Volume 4 Chapter 274
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 274: Grandma Elizabeth
“When you look at what you’ve done… you’ve practically ruined our vampire clan with your antics~”
When Miu Miu was the only one left in the palace, she took out a kitten doll and held it up in front of herself.
“Ancestor, stop playing dead.”
The kitten doll actually spoke on its own. “Miu Miu Borgia, aren’t you going to kill me?”
That’s right, this kitten doll was none other than the invincible Vampire Ancestor, Elizabeth.
“That’s something I’d like to ask you too,” Miu Miu narrowed her eyes. “Back then, why didn’t you drag me into self-destruction with you? You could have done that, couldn’t you?”
“……”
Elizabeth fell into silence.
Before, when Xia Yi tried to use the residual authority of Gluttony to devour her soul, Elizabeth had threatened to destroy both Miu Miu’s soul and her own, ensuring Miu Miu could never return to this world.
However, she didn’t do that.
“Not only did you not destroy my soul, you even used your own soul to repair my fragmented one, turning yourself into a remnant soul instead. I really don’t understand you,” Miu Miu said, puzzled. “Aren’t you the notoriously ruthless Vampire Ancestor?”
“Because I had already lost. As much as I hate to admit it, I truly lost to Xia Yiyi. In that situation, there was no possibility of turning the tables,” Elizabeth replied.
“Could it be… you wanted to be the good guy?”
“How could that be?” Elizabeth laughed. “I merely acknowledged my defeat. Isn’t it only natural to give the victor some reward? Even if Xia Yiyi devoured my soul to rescue you, your remnant soul would still have been crippled.”
“You’re unexpectedly generous.”
“I’ve always been this way. I am never stingy.”
At that time, Elizabeth saw a shadow of Cynthia in Xia Yi.
Though their personalities were vastly different, both gave off a feeling that was deeply irritating from the bottom of one’s heart.
However, the most important thing was that she had genuinely accepted the fact of her defeat.
This obsession, which had persisted for such a long time, had also left her somewhat weary…
Perhaps it was time to let it go.
“Miu Miu, since you’ve retrieved your body and regained your freedom, why did you keep my remnant soul?” Elizabeth asked. “Don’t you want to kill me?”
Having lost her divine halo and the Authority of Blood, and having returned all her soul energy to Miu Miu to repair Miu Miu’s fragmented soul,
The current Elizabeth had nearly lost all her power and was no longer the invincible Vampire Ancestor of old.
She felt it was time for her to exit the stage of history.
Choosing to leave on one’s own terms was always more dignified than being forced out by others.
However, Miu Miu had prevented her remnant soul from self-destructing and temporarily placed it into a seed of the World Tree.
“You shattered the seed of the World Tree. The broken seed can only contain your remnant soul for half a day,” Miu Miu said to the kitten doll. “It won’t be long before you die.”
“Going through such unnecessary trouble… Do you really want to kill me?”
“Of course I want to kill you. You nearly took my life. I won’t say anything about forgiving you, I’m not that soft-hearted.”
Miu Miu tightened her grip around the kitten doll’s neck, squeezing bit by bit. If she wanted, she could easily destroy Elizabeth’s remnant soul and inflict terrible torment.
“Ugh…”
The kitten doll showed an expression of pain.
“But then, you still have value worth preserving.”
Miu Miu released her hand and set the kitten doll down.
“Even though you’ve lost all your power, the knowledge you possess is still extremely important. Whether it’s the divine halo or the divine authority of the higher outer lords, these are things no other vampire possesses.”
“You want to use me?”
“I have no choice. Due to your atrocities, our entire vampire clan has fallen into a great disaster, paying an extremely painful price,” Miu Miu stated the obvious facts. “Someone must step up to shoulder this heavy responsibility.”
Many of the vampire princes had died, Herman was dead, and countless elite vampires had been lost during the war.
After all this turmoil, the entire vampire clan was severely weakened, and the royal bloodline was completely wiped out.
It could be said that aside from Miu Miu, there truly was no one else fit to take up the position of the vampire ruler.
But her own strength was insufficient, and bearing the responsibility of the entire empire was truly beyond her capabilities.
“Ancestor, do you really want to see the vampire clan wiped out in this era?”
“You can’t command me, Miu Miu,” Elizabeth replied. “The glory of the vampires was created by me. The vampires belong to me by right. How I choose to handle them is my own affair, it’s not for a descendant like you to comment.”
“Hmph, I knew you’d say that.”
Miu Miu set Elizabeth down.
She summoned her magical pet.
“Little Black!”
A large, black, fluffy creature appeared.
“You… what are you planning?” Elizabeth had a bad feeling.
“Little Black, go humiliate her!” Miu Miu ordered.
“Squeak!”
Little Black pounced, pinning the kitten doll beneath itself.
Having been bullied by Elizabeth before, it now seized the opportunity to vent its frustrations thoroughly.
“Stop it, stop it!!” Elizabeth shouted.
How could she, the dignified Vampire Ancestor, be bullied by a mere magical pet?
Her pride simply couldn’t accept it!
The kitten doll tried to struggle, but in this state, it was no match for Little Black.
“So, choose for yourself, do you want to be humiliated by Little Black like this for several hours and die miserably, or will you choose to help me~?” Miu Miu asked cheerfully.
“…Fine, fine! Miu Miu, I’ll help you!” Elizabeth shouted.
“Little Black, you can stop now,” Miu Miu ordered.
Little Black stopped, feeling it hadn’t had enough fun yet and was somewhat disappointed.
Miu Miu retrieved the shattered World Tree seed from the kitten doll and swallowed it.
After a moment, Miu Miu’s body once again contained Elizabeth’s remnant soul.
This time, the situation was completely reversed from before. The powerless Elizabeth could only be entirely controlled by Miu Miu.
“Alright, Miu Miu, are you satisfied now?”
Elizabeth reappeared within Miu Miu’s body, visibly displeased. This time, she was in a state only Miu Miu could see.
However, she had actively allowed herself to be devoured by Miu Miu instead of choosing self-destruction.
This point…
Of course, Miu Miu understood, but she didn’t explicitly mention it. Instead, she smiled.
“Grandma Elizabeth, from now on, you’ll need to work hard and diligently ‘burst coins’ for your lovely descendant~”
“Change that title, don’t call me grandma!”
