17. Who is the master and who is the pet between the two of them?
Nolan Turoirdo, with her iconic silver hair and red eyes, and her uniquely petite figure, her identity is beyond doubt—she is a member of the Blood Clan royal family and the current Blood Clan Grand Princess, the only daughter of the present Blood Clan Queen.
At the same time, she is also the “certain shut-in living in the suburbs” mentioned by Evelyn, the only vampire known to Evelyn, and relation-wise, they could be considered close friends.
As for the white-haired girl snuggling with her, she is Nolan’s pet and blood bag, Lina.
To be honest, Evelyn has doubted more than once who is the master and who is the pet between these two.
After all…
“Wow! My master looks so cute when she’s crying out of grievance! Quick! Let me hug her～”
Laura finally managed to calm Nolan down from crying, and on the other side, Lina, without any guilt, pressed in again. With her little hands messily touching Nolan, she even sneakily nudged closer into Nolan’s embrace, causing Nolan’s face, which had just stabilized somewhat, to gradually turn red.
“Hehe, my master smells so good, I love it～”
“Ugh! Lina, stop touching everywhere, it’s so ticklish…”
……
Ladies, could you please pay a little more attention to the occasion while showing affection? There are still single dogs around!
Although she was almost used to it, Evelyn silently complained inwardly.
Also, Nolan, could you be a bit more assertive? After all, you are a Blood Clan princess; it’s a bit embarrassing to be played with and teased by others like this, isn’t it!?
Realistically speaking, if it weren’t for Evelyn but someone else here, seeing such a bullied Nolan would probably have already imagined countless scenarios where she’s superficially weak but actually scheming. There’s no way around it; the Blood Clan royal family is notoriously delicate, and with Nolan being a proper Blood Clan Grand Princess, anyone would think she’s just pretending to be weak for outsiders or has some special preferences.
But Evelyn knows very well that her close friend is as pure as those elf pointy-eared folks; she really doesn’t have any special preferences—she is truly incapable of being assertive at all!
Basically, she is destined to be a weak recipient in this lifetime.
Thinking about this, Evelyn couldn’t help but look sympathetically at Nolan, who was blushing from being teased by Lina.
Nolan, look, being single is still better, right? What’s so good about finding a girlfriend? Being teased all day long? I, Evelyn, will definitely not find a girlfriend!!!
At this moment, Evelyn wouldn’t know that in just a week or two, she would be proven wrong by her future self, but that’s a story for later.
Of course, some friends will want to ask, if girls are not good, then can boys be an option?
Laughing to death, boys do differ from girls. If a girl confessed to Evelyn, she would at most politely refuse and give a good person card; as for boys… well, let’s talk to a shotgun instead.
“Ahem, I say, you two, have you gotten enough of being lovey-dovey? I came here for a serious matter.”
Seeing that Lina showed no intention of stopping, and also to help her close friend out of the predicament (at this moment, Nolan was looking at Evelyn with a desperate “help me” gaze), Evelyn coughed twice to indicate that they should wrap it up.
“Tsk…”
Although Lina clearly showed some reluctance, Evelyn was a guest after all, and flaunting affection in front of a single dog guest was somewhat inconsiderate, so even though she felt a thousand unhappy thoughts, she still reluctantly sat up from Nolan’s embrace.
“Fine, we can always continue this at night.”
Meanwhile, Nolan, who had no idea what awaited her tonight, nodded gratefully at Evelyn. To prevent being attacked by her pet again, she cleverly shifted slightly to the side, allowing the maid to sit between her and Lina.
Lina: Heartbroken.
……
After that, Evelyn shared her experiences and findings from visiting Uncle Wei earlier that day with her close friend, but she temporarily kept information about Angel Miss to herself.
After all, it wasn’t exactly a glorious matter, so there was no need to broadcast it.
Nolan, upon hearing this, appeared markedly more serious. With her brows slightly furrowed, she seemed to be pondering something, her crimson eyes filled with earnestness. At this moment, Nolan finally bore some semblance of a Blood Clan Grand Princess.
After pondering for a long while, Nolan exhaled and helplessly shook her head at Evelyn.
“I have no recollection. It’s strange; all the citizens in this city are under our control, whether they are poor or rich, commoners or nobles, thugs or exiles, every move of all Blood Clan members is under our surveillance. Not to mention committing a crime, even a Blood Clan member just passing through that district hasn’t been seen in a week.”
Upon hearing this, Evelyn’s expression darkened. Although her close friend is somewhat soft, she is quite reliable when handling serious matters. If she says there’s nothing, it’s likely that there really is nothing.
However, this makes things even more puzzling. Uncle Wei’s state is undoubtedly that he has been turned into a blood slave, but one has to ask, aside from the Blood Clan, what other race can turn humans into blood slaves?
Strange, indeed strange.
“However, about a month ago, a civilian Blood Clan member named Carl suddenly went missing. Because he was just a civilian, we didn’t pay much attention. I originally thought he must have left Worry-Free City, thus leaving our surveillance, but now it seems that among all the Blood Clan in Worry-Free City, only this Blood Clan member named Carl could have had some potential for wrongdoing.”
Nolan contemplated for a bit longer and provided Evelyn with a piece of information that was somewhat useful. After Evelyn thanked Nolan for her help, she hurriedly left Nolan’s residence and quickly flew towards the city center.
On the way, Evelyn didn’t forget to pull out her mobile phone to check the time. Since she had spent too long at Nolan’s place, she had completely forgotten that she still had classes in the afternoon. At this time, the first class must have already ended! Thankfully, her status is special, so her old class teacher probably wouldn’t scold her too much.
She originally planned to finish up quickly and exchange information with a certain Angel afterward, but alas, her terrible sense of time… has never been good since humans used it!
