Chapter 590 Shocking The World

"...must be a Supreme Rank."

Gasp!

Everyone, including Vampires, Dragons, Humans, and authorities from around the world, let out a loud gasp of surprise.

Even those watching the livestream sucked in a cold breath of air as they heard the declaration and looked at Lucy with utter disbelief.

They had never expected such a condition, not even in their wildest dreams!

Lucy had basically declared that anyone who attained the Supreme Rank in the Vampire Society would become a Grand Duke. Indirectly, it meant that no Vampire stood a chance of becoming the new King or Queen as long as Lilith was around.

Lucy's words were bold, and everyone in the world only had one question in their mind:

'Are the Vampire Royalties serious?'

Except for the vampires, the world was watching this drama unfold with great interest. Everyone could feel the heat in the City Hall's ballroom and they could only wonder what would happen next over there.

As for the vampires in the City Hall, they were sweating buckets. They didn't know how to really react to such news.

If by any chance they didn't happily celebrate, it would seem as if they were against the verdict the Queen just gave them. But if they did celebrate, in case of someone in the future becoming a Supreme Rank from among them, they would end up offending them and risking their lives.

They were seriously troubled right now and didn't know what to do.

Looking at the condition of the people in front, Lucy smiled. She had already anticipated their reactions.

She didn't speak for a while and let the tension build up on purpose.

Though the tension was high, it was only among the parties that weren't a concern.

The concerned parties, the ones who stood a chance to become a Supreme Rank, were the current Dukes.

They were all Emperor Ranks and had the potential to become Supreme Ranks as well. It was just a matter of time.

The Dukes were calm despite hearing the verdict. Judging from Lucy's posture and body language, they could tell she hadn't finished speaking yet.

Still, even they didn't have an idea that such a declaration would be made today.

They had met Lucy before when she was on a tour of the Vampire Continent, but there were no talks regarding such a thing, and it took them by surprise.

They also understood the meaning behind Lucy's words, just like everyone else, and knew the risk behind them.

If the Duke Clans made any wrong move right now, it was sure that they wouldn't live to see the next day.

Thus, every moment they lived was stressful, and they needed to figure out where their future lay.

Despite the stress and tense situation, the Dukes were calm. They had faith in their Queen. Although they didn't have many dealings with her in the past, they did know Lucy. They could tell that she was a good person.

The tension in the room was at an all-time high currently. Lucy expected this as she purposely let out the news in such a manner.

Looking at everyone, Lucy continued,

"No Vampire's ascension to Supreme Rank would be stopped. When undergoing ascension, the Royal Clan will ensure your safety as well. But once ascended, there will be two choices."

Lucy took a pause after saying so.

The people were dumbfounded once again as they heard that. The Dukes were taken aback as well. Yet, nobody could figure out what Lucy actually had on her mind and how things would proceed.

People were questioning whether the Vampire Queen was stupid to protect people's ascension or just fearless and confident that she wouldn't be beaten by the newly ascended Supreme Ranks.

Lucy showed her index finger to the people, gesturing the number one.

"Choice number one: Accept the new rank and continue to serve the Queen. Or…"

Lucy showed two fingers and continued, "Choice number two: Challenge the authority of the Queen."

Silence befell the place as Lucy said that.

People were genuinely speechless at this moment, and nobody had any idea what to say, think, or even understand from the statements the Vampire Queen was saying.

Lucy ignored their reactions this time and continued, "If you pick the second choice, there is only one way to challenge the Queen's authority…."

Lucy's eyes shone with a tinge of red. She leaned forwards and, while doing so, ensured to let out her Legendary bloodline's aura.

A heavy pressure descended down on the vampires in the room, and the ones below Half Emperor Rank felt highly suffocated.

The Half Emperor Ranks were barely able to breathe and stand on their feet, while the Emperor Ranks felt great discomfort as well from Lucy's aura.

Putting pressure on everyone, Lucy continued,

"...that being, a death match."

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Many Vampire Nobles who couldn't handle the pressure plopped down on the ground as Lucy said that, making the other authorities in the room let out a surprised shout.

People were witnessing the Vampire Queen's powers for the first time. None of them doubted that the person sitting on the throne in front of them might be Reagent Queen, not the real Queen.

Nobody else could tell the difference except for a few noble vampires who had attended the previous banquet.

The ones who did know about it didn't raise this issue as well, knowing that last time, the Vampire Queen did say that she was putting her daughter on the throne.

Thus, they considered her the new Vampire Queen and didn't feel anything wrong with it.

But the pressure Lucy exuded made the higher vampire nobles wonder what their state would be if they were actually in front of Lilith.

The vampires were sweating buckets once again, feeling the heat. They could tell that if just the Reagent Queen could put so much pressure on them, there was no way in hell that they would ever stand a chance against the Supreme Rank Vampire Queen even though they would become Supreme themselves.

Lucy, achieving her goals, got up from her throne. Looking at everyone, she said calmly,

"That's all for today. You may now begin with the festivities."

Saying so, Lucy slowly walked down the stairs. As she walked away from the throne, she slowly retracted her aura, so she didn't accidentally kill the vampires below Half Emperor Rank.

Everyone watched Lucy walk away with agape mouths. They really hadn't expected such a show today, and it was definitely a memorable day in everyone's lives.

The Vampire Queen just arrived, made changes, guaranteed the ascension of her people to the highest possible cultivation rank in the world, and also gave them a way to become the new King/Queen.

This went on to show how what they were thinking about her being stupid was utterly false and that they were in fact, foolish to underestimate her.

Lucy's statements made her appear bold, fearless, and even an overbearing ruler. In the truest essence, she perfectly fit the description of the Vampire Queen that people had in their minds.

The forums on the internet went haywire and everything was in chaos now that the center of attention, aka the Vampire Queen, was gone from the live stream.

But while that was the general public's reaction, the statements Lucy handed out weren't pulled out of thin air.

She had meticulously planned and prepared everything and was always careful with her words.

In her speech, she mentioned that the newly ascended Supremes would need to fight the Queen. She didn't clarify if it was her or her mother.

The reason being, Lucy bet on herself.

Lucy bet on the fact that she would become a Supreme Rank even before the current Dukes did, and in case she didn't, there were still no problems.

Lucy had complete faith in her mother and was aware of her prowess.

There were no problems whatsoever. Thus, to challenge herself, she went ahead and made a bold statement and left the ballroom, causing chaos everywhere.

Meanwhile…

On Lith's side, he was too shocked to see his sister make such bold statements. Although he was shocked, he wasn't worried as he had complete faith in his sister and mother and knew they wouldn't do something so stupid as risking their own lives.

As Lith saw Lucy leave, he felt he should check on her.

Lith excused himself from Emilia and Alexandra after giving them a few kisses. He went to the private chambers in the City Hall reserved for Lucy after he saw her walk towards it.

Lucy saw Lith standing at the door and looking at her with a smile. She didn't know what went inside her head, but looking at her brother's figure, she couldn't help but run towards him.

As she reached close, Lucy jumped on Lith and hugged him tight.

Her emotions changed quickly, and in a soft voice, she called out, "Little brother…."
