The Vampire Eldest Miss Thinks I Like Her 22

Chapter 22: Escape from School

Of course, there was no need to worry about Adele. She was a noble lady, the eldest daughter of the thirteen clans’ Blake family, the future heir of the Blake family, and a definite big shot. She was someone the school administration absolutely couldn’t afford to offend.

Let alone killing a doctor who had attempted to attack her, even if she had killed all the teachers in the entire school, the Council of Elders wouldn’t blame her. They might even applaud her and say, “As expected of a member of the thirteen clans, truly talented and exceptional.”

The vampire world was that cruel. They always revered the strong.

The reason why the school administration was making such a fuss about the investigation was to prevent teachers from harming each other within the school. The students were the future stars of the vampire race, among them the heirs of the thirteen clans and the treasured offspring of nobles. Even in the strength-oriented vampire world, they placed great importance on nurturing the next generation. Neither the parents nor the Council of Elders could accept teachers daring to harm their own kind within the school.

If he dared to attack his colleague today, he might harm the future blossoms tomorrow!

Therefore, the school administration was extremely nervous, meticulously investigating every lead.

Eventually, they would trace it back to Adele and confirm that the doctor’s death was related to her. Based on what was mentioned earlier, Adele wouldn’t be in trouble. But what about the maids who were present at the scene?

The conflict between the doctor and Adele was insignificant to the school administration. Similarly, the conflict between the maids and the doctor was even less significant in the eyes of the vampires in the administration. If they knew that there were three human maids present, what would be their fate? Punishment, death, it was almost a certainty.

The vampires might even reprimand them, “Why didn’t you offer your blood to the doctor? If you had let him drink your blood, he wouldn’t have died, and we wouldn’t have lost an excellent school doctor.” Although it sounded absurd, that would be the reality.

The vampires didn’t care about human lives at all.

Instead, they would punish humans for disregarding the doctor’s potential chance of survival.

The sky began to lighten with the break of dawn. Daytime was approaching, and the vampires would gradually fall asleep. When the next moon rose, they might barge into the school and take Jasmine, Anna, and the maid away together.

Jasmine cleared her mind and changed her clothes before heading to Anna’s room. She didn’t use the main entrance but appeared on the balcony instead. The sunlight was behind her, casting her shadow onto the ground, stretching it long and thin. Her arrival was silent, and it took a while for Anna and the maid to notice her.

Upon discovering the mysterious figure, Anna immediately assumed a defensive posture, holding a paper knife in her hand and pointing the tip towards Jasmine. Anyone who saw a person with a veiled face, looking rather eerie, would likely react the same way.

The paper knife was one of the few sharp weapons she could obtain as a maid. She was just a maid, and not one who worked in the kitchen. The only sharp objects she could access were paper knives and table knives. Compared to the blunt table knives, the paper knife was sharper.

Jasmine didn’t care if she was scared or nervous. She pushed open the balcony door and walked straight into the room. Seeing her approaching, the maid huddled closer to Anna, looking terrified. But after a moment, she still grabbed Anna and shielded her behind her back.

—Could a person who was once resigned to death and now seeking to live become so brave?

Doubt flashed through Jasmine’s mind. She took a step forward, and Anna suddenly noticed something unusual. She pulled the maid back, “She’s not a vampire. Look at her eyes, they’re black!” The woman with black hair and black eyes reminded Anna and the maid of Jasmine, but this person looked quite different from Jasmine.

Firstly, Jasmine had short hair, while the woman in front of them had long hair and seemed taller and more mature than Jasmine.

If Jasmine knew what Anna was thinking, she would probably say, “When you’re out and about, you have to disguise yourself, otherwise you’ll be easily discovered.”

Not just her physique, Jasmine had even altered her voice, “Your observation skills are quite good. Indeed, I’m not a vampire, but a human.”

Anna instinctively wanted to retort. Could a human silently enter her room, appearing like a ghost? But then she remembered Jasmine, who was also so powerful that she could even kill a vampire.

While she was still hesitant, the woman in front of her continued, “Jasmine has already told me about your situation. You might have heard of the ‘Human Resistance Army.’ I am the leader of that group. You’re in danger here at school. If you’re willing, I will take you to a safe place.”

“Human Resistance Army?” The maid murmured the name softly, her eyes shining even brighter. Just from the name, she could tell what kind of group it was. A group formed by humans—a group that dared to resist this hopeless world.

