telepathically."

"As ordered."

It easily passed through the iron fence, looked around, and disappeared around the corner.

...

...

Meanwhile, in another part of the castle, in a room in the upper area.

Unlike Yin Shang, the silver-haired girl didn't have a headache; she woke up naturally as if she had just taken a nap.

"..."

"Where is this?"

She lay on an extremely luxurious bed, which, judging from its magnificent and abundant materials, was undoubtedly a typical aristocratic princess bed.

The room resembled a meticulously furnished young girl's boudoir. It was fully equipped with everything from a dressing table and a full-length mirror to a wardrobe, and even the dimensions were custom-made for her.

"What...!"

She belatedly recalled being knocked unconscious by Ruo Keke, and was shocked. She quickly checked herself over to make sure she was still in good health and had no missing limbs. She was still the same Ludwig.

She rolled out of bed and tried pushing and pulling the vintage door a few times:

"Open the door! Open the door! Is anyone home?"

"Coco! Torre! Yin Shang!"

She called out everyone she could think of, then gritted her teeth in anger:

"Yang Lingxi! You wicked woman! Come out here!"
