Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 1054 Royal Servant Tiers

A deafening explosion sent tremors around the whole forest. The ground caved in and dust covered the surroundings in its rough blanket.

Aline and Maria protected themselves and the pack of wolves from flying away. Their vision was blocked for a second, but as it returned and the dust settled, the scene in front made them raise their eyebrows.

Maria joined her hands and said with a sparkling expression, ”Oh my…”

In front of them stood a man with silver hair with his wide back facing them.

His silver hair swayed along with the wind, showing his trimmed undercut, and coupled with the serious aura around him, things couldnʼt get any more majestic.

Lith stood in front of Aline and Maria. His hands were behind his back and he was looking at the distance like an army general.

In the air in front of Lith, Ren, Zen, and Rena were frozen in place.

Renʼs mouth was biting Zenʼs side while Zen bit him back on his shoulder.

On the other side, his arm was raised and bent, trying to block the kick coming from Rena.

Renaʼs foot was touching Renʼs forearm as she descended down from above.

The threeʼs attacks hadnʼt penetrated. They had just scratched each other lightly, and were stopped just in time. Had they not been stopped, the three mightʼve ended up killing each other.

Lith used the time spell [Time Stop].

The name was spell, but the spell was complex and wasnʼt to be trifled with. Even geniuses with outstanding talent were not able to bring out its full potential.

Having stopped the three from mutual destruction, Lith walked towards them and pulled them apart.

After doing so, he applied a Life spell that would heal them along with a Water spell that made their mind tranquil.

Finally, he used a Dark spell to clear away all their negative thoughts.

While the Dark element was notorious for its corruption type properties, it also had rare spells such as these that helped in clearing away those corruption. A snake might be venomous, but its venom also had medicinal properties.

The three were then knocked unconscious. Lith held Zen and Rena at his side with one arm. With the other, he held Renʼs scruff. This boyʼs size was too big for him to hug him closer to his body like Zen and Rena.

Before leaving, Lith turned his head to the side and said, ”Maria, Aline, please clean up the mess.”

To the two maids, there was no one as cool as Lith in the whole world as of this moment.

Being talked to like that, even being told ʼpleaseʼ, brought a level of pleasure that could not be described in mere words.

Almost love-struck, the fangirls kneeled, bowed, and put their palms on their chests.

”Please leave it to us, Your Highness.”

The two yelled at the same time. Their enthusiasm made Lith smile. He turned around and looked at them.

”If you two donʼt have work later, come and have tea with me.”

Saying so, Lith immediately vanished from his spot, leaving the two wide-eyed young maidens.

Aline and Mariaʼs heart throbbed so hard that it seemed it would leap out at any moment. The two trembled and looked up, but found Lith to have gone.

”Aaaahhhhhh~!”

Aline held her face and moaned as her eyes turned red and a similar hue blush spread throughout her face and body.

Maria wasnʼt any better than her. Her hands were joined and in front of her mouth, with her eyes tearing up, and her body trembling just like Alineʼs.

”H-H-H-H-His Highness… h-h-he just… did he just…”

Mariaʼs body heated up and she turned red as a tomato. Her eyes then rolled back as she couldnʼt make heads and tails of the situation.

She collapsed beside Aline and was trembling even in her unconscious state as drool leaked from the corner of her mouth.

The two maidsʼ reaction was seen by everyone, including Lith, from the rooftop of the castle as he returned.

Staring at the screen on the round table, Qingyue shook her head and said with a sigh, ”Your Highness must refrain from speaking like that. Really, this is the fourth time this has happened.”

”Fourth time?” Mayzin raised an eyebrow and asked as she sipped on tea.

Qingyue, standing beside Lilith and pouring her another cup of tea, nodded her head.

”Yes, Milady. Thereʼs an unofficial hierarchy among the Royal Servants based on their mental tenacity. His Highness had been repeatedly warned to speak like an authority and be firm when talking to the B and C tier servants.”

”Hm?” Mayzin put the teacup down and looked at Qingyue with a questioning gaze, gesturing her to elaborate.

In her stead, Sylvia, who was walking towards Mayzin after grabbing her puppy back from Lith, said while hugging in her folded arms, ”Thereʼs four tiers in the hierarchy, and the clanʼs Royal Servants are placed in them.”

Sylvia reached close to Mayzin and took a seat beside her.

”The tiers are S, A, B, and C with the S tier being the one where the strongest willed servants are present. In this tier, the servants donʼt lose their minds when they see Master and are completely rational. They can hold proper conversations with him and advise him or even scold him if he did something wrong.”

”Hoh?” Mayzin sipped the tea amusingly. This was the first time she was hearing of the existence of something like that.

Lilith put her teacup down and said with her gaze lingering on the rippling clear blue tea, ”In our house, strength is not everything and everyone has the freedom to do whatever they want. If it was even me who did something wrong, they could come up to me and tell me straight to the face with no consequences whatsoever. I believe in their judgment and will listen to them.”

To give an example of what Lilith had just said, Qingyue took a step closer to her and placed her palms on her shoulders, giving her a massage.

