The day after the amusement park crisis, despite it being the weekend, all Cromwell Academy dorm residents were placed under lockdown. No one was allowed to leave the campus. This caused some dissatisfaction among the vampire girls, but after receiving warnings from their families, they all quieted down and accepted reality.

Adele knew this was because of her...or rather, her and Xiao Ai. But as the victim, she didn’t think she was responsible. And staying home was easy and enjoyable for Adele, so this news was good for her. She also needed time to calm down and comfort Xiao Ai, who had been frightened (although it wasn’t apparent on the surface, Adele thought so).

Dorothy was still staying at Adele’s dorm, but she looked worried about her future. Fortunately, Adele’s gentle companionship and comfort were there, otherwise, Dorothy might have done something impulsive. But now she had calmed down, understanding that at this stage, she had to lie low, become stronger, secretly look for opportunities, and find reliable allies. That was what she, the last Vampire Queen, should do. As they said, adversity made one grow. Dorothy had become quite mature.

But this peaceful time didn’t last long. A rapid knock came from Adele’s dorm door in the afternoon, disrupting their rest. Adele frowned slightly, not knowing who would come looking for her at this time. But First Snow suddenly meowed as if her tail had been stepped on, and then she padded down the stairs.

Adele immediately realized who it was and shrank her neck. Dorothy looked at her curiously, and the girl whispered, “Headmistress Winona!” Saying this, Adele immediately chased after First Snow.

Dorothy’s eyes widened slightly, and she followed Adele.

Downstairs, First Snow had already opened the door and was being pinched on the cheeks by Winona. If you asked why, it was probably jealousy. Winona thought, If I let First Snow stay with Adele for a few more days, she’ll probably forget where she actually lives! And forget about me! This little cat who values beauty over friendship!

“Meow...!”

As the little cat-girl cried out, Adele arrived at the door and asked hesitantly, “Headmistress, what brings you here...?”

This was clearly asking the obvious. Winona, as one of the human high-ups, should have the highest level of access to information about the amusement park incident.

In other words, everything that Bureau Director Yashi witnessed and knew, Winona also learned last night through the emergency meeting. Currently, the humans had more information and were keeping it under wraps. The most crucial information was about Jormungandr’s existence, and of course, Adele gaining the power of a True Ancestor.

The Vampire Clan knew much less. The only confirmed news was bad news: the fall of True Ancestor Ron. However, since True Ancestor Ron broke the peace agreement and almost caused a devastating disaster for humans, the vampire high-ups could only choose to ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) remain silent about his death for now, even though his fall meant a significant loss of high-level combat power for the Vampire Clan. And because of Ron’s death, the humans couldn’t demand compensation from the Vampire Clan.

Winona was tasked at the meeting with guiding and protecting Adele. The reason for this outcome, besides the Hell Queen Jormungandr factor, was firstly because Adele was True Ancestor Ron’s target, and the enemy of an enemy was a friend. Moreover, Adele was a half-blood vampire, with half human blood. Rounding up, she was one of their own. And as one of their own, as a girl whose mind wasn’t fully mature, suddenly gaining extraordinary power, her future achievements were limitless. The only problem was whether she would be misled and stand on the wrong side. So someone who was related to her and knew her to a certain extent was needed to “escort” her. Thus, Winona, as the girl’s Headmistress, became the best candidate.

What else could Winona do? It was the result of a meeting, a decision made for the sake of humanity, not for personal reasons. She couldn’t refuse, only accept. But secretly, she must have regretted becoming the Headmistress of Cromwell Academy many times. This girl Adele was truly a troublemaker!

“You should know why I’m here.” Of course, it was related to yesterday’s amusement park incident. Adele understood this perfectly.

“I won’t say anything unnecessary. In short, as long as you don’t use this power for evil, Adele,”

“Both I and humanity will always stand behind you.”

“Putting you in danger before was our negligence.”

“W-Well, I also let my guard down,” Adele murmured, her eyes flickering. Judging from Headmistress Winona’s words, it seemed like the humans were fully protecting her? As protagonists, she and Dorothy truly had opposite fates. But it wasn’t certain yet that Dorothy was being deceived and set up by all the True Ancestors. Perhaps only True Ancestor Ron was the bad guy, and the other True Ancestors were good people. The reason they didn’t tell Dorothy the truth about the Black Emperor’s fall was because she was too young to bear the consequences. After all, Adele didn’t know about Dorothy’s later experiences in the original story. The perspective was always on the protagonist “Adele,” and Dorothy was more like the final boss she faced after overcoming various obstacles. And by then, Dorothy already possessed the power of a True Ancestor.

First Snow twitched her ears, avoiding Winona’s hand. It hurts! It was just staying at Sister Adele’s dorm for one night. Why does Xiao Wei always bully me...? Actually, First Snow didn’t know that Winona’s current feelings were complicated, like seeing her “daughter” or “sister” living with other girls! It would be strange if Winona could remain calm.

But after missing her grab, Winona didn’t try to pull First Snow’s ears again, but looked at Adele and said, “Let’s talk more on the way.” 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

“On the way?” Adele asked in confusion.

“That’s right, Adele, come with me to the Eastern Capital Enforcement Bureau.”

“Ugh! Am I going to jail!?” Adele had never been to such a place before, so it was natural for her to be nervous. And Winona, wanting to tease her, said, “That’s right, the charge is having an improper relationship with a cat-girl, which constitutes a crime!”
