I am the heroine's godfather!

As Estia gazed at the undulating mines in the distance, a black bat suddenly flew over. The palm-sized blood bat hung upside down on the railing and spat out a rolled-up letter: "The Vampire Royal Court has discovered something unusual. Come quickly."

"It doesn't seem like Lilith's work; it seems more like Lamia's."

After reading the letter, Loran said, "Shall we go?" Estia looked at Loran and asked, "Are we going?"

"Go ahead, Nid won't do much in the short term."

Loran thought for a moment and said. Diana nodded as well: "We will also be more vigilant about Ned and keep a close eye on his every move."

Lestinger tilted her head: "They're leaving already?"

"Yes, we still need to go and check on Lilith."

"alright."

Lestinger shook the flask: "Aren't you going to have a drink with me before you leave?"

Diana sighed, "My lord, these are turbulent times. You would be better off drinking less."

"This little bit of alcohol won't get you drunk at all, and it won't cause any problems. Don't worry."

"grown ups!"

"Tsk... Fine, fine, I won't drink it."

Although I've said it many times, I still have to say it now: who is really the ruler of Satan's court?

"I'll arrange for Flying Dragon to take you there."

Lester continued to look at Loran, and just as Estia was about to refuse, Loran nodded: "Okay, let's do it this way."

"why?"

Estia was puzzled: "Wouldn't it be faster if we went ourselves?"

"But our disguised identity is that of guests of the Vampire Royal Court."

Loran explained, "As guests sent by the vampires to discuss cooperation, the Satanic Court naturally has the responsibility to send us back. If we go back on our own, Ned might inevitably have some suspicions."

"I see."

Chapter 205 Lilith and Lamia

The Vampire Royal Court is located to the west of the Satan Royal Court. Loran and Estia flew over the Demon King's City on a flying dragon, and then flew westward until they arrived at the Vampire Royal Court.

The Vampire Royal Court's architectural style is predominantly black and red, exuding an elegant feel, much like the Fallen Angel Royal Court. However, compared to the Fallen Angel Royal Court, the Vampire Royal Court has a darker style.

A faint floral fragrance filled the air before the Dragon Tower. As Loran and Estia leaped off the dragon's back, a group of blood servants cowered in the shadows, bowing respectfully. The head steward trembled as he presented a silver tray containing two cups of crimson wine: "W-Welcome... Lady Lilith... We... We've been waiting for you in the garden..."

Loran and Estia exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat helpless. They wondered how Lilith had introduced them, making these blood servants so fearful.

As mentioned before, the Vampire Royal Court has a strong sense of hierarchy and a very strict order. Unlike the Satan Royal Court, the throne of the Vampire Royal Court has always been passed around among the leaders of several families. These families are collectively known as the "Holy Families," and Lilith's family is one of them.

But now, Lilith's family is reduced to just her.

As for why this happened...

Ms. Lamia advised against asking questions that shouldn't be asked. Lilith, as the queen of the vampires, held a noble position, possessed pure blood, and had incredibly high combat power; therefore, her subordinates held her in the highest esteem, even harboring some fear.

Only Lilith's closest maids knew her true identity.

Crimson roses climbed the black iron fence. Lilith crouched behind a tombstone in the corner of the garden, her pure white lace dress stained with mud. She clutched a tattered book tightly, her fluffy white hair hanging messily in front of her eyes, looking as if she had just woken up. She muttered to herself, "Oh no... I overslept, I didn't even have time to get ready... Ugh, why did Lorian arrive so quickly?"

Estia: So?

"...Lilith?"

"Eek!" The vampire queen jumped up like a startled rabbit, the sheet music falling with a "plop" into the crimson pool of blood beside her. "I-I'm so sorry! I-I-I'll go get some fresh snacks right away—"

Loran used magic to retrieve the old book, catching a glimpse of the crooked handwriting on the cover: "One Hundred Social Skills Every Socially Afraid Person Should Read."

Um, does this kind of thing actually work?

"It's a pretty good book."

He suppressed a laugh and handed it over: "Also, is the reception room of the vampire royal court... behind the tombstone?"

He glanced at the tombstone, its words written in scarlet, the name illegible.

Lilith's face flushed crimson, her fingers almost twisting her skirt into a pretzel: "B-because it's quieter here..."

Estia sighed, her lips twitching: "Your vampires' hospitality... is truly unique."

She didn't know much about Lilith, and her first impression of this abstract ruler of the vampire court was just that of the madwoman she had seen on the battlefield ten years ago.

After getting to know him better, I found that this guy was really... hard to evaluate.

Anyway, this was the first time Estia had ever seen a ruler like this.

--------------

In the drawing room of the pitch-black castle, Lilith huddled in her seat, covering half her face with an old book: "Um, Lamia said there are strange things in the Blood Pool."

"Blood pool?" Loran raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, it is the sacred ground of the vampires. Enemies killed by vampires will have their essence blood extracted and injected into the blood pool to baptize brave warriors and enhance their bloodline."

Lilith explained, then suddenly let out a cold laugh: "What a disgusting tradition."

"Ugh, Lamia, don't suddenly take my body away!"

"Heh, go stand over there."

"Hmm...why is this happening?"

Watching Loran and Estia argue with their dual personalities, one can't help but sigh, "I've really seen something like this in my lifetime."

"The blood pool has shown unusual activity."

After a hard struggle (which wasn't actually any), Lamia took the body from Lilith, crossed her arms, and explained, "It seems there are restless spirits."

