Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 765 Greeting The Guests

The day of the Grand Banquet was finally here.

The entirety of the Vampire Society was bustling with joyous activities.

It didnʼt matter if it was Winterbat country or Darkwing country or some Nightingale, everyone was happy and singing songs of praise and love to the Royal Family.

This wasnʼt planned or scripted, they were the real feelings of the Vampires of this society.

They were all happy and enjoying themselves in the festive-type atmosphere happening within the continent.

Free food and wine was available to everybody every hundred metres in all places of the continent occupied by the Vampires.

Even the most forgotten villages got access to great food and wine. There was no one who would be going hungry today.

The cost to feed around ten billion people at once, that too as much as they wanted, was surely very high. 

However, it didnʼt matter to the Royal Family. Their pockets were so deep that there was not even a tiny hole for making such arrangements.

The Vampires would surely not forget such a day and only now were they understanding the essence of ʼGrand Banquetʼ. They all wished such banquets would happen often in the future.

All squares in the continent had big screens showing the live stream of the Grand Banquet.

Currently, the guests were making their appearances in the Queenʼs District one by one and then picked up by the Royal Carriages and escorted to the Royal Castle.

Everyone watched these guys with envious gazes and wished that it was them in these peopleʼs place.

The live stream would have camera angles switched whenever someone important would arrive.

For example, currently, the camera was focusing on four people in elegant clothes. One was a noble, two were men, and the last one was a muscular cow. 

They were none other than the Dracula family and with the poised bearing that Dennis and Mu Mu were showing, it was apparent that they were taught some manners beforehand.

Dennis didnʼt seem his usual self and neither did Mu Mu. Both the two had a calm look on their faces and were walking with the same strides as Duke Reynolds and Duchess Fiora.

After Dennisʼs family, the other Dukes entered the castle one by one and it was only after the Vampires did the other races enter.

Nobles from around all the major races were present and it was rumored that some Supreme beings would be in the banquet too.

However, no matter how much everyone focused, they couldnʼt see any Supreme Ranks. This did disappoint them as they realized that just like other times, the Supreme Ranks wouldʼve entered through some secret door.

Peasants like them didnʼt deserve to see their real faces, was what went inside everyoneʼs mind.

Nobody doubted that the Supremes wonʼt come though; such was the might of the Queen.

Back in the Royal Castle, Lith was standing in front of a teleportation circle and was waiting for the guests.

A bright light illuminated the room and then the fragrant scent of a forest permeated the air. 

Two ladies in regal robes, both with long golden hair and emerald-like eyes, were standing in front of him.

”Little cousin!” Alea was happy as she could be and jumped on Lith, making the snow-white furred golden retriever on his shoulders to fall down.

Ren was clearly not happy with this and woofed in annoyance. But once he saw that it was the golden-haired demon, he immediately had war flashbacks and hid himself in between Lithʼs legs.

No matter what, every time he saw Alea, his trauma would re-appear.

Lith exchanged some loving words with Alea and then turned to Agalea. 

He hugged the Elven Queen and smiling, whispered, ”told you, youʼll be the one to come to me.”

”Fufufu… yes, it did happen, it seems.” Agalea answered with a playful smile.

Lith didnʼt say or do anything naughty with Agalea. He broke the hug and simply chatted with her a little, then sent the two off.

There were a lot of guests he had to greet.

A bright flash happened again in the room as the teleportation circle lit up. 

In the next instant, he saw four people, among whom one was his lover.

The tall black-haired, black-eyed beautiful lady with red horns whom Lith loved, was currently holding hands with a smiling and a zoned out girl with glasses.

There was Adriel beside Lucifer holding the hand of a girl with an annoyed expression, who was also holding the hand of the smiling girl, albeit against her wishes.

”It was my turn to hold momʼs hand.” The annoyed girl with black hair and orange eyes complained.

”It was fair and square, so let me peacefully hold mamaʼs hand.” The smiling girl, with shoulder-length orange hair and black eyes, said to the annoyed girl.

”Hehe… mumma… hehe…” the zoned out girl with glasses over her gray eyes, having black hair on top and orange hair neck down till her thighs, spoke to the air in front, still zoned out and in a world of her own.

As Ren had a look at these three girls, he immediately hid himself inside Lithʼs shirt, not wanting to meet them.

There were only three people other than Alea who could instigate such a reaction from him, and they were none other than his mothers.

”Hey! Ren-chan, come to mommy!” The orange-haired Rosy said with a smile as she walked towards Lith with Lucifer.

”Rosy, manners.” Lucifer reprimanded.

