Vampire's Slice Of Life

Royal Castle, Nightingale.

The castle was brightly lit in the dark environment of the Vampire Continent. It was decorated beautifully and looked very aesthetically pleasing.

Currently, the maids and butlers were roaming all around the castle to prepare things, with a lot of them still doing some final touches to the ballroom of the castle which was now turned into a marriage hall.

A few hours passed and finally everything was done. The groom, the brides, the hall, and the castle, everything was ready.

In the ballroom, there was a big stage present and in front of the stage were a lot of rows of seats. The maids and butlers were all dressed up in formal clothings, which was similar to what the nobles in the vampire continent wore.

The male clothings were dark colored suits with top hats and the female clothings were different colored layered gowns with various ornaments and accessories attached.

The stage was well decorated and in the middle of it, there was a small square pit where water was present. The water was still and just near the pit, there was Luna, the personal maid of Lilith, sitting cross-legged.

Luna was wearing dark colored priestess robes that were a bit revealing. They were tight fitting and accentuated her curves. Her thighs and cleavage were visible and her breasts seemed as if they would break out of her clothes at any moment.

She was in such clothes not because she wanted, but because these were the vampire traditions. In ancient times, the marriage ceremonies would take too long to finish and people used to get bored after a while and leave. To solve this problem, people started making changes to their ceremonies and one of the changes were the clothings of the priest and priestess.

The priest and priestess would usually be some good looking vampire and they would be made to wear such revealing clothes. Over the years, it thus ended up becoming an unofficial rule to have a sexy priest or priestess.

Though Luna was in such clothes, it didn't matter to her at all and she was as calm as the water in front of her in the square pit. The water was reflecting the silver-crimson moon and was an important part of the ceremonies.

Soon, an announcement was made by the escort servangs as Lith and the ladies entered the ballroom stating their arrival.

Everyone turned to look at them and as they did, they couldn't help but feel amazed.

Lith was wearing a black formal suit, white gloves, and his hair was flowing down his head naturally. It didn't look messy, rather, it perfectly matched his toned body, sharp jawline and his neutral face.

Beside him were his mother and sister having their hands locked with his and walking along with him.

Beside Lilith was Arya having her hands locked with her and beside Arya was Emilia doing the same thing.

At Lucy's side, there was just Alexandra present.

The ladies were all wearing black custom made royal bridal dresses that perfectly fit their bodies and brought out the most of them. These dresses, though had the same color scheme, were all different in appearance than the other and no one was wearing the same type of dress.

They all had a veil attached and there were a lot of accessories and ornaments present on them as well such as their earrings, different colored lipstick on their lips, hairpins, etc.

Lilith had a crown on her head and this was the Queen's crown. Lucy had urged her to wear this today as that would be the only right thing to do. She would've also held a sceptre in her hand but couldn't do as both her hands were occupied. One held Lith and the other was held by Arya.

Arya, like usual, had her black blindfold on her eyes but the different accessories she had today were silver colored earrings that she usually never wears, and a red colored rose in her tied bluish-silver hair, acting as a hairpin.

Emilia was more on the simplistic side and wore a green and white tiara made up of flowers. This was a different tiara than the one she wore in her wedding as the flowers in this one were freshly taken from various places in the Vampire Continent and made. There were also golden earrings she wore and a brown wooden hairpin kept her tied hair intact.

As for Lucy, she wore red colored earrings, perfectly being in contrast with the dark clothes she was wearing and a matching color hairpin was present in her hair. There was a tiara made up of dark roses on her head as well.

Beside her, Alexandra wore metallic white earrings and matching hairpin on her hair. There was also a tiara made up of nine red roses and it matched the color of her pupils as it lay on her head.

These beauties, along with their groom, were walking elegantly and with happy smiles towards the stage. They were very excited to finally get married to their beloved and the same feeling was shared by the groom, Lith as well.

As they walked, Lith knew that all his ladies looked stunning but he hadn't gotten a chance to look at them clearly since they didn't allow him to be in the changing room with them. He only just met them outside of the ballroom and was now walking towards the stage.

But no worries, he had all the time in this world and would take his time to admire them later and appreciate them. These clothes weren't coming off anyway until they reached the nuptial chamber.

