The vampire heiress is two-faced

Torre rolled his eyes.

"Moreover, that's not my main point."

"Could you please not go through such a long build-up?" Yin Shang sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Torre said, "The point is, although I noticed the change in her appearance, it seems that no one has raised any objections."

"And she wasn't as close to Her Majesty the Queen before and after the wedding... I suspect she did something to the Queen."

"Her Majesty the Queen's gentleness and indulgence towards her...is so unusual that it sends chills down my spine."

"Given that I know her and that we've both had some dirt on each other, I decided to find her and get to the bottom of this."

He swallowed hard, suppressing the slight tremor in his voice.

"I went to ask her when she was alone, but she..."

...

...

...

"who are you?"

The blonde girl asked with a smile.

"Oh, are you a member of the Vampire Council? Rise, may I ask what business you have with me, Your Highness?"

"'The Holy Grail,' stop playing dumb! What exactly happened between you and the Queen...?"

She blinked her bright red eyes and rose from her princely throne.

"What Holy Grail? You're talking nonsense, my dear minister."

"That girl you rescued from Debrecen...have you forgotten? What are you up to?! She also—"

"My dear minister, before asking the prince any questions, don't forget to use honorifics."

"You've mistaken me for someone else. This prince only stays within the city..."

"I've met you a few times in the fort."

She gracefully descended the steps in front of the throne and stood on them, looking down at Tore.

"I will forgive your disrespect this time, but if there is a next time... hmph."

"Princess Yang Lingxi of the vampire clan, from beginning to end, remains unchanged. Heh, are you mistaking me for someone else?"

She gently touched Torre's chin.

"It's okay if you don't know me. We'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future."

She smiled slightly.

"My little Shirley... won't have time to care about you guys for long."

"Because I will take over this place with the authority and status of a princess."

...

In that instant, a bone-chilling coldness crept up Torre's spine.

Chapter 45 The Knight of Apocalypse

"What happened next...I probably don't need to say more."

Torre finished recounting this chilling past.

Yin Shang, who was listening in, also fell silent. As always, the quiet, dimly lit courtyard was completely silent.

It was only when Torre, unable to calm his emotions for a long time, broke the dead silence that the silence was broken.

"Let's put it this way."

"Although Her Majesty has lived for a thousand years, she is also a young woman who has never had any romantic experience; one could even say she is as pure as a blank sheet of paper in this regard. The way she acted when she was with the Princess..."

Torre sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"It may be offensive to say this... but at that time she seemed like a naive, infatuated girl who had been deceived by sweet talk."

"I need to figure out what's going on here, you understand?"

He looked at Yin Shang with a stern expression and handed over the right to speak to Yin Shang.

...

"Ah, if we analyze it based on what you've said..."

Yin Shang pondered.

“I have a general idea of ​​what the Holy Grail is, but your ‘Queen’... if your description is accurate, then I don’t know who she is.”

"When the Pope was overthrown, as a church knight who frequently interacted with the church, I learned some secrets that had been covered up by the church and were about to be covered up again by your vampire council."

Yin Shang touched the holy sword behind him, which was wrapped up. It trembled slightly for a moment in response to Yin Shang's touch.

"The corrupted Pope, tainted by darkness, once contaminated the Four Sacred Relics, the foremost of the Twelve Sacred Relics, with darkness, thereby summoning the embodiment of calamity and messengers of hell—the Knights of the Apocalypse. Of those four Knights of the Apocalypse, three have been completely annihilated by the Vampire Queen and her companions. Only the embodiment of the Holy Grail—the Knight of Famine—is said, according to the now tightly sealed documents of the Church, to have already betrayed his comrades and become an ally of the Vampire Queen."

Yin Shang paused.

"But the Famine Knight and her true form, the 'Greedy Grail,' have been missing since the Papal War, according to many records."

Torre and Yin Shang looked at each other for a moment, and the answer in their hearts was self-evident.

Yin Shang had naturally learned a thing or two about the Knights of Apocalypse from the books. At the church, Yang Lingxi's appearance and the power she displayed undoubtedly fit the category of the "Knight of Famine of Apocalypse".

Yin Shang said, "As far as I know, the power of the Apocalypse uses sacred artifacts as carriers and utilizes the power of the Apocalypse's abyss to construct humanoid forms that are essentially 'artifact spirits,' namely the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse' who served under the Pope a few years ago. They possess both the power of sacred artifacts and the power of the Apocalypse, making them the most unique generation of Apocalypse Horsemen in history."

"Not only because they are unprecedentedly powerful, but also because once they lose their power, the bodies built from that power will also vanish into thin air."

...

Torre said in a deep voice, "You should know, Knight. No matter what method you use to observe it, the power of famine no longer exists in this world. This is an indisputable fact. The embodiment of the Holy Grail—the Knight of Famine—could not possibly still be alive."

