After entering the palace, Azure (the Shapeshifter), Haiyan, and Candace took the collected items to the imperial kitchen.

After the kitchen staff received the items, the three of them returned to their respective posts.

Azure and Haiyan had relatively easy jobs, usually just cleaning the main hall or taking over the maid's duties, like brewing tea, when she was absent.

Once they returned to the lounge, they started teasing each other and often played around together.

Azure enjoyed playing with Haiyan and found her very adorable.

"Hahaha... Azure, you lost again," Haiyan laughed and reached for Azure's chest.

Azure slapped away Haiyan's hand and said angrily, "Haiyan, if you keep messing around, I'll get mad."

"Okay, I'll go peel an apple for you."

After saying that, Haiyan left.

Azure sat on the chair, and her gentle eyes became somewhat mischievous. "What a troublesome person."

In four days, the demon guard would change their question. By then, if they went out with the maid and the others to buy groceries, their identities would surely be exposed.

The Shapeshifter needed to check if there was any news about oblivion in the palace within the four-day time frame. If not, they would head to the Elven Empire to search.

Afterward, the Shapeshifter swept the palace with a broom, gathering information on the side.

Haiyan returned to the lounge with a plate of peeled apples and noticed Azure wasn't there.

"Azure isn't here, so I'll eat by myself."

Haiyan lay on the bed, eating the apple while reading a romance novel.

...

At this moment, the Shapeshifter saw the pure white demon Yar chatting with a silver-haired girl in the garden, both laughing and enjoying themselves.

Just as the silver-haired girl covered her mouth and giggled, the Shapeshifter noticed the back of her hand had patterns of angel and demon wings.

This meant that the silver-haired girl possessed the Demon-slaying Sword and Divine-slaying Blade. She was the leader of the Vanquishers - oblivion.

Ling sensed the presence of the Vanquishers and looked at Azure who was sweeping the floor.

The two exchanged a glance, and they could understand each other's message in their eyes.

"Ling, what are you looking at?" Yar looked at Ling with confusion.

"Nothing." Ling shook her head. "Yar, let's start studying today's lessons!"

"Alright." Yar nodded and led her to the study.

The Shapeshifter thought to themselves: Finally found oblivion. It was not in vain that they had been eating vampire food for a month.

oblivion was lurking in the Demon Emperor's palace and seemed to have a plan already in mind.

This young oblivion had such courage, which the Shapeshifter admired the most.

Wait, the Shapeshifter suddenly realized: vampires of the royal family all had silver hair. oblivion should be part of the vampire royal family! The pure white demon treated her so well, most likely due to her connection with the Demon Emperor.

What lurking? It was simply because she was a member of the vampire royal family.

The Shapeshifter slapped their forehead, cursing themselves for being foolish.

They needed to confirm it because it involved the future fate of the two continents, and there was no room for negligence.

"I hope this oblivion is someone who can bear the responsibility of the Vanquishers. If not, I will have to take their place," the Shapeshifter thought to themselves.

This is the first duty bestowed upon the Changeling by Oblivion, and he must do his utmost to fulfill it.

...

As the night grew late, a gentle breeze blew across the face, bringing a refreshing coolness, making one feel incredibly comfortable.

Within the palace, the Changeling hid in the darkness, unnoticed by the occasional patrol of demonic guards.

"Where is Oblivion's chamber?" the Changeling pondered.

At the same time, Ling lay awake, waiting for the arrival of the Vanquisher.

Having lived in the palace for a long time, Ling was familiar with all the buildings within and knew where her own chamber was located.

"I am so tired!" Ling yawned.

"Ling probably won't come to find me tonight."

With that, Ling closed her eyes slowly. As her breathing became steadier, she gradually sank into a sweet slumber.

The Changeling maneuvered through the palace like a thief, looking through each window.

Eventually, he arrived at a courtyard within the palace.

In the illumination of the lights, the courtyard appeared exceptionally tranquil and serene. Rows of rose bushes and other blooming flowers stretched towards the sky, emanating a strong and fragrant aroma. Their petals swayed with the night breeze, like numerous sprites dancing.

"This place looks peaceful and elegant. It must be the sleeping quarters of the vampire royal family," the Changeling observed the arrangements within the courtyard, then approached a stone sculpture.

The sculpture depicted a bat with its wings outstretched, as if in flight.

The Changeling cautiously entered the courtyard, walking with light steps into a room.

Lilia heard a sound and slowly climbed out of bed, surveying her surroundings with vigilance but seeing nothing out of the ordinary.

Lilia rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the moon outside the window, muttering, "Did I mishear just now? No, that's not right!"

Lilia lay back down, paying no further attention to the situation outside the window.

The Changeling pushed open the door and quickly entered the room, arriving at Lilia's sleeping chamber.

At that moment, Lilia saw the shadow and was about to scream, but the Changeling covered her mouth.

"It's me, Your Majesty!" the Changeling spoke.

Once Lilia recognized the figure, she stopped yelling and the Changeling released his hand.

"Vex, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and coming to my chambers?" Lilia's expression showed some annoyance. She had just fallen asleep and was interrupted.

The Changeling looked puzzled, thinking to himself: "Is this current Oblivion mentally impaired? Earlier in the morning, you gave 'that' look, and now you don't recognize anyone?"

"Your Majesty! This is the abode of the ev..." Before the Changeling could finish speaking, Lilia interrupted, "I am not Your Majesty. Iri is the Majesty of the Shuowang Empire. If you address me like this, it will cause misunderstandings."

The Changeling took a sharp breath, wondering how this idiot obtained the inheritance of Oblivion. And to call her Iri! That guy is the Demon Emperor. Hasn't this current Oblivion figured it out?

The Changeling asked again, "What is your attitude towards the Demon Emperor?"

"Who is the Demon Emperor?" Lilia was confused, but in her heart, she wondered if Vex had gone crazy. How could he ask such nonsensical questions?

"This current Oblivion is definitely an idiot! The characteristics of the Demon Emperor are so obvious, and she still can't see it," the Changeling derided in his heart.

"The Demon Emperor is Iri. What is your attitude towards Iri?" the Changeling followed Lilia's line of thought and asked.

"Of course, it's obvious that I love her and spoil her," Lilia replied without hesitation, her tone carrying a faint sense of happiness.

Then Lilia's face turned somewhat angry. "Iri is not a name you can call! Only I can use that name!"

"Go to hell, idiot!" The Shapeshifter threw a punch directly at her.

Lilia was completely unprepared for the Shapeshifter's sneak attack and took a solid hit. Her nasal bone instantly fractured, and she fell to the ground.

"Additional! Detach!"

Suddenly, the Shapeshifter muttered an incantation, and three rings of light appeared around their body.

These three rings of light turned into black holes-like entities and began absorbing Lilia's power.

Lilia struggled for a moment but couldn't move an inch.
