Volume 4 Chapter 219
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 219: Unforgettable
The mere thought of having to marry someone else alongside Xia Lulu was unbearable for Xia Yi.
Elizabeth wanted not just her, but Xia Lulu as well?
How could she ever accept such a thing!
“You wicked woman, you’re not allowed to lay a finger on Xia Lulu!!”
The idea of Elizabeth targeting Xia Lulu drove Xia Yi into a rage. Without a second thought, she lunged at Elizabeth.
However…
The tail ring she wore rendered her actions utterly futile, posing no threat whatsoever as she simply fell right into Elizabeth’s arms.
“Xia Yiyi, why aren’t you happy?” Elizabeth said cheerfully. “Isn’t this something worth celebrating?”
“I’ll bite you to death! I’ll bite you to death!”
In Elizabeth’s embrace, Xia Yi thrashed about like an angry kitten, refusing to settle down.
“Alright, alright, be good now.”
Elizabeth raised a finger and gave it a slight wave. The tail ring on Xia Yi’s tail began to glow faintly.
Under its unique influence, Xia Yi’s movements gradually slowed.
“Uh…”
Then, her strength faded, her eyes fluttered closed, and she fell unconscious in Elizabeth’s arms.
“Why does Xia Yiyi lose control every time I mention Xia Lulu? She gets so frantic. Her emotions were quite stable before, she could even endure being bitten by me.”
Elizabeth was puzzled. After some thought, only one possibility seemed to fit.
“…Could it be that Xia Yiyi really adores her mother? In that case, I must keep Xia Lulu here too, so both silver dragons can live happily together in the Vampire Clan imperial palace.”
“Then, I could take turns biting them each day, enjoying different flavors.”
“And when the mood strikes, I could savor both mother and daughter together… That would be… absolutely wonderful~!”
…
…
Today was the day of Elizabeth and Xia Yi’s wedding. An unprecedented grand ceremony would be held within the imperial palace of the Holy Crimson Empire’s capital.
Elizabeth rose early and made her way to the wedding venue.
“Divine Ancestor.”
Upon seeing Elizabeth arrive, Herman stepped forward and bowed with deep respect.
“Herman, is the wedding venue fully prepared?” Elizabeth inquired.
“Reporting to the Divine Ancestor, the venue for your ceremony with Her Highness the Consort-to-be is completely ready. Not just here, every other location and the entire imperial palace have been decorated. All wedding-related tasks are fully completed, exactly as outlined in the plan. The pure-blood nobles have already arrived in the capital as of yesterday and are prepared to attend at any moment. Would you like to inspect everything?”
“Very well. There’s still plenty of time before the ceremony begins anyway,” Elizabeth agreed.
Guided by Herman, she walked through various parts of the imperial palace, reviewing the preparations.
“Excellent, Herman. You continue to put my mind at ease. Your work is very satisfactory.”
“Thank you for your praise, Divine Ancestor. It is my honor to serve you.”
Herman paused briefly.
“Divine Ancestor, our Vampire Clan forces outside the capital have also been placed on standby. To ensure the smooth proceeding of your wedding, they will fight to the last against the Anti-Vampire Clan Alliance’s army.”
“The Anti-Vampire Clan Alliance’s forces are expected to reach the capital’s outskirts today, correct?”
“Yes. The alliance has abandoned prolonged warfare tactics and instead chosen to strike swiftly, launching a direct assault on the capital in an attempt to crush us in one decisive move.”
“So, Xia Lulu really will make it to this wedding after all,” Elizabeth said with a smile.
“Those foolish beings stand no chance against you, Divine Ancestor. Even if the Anti-Vampire Clan Alliance has many powerful individuals, they are still far beneath your might.”
“Powerful individuals…”
Upon hearing this term, Elizabeth fell silent for a moment and halted her steps.
“Herman, what kind of person do you consider a true powerhouse?”
“One who possesses the capability to achieve unprecedented feats, conquer the world, and defeat every High-Race King upon this land, only such a being qualifies as a true powerhouse,” Herman replied without hesitation.
His gaze burned with fervent admiration as he looked at Elizabeth, as if to say that the Vampire Clan’s Divine Ancestor he worshipped was precisely such a figure.
“In the Mythical Era, I once sought to defeat the other High-Race Kings and become the true powerhouse standing at the pinnacle.”
Elizabeth turned and gazed out through the window at the distant sky.
“My past aspirations aligned with yours, Herman… However…”
“However?”
“…It was all a mistaken perception. You may believe you have reached the highest peak and finally earned the right to fulfill your long-cherished wish, but in truth, fate will still toy with you mercilessly. Ultimately, you will fall to cruel reality and die with endless regrets… Just like…”
Just like her.
A name etched deep within Elizabeth’s heart surfaced in her mind.
Even now, she remains unable to forget.
“After hundreds of thousands of years of waiting, I have finally seized my chance. This time, I will become the true powerhouse, master of my own destiny. I will not repeat the past.”
…
“Your Highness, the Consort-to-be.”
“Your Highness, please wake up.”
“Your Highness, time is running short. Today is the day of your wedding with the Divine Ancestor.”
Asleep in bed, Xia Yi suddenly heard voices murmuring beside her about her wedding with Elizabeth later that day.
“Not this! Anything but this!!”
Xia Yi screamed, her eyes snapping open as she bolted upright.
“Was… it a dream?”
“It is not a dream, Your Highness. You should begin preparing now,” the Vampire Clan palace maid standing by her bed reminded her.
“Waaah!!”
Xia Yi felt utterly wronged. So it wasn’t a dream, today she really was going to marry Elizabeth.
During the wedding, Elizabeth would perform that mysterious ritual, binding Xia Yi to her side for the rest of her life, never to escape the wicked woman.
The more the young princess thought about it, the more distressed she became.
“Your Highness, why are you so unhappy?” the maid asked, puzzled.
“You all… please leave for now. I just had a nightmare and need a moment to recover.”
“Oh…”
The maids nodded in acknowledgment and left the room.
“Ella, are you here?” the silver-haired girl asked anxiously.
Today was the day she had agreed upon with Ella, the day Ella would replenish her Succubus energy and help her escape this wedding.
If Ella didn’t come to her aid, everything would be over…
“Hey there~ little silver dragon! Your most amazing Succubus lady has answered your call!”
