Chapter 577 Everyone Wants To Be Part Of History

Evernight City, Nightingale.

Thud!

Two people hit each other as they walked through the streets of Evernight City.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" The man who fell said to the other person, without even looking at who he was.

The other person, an elegant man in a fine suit wearing a black top hat, extended his hand out and said, 

"My apologies, gentleman."

The guy who had just fallen, hearing that, couldn't help but look at who this person who talked so politely was.

Just as he had a look at the man, his hair stood out on its ends and like a cat that had its tail stepped on, he became startled.

"V-Viscount Maxius!?"

"Oh? You seem to know me, it seems." Viscount Maxius said and moved forwards to hold the guy's hand and have him get up.

"Are you… Viscount Maxius… is this really you!?" The man couldn't believe himself.

The man in suit nodded his head. He then started dusting the guy's clothes and said, "This gentleman, I hope you aren't hurt."

"No! No! I am completely fine! This is nothing." The guy got scared and tried to distance himself from Viscount Maxius.

Viscount Maxius nodded his head and said, "If everything is fine, then I shall take my leave now. I wish you a good day." 

Saying so, Viscount Maxius went his way and in just a few seconds, he disappeared from the guy's sight.

"What the hell…" The guy was left shocked in his place.

He accidentally stumbled upon a well known Viscount noble, who also ended up giving him a hand, apologizing, dusting his clothes, and just… leaving!? 

The guy thought he would be beheaded for committing a crime of hitting the Viscount but who would've known that Viscount Maxius was this polite?

But all things aside, what the guy failed to understand was, why was Viscount Maxius walking!?!?

Viscounts didn't lack money by any means and they also had a lot of power. They wouldn't just walk the streets of the city like commoners, would they?

So why was…

Thud!

Just as the man was thinking of this and lost in his own world, he hit someone and fell on the ground once again.

The man became angry as someone hit him. He turned to look towards the person and said:

"Hey—"

His voice however was cut off as he shut up immediately after looking at who the person in front was.

It was a middle-aged man in a suit wearing a top hat, looking down at the guy from above in a domineering manner.

The guy, as he looked at the man, couldn't help but gulp a mouthful of saliva and asked, 

"C-Count Huang?"

"Walk with alertness." The man didn't answer and left after saying so.

The guy, still sitting on the round, couldn't help but wonder, 't-that… that was Count Huang right? Right!?' 

This little encounter the man had, it not only made the man shocked, but it shook him to the core. So much so that he couldn't think or speak anything for a good while.

The guy, being lost in his own world, sat still in the middle of the street, not moving even slightly.

A few minutes later, a youngster walking past the street, looking at the man sitting in the middle like a beggar, couldn't help but walk towards him.

He shook the man's body and said, "hey uncle, you can't sit here. You have to get moving." 

The guy, being pulled back into the world, looked at the youngster who just called him out and said, "huh?"

The youngster, shaking his head, repeated, "I said uncle, you cannot sit here. There are nobles walking everywhere, you might accidentally end up blocking someone's path."

"What?" The guy was confused. He then said, "No, not what, I mean, why are you calling me uncle!? Do I look old to you?" 

The youngster sighed. "Uncle, I am saying things for your own safety only. Don't sit in the middle of the streets. Do you not know that there are nobles in the city now?"

"..." The guy was dazed and confused. He had no idea what even was happening today but then he did as the youngster asked and got to the side of the street.

He then started conversing with the youngster and asked, "what do you mean nobles in the city?"

The youngster facepalmed." Haw, uncle haven't you seen the news? Do you not know what's happening in Evernight today?"

The man shook his head.

The youngster shook his head with pity. He then decided to explain and said, "A Royal Banquet is being held in Evernight today. Nobles from not just our vampire society, but all over the world are making a visit to our city."

"What!?" The man was shocked. "Such big news and I didn't even know!? When did this happen?" 

"It happened so long ago. How are you not aware?" The youngster said.

"How long?" The man asked.

"Like six hours ago." 

"..."

The man was speechless. He had been involved in hard labour for the past twelve hours and didn't have time to check the news at all!

The youngster, looking at the man going back to being in his own world, said, "Anyway, be careful uncle. I hope you don't end up offending any noble while walking. Bye."

'Heh. Offending nobles huh?' The man thought to himself and smirked.

He left the place as well and continuing to walk on the streets, said softly, "If that kid new I already crossed path with—"

Thud!

'WHAT THE HELL! WHO NOW!?' The man screamed in his mind and looked at the person, this time he didn't yell and decided to see if it was a noble first or not.

But before he could even turn his neck and look at the man, several sharp blades appeared near his neck.

"Don't move." Someone shouted at the man.

The man, feeling the danger, couldn't help but gulp in fear. 'Oh my god… it seems like I have hit another noble… This time I am for sure dying…'

The man's life flashed past his eyes as he thought of this. But right in the next instant, he heard someone saying,

"Put your weapons down, guards. It was an accident. Have him get up." 

Soon, the blades were gone and the man was made to get up.

The man then had a look at who this person that had commanded the guards was, only to see it was a noble with violet hair.

The man couldn't help but knit his brows and say out, "Clan Violet?"

"Oh? He seems to know about us." The noble standing in front said.

"Huh? Oh wait— no, no, I don't. It was a slip of my tongue." The man shook his head repeatedly and said.

The noble youngster in front of him chuckled and said, "You can't hide it now. Anyway, since you're a commoner who also stumbled with me accidentally despite there being so many guards and also know where I am from, you seem like a person who can work for me."

The youngster then looked at the guards and said, "guards, make him a guard and have him join us. We need to go the venue quickly and are short staffed, so he'll be a good addition. Make it quick." 

"What? Wai—" The man's voice was cut off as someone dragged him to the side and changed his appearance in just a matter of seconds.

The man now wore shiny silver armour and was made to walk behind the violet haired youngster.

Just like that, he accidentally became a guard of the hier of Clan Violet and walked the streets of Evernight once again, this time having a proper destination.

Encounters such as these weren't uncommon in the Evernight City today as nobles from all over the world appeared here.

All hotels and inns were full and Evernight didn't have enough places to host everyone so urgently.

So the nobles camped at the periphery of the city and venue but they didn't leave.

Some also tried talking with the commoners and after giving them money, took shelter in their houses.

Why did everyone go to such great lengths? The answer was simple.

They all wanted to be a part of history.

A history that was going to be made today.

For the first time, all Supreme Ranks were invited to a place and to everyone's surprise, they had all accepted the proposal to come.

Many new trade deals, treaties, and whatnot would be signed today here in Evernight itself since all world leaders were coming. Thus, it marked an important day in history.

All of this happened in just a mere six hours and Evernight became so crowded that nobles from the Vampire Continent itself couldn't come to the venue via carriages and bring their entourage with them. They all were helpless and had to walk to the venue. 

The Emperor Rank Duke Clans being no exception to it.

Thus, commoners frequently had encounters with nobles today and since conflict was banned in Evernight, the nobles could didn't bother themselves with the commoners much.

The whole world was moving towards Evernight, the capital of Nightingale and the entire Vampire Continent itself.

Today marked a big day as the Royal Banquet was about to begin.
