I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

After a brief complaint, Elizabeth began to work hard to repair the barrier.

—·—·—·—·—·—·—

On the other hand, Eve did not completely lose consciousness after fainting. Instead, she entered a strange state. Although she could not perceive anything in the outside world, she was clearly aware of her own existence.

"I had the impression that I had fainted, but what was going on?"

At this moment, she felt like she was drifting in a chaotic ocean. Although she could sense herself, she was unable to take any action.

Suddenly, a familiar feeling of discomfort came over her - it was the nightmare that had been haunting her for so long.

"Ahh, here it comes again."

Then her consciousness was dragged into the depths of the nightmare without any resistance.

Unlike her usual confused and dazed state in nightmares, this time Eve could see everything in the dream clearly.

This is an ordinary life of an ordinary person, born and raised in an ordinary way. There is no magic or elves in that world, only the daily life called technology. Everything is extremely ordinary.

And that ordinary life suddenly came to an end after he saved a girl - it ended with a sudden death. Then his soul turned into a point of light and fell out of the world into the boundless sea of ​​stars.

After a long journey, the light finally landed in a tiny world - a world familiar to Eve.

But this time the story is neither plain nor beautiful. He has never seen his relatives since he was born, and has experienced the hard life in an orphanage since he was a child. Everything changed until the day of the awakening ceremony - the legendary holy sword made a contract with him.

But he, who was hailed as a hero by everyone, ultimately suffered a sword piercing his chest - the blade of betrayal from his teammates when he faced the Vampire King, and then the world fell into darkness again.

As the darkness dissipated, what appeared before Eve's eyes this time was a scene she was extremely familiar with - her story began.

"..."

Eve watched everything quietly and had no idea what to say.

But she didn't have time to savor it, as a large amount of memories and knowledge rushed into her mind, and the familiar headache came over her, but this time she didn't wake up and interrupt it.

She fainted from the pain several times and woke up again because of the pain. Finally, after going through a hellish time, the pain slowly dissipated. Eve also found that a lot of knowledge had been added to her mind. The technology in the first world and the swordsmanship as a brave warrior were all engraved in her mind.

"As a reincarnation, it's a little too late for me to recall this memory."

Holding her forehead, Eve said with a wry smile.

"Also, after waking up, let's confirm it with Weiya. If everything is true, then she should know something. After all, she is a weapon spirit from the Heroic Era."

Although she thought so, Eve had already believed it 80% in her heart. After all, the familiar feeling from the soul could not be faked.

"So, what kind of standard flag did he say before leaving for the vampires? Believe me, I will definitely come back. He completely cut off the possibility of returning with his own hands. And how will he face Elizabeth next?"

Thinking back to what she said the night before she set out, Eve wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

'I will protect mother from now on', but I never expected that I would be the one who hurt her.

"But how do I wake up now?"

Looking at the chaotic world before her, Eve had no idea what to do.

"Is there no other way but to try all the methods..."

With a helpless sigh, Eve began to try various things.

—·—·—·—·—·—·—

Finally, after being exhausted and still without any results, Eve fell into a deep sleep in a state of chaos.

Soon after, a strong sense of pressure on her lower abdomen made her struggle to open her eyes, and what she saw was Ilvia sitting astride her.

"Um, Viya? What are you doing?"

"It's said that this will help you sleep better. Eve fainted and needed to rest, so she did this."

…This is stability in the physical sense, Eve complained silently in her heart.

"Well, thank you, Wei Ya, I slept very soundly. Can you come down first? I want to get up."

"..."

“…Viya?”

"Touch your head."

"Eh?"

"Pat the head, reward."

"Okay, Viya is great."

Eve raised her hand with some difficulty and rubbed Ilvia's little head.

Because the two of them were of similar height and Eve was pressed tightly under Ilvia, this action was extremely difficult.

After closing her eyes and enjoying it for a while, Ilvia got off Eve and sat aside.

Rubbing her lower abdomen, Eve supported herself and sat on the edge of the bed, then spoke.

"Viya, can I ask you a question?"

“…Okay, because it’s Eve.”

"Um...how long have you been contracted to me?"

“…Twelve years.”

After a moment's thought, Ilvia replied.

“…I see. Thank you, Viya.”

So that was really me. I was reincarnated into another world, became a hero, and then became a princess of the vampire clan. It was so bizarre that it didn't feel real.

While responding to Ilvia, Eve thought in her heart.

As for how she transformed from a hero into a vampire, she knew it herself. After all, she could do it now - the first embrace ceremony.

"But I managed to pull it off."

The knowledge she had learned told Eve that, unlike ordinary vampires, the success rate of the vampire royal family in embracing outsiders for the first time was shockingly low, and her success in being embraced for the first time could be called a miracle.

But what is giving her the most headache right now is how to face Elizabeth. Well, in that battle, the two of them almost became enemies in the physical sense.

