Chapter 77: The King’s Request

He saw the slight surprise on my face, picked up a wine glass from beside him, and handed it to me.

“Being reborn as a vampire must be inconvenient in a lot of ways. This has the same recipe as the one Fuwelle gave you.”

“Huh… recipe?”

“She didn’t tell you? That girl… if she was going to take you in, why didn’t she explain it clearly… This is a compound made from the fruit and resin of the Dragon’s Breath tree. It’s not pure sap from the tree.”

“Eh? I don’t really know about that. Anyway, as long as I can eat my fill, that’s enough for me.”

I picked up the glass and took a slow sip. It did taste the same as the one the Young Master gave me, but this was my first time drinking it from a wine glass.

“You’re really down-to-earth… Anyway, back to the main topic. Actually, reincarnated people… can’t return to their original world. I’ll tell you now so you can be mentally prepared.”

He looked at me seriously. He had the same blue-green eyes as the Young Master. In the candlelight, the father and daughter looked even more alike.

“Actually, I already knew. I’ve made peace with it. Since I can’t go back, I’ll start over here.”

The King looked at me strangely, then suddenly hugged me. I was so startled that the half-finished glass in my hand dropped to the floor.

“Thank you, Miss Chuye. It’s truly wonderful that you came to this world.”

After a moment, he let go. I could see a tear slide down the young-looking King’s face.

“Your Majesty, what’s wrong?”

He smiled at me and began to speak.

“Fuwelle once fell seriously ill. I searched for famous doctors all over the world, but they all said they couldn’t identify the cause or treat her.

“She ran a high fever for a week. When everyone told me she wouldn’t survive the night, I broke down completely.

“That day, I came to this church. A girl in a black cloak was sitting right in this spot. I had never seen her before, and this isn’t a place just anyone can enter.

“I walked closer. She turned her head to look at me, then asked if I wanted to save my daughter. With no other options, I didn’t ask who she was and simply nodded.

“She handed me a round brown fruit. She told me to press it into juice and give it to her to drink. It would extend her life.

“But she would only have ten more years. To survive, she would still need to meet someone.

“I asked her who. She answered without hesitation: a reincarnated person, one she liked. As long as that person stayed by her side, she wouldn’t relapse.

“After saying that, she threw a map at me and dissolved into black mist. She told me to wait there a year later. But when I went to search, I couldn’t find any trace of anyone in that cave.

“Just when I thought it was over, you suddenly appeared beside Fuwelle, who lives nearby. I guessed you were the reincarnated person.

“And last night, I dreamed of you. In the dream, you told me you were one.

“So I immediately invited you here. I didn’t think you’d really come, Miss Chuye.”

‘This must be what the Magic Box, Ashiya, told him. Is it really that simple, just staying by the Young Master’s side? And that cave is the one where I first arrived in this world.

‘He invited me here… doesn’t he know this church is dangerous for vampires? But maybe this is my mission.’

He went on.

“That fruit did extend her life, but it made the Young Master forget the mother she loved most. She only remembers that she had a mother who was very gentle to her. She remembers nothing else.

“So I hope you can take her to see her mother.”

“Huh? Didn’t her mother stage a revolt and go back to her original country?”

‘So that’s why the Young Master forgot her mother and those memories. That explains a lot.’
