"Others are busy being queens, running around doing everything themselves, and they can't even play games anymore. Coco has to refuse even this small request..."
...
If Coco raised her head and looked at the silver-haired girl soaking in the bath, at this moment, she would feel so unfamiliar to her.
"There's no need to force yourself to pretend like this, Your Majesty."
"You have accepted your true self and gained the inheritance of supreme power and wisdom. The proud demeanor you display is that of the decisive, elegant, and aloof Queen of the Night."
"Therefore, your 'young lady' disguise... appears full of flaws and weak at this moment. You don't need to force yourself to show that frivolous attitude only to me...it undermines your queenly majesty."
“My mission was to protect Princess Ludwig, and that mission is long since accomplished. That you, as Queen, still retain me by your side to serve you is already a great honor; I dare not accept any further favors…”
Please treat your subordinates as ordinary maids.
"Your Majesty, please do as you command."
"I shall take my leave now. Good night."
A barely perceptible glint of tears flashed across Coco's eyes.
In her heart, the young lady Ludwig who needed her care no longer existed.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that the young lady was just a clumsy disguise from beginning to end.
It was a false personality that Ludwig created to protect her true self.
Now she no longer needs the disguise of a young lady, nor does she need a lowly maid to protect her.
In Ruokeke's eyes, that mischievous and adorable young lady was a dream that had long been shattered.
When she woke up from the dream, she naturally had to accept reality.
...
The silver-haired vampire queen stood there, stunned, watching Ruo Keke's departing figure.
You monster... you say it so casually...
"...You're not the Ludwig I know...You've been blinded by power and authority!"
You treat human life as...
The young man's angry figure flashed through the Night Queen's mind, touching a nerve...
This also touched a raw nerve with her.
"Stop, Ruokeke."
She wrapped herself in a bath towel and slowly stood up from the bathtub.
In that instant, the power of domination had firmly taken control of the maid who was about to leave, not only rendering her unable to move an inch, but also quickly controlling her thoughts.
If Coco's eyes widened:
"what...!"
She couldn't turn around, but she could feel the unfamiliar silver-haired girl slowly approaching her, and then her hands climbed up her neck.
...
"Coco... what are you saying?"
Ludwig's blood-red eyes glowed dangerously as she activated her blood energy, and she stuck out her tongue, lightly licking her neck.
"I've always been me, Ludwig... the Ludwig you know best."
She chuckled and gently stroked the maid's cheek.
"My dear Cocoa... let's get to know each other again?"
"We haven't had a 'heart-to-heart talk' in ages..."
Under the invasion of domineering power into her mind, the brown-haired maid's eyes gradually lost their luster.
...
"Hiss Liu."
"That's more like it."
Chapter 172 Your Queen
When Coco regained consciousness, she found herself no longer in the large bath.
Surprisingly, she didn't feel anything unusual in her brain; she was perfectly awake and didn't feel any pain.
"Huh...?!"
She rubbed her blurry eyes and then realized that she was lying in the Queen's boudoir, on the Queen's bed—her clothes had naturally been changed into a light and breathable nightgown.
She also clearly saw the silver-haired girl lying beside her, gently holding her, fast asleep.
"Your Majesty... Lu..."
She recalled the horrific scene before she lost consciousness and frantically tried to shake her off:
"ah!"
...
“Hmm…”
Ludwig was undoubtedly awakened by her big move.
The vampire queen looked up, then with a powerful leap, tackled Ruo Keke, who was trying to escape.
"Hissing..."
"Coco, don't go."
Her cherry-like lips opened and closed, appearing so languid...so cold.
"Come...tell me..."
"What is it about me that Coco is unhappy with? I've always been the Ludwig you know best."
The power of domination is a passive effect. Even if she doesn't actively use it, every word she says will penetrate the hearts of vampires, creating an innate pressure in them and making them feel a deep-seated fear of the queen.
“I’ve always been sincere with you… Where did I go wrong? Why can’t Coco tell me honestly?”
"What did I do to upset you? Tell me, okay?"
The queenly aura emanating from her eyes as she spoke almost caused Ruo Keke's spirit to collapse in fear.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty... Your subordinate, your subordinate—oh no—"
...
Ludwig looked at her, who was on the verge of collapse in terror, her deep, clear bloodshot eyes filled with sorrow.
She patted Ruo Keke's head and gave a wicked smile.
"Ah, I know. Coco must have some mental problems."
"It's okay, just let them 'correct' it properly."
She suddenly climbed onto Ruo Keke's neck and gently stroked the back of her head.
"Come on, drink up."
The next instant, Ludwig brought her fair neck close to Coco's lips, using her queenly command to issue an irresistible order to her brain.
"Drink the Queen's blood."
With vacant eyes, Ruo Keke bared her fangs and bit down on the silver-haired girl's smooth skin without hesitation.
"Hissing..."
...
The silver-haired girl smiled.
"Ugh...it's so itchy."
...
...
Unconsciously, Ruo Keke, who was being manipulated, tightly hugged the "prey" in front of her and feasted on it.
"Gurgle...gurgle..."
"Hiss... um... be gentle..."
The two men made a complete mess of the Queen's tidy bed, and the blood from where she had been fed stained the pillow.
After half an hour of intense lovemaking, even the exquisite silk sheets were kicked off the bed, and the neat, beautiful, and comfortable bed was no more.
After drinking her fill, Ruo Keke collapsed and fainted again, signaling the end of this blood-sucking session.
...
...
Before long, Coco regained consciousness, and she seemed to have become somewhat different.
Her eyes, like Ludwig's, glowed with a blood-red light in the darkness, more pronounced than usual; and her thoughts... seemed no longer to be influenced by the power of domination.
"...Huh?"
She was stunned, not understanding why this was happening.
Ludwig smiled slightly to the side:
"Are you alright, Coco? I knew it would be fine this way."
Coco asked, "What did you do to me...?"
Ludwig said with a smile:
“Of course it’s the ‘Second Embrace’. I had Coco drink my essence blood. Now, Coco is my familiar.”
...
...
Her casual and nonchalant words undoubtedly caused Ruo Keke's brain to freeze on the spot.
"Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh..."
"What? Me?! Your family member?!"
...
Ludwig nodded: "Yes. Otherwise, Coco always seems to distance herself from me."
Coco shook her head repeatedly: "Your Majesty, it's not because of that, I, I—"
Ludwig immediately asked, "Then why is that?"
She looked into Ruo Keke's eyes, and at that moment, even when their eyes met, Ruo Keke no longer felt the unparalleled fear under the Queen's oppressive aura.
"I already said, I am who I am, the same Ludwig you know..."
The silver-haired girl smiled.
"Is it because they find my demeanor as queen too terrifying? Well, there's nothing I can do about it. How can I control the vampire regime and keep humans in check if I don't become a 'dangerous' queen?"
“I have to wear this ‘mask’, even if it becomes my ‘face’ and I can never take it off, I am willing to do so.”
"I've worn many 'masks' throughout my life, but those completely different appearances... are all, in the end, me."
"So, although I'm a guy who often says one thing but means another, I'm also a girl who is true to herself."
"My sincerity towards Coco has never wavered..."
"Coco won't tell me anything, so of course I can only resort to methods that will upset you."
...
When Coco saw her sad expression, she finally realized that she had been misunderstanding her all along.
"But...Your Majesty..."
The silver-haired girl puffed out her cheeks.
"In private, call me Lulu. No honorifics allowed. Call me whatever you like at other times."