Yin Shang knew that there were some things Torre wouldn't say; he was just pretending not to know. He wanted to wait for Yin Shang to say those words.

Regardless, crossing that chasm of "betrayal" remains a difficult task for this loyal vampire.

Yin Shang had no choice but to respect his wishes, since he needed his help now.

Yin Shang continued, "But this doesn't mean that the incredibly cunning Grail incarnation will simply disappear, Mr. Torre. It's entirely possible that the Grail incarnation can, through some method, or even the power of the Grail itself, allow its physical form to continue existing."

This was undoubtedly the "answer" Torre wanted to hear.

“Well said, Church Knight, but without any evidence, we cannot presume guilt against our Princess,” Torre said.

...

"Evidence?"

Yin Shang thought for a moment.

“Of course,” he said.

"She stole the Spear of Longinus. The Spear of Longinus had also served as the vessel for the Knights of the Apocalypse, becoming the 'Knight of War Longinus' at that time. They were undoubtedly accomplices in their wicked schemes, and with this connection, her reason for stealing the Spear of Longinus from the church becomes understandable. Even if she had defected to the Queen's side, she must have had other motives."

...

Boom!

Torre suddenly grabbed Yin Shang by the neck and shoved him down.

Beside the stone wall in the corner.

His speed caught Yin Shang completely off guard, and his strength left him with no way to resist. Undoubtedly, Torre's strength was even greater than that of Ruo Keke and Ludwig.

Yin Shang had no idea how much strength Torre was still hiding, but he knew that high-ranking vampires were far beyond his ability to deal with.

Torre was, after all, a high-ranking vampire who had lived for a thousand years.

"Church Knight, according to you, you suspect that a traitor from the Church of Our Feud has infiltrated our ruling vampire class... a filthy Apocalypse Knight? Do you know the consequences of making such a false accusation against Her Highness the Princess?"

His bright red eyes were brimming with murderous intent.

"According to the ancient laws of the vampires, it would not be an exaggeration to devour you completely with the mouths of the vampires."

call--

"Meow!"

A ball of light spun out from the end of the sword hilt and appeared beside Yin Shang's shoulder, staring fiercely at Tore, who was threatening his master's life.

“Reinhardt, go back. I can handle it.”

"...Meow."

Reinhardt cannot speak freely in front of outsiders. It let out a disgruntled cry and then returned to its sword.

...

"Listen up, human, I'll only say this once."

With a fierce expression, Torre gripped Yin Shang's neck tightly and slowly leaned close to his ear.

His voice suddenly lowered a few decibels.

"The only Royal Guard Knight appointed by the Vampire Queen died in the final battle against the Pope."

"But neither we nor the church found his body at the scene."

"And he was the one who defeated the Pope with the Spear of Longinus during the battle."

"...and he was the one who should have stood beside the vampire queen, in that inseparable position."

puff--

Torre punched Yin Shang in the stomach and then threw him away.

"Okay, get out!"

At this moment, Torre's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, almost as if he were angry.

"You shouldn't know these things, and you have no right to know them. Mona Castle will never welcome humans!"

"Guards! Maids! Show the guest out!"

...

...

...

"He's really going for it! Ouch...it hurts so much!"

Yin Shang grinned and got up from the ground, covered in dust.

Yin Shang felt that even if he was trying to avoid being suspected by his colleagues, this was going too far.

"Ah, my internal organs are probably all dislocated. Reinhardt, please treat me."

“Master, I really don’t understand why you would deliberately take a beating,” Reinhardt said.

"It's okay if you don't know, it's best if you don't know," Yin Shang sighed.

That's how it is when dealing with vampires; you might get a beating for no reason, or be kicked out.

Although Yin Shang had actually formed a partnership with Torda, he was still very unhappy.

"Whether it's Torre or those two old ladies, I've dealt with vampires for so many years, and I've never felt so close to developing vampire phobia."

Yin Shang looked at his palm. Torre had used vampire magic to inscribe a mark, which showed his next destination.

“Alright, Bailing City... a place I’ve never heard of, but at least it’s in my homeland,” Yin Shang said.

But at the very end of these magical characters in his palm, there was a sentence:

"Don't let me down, Church Knight."

As soon as Yin Shang finished reading them, these short-lived runes vanished.

After much deliberation, Yin Shang realized he hadn't reminded the Vampire Council to be wary of the Spier Group.

After all, there is not enough evidence at present to suggest that the group is going to make any big moves against the parliament, and the group is unlikely to have any connection with the princess, let alone know what she wants to do.

"What exactly does 'the Vampire Council is in trouble' refer to?"

Yin Shang wasn't good at pondering problems, and he quickly gave up thinking about them.
