She sang songs from her distant homeland, closed her eyes, and danced with abandon in this small attic—
Dancing clear shadow, like in the world.
The girl's burgundy skirt spun, rose, and fell with her dance steps; her high heels made rhythmic, crisp sounds on the stone floor.
Her slender waist led her feet to gracefully spin, her long, silvery-white hair fluttering in the wind, shimmering dazzlingly in the moonlight.
The stars and moonlight seemed to shine only for her at that moment.
"Ah...my beloved..."
"Please hold me in your arms..."
"May we be together forever..."
"Walking hand in hand, forever..."
Her melodious voice, as beautiful as heavenly music, was filled with her unexpressed longing.
Her deep and intense love was transformed into musical notes that flowed from her lips, moving all who heard and watched the dance.
The dance music from a thousand years ago, now there is no one left to dance with her.
as always.
This beautiful yet poignant dance music only reluctantly came to a close when her singing ended and the heel of her shoe struck the last note.
...
The breathtaking scene captivated Ruo Keke, and she didn't snap out of her daze until the silver-haired girl came close to her.
"cocoa?"
The silver-haired girl tilted her head and smiled at her.
The silver-haired girl stood before her with a familiar address, a familiar voice, and a familiar appearance, making it even harder for her to come to her senses.
"What a nice view..."
Coco wiped her eyes, because the silver-haired girl's dance was so stunning that she couldn't help but shed tears.
After all, judging from her appearance alone, the girl in front of her was the young lady she had sworn to follow to the death.
She had long known that Ludwig was an unparalleled beauty, but she never expected that when she danced, she would be so breathtakingly beautiful and stunning.
It's hard to say whether it was because Hilliot danced so well or Ludwig's natural talent was so extraordinary, but there's no doubt that what gave her this shock was the elegant and beautiful silver-haired girl's body in front of her.
That carefree young lady was never this elegant. At least not in front of Ruo Keke.
If Coco couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart, the young lady was really too careless and wasting her unparalleled beauty.
Coco sincerely hopes that the real Queen Ludwig in the future will be as graceful and poised as the silver-haired girl in front of her.
...
"Your Majesty... no, Your Majesty Ludwig. What kind of dance were you performing?"
Ludwig smiled gently:
"It was taught to me by my mother that it is a duet dance to be performed with the one I love."
"Over the years, I've grown accustomed to being alone, so I adapted it into a solo dance that can be performed by one person..."
She looked up at the bright, full moon in the sky.
"But after I made a vow of eternal love with her, the dance was changed back to a duet."
"My beloved invites me to dance under the moonlight every year at this time, because today is the day we are united in marriage and vow to spend eternity together..."
She smiled, her face filled with the happiness of recalling the past.
"Soon, I'll be able to see her again..."
...
"Your Majesty Ludwig, please don't say such things."
If Coco takes her hand.
"Princess Lingxi would certainly not want you to go to 'see her' so hastily."
...
The silver-haired girl still smiled, but this time her smile carried that familiar weariness and indifference.
"We made a promise to spend eternity together."
"She left before me. If I don't go to be with her, I'll be the one breaking the eternal covenant..."
In the silver-haired girl's eyes, a despair that seemed to have no will to live was about to burst forth.
She simply hid this despair behind her gentleness, suppressing it so that it wouldn't erupt and engulf her.
Because she still had a deal to make with Ludwig to fulfill, she couldn't let her emotions overwhelm her reason here.
There is nothing left in this world that I cherish.
...
Coco gently shook her head.
No, it still exists.
She turned slightly to the side, and the small figure that had been hiding not far behind her was revealed.
"Princess Lingxi has left you one last gift."
“Your daughter, Lochina.”
Chapter 144 Flesh and Blood
"Hey...hey? When did I...when was I discovered..."
Lochina emerged from behind the cover; it appeared she had followed Ruo Keke up.
It seems this little guy has been left out these past few days and has something on his mind, which is why he secretly followed them here.
Coco smiled and patted her head.
