Vampire's Slice of Life

Chapter 584 Lucy Makes Her Appearance

'FUUUUUCK!'

Lucifer felt a great sting on her butt as she sat and was screaming internally. 

After settling down, she turned to face Agalea and looked at her hatefully with her flushed face.

Agalea looked back at her and flashed a small smile, knowing full well what she did.

Their interaction didn't go unnoticed by Lilith and she wondered what had occurred between the two. 

But now wasn't the time for gossip and since she had invited these Supremes, she knew she had to do her job as a host.

Lilith looked at them and said in a neutral tone, "Greetings, once again. Now that everyone is here, I'll explain about today's event that will begin shortly."

Saying so, Lilith briefed everyone up with information she felt they should know before the banquet began.

They were all called on a sudden notice and she knew they would wonder why that was the case. Although Lilith could ignore their curiosities, she felt it'd be better to address a few things properly through dialogue.

While she talked, no one interrupted her.

Everyone knew her might and weren't stupid to initiate any form of conflict or do things that might offend the Vampire Queen.

While the Vampire Queen had an imposing attitude and didn't care for anyone, the same couldn't be said for the one acting in her stead.

Away from the City Hall, in a carriage, Lucy, the Reagent Queen, was staring at empty space in front of her with knitted brows.

Her emotions were in a turmoil as she was greatly stressed. This was going to be the first time she would be participating in such a grand event, but the problem lay in the fact that she would have to make an appearance in front of thousands of people from all around the world.

Simply Vampire Nobles were fine, but authorities from all over the world were coming and it stressed her.

Not to mention, she would be the one to host the entire event and all responsibilities lay on her.

This event was supposed to only have the Vampire Nobles like the Royal Banquet that happened a decade ago. But her mother had chimed in and invited everyone from around the world.

Lucy didn't know what her mother's motives were and what she wanted to achieve by doing this.

For the first time, her mother had done something that put pressure on her. And it wasn't anything light by any means.

Lucy was a great warrior, Lilith was well aware of it. But she lacked leadership skills and her experience in social aspects was low.

Lilith hadn't seen Lucy interact much with nobles and she was partly to blame for it since she too didn't interact with them and just focused on spending time with her children.

But Lilith was someone who had great experience and expertise in all fields. Lucy wasn't the same.

Lucy only had experience in terms of combat and battle. To teach her and have her experience other aspects, Lilith felt it was the right time to do so now and she invited everyone.

Lilith wanted to give Lucy a challenge but in administration related things and going through it for the first time, Lucy was stressed.

While staring into the empty space in front, Lucy's mind wandered over the things that had happened in the past few days.

Everything was so sudden and now she had to present herself in front of the whole world. It was stressful knowing that one slight mistake from hers would not only sully her reputation, but also her family's.

Clan Evure would become a laughing stock in front of the whole world if she messed up.

This was something that stressed her greatly and sadly, there wasn't anyone present around to help her deal with it.

Lucy didn't have her mother or her brother around him.

As she stared at the empty space in front, she started having an existential crisis due to the sheer amount of stress.

Freya, her personal maid, sitting beside her, felt worried by looking at her master's face.

She had never seen Lucy in such a state before and even in the most harsh times had Lucy stood strong and tall like a lance in a battlefield.

But why she was so stressed now, she didn't know. This made Freya wonder, 'Should I give Madam a call?' 

Freya was instructed to call Lilith the moment she felt Lucy's health was taking a sharp decline.

Freya felt Lucy was being too stressed and she took out her phone to dial her madam's number.

But soon…

"Your Majesty, we have arrived." The carriage driver, a Royal Servant, said.

Lucy's attention broke from staring at the empty space in front as she heard that.

"Let's go, Freya. Everyone is waiting." Lucy's attitude suddenly changed and she said in a serious tone while getting out of the carriage.

Freya was dumbfounded watching the sudden shift in mood and she put her phone inside, deciding that she'll wait and see.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the City Hall.

Reporters from all around the world were standing with cameras and microphones, sweating and trembling as their hearts beat rapidly.

The Vampire Royal Family's entourage was here and their anxiety had peaked due to it. They knew they had to report things properly as even if a slight slander or wrong term appeared out of their mouth, their fate would be worse than death itself.

All news agencies were strictly reported to not do anything that may cause any problems to the Vampire Royal Family, from the authorities of their respective races.

The people working in these agencies were so scared that they refused to take the job of reporting this event. Nobody had the courage to do this and so… the higher ups of the news agencies had to come themselves to do it.

All the people standing near the entrance holding cameras and microphones were none other than the owners of the various news agencies around the globe.

It was funny yet entertaining to see owners and CEOs of these big companies standing and taking interviews to everyone watching the live stream.

Despite being such high news personalities, their current condition was something that only they could understand.

It was nerve racking but they stood in their place, ready to do their job.

Soon… 

Everyone saw two butlers, a red-haired and a blue-haired one, appear from thin air right in front of the carriage door in which the Vampire Queen was supposedly present.

The two butlers put out stairs at the carriage door and stood at the sides, guarding the entry of the one present inside.

This time…

Everyone watching the stream, be it inside the City Hall or a random person in a random tavern of the world, they were all riled up and on the edges of their seat, awaiting the entry of the revered Vampire Queen.

They had all heard various tales regarding her and also knew that she was the one of the most beautiful beings in the world. How beautiful? Sources said that it was an otherworldly type and something that couldn't be described with mere words.

Any description of the Queen's beauty was an insult to the Queen's beauty, it was just that sophisticated.

Add to that, the Vampire Queen was supposedly also the strongest Supreme Rank in existence.

Although there were debates happening around it as they hadn't seen her fight any of the main races' Supremes, but just from the fact that she killed her own race's King and took the throne, eventually managing to stabilize everyone in just a mere few days, was enough of a proof in itself.

With such things in mind, everyone's heart raced as they couldn't wait any further to see the Queen!

The chat on the live stream had slowed down greatly at this point. Billions were watching and only a few hundred people were commenting in the live chat currently. This showed how much they were anticipating the entry.

Soon…

A beautiful pale leg with red heels appeared out of the carriage, making men and women both watching the stream have their hearts race rapidly.

In the next instant, a black sceptre appeared, followed by a majestic being donning a regal black dress and wearing a crown on her head.

On this majestic being's face, there was visible coldness and an air of authority that people could feel even from their screens.

Silence...

The whole world fell silent as they watched the majestic being step down from the carriage.

No comments appeared on the live stream anymore and even the reporters had zoned out watching the grand entrance of the revered ruler of the vampires.