"That's pretty normal, isn't it?"

Loran retorted, "After all, this is filled with the blood of your enemies. It's normal for their spirits to feel dissatisfied."

"Ah, this has happened before."

Lamia squinted and said, "But the Blood Pool's agitation has a cycle. Unless a great war breaks out, it usually only agitates once every ten years. The Blood Pool just agitated last year, and I cleared out a batch of those dead souls. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be this fast."

"You mean, someone's up to no good?"

"Correct."

Lamia sneered, "And most likely it was those guys from the Holy Family who were behind this."

"Forehead......"

Loran wanted to say, "Aren't you also a member of the Holy Family?" But after thinking about it, he realized that the Holy Family had taken the initiative and was already invincible in Zaun. Taking a selfie was like taking a family photo, which was indeed different from other Holy Families.

"Lilith is asleep."

Lamia suddenly spoke up, saying, "That tomb outside..."

"what?"

"The tombstone where Lilith was hiding when you first arrived."

Lamia slowly spoke: "Next is Lilith's mother."

Loran blinked: "You mean...?"

“Back then, Lilith’s mother was an outcast in the family.”

Lamia sighed: "In a family that emphasizes ruthlessness and competition, Lilith's mother did not want her child to live such a life, but hoped that she could live a peaceful life. Unfortunately, being born into a holy family is a sin in itself."

"Children of the Holy Family must fight each other when they come of age. The winner is honored, while the loser is demoted to a collateral branch and is only fit to be a servant to the main branch."

"That's why children are trained from a young age to be weapons of killing."

"Lilith's mother didn't want to see her child live such a life, so she took her away early on. Lilith and her mother lived a secluded life in a little-known village, where they lived a life that was not wealthy, but very happy."

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.

Lamia narrowed her eyes: "Lilith's father eventually found them and forcibly took them back."

“Lilith is very talented, so she always ranks at the top in the family’s exercises.”

"But Lilith didn't like this kind of life, she didn't like fighting, so I was born."

“I will take Lilith’s place and sweep away everything she hates.”

Lamia narrowed her eyes: "And the Holy Family is one of the things I will have to eliminate sooner or later."

Chapter 206 Is this your true purpose, Lamia!

On the terrace of the dark castle, the blood moon shone. Lamia leaned against the railing, her fingertips twirling a scarlet scythe.

"During that time, only Lilith's mother was with her, and she always liked to hide behind her mother."

Lamia suddenly spoke up: "But for the children of the Holy Family, this is a sign of weakness. The children of the Holy Family should be strong, ruthless, and cruel."

"You should be like me."

"So, Lilith's mother died, right in front of her, and was executed for 'affecting the family's development'."

"Ha, what an all-powerful charge, entirely determined by those guys' one-sided story."

“That was the first time Lilith pleaded with me. She said she wanted revenge.”

"So, we spent fifty years becoming sixth-order members, and then we killed everyone in the family."

Lamia's words carried a strong stench of blood.

“I killed my father with the execution platform, and I assassinated twelve family elders one by one. Then, I sacrificed everyone in the family, and I stepped into the seventh rank by stepping on their blood.”

Lamia gave a somewhat cruel smile, while Loran was puzzled: "Your family, could it be, doesn't even have a sixth-tier member?"

"No, in fact, six of the twelve elders in the family are at the sixth level."

"But they are just old codgers waiting to die in their coffins, they pose no threat to me whatsoever."

"I see."

Loran nodded, then said, "But why are you telling us all this?"

"Because I want to wipe out all the remaining Holy Families."

Lamia laughed, the crimson moonlight shining on her face, making her appearance exceptionally cruel: "None will be spared."

Loran and Estia exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. But upon reflection, it wasn't entirely unexpected. Perhaps in Lamia's view, the Holy Family should have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago.

“Lucifer just happened to give me this opportunity, and an excuse to wipe out these guys.”

"But how can you be sure that all the holy families were involved in this?"

Whether they were involved or not is irrelevant.

Lamia laughed: "The important thing is that I, and most of the demons, believe they were involved."

It seems this was just Lamia's excuse; whether these guys were colluding with the evil god was completely irrelevant to her.

"But first, I need to host a banquet."

"what?"

Loran and Estia were a little confused by Lamia's sudden change of topic. Lamia explained, "Your current disguise is that of vampires. I need to give you a reason to appear by my side."

"Let me think... how about the male concubine of the vampire king and his sister?"

Estia was silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out, and a gust of wind howled and condensed into a bow and arrow in her hand.

“你，什么意思每^日.发！书，群【6`5,0/5^0”2*3>3.8】？”

“自然是字面意思每^日.发！书，群【6`5,0/5^0”2*3>3.8】。”

Lamia smiled faintly: "Isn't this the most suitable identity? Otherwise, the guys from the Holy Family would definitely investigate your background."

“We can change our identity, for example, become a fallen angel.”

Estia narrowed her eyes and said, but Lamia said, "But the identity you used with Lestinger earlier was that of a special envoy sent by the Vampire Royal Court, right?"

Estia's expression turned somewhat grim. Lamia continued, "What would these guys think if they found out that the vampire envoy who left Satan's court couldn't be found at all?"

"...Lilith probably won't accept it, and it would also affect her reputation."

Loran said softly, feeling that this was not the right time for him to speak, but if he didn't speak up soon, something really might go wrong.

"Ah, her thoughts are not important. Besides, what makes you think Lilith would have a good reputation?"