"Little princess, the skirt of your princess dress is so big, how could you possibly hide it in such a place?"
...
Standing to the side, "Ludwig" realized that she seemed to have not exchanged a single word with the little princess.
Although he had long known that she was the daughter born to Lingxi and himself, he had been immersed in the grief of losing Lingxi and had been busy with political affairs during this time... Therefore, he had never spoken a word to this blood relative who had returned to the castle with him.
"Should I call you Queen Mother, or... or Sister Lulu?"
Lochina looked timidly at the silver-haired girl in front of her.
"I know you and the real Lulu have switched bodies. But I still don't know how to address you..."
Ludwig smiled and said, "Whatever you like."
Upon hearing this, the adorable little princess immediately put aside her doubts and threw herself into the silver-haired girl's arms.
"Okay, Mom."
This brief address instantly made the silver-haired girl's heart flutter with joy.
Only then did she truly realize that the vibrant life in her arms was her own flesh and blood, belonging to Lingxi.
"Mom...?"
Ludwig stood there, stunned, and involuntarily hugged the little girl in her arms.
The warmth emanating from Lochina was surprisingly comforting.
[Little Hilly...]
【What's wrong? 】
Do you... want children?
【What did you say?! You idiot, Lingxi!】
I'm serious, okay? If one day I can't be with you anymore, our child can take my place...
Don't say things like that. We'll always be together... forever.
Of course we'll always be together... but, life is unpredictable, little Shirley...
Memories flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern, making her increasingly unable to control herself.
"It's...my child..."
At this moment, the silver-haired girl's heart was filled with the warmth from her deceased friend and her daughter.
For a woman, a living, breathing child is enough to become her greatest weakness and the object to which she pours all her maternal love.
But Hiliot is not an ordinary girl you can find anywhere. She is a vampire queen who has never considered continuing her lineage for thousands of years because she is afraid that her descendants will suffer as she has and that they will become her weakness.
She knew perfectly well that she couldn't lose her composure in front of her child, but she couldn't control herself and hugged little Lochina tightly, bursting into tears.
Because Lochina is not only her child... but also the last gift left to her by the departed spirit.
The gift was originally meant to be brought to her, to make her feel as happy and uplifted as she is now.
But now, it has become the only spiritual sustenance that Lingxi left her.
...
Lochina, completely oblivious to the silver-haired girl's emotions, nuzzled her face affectionately once more.
"Hmm, she feels exactly like Lulu, but also kind of different..."
Lochina's little brain naturally couldn't understand it.
"But that's not important."
She raised her head, her bright eyes looking at the silver-haired girl with longing and reluctance.
"Lochina has something important to tell her mother."
The silver-haired girl was taken aback: "What is it?"
The little vampire princess lowered her head, as if organizing her thoughts.
"Uh-huh..."
Then, she firmly raised her head and said:
"Mom, please don't leave Lochina, okay?"
Her little face was also full of sadness at this moment.
"Queen Lingxi died protecting us."
"She used to tell me so many things about my mother."
"The Queen said that Mother Hiriote is a gentle yet strong person, but she is very, very ill. Only by taking Lochina to see her will she recover..."
"But Lochina saw what happened later. Lochina and everyone else couldn't make Mom better, so they could only temporarily leave her in Lulu's body to help Lulu become the new queen. Lochina knows all of this."
Lochina held the silver-haired girl's hand tightly.
"Mom, everyone will definitely find a way to cure you..."
She threw herself onto the silver hair
In the arms of a young girl.
"I heard everything. Please... don't leave me..."
"Queen Lingxi is gone, and I...don't want to lose my only remaining family member!"
...
These words were like a dagger piercing his chest, brutally awakening Hilliot's heart, which had been numbed by despair.
Lingxi died trying to keep her alive... How could she betray Lingxi's wish and follow her in death?
If she were to succumb to despair and choose to end her life...
Even if the vampire clan has successors, Lochina will never have a mother again.
Lochina will live a lonely life in this world forever, just like her pitiful self, as an orphan of the vampires.
