The author complains:
This is a picture of a sky blade weapon that I made myself. The basic appearance was referenced from a certain game. I won’t mention the name because everyone knows the reason. If I have to explain the reason, I can only say that it is after all, I am 18... ahem.
It was actually a Fang Tian Ji when it was first designed, but it was later changed into its current appearance. The reason for the change of idea was inspired by the Monster Hunter Dawn Lost Code weapon appearance DLC. The combination and transformation is so romantic!
While retaining the long weapon model, there were also many new ideas, and thus the Sky Blade was born.
Finally, don’t forget there are two more chapters in the evening~

§ 9 The Brave and the Backstab [More Updates Coming]
“Hmm… um…”
In the early morning, Eve was struggling in bed with a painful look on her face.
In the dream, her arms seemed to be locked tightly, unable to move at all. She could only watch as a dark shadow slowly walked in front of her and stabbed her with the blade in his hand.
The sharp blade pierced through her chest directly, but even though she struggled hard, she could not break free from the restraints on her arms. She could only watch helplessly as the vicious blade stabbed in and out repeatedly.
But she could only watch the scene helplessly, feeling the weakness from the continuous loss of blood.
"Ugh!!!"
Eve suddenly opened her eyes and realized that what had just happened was just a nightmare, but the inability to move her arms was not an illusion - at this time, Ilvia and Arcana were each holding one of her arms tightly and sleeping soundly.
He carefully and slowly pulled out the unconscious arms. Although the two people beside him frowned slightly, fortunately they were not awakened.
Sitting up gently and leaning against the headboard, Eve moved her numb arms slightly while recalling the dream she had just had.
Although she had never experienced being stabbed in the chest since being embraced for the first time and becoming a vampire princess, she was very familiar with the feeling just now - it was the blade of betrayal from her former teammate.
"But now that I think about it, I have quite a rich experience..."
Eve couldn't help but sigh as she recalled her own experience.
Reincarnated but with no memory at all, became a hero but was backstabbed by teammates, defeated the demon king but was turned into a vampire princess, what does it mean to have rich experience!
And in a normal scenario, shouldn't one refuse to obey after being embraced for the first time? Why did she lose her memory and die instantly when it was her turn?
He is even hailed as the rising star of the vampire clan. Where did this title come from?
What? I recovered my memory and didn't fall out, and I'm still a vampire princess? That's fine.
"But why was that..."
Gently touching her chest, Eve murmured softly, recalling the pain in her dream just now.
Looking back on my experience as a hero, I can't say it was orthodox, but I can say I did my best. I didn't do anything like expelling teammates from the team or breaking into people's houses to loot supplies.
As for her experience as a hero, it cannot be said to be orthodox, which is related to the situation of the human race and her country of birth.
Currently, the vast majority of human beings on the continent live mainly in the southeast corner, bordered by the Fallen Plains and the Broken Mountains to the west, the Blue Sky and Sana Hills to the north, and the endless sea to the southeast.
If humans want to expand their territory, they need to break through the Fallen Plains guarded by the vampires and the trolls.
As for the Severance Mountains and Sana Hills, due to their terrain, they are completely unfavorable for the deployment of large armies, and are generally easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, the Origin of the Fall is the main target of the human race.
The human race is divided into five major factions: the Kingdom of Travelers composed of adventurers and mercenaries, the Kingdom of Wealth composed of wealthy businessmen, the most powerful Imprum Empire, the Lawless Land composed of exiles and criminals, and the Kingdom of the Holy Church composed of church believers.
Among them, the Imprum Empire was the most active in westward expansion.
Each of the major forces has its own characteristics. For example, the Lawless Land believes that strength is supreme, and the strong dominate everything. The Holy Kingdom is responsible for mediating conflicts between countries. As for the Kingdom of Wealth where she was born, it is just as its name suggests, and it believes that money is supreme.
The Country of Wealth is a country composed entirely of wealthy merchant families. On the surface, it pursues a parliamentary system, but in fact it is not much different from an auction system. After all, there is nothing in this country that cannot be solved with money, and if there is, the money given is not enough.
