Chapter 69 Supreme Ranks Meet (2)

“Hey, Bitch. Shouldn’t you say Hi to me when you come over?”

Arbour felt very tense. He almost had the feeling that Doomsday could arrive any time now. He felt more stiff and tense than before. He looked at Lucifer and thought ‘Lady, if you want to die, why involve the others?’

It was not only him but few others too felt the same. The ones at the round table didn’t feel anything nor did they showed any reaction.

Lucifer didn’t notice his gaze and only looked at Lilith with a smile.

Lilith looked at Lucifer and smiled. She said

“Hi, Lucifer.”

She then looked at Mayzin and Agalea and said with a smile

“Hi, Mayzin. Hi, Agalea.”

“Hello, Lilith.” Mayzin said in her melodious voice.

“Hello, sis. What took you so long?” Agalea said in her sweet voice.

Mayzin, Agalea and Lucifer, although looked upto Lilith as a big sister type of figure and even considered her as their sister, didn’t call her as such and only showed their feelings via emotions and actions. Agalea was an exception. She would from time to time call Lilith sis or by her name when she felt like it or even randomly.

Arbour relaxed a little but then tensed up again. He thought ‘what the fuck? How could someone be so casual in front of such a monster? Do they not feel her aura?’

The other people on the round table looked at Lilith and said with a formal smile

“Greetings, Vampire Queen.”

Nobody dared to take her name directly and they didn’t let the fact that three people on this very table had called her ‘Bitch’, ‘Lilith’ or ‘sis’ get into their head and make them stupid. They, like always, greeted her with her title formally. They also knew that the Vampire Queen only attended these meetings because her friends do it and she didn’t care one bit about them.

Alex looked at Lilith and said with a smile

“Greetings, Lilith.”

He was an acquaintance of Lilith and so he acted like one. This had been going on for ages.

The other people sitting in the room except for the ones on the round table, stood up and slightly bowed and said

“Greetings, Your Excellency.”

Arbour too stood up looking at these people greeting the person at the head seat like that. He too greeted Lilith in fear.

This type of respect was only given to Lilith and as for the others, they were called with senior as prefix along with their first name. For example ‘Senior Alex’ or ‘Senior Florencia’ etc.

“Greetings.”

Lilith looked around, nodded and said. She didn’t bother to greet anyone individually. As for Alex, he greeted her at the same time when everyone else was doing and so it was his own fault that he got such a response.

Nobody felt offended at such a response from her. They were used to it. Except for Arbour. He was new and this was his first time. He was very shocked by looking at the Vampire Queen’s indifference. She didn’t even bother to smile let alone greet people with their names or titles. She didn’t even look at his boss whom he considered atleast a little powerful. Now he was having second thoughts on wether his boss was powerful or did he just win against him on whim because of the help of Heavenly Emperor and Elven Queen.

Anyway, he had no choice but to bow down. It was his own fault for being arrogant and causing a ruckus for no reason and now getting into such a situation. Beggars cannot be choosers and he had to follow Darren now. Though it was like this, he swore in his mind that he would not offend the Vampire Queen even in his wildest dreams. He had heard of the story of a newcomer assaulting her and his fate. And the way people treated her right now and the way she herself treated everyone, confirmed everything for him.

Darren Whitter was oblivious to these thoughts of his subordinate Arbour Linn. He only gave the Vampire Queen a meaningful look while greeting her, which covered many of his thoughts and then continued minding his own business.

Lilith then looked at Agalea and said with a smile

“I wasn’t even planning to come. My son insisted on making me attend this meeting. Anyway, I flew all the way here. The Belial Ocean was as amazing as before. You should take a look sometimes.”

“Oh, I see. So when did you leave from the Castle?” Agalea asked in an interested look.

“About 5 minutes ago.” Lilith said with a smile.

“Oh, Interesting. You were able to enjoy the view in 5 minutes?” Agalea asked in her sweet voice again.

‘WHAT??!!! LADY YOU ARE ASKING THE WRONG QUESTION WHAT THE FUCK!’ Arbour yelled in his mind. He couldn’t even believe that Lilith flew all the way here from the Vampire Continent in 5 minutes.

It took atleast half a day if a Supreme rank travelled in full speed from the one continent to the Neutral continent. There were very massive and big oceans seperating the Neutral Continent on all four sides and it was a very atrocious deed.

Arbour knew that the Neutral Continent was literally in between the other 8 continents and it was surrounded by 4 oceans. The Belial in the north, Ganzam in south, Treant in west and Miran in East were the four oceans on the four sides of the Neutral Continent that one needed to cross if they were to have plans to fly over from their continent. The Oceans were super massive. Each ocean was even bigger than a whole continent. The world had not even discovered 1% of the whole Ocean areas and only the outer edges near the continents were explored.

Even a Supreme rank needed atleast half a day and this lady here had done it in 5 mins. 5 bloody minutes to cross the whole of Belial Ocean! This was a very shocking thing that Arbour had heard and learned of today. Also, judging from the tone and the way the people were speaking, he fully believed that whatever the silver haired lady said, is for sure true. He once again became even more determined with his plans.

“Yes. It was nice. I found an ancient ruins of a Mermen clan. You can go explore if you want. The coordinates are…” Lilith said with a smile. She even shared the coordinates as if it were no big deal to her.

The ones sitting in the room were no stupid people. The understood what the Vampire Queen meant when she shared the coordinates. ‘You can go explore it if you want, share me some loot and as for the rest, I do not care.’ is what everyone thought that the Vampire Queen’s actions meant.

They obviously would share the loot with the Vampire Queen for providing coordinates later if they found any and would not cheat her. The fear to not cheat was obvious.

