"Dear Princess, the Majesty is waiting for you in her room, you should know the way!"
"Mm-hmm! If you have something to do, go ahead and get busy!"
" Dear Princess, thank you for understanding." Candace bowed toward Iris and left.
"Goooo..."
Iris was so hungry! It's been almost a day since Iris has eaten, and she wonder what Lilia is calling herself to.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Come on in!"
"Are you looking for...looking for me for something?" Iris stood in front of Lilia in a disciplined manner.
"You’re hungry, right!"
"No, I'm not hungry! "
"Goooooooooooooooooooo ......," Iris smiled awkwardly..
"Then you come over here!"
With that, Lilia untied the ribbon behind her back, revealing her fragrant shoulders.
"Hey hey hey?!"
Iris froze, wondering what was going on with Lilia.
"Weren't you hungry? Come here!" Lilia's seductive voice appealed to Iris.
Iris gulped, and she didn't understand why she was gulping. Looking at Lilia's white neck, it looked like it was delicious.
"Yes! That's it, follow your heart and don't have any resistance." Lilia kept enticing Iris.
Iris walked towards Lilia's arms step by step gradually, and Iris felt an inexplicable interest in Lilia's neck.
Instinctively, Iris lightly raised her lips to reveal two slightly longer sharp teeth, which slowly and precisely pierced the artery, and Iris closed her eyes with enjoyment, her long, slender eyelashes constantly fluttering. And only the rolling of her throat made it noticeable that this was a blood family feeding rather than kissing each other's necks.
Lilia, on the other hand, smiled all the way. The fact that the little one was no longer resisting, meaning that Iris was beginning to accept her new identity.
"What a good girl!" Lilia murmured.
After being satisfied, Iris used to wipe her mouth with her sleeve, but was stopped by Lilia.
Lilia took out a tissue and wiped the blood stain next to the corner of her daughter's mouth, laughing, "Wiping the mouth by sleeve is a bad habit, I hope you can change it."
Iris nodded.
"Go rest when you've had enough!"
"Okay...okay."
After Iris left, Lilia showed a tired look, "It's so tiring to raise a daughter! Sucking so much of my blood and not knowing how to feel for me at all."
This time, Lilia realized how tiring it is to be a mother. The newborns of the blood race must eat blood within seven days, and it is better to be able to suck the mother's blood, otherwise it is easy to cause the bat's wings to be too short to fly.
"The little one is in pretty good shape!"
......
Back inside the room, Iris crouched in the corner with her head in her hands, muttering to herself, "What am I doing? Sucking others’ blood? Am I still considered human? Why do I find blood so delicious? Isn't it supposed to smell fishy? Why do I like this smell? Am I a human or a monster?"
"I have to get out of here, I don't want to be a monster!"
"How many people have you killed to stay alive? How much different can you be from a monster?"
"No, no, no! I'm a human, not a monster!"
"For blood race, how different are they from monsters in the eyes of humans?"
"There is still hope to become human again!"
"Don't be silly, accept what you are, you're a Blood."
Iris asked herself as if she had another personality.
After a struggle of the mind, Iris gradually calmed down She thought that as long as she could live, no matter what she could become, it is worth it. No matter whether there’s blood stained in my hands, or if it takes millions of lives to make me live, it’s worth it.
At night, Iris lay in bed and went to sleep, and the crows stood at the window and kept pecking at it.
"Da da da da, da da da da!"
When Iris was awakened by this, she lifted the red curtain and saw a huge crow staring at her, with black feathers and bloodthirsty eyes, suddenly opening its bloody mouth.
Iris was frightened and backed away. Fortunately, the glass of the castle was made of special glass, which the crow could not break.
Of course, Iris could not be threatened easily. She stared at the crow with vengeance, as if to fight it to the death. Suddenly, Iris cried out, "Mother! Come and save me."
Crow: "???"
With a shout from Iris, thunder roared outside the sky, and twenty-four falling thunderbolts descended with precision.
The crow should have been struck down by the thunder, but for some reason the crow could never get down in the air, even though its wings were not fluttering.
Just like that the crow could only endure the pain of the falling thunder, and Lilia slowly walked over and looked out the window at the sixth-ranked magical beast, the Black Tricky Poisonous Crow.
"Oh! How dare you want to eat my children, it is necessary to put all of magical beasts to death." Lilia absolutely could not tolerate anyone who could harm her daughter.
"Iris go rest in my room."
"Mm-hmm!" Iris left with her pillow in her arms.
"How dare a sixth-ranked magical beast not stay properly in your own territory and come over to attack my daughter."
"Thunderbolt Hook Claw!" The lightning turned into a chain with hooks and claws and stabbed into the Black Tricky Poisonous Crow.
Lilia's hand clenched, and in an instant the Black Crow was reduced to ashes.
"No one can harm my daughter, it is necessary to destroy all of these beasts." Lilia looked through the window at the ordinary crows circling in the sky.
Returning to her room, Lilia looked at her daughter sleeping and found her very cute, and then fell asleep with her arms around Iris.
The rising sun enveloped the vast forest, and the rosebuds in the sunny breeze still burst into bloom as if they smiled with crispness, simplicity mesmerizing, delicate as silk white so light. The morning dew on the petals were like crystal, reflecting the colorful glow in the bright morning sunshine.
Iris, opening her lazy eyes, scratched her disheveled hair, stretched, yawned and slowly walked out of bed.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Please come in." Iris looked breathless.
"Dear Princess, it is time for you to wash up." Candace said.
"Where did Mother go?"
"The Majesty went out early in the morning, and this is the bag of blood left for you. A teacher will be back in a few minutes, so please hurry, Dear Princess, otherwise it will tarnish the royal image."
"All right!"
After washing up, Iris sat quietly in front of the dressing and sucked the blood. Candace wanted to stop her princess, but due to the time, she did not say anything more, instead she grabbed the time to dress her princess.
"Dear Princess, please never eat while you are dressing up in the future or the Majesty will be angry. Fortunately, the Majesty is not here today." Candace reminded.
"What? She's so picky." Iris said it without any scruples.
"Dear Princess, you are the Majesty's daughter, you can't talk about the Majesty like that, which is too disrespectful. And the Majesty will punish you if she knows that you are bad-mouthing her behind her back."
"It's okay, as long as you don't say anything, she won't know."
"Dear Princess! Calling your mother by 'she' is also a ......"
"Okay, okay! She will not know this." Iris interrupted.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"All right! I'll open the door, and you mustn't say anything."
Candace looked at the princess's back and shook her head.
