Vampire Princess Guide in Progress - Volume 1 Chapter 61

Chapter 61: The Little Witch Lady

***

On the snowy plain, the rising broken walls and ruins resemble pale ribs.

A broken temple ruin standing on a snow peak, a small ruin complex formed by square buildings built with white walls. Following the damaged steps covered by snow and wind upward, there was a Roman-style white temple with many pillars standing.

And at the arched top of the temple, the silhouette of a young girl was sitting with her legs crossed, quite leisurely, overlooking the entire snowy plain.

Her hair, smooth like silk, floated gently in the wind. A pair of beautiful eyes with four-pointed star magic pupils occasionally blinked lightly, watching something with interest. The falling snow melted and disappeared before touching her exposed snow-white shoulders.

Her chest, wrapped in a semi-transparent thin black veil, presented an extremely full and round outline. The fabric on her chest was stretched tight, giving a feeling of imminent emergence, as if it might be torn open at any moment.

Even those enviable beautiful legs of the young girl were quite uniquely clad in uneven black stockings, with both calves swinging gently in the air.

“Tilia Scarlet, the beautiful little princess of the Eternal Night Empire…”

The girl softly murmured this name, and on her face, beautiful enough to make one dizzy, appeared a sly and playful smile.

The Little Witch was looking at the light blue screen before her.

The scene currently being displayed was from a far distance from here, at the Ice Cave Camp, where she witnessed firsthand how Tilia resolutely took revenge on that group of red name players.

On the screen, Tilia’s cool demeanor as she stood up for her friends deeply imprinted in the Little Witch’s pupils.

“My, my~ This little princess is really quite dashing.”

The Little Witch chuckled, then put on a pitiful expectant expression, “If only a weak girl like me could also have such a beautiful and gallant girl to protect me. I might fall in love with her~”

“Wh-what, Lady Witch… Are you joking? Do you really need someone else to protect you?”

Hearing this seemingly outrageous statement, a small chubby bird flying next to the Little Witch was greatly shocked.

As the witch’s servant, it was covered entirely in black feathers, with a particularly refined high-quality black feather tuft on its head. Its shape was almost a perfect sphere, with slender double claws and feathers in extremely disproportionate ratios to its body.

Calling it a chubby bird was not an exaggeration at all.

And just recently, the guardian BOSS of this area, the 「Winter Ice Wolf King」, was annihilated by a mere flick of its master’s finger, with all flesh instantly consumed by a black hole, leaving only a skeleton in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, hearing such shocking words from its master, the chubby bird couldn’t help but make a sarcastic comment, but immediately its body was grabbed by a slender jade hand. In a moment of panic and fluttering, several feathers drifted down in the air.

“Hmm? What did you say? You dead fat bird, are you saying I’m not a weak girl who deserves protection?”

“No, no! I was wrong, Lady Witch! You are certainly…!” Being held by the merciless iron hand, the chubby bird felt the increasingly powerful restraint and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly correcting itself.

“I mean, a witch as proud, elegant, and peerless in beauty as you, no one is qualified to claim they can protect you! Whoever it is, they would ultimately bow before your skirt hem, protecting you like stars surrounding the moon. My wise and powerful master, please show mercy…”

“Hehe, what boring flattery~”

The Little Witch examined the chubby bird she was pinching with her four-pointed star pupils, smiled seductively, and then released her hand.

The black chubby bird, regaining its freedom, couldn’t help but sigh in relief, recalling its experiences of being electrocuted into charcoal by the Lady Witch’s lightning magic, roasted into a squab by fire magic, and used as a footrest under her shoe, and couldn’t help but exhale coldly.

“So, what do you think of this vampire princess?”

“Hmm? Vampire Princess?” The chubby bird fluttered its wings and moved closer to the screen, examining it with uneven eyes, and said: “She is indeed a girl with a delicate figure, but she doesn’t seem very strong. To talk about protecting you would probably be a fantasy.”

“Is that so?” The Little Witch gently supported her chin with the back of her hand, smiling softly.

That’s indeed the case. Defeating just a few humans as insignificant as dust could not be considered much. But from her bloodline, one could see quite astonishing growth potential, which couldn’t help but interest her, worth observing further.

“Wait, wait, Lady Witch, are you… interested in her?”

“Guess?” The Little Witch’s lips curled slightly, her loving gaze seemingly implying something, “I’m feeling a bit lonely, wondering if perhaps I should find myself a dancing partner.”

“What——!” The chubby bird emitted an extremely shocked sound, “But, your relationship with the Eternal Night Empire has never been good, this this this…”

“Oh, isn’t that what makes it interesting?”

The Little Witch playfully brought her finger close to her lips, making a gesture of silence, her lips curving upward, “When the Eternal Night Empire welcomes their little princess, they discover she and I are already in that kind of relationship. Hehe, what will happen then?”

“War! This means war!” The chubby bird panicked and flew around its master.

“Even disregarding the conflict between the imperial forces and the tribes, just the princess’s personal entourage, those maids of the royal princess would certainly fight you tooth and nail! Is this really your intention? Oh my god—!”

Well, I’m just joking, hehe.

The Little Witch shrugged, slapping the bird that was flying around frantically and making her annoyed to the ground. Although she said that, it would be too boring if she came all this way just for this.

After watching the screen where Tilia hugged Cross, met with other players in the snow and wind, and then rode the sleigh together towards the Ice Snow City, the Little Witch gently waved her hand, closing the screen.

“It’s time to deactivate my aimlessly wandering puppet.”

The Little Witch slowly raised her hand, condensing an unstable black orb in her palm, which was immediately released, transforming into an extremely complex design drawing like astronomical equipment, setting a route trajectory.

After everything was designed, she raised her delicate white hand and slapped it hard, instantly injecting vast sea-like magical power into the entire design.

— In the far-distant snow plains.

The Ice Crystal Colossus Golem lying in the snow and wind suddenly received some kind of command, its eyes becoming extremely red and bright.

“Boom boom boom——”

As the heavy body gradually stood up, snow blocks fell down like waterfalls from that enormous body. The colossus stood straddling its feet on the earth, and with a rumbling sound, slowly turned around.

“Consider it my last gift.”

“Now, what will you do, little princess~” The Little Witch’s crystalline lips curved into a smile, “Fat Bird, it’s time for us to go. The Star Lord must be very displeased with my unauthorized interference in this floor’s area, we can’t stay any longer~”

“Yes, yes! Lady Witch!”

The black bird hurriedly fluttered its wings, quickly landing on the Little Witch’s shoulder.

A burst of black hole appeared, and the figures of the person and bird instantly disappeared into the air.