As long as the money is there, you can have all the members of their parliament dress up as women and pole dance in the street. As for human lives? How can you say that? They are consumables, understand?
In this country anyway, if you pick ten random people on the street and make nine of them into street lamp pendants, some will slip through the net.
But it is also this country that controls the circulation, operation and sales channels of most of the human race's various commodities. If the well-known chambers of commerce mentioned by the human race do not appear to have anything to do with the country of wealth, they must be flirting with it in secret.
If it weren't for the pressure from the church and the empire, the country of wealth would have rebelled long ago.
As Eve was born as a brave warrior in this country, it was natural for her to be used as a bargaining chip.
After all, as one of the strongest individual forces of the human race, although the hero cannot be used in civil wars, it is still very convenient to use it to solve some external troubles, such as dealing with the beast tide that appeared in the Warcraft Forest, and responding to the invasion of the northern beasts.
In short, you can't sell it for nothing, you have to sell it at a good price. This is why Eve self-deprecatingly says that her experience as a hero is not orthodox.
But the most suitable position for her to use this chip was the last battle against the demon king she experienced.
As just mentioned, the main problems the empire faces if it wants to expand westward are the vampires and the trolls, with the threat posed by the vampire queen being the most severe. Therefore, humans have always adopted the tactic of launching a feint attack with the front-line army to attract vampire troops, and then having a brave warrior secretly lead an elite team to break into the vampire royal city and decapitate the vampire queen.
If the beheading is successful, the army can take advantage of the low morale of the vampires to break through the Fallen Fields in one go. If it fails, they can call it a day and make plans later.
However, although the plan is good, in conclusion, the decapitation operation has never been successful in so many times, at least not in the past thousand years.
Although the war hawks in the empire still have confidence in this, most people are pessimistic.
The key to the problem naturally lies with the hero. After all, as the strongest individual force of the human race, he must be sold for a good price if he is sent to such a situation where there is no chance of survival.
I guess it's a form of giving a lump sum at the start, and then a balance depending on the success or failure?
"I don't know what the final price was for me."
Eve smiled to herself thinking of this.
Finally, when the news came out that she was about to leave, her close attendant Istina tried to pull her away to escape, but unfortunately she was discovered by the family. In the end, the family took Istina as a hostage and let her embark on the road of no return to defeat the Demon King.
Thinking about it now, she naively thought that she could go back alive and take Istina away. If she hadn't been embraced for the first time by coincidence, she would probably be buried in the grass.
But thinking about this, Eve had some guesses about the reason why she was backstabbed. Just like being sold to behead the devil, her life was probably sold for a good price.
I just don't know who or which organization has so much free time. She was clearly sent to behead the devil and was already dead, but they still stabbed her in the back and nailed the lid of her coffin shut.
Of course, it is impolite not to reciprocate. According to Eve's plan, after she can control her own power, the first thing she will do is to pick up Istina. After all, she has been waiting for a long time.
Then the next thing is naturally to have a serious talk with the Grans family about being backstabbed. As for the possible mastermind behind the scenes, he naturally can't escape.
Although she would not be so extreme as to vent her anger on the entire human race because of being backstabbed, the initiator and executor of the backstabbing action could not escape.
It wasn't difficult to find the family's lair, it was right there, so she could just casually exterminate the entire clan, but she didn't know who instigated the family to stab her in the back.
It is the great wish of the human race for a hero to defeat the Demon King. Anyone who dares to make a move in such a matter is definitely not a small person.
At least the price they offered must have far exceeded the final payment offered by the empire in order for the family to be so decisive in selling themselves.
"Ahh, my head hurts."
Eve felt annoyed when she thought about having to investigate such an organization in the future.

There will be another update later, please collect it~
§ 10 Morning Whispers [Part 3]
"Ahh, my head hurts."
Just as Eve was worrying about her future plans, Arcana seemed to be awakened by her muttering.
"Hmm… Master?"
Having just woken up, Arcana looked drowsily at Eve who had sat up.
"Oh, sorry, did I wake you?"
