When I wake up again, the sky is pitch black, or maybe it is due to the rose's magic. After I woke up, I called Rose, and she again came out of nowhere.
How can you come out of nowhere, Rose? I saw Aunty Eco, and my dad has done the same." I asked with anticipation.
"My little princess Lyra, this is called teleportation. You can also do it when you are a talent level 4 vampire or over."
"Rose, what is my level now?", I asked while playing with my silky hair.
"Pardon me, I have no idea, little princess Lyra... Your dad would take you to check your power this evening at our sacred altar. You will know in detail which elements you have an affinity with and your talent level." She said this while performing a cleaning spell on me.
"Ok, I understand, Rose," I replied while looking around my room with sparkly eyes.
Unlike when I woke up, this room has a large canopy bed, a dressing room full of different types of dresses, a reading table, and a comfy chair. Also, one side of the room has a big balcony. I walk to the balcony, and I can see two moons in the sky. One is decaying; another is in full bloom...
"Rose, those two moons can never be in the same phase. Like we cannot see two full moons together?" I asked while enjoying the cold breeze and quiet night sky!
"Yes, we can see two full moons once in thousands of years when the devil king unlocks his seal. My little princess, Lyra, You need to grow up soon. This world will need you soon, dear. You are very important to this world!" Rose said this while dressing me up in a red and black dress.
The dress is very pretty. It includes a red and black tank top and leggings combo, a dark and sinister coatdress, and a red belt to tie it all together. Pair those items with some similarly sinister dark makeup. Then I am all ready to go on a castle tour. Also, I can see myself with my dearest Bao, as she came back after leveling up, and now she is more bubbly and sweet.
"Baby Bao, sorry, I never intended to mock you or harm you, so can you forgive me?" I said this with an apologetic tone.
Bao started to fly around me and said in a gleeful tone, How can I be mad at you? You and I are both the same. I kind of like this name too, but I have a mission for you; you have to find my missing black rose gem, then you can use my full power."
I asked while patting, "Where is the black rose gem? I will try my best to find it for my dearest Bao."
"You are not powerful enough to get it; you need to start practicing your magic soon. When the time is right, I will tell you its location," Bao replied while turning into my tattoo again.
After dressing up, we started our castle tour. My room is on the 3rd floor of the castle, and there is only one other room on that floor; that's my dad's. The hallway is very long, and it has portraits of our predecessors. All of them are pretty cool-looking. Even one of the vampire kings was a woman. But her portrait seems incomplete, but still, it cannot hide her beauty... She was the first queen of vampires, Luna Ariyana de Vamps, but not much is known about her. Rose is also unaware of her legends, and maybe no one before me has seen this portrait. It is like some power has restricted her presence. I asked Bao about her, but she didn't give any reply. The 3rd floor has some locked rooms that no one has permission to enter except the vampire king himself, but there are also restrictions. Rose explained everything to me.
After finishing the third floor, we go exploring the second floor. The second floor has lots of rooms that are used by relatives of the vampire king and also for guests. Here, we have a great library of thousands of books. And when I entered the library, I saw flying books. You just need to imagine the type of book you want, and books will come to you on their own. It amazed me. I took one elementary magic learning book and passed it to Rose. Rose stored it in her space pouch, and that's how I know about space pouches. Space pouches can be made with space magic holders. And space magic holders are very rare, so this space pouch is very valuable. Still, she can use it without thinking about anything, which means Rose may have another identity. Whatever we do to solve this problem later, let's continue our castle tour.
Then, on our first floor, we have a vast ballroom and my dad's office. Also, some rooms are used for the study purposes of princes and princesses. There are also some rooms used temporarily for guests. Also, we have a big dining room here.
At last, we come down to the ground floor, where we have an imperial staircase, and it's pretty. We have the kitchen on the ground floor and also rooms for servants. We have a big room for receiving guests, too, which is called a parlor. We also have a storage room where we keep our ingredients fresh with magic and so on.
On the outside of the castle, we have a big garden full of black roses. Also, there is a place for moongazing. We have a training place at the back of the castle, too. The castle is too big to tell everything, but I noticed one white rose among the black roses in our imperial garden, so I asked Rose about it.
"Rose, why is there only one white rose here?", I asked while approaching the crystal-like white rose. It feels like it was calling me...
Before I could listen to Rose's reply, I had already touched the white rose and started to black out.
When I woke up again, I saw a girl gradually grow up in a world like Earth. She was a girl with a shiny and bubbly personality. Everyone loved her. She had a loving family, but one day a black vortex came out of nowhere and sucked her in, and then she was thrown into another world where she knew nothing.People there worshipped her as a saint, but later they came to know their saint had an affinity for dark magic, so they wanted to kill her and summon another saint with the power of light to seal the devil king. She ran away from her own race and came into vampire territory unknowingly, but when other vampires didn't want to accept a human, the prince of Darkania came and accepted her on two conditions. Condition No. 1 was that she had to change her race, and Condition No. 2 was that she had to join him in sealing the devil king.She accepted the second condition, but as for the first, she wanted to keep her human consciousness, so she proposed the idea of marrying one of the vampires.
