"Humph."
Ludwig leaned close to Coco's ear and whispered.
"As long as Coco doesn't move around, I won't make a sound."
"I've heard some interesting news from Ye Liuli."
Coco asked, "What did you say?"
"For example... news that Coco secretly did something behind my back."
If Coco didn't remember for a moment, she paused for a few seconds before suddenly realizing it.
"Young Miss, you mean...I'll use your blood..."
She argued.
“Young Miss, you should be able to understand me. After all, I came here in the name of the Council to monitor and protect you. At the time, I didn't think it was a big deal…”
"Actually, I also have reservations about this, and I was wondering if I should tell you. If you're upset about this... I'm very sorry—"
"Well!"
Ludwig covered Ruco's mouth.
"Shh..."
She smiled slightly.
"Coco is so cute."
"I'm not that petty. I just heard about it and came to Coco to confirm if it was true. I don't care at all."
She suddenly leaned close to Ruokeke's ear again.
"...Of course I care."
Snap——
Ludwig lightly nibbled on Coco's neck and began her hearty meal.
"This is punishment. It's a little punishment from Coco for me secretly doing those little tricks..."
"Coco promised me she'd become my personal maid. I can't tolerate her siding with someone else, you know."
Coco felt that this usually carefree young lady seemed to have changed a lot after stepping into the snow mountain.
He's no longer as "naive" as before.
...
This seems to be her true self, a "serious mode" that she almost never shows.
She became assertive and calm, yet retained her former frivolous and wicked nature.
"Quiet, Coco. If you wake up Lochina, there will be further punishment, you know?"
"Then please be gentler—"
"Quiet."
"Uuuuuu——"
Ludwig held the girl beneath her tightly. The girl was blushing uncontrollably from the excitement caused by being sucked blood, and because she couldn't make a sound, her face turned red and her mind was so confused that she almost fainted.
Therefore, she was completely unaware that Miss Ludwig, who was sucking her own blood, had quietly and gently embraced her.
Ludwig was deeply affected by Lingxi's death. The poignant scene of Ye Liuli holding her body and weeping uncontrollably remained in her mind.
...
"Alas...we vampires...we are both powerful and fragile..."
"Both powerful enough to claim himself as the king of all demons, and fragile enough to be shattered by the touch of light."
At this moment, the silver-haired vampire princess sighed inwardly.
"They were much stronger than me and Coco, but they still ended up being separated forever."
"Although it's a bit ominous to think like this... Coco and I have to witness the end of all this together, and go back to our old lives, wasting every day in decadence."
"Saying things like 'step over my dead body first' is so irresponsible, humph."
Ludwig held the unconscious maid tightly, gently stroking the hair behind her ear.
"Coco, witness the future with your own eyes..."
"I will create a new world... where vampire mediators are no longer needed."
Chapter 130 Old Friends, Old Country, Stories
Nighttime, the garden on the south side of the Eternal Pure Land.
Yin Shang and Solid, that silly couple, walked over yawning, while Ludwig and Ruo Keke followed closely behind them, holding Lochina's hand.
Everyone gradually arrived. In the garden, Ye Liuli had been waiting for quite some time.
Ye Liuli pushed a beautifully decorated wheelchair and nodded silently to the crowd.
The silver-haired girl in the wheelchair—Queen Hilliot—reclined against the back of the chair, her lifeless eyes staring blankly ahead.
She remained as before, unable to speak, unable to move, and even reacted very weakly to anything around her.
Her five senses... have almost been lost.
Ye Liuli couldn't bear to look at her any longer, because it was heartbreaking.
Although the black dress covered almost her entire body, her pale face still revealed her helpless situation.
...
"Why is Her Majesty the Queen here too?" Ruo Keke asked.
Ye Liuli said, "Because we are going to a place today. Although it is also located in the Eternal Pure Land, it is not located in this canyon. Follow me, its entrance is deep in the garden."
She calmly pushed the wheelchair, leading the group deeper into the area.
"The journey isn't short. Let me tell you a story first."
"A story that spans...1,500 years."
...

An ancient Eastern proverb says: "Beauty is a source of trouble."
But they cannot decide whether their appearance is good or bad; in many, many times, they cannot even decide their own lives.
The sixth century in Europe was a time when many princes and nobles declared themselves kings and waged war against each other.
