Volume 4, Chapter 2 – The Count’s Eldest Daughter’s Invitation

Contrary to the furious rage Yisi had imagined, Refina, who had now understood that “her master was no longer her master,” instead calmed down. A complex emotion flashed across her beautiful face, and she ultimately adopted a very composed attitude, joining her hands at her waist and bowing slightly to Yisi.

“I understand. The Master had already foreseen the current situation would occur. If Ma—Miss Yisi wishes to completely resolve this matter, please use [Third Form Awakening]. Those were the Master’s exact words.”

“Is that so…”

Refina’s words came as a bit of a surprise to Yisi. In her eyes, the Count’s eldest daughter was an absolute villain who not only enjoyed tormenting the weak but also did everything she could to deepen others’ suffering.

Now, Yisi had clearly taken over her body, yet she didn’t have her subordinate curse her out and had even prepared a plan for this situation in advance, which was truly unexpected.

And the exact words didn’t use an aggressive tone…? Wasn’t she afraid that I would never use [Third Form Awakening]?

Yisi frowned slightly. The Count’s eldest daughter must have some kind of confidence to use this tone. She also knew I had [Third Form Awakening], which meant she could at least view my memories to some extent… Well, I’m in no position to talk about others, since I had gone through all of her memories.

Yisi waved her hand at Refina.

“I understand. When I use [Third Form Awakening] later, I’ll let you stand by and supervise. But for now, I need to confirm the safety of my companions.”

“Understood. You can have a servant notify me at any time.”

It was only when Refina said this that Yisi noticed the many people in black clothes hiding nearby. If she remembered correctly, these were the loyal assassins the Pescia Count had arranged for Refina.

Yisi nodded at Refina, indicating she understood. Led by Camilla, Yisi walked to the carriage where her companions were. This carriage was no different from the others, and the Count’s eldest daughter had indeed treated her companions well.

Except it was too suspicious.

Why hadn’t the Count’s eldest daughter attacked her companions while Yisi was gone? Yisi still clearly remembered the lust the Count’s eldest daughter had for Camilla, that dark desire to defile and possess, which was still etched in Yisi’s mind.

Seeing Yisi board the carriage, Mary and Tiffany, who had been playfully chattering inside, suddenly stopped. As if they had seen a bad person, they quickly retreated to the corner of the carriage, and Tiffany even stood in front of Mary, making a move to protect her.

“Invader.”

Tiffany’s cold tone made Yisi freeze for a moment, then she gave a helpless wry smile.

“I’m Yisi, not Loiswell Edith.”

“You’re lying.”

“Wait, Tiffany, this is the real Master. I can feel it!”

“Mind control.”

Completely disbelieving Mary’s words, Tiffany blocked Mary, who was trying to rush out and hug Yisi. Yisi could only sigh.

“Well… let’s have Camilla explain it.”

Sitting in an outer corner of the carriage, Yisi gave her place to Camilla.

It was only after Camilla also entered the carriage, and after a sufficiently complex verification process, that Tiffany finally believed Yisi’s identity. Of course, the final confirmation was made with blood.

According to Tiffany, the blood of ‘Yisi’ and the blood of ‘Loiswell Edith’ had two completely different smells.

Once things had settled down, Yisi, with her left hand stroking Mary’s head, and Tiffany’s head resting on her lap, began to ask Camilla, who was sitting across from her, for information.

“Although I don’t think anything happened, I’ll confirm just in case… Camilla, the Count’s eldest daughter—that is, Viel—didn’t do anything to you, did she? This will determine my attitude towards her later on.”

“She used your identity for convenience to pass through the human border and enter the vampire territory, and she took the lives of the maggots who tried to stop her, adding to your infamy.”

“So, she didn’t harm you, Camilla, right?”

“That’s right. Although her gaze was disgusting, she didn’t do anything to us besides restricting us to stay by her side.”

“Whew—”

Yisi let out a sigh of relief. If the Count’s eldest daughter had forced Camilla to do something she was unwilling to do, Yisi would have rather never used [Third Form Awakening] and would have never released the Count’s eldest daughter.

As for killing people with this body…

“How did I get out of Antonio City? After I passed out, it must have been Viel controlling the body. Did the ‘maggots’ Camilla mentioned earlier refer to Clementine and them?”

“That’s right. The difference between that woman’s personality and speaking style and yours, Onee-sama, was too great. Coupled with her undisguisable vampire identity, anyone else would have noticed something was off. Clementine thought you were possessed by a demon, so he wanted to take that woman to the Church to be purified.”

Although she knew the Count’s eldest daughter hadn’t been purified, Yisi couldn’t help but lean forward and press on.

“What happened then?”

“Under the siege of all of us, that woman was tied up. However, I thought that taking her to the temple on our own might have a negative effect on you, Onee-sama, so I had Clementine secretly escort us out of Antonio City. After that, that woman contacted Refina, who was acting secretly, and we rushed all the way here from the Hels Kingdom.”

“I see…”

It seemed there had been many twists and turns in between, but in terms of the outcome, it was still within an acceptable range for now.

Yisi lightly scratched Mary’s throat, and Mary made a comfortable purring sound.

When did Mary become so cat-like?

While thinking this, Yisi used [God’s Eye] to check on the status of Mary and Tiffany. Mary was still level 8, and Tiffany had gone from level 5 to level 6. Additionally, although both of them had lost some weight, they didn’t give off a feeling of frailty like Camilla did.

She had made her companions worry too much.

“How long has it been since I lost consciousness?”

Tiffany was the one who answered.

“Two months and eleven and a half days.”

“Did the Count’s eldest daughter do anything horrifying with this body before?”

“Oh, she did. She killed the thieves who tried to rob us, then chopped them into pieces of meat and threw them into the forest to feed the monsters. She also tied up the big sister with the purple hair with restraints and threw her into the carriage—ugh—”

Before Mary could blurt out anything else, Tiffany reached out and covered Mary’s mouth.

“Not for children.”

Yisi probably knew what had happened, but it was completely within her expectations. As for dismembering the bandits, as long as she hadn’t seen it, she wouldn’t feel disgusted.

Ultimately, this body originally belonged to the Count’s eldest daughter, so as long as she didn’t harm Camilla’s group, it was the Count’s eldest daughter’s freedom to do as she pleased.

Then, Yisi suddenly realized an important question.

Had the Count’s eldest daughter inherited her strength? Theoretically, the level 427 strength should belong to this body, and the Count’s eldest daughter should have been able to use it.

However, the truth was that the Count’s eldest daughter was defeated under the siege of Clementine’s group. If the Count’s eldest daughter had inherited her strength, she should have been able to escape from the city, even with just her physical body.

Even if she asked Camilla, Camilla probably wouldn’t know how to answer this question. Yisi planned to go and ask the Count’s eldest daughter directly. Since the Count’s eldest daughter had left an invitation and hadn’t done anything to her companions, Yisi had no reason not to accept the meeting.

Ignoring it was, of course, an option, but no one could guarantee that the Count’s eldest daughter wouldn’t appear again. If the Count’s eldest daughter, because Yisi didn’t accept the invitation, were to take her anger out on Camilla and the others the next time she appeared, it would be too late to regret it.

The reason the Count’s eldest daughter didn’t use an aggressive tone to threaten her was probably because she knew Yisi would worry about this exact thing.

Taking a deep breath, Yisi first ruffled Mary’s chestnut hair, then patted Tiffany who was lying on her lap, and stood up from her seat.

“Well then, without further ado, let’s go deal with that guy now.”
