Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start Chapter 442 The Conspiracy Behind Erika's Past

-----

After Erika received her gift, I was left thinking about many things, and slowly connected the dots together.

Ellergest knew about Erika being a doll, and also that there was so sort of possibility of her becoming sothing like a human.

He also knew about Eric's family and his treasure, the staff made from the branches of Yggdrasil, the Spirit Tree.

And he left Erika with a Dryad Spirit Orb, an incredibly compatible material for alchemy with Erika…

There must be sothing else I am missing though, I am sure he left sothing sowhere, connecting all the dots together completely, and leaving the clue I need…

And that clue might be in the very box of Erika.

So, after everything was done, I decided to bring my friends to Erika's house to discuss what I had in mind. Elizabeth and Erdrich insisted on coming, although they didn't knew of Erika's secret.

Ultimately, I ended accepting them to join. I rembered that Ellergest asked to trust people more, especially those closer to . I entrusted Elizabeth and Erdrich, and we told them the truth about Erika's past, from what I learned myself and everything else.

"So that's… why there are so many weird rumors around?" Elizabeth asked.

"Erika… you're like !" Erdrich said.

"Eh?" Erika felt slightly surprised how easy they got it. None of the two seed bothered by Erika's situation.

"We were not going to get mad at you or sothing." Said Elizabeth. "We are friends, right?"

"Yeah! You kind of remind of myself, you're also a non-human, but also human…" Erdrich said.

"I an if we accepted Erdrich it wouldn't be hard to accept you." Said Elizabeth.

"R-Right…" Erika was still rather shocked. "Thank you for being so comprehensive."

"So, let explain my conjecture." I said.

I quickly explained to everyone present what I had in mind.

"So it all connects together?" Asked Eric. "My family's past with Erika?!"

"Not completely, but there seems to be dots that are connected together by Ellergest's doing, it feels as if he saw these things and tried to make them co together with his last gift." I said.

"The Dryad's Spirit Orb…" Erika said, touching the jewel.

"But there's a lot of info missing though…" Said Erdrich.

"Yeah, that's why… Erika, can you let handle that box?" I asked.

"Huh? Sure." Erika gave the small wooden box, as I looked at it around.

"Hmm, ah, this…"

I quickly used my raw natural strength to break open the box.

CRASH!

"Uwaaah! My box!" Erika cried.

However, she suddenly realized sothing flew out of it, a paper wrapped looking like a scroll, a small bottle with red liquid inside.

I caught them both swiftly without letting them fall into the ground.

"Here…" I said, putting the small bottle, not bigger than my thumb, over the table. The red liquid inside looked like blood, but it had a distinctive golden glow.

-----

[Dryad's Blood (Mythic Grade)]

A small droplet of blood from a Dryad. Spirits that are like Dryads are the border between human-like races such as elves and the embodint of nature itself, all while being trees and spirits at the sa ti. Their very blood is said to be able to create incredible elixirs, and a single drop of blood might be able to create enough Elixir to heal thousands.

However, with the right ingredients, sothing else can be created…

-----

And taking a look again at the jewel, both have so weird, implied ssage too.

-----

[Broken Dryad's Spirit Orb (Mythic Grade)]

Dryads are Spirits of the Forest, special entities that inhabit large forests, protecting nature with their magic and power. They are said to be trees themselves, who take upon Spirit Form when they grow old enough to develop a Spirit Orb. Once they fall in love with soone, they are able to forbid their Spirit Orbs to the one they love, to accompany them anywhere they go.

This Spirit Orb, however, is broken, losing its Spiritual Soul in the process. However, it still holds a remnant within, which might be used for high level alchemy, if the right materials are used, incredible things could happen.

-----

These materials also had amazing quantities of spiritual energy.

"This is Dryad's Blood!" I said in surprise. "And this small scroll…!"

I quickly opened it, reading its content as everyone looked at with intrigue.

"I leave this secret scroll to the one that finds it first. However, this is a gift ant for my old friend, Gustav."

"Gustav…?" Asked Eric.

"Wait, isn't that…?" Chris wondered.

"My dad?!" Erika asked in surprise.

"I've wandered across the world my whole life, I've et many people, and made many companions, but Gustav, you were a good friend of mine. I am sorry for what has happened to you, and even when we have stopped talking due to being busy with our lives, or perhaps because you don't want to bother anymore, I've never stopped thinking about you and… what has happened to your family." I read, as everyone seed tense.

"The incident that happened so many years ago involving the death of your daughter right after you were thrown out from the Kingdom's capital with your wife, and having your Noble Status revoked… I've researched enough to tell you the truth about this incident…"

"It was all orchestrated."

As I said such words, Erika seed to grow more restless.

I kept reading, too intrigued to stop.

"This was all orchestrated to take away the possibility of your daughter to beco the new Princess of the Kingdom, as the first daughter of the children of the King, she had the advantage over all future children, and could have beco even the Queen, if she was taught well. To take her away from their priority, so of the corrupt mbers of this Kingdom decided to destroy her family and completely shatter any hope of her growing up, at all… And of course, they did it with the help of the Cultists."