She turned to look at Mayzin and continued, ”Madam has raised us like her own children. We do not dare to question her actions as itʼs impossible for us to do so in the first place. Our minds are wired to listen to her. If she says sheʼll jump in a pool of burning lava, we will jump along with her.”

”However, what she means to say here is that just like kids who question their parents, we too can do the same. When growing up, kids have a curiosity phase, then a rebellious phase, and then a mature phase where they understand everything. We too have something similar going on with us and question Madam time to time.”

Qingyueʼs words were heartfelt and soft. Anyone could make out just how much respect she held for Lilith.

Meanwhile, Lilith was smiling warmly. Internally thinking, ʼSo she can indeed let loose and be audacious.ʼ

Lilithʼs philosophy was to let people be free. If they werenʼt free to do whatever they wanted, then there would be no difference between them and golems that worked totally on command.

Being free made the servants more human or emotionally intelligent. They had their own personalities, likes, and dislikes.

It was also their own free will to choose to serve Lilith. She had never forced them into doing it.

Doing such a thing did not always work as people could have their minds changed at any given time, but it was Lilith that was in the equation.

The people she chose, the people she saved, and the people she raised… they werenʼt ordinary folks. All of them had one or two screws loose in their heads, which is the reason why Lilith had a hundred percent of their loyalty and submission.

No matter S, A, B, or C tier, the servants were smart enough to know when to speak and when not to. They were the most sane beings on this planet and knew where their input was required and when they should simply obey their superiorʼs commands.

The Vampire Society wasnʼt running smoothly simply due to the Emperor Rank Clans and the name of the Vampire Royal Family wasnʼt feared and revered without reason.

It may come off as rude for a maid to suddenly touch their master and speak to their acquaintance without permission, resulting in even getting beheaded, but the Evure Clan was different, and this was their beauty, and the reason why everyone loved to be a part of it.

Qingyue continued to explain to Mayzin about the tiers and the way the servants worked.

Lith stood at the side, analyzing Ren and Rena. He wasnʼt interested in the ladiesʼ talks as he was already aware of everything.

He was interested in the two beasts in front of him. They had surprised him quite a lot.

ʼWithout even me realizing, you two have grown to such a degree huh.ʼ

While Lith analyzed the unconscious beasts, back at the round table, Qingyue had finished explaining.

Mayzin put her teacup down and said, ”So S tier servants are the most sane, A tier servants are almost sane, B tier servants arenʼt sane, and the C tier servants are insane. Yes?”

”Pfft…” Lilith covered her mouth and giggled while Qingyue, Sylvia, and even Fei, who was silently listening to the conversation while standing by Lithʼs side, smiled ear to ear.

”Thatʼs right.” Qingyue answered while still smiling. ”B and C tier servants need to be spoken to with absolute authority and dominance. They have to be treated harshly as if they are slaves. If itʼs not done so, they might lose their minds and go crazy. It is for this reason that only a select few maids and butlers speak with His Highness, Her Majesty, and Madam.”

Qingyue then sighed and continued, ”If Aline and Maria werenʼt nearby and the first ones who could go at the site, I wouldʼve sent someone else. It was an oversight on my part to think His Highness might behave.”

Mayzin was really amazed by the working of Lilithʼs clan. She propped her hands on the table, placed her chin on her interlocked fingers, and said, ”Honestly, itʼs so cool.”

She turned to look at Lilith.

”I really should take tips from you on how to have good subordinates. Mine are so useless that they canʼt even get all the work done when Iʼm sleeping.”

”You want a tip?” Lilith smiled warmly and asked.

”Yeah, if you have any, give them to me.” Mayzin said in a serious manner.

”Alright, come closer.”

Mayzin did as asked.

Lilith leaned close to her ear, placed her hand on it, and whispered, ”Iʼll give you a tip if you promise me that youʼll be honest with yourself and not reject any tip you get.”

Mayzin was confused. Why would she reject tips?

She nodded her head in agreement. ”I promise.”

”Are you sure?” Lilith asked with a soft chuckle. ”I wasnʼt talking about the tip that meant advice.”

”What?”

Lilith got back to her normal position and stared at Mayzin with a smirk.

”Huh?” Mayzinʼs brain was trying to process what Lilith had just said

Soon, her facial expression changed from confused to shocked to a deeply embarrassed one. Her face turned red and she facepalmed, covering her eyes.

Lilith simply smirked and sipped on tea.

”You…” Mayzin said while breathing heavily. ”…I really need to stay away from you and everyone related to you. Itʼs dangerous to my health.”

”…and also your insides.” Lilith winked at Mayzin.

BAM!

”Ahhhhh! I am leaving!”

Mayzin got up and walked away.

”I am never coming here again!” She exclaimed before teleporting.

”You sure arenʼt, because youʼll be coming somewhere else!”

Lilith sent a final jab, making Mayzinʼs face red with anger and embarrassment. She showed a middle finger to her, then before vanishing, said two words.

”Fuck you!”

As she left, Lilith put the teacup down and said with a hearty chuckle while looking at spot Mayzin was before disappearing, ”Oh my dear, it wonʼt be me this time around. Youʼll be fucking someone else now, fufufu…”