Although due to the immortality of the vampires, even if Elizabeth was really hit, she would probably be fine.

After being embraced for the first time, she lost her memory, but Elizabeth treated her as her own daughter, allowing her to experience the long-lost maternal love.

"Hah... My head hurts."

§ 3 Whispering on the Starry Night

"Hah... My head hurts."

Thinking about the complicated relationship between herself and Elizabeth, Eve couldn't help but sigh.

"Eve? Still feeling unwell?"

Looking at Eve who suddenly sighed, Ilvia asked uneasily.

"No, thanks to Viya, I'm fine now."

Then he rubbed Ilvia's little head again.

I have to say, it feels great, and Eve feels a little addicted.

And Ilvia also squinted her eyes and looked like she was enjoying it.

While rubbing Wei Ya, Eve was also thinking about what to do next.

First of all, the option of falling out has been ruled out. Although she changed her mind halfway, unless she is a heartless person, who can have the heart to hurt a mother who has always treated her wholeheartedly? Even if she finds out later that she had anticipated everything and was actually acting, she will accept it.

After all, the wealthy country where he came from as a hero, those high-ranking officials should all be used to hang street lamps, but nine out of ten will definitely slip through the net.

It was fine before I thought about my past life, but now looking back at my experience, it was just a big PUA.

, through various means, he almost completely put himself under their control, not to mention the sword that pierced his chest in the end.

So, what we need to consider now is whether to confess, and if so, how to confess.

Although it is unclear whether Elizabeth knows that she may recover her memory, but from what she mentioned last night that there will be no Holy Sword Users among the human race in the future, it seems that she expected that she would awaken the Holy Sword, or her contract with the Holy Sword has never been interrupted. After all, Weiya just said that her contract with her has lasted for more than ten years.

She also mentioned that the nightmares that plagued me would disappear after the awakening ceremony, which means that she should have guessed the true nature of my nightmares.

And considering Elizabeth's meticulous observation skills, Eve felt that even if she did not confess voluntarily, she would be exposed sooner or later. If she was asked about it at that time, both parties would be extremely embarrassed. So, considering all factors, it would be better to confess before being discovered.

"Huh, decided. I'll talk to her tonight. But I don't know how long I've been unconscious."

As she spoke, Eve stood up from the bed, drew a magic circle, and changed into her Gothic-style casual clothes, and Viya also stood up.

Looking at Wei Ya, who was about the same height as herself, Eve seemed to remember something and asked.

"By the way, why haven't you appeared in human form before, Weiya?"

“…Insufficient strength.”

"mine?"

"Well, before, your power wasn't enough to make me appear in human form."

"..."

I'm sorry for being such a weak hero, and I've brought shame upon the reputation of your holy sword.

But then again, it's generally believed that the highest-ranking spirits transform into humanoid forms through their own power, but Viya claims that I lack the power to manifest them. Is this a peculiarity of the holy sword? Or is it just a myth? After all, few people have access to the highest-ranking spirits.

Forget it, let me think about how to confess to Elizabeth first.

Thinking of this, Eve took Ilvia's hand and opened the door of her bedroom.

"your Highness."

Seeing Eve coming out of the door, the maid hurriedly bowed her head.

"Ah."

Eve asked after a slight response.

"How long have I been unconscious? Where is Mother now?"

"You've been unconscious for almost half a day. Her Majesty should still be in her study handling government affairs. She wasted quite a bit of time repairing the damage to the palace's barrier this afternoon, so she hasn't been able to review some documents."

Upon hearing that the palace barrier was broken, Eve was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that it was the mess she had caused when she awakened.

…Now I feel even more embarrassed to go look for her.

However, even though she thought so in her heart, Eve still took Ilvia's hand and walked towards the study.

Standing at the door of the study, Eve took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Mother? Are you there?"

"Eve? Come in."

The sounds coming from the room were as brisk as ever.

Without hesitation, Eve opened the door and walked in.

"Mother, aren't you going to rest yet?"

"Some things can't be put off until tomorrow, but I've just finished them. So, what does Little Eve want to talk to me about? You just fainted from overexertion, so make sure you get some rest when you wake up."

"I do have something important to tell my mother. Can we sleep together tonight?"

"Oh my, little Eve actually asked to sleep with her mother. No problem, let's go to little Eve's room tonight."

With that, Elizabeth moved away from behind the desk and took Eve's free hand.

Although she had decided to be honest with her, Eve still stiffened slightly when Elizabeth held her hand.

After all, his memory had just been restored, and it was somewhat strange to see the enemy he had fought to the death with in the last battle now being so close to him.

"What's the matter, little Eve? Why are you so stiff?"

"Huh... Nothing, let's go, mother."

Shaking her head to dispel the strange feeling in her heart, Eve replied.

"That's good. If you feel uncomfortable, please speak up."
