Vampire's Slice Of Life

For the first time since its inception, the Vampire Royal Court had this many people in it.

For all this while, the throne room was as empty as it could be with little to no activities happening as Lilith didn't bother to act like a Queen.

But now, she did bother to do her job and this caused the place to become so lively.

The Royal Servants were staring at the almost hundred people their Queen had summoned, wondering what they had to do or the Queen would do.

At this moment, Lith's senses recovered and as he had a look around him, he became confused and wondered what was happening.

He turned to face his mother, only to feel a tap on his shoulder. 

Lith looked back and it was Luna who had placed her hand on his shoulder.

As Luna had Lith's attention, she bent down and whispered in his ears, 

"Your Highness, please remember, you're an observer. No matter what happens, you'll only watch and not cause any disturbance in the court."

Lilith had given instructions to Luna regarding Lith and she was following those.

Lith was supposed to be an observer and although he could disturb the court or chime in to say anything he wanted, it would be better if he didn't and just stayed like an observer.

Lilith wouldn't really mind if Lith did that but she had to teach Lith a few things now that she had gotten the opportunity.

Since Lith was a Prince, there would be a lot of times he would be called to various different courts. In each court session, there was tension and friction among the members.

There would also be times when Lith would feel annoyed or have a turmoil in his emotions or perhaps times when he would feel like killing everyone in the court.

However, acting on impulse as well as not retaining rationality or simply having various fluctuations in emotions was not a good thing. A great individual had their emotions in check and Lith had to learn it.

For instance, despite being called a bitch, Lilith felt little to nothing. Her emotions changed only when things had come down to her daughter, otherwise even if she was called more names or even had people curse her ancestors, she wouldn't give a damn.

Her children meant everything to her and she wouldn't tolerate things.

Of course, this didn't mean that Lilith would always be on the lookout for people cursing her children and kill them one by one.

There were various levels to her tolerance.

Taking the current example once again, Lucy was called incompetent and if it was said by someone at any other time, Lilith wouldn't have cared.

But Lucy was just starting to learn the ways of being a Queen. She was progressing little by little and someone slandering her like that was an insult to the hard work she did all this while.

Lilith thus had fluctuations in her emotions and became slightly angry.

But as for Lith, he wasn't able to tolerate anyone slandering his mother.

Lilith, although happy that her child loved her so much and was so angry about someone cursing her, she still felt he shouldn't have such drastic changes in his emotions.

There were a lot of dogs in the world who only barked and didn't bite. Their barks meant no more than a fart. Trying to shoo them away was simply wasting energy and time.

Lith had to learn these things was what Lilith was thinking.

By having him in court and instructing Luna to keep him quiet, Lilith was trying to make Lith be more calmer and observant.

Lith, being told to be quiet nodded his head and focused in front. But as he did so, the memories of just a bit back flowed in.

He knitted his brows and his anger was once again starting to swell up. However, having been through that once and now being told to be quiet, Lith's state was much better and different than before.

'So those are the people who said that?' He thought to himself as he looked at them.

He had a calm expression on the outside but from the inside, he was anything but calm.

Lith was planning the ways he would kill the people present in front, but being told that he was an observer and couldn't disturb the court was what making him stay seated and not do anything.

Lith was starting to become restless with each passing second as he looked at the people in front.

Lilith, sitting a bit away from Lith, how could she not feel what her son was going through? But of course, she didn't say anything to him as she was testing his patience.

Lilith diverted her attention away from Lith and looking at Ruben in front, asked, "Tell me, why are these people still alive?"

Lilith knew that anyone who cursed the Royal family wouldn't be alive to see the light of the new day's silver moon.* So why were these people still alive? She wondered.

Ruben, bowing, answered, "I had no idea who was involved and the others were in the midst of investigating, but Madam had called us to the court and we had to halt the things we were doing. I apologise for my incapabilities. Madam should punish me." 

Lilith realized the reason. It seems that this thing had happened just recently, otherwise there was no way her servants wouldn't be playing football with the heads of the ones who had made such slander.

Lilith nodded her head lightly and said, "I'll let it slide this time because I was the one who called everyone. But of course, you can't go unpunished."

Lilith wasn't an unreasonable person. She was also only punishing Ruben because she knew if she didn't, Ruben would feel disheartened and would be depressed knowing he was incompetent.

He was a prideful demon, not being able to do things quickly even though it wasn't his fault was bound to make him doubt himself. Punishing him would make him steer off that topic and be back to normal.

Lilith turned towards Noman after talking about punishment and continued,

"Noman, you are to sing the holy songs and test some new purification spells that you are creating on Ruben. Show no mercy. You can stop once you're satisfied or if Ruben dies by any chance." 

A long ensued in the entire court. Nobody felt what the Queen had said was funny, except of course, the Queen herself, Luna and Noman, who were internally laughing.

As for Ruben, he had his brows knitted and was internally cursing himself to not have done the job properly. 

If he had done so, he wouldn't be tortured like this.

To others it may sound funny, but this thing was no joke.

Noman was an Emperor Rank Seraphim, his holy songs were literally a killer weapon and it would only be a miracle if Ruben survived this onslaught.

But of course, Noman wouldn't really sing to kill Ruben. 

Or would he? 

This was something even Ruben couldn't predict. Mind you, Ruben had always called himself to be Noman's best friend and he couldn't predict what his best friend would do.

But of course, that was from his side.

On Noman's side, he had always denied any claims of Ruben being his best friend.

As Lith heard the punishment and about the holy songs, it made him shudder, as he remembered his wife's torture.

Emilia literally had shown no mercy on him last time and he regretted teasing her. Although he did have a sexy time with her, listening to the holy songs from the mouth of a Seraphim itself was not a pleasant experience.

But of course, despite being tortured, his wife seemed too sexy when she took such a dominant role.

As he thought about that, not just his mind, but even his little brother was confused as to whether it should be limp in fear or roar by being turned on by remembering the sexy look that Emilia gave last time.

Lith shook his head and shoved those thoughts aside. Now was not the time to remember such things!

But of course, now that he did remember it, he thought to himself,

'I might really be a closeted maso like Lucy. Or maybe I just have a thing for dominant waifus. Hmm... The latter is definitely a big possibility. I don't think I am a maso.'

'Yeah, I am sure I am into tall, dominant, and ladies with a big butt.'

'Definitely.'

'Yes, me no maso.' 

And so...

Thinking of such things, the Vampire Prince successfully patched his anger issues and sat calmly in the one of the world's highest level courts.