Eve, thinking she had woken Arcana, quickly apologized.
"No, I just woke up. What's wrong, Master? You look like you have a headache?"
"Well, I thought of something and felt a little irritated. It's nothing serious."
"Can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help the master."
"Well... well, I'll tell you sooner or later."
As the closest companion of the contractor, it is very common for the weapon elf to tell the other party about his past.
Even if it is a low-level elf that only has a weapon posture, if you have something to tell it, it will respond to you in its own way.
As for the humanoid elf at the top, he is even more considerate. He can pat the head to comfort the lower one, and can directly carry the upper one away to get the marriage certificate.
According to unreliable rumors, there were even weapon elves who directly forced the contractors to do something, but it was impossible to verify whether this rumor was true or not.
As she spoke, Eve briefly told Arcana about her experiences other than the time travel, from awakening the holy sword to becoming a hero, from being sent to defeat the demon king to being backstabbed by teammates, from being embraced for the first time to becoming a vampire princess, and finally recovering her memory after the awakening ceremony.
"..."
After listening to Eve's story, Arcana was silent for a while, and after a long time he whispered.
"Master, don't you want to take revenge?"
"Ok?"
"Those humans, they were the ones who arbitrarily promoted you as a hero, then arbitrarily sent you to your death, and finally arbitrarily betrayed you!"
The more he spoke, the more obvious the anger in Arcana's tone became, and it was obvious that he could no longer suppress his anger.
In response to her indignation, Eve gave her own answer after a little thought.
"Well... it would be a lie to say I'm not angry at all. In fact, once I can control my own power, I plan to eliminate my family and the mastermind behind this. However, I won't hate the entire human race because of this."
"Because the master was once a human?"
After hearing Eve's answer, Arcana couldn't help but raise his voice a little, and there was a hint of questioning in his words.
He had sent her into a dead end in the name of expectation, and then betrayed her in the dead end in the name of profit. In Arcana's opinion, this was not something that could be ignored by simply getting rid of the mastermind.
"That's partly the reason, and besides these ugly sides, humans also have many shining points. I'm just a little disappointed right now, but not despairing. After all, the wealthy country I was born in is simply the moral bottom of the human race. Rather than being human, we're more like a bunch of street lamp pendants."
"Streetlight pendant?"
"It's a subtle way of saying he deserves to be hanged. Never mind."
"Oh."
"But having said that, after I pick up Istina and deal with the family, I don't think I'll want to pay attention to the human race's affairs for a while. After all, no matter how much I say I don't care, it will still be a bit uncomfortable."
As Eve spoke, her eyes seemed to be looking into the distance somewhere unknown.
"Master, who is Istina?"
Noticing that Eve mentioned a person's name, Akana asked curiously.
"Oh, Istina? She was my valet when I was a hero. She was the source of my motivation to persevere in this shabby place called the Land of Wealth. After the news that I was being sent to defeat the Demon King spread, she even tried to take me with her to escape, but she was eventually discovered by the family."
"Is this so..."
Hearing that there were humans who genuinely cared about Eve, Akana's expression improved a little.
"By the way, Master, can you tell me about her?"
"Okay, but since the story is too long, I'll just tell it briefly this time."
"Ok!"
"Well... let me start with how I met her. Our encounter was definitely not romantic at all."
"Eh? Why? Aren't heroes supposed to be admired by all humans?"
"It's mainly due to circumstances. Both she and I are from the Grans family of the Land of Wealth. I was adopted after awakening the Holy Sword, and she's a child from one branch of the family. My encounter with her was related to an auction."
"auction?"
After hearing what Eve said, Akana was a little confused. How could this matter be related to the auction, and how could it be related to the meeting between the two?
"That's right. Even if it's auctioned, those guys from the Land of Wealth would probably sell their lives for the right price. Forget it, let's not talk about this nonsense."
Eve coughed lightly and continued.
"The item being auctioned was a position for a valet close to me. After all, as a Hero at the time, I was still quite worthy of investment. Having someone close to me would probably have a good influence, and her faction successfully won the bid for this position."
“This is too…”
