Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 822 Miwa Meets Yexin

When Lith asked her a question, Miwa continued to walk and replied, ”Thereʼs quite a few things left. Why?”

”I need you to see someone and talk to them.” Lith stated his intentions honestly.

”Someone who?” Miwa asked while struggling to take steps.

Her face was red and her muscles were still bulging, a sign that she was exerting herself to her fullest potential.

Lith, still on the wooden rod connecting the buckets, answered, ”Yexin. Do you know about her?”

”Yexin?” Miwa couldnʼt recall anybody called by that name.

”The Empress… the ruler of Kingdom of Yexin.” Lith clarified.

”The ruler, oh— OHH— OHHH… WHAT!?”

Miwa dropped the buckets as soon as she heard that, completely in shock.

She turned around to see Lith, who was standing tall, and was just able to see his chest.

Miwa didnʼt hesitate to kick Lith behind his knee and have him bend down.

Getting him at his eye level, she put her hands on his shoulders and asked with shock, ”What did you just say!?”

Such a kick wouldnʼt have Lith falter like that, but Miwa was a friend and he bent down to meet her eye level willingly.

Looking at her, Lith chuckled and asked, ”Why are you surprised like that? Didnʼt I tell you that I am the Vampire Prince? I could literally even meet your Human Ancestor, this is nothing.”

Miwa frowned upon hearing that and then let go of Lithʼs shoulders.

She suddenly realized that her question was totally stupid and that the way she was surprised was also really dumb.

She shouldʼve remembered that this tall annoying idiot was actually an authority and not someone normal.

It wasnʼt her fault to forget this though. In her head, she had thought of the Vampires to be cruel, bloodthirsty, evil, and whatnot. Naturally, their Prince would be someone cruel too, she thought.

But in reality, what Miwa was looking at was totally different.

This guy was far too stupid to seem like the Prince and the two friends he had, they too didnʼt give off that royalty-like vibes.

In any case, realizing her mistake, Miwa scrunched her nose and said, ”Why do you want me to meet Her Majesty?”

Miwa literally lived in the kingdom right beside Yexinʼs. It would be weird of her to go meet the Empress like that and thus she asked.

”Are you willing to meet her or not? Or are you perhaps afraid that youʼll be beaten up by Yexin?” Lith didnʼt answer and instead steered the conversation into provoking Miwa.

Miwa knitted her brows at this. ”Why would the Empress beat me?”

Lith shrugged. ”How would I know? Thatʼs your fear, not mine.”

”What…” Miwa had no idea just what the hell was this conversation even that she was having and got really confused.

”Master, why are you even asking?” Fei chimed in at this time and said. ”You can just take Miss Miwa against her wishes and have her interact.”

”Oh!” Lith clapped his hands as if he hadnʼt thought of this before. ”Youʼre right. Why am I even asking this shorty for her opinion? Does her opinion even matter? Pfft…”

Lith said this to spite Miwa and teased her.

A vein popped on Miwaʼs forehead, but before she could even say anything in reply, Lith wrapped his arm around her shoulders and vanished from the spot.

Miwa didnʼt even get the time to react or protest and in just an instance, the three reached a spacious grand room, where there was a throne at the end of it, upon which was a vixen sitting and staring down at her subjects in a domineering manner.

The sudden spatial fluctuations alerted the woman and being shocked, she got up from her seat and activated all her defences.

In no time, Lith, Fei, and Miwa were bombarded with multiple attacks and this made Miwa get on full alert mode and take a defensive stance.

Though, it wasnʼt too much of a stress on her as with just the flick of a finger, Fei made everything explode, dumbfounding the woman on the throne.

”Itʼs all you from here on, Miwa. Go talk to her about…”

Lith walked up to Miwa while saying so.

As he reached in front of her, he tapped her forehead with his index finger. ”…about this.”

Information poured into Miwaʼs mind immediately and mixed emotions appeared on her face.

