Vampire's Slice Of Life-Novel

Chapter 720  Academy’s Independence

Far away from the world Lith was in…

Under the starry sky, in the middle of an open hall, there sat eight figures around a round table, each giving off extremely powerful and domineering auras.

They all were of different ages and gender, but their youthful appearances hid their actual age.

Despite their different robes, the eight shared two common features, those being:

Silver hair and red eyes.

In the middle of the round table they were sitting, there was an emblem inscribed.

The inscription was that of a throne on which rests a crown. Behind the throne was a bat spreading its wings and this emblem overall denoted one thing:

Dominance.

"What was the disturbance I sensed?" A youthful man with a pale complexion donninga tuxedo, swirled his blood in a wine glass and asked.

"There seems to be a new planet at the far end…" A veiled woman said in her seductive voice.

"Then, we shall conquer it," a man with an air of nobility around him said calmly.

"What about the Asuras?" The veiled woman questioned.

"Kill on sight, just like usual." The man said calmly, not bothered by anything.

"Very well. I shall send a team of Emperors for scouting with a Supreme as their leader," the woman replied.

"Anything else?"

"Yes," replied the young man sipping on blood. "The hunt for fresh blood shall begin soon."

"Good. Like every year, the responsibility is in your hand again."

The man chuckled and replied, "the council shall not be disappointed."

Lith's world.

Human Continent.

"Huff… Huff…" Lucas, the black-haired, black-eyed man, breathed heavily as he sat down after his sword practice.

His body had grown robust and muscular, his face looked more mature and overall, he appeared like a seasoned warrior.

Fixing his breathing, Lucas took out a pen and book from his ring and writing a few things on in it, said calmly, "I've gathered an army, all that's left is to slowly take over the continent little by little, then leave for exploration once I have a proper base to come back to."

"This world is at peace, no one's going to attack the Humans unless they go on to provoke others. Controlling them is necessary otherwise the devil tragedy will repeat."

Lucas was making a journal of things he needed to do and was doing.

He had stopped whining about things and had finally started taking action.

"I must help 'that' clan and prevent them from being wiped out in the apocalypse. The apocalypse shall not stop, but people can be saved."

A few decades ago, Lucas got a notification that the apocalypse was closer than he thought it was.

It also wouldn't be stopped anymore and the system gave a mission to save the necessary people and the reward for that was also really heft.

Closing the book, Lucas got up and looked in the direction of the Vampire Continent.

"I'll find you soon."

Lucas's words contained a hidden meaning which he wasn't thinking, but knew deep within his subconscious. It was an extremely rare skill not easily acquired by just anybody.

Council of the Neutral Continent, Lenz Tower.

At the second highest floor of the Lenz Tower, there was a luxurious room with red and black themes.

It was dimly lit and the themes were set according to the present rulers.

It was the turn of the Vampires and in this room sat many men in one side sat the butlers while at the other side sat nobles from Duke and the Count clans.

butler uniforms with the Vampire Royal Family's crest on their chest pockets as well as inscribed on various places such as the long rectangular table and the ceiling.

At the main chair sat Arbour, presiding over the meetings, and at one side sat the butlers while at the other side sat nobles from Duke and the Count clans.

There was a discussion going on and it was a serious atmosphere.

The butlers were sitting upright and were fully focused. They represented the Vampire Royal Family and there was no way they could slack even for little. This may result in the image of the family being ruined and nobody wanted such a thing to happen.

The Duke and the Count clans brought the problems of the common people to the Royal family's servants and these guys suggested changes and gave appropriate solutions. If there was something they couldn't do, it would be sent to the Queen.

As of now, everyone was self-reliant and they all strived to be like this because they didn't want to bother their Queen.

Arbour was genuinely surprised and in shock as he presided over this meeting.

It was for the first time he was looking at the Vampire Society's self-reliance and how they all worked to impress their Queen.

In their quest to impress her and keep her unbothered, these guys tried to not let any problem go to her.

Somehow, this strategy was working so well, the vampires and the ones they ruled were prospering,

Vampire Society was in fact the most stable society in the world followed by the Angel Society and then the Witch, Werewolf, Dragon, Elven, Demon, and Human society.

Arbour had no idea how the Vampires were so cool and didn't end up in any power struggle, but he was starting to like this peace.

Just as he had a thought of peace, space fluctuated around him and there appeared two familiar faces: Noman and Ruben.

Noman and Ruben calmly walked towards Arbour's side and stood once they were beside him.

Ruben looked at everyone and said, "a notion needs to be passed — make the academy independent."

Everyone was confused and didn't understand a single thing.

Noman could tell this and elaborated calmly, "the Royal Family wants the Abalax World Academy to break away from the control of the CNC and become fully independent. Pass a bill down to those councilmen and have them approve it."

Arbour was surprised how easily these two took control of the whole meeting so easily and commanded them.

The butlers sitting at the sides put their palms on their chest and said in unison, "will be done, Your Holiness."

Each butler referred to their senior as sir. However, Noman's case was different.

Ever since he became a priest and got Lith married to Emilia, he was referred to as His Holiness by every other butler, demons and angels alike.

The members coming from the other Vampire Clans were kind of surprised to see this. They didn't speak on this matter and stayed quiet, letting the Royal Servants do what they wanted to.

Lark and Kyonumarru were there in this meeting, sitting close to Arbour.

Lark turned to Noman and said, "Your Holiness, if the matter escalates, if we are asked to bring approval of other races, what shall we do?"

Instead of Noman, Ruben answered with a demonic smile, "if they don't listen to their rulers, we shall replace the councilmen overnight. But if there's any rule that state we need an approval of other races, then we must get the approval of other races."

Kyonumarru got up and bowed. He then spoke, saying, "Say, sir, we get rejected for the approval. What steps shall be taken next?"

Noman looked Kyonumarru dead seriously in the eyes and said, "there should never come a situation where we're rejected. But if it happens to appear, then the answer is only one thing:"

"War."

Chills, everyone felt literal chills hearing that. They had no idea having the academy independent was such a big issue!

Not to mention, the most peaceful and pacifist guy among the entire two hundred maid servants was saying this…

This only showed how grave the situation was!

Kyonumarru sat down and the butlers immediately started writing a few things to make a notion that'll be sent down in the CNC.

Once it was done, they all turned to look at the three butlers.

Ruben extended his hand out and all the pages stacked up on his palm.

"I'll personally go down. If the notion passes, well and good. If it doesn't, be prepared for the consequences we'd need to face."

The butlers all stood up, bowed, and said in unison:

"Yes, sir!"