The maid didn’t hesitate, “I’ll go! I want to go!”

But Anna hesitated. She thought more than the maid, “What about the other human maids in this school if I leave? I’ve been suppressing the vampire maids under the doctor’s name, but now that the doctor is dead and I, the human who has been above them, am gone, they will only vent their anger on the other human maids!”

Anna’s words impressed Jasmine. Although she had known that Anna had done a lot for the human maids, even willing to become the doctor’s pawn, she hadn’t expected her to think so deeply. As she said, she had been using various excuses to resist the vampire maids and protect the humans, which inadvertently attracted their hatred.

She had probably already decided that after Jasmine was framed by the doctor and incurred the wrath of the Blake family’s young miss, she would bear the brunt of the vampire maids’ hatred, allowing them to target her and protect the other human maids.

Anna was weak, but she was also strong, using what she could do to protect other, even weaker humans.

Thinking of this, Jasmine’s gaze softened. She said, “Haven’t you thought about it? Even if you stay here, you won’t be able to help. And you will die.” Anna had already done a lot, but due to her limited status and perspective, she hadn’t considered more possibilities.

Jasmine shared her previous analysis with Anna. Anna’s face paled, and her first thought was of Jasmine, “Then if we all leave, what about Jasmine?”

Jasmine, who was being cared for by Anna, replied directly, “Don’t worry, Jasmine is very strong.”

The best solution would be for the three of them to leave together. That way, none of them would be implicated by the school administration and face death. Jasmine would also save herself a lot of trouble, not having to worry about how to deal with the administration. But if they left like this, what about Adele? She knew that Adele wouldn’t be in trouble, but she also knew that if she left, Adele would definitely be lonely.

Moreover, without her and Anna, the two who attracted hatred, the other human maids would suffer greatly.

However, humans also needed to grow. No matter what, Anna would eventually leave. No one would continue to protect the other human maids in front of them. They could only do one thing: stand up and protect themselves. If they spent their entire lives hiding under someone else’s wings, praying for someone to protect them, silently enduring the bullying of the vampires, then they would be no different from caged animals.

Jasmine was a cold person. She would only protect humans within her sight, helping those whose flames of awakening had already ignited. The rest had nothing to do with her. There were so many people in this world. Jasmine wasn’t a savior or omnipotent. She couldn’t save everyone.

Hearing Jasmine’s words, Anna thought of Jasmine’s strength and felt relieved.

After a brief exchange, Jasmine tied them together with black threads and, like carrying chicks, took them out of the school. Jasmine was very fast. For Anna and the maid, it felt like riding a roller coaster, making them want to vomit everything they had eaten the day before.

She quickly brought them to a farm at the foot of the school mountain and knocked on the door of Yuan Hang, a member of the outpost. It was daytime, and all the humans and vampires on the farm were asleep. Yuan Hang was very alert when he heard the knocking, and only after seeing Jasmine’s figure through the crack in the door did he excitedly open it.

Jasmine brought Anna and the maid inside, untied the black threads from them, and explained the situation to Yuan Hang.

“That’s how it is. These are two of our compatriots rescued from the school. I hope they can be transferred to a safe place as soon as possible. If they’re willing, they can join the Resistance Army. If they just want to live ordinary lives, please make proper arrangements for them.”

Yuan Hang nodded, “Yes, Lady Dawn, I’ll do as you say.”

After making the arrangements, Jasmine nodded and left Yuan Hang’s cabin. She had to return to the school, back to Adele’s side. Even though she had just told Anna that she was staying for the sake of the other human maids, in reality, the one she truly cared about was Adele.

If she wasn’t there, Adele would definitely be lonely. Adele had always been afraid of loneliness, unlike other vampires who preferred to stay in cold and dark corners. She liked to be in warm places, near firelight, and by Jasmine’s side.

If Jasmine wasn’t there, she would yell “Jasmine, Jasmine” at the top of her lungs. If Jasmine abandoned everything and left with the other two, heading towards the human settlements, who would answer the Blake family’s young miss?

Jasmine stopped in her tracks, landing on the top of the school’s spire. The spire beneath her feet was rather uncomfortable, like a small stone stuck under her foot.

The wind was strong at this height, and the howling wind lifted Jasmine’s veil. She reluctantly made excuses for herself: she wasn’t leaving because of the commission Adele paid her. If she went to the human side, no one would pay her wages anymore.