This was not only the case in the Germanic region; for thousands of years, the whole of Europe had been plagued by constant wars, fragmented power, frequent conflicts, and widespread suffering among the people.
Countless small states have risen and fallen in the blink of an eye, disappearing into the long river of history; those that have made their mark on history are undoubtedly the best of their time.
In that land later known as Germania, there was a small city-state that had been peaceful and prosperous for decades.
Its name has been lost to the dust of history, but a thousand years later, how many people can still remember its name, which is now impossible to verify?
"The Kingdom of Mona".
The Kingdom of Mona ended with only one ruler, whose founding monarch died for his country when the city fell, but that's another story.
Decades after the kingdom was established amidst the conflicts of powerful nations, the king, busy with diplomacy and politics, finally had a daughter in his old age when he was over fifty.
At that time, the whole country celebrated, a grand banquet was held in the royal city, and envoys from various countries came one after another to offer their congratulations. That day was the happiest day in the old king's heart.
The king and queen were both of pure Germanic descent, therefore their daughter, the princess, was...
A peerless beauty, as if a divine messenger had descended to earth.
Her appearance and figure were not only so perfect, like a work of art created by God, but she also had long, flawless golden hair, making her the envy of all girls her age even in her innocent teenage years. Her intelligence, gentleness, and understanding were the fundamental reasons why she was able to win the hearts of the nation.
But no one could have predicted that when she reached marriageable age, her unparalleled charm and excellence would bring about her own demise and that of the entire kingdom.
...
Simply because she refused the marriage proposal from the neighboring country's prince, that neighboring country, whose territory and national strength were dozens of times greater than the Kingdom of Mona, found a diplomatic pretext to easily conquer and destroy the Kingdom of Mona when the time was ripe several years later.
The capital fell overnight, and the country was destroyed.
The princess, who had fled under an assumed name, fell into the hands of the hunters, who had by then become an "empire," several years later.
As the saying goes, "beauty is a curse."
Whether they were once subjects of her kingdom or the empire, they all saw her as a demon who brought war, as the cause of everything—
The term "femme fatale" is nothing more than a fabricated term created by a true demon blinded by desire to cover up their ugly and malicious intentions.
But by then, no one cared about the truth anymore.
As mentioned at the beginning, the virtuous, intelligent, and determined princess of the Kingdom of Mona cannot decide her own life.
She never yielded, but in the endless revenge and torment, she lost her golden hair and turned back to her original silver-white color;
Her noble will was also worn down, and in the end, after endless torment, she even lost the ability to cry out in pain, becoming a pathetic walking corpse.
...
Finally, just as she was about to be engulfed by the flames of the execution ground, endless darkness chose her, devoured her soul, and filled her body.
She transformed into a complete monster, becoming the "Progenitor Blood Clan".
The shadow of evil twisted her consciousness, causing her to become indifferent to all living beings; her desire for revenge was amplified infinitely, and she embarked on a long path of killing.
Human desires can turn humanity itself into monsters...
It can also turn an innocent girl into a monster.
The kind and benevolent human princess was completely swallowed by the shadows, bringing her life of more than ten years to an end.
And from now on, her eternal and lonely years as the "Vampire Queen" have only just begun.
...
...
...
"Alright, I don't need you to remind me!"
The vampire queen blushed and pointed coquettishly at the blonde girl in the purple dress in front of her.
"I've said it countless times, I am the Vampire Queen, Siriote! I'm not some..."
The blonde girl smiled and came closer, taking her restless hand in hers.
“But as I said before… I’m going to go with you to find your father’s remains.”
“I’ve arranged everything. Vampire affairs can now be handled by the council. We’re going on our ‘honeymoon’ after the wedding anyway, so why not take the opportunity to look for King Mona?”
The blonde girl gripped her hand tightly, their fingers intertwined.
"Little Hilly...don't you want to put an end to this thousand-year-old saga?"
...
The vampire queen pondered for a moment, hesitated repeatedly, and finally nodded reluctantly.
"Hmph, go ahead then. But I don't think there's any chance of finding him at all."
"If we find it... I mean, if we find it, you won't bother me about it anymore, right? You silly Lingxi. Then, I can truly let go of those unpleasant memories of the past."
She smiled slightly and nestled into Lingxi's arms.
"And then I can truly become a pure vampire queen, and be with you..."
...
...
...
The snow-covered mountain path outside the canyon was bitterly cold.
Ye Liuli turned around and sighed softly.
