Vampire's Slice of Life

Hecate was lost in her thoughts for a bit but soon came to her senses and answered Lith in a neutral tone,

"I have been called by Her Majesty, Your Highness."

"I see." Lith nodded his head. He smiled and said, "If you want to meet mom, she's free now."

Hecate nodded her head. She bowed and said, "If there's anything His Highness needs, feel free to contact me. I'll be taking my leave then."

Lith nodded and left after saying farewell to Hecate.

This was probably the shortest interaction between them. Even so, Lith could tell that Hecate hadn't changed even after so many years.

He vividly remembered the day when he first saw her. That day, Lith realized that his mother was the Vampire Queen.

It was fun to remember how shocked he was and how his mother had responded to his silly questions.

Hecate was a bit special to Lith. She was the first person Lith had seen other than this mother or sister since he arrived in this world.

He remembered that he hadn't seen Luna or any other Royal Servant until he had his first feeding session.

Hecate had always been good to Lith. Even though she appeared subservient, her attitude didn't seem like she was forced to provide her services. She did not show a trace of hate or dislike towards her job or her employers, namely his mother and him.

Hecate had always been supportive in all his past dealings with her. He realized that he really underappreciated her and didn't give her enough credit.

Lith made a mental note to treat her better the next time he saw her. Then he went on his way to look for clothes he could wear tomorrow.

Luna tagged along with him, and the two soon reached Lith's bedroom.

Lith's bedroom was larger when compared to his mother's. The reason was quite obvious.

Lilith knew Lith's harem would only increase in the future. With that in mind, she had ordered the room to be made in such a manner that it could accommodate all his ladies and even be enlarged further.

There was a big bed in his room, a tall ceiling, a lot of space to put in a sofa, a tv, and other entertainment systems. It also had a large fireplace in the room.

Lith walked towards the sofa and sat down on it. He lay back on it and relaxed.

As he did so, Luna walked close to him and said, "Your Highness, when are you going to decide on your outfit for tomorrow?"

Lith, relaxing on the sofa with his eyes closed, "It's a pain to go out and do shopping. Maybe later in the evening?"

"You don't need to go out," Luna answered.

Lith opened one of his eyes and looked at Luna. "Do we have clothes available for selection in the castle itself?"

Luna shook her head. "We don't, but there are ways for you to select robes. One second, let me show you."

Luna walked in front of the space between the sofa and the tv and drew a magic circle.

Soon, it lit up, and a green-colored light radiated from it.

"It's done. Please stand in the middle, and you'll know the rest." Luna said.

Not knowing what it was, Lith decided to give it a try.

He got up and walked to the center of the magic circle.

As he stood in the center, Luna walked towards him and started taking off his robes.

This made Lith ask, "Why are you taking my clothes off?"

Without looking at Lith's face, Luna answered, "It's important, Your Highness. I can explain why, but why don't you see it for yourself?"

Lith nodded and agreed with what she said. It wasn't the first time Luna had taken off his clothes, and he wasn't shy. He was just curious about what was happening here.

After Luna was done taking off his clothes and leaving him on just his underwear, she went to the sofa and sat on it. She then took out a tablet screen and started working to have Lith choose clothes.

Soon, In front of Lith, a big screen appeared. This screen showcased many options for him to choose from.

"Just think of the option you want to select, and you'll be able to browse through the screen," Luna said.

Lith nodded. He had a system now and was familiar with how to use mind commands.

Lith did that, and under the clothes menu, he chose shirts and browsed through a list of shirts.

He found a good shirt and picked it. In the next instant, the shirt materialized around his torso. Lith was amazed by this technology.

He touched the shirt to see if it was real or not and was shocked when he found it was real.

Lith looked at Luna and said, "It sure is a nice trick."<.com></.com>

Luna smiled. "I told you, it's better to experience it yourself than hear about it from me."

Lith nodded, agreeing with her statement.

For the next few moments, he carefully checked himself in the mirror. Then he smiled at Luna and said, "This is great, but it doesn't feel as nice as when you help me put clothes on."

Luna smiled upon hearing that. "I can help you do it even now, but doesn't His Highness think he'll be bored to have his clothes changed a hundred or maybe a thousand times?"

Hearing that number made Lith drop his smile. 'Damn, she's right.' He thought to himself.

It felt sexy to have your maid help you change clothes, only if it is one set of clothes. Repeatedly doing the same thing would definitely become annoying.

Lith nodded his head and once again agreed with Luna.

He then tried on a few more shirts and got busy selecting clothes.

While he was busy…

Barony of Bernard, Human Continent.

The afternoon had passed, and the sky was starting to darken.

As the last rays of daylight extinguished, many carriages started moving towards the castle of Baron Bernard.

Today was a special occasion in the Barony of Bernard as it so happened to be the birthday of the Baron's daughter. A grand event was being hosted to celebrate her birthday.

Not only was it the celebration of her birthday, but also to commemorate the fact that she had reached Rank 8!

Becoming a Rank 8 within a hundred years was an astonishing feat!

The world's average population would not even hope to cross the Rank 6 mark, let alone become Rank 8s, that too before turning hundred.

For the ones who did become Rank 8s, their average age was around five hundred to a thousand years old.

Baron Bernard's daughter was definitely talented and had caught the attention of many higher nobles.

In this world, if you didn't have money or authority, the only way to form connections with the higher-ups was through your cultivation.

But, of course, the path of cultivation was just as tricky.

Not only one faced numerous obstacles like inner demons and bottlenecks, but the powerful people would also try to kill the talented seeds not affiliated with them.

After all, why allow talents to mature and become a threat to them?

The higher-ups of the Main races usually didn't kill the talents of their own race, as it meant weakening their own race.

However, they always kept an eye on the other seven races. They tried to kill the geniuses that stood out by rising through the ranks faster than usual.

Everything was done sneakily and with underhanded methods. It was evil of the other races, but it was just how it was.

Under such pressure, someone like a small Baron's daughter still managed to rise to the Rank. It was an astonishing feat in itself! Yet, she had done it without exceptional support or background!

The higher-ups of the human race would only notice the talents if they were Rank 9 or above or from some prestigious academy like the Abalax World Academy.

Baron Bernard knew this fact.

To ensure his daughter would receive the attention of the higher-ups of the human race, he hosted a grand event using her birthday and rise in cultivation as an excuse.

Almost all the other Barons, Knights, and even Viscounts were making an appearance at this Grand party.

Bernard had spared no effort to coax them into coming. He used the help of a Count he knew. He let out a word that the Count would be coming, which resulted in everyone readily accepting the invitation.

The nobles were all greedy people. Everyone wanted to form connections with the Count, as in the aristocracy, only relationships mattered.

Even the nobles who didn't like Baron Bernard had accepted the invitation and were coming.

? In just an hour, as the day ended, all the invited nobles were now in Baron Bernard's castle, chatting together over drinks and waiting for Bernard to appear.

However, amidst the invited nobles, there was one exception, who was currently standing in a corner of the ballroom, gazing at everyone and analysing them.

This exception held a wine glass in his hand and lightly stirring it, said softly to himself, "So many people. Interesting."

"I guess instead of just finishing my mission, I'll be having a feast and making Master proud."
