Chapter 164
The Vampire Princess – Happy Ending
…..
[Proceed to the next world?]
Lily shook her head when she heard the Robot's voice inside her head. After a long silence, she then watched her stats in front of her. So far, her luck was already zero, and her intelligence had increased. However, the other aspect of her soul is still the same. Was it because she was only a soul?
"Hey Robot… was I punished?"
[Unable to answer. Bee lacks authority.]
"Then who can answer me?" she couldn't help but wonder that this was all a punishment and not a chance to live again.
[Unable to answer. Bee lacks authority.]
Lily bit her lower lip and let out a sigh. She had finished two missions so far. Maybe she needed to finish more missions so the robot would be able to answer her questions. "Then let's proceed to the next world." She uttered and closed her eyes.
[Entering to the next world in three… two…. One….]
……
The thick smell of blood made Lily frowned. She held her breath, and slowly opened her eyes. The white canopy of the bed was the first thing that she saw. Slowly, Lily held her hand in front of her and stared at her snow-white hands.
"Your highness… you are awake." A man's voice echoed. Lily immediately stared at the man standing a few feet away from her bed. The man was tall, the dark perfectly trimmed velvet hooded coat made the man looked a little mysterious. Beneath the coat was a brown shirt and a white tan vest. Along with this, she could see a tan waist belt and a red scarf. Was he an assassin? She couldn't help but asked herself. "I will be outside, please feel free to call me if you need anything," the man's emotionless voice echoed before he silently left the room without even waiting for her words.
Lily narrowed her eyes.
"Robot…" she uttered softly. "Let me purchase the plot."
[Purchase plot for six hundred coins?]
'So, it really is doubled, huh.'
[Yes.]
This system is such a money-grubber. She felt that this system should be a part of her soul, yet, this robot was really…
If this robot was a part of her soul, that does mean that Lily was a money-grubber too? She shook the thoughts out of her head. Impossible.
'Alright. Six hundred coins it is.'
[Purchasing plot for six hundred coins. Deducting coins. Plot successfully purchased. Open now?]
'Yes!'
[Plot: The male lead is called Ayland Freer, a powerful witch who would become the mortal enemy of the vampires. Ayland was the illegitimate son of a powerful witch who was killed by the vampires just after she gave birth. Ayland grew up in an orphanage that trained servants for the noble vampires.
This was where Ayland met the female lead, Cassandra Larcia. Cassandra was born into a poor family who sold her to become a slave for the vampires. At sixteen, both Cassandra and Ayland met in the royal vampire family's household. The two fell in love and started a relationship. However, this relationship didn't last long when the Villain, Prince Gavril de Carinus took a liking to the female lead.
The quest this time does not revolve around the villain and the leads. This time, the host was tasked to stop the powerful Duke, who is also Prince Gavril's mortal enemy, from kidnapping the female lead and turning her into a vampire. The female lead would soon become a vampire because of Prince Gavril and not because of the Duke. This would attract the hate of the male lead, making him run away, vowing to destroy the Prince once he turned powerful.
If the Duke would turn the female lead into a vampire, the male lead would hate the Duke instead of the Prince. This must not be allowed to happen.
The host is called Princess Lucinia de Carinus, she was the youngest sister of Prince Gavril, and was someone hated and avoided by all vampires because of her allergies to blood. Princess Lucinia de Carinus doesn't drink blood, thus her body was different from the normal vampires. She was not as fast and as strong. The vampires hated her not because she was physically weak but because of her ability to influence blood around her.
She was called the demonic princess, and everyone in the de Carinus household hated and bullied her, prompting her to live in a castle far away from the kingdom, alone. Princess Lucinia was irrelevant to the plot, and most people including the male and female lead doesn't even know who she was.]
[Quest: Prevent the Duke from taking the Female Lead. Rewards: 500 coins.]
Lily nodded. "Lucinia de Carinus. Not a bad name." She opened her eyes and sat on her bed. After a long pause, she went to her bathroom and examined how she looked. In front of her was a very beautiful woman. Five-foot eight, long black hair, red orbs, and small pouty lips. From the small memories in this body, Lucinia was actually not a daughter of the current Queen but from a maid that the King 'accidentally' impregnated.
This was another reason why everyone in the household hated her. Lucinia shook her head as she examined her long white sleeping gown. It was thin, revealing her small naked frame underneath the gown. This should be the reason why that person immediately left the room when she woke up.
Speaking of that person, he was Lucinia's treacherous knight Zacharia. That man was someone planted by the Queen and was following Lucinia around as her knight. She let out a snort as she held her beautiful little face. This Lucinia was already eighty years old, but she still looked like an eighteen-year-old woman. "How beautiful." Her eyes soon roamed around her bathroom and noticed the walk-in closet just a few feet away from the tub. Eyeing the tub, Lucinia couldn't help but smile. It was huge, probably enough for two people. And it was located in the middle of the huge bathroom.
Walking towards the tub, Lucinia rummage through her memories and immediately found a way to use the water system. Even if Lucinia was forced to stay in this castle, everything had been provided by the royal family. This castle was only enough to accommodate at least six people, but it was beautiful with complete amenities. Soon, Lucinia removed the nightgown and immediately walked towards the tub.
Then she frowned. The warm water seemed to remind her of the cold. But why would she think of something cold this time? She immediately shook the thoughts out of her head and smiled to herself as she started bathing herself.
Lucinia doesn't have anyone to assist her in this castle. Aside from two guards, a cook, and a servant to clean the place and of course, Zacharia who doesn't really show himself, Lucinia was practically alone. After a quarter of an hour of enjoying the tub, Lucinia started to get bored. So, she ended her bath and went to her walk-in closet to choose some beautiful clothes.
Base on her memories, this woman loved clothes but was too shy to wear them.
This woman was bullied since she was a child, making her personality very timid, shy, and insecure. She grew up without friends and family. Because of this, she had wanted to socialized but always failed as she would always end up becoming the laughing stock of the crowd. Still, Lucinia persevered and would always show up if someone invited her to events. But instead of wearing her beautiful clothes, Lucinia decided to choose simple clothes instead. She hoped that it would be enough to make her more likable. This, of course, didn't stop the bullying. Seeing that Lucinia was very quiet and just ignored the other nobles that would make fun of her every time she attended a banquet, many people started to invite her more and make her the center of their entertainment.
"My poor little girl." Lucinia smiled as she looked at her naked reflection in the floor to ceiling mirror inside her walk-in closet. "Don't worry… I will make those people suffer." The gentle smile on her face turned sinister before she let out a pause and frowned. For some reason, Lily could feel herself change. She felt that she had become more ruthless or, at least, her thoughts had become more ruthless and… sinister.
She shivered. Was this… the real Lily? Or this is nothing but the effect of being a vampire?
Anyway, she should stop thinking about stuff like this anymore. She felt that it was only right for her to avenge the sufferings that this body had gone through. This Lucinia was only an innocent soul that can't even drink blood. Why would they bully her just because she doesn't eat what they eat? Isn't that absurd? "Aish… you were bullied because you are too meek." She said out loud. "This… if we want to save the female lead then… we can't really let them continue doing stuff like this."