After taking the Black rose jeweled necklace, Bao came out on her own and started to dance in mid-air. When my dad saw Bao, He bowed."Greetings, The greatest queen of Vampires!", My dad said respectfully."No need; I am not that fool anymore... Only half of my soul is in this mirror, and the other half is in that black rose jewel. Can I have this?" Bao asked gently."But within this Jewel, my mom's last part of the soul is in; how can I give it to you, bao?" I said this while crying."Don't worry, child. You are extremely lucky that your mom left this Jewel for you; with this jewel, my soul would be completed and the curse on vampires would be lifted. We won't be creatures that are neither dead nor alive anymore." She said this while pondering something."But what about my mom?" I asked.Bao is silent, and so is my father too. Both of them can understand my dilemma."I can restore your mom's soul if a bit of her soul is in there, But it would take a long time, and you have to be power
After learning everything, I came to understand how powerful the vampire race is and how badly I need to protect my heart from dark thoughts. The dark magic is powerful, but it is easy to lose control and do a massacre, so I decided not to fall in love and help my ancestor, as helping her also helps our full race, and my mom's soul can be nourished.So I said confidently and bowed my head towards my life mirror, aka the greatest vampire queen Luna Ariana Da Vamp, "I have already decided, the greatest queen of vampires, that I would give you the black rose gem as it would benefit all of our clansmen. We can approach the light again. Also, you said you would help restore my mom's soul. So, it's a good deal.""But dear, you can treat me as your friend, Bao, like before. I will continue to guide you as you become stronger. The faster you grow up, the faster your mom can be resurrected. The necklace would be the same as now; just the mirror would fuse with the gem. Now I can even come outsi
I woke up in a bed, but this time it was not a new bed but the old canopy one, and someone was holding my hands."You woke up? It is great! I thought I would lose you like your mom. Don't do so much risky work like this anymore. You still have your dad... If I could have found out some way, then you wouldn't have to suffer this much. I am sorry, my dear child,", My dad said while having a shaky voice. He pats my head lightly while looking at me very affectionately. I can feel his love for me, and I think he is missing someone whom he reminisces about while seeing me... I can guess, but I'm not sure if I should bring it up or not. I should use this rare moment to make a good memory and get a lot of love from my dearest dad. But I still want to know about my mom; I would rather play by ear."Dad.. ", I tried to call my dad affectionately, but I cannot say it anymore, and my voice sounds hoarse. I have the desire to drink something that can quench my thirst. Dad seems to understand what i
We finished our garden tour and the little tea party without talking about anything more. While I would go back to my room, I would ask my dad with both confidence and a confused tone,” Really, no one can change their destiny? What would happen if we tried to change others’ destinies? Nothing can be constant, right? We should be the ones who shape our destinies. Our karma would decide everything. Who cares about the result if I can try my best?”My dad stared at me with her red-gilded eyes, which were shining like a red ruby. His eyebrows raised slightly, and he raised the corner of his mouth and started to talk with me in a soft voice that sounded like a song to me. "My dear daughter; My Lyra. I am proud of you!”He also asked,” Do you want to know what would happen if you interfered with others’ destiny?”I nodded in response.“Okay. If you insist, I will tell you. You may have some vision, as your mother was a saint, and all saints can see the future to a certain extent. But everyon
Everything around me started to come back to life. The altar started to glow, and the dark orb began to release dark particles. Many creatures that can live in the dark came back to life. Everything changed; the twin moon started to glow, and the altar started to look more mysterious—dark but blooming with life.I came back to my feet, and where I stepped, there blossomed a flower, the red lily, the flower of death.I ran to my dad, hugged him, and told him what happened. He listened to me seriously and carried me in his arms. At the same time, Bao came out and told me to stop the mana flow or else I would drop dead even before my mission was completed. But the problem was that I didn't know what mana flow was or what mana was. I tried to concentrate as I saw in different novels. When I focused, I seemed to see something like some darkish green particles emitting from my body. My whole body is full of those particles. I guess these particles are called mana. But they are more concentra
After Bao bound me in my room with her magic, she gave me punishment for teasing her. I gotta level up my heart core to level 11 and to do this I need to know how to control my mana. She said Rose would deliver my food as long as I behaved well. So, I stopped overthinking and made my mind focused and calm. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on my heart as I do so I can see a love-shaped blackish-green core with the green rune. I can feel their desire for mana particles…So I started to focus farther than my heart. I can see all of my blood vessels carrying blood and when I am inhaling different colors mana particles are coming inside me without doing anything but my core doesn't absorb them. There were dark particles too, but they were not absorbed. So I started to think of a possible reason…My heart core is not usually one element of the heart core…it has undergone mutation to stay together peacefully so it is not a dark core or life core. It is a combination of dark and life elemen
When I enter the room, I can see Bao in her black cat shape. She is staring intently at someone. I can only see someone lying on the bed and Bao is sitting near his head. When I approached her, she looked back at me with her red bloody eyes and started talking…"At last you are here, you brat!" she said while snickering at me…"Yeah, I am back unlike someone who abandoned her companion to look at some pretty boy, hmph, I must be the prettiest in this world, what do you see in that guy? " I said while staring at her intensely."Not bad, you leveled up your heart core. Now, come here! You can now use your life magic power on him. Maybe he can survive if you aid him. By the way, you have drunk his blood so you must repay it by doing something for him. We vampire race are Nobel. We always repay what we owe to others." She said while looking at me seriously."Ok, I will try but I don't know