Still, she retained her calmness and giving Lith a hateful look for dragging her into this, walked up to the Emperor Rank Yexin, standing in front of her throne.

”Who are you three?” Yexin asked in a calm tone, concealing all her worries.

Even though the situation had completely flipped on her and things had changed, Yexin didnʼt show any emotional change and pretended that everything was fine.

This was one of the qualities of a great leader and she was not going to show any form of weakness to her enemies.

Yexin stood there still, domineering her bearing once again.

Miwa, with her upper half of the kimono still folded down, tapped onto one of her deltoids and swung her arms, stretching the tight muscles to relax them.

She appeared menacing while doing so and as she walked close to Yexin, not even a slight hint of worry could be seen on her face.

”I canʼt believe that a day would come when Iʼd find a child like that to be so strong.” Lith said softly to Fei beside her.

Feiʼs lips twitched upon hearing that. ”Master, sheʼs your age and not a child.”

Not every short person was a child. And Miwa for sure wasnʼt one with how she looked.

Fei was annoyed by her masterʼs comment because Miwa looked older than her. If Miwa was a child, then what was Fei? An infant or something?

Lith ignored his cute butler and focused on the menacing shorty in the front.

Miwa walked past the kneeling subjects and took the stairs to go right up towards Yexin.

Yexin, a goth woman with hourglass-like figure, donning purple robes, stared at the brown-haired Miwa walking close to her.

She exuded her Emperor Rank pressure and tried to let Miwa know who she was up against, but sadly for her, there was no effect on Miwa.

Miwa easily walked close to Yexin and looking up to meet her eye level, she asked while squinting her eyes, ”Your Majesty, I expected better from you, but all you did were cheap things.”

A frown formed on Yexinʼs face. ”You are?”

This was her first question. She didnʼt care about what Miwa was referring to, all that mattered was who she was.

Yexin could clearly see that there was no effect of her aura on Miwa. If that was the case, she must definitely belong to some revered clan.

Yet, if such was the case, then why was she calling her with honorifics? Yexin didnʼt understand this.

Miwa, when asked a question like that, felt obliged to answer since this was her superior.

Though, she had been strictly told by Lith to not put herself down in any case whatsoever.

She was instructed to treat Yexin as if she was her equal and not be intimidated by her.

Miwa wasnʼt really intimidated, she just felt the need to introduce herself since she was literally a peasant as compared to the Empress here.

However, with being strictly told to act like equals, she didnʼt act submissive or like a peasant in front of Yexin. Instead, she said calmly while still looking up, ”Iʼm Miwa from the Mountain Town Washi in the Karonji Kingdom. Is this enough of an introduction for you?”

A surprise look flashed over Yexinʼs face. A countryside bumpkin dared to come up here and talk to her like this?

”Are you courting death, peasant?” Yexin said and tried to put her hand on Miwaʼs head, but found herself unable to do so.

Miwa frowned upon being called so rudely like that.

She realized, Lith was right and she shouldʼve definitely treated this woman as equal.

Although she wasnʼt wrong at being called a peasant, since she really was one, with the tone Yexin had just said that, Miwa didnʼt like it one bit.

”You know… Empress Yexin. Iʼm really trying to be nice here.” Miwa said with her eyes flashing with a serious glint.

Being called by her name right away made Yexin frown harder. ”What did you—”

”Iʼm the one asking questions here, Yexin.” Miwa said and kicked Yexinʼs legs, making her get down on her knees.

Miwa didnʼt know her kick had so much strength in it, but she wasnʼt complaining for now.

It really seemed stupid to look up and talk to someone. She cursed everybody who was taller than 160 cm and wished that in the next life, they donʼt go past 130 cm.

Miwa was 165 cm, but that was something she said to everybody and not her actual height. She was actually 162.5 cm, but adding 2.5 extra centimetres never hurt nobody.

With Yexin on her knees, Miwa stared right down at her and asked, ”I question, you answer, got it?”