Rosy did a light cough in response and said, ”sorry.” She didnʼt call out Ren again.

Lith was surprised to see Lucifer teaching other people manners. He didnʼt call her out on it though, lest she turned angry and did something forceful that he might end up liking.

Cough. Lith did a light cough as well to remove the weird thoughts in his head.

”Greetings, aunt.” Lith said with a smile while holding a flower bouquet.

He had forgotten to give one to Alea and Agalea as Alea jumped on him. 

His maids standing beside him had reminded him to not miss it this time.

Luciferʼs hands were full and her expression was calm, befitting that of a Queen. 

She was in a regal black robe along with her daughters in a similar style and color robes. 

Adriel, the one with short green hair with blue ends and amazing tattoos on one of her hands, was wearing a formal white shirt and black pants, appearing like an assistant. 

Lith wondered why Lucifer was so calm. She didnʼt look like the usual horny otaku neet and instead appeared prim and proper.

As she got close to him, Lucifer said with the same calm look, ”greetings, nephew.”

Lith raised an eyebrow in surprise. This woman was his aunt? Or was it an imposter?

Lithʼs confused expression didnʼt go unnoticed by Lucifer. She internally thought, ʼthatʼs right, you little demon. Your majestic aunt has changed, and is now acting like a proper Queen. She has to set an example to her daughters after all…ʼ

Lucifer didnʼt forget to praise herself even if Lith didnʼt do it. She couldnʼt care less about this horny pervertʼs praise.

Lith looked at Renʼs mothers, who reached around Luciferʼs shoulder in height, and greeted them with a smile as well. 

”Greetings, Vampire Prince.”

”Greetings, Vampire Prince.”

”Gree-hehe—”

”Ruth.” Lucifer looked at the zoned out girl and softly called out her name while gently massaging the back of her palm with her thumb. 

Ruth snapped out of her daze and turned to look at Lucifer with her innocent gray eyes.

”Mumma?” She said one word, but it meant ʼyou called me?ʼ. 

Lucifer naturally understood it and reminded, ”greet the Prince properly, Ruth.”

Ruth nodded her head and turned to Lith. ”Hello—”

”No, no, my dear.” Lucifer broke her calm façade and bent down to meet Ruthʼs eye level.

”When you see the Prince, you should say: ʼGreetings, Vampire Prince.ʼ Didnʼt mumma teach you this before?”

Luciferʼs tone was gentle. She wasnʼt scolding Ruth, just reminding her.

Her gentle nature made Lith think, ʼdamnnnnn. This demon can have such a side to her too? Since when!?ʼ

It was totally out of nature for Lucifer to do something like this. Lith had so many questions when looking at her changed nature.

Lucifer scrunched her nose as she felt someone thinking bad of her. She didnʼt even need to think who it would be, as she was feeling the stupid pervertʼs aura right beside her.

But for the time being, she chose to ignore it and focused on her daughter.

Ruth needed some more attention than the other two girls. She was a little special like her niece Alea, but it was okay. If Lucifer can handle a shameless little demon like Lith, then this was nothing.

Itʼs been almost eight decades since she adopted the three girls and by now, she was almost a proper mother like Lilith and Agalea. She still had a lot to learn as her motherhood had only just begun, but things were going just fine.

Her usual self wasnʼt gone though. She was still the same person behind the doors when her daughters werenʼt watching. It was stressful, but she had to appear proper when with her daughters, lest they caught her carefree nature and lost focus on cultivation.

Her girls were Supreme Rank, but individually, their power was at best a peak level Emperor Rank. She was busy training them in the last eight decades while also having fun along the way.

It was due to training that she herself understood how to properly communicate with the three. The three girls also got closer to Lucifer and accepted her as their mother.

Since they were her daughters now, it was her duty to teach them the proper ways of being Princesses. While teaching them, she groomed her own self to act like a proper Queen.

Her grandfather would surely be proud of her for once…

”Ah…” Ruth remembered something. ”Yes, yes, mumma did say it,” she bobbed her head up and down adorably and then turned to Lith. In her cute voice, she said with a smile, ”hehe… Greetings, Vampire Prince.”

ʼSO PRECIOUS!!ʼ

Lith and Lucifer both felt an arrow at their hearts and almost got a nosebleed due to the wholesomeness.

Composing himself, Lith did a light cough and handing Ruth the bouquet, said with a smile, ”I hope you enjoy your time here.”

Ruth didnʼt have the slightest of idea on what Lith meant, but instead of grabbing the bouquet, she pulled Ren out of his shirt and hugged him.

”My baby… hehe…”

”WOOOOO!”
