I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"Well, welcome to the inner castle of the vampires. This is my home. Come on, I'll take you inside and have breakfast."

"Uh-huh."

At this time, Melchis was still a little dazed. After all, this was the first time she had seen such a castle-like building. It was completely different in style from the elves' tree houses.

Even the plants planted in the inner castle courtyard were of many species she had never seen before. After all, they had not yet reached the territory of the moon elves, so these night-viewing plants were naturally invisible.

"your Highness."

As soon as we entered the door, there was a maid waiting there. When she saw us coming, she bowed respectfully.

"Please follow me, breakfast is ready for you."

In this case, it can only be said that no one knows a daughter better than her mother. Although Eve did not mention breakfast last night, Elizabeth still prepared it for them. After all, based on her understanding of Eve, her daughter would definitely not give up the opportunity to come back for breakfast.

Led by the maid, the group walked around the inner castle for a few times and finally arrived at the small restaurant. Various exquisite breakfasts were prepared on the table and could be enjoyed at any time. There were even a lot of biscuits specially prepared for Ilvia to replenish her stock.

Since biscuits are only sold in big cities in the elves' side, Ilvia's biscuit reserves have recently decreased a lot, and she is now in a state of deficit. After all, Eve and Istina are not good at baking biscuits. The finished product is either a pile of coke or a small brick. If you bite it, your teeth will probably be knocked off. It is probably the kind that can be used to build walls.

"Okay, Shizu, just come and get whatever you want to eat. If you don't know what it is, just ask me."

Compared to their usual simple breakfast, Eve finally felt the feeling of luxury again.

Hmm...I really wish I could have such a breakfast every day, otherwise she would just change her destination and go home to lie down.

As for Melchis, who was enjoying these delicacies for the first time, her little hands were constantly stuffing various breakfasts into her mouth like a cute little hamster.

While stuffing his mouth with food, he would occasionally open his mouth to ask Eve questions.

"Gulp, um~ Eve, Eve, this is delicious. What is it? Can you make it?"

"This is called Snow-Coated Bean Paste. I know how to make it, but it's a bit too complicated, so I probably won't be able to eat it during my trip."

To be precise, this dish is the recipe provided by Eve, which comes from the memory of the previous life and is specifically restored by the palace maid.

After all, she was too lazy to beat the egg whites, and even with the help of magic, she was still too lazy to bother. She couldn't make this slightly more delicate dessert.

Besides, as a princess of a country, she can't just hang around in the kitchen every day.

But later she heard that this thing was learned by the beast tribe and turned into a very popular dessert.

"Eh——I can't eat it every day..."

After hearing Eve's answer, Melchis said with some regret, and then she wanted to take another one, but her cutlery was stopped in mid-air by Eve when she was halfway there.

"No, you have to wait a while before eating the second one, otherwise it will taste terrible. Don't worry, Shizu can make more if you think it's not enough."

"All right…"

After a moment of disappointment, Melchis's attention was soon attracted by other delicacies on the table. After all, there were so many dishes on the table that she saw them for the first time that she could hardly enjoy them all.

In this way, breakfast time passed with the laughter and chat of a few people, and then Eve took Melchis back to her room.

There was no other way. She and Istina both had to go to visit their mother later, and they couldn't leave the other one running around in the inner castle, so the only option left was to take it back to the room to enjoy (not) it. It would also be a good opportunity to see what surprise her mother had left for her in the room.

squeak

When she pushed open the door, the room she saw was completely unchanged. There was no dust accumulated because the maids came in to clean it every day. Everything was exactly the same as when she left.

"Hmm... no..."

After walking around the room and flipping the curtains, Eve said with some confusion.

"My dear hero, are you looking for something?"

"Ah, nothing much. Mother said in the communication last night that she left a surprise in my room, but I don't seem to see any changes."

"Really? But there really isn't much difference."

Hearing Eve say this, Istina looked around curiously.

But the first one to discover the problem was Melchis, who was rolling around on Eve's princess bed. Seeing such a big bed, she became playful. After entering the room and asking Eve, she pounced on it and started playing.

"Eve, what is this button?"

She pointed at a button at the head of Eve's bed and asked curiously.

"Eh? Button, what button?"

Eve was slightly stunned by her question, but she reacted immediately.

"Ah, don't press it, that should be it!"

"Ah! I've already pressed it..."

Unfortunately, she was still a step too late, and Melchis's hand had already gently pressed the button.

As the button was triggered, extended parts of Eve's princess bed popped out from both sides, leaving her confused.

Is this my mother's surprise? What good is this thing for? Her bed is already big enough, why does she need an extension?

Uh, wait, that's not enough? She, Istina, Ilvia, Arcana, Melchis, Lucia, and, uh, her mother who occasionally comes...

Oh my goodness, I'm so surprised when I count. How come the maximum number of people in her bed has reached seven without me noticing?!

"Um, is this the gift Mom gave to the Brave One?"

At this time, Istina, who was also confused, obviously had not yet realized this, which scared Eve so much that she quickly changed the subject.

"I don't know. Never mind. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go see Mother."