Lith, along with his ladies, finally got on stage and sat close to the square pit filled with water. The ladies sat beside him in the same way they were walking while holding him.

The priestess, Luna, after ensuring that everyone was settled, looked at Lith and asked, "Your Highness, shall we begin?"

Lith nodded his head.

Luna nodded as well and taking out a book from who knows where, she started reading it and chanted verses from it.

The vampire marriage ceremonies began by seeking the blessings of the silver-crimson moon.

As Luna continued to chant, the room became darker, the ceiling of the ballroom opened up and the image of the moon in the water became brighter and brighter. Soon, crimson rays of light emerged out of the water and hit Lith and the ladies present.

Nobody tried to evade it or resist it as they knew it was nothing harmful. They simply took the light inside their bodies and felt a cool sensation all over them.

It took a while for the chants to finish and after it was done, Luna said, "Now then, let's begin with the first ceremony."

As she said that, the square pit in front of her changed into a slightly bigger circular pit. The water from inside it was gone, the ceiling was closed and the room was back to being brightly lit.

"Please drop your rings inside the pit." Luna said to everyone sitting.

They all nodded and dropped the wedding rings inside. As they did, the pit soon got filled with a milky white liquid and there was no way one would be able to see through it.

In this ceremony, the rings would be floating inside the liquid and the pit was so big from the inside, there was no way one would be able to fish out a handful of rings from it if they put their hand into it to grab them.

Magic spells were inscribed all around the pit from the inside and it ensured that only luck would come into play when someone puts their hand inside the liquid to grab the rings. There was no way one could see, feel, use their spiritual senses, or do anything that would allow them to cheat.

But of course, that was only for normal people and the ones currently in this ceremony were people who were too powerful. When there was a situation such as this, it was expected of the people getting married to not cheat and nothing else could be done about it.

Luna explained about the ceremony to everyone and said that there are ten rings inside. Five of these rings belong to Lith and were from one bride each. The other five rings were from Lith and belonged to one bride each that Lith is supposed to make them wear.

The groom and the brides are supposed to fish out the correct ring from this liquid and make their partner wear it.

If Lith succeeds in fishing out a ring for the brides, say, Lilith first, Lilith would need to reward Lith with a prize.

But if Lilith took out a ring first and made Lith wear it, Lith would need to give her a prize.

This was the same that would happen with each lady and this game was all a matter of luck. There were no skills or anything involved in this.

After having explained the rules and the things they needed to do, Luna got up from her place and backed away a bit.

The ladies all gathered around the circular pit and everyone placed their hands above the liquid as per Luna's instructions.

"When you hear a gunshot, you can begin." Luna said calmly and took out a small gun from who knows where.

Everyone got ready and looked each other in the eye with a playful smile on their faces.

But, Lith noticed that he couldn't see Arya's eyes. He looked at Luna and said, "One second, Luna."

Luna didn't fire yet and stopped.

The ladies were confused, but Lith turned to look at Arya and said with a smile, "Babe, are you going to keep wearing a blindfold even during the wedding ceremony?"

Hearing this, Arya asked, "Hmm… Should I remove it then?"

Lith shook his head and said, "Not really. I don't mind what you do. I was just asking."

"My dear lover, what do you want me to do? Remove it or keep it? Because both options are fine with me. I'll surely get a headache if I look normally with my eyes, but now I am a Supreme Rank and it'll take many years for such a thing to occur. I wear a blindfold out of habit. It's fine if you want me to remove it." Arya explained with a smile.

"Oh? Then, if it isn't affecting your health, then please remove it. I wanna see your beautiful eyes." Lith said with a smile.

"Sure." Arya smiled back and pulled her blindfold off.

Her bluish-silver silver eyelashes fluttered for a bit and finally, Lith was able to see her dazzling blue eyes. Arya's blue eyes appeared as if the whole sky and ocean was inside it and Lith wouldn't lie, this was definitely something he was missing out majorly on. He should've asked her to remove her blindfold before itself.

Arya blinked a few times and looking at Lith staring at her, she smiled and asked "Can we begin or are you just going to stare?"

Lith chuckled and looking at Luna, he said, "Okay, we can begin now."

Luna nodded and started counting.

"3…"

"...2…"

"...1."

Bang!
