Chapter 16 [ Grand Families Information ]

The light night breeze that hit her face had a coolness that was different from what Naeva was used to. She hadn't been inside the Tower long, but everything there so far was very different from the Earth she knew. The various races from different worlds, the various sights that were sometimes foreign but also familiar made her want to explore the Tower a little longer.

After all, in the end, she just wanted to die without leaving any regrets. When it was time was a matter of freedom for Naeva. After all, whether she hurriedly climbed or climbed leisurely, it would take the same amount of time. Because of the floor exam that only took place every half year.

The cool silver-haired girl glanced at the only source of sound from behind the rocks. Another girl was cleaning herself with the clear lake water. Her unclothed body showed several scars that were quite painful (not Naeva's heart).

".... I know the Calliope Family is harsh even on its own offspring. But this one is not a sign of discipline," Naeva thought as she pictured her student.

Naeva turned to glance at the moon above her.
"It seems like 10,000 years is enough time to change so many things. I wonder what happened to the others as well."

"Ophelia," Naeva called.

Ophelia turned her head slowly towards Naeva, "?"

"What happened to the 7 Grand Families recently?" the girl asked.

Ophelia Calliope did not answer immediately. She just stayed silent for a moment with her hands still washing her hair. It wasn't that she didn't want to or couldn't answer. Ophelia was just wondering where to begin.

"Hmm..."

"Let's see... let's start with the Terpsichore Family since you've already heard my family story."

The navy-haired girl drew something with her hand and it floated in the sky.
"As you know, the Terpsichore Family are High Elves. They led the other Elves on the 22nd floor after their previous territory was destroyed. Because their age is one of the longest in the Tower, it is easy to remember who is conspicuous among them."

"There is currently no other major news other than their territory moving about 400 years ago, so the information you have should not have changed much."

"Hmm, okay. Continue," Naeva pleaded.

Ophelia explained at the same time as she washed herself with instant soap and shampoo.
"There was a stir in the Melpomene Family because it was recently discovered that the eldest daughter of the previous Head of the Melpomene Family secretly had a daughter when she was still a girl."

"I don't know who her husband was, but the angry previous Head of the family gave the woman a very severe punishment and put a wanted poster on the woman's daughter."

Naeva, "When did that woman have a child?"

"About... 500 years ago?" replied Ophelia guessing.

"Isn't that so long ago? Why are they only finding out now?" Naeva wondered in disbelief.

"How did the previous head of the family find that woman's child?"

Ophelia could not understand this family either, "It is not as difficult as it seems. Pureblood vampires can recognize other purebloods."

"As long as the woman's husband is an ordinary person (not a member of a grand families), the child will definitely be born with pure blood that other pure bloods can recognize."

#notes
Pureblood vampires can keep their offspring as purebloods as long as their partners do not have the same strong dominant genes as High Elves, Dragons, etc. In this way, they can maintain purebloods when their birth rate is low.
