Vampire's Slice Of Life - Chapter 363

Chapter 363 Final Event

Chapter 363 Final event

A lot of ceremonies happened after the ‘identifying your bride’ ceremony ended. They were all very fun to watch as well as participate in it.

After almost a month of doing one ceremony after another, the marriage was finally coming to an end. But there was still one ceremony left before the marriage went into its final stage.

For this ceremony, the venue was the arena present in the Queen’s district*. They needed a big location to conduct this ceremony as things were definitely bound to go wild.

There were two arenas in the Queen’s district, both were 10,000 km2 each in area. For this event, both arenas were joined together and this was something that hasn’t happened in many years.

The arena became 20,000 km2 in area and was made to be oval in shape, perfect for the ceremony that was about to take place. There were a lot of speakers present everywhere in the arena so that the music was audible well to everyone present.

In the air and around the people participating in this event, there were a lot of small and chubby birds flying while holding a small camera in their hands. These birds were cute and non violent in nature and they were raised by the Royal Servants to act as camera personnels whenever there was need.

The birds were covered in white fur and literally appeared from afar as if they were cotton flying around in the air.

Apart from these things, there were two long rows of chairs present.facing opposite to each other and everyone attending the wedding was standing in front of one chair.

There were a total of 200 people and the chairs were just 198.

Judging the scene that was happening in the arena, it was obvious that the event that was about to be held was going to be Musical Chairs.

Musical Chairs is an elimination game where players fight for a seat among each other. The one who would be able to sit on the last chair would be the winner of this game.

The rules were simple for this game. The players were supposed to keep moving in a clockwise direction around the chairs and they cannot change the direction of their flow.

The music would soon stop and at this time, the players were supposed to sit on their nearest chair. The one who isn’t able to sit on one would get eliminated and the number of chairs removed would depend on the number of participants eliminated.

Using magic was allowed, so was using their own prowess. However, to make it a fair game, everyone was given a wristband. This wristband was created by Lilith just a few minutes prior to this ceremony. It restricted everyone’s prowess to Rank 9 and thus, it became an even playing field.

Lith was the one with the lowest magic rank and people had to adjust to that.

After explaining the rules and everything to everyone, the host, a Royal Servant, said cheerfully:

“The rules have been explained. The talks have been done. Without further ado, let’s begin with the ceremony!”

“MUSIC!”

Just as the host finished his lines, loud pop music blasted off of the speakers present in the arena and everyone began walking in clockwise direction.

Lith, who was walking at a moderate pace just like everyone else, thought to himself, ‘I thought they’ll use some magic stuff and rush. But it seems everyone has a brain. Taking things slow is indeed the right approach.’

In front of Lith was Lilith who was also walking in a leisurely pace and in front of her was Lucy. Behind Lith was Emilia, following her was Sel, then there was Alexandra and at the last was Arya.

Behind Arya was Rain, following who was the light blue haired priest, Noman, then there was Ruben, the demon servant and also one of the four Emperor Ranks.

Behind Ruben was Arbour, the Supreme Rank who recently joined the Royal Servants and following him were the rest of the maids and butlers.

Almost everyone was participating in this ceremony and they were also very enthusiastic about it. Everyone except…

Arbour.

Arbour was in shock this whole time and he had no idea whether to laugh, cry, or curse his fate. He was truly unlucky yet lucky at the same time.

Unlucky because he would have to serve the queen forever and lucky because the person he would serve wasn’t anyone weak but many times stronger than his own self.

Not to mention her, just looking at the monster she created walking behind her was enough of a proof to let Arbour know that things weren’t going to end anytime soon.

What skills would you need to have to end up scoring an Emperor Rank and also a Supreme Rank? Not to mention that, from what he heard from the other servants, Lith broke through eight realms in just eight years of his ascension. What monstrosity was this!?

Nobody has ever heard or seen such fast cultivation and he probably was one of his kind. All these things, it made Arbour arrive at a conclusion that Lith was definitely going to be someone on the level of the Vampire Queen, or maybe even stronger than her.

But that’s where his bad luck lies. If Lith becomes as powerful as Lilith, there was no hope for him to leave. But then again, it’s not like he could stop Lith even if he wanted. There was no way he would mess with anything related to Lilith. Even if he was just a servant now, he cherished his life.

But on another note, being a butler and serving the Royal Clan wasn’t as bad as he thought either. He had acess to a lot of things like cultivation techniques, resources, and what not. Though Lilith made him a subordinate, she didn’t treat him like a slave.

Lilith gave Arbour resources on the basis of his work. If he worked hard, he got better resources and that’s what was happening with Arbour.

Add onto him meeting the other Royal Servants. He learned a lot from them despite being a Supreme Rank and understood that had he not been a Supreme Rank, he wouldn’t even have the ability to look upto these servants. They were the best of the best in the entire world.

Life was not as bad as Arbour thought and there were some problems but?

“Kzzzrk…”

Just as Arbour was having an internal monologue with himself, the music stopped and interrupted his thoughts.

Arbour was snapped back to reality and he realized that he was away from any of the chairs present. ‘Oh shit! I need to hurry! I can’t get eliminated like this!’

Arbour’s reputation would go down the drain if he ends up losing right in the first round itself. He was a Supreme Rank, his reputation would take too big of a bit and he wouldn’t be able to show his face to anyone if he lost right now.

Arbour immediately used his spiritual power and boosted himself to speed up.

He ended up running past a maid and sat on a chair before she could, thereby saving his image.

‘Phew. I need to focus on the ceremony.’ Arbour thought to himself. He couldn’t just get his image sullied, could he? He had to persist till the end!

Lith and his ladies and the secretaries of his ladies as well didn’t get eliminated within the first round. There were a lot of seats for them to grab and the competition wasn’t high yet.

The first round ended with two people getting eliminated and so, two chairs were removed and the total number of people playing were 198 and chairs were just 196.

The music started playing again, marking the commencement of the new round.

Everyone got up from their chairs and like betore, walked in a moderate pace.

The music stopped after awhile and this time as well, nothing too serious was seen and two got eliminated.

This continued for a while untill there were just 60 people and 58 chairs left.

The competition was now starting to heat up. Interestingly enough, Lith’s group and the people behind his group, Noman, Ruben, and Arbour, these three weren’t eliminated either yet.

Lith had a good look at all the participants participating and thought to himself, ‘Interesting. I can’t figure out who might end up winning. Perhaps mom? Arya? It’s difficult.’

Lith then pushed these thoughts aside and focused on the game. Whatever the case, he wasn’t going to lose before his ladies!

He readied himself for the coming round and a few seconds later, the music started playing again.

‘Here we go.’

Bzzzz!

This time, nobody was walking in a moderate pace and everyone was hurrying. They used their prowess and ensured that they always stayed in front of a chair at all instants.

Everyone roamed clockwise for a while and a few seconds later, the music stopped and…

BOOM!

…..