Lilith on the other hand, didn’t pry into the thoughts of other people. She simply shared the coordinates because it was a trivial thing to her. The people in the room clearly misunderstood Lilith but even if Lilith knew about it, she wouldn’t care.

“Thankyou. I’ll ask some people to explore and share the loot with you.” Agalea said in a happy tone.

“Do as you please.” Lilith said with a smile. She didn’t bother to say no to her as she knew Agalea’s nature. She wouldn’t budge even if she said no, so why waste her breath onto it? Lilith thought and said so.

“Hey, you said you wouldn’t come if your son didn’t push you to come here. What was the reason for not attending?” Lucifer asked in her cheerful tone.

“He’s attending the Abalax entrance test next week. I want to see it and be there for him. So, I obviously didn’t want to come.” Lilith said with a smile in a gentle tone.

Everyone present in the room made a mental note on whatever Lilith said. They had gotten fresh news that the Vampire Queen’s son would be attending the Academy test and it was a pretty big news. They were also a little surprised and shocked thinking why would the Vampire Queen let out such news?

Nevertheless, they made a note that, this news should be spread and people should be on a look out for it. Nobody should offend the Vampire Queen’s son and bring calamity in their whole race. They therefore, had to spread the news!

The handsome man with blonde hair done in a fade cut and blue eyes and a lean build, Alex, looked at Lilith with a confused look. He didn’t understand why would Lilith say this in front of everyone. People in the room might be afraid of her but some people for sure would be stupid enough to do try weird things. He then quickly brushed those thoughts aside. It had nothing to do with him and he shouldn’t poke his nose into gossips of ladies.

“Ooooh! Right, right! He’s at that age now! I even forgot I had a nephew for a while. It’s your fault, you bitch! You banned me! If you didn’t I wouldn’t have forgotten, hmph!” Lucifer had a wave of emotions when she said it.

Mayzin, Agalea and Lilith chuckled at Lucifer’s words. Lucifer was clearly Lucifer, no matter the time or place. They even felt a bit of pity for Adriel, her assistant, who acted like a middleman between her and the 7 Demon Kings. She had to run so many errands everyday due to Lucifer being a lazy bum.

Lucifer then looked at her side and said to Alex

“Hey old man, make an artifact right now. Something that’ll help my Nephew. Making something related to Light. He shouldn’t have Light as his weakness just because he is a Vampire. C’mon, do it.”

Alex shook his head helplessly and so did Agalea, Mayzin and Lilith. This was clearly Lucifer’s nature. She was too lazy to create an artifact herself as it would take quite a bit of effort from her and in the end resorting to asking her grandfather to do it for her. This was a common occurrence.

Alex didn’t mind his granddaughter’s request and complied with it. He took out a small cross which had a small chain to it, indicating that it could be used as an earring. He started inscribing magic circles onto it and used a bit of his spiritual power. He made it as good as possible and usable for a rank 1. He couldn’t make too high level artifact as the boy wouldn’t be able to use it, he thought and made a nice artifact.

After a few minutes of work, he was done. A white and dazzling cross was in his palms now. He gave it to Lilith and said in his gentle and benevolent tone, with a smile

“This must be worn as an earring. It is a light artifact. Any Light elemental attacks would be useless upto rank 6. This would also help him in casting Light spells twice as fast as before and would only use half of his spiritual power. May the Light be with him and you.”

“Thankyou, Alex.” Lilith said with a smile.

“Hey, hey, Thank me! Not him! I am the one who asked to him to make this. I am a great aunt. You should tell my Nephew this!” Lucifer said hurriedly.

Lilith chuckled and didn’t say anything.

Arbour was very shocked. A Supreme rank made such an artifact just like this? On top of that, another Supreme rank ordered a Supreme rank, more correctly, the Emperor of all Angel Kings, Alex Paladin to make an artifact for someone else and even disrespected by calling him old man. He didn’t look old from any angle! What is with this group of people!

Arbour cursed in his mind. He couldn’t even guess the relationship between the pretty black haired lady with red horns and the handsome fade cut blonde hair man with blue eyes. They didn’t even have any similarity, not to mention the way they talked was completely opposite. One was very calm and his voice made Arbour relaxed and the other was just very playful and free. Arbour had a headache to even guess what their relationship was. He shoved those thoughts aside and didn’t want to dwell on it.

Arbour just hoped to not get any more surprises or shocks.

The atmosphere in the room gradually became relax as the people in the room forced themselves to relax. They would be okay as long as they didn’t bother the Vampire Queen.

Soon, some people started talking among themselves and Mayzin, Agalea, Lilith and Lucifer too talked.

Alex would time to time join in on the conversation with Lilith if Lucifer asked for his opinion or would more or less talk with Dagassi, the Time Dragon or with the other people.

Florencia had made some notes today. She would leave as soon as the day before the entrance test and warn every Witch to not take on requests regarding the Vampire Queen’s son and offend her. She had seen the demise of not one, not two but four Supreme ranks in the hands of Lilith! Killing Supreme ranks was as easy as cutting grass for Lilith. She didn’t want to offend Lilith at any cost or she knew that getting her whole race wiped out would be a sure shot thing.

Lilith had killed the Vampire King because he tried to forcefully marry her, killed two guys after collecting their seeds and one guy in the meeting room for trying to assault her. Florencia knew these much better than anyone. She had both, deep respect and fear for Lilith. The strong respected the strong and it was true in her case.

Though the Witches were a neutral faction, she would choose Lilith’s side if need arises in the future without thinking twice. As for now, everything was okay and she didn’t think too much about it. She only had one thought right now. It was to warn the other Witches as soon as possible.
