Vampire's Slice Of Life

Council of the Neutral Continent, Espat.

A few levels below the top most floor, many men and women in formal robes were sitting around a round table and discussing things. These people were the council members and working hours weren't over yet so they were busy with their discussion.

Suddenly, space fluctuated around them and everybody got up from their seats and were half wary and half on guard. They weren't panicked as one would've thought them to as they were well aware that anyone above their own ranks could enter and exit the headquarters as they pleased.

The headquarters was protected by a very expensive defensive barrier which ensured that not even 100 Emperor ranks would be able to break it if they tried. The barrier was made with the help of the Supreme ranks and hundreds of Emperor ranks and thus was very sturdy.

This fact was known by the whole world and the council members weren't an exception to it. Thus, they weren't panicked, just wary about which Supreme rank they were about to face.

The fluctuations stopped and in the center of the round table, a beautiful purpled-haired, black-eyed, voluptuous lady walked out of thin air wearing silver robes with purple linings and having two black horns protruding out of her forehead. 

As soon as the people in the meeting room saw her, they all bowed and said respectfully in unison

"The Council of the Neutral Continent greets Her Excellency, the Dragon Empress!" 

Mayzin nodded her head and waved her arm, gesturing the people to sit, and a chair also flew towards her when she did that and got placed behind her. She sat on it and said in a neutral and overbearing tone

"It seems you bunch do not put me in your eyes. Interesting. Very interesting."

She also released a bit of her Supreme rank aura while mocking at the end and the people in the room were suffocating due to it. That being the case, they still tried their best to not make a scene in front of the Dragon Empress and one of the men sitting on a chair at the round table managed to mutter

"Y-your Excellency, c-could you p-p-please tell us w-what wr-wrong we did?" 

The man had no wish to question the Empress as to what she meant when she said not putting her in their eyes and directly asked for his wrong doings. He knew arguing with a Supreme rank was asking for a death wish and it would not only be him who would, everyone else in the room would too.

The others who heard the man ask such a question sighed in relief internally. They were thankful that he didn't ask anything stupid to the Dragon Empress and made the already tense atmosphere, even tenser. 

They all focused on trying to survive in the Supreme's aura that brought so much pressure on them after hearing the man's words and everyone tacitly, even without communicating with each other, considered him as the spokesperson now.

Mayzin looked at the person who just spoke and said in a flat tone, "Wrong you ask? Hmm, let's see. The thing you went wrong with is definitely one thing. It's taking me as a joke." 

Saying so, Mayzin released a bit more of her aura and the people in the room plopped down on the ground. They couldn't handle the pressure and even their high magic cultivation didn't seem to help.

If previously they were suffocating, now they were definitely dying and on their wits end. If what was going, went even a bit longer or if the pressure increased a bit more, everyone in the room would turn into meat paste and it was a sure-short thing.

Mayzin obviously knew their limit and after having them suffer for a bit, she minimised her aura, just enough so that they were able to catch their breaths and talk.

The people in the room were in despair. They had no idea what wrong they did to suffer so much. What they experienced just now was something they had never done so in thousands of years. But the pressure soon was alleviated, allowing them to have a bit of relief.

The man who had spoken previously, mustered up courage and said, "Your Excellency, we do not dare. Please have mercy." 

Mayzin sighed after hearing the man speak. She wasn't an irrational person who did things without thinking through. Though she may be angry about her childhood friend being mistreated, she still retained her sanity and was here to question these people, not kill them.

Killing these bunch was as easy as swatting flies but doing so would result in loss of manpower and the Neutral Continent would go into chaos due to no one being present to manage them. This would result in severe losses of lives and property and the peaceful Neutral Continent would lose its neutrality.

"Why was Arya fired and why was I not notified about it?" She asked in a neutral tone once again.

The people in the room finally realized what everything was about and felt relieved. The man who had spoken before said hurriedly

"Your Excellency, please wait a minute, I will bring you the documents and you'll understand everything." 

He rushed towards a certain hall, came back within an instant and handed over the document to Mayzin. Mayzin went through it and she showed no reaction about whatever was written in the first and the second para, however, just as she read the last line which had the sign of the Human Ancestor, her brows knitted together and she dropped the document in her ring.

She looked at the council members and said in a neutral tone once again

"Next time when you're dealing with any Emperor rank, be it from my race or any other, make sure the Supreme rank is notified about it. And also, this document is null and void from now onwards. 

Send an apology to Arya as well as a warning to whoever this Eric guy is to not pull such stunts again. I will personally visit Darren for this matter. Understood?"
