I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"No! The master is the owner of the orthodox bloodline of the dragon clan. I am just a member of the clan who possesses some of the dragon clan's power. You cannot overstep the boundaries like this!"

"what…"

Although she wanted to persuade her again, seeing Dier's determination, Eve swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Well, I'll try to make her relax subtly later.

Since then, different personalities of Butterfly would appear around Eve from time to time, and then they would be dragged away one by one and taught a lesson by the main personality who arrived later.

§33 The Dark Clouds in the Distant Sky

"Hmm...you're not awake yet."

After enjoying breakfast, Eve went to the room where the Holy Sword Master was staying. Several days had passed since she was brought here, and there had been no movement.

For this reason, Eve left a clone of Die'er here, so that once the Holy Sword User wakes up, she can be notified immediately to avoid any trouble.

Although the Holy Sword Master lived in an era when all races united to fight against the Demon God, it would still be better to be a little careful.

What was quite coincidental was that when Eve came here today, Doctor Sophia happened to be examining the Holy Sword User. After hearing Eve's mumbling, she began to explain.

"There's nothing wrong with my body. I could wake up at any moment, but I don't know why I haven't been able to. Maybe I slept for too long?"

"Is that so? Thank you for your hard work. Let's leave first then."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

But just as they left the room, the Holy Sword Master's fingertips trembled imperceptibly...

"Huh~ What are we going to do next?"

After escaping from the busy and tight life, Eve was unexpectedly a little bored.

At this time, Istina was busy practicing the magic she obtained in the wonderland in the training ground, while Melchis was busy recovering her strength and would not come to see her for the time being. This made Eve, who was used to having someone always around her, a little uncomfortable. She was obviously a loner before she recovered her memory.

"Well... let's go find Mother."

So after thinking for a while, Eve prepared to go to Elizabeth's study to spend some time.

Well, I might as well help my mother with some things. As a lazy princess, I should play a role occasionally.

knock knock --

"Mother."

After knocking on the study door, Eve waited for Elizabeth's response.

As there have been a lot more visitors coming to the inner castle recently, in order to avoid bumping into anyone, Eve can no longer just push the door open and walk in so casually.

"Come in, little Eve."

squeak-

The warmly decorated study was still lit with Eve's familiar incense, and Elizabeth was standing in front of the battlefield sand table doing simulations.

"Why did you suddenly think of visiting mother?"

Seeing Eve coming, Elizabeth put down the chess piece in her hand and asked with a smile.

"Yeah... I just thought about it."

As she spoke, Eve went around behind Elizabeth and gently rested her head on her back.

"Huhu, mother is worried that little Eve will forget about me as her mother when she finds a new love."

"No, mother will always be my mother."

"Well~ Little Eve is the best~"

Elizabeth continued to arrange the sand table in front of her as she spoke.

"Mother, is this the battlefield of the Fallen Plain? Why are there so few troops there?"

Looking at the chess pieces representing the army on the sand table in front of her, Eve asked curiously.

Since the vampires were mainly responsible for guarding the entire Fallen Plain, the number of troops there was quite large. However, on the sand table in front of them, there were very few chess pieces representing the vampires. Elizabeth was even constantly taking away chess pieces.

"We're just preparing for the worst. The situation on the Far Western Front is not good. It's very likely that most of the troops stationed in the Fallen Plain will have to be transferred."

"It started so soon?! I just destroyed part of the Demon God's origin."

After hearing what Elizabeth said, Eve seemed a little surprised and puzzled. A part of the origin was completely shattered, even the demon god would suffer serious trauma. How could it be possible to start acting again so soon?

"It might be related to our actions to eradicate the Bloodline Faction. The timing also coincides."

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that they took advantage of the time when the Demon God's will was severely damaged by Eve to quickly eliminate the bloodline faction, which destroyed the plans of the Demon God's believers on the blood clan side, forcing them to start subsequent plans in advance in order to regain the initiative.

"Then the human race will likely seize this opportunity to launch some harassment against the Fallen Plains. The worst-case scenario is a large-scale attack."

Elizabeth said in a deep voice after pushing the small chess piece representing the human army forward a little.

After all, Elizabeth was well aware of the dirty deeds done between the human race and the devil's believers. The dirtiest places were the lawless land and the kingdom of wealth, but to be honest, the situation in the Imprum Empire was not much better. It was just that it had not been made public on the surface, and the two sides were also involved in a lot in private.

And in a sense, the situation in the Prum Empire might be even worse. In other places, cooperation with the devil's followers can be attributed to an individual or a force, but in the empire, the one who cooperates with the devil is the emperor himself, who actually controls the entire vast empire. This is extremely fatal.

According to the investigation of the vampire secret guards, the people in the empire are currently very enthusiastic about the vampires sending troops, and this is definitely being deliberately instigated by the top leaders.

And they seemed to have obtained some secret weapons, which were enough to allow the emperor to suppress the opposition of his ministers, but no more things could be found out.

Because of this, Elizabeth was already preparing for the worst.

Besides this, there was another thing that bothered her...

"Little Eve, you may be responsible for the defense of the Fallen Plains. Mother will go to the Far West to provide support."

After hesitating for a while, Elizabeth decided to tell Eve about her plan, so that she could be mentally prepared.

"Eh? Aren't I going to the Far West?"

Eve was obviously shocked when she heard Elizabeth say this. After all, in her opinion, the place she should go to was obviously the Far West Front where the situation was not good. How could she be sent to guard the Field of the Fallen?

"No, the extreme west is probably just a decoy. Mother suspects that the human race is the real main attack point."

The Far West Front has been managed by various races for hundreds of years. Although the current situation is not good, as long as support arrives, especially the arrival of her and Melceris, it will be difficult to break through the blockade even if a powerful abyss appears.

