"Your Highness Shirley… Highness Shirley?"
While asleep, Shirley vaguely felt someone calling her name, and her body trembled in response.
"Hum… hum…"
The girl made a sound similar to a murmur, and at the same time, the voice that had been calling her stopped.
She wasn’t sure if it was because she was in a trance, but it seemed she could hear some kind of rapid, sickly breathing.
It sounded like a wolf that had been hungry for days making noise upon finding a plump lamb roasting deliciously. This terrified her.
However, she had no intention of getting up to find out.
What a joke!
It’s time to sleep now!
Waking up in any way other than the “natural awakening” is a great blasphemy against the sacred sleep!
With such firm belief, Shirley tightly hugged the soft and fluffy pillow, planning to return to sleep in a more indulgent way.
Only then did everything seem calm again.
...
But soon, the gentle voice that disturbed her dreams sounded again.
“Your Highness Shirley, it’s time to get up…”
Humph—
Is she really the “wake-up witch”?
Though she tried her best to resist, the sound inevitably penetrated Shirley’s ears.
Did she think I couldn’t stay in bed because I wasn’t asleep?
Hmm… how naive.
At this moment, Shirley’s thoughts gradually became active, but she still had no intention of getting up.
Normally, she might have woken up groggy, but because of the “tea” from yesterday, she had gone to bed very late.
“Seriously~” the person sighed helplessly and said in an affectionate tone, “It’s been two hundred years. It’s time to wake up; the moon outside is shining.”
Two hundred years—
What’s wrong with being two hundred years old? You can’t stay in bed at two hundred years old!? Who says you can’t stay in bed at two hundred years old!?
Shirley thought with such confidence and felt her face being held by a pair of cold and soft hands.
The coldness in the palms was lifeless, but Shirley didn’t feel the slightest discomfort and even felt a bit comfortable.
After all… they are the same creature.
“If you don’t get up, Karina will come…” said the other party, gently wiping her face with a handkerchief.
Well…
Drooling again…
Shirley felt a bit embarrassed.
Although she once denied having the habit of drooling while sleeping, her defense was very weak in the face of irrefutable facts.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
When she was several decades old, she drooled almost every day while sleeping.
However, as she grew older, this bad habit gradually disappeared.
Drooling only happens when I’m in a deep sleep.
Certainly, it’s because sleeping during the day is so comfortable…
No, no, no, now is not the time to think about that.
Shirley mentally shook her head, as it seemed she had just heard some strange name.
It’s a word that is familiar, so familiar that it couldn’t be more familiar.
“What a joke! Why did that person, Karina, come here!”
Shirley suddenly opened her eyes like a cat with its fur bristling and grabbed the pillow as if wanting to vent her anger.
The soft pillow was torn to pieces amidst her mournful cries, and the stuffing flew around for a while.
“No, she seemed to have said she would come yesterday…”
After venting for a moment, Shirley calmed down, and the memory of yesterday also emerged.
Karina…
Just that person, you must not let that person see you sleeping!
“Luna, help me get dressed!”
With these instructions, Shirley looked at the “wake-up witch” beside her who had awakened her.
She is an extremely kind woman.
No matter her appearance, movements, eyes, or everything else you can imagine, she displays a unique temperament called “kindness.”
She has dark brown eyes, like calm pools of water.
Her long brown hair is pinned with a simple clip.
In both ears, she wears a pair of earrings inlaid with sapphires.
She is dressed in a refined and traditional maid’s outfit with some changes in details, and it looks no less than those aristocratic outfits.
However, what stands out the most is her chest size…
Hmm…
How to put it…
It can give people a strong visual impact and make them feel overwhelmed!
Luna Bartoli is a vampire who has been loyal to the “Bartoli” family for tens of thousands of years.
She obtained the position of “Maid” back in Shirley’s mother’s time.
If Shirley had not been born, she would still be sleeping now.
However, to take care of the still young Shirley, Shirley’s mother had her awakened and made her serve as Shirley’s personal maid.
“Yes.”
Luna slightly bowed, saluted, and responded respectfully.
Then, at an extremely fast speed, Shirley was taken out of her pajamas, dressed in a beautiful white princess dress, and sat upright in front of the vanity.
The velvet from the bed and floor also vanished without a trace.
Throughout the process, Shirley did not feel as if her body was being moved, but felt comfortable.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Shirley couldn’t help but gently caress her cheek with her white fingers.
“Luna, I’m so beautiful——”
The girl said extremely narcissistic words in a slightly melancholic tone.
“Yes, Your Highness, your beauty is incomparable.”
Luna, who responded, answered naturally.
Hearing Luna’s response, Shirley lifted the corners of her mouth, revealing a sharp tiger’s tooth, in pleasure with her own beauty.
“Go help me prepare breakfast.”
“Yes.”
After Luna turned and left, Shirley continued to look at herself in the mirror.
She looked like a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, as cute as a doll.
Her skin color was somewhere between fair and pale.
Her delicate nose was small and cute. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing her sharp teeth.
A pair of beautiful crystalline red eyes, exuding a bloody light, and combined with short and fluffy silver-white hair, they were even more beautiful.
Not to mention that, as a vampire, she also possessed an innate aristocratic temperament and an alternative, somewhat childish and charming aura.
By the way, it’s been two hundred years since I came to this world…
Shirley thought.
Although she has lived in another world for two hundred years, she has no real sense of it.
If she were a stupid earthling who had lived for two hundred years, she would probably seem to have gone through many vicissitudes in life.
But Shirley is completely different.
In the last two hundred years, she has learned a lot of knowledge, including but not limited to aristocratic etiquette, world history, racial origins, magic, alchemy, and other extremely important knowledge.
But no matter how much knowledge she has learned or how many years have passed, her mental age always remained in an extremely young (naive) state.
By the way, when Shirley was bored, she also explored the reasons for her change in mindset.
The process of exploration was tortuous and the path difficult, but Shirley did not give up.
After decades of hard research, she finally asked her mother and got the answer.
Soul, memory, will—what is the relationship between the three?
They are inextricably linked but have nothing to do with each other.
The soul is not created out of nothing, nor does it disappear into nothing.
New life is produced after the union of man and woman.
The cells of both parents create a new life, and the souls of both parents create new souls…
Shirley’s body was created by a vampire, so her body is a vampire's body, and her soul is also a vampire's soul.
However, before the soul of “Shirley” had a memory, another memory from a human on earth entered this body and also accepted this memory, finally forming Shirley’s current will.
