Chapter 557 The Reason Luna Ls Lith’s Maid
Court room, Royal Castle.
Across a tall and wide room, there lay a mighty throne of the sole ruler of all vampires.
Officially recognised as the strongest Supreme Rank and unofficially the one above all.
It was the throne of the Vampire Queen, Lilith Evure.
Lilith, for the first time after a long while, was back to sitting on her throne and doing administrative work.
Although she was helping Lucy and indirectly doing work as a Queen, this was the direct and official way now.
News of the Queen being back in the court had spread far in the Vampire Continent and although information related to what work was being done in the court was cla.s.sified, the vampires were still antic.i.p.ating the changes that may happen in the continent.
They all guessed that it wouldn"t be without reason that the Queen was back to work.
Lilith was indeed back for a reason and that was:
"New hierarchy." Lilith leaned forwards and said two words to the servants kneeling down in front of her.
Listening to the Queen"s voice made the servants tremble in excitement. After such a long time, their G.o.ddess had made an appearance and was going to talk to them as well as give them work.
Although they did hear Lilith"s voice during the marriage and also had gotten many instructions, it didn"t have the same feel as it had right now.
Lilith wasn"t on her throne, acting like the Queen she was, and her tone also was very gentle.
It may sound weird but the servants wanted to be ordered around and spoken to as if they were mere peasants. They wanted their Madam to be overbearing and show them their place.
Ever since the Princess and the Prince was born, their Madam had gone really soft and had become gentle. She had never once commanded them to do anything.
All of Lilith"s work was handled properly by her personal maid Luna, and she didn"t even have the need to order people to do their work.
It wasn"t just the vampire society that was self-reliant, the servants were the same.
Even without the Queen"s order, they could keep things running.
But… no matter what. They wished everyday that their Madam would take the throne back and order them and use them. They felt as if their life had no purpose without the orders of Lilith.
Lith, sitting at the sides of the court, exactly diagonal to his mother, was amused by the reactions the servants just gave.
"They sure seem excited." He thought to himself.
He was acting as an observer and was here to learn things. He didn"t say or do anything other than watch the servants and his mother.
Lilith continued after saying the two words, "Make arrangements for a Royal Banquet. The venue won"t be the castle, I don"t want outsiders in my home. Make the venue be somewhere in Nightingale and invite all n.o.bles."
Lilith then looked at her side and said softly to the maid standing beside her, "Qingyue, give Hecate a call and make her wait in the courtyard. I"ll meet her soon."
Qingyue, Lilith"s personal maid, took a step forward and bowed. "As Madam wishes. Anything else that Madam wants to get done?"
"No. But get back here as soon as you"re done with it."
Qingyue nodded her head and left shortly after.
Had it been the time before marriage, it would"ve been Luna in place of Qingyue as she was Lilith"s personal maid.
But Luna was now a.s.signed to Lith and she was currently standing right behind him.
Lilith got herself a new maid and her name was Luo Qingyue. She was handpicked by Lilith from the Human Continent and there was a sad backstory regarding Qingyue.
However, she was now in a better place, a place where people couldn"t even dream of being in. Right in the refuge of the G.o.ddess herself.
She was serving the only Legendary Rank being in the whole world, what better could be than that?
Any maid could be a.s.signed to Lith as everyone was well trained and could do anything Lith would ask them to. If he wanted the head of a Supreme Rank, he could even get that by simply asking the servants.
But Lilith a.s.signed Luna to him for many reasons. The first one being that Luna had been with Lilith for a long time and knew everything Lilith needed without even asking. She could thus be of good help to Lith.
Another major reason was that Luna was an Emperor Rank and also the head maid. Her being under Lith meant all the other servants were under him too.
Everyone loved Lith and were close to him. Lith too shared the same feelings and Lilith knew he had deep respect and grat.i.tude for all the servants.
The two parties cared for each other so much that Lilith knew her son would have trouble asking the servants anything. She had seen him always be polite to them.
He says thank you and other polite stuff even for the smallest of things!
Although it wasn"t a bad thing, Lilith knew Lith would definitely have trouble in future for asking anything to the servants and so Luna was there for him. Being so close to Lith, she would know what he wanted and could make the other servants act on it.
Lith"s att.i.tude was gentle and warm to the ones close to him and cold and reserved with everyone else. Lilith was well aware of it and did what a good mother would do.
In any case, after Qingyue was gone, Lilith looked back at the servants who were kneeling and had their heads bowed.
The vampire court wasn"t a typical court. There were no ministers or people suggesting things to their ruler. Instead, the people in the court were simply on standby and did as they were told to do.
The words of the Queen were absolute and the people in the court wouldn"t refute, suggest, add, or say anything regarding it. They would simply do as they had been asked to do.
Such an administrative method had its pros and cons and wasn"t the best for everyone.
But since it was Lilith as the one giving commands, such type of administration was the best type for everyone. Why was it so? Well of course being Lilith was an omniscient being.
? Lilith, looking at the servants below, asked, "What is the current situation of the society? How are they faring off?"
The servants, hearing that question, were surprised once again as it had been almost ten thousand years since their Madam last asked about the welfare of the Vampire society.
They thought that she didn"t care about them anymore, but they sure were wrong.
They internally made an apology to their Madam for thinking in such a way.
Out of the 197 servants kneeling down, many wondered who would be the one to answer their Madam. It wouldn"t be a problem if Lilith picked up anyone randomly and asked this question as everyone knew the answer to it.
But the problem was, Lilith didn"t do it and the servants wondered who should speak.
But when in doubt, for such a situation, the servants still had a way out.
They all slightly turned their head to look towards the one and only calm and composed guy among them. One who would definitely be the best person to answer the Queen.
This person…
Who else could it be but the Seraphim Noman?
Ruben, Arbour, Kyonumarru, Lark, everyone was looking at him.
Noman, who was hoping that at least this time these people gathered some courage and stood up to address the Queen"s question, was disappointed in them as they once again looked for him.
But keeping his disappointment aside, he stood up, bowed once again and said calmly to the Queen,
"There have been minor crimes in the lower society, but the higher ones are still self-reliant like before and are managing things properly."
"However..."
Noman"s eyes became serious as he said that word. He looked Lilith straight in the eyes and said with a cold glint in his eyes:
"It seems there are some groups that are starting to underestimate Madam"s power. They have been slandering and putting up derogatory remarks."
Gasp!
The servants all gasped as they heard that.
Something like that was happening and they didn"t even know!? How!?
And who in the world had the audacity to do that??
Did the people forget that the Royal Servants exist and can wipe them out with just a mere click of their finger?
How dare they say anything about their Madam!
Not just Noman, the servants who were bowing all had serious faces and were excluding murderous and threatening aura from their bodies.
Lith, looking at Noman and then at the servants, was genuinely surprised to see this.
He wanted to ask Luna more about this and turned to look back, only to see that Luna"s face was really cold and she too, like everyone else, was radiating a murderous aura.
Looking at her, Lith thought to himself,
"d.a.m.n.."