The situation in the Fallen Plains is somewhat different. Firstly, the defense line here is solely under the responsibility of the vampires. Secondly, due to the unequal strength of the two sides and the fact that the human race has not launched an attack for a long time, the defense line here is completely incomparable to the Far West in all aspects. In other words, it lacks actual combat testing.

If the followers of the Demon God do something to the human army, such as the black power crystals they found in the bloodline clan, then big problems are likely to arise.

"Is this so..."

For a moment, Eve fell into silence. It might be difficult for her to make up her mind to raise a weapon against her former compatriots.

"Phew—don't worry, mother. Leave this to me."

After a long silence, Eve took a deep breath and finally made up her mind.

"…Feel sorry."

Feeling Eve's body behind her relax again after being tense for a long time, Elizabeth lowered her eyes and spoke softly.

"Mother, you don't need to apologize. As long as the human race chooses to cooperate with the Demon God's followers, this is something I will have to face sooner or later. It's just a little earlier now."

"…Um."

Although she knew that what Eve said was true, Elizabeth still couldn't let go of the fact that she had personally put Eve in such a dilemma.

§34 Solution

"Well, let me make a cup of tea for Mother. Let's not think about this for now."

After looking around, Eve fixed her eyes on the tea set beside her and began to prepare it in an orderly manner. The topic at the moment was really awkward, and if she continued talking about it, the atmosphere would be ruined.

Among the vampires, Eve is the most suitable one both in terms of identity and strength. She is also the only one who can stop the human attack in the Fallen Plain. After all, in this world, a strong man can defeat an entire army alone. If she has the intention, Eve can flatten the Fallen Plain with one blow. The only problem is her identity.

In any case, she lived as a human for a long time, or it could be said that the majority of her time was spent as a human. Although her life after becoming a vampire princess was happier and more fulfilling regardless of whether she recovered her memory or not, she could not ignore her past because of this.

Having been a human, she had a better understanding of what kind of race humans were, but this also made it difficult for her to make up her mind to kill them.

After all, once the empire really chooses to go to war, it will not be a matter that can be resolved by killing one or two people. If the human race chooses not to follow the rules of the strong confrontation, then when everything is settled, Eve may even be given the title of the alien version of the human butcher.

In fact, it all comes down to the composition of the enemy. If all the people who come are contaminated with the power of the devil, then Eve can scatter all their ashes without even blinking.

But the problem is that there are also many soldiers who are unaware of the collusion between the higher-ups and the devil's followers. They also have their own families and their own lives, and they are only forced to join the battle under the orders of their superiors.

After all, due to Elizabeth's long-term pressure, the human army has a rather pessimistic view of the war. Without some pressure, no one would want to take the initiative to launch an attack.

The people who cheered the most for launching the war of westward expansion were always the people and politicians in the rear, rather than the soldiers who had to face death.

Hmm...if only there was some way to stop them...

Oh, wait, it seems like there really is one.

The holy sword, or rather the wielder of the holy sword, is with her.

Although Eve herself cannot openly show the holy sword due to her identity, she currently has two holy swords. It can be said that the other one is the real holy sword.

If the Holy Sword Master could stand on the side of the vampires, perhaps he could stop the war?

Although the probability is not high, there is still some possibility.

Hmm...it seems that sleeping, cough cough, and convincing the other party will have to be put on the agenda after she wakes up.

"Little Eve, you're still really confused, aren't you?"

Looking at Eve who suddenly became dazed halfway through making tea and didn't even notice that the tea had spilled, Elizabeth shook her head with some self-blame.

"That's true. After all, we're facing off against our former race, so it's inevitable that we'll feel conflicted."

"If only I didn't have to put this burden on her shoulders..."

"Ah! Mother! I have an idea!"

At this moment, Eve's excited voice interrupted Elizabeth's deep thoughts.

"Ah! Why did the tea spill out?"

Looking at Eve who was busy cleaning the small table, Elizabeth smiled helplessly, stretched out her hand and drew a magic circle to clean up the tea that spilled on the table.

My daughter, really...

"So, what did little Eve come up with?"

"Holy Sword! Holy Sword!"

The Holy Sword... Come to think of it, there is indeed such a guest in the inner castle.

"If only the Holy Sword Master appeared on the battlefield, the human race would be shaken, right?"

"Hmm...it's indeed possible."

After thinking for a while, Elizabeth nodded slightly.

After all, the Holy Sword Master has great significance and symbolic role for the human race. If the Holy Sword Master really appears on the battlefield to stop the army, it should play a certain role, but it should not achieve the immediate effect that Eve wants. It is very likely that Eve will still need to show overwhelming power first to achieve it. After all, strength is the foundation of everything.

"So all I have to do is find a way to convince her, right?"

"Well... after she wakes up, Little Eve will try it first."

"Well! Then mother, I'll leave first!"

Of course, evidence is needed to convince the Holy Sword Master. After all, as the saying goes, words are not enough. Eve will prepare these things next. There is so much evidence that the human leaders are colluding with some organizations and demon believers. It is not difficult to prepare such a set of things.

"Go ahead. If you need anything, just tell Mother."

"Ok!"

After Eve left, Elizabeth did not rush to get up. She just sat there and drank the warm tea prepared by Eve bit by bit. The guilt that had just arisen in her heart also dissipated in this warmth.

My daughter is always optimistic.

Putting the teacup in her hand back in its place, Elizabeth returned to the table and continued to handle government affairs.

She might go to the Far West Front to provide support soon, but before that, the vampires still need to be prepared.

On the other side, Eve, who had left the study, finished her magic practice and met Istina on the way.
