Vampire's Slice Of Life-Chapter 912 Arbour’s Existential Crisis

When finished reading, Alex looked at Lucifer and had visible surprise in his eyes.

Lucifer, looking at his fresh haircut, which resembled like a manhwa character, tried her best to control her laugh.

All of her grandfather's long blonde hair was gone, which was now replaced with an undercut, followed by messy yet voluminous blonde hair on top.

If previously he looked like a majestic man, he now appeared like a man straight out of comics, which wasn't bad by any means, but too out of character for Alex, making it a funny occurrence for Lucifer.

Alex was too occupied with the scroll and its contents. Appearance was the least of his concerns at the moment.

There were so many questions in his mind, but after having a look at his granddaughter's smiling face, all his questions seemed to have disappeared.

Taking a deep breath, Alex said in a gentle voice, "Please give my heartfelt and deepest gratitude to the Vampire Queen, my dear."

Lucifer's laughter subdued when Alex said that. Getting slightly serious, she asked, "You don't have any questions regarding this? Are you not wondering why there's suddenly an ascension plan given to you and me and as such?"

Alex shook his head. Taking a sip of tea, he explained calmly, "My dear, this is just the blueprint. Whether or not you want to follow or believe in it, it's up to you. I'm sure either of those choices does not affect the Vampire Queen, and the only reason she's given out such precious details is solely out of goodwill."

Her grandfather's formal speech somewhat annoyed Lucifer, but his words made sense.

What Lilith did was show them a path. Whether or not they wanted to walk on it depended on themselves.

This discussion Lucifer was having with her grandfather, it was not because she was confused or didn't trust Lilith's words, it was because she wanted Alex to know of things.

At the end of the day, Alex was her grandfather, and this old man deserved to know a few things about his granddaughter's life.

Before handing her grandfather his own scroll, Lucifer first shared hers with him. This was to let him know what she would be doing from here on and also to get suggestions or advice, in case he had any for her.

Having heard his response now, Lucifer finished her tea and said, "Understandable. I'll convey your message."

She then got up and yawning, said, "I have to work hard again. What a pain."

Alex flashed a small smile and waving at Lucifer, said, "Grandpa will be cheering for you. Work hard, my dear."

"Right. Right. I wish you the best too. Now bye." Lucifer said and left the place by flying away.

Alex smiled and stared at her disappearing figure with a gentle gaze.

His little girl didn't even give him a hug before leaving, but it was alright. He still loved her and wished her nothing but the best.

Alex hoped that his granddaughter achieved even greater heights and prayed for her well being.

After Lucifer was gone from the vicinity, Alex got up and said softly, "It seems even grandpa needs to work hard now."

Saying so, Alex snapped his fingers and was back in the Heavenly Court.

He immediately called for a meeting and one by one, all the Angel Kings reappeared in the court.

Everyone walked in with their heads bowed and kneeled down in front of Alex.

Once everyone was here, they greeted Alex in unison and then lifted their heads up, as per his instructions.

Right as everyone got a look at him, a dumbfounded look surfaced on their faces.

'A new hairstyle again!?!— Wait, that actually looks cool…'

Admiration took over the Angel Kings' faces and this didn't go unnoticed by Alex.

Looking at them, he wondered, 'Hm? Why the admiration?'

Thinking it may just be because they thought he defeated the Demon Queen or something, Alex dismissed their expressions.

"Take your seats. I have a few important things to talk about."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Angel Kings exclaimed and got back to their place.

Leaning forwards on his sword's handle, Alex said calmly, "The tides are soon going to change. You may have experienced a rise in elemental energies and it wasn't out of thin air. In the next few years, what's going to happen is…"

With that, the Heavenly Emperor got busy talking about the future of the Heavenly Court, the Angel Continent, and the Angels as a whole.

…..

A decade passed.

Slowly and steadily, the world moved.

As it had been stated time and again, the beings of this world perceived the passage of time differently as compared to their mortal counterparts.

A decade was merely lunch time for most and that is exactly what everyone had perceived it to be.

There was no major news in the world, everything was running smoothly without a hitch.

The administration of the Neutral Continent was changed to Witches from Vampires as per the cycle, resulting in the Vampire officials withdrawing.

The Supreme Rank Arbour Linn was back in the Royal Castle, serving the interests of the Royal Clan.

However, much to his surprise, things had changed quite a lot back in the clan.

There was a freaking toddler with an aura stronger than a Supreme Rank in the clan!

How was this possible? Arbour could not find out.

Next, there were rumours that the Prince had multiple Supreme Rank maids at his bay and this was pretty much nothing.

How this ended up happening was also something Arbour did not know.

An existential crisis took over Arbour, making him wonder… Was he even needed?

It had been many years since he had been brought to this clan. He was fully assimilated in this place and considered it as his home.

However, not once could Arbour find himself useful to the clan and felt like he was just leeching off and slacking.

In a normal scenario, this would've been really good since it meant no work, but in this case, it was hurting his pride. He really wanted to do some work!

A Supreme Rank like him could not be deemed so lowly! Surely there could be some work for him, right?

With these things in mind, Arbour went on a search for work while the rest of the maidservants did their own things.

The other worldly toddler, who Lith liked to call Chonky, was actually called Vargaros.

He had a meeting with the other Royal Servants after being called in this world and this was where things became really serious.

Vargaros ended up finding a fish even bigger than him in this place. There was a person among the Royal Servants, a lady with red hair, who reeked of a really dangerous aura.

Although Vargaros could feel the prowess of this lady was still not high, the aura she was emitting constantly clearly portrayed that she belonged to some higher power, or was actually a higher entity herself.

If it was the latter, then she was definitely suppressing herself to blend in, which was really bad news.

The green-haired chubby kid, Chonky, or more correctly Vargaros, felt a threat from this red-haired lady and was on high alert.

Vargaros had come this far and it was all for Lith. He did not know what was his connection with Lith, but he felt that he definitely should be following him.

Now, since Lith seemed to be surrounded by such scary beings, Vargaros felt it was his duty to protect Lith from such hidden experts. Maybe it was due to this that destiny had placed them together.

Hence, in the past few years, the Royal Castle's outer ring saw a chubby toddler working his ass off, doing various exercises, and training for what people thought was stealing candies.

The candy part was not something that came out of nowhere. Vargaros indeed stole a lot of candies in the Royal Castle and even after being reprimanded many times by the higher ups, he still found some or the other way to do the stealing.

Since Vargaros liked candies so much and was training really hard to steal them, the Royal Servants took it upon themselves to train him further.

Thus, each day in the outer ring, a candy would be hidden, and each day, it would be grabbed by a chubby hand and stolen.

While this process repeated itself, the new maids, the girls from Dushkarbor, were shifted into the inner ring of the castle for obvious reasons.

Their sex drive was high and they preferred wearing highly revealing clothing because in their home world, they would practically wear nothing and still be fine.

These girls thus had to be kept away from the eyes of men and there was no better place than the inner ring.

The Dushkarbor girls were quite happy with their new place and their days would be spent training and working as maids.

They all could feel that they were surrounded by powerful experts and since Lith was treating them as maids back in Dushkarbor, the role of a maid came as a natural job to the four and their daily lives continued on fairly normally.

While everything seemed to be peaceful and in harmony, there were a few who did not find any peace whatsoever.

One of them was a beautiful looking petite butler in the inner ring of the castle, currently seated in a courtyard and looking at a tablet screen with a big frown.

"Why did it lead to such developments…"