After saying that, Eve looked at Melchis on the bed again.

"Shizu will be waiting here for us. Don't leave this room, okay? We'll be back soon."

"I know~"

§ 88 Identity Doubt

"Mom, I'm back!"

Before the door of the study was opened, Eve's voice had already entered the room.

"Welcome back~ Little Tina too, it's been a while."

Elizabeth put down the pen and paper in her hand and looked at her daughters who came into the house with a smile.

"Well, long time no see, mom."

As she spoke, Istina took the initiative to walk forward and gave Elizabeth a brief hug, which was rare for her. However, this was her limit. After a while, she retreated aside with a blushing face.

Unlike Eve, who met Elizabeth when the abyss was destroyed, Istina was the one who stayed behind, so the last time she met Elizabeth was when the Moss Abyss was destroyed.

But for Eve, she always felt less comfortable when meeting her mother outside. She didn't have the same warm feeling as in the study. After all, their identities were there, so they had to be more reserved when they went out.

Apart from the Beast King who is always carefree, people in high positions are generally quite calm, at least in public.

Ah, thinking about this reminded her of the etiquette class she had taken. At that time, she had caused the etiquette teacher a lot of headaches.

"Hoo hoo, little Tina, you can tell mommy anything like this anytime you like."

"No, no, this is fine."

"Yeah, alright."

Knowing that Istina was just like that, Elizabeth didn't force it and turned to look at Eve.

"The people Little Eve rescued earlier have gotten much better under Libel's care and are now able to lead normal lives. However, they've been clamoring to thank the people who rescued them in person lately, so Little Eve should go see them when she returns this time."

"Well, I'll go check it out later."

Eve nodded slightly but had no intention of leaving. After all, she knew all the above things last night.

"But let's talk about this in the afternoon. Now let mother stay with you."

Elizabeth clapped her hands, smiled knowingly, and said what Eve wanted to hear.

"Ok!"

So Elizabeth took the two of them back to Eve's room.

squeak

As soon as the door was opened, a cry of surprise came from inside, and then a figure flew towards Elizabeth, who was in the lead.

"Wait!"

Before Eve could intercept, Elizabeth used gentle magic to catch Melchis and put her on the ground.

"Eve, has it become two?"

Looking at Eve and Elizabeth in front of her, Sith tilted her head cutely and asked curiously.

"This is my mother..."

Eve continued, holding her forehead with one hand helplessly.

"Hasn't Shizu met me before?"

"Ah, I forgot..."

When Melchis heard Eve say this, she immediately smiled a little embarrassedly.

But when Eve heard her words, she suddenly remembered something. She almost forgot Melchis' existence after not being with her for one night. Now, the feeling has only eased as they spend more time together, but her mother seems to have always remembered her existence.

It was obvious that the last time they met was in Moss Abyss, and it was just a brief encounter.

Hmm...so it seems that mother is immune to Melchis's ability to forget?

Hmmmm, I really want to know Shizu's identity. Is it possible that I can only wait until after the festival?

Ah, it’s okay if I don’t think about it, but when I think about it, it feels like there are little claws scratching my heart gently.

"Well, little Eve, come up too."

As soon as she got into bed, Elizabeth pressed the new button she had added to turn Eve's bed into a large bed, large enough to accommodate everyone in the room and do their own things.

At this time, Istina asked curiously.

"Why did Mommy make the Hero's bed bigger?"

"Hmm? Don't you need it? Little Eve's bed is obviously not enough anymore, right?"

Elizabeth looked around at the people sitting on the bed. Arcana was trying to tease Eve, Ilvia was eating biscuits in small bites like a good baby, and Melchis was curiously studying the part of the bed that had become bigger.

"..."

After a brief silence, Istina looked in Eve's direction with a kind smile.

"Brave Sir?"

"Um...if I say I don't know why it turned out like this, will Tina believe me?"

"What do you say?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

If you don't know what to do, just act silly and act cute. After all, she is so cute, Tina won't do anything cruel to her.

Seeing Eve's somewhat dishonest behavior, Istina was speechless and began to reflect on how things had turned out like this. How did so many people climb into the brave man's bed without him noticing?

This absolutely cannot go on. She needs to sort things out and absolutely cannot add any more people!

Well... the special relationship with my mother doesn't count, Arcana and Ilvia's special identities as weapon elves don't count, Lucia is too young and it's just care, which doesn't count, and Melchis will leave in a few months, which doesn't count.

Eh? Wait, after all this time, she's the only one left?

I can only say it’s too much, but it doesn’t seem like too much.

After sorting it out for a while, Istina not only failed to make sense of it, but became even more confused.

As for Elizabeth, who started all this conversation, she was looking at the two of them with a smile on her face.

Huhu, little Eve and little Tina are really cute. I can’t help but want to tease them a little.

On the other side, in a place unknown to Eve and others...

Blood Clan's Inner Castle: Library

In the deserted library, a figure with silver hair and blood-red eyes was sitting on a seat, slowly flipping through the ancient books in her hands. In front of her was the closed door of the library. The figure was the mysterious library manager in the rumors.
