Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 550 Meeting The New Dragon Empress

Park, Abalax World Academy.

After the graduation ceremony was over, Lith, Ralph, and Dennis decided to tour the academy a bit and go back to doing their work.

They were now sitting in the place they usually hung out when in the academy.

”Such a long time has passed since I was in the academy.” Lith said, looking at the pond in front of him and throwing bread to the ducks.

”Indeed. But not so much for us. We graduated like five-six years ago.” Dennis said.

Ralph nodded and continued, ”There was no competition for us in the academy and we shouldʼve left before as well. But being a drop out of a prestigious academy wouldnʼt appear proper, so we two stayed till we were Rank 6.”

Lith chuckled hearing that. He turned to look at Ralph and said, ”Itʼs good you didnʼt just do things blindly and weighed the pros and cons.”

Ralph nodded.

”Umm… well… I had no choice.” Dennis said from the side, scratching his chin and putting out a nervous laughter.

Lith looked at him, wondering what he was saying.

Dennis made a light cough and said, ”My parents would kill me if I even thought about dropping out.”

”Why would they do that? Why will they scold you for following in the footsteps of your Prince?” Ralph asked.

Dennis sighed and said, shaking his head, ”Theyʼll scold me because I am following in the footsteps of the Prince.”

”What?” Ralph didnʼt understand. Neither did Lith.

Dennis continued, ”Itʼs because the Prince is the Prince. Heʼs too high up there and I shouldnʼt do what heʼs doing because it wonʼt fit well for me. I should go at my own pace and do things. This is what my parents would tell me.”

”Oh, I understand.” Ralph said, nodding his head.

Lith chuckled and said to Dennis, pointing at himself, ”But I am right here, on the same level, sitting on the same bench as you.”

Ralph smiled hearing that while Dennis rolled his eyes and said, ”Your Highness, I didnʼt mean literally. I meant rhetorically. Rhetorically.”

”Do you know what rhetorically means?” Ralph asked, smiling.

”Why— yes. Of course. Do I look stupid to you?”

Ralph looked at Lith and Lith chuckled in response.

Ralph smiled too and looking back at Dennis, said, ”Right. We believe you.”

”...” Dennis didnʼt understand what was happening. He couldnʼt help but ask, ”Is there some inside joke happening here that I am not a part of?”

”Hahahaha!” Lith laughed and Ralph followed suit by lightly chuckling.

”Hey! Whatʼs happening!? Involve me too!” Dennis protested.

After laughing for a bit more, Lith cleared his throat and said, ”Anyway, changing the topic, howʼs things going with the studios?”

”The artists have joined us. The lady called Ruo Zi pulled some strings from the shadows and we now have the best artists. News of the artists joining a new random studio also leaked and people are anticipating the first anime release of the new studio.” Ralph explained.

Lith nodded. ”So we need to make a banger anime if we are going to appear out of thin air.”

Ralph nodded as well. ”Otherwise our reputation would be gone.”

Lith chuckled. ”That wonʼt really happen.”

”Why?” Ralph asked, not understanding the hidden meaning behind Lithʼs words.

”Use your brain, Ralph.” Dennis added from the side. He then pointed towards Lithʼs eyes, and said with a smile, ”Because it is Studio Purple, why else?”

Lith wrinkled his nose as he had a finger point at himself. It felt weird to be called out like this.

”Stop pointing your fingers at me, Dennis.” Lith said.

Dennis laughed and put his hand away.

Ralph, still not getting it, shook his head and didnʼt dwell more on it.

The three then talked a bit more and Lith told them that he had a bit of work right now and was sleeping for one year.

He also told them that his body was under stress and he needed rest.

As for Ralph and Dennis, they were working for the studio for the past year and cultivating in Shiroi Neko itself.

They didnʼt see much growth in the past year but they should be Rank 9s in another decade or so.

Lith, who heard this, couldnʼt help but smile internally as he had some secrets he hadnʼt told them yet. He was keeping things as a surprise.

Finally after talking a bit more, they parted ways.

Lith left for the Death Dragon City and the two left for Shiroi Neko.

Empressʼ Castle, Death Dragon City.

In the dark and eerie country of the Death Dragons, there stood a majestic towering castle on an island hovering high in the sky.

This very castle, appearing dark and terrifying, was the home of the Supreme Rank, Dragon Empress Arya Relgar, also called the Death Dragon.

Death and Dark Dragon countries, having the Death and Dark Dragon tribes in them, were the only two countries in the Dragon Continent that never saw the light of day.

Any place in these two countries appeared creepy and terrifying.

But, it felt calm and beautiful to the dragons living in this place.

The Death, Destruction, Water, and War dragons had their territories close to each other and were under one ruler, Arya.

The entirety of the Dragon Continent was divided into three parts and one of three three belonged to Arya now.

Arya ruled over these four tribes of the Dragons and as for the rest, they were handled by the Star Dragon Mayzin and the Time Dragon Dagassi.

When Arya became the Supreme Rank, a meeting took place between her, Mayzin, and Dagassi.

In that meeting, the dragons were reshuffled and so were the territories.

Mayzin had five tribes under her while Dagassi and Arya had four each.

Arya had no problems regarding that neither did Dagassi.

Mayzin had the Space, Lightning, Dark, Fire, and Earth tribes under her.

Dagassi had the Time, Light, Life, and Wind tribes under him.

No Dragon tribe had anything to oppose regarding this segregation and nobody had any qualms as well.

Everyone was pretty chill and they accepted their new rules with open hearts.

Under the territory of this new ruler, the Death Dragon, the four tribes were flourishing and lived comfortably.

Arya had a lot of experience in governing people as she was the ruler of the underworld.

Scelestus owned the underworld and Arya owned Scelestus. It was one and the same thing.

The people in these four countries were having the time of their lives as they were very happy with the rule of the new Dragon Supreme.

They were not only prospering, under the rule of Arya, they had gotten new techniques and many more stuff.

Being the ruler of the underworld, Arya had lots of stuff on her.

She simply bought a few things from there to these four countries and shared them.

Of course, there were hidden motives. Being the underworldʼs ruler, she wasnʼt someone generous, easy going, or benevolent. She of course would not mistreat her people, but she also wouldnʼt give them stuff for free.

Many of the underworldʼs bases were present in these four countries. The people didnʼt know about it, but they were here.

A lot of traffic from all over the world flowed in and out of the Dragon Continent now and although it had surprised many people, they all simply ignored it.

The reason being, they thought thereʼs traffic because people want to see the new Supreme Rank or pay a visit to her countries.

In any case, the four countries were profiting greatly under Aryaʼs rule.

The Vampire Prince was now going to pay a visit to this very Dragon Empress. The newest one.

It was simply him meeting his wives, but it was also the first time he would officially meet one of the three Dragon Supremes and also visit the Dragon Continent.

He hadnʼt been there before and it would be first time.

He wouldnʼt lie, he was a bit excited to see how it would be.

He wanted to look around the continent as he had also heard that his wife was doing a very good job in ruling the people.

He wanted to see how they were flourishing.

But before touring the place, he had to see his two wives. They took more priority.

Lith couldnʼt directly teleport to the Empressʼ Castle in Death Dragon City as it was a Supreme Rankʼs place and was well guarded.

None of the Emperor Rank Royal Servants could do this as well and he had to either call Arya or his mother to get in.

Since Arya was yet to know that he was awake, he decided to surprise her by making a visit and so he took help of his mother.

Lilith readily agreed and took Lith away from the Neutral Continent and directly inside the Empressʼ Castle.
