Vampire's Slice Of Life

Dracula Castle, Milano.

"Phew. He didn't do anything stupid." Fiona gently wiped the sweat on her forehead with a cloth and said as she watched Dennis on the screen defeat the old lady, then rested in the Bakers' City Embercrest, awaiting the Prince's arrival.

In this world, there was nothing that stressed Fiona more than her own son.

His way of doing things was really stupid at times and way out of the norm. They were so bad that even a dumb person took better paths than him.

It was not that Fiona didn't love her son. She loved him with all her heart and soul, he was her everything… but that didn't mean she would go along with his dumb shenanigans.

Every child had the right to freely soar high in the skies after they got their wings. Fiona let Dennis do whatever he wanted as well.

However, despite having wings, this idiot was choosing a path to crawl.

How was she supposed to stay calm while this happened!?

He was literally wasting his potential!

But thankfully, in this broadcast she was watching, when it came to actual survival, Dennis did not do anything remotely stupid and was being a good boy throughout.

Fiona actually felt proud for her son for once!

The way he delivered those cool lines to the old lady and then defeated her, it made her proud.

But what made her even more proud was the fact that he was actually using his brain this time and not thinking by his muscles.

The fact that he knew he should wait at Embercrest and not leave, this was a really beautiful scene Fiona had seen in a while.

While Fiona fawned over her child's growth, Avelyn had a solemn expression on her face.

Her boy was chained from the start and not given a single chance to fight back. There was literally nothing he could do.

It was not that Ralph lacked brawns or brains, it was just that his opponent was way stronger. It was unfair, but such was the cruelty of the world.

This was the real world and not an academy's mock survival test or a game.

From the broadcast, Avelyn got to know that after a hundred and one days, Ralph would die if he wasn't saved in that meantime.

This worried Avelyn to death.

She was restless and thinking up ways to go save her son.

Fiona had consoled Avelyn quite a lot of times and stated that nothing would happen to him. He was not alone and had the backing of the very Royal Clan itself!

Things should be fine in that regard.

Still, a mother's heart would never be at ease while watching their child be chained and tortured.

Avelyn swore in her heart to destroy this place once her boy was back. There was no going back on it.

In the meantime, Ralph's parrot Sky, he was letting out demonic screeches whenever he saw the chained Ralph on the screen.

For being a nuisance, he had to be put in a soundproof cage. He was given enough food, water, and even a laptop to play online games on.

All of this was taken care of by the Draculas. They had their expert alchemists make a comfortable soundproof cage for Sky.

Apart from them, Duke Reynolds Dracula and Mu Mu were calmly watching the stream.

Duke Reynolds barely had any change on his poker face, but his eyes shined or drooped whenever something happened to Dennis.

When Dennis was taken by the old lady and walked into her trap on his own, his eyes drooped. But after watching her be killed and smartly wait for the Prince in Embercrest, his eyes shined.

He too shared the same emotions as Fiona and was genuinely proud today to see Dennis not do anything stupid.

As for Mu Mu, he criticized every move of Dennis and also asked a lot of questions to Duke Reynolds with his moos.

How in the world did the Draculas understand cow language, that still remained a mystery to everybody.

Meanwhile…

On the Royal Castle's rooftop in Nightingale.

"There are deities, interesting…" Mayzin said softly.

Lucifer's ears perked up. She turned to Mayzin and asked, "You seem to know something about them?"

Mayzin forked a bit of her pastry and said calmly, "I do."

"Tell us." Agalea said and cutely took a small bite of a croissant.

Lilith sipped on some tea and looked at Mayzin as well.

The maids seated on the ledge unprofessionally turned to look at Mayzin too, making her the centre of attention.

"How do I put this? Well… The deities are normal people just like us, with a sole exception." Mayzin answered. "They are way stronger. Strong to the point where we cannot even fathom their cultivation."

Lucifer, the chatterbox, did not comment on things yet. She had matured and could feel that Mayzin had some more things to say, hence kept quiet and stared at her.

Mayzin continued, "Everything about them revolved around their cultivation. They do not possess a life like we do. If something is not connected to their cultivation, they would not bat an eye to it."

Mayzin's words were crisp and concise. She knew the weight and value of her words unlike a certain demon by the round table.

Whatever she wanted to convey was conveyed. She did not impose her own comprehension of things on others, but left them to come to a conclusion on their own, awaiting their opinions and points on this topic.

The area fell silent and after a few minutes who knew what struck Qingyue, but she chimed in and said, "Lady Mayzin, then do you mean to say that those deities are waiting to reap something from that world and watching every move of His Highness and the rest?"

Everyone raised their brows up in surprise, while Lilith had a soft smile form on her face.

She had definitely not chosen random people as the Royal Servants!

"Wow, I really like this Human maid." Lucifer suddenly said.

The level of thought process Qingyue had shown was astonishing, becoming one of the smartest minds Lucifer had come across till date.

Not letting this opportunity slip by, Lucifer turned to Lilith and asked, "Hey, can I have her?"

The rest of the maids covered their faces and said under their breaths, "Oh my…," while Mayzin and Agalea shook their heads with a sigh. Lucifer was about as shameless as one could get.

Shame did not fill stomachs or helped win wars. Lucifer did not care about the opinions of these two bitches beside her.

Lilith, instead of answering Lucifer straight, turned to look at Qingyue. She smiled softly and asked, "Do you want to go?"

"Woah…" Everyone on the rooftop gasped in surprise while Lucifer stared at Qingyue with starry eyes, hoping to charm her.

Her face read: yes, yes, please come to Lady Lucifer, she'll treat you with the best of candies and pamper you till death!

Qingyue had a slight blush form on her face from embarrassment.

This was the first time she became the center of attention on something.

"C'mon, we are waiting for your answer!" Lucifer exclaimed.

Qingyue fidgeted in her place and said, "I-I… well… I…"
