With Dorothy’s words, Adele’s heart seemed to skip a beat with a “thump-thump!” sound. What was with this classic horror movie vibe!

And the key problem was, Adele knew that Dorothy wouldn’t lie to her! So that meant... that unknown being was right behind her at this moment, watching her with an unknown expression!

The most escapist method was undoubtedly to pretend that the other party had gone the wrong way. But—you can fool your friends, and they might just laugh it off, but don’t fool yourself, Adele!!

So after a moment of silent tension, Adele, like a robot with gears, turned her head stiffly, bit by bit, to look at the silver-haired woman who had appeared behind her at some point. The woman smiled and raised her hand to wave at her.

And Adele also stiffly responded with polite words. “H-Hello.”

“How’s the weather today?”

It was an awkward conversation with a blank mind.

“As for the weather, do you like rainbows?” the silver-haired woman said casually. As soon as she finished speaking, a rainbow bridge spanning the sky from north to south suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

Wait a minute! Using weather magic in front of Muggles is illegal! But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the silver-haired woman in front of her might be a member of the “ability terrorist organization,” or even the biggest villain BOSS, so it was fine.

And the scary thing was not that she openly used such magic, but that the level of this magic in elemental magic was very high, but the other party could use it casually... It was unknown whether this was showing off or some kind of deterrence.

Just when Adele was not feeling well, she heard Dorothy suddenly ask in a puzzled tone, “Do you know me?”

The girl hugged the tight chest of her school uniform and looked up at the unfamiliar silver-haired woman who was separated from her by an Adele and a distance. There was no fear or confusion, only the calm and self-assuredness of a queen who despised everything.

This was also the point where Dorothy was different from Adele and different from many girls. Adele could be flexible, and most others also understood the principle of retreating when necessary. But Dorothy, as the future king of the Vampire Clan, except for the people she liked (Adele), was willing to surrender.

For others, even if they were in a higher position and had greater power, such as True Ancestors, Headmistress Winona, etc., she only regarded them indifferently. It was not arrogant, contemptuous, this was the aura of a queen.

For some reason, a trace of obvious appreciation flashed in the silver-haired woman’s eyes. She passed by Adele and walked towards Dorothy.

Until this moment, Adele suddenly realized that the other party’s target might not have been herself from the beginning... but Dorothy, who had a secret appointment with her! It was just that Adele and the silver-haired woman had met once, so she would think more about it.

The girl’s pupils suddenly shrank to a point. Then, what everyone didn’t expect was that Adele, under the huge pressure given by the silver-haired woman, under the restraint of her own flexible creed... still acted, and once again came in front of the moving silver-haired woman.

And also in front of Dorothy, always protecting the girl behind her with her body.

“Adele...”

“Stupid, why are you acting like such a queen?...”

“If something happens to you, I will definitely not let you off lightly!”

“...”

It was clearly a caring statement, but it was still said so... “uniquely.” But after Dorothy heard it, she still felt a warmth in her heart.

And she couldn’t help but hug Adele’s body from behind, resting her chin on her shoulder. It looked almost like she was going to kiss her.

“!?”

Adele’s whole body instantly fluffed up, not knowing if it was because of shyness and sensitivity, or some other reason. Maybe both. At this moment, the girl’s heart was undoubtedly desperate.

Dorothy! What are you doing with the enemy in front of you! And cuddling in front of the silver-haired woman, is it really not fast enough to anger her! Obviously, you can do more in private...

But then a sentence from Dorothy made Adele’s chaotic heart stop.

“Don’t worry, Adele, I have a hunch...”

“She won’t hurt us.”

“Um?” The silver-haired woman made a playful nasal sound.

Ying Zhou looked at the elegant pink-haired girl in front of her with complicated eyes, her unknown number of generations of descendants. In her eyes, there was the appearance of her past.

At that time, she seemed to be like Dorothy in front of her, with absolute self-confidence. And this almost arrogant self-confidence was also proved by Ying Zhou’s constantly advancing and strengthening power in the future time, she deserved to have it.

And as for Dorothy... she was still in the process of climbing the mountain, and she was far from it. But Ying Zhou certainly recognized Dorothy’s self-confidence, because this was one of the necessary conditions to become the queen of the Vampire Clan.

Dorothy raised her eyes and looked at Ying Zhou’s eyes that were no different from her own, with wine-red eyes.

“You feel very familiar to me...”

“But I’m sure I’ve never had any contact with you in the past.”

“But...”

“But your blood doesn’t think so. They’re starting to get excited, aren’t they?” Ying Zhou smiled and said, seeing through Dorothy’s abnormality at a glance.

“Yes, so why is that?” Dorothy admitted. At the same time, a bold guess... emerged in her heart.

“Or rather, who are you?”

But the so-called boldness of the girl could only guess that the silver-haired woman in front of her might be like her, a descendant of the Black Emperor, possessing the supreme and noble bloodline of the Black Emperor. So her blood would be excited and resonate.

But the truth was that she absolutely couldn’t guess, and she didn’t dare to think about it...

Ying Zhou ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) didn’t intend to beat around the bush, especially to Dorothy, her trusted descendant. But this Miss Adele who deceived herself into not knowing Lislotte and turned around and called the Legendary Mage...

Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Ying Zhou didn’t expect to hide her identity. So she acquiesced to Adele’s existence and gave Dorothy the answer to her question.

The silver-haired woman raised her hand, gently took off the mask on her face, and then smiled.

“The following sentence may have an unpleasant ambiguity.”

“But... I am your ancestor, my dear, unknown number of generations of granddaughter, Dorothy~”
