Deep in the palace of the Dream Demon Kingdom, a petite and exquisite figure held her breath as she carefully opened the letter from the Blood Kingdom.
Her movements were cautious, and once the seal was broken, she nervously squeezed her eyes shut.
This figure was, of course, Ziya.
She never expected that a reply would arrive in her hands after just one day.
She was filled with both anticipation and unease regarding the letter’s contents, her heart fluttering with anxiety.
‘How will Sister Baining reply to me?’
‘Will she politely refuse, or use various excuses to delay… or is she truly willing to let Father come here…’
‘No, no! Good news shouldn’t be spoken aloud, or the luck will run out!’
Ziya silently warned herself before slowly opening her eyes.
She read the letter word by word, and her originally tense expression gradually relaxed.
The gloom between her brows vanished completely until finally
“Wahahaha — Sister Baining agreed!”
Overjoyed, Ziya leapt onto the soft bed beside her, clutching a pillow as she rolled around among the quilts.
“Roll ~ Roll ~”
Her excitement was plain to see, and her heart’s joy nearly overflowed from her eyes.
The letter that had changed her mood lay quietly on the desk.
“Dear Little Sister Ziya, Pops and I have been living very happily. Due to a momentary oversight, I actually forgot the promise I made to you…”
However, your sister isn’t a stingy person.
When you have time, come to the Blood Kingdom — either tomorrow or the day after is fine — and pick up Pops.
It will only be for a period of three months, though.
When you come over, remember to bring some blood from your Dream Demon Kingdom.
Your sister hasn’t tasted it in a long time and misses it dearly.
As for the matter of Military Power, Pops gave me a harsh scolding after he found out.
Nevertheless, I will continue to keep it safe for you for now.
I still feel that you should concentrate on studying politics before taking command of the army.
It is a pity that there are no generals by your side who can stand on their own yet; otherwise, “I wouldn’t have to worry so much.”
“Still thinking of you, Sister Baining.”
After finishing the letter, Ziya skipped over to push open her door, immediately spotting her closest attendant, Rongrong.
Without a word, she lunged forward and hugged her.
“Rongrong! Father… I can finally bring him back to live with me!”
“That is truly worth celebrating. However, Your Majesty, did you actually have a father?”
“Yes, uh…”
Ziya suddenly seemed to remember something, and her voice came to a dead stop.
“Now… I should probably call him Mother…”
“Forgive me, Your Majesty, but I… don’t quite understand what you mean.”
Rongrong was completely bewildered, her face full of confusion.
“How did her Queen suddenly gain a father out of nowhere?”
Moreover, the partners of the previous Queens had always been women; she had never heard of a man existing among them.
Furthermore, one second she called him Father, and the next she changed it to Mother…
“Could it be that Her Majesty had found someone she liked outside and was playing some kind of romantic roleplay?”
In the Dream Demon Kingdom, such behavior was commonplace.
“How could one be called a Succubus without a bit of romantic flair?”
It was just that her Majesty was so innocent and cute.
However, such a personality was actually a good thing for governing the country.
“Rongrong, he’s actually the foster father who raised me. I’ve mentioned him to you before.”
“Your Majesty, are you referring to… Master Lü Erlu?”
Rongrong had a deep impression of that name.
Back then, Ziya, a member of the Royal Bloodline, had suddenly appeared in the nearly extinct Dream Demon territories alongside the Vampire Queen.
All the surviving clansmen were shocked.
But upon learning that the Royal Bloodline had not been severed, the people were ecstatic.
Rongrong had always felt a sense of awe and gratitude toward the human named Lü Erlu.
“Mhm, that’s him! It’s just that now, I’ve already turned him into a Dream Demon like us.”
“This…”
Rongrong was startled, her expression changing slightly.
“Your Majesty, did you perhaps use the Dream Demonization Secret Law?”
“Yes, yes, that’s the one!”
“Your Majesty, I must remind you that the Dream Demonization Secret Law has side effects. I simply do not know what kind of situation will occur when used on Master Lü Erlu…”
“Wh-What? There are actually side effects?”
Ziya panicked instantly.
“Yes. The previous Queen once used this method to transform a pure-hearted Elf into a Dream Demon, but that Elf’s personality underwent a drastic change…”
“By day, he would go to extreme lengths to tenderly cater to the Queen’s every whim, but behind her back, he would secretly sneak off to the pleasure districts of the Human Empire…”
“Wh-Wh-What —!!”
“The Queen only found out later that the Dream Demonization Secret Law had actually awakened some kind of peculiar nature within that Elf… To put it simply, he transformed into a seductive beauty. He would accompany the Queen at night, but during the day, he would mingle with human men, wearing heavy makeup… a gyaru Elf…”
“N-No way… Then wouldn’t Father be…!”
“The side effects are different for everyone. Master Lü Erlu might not be affected, but it is better to be cautious.”
“Ugh… this is bad…”
‘Father… he won’t awaken some strange fetish, will he?’
‘A seductive, charming Father or something like that… I absolutely don’t want that —!’
(Chapter One of Ziya’s Expectations is still under review; interested readers can go back and read it later.)
I hope that after changing it once, the editors will let it pass.
“Wah.”
