Chapter 767 Lilith’s Declaration

Despite having the word Grand attached to it, the Grand Banquet's contents were similar to the other Royal Banquets that were hosted.

There was an opening speech done by a royal servant and then Lith was introduced to everybody.

The moment he was introduced, the entire crowd within the castle went into an uproar. Not only was Lith the most handsome man they'd ever seen, the regal aura exuded by him was unparalleled and unmatched.

Everyone within the castle was a major powerhouse of the world. Their children were naturally nobles as well. Yet, they all paled in comparison to the Vampire Prince.

The looks, the aura, the charm…

The children felt super insecure knowing they couldn't ever have these things whereas their parents thought about why they couldn't have children like the Vampire Prince.

A faint tension was developed between the parents and the children, but it was all ignored under the cheerful shouts of the others.

By others, it meant specifically the ladies. It didn't matter what age they were of or which noble house they belonged to. The moment they saw the Prince, they all felt a tingle in an unknown place and started fangirling for him.

Among this crowd, if Lith were to just point at any lady, she would happily give her whole self to Lith, it mattered not whether she was young, old, single, or married.

Lith felt it was all an exaggeration and empty praises, but the more he heard everyone's shout, the more it made him think that such might not be the case.

He was wondering whether his charms had to do with his bloodline or was it because the dual cultivation arts had improved his physique. If it wasn't any of that… was it because his Yang energy became purer and the ladies could unknowingly sense it?

There were many questions and deciphering an answer would distract him from the banquet. Lith thus kept it aside for now and focused on the banquet.

He did a little speech of thanking everybody for coming and that it was a pleasure hosting the guests.

Then, he called for the first dance and instead of him doing it this time, there were a few selected Vampire Nobles taking the stage.

Once the first dance was over, Lucy and Lilith arrived on stage while having their arms locked with Lith.

And as usual, the spectators sucked in a cold breath of air by looking at their noble selves.

Many passed out due to intense nose bleeds while the ones that didn't… they were trying their best to not pass out.

Too bad for the ones outside though. They couldn't see the faces of three Royals as they were covered in darkness. The live stream had a filter to keep things hidden. Not even a Supreme Rank would be able to see through this filter.

Lucy said a few words after arriving as she was the Queen. Then, they cut a towering cake while an orchestra played a birthday symphony for the Prince.

The crowd from all over the continent cheered for the Prince and lots and lots of confetti was shot out when Lith was cutting the cake.

Finishing this, Lilith took to the stage and gave a speech with Lith and Lucy on her sides.

The starting few lines were formal greetings and she then proceeded to the main part.

"On this auspicious day, I, the Vampire Queen Lilith Evure…"

There was a crown on her head and a staff in her hand, indicating that she was acting as the Queen right now and not Lucy.

Lilith wouldn't take the crown from her daughter whom she doted on so much, but it was a bit necessary today.

"…I am making a formal declaration."

The crowd turned silent and patiently listened to what the Queen was saying. The same was the case with the ones watching the stream.

A serious gaze flickered in Lilith's eyes and as she stared in front, everyone felt as if she was staring right into their souls, making them shiver in fear.

"My children…"

Lilith started with those words, letting the flow of the speech steer towards the topic of her two children.

The people listened intently and Lilith stated the things Lucy had achieved.

Everyone was shocked to find out that she was a King Rank at the young age of just 500. They got another shock after knowing that she was acting as the Queen for the last eight decades.

Being speechless was an understatement that these guys were feeling.

Lilith didn't stop here. She stated a few more achievements of Lucy and then went on to talk about Lith.

Once his talks started, the young nobles in the castle felt their very foundation to start shaking!

The Prince had reached Saint Rank at what age!?!? They all exclaimed within their minds.

These noble children were around the age of Lith and Lucy and they felt ashamed of themselves knowing the achievements of these two.

They felt as if they were nothing but a speck of dust as compared to these Royals.

Lilith let the people think whatever they wanted while she spoke and finally… got to the most important bit.

"…what I just mentioned, it's not to garner praise, but to give you all a glimpse of whom you'll be going up against."

Hmm? The people around the world looked at the Queen in puzzlement.

Lilith's lips curved up into a faint smile.

"The formal declaration I mentioned…"

The spectators grabbed the armrest tightly and were on the edge of their seats as this was mentioned.

Right, the Queen did mention something regarding a declaration at the start.

"…it's an open statement for each and every one of you…"

Lilith finally got to the point.

"…if you surpass my children in cultivation or are able to defeat them and bring them to me…"

Lilith took a pause and smiled. This smile wasn't her usual gentle one, but seemed like that of a crazed person.

"…the Vampire Royal Throne is yours."

GASP!

"WHAAAATTTT!??!"

Some people couldn't help themselves from shouting out loud and some people plopped down from their seats due to the sudden shock.

Lilith didn't explain further and left the scene with Lith and Lucy, letting the people decipher whatever they wanted from it.

Loud discussions occurred in the ballroom and people just couldn't help themselves from repeatedly asking whether they heard it right or not.

The same situation occurred in the rest of the continent and the shock was just too much for some to handle.

News outlets pumped out one article after another in regards to this and it travelled to every nook and cranny of the world, making everyone listen to Lilith's speech again and again.

Meanwhile…

Lith and Lucy didn't question their mother on this, neither did they ask her why she would do such a thing.

One thing the two knew for sure was that their mother would never do anything that wasn't related to their welfare.

Maybe she wanted the two to work hard and keep the pride of the family intact? Who knows.

Lith, for one, was super relaxed. He was well aware of his potential and was working hard to make breakthroughs.

He went to the inheritance trials before sleeping, then after waking up went to the hidden dungeon… Lith learnt quite a lot of things here.

His attainment in most of the elements was rising and he was feeling his breakthrough being close.

In any case, Lith wasn't worried about getting defeated by anyone.

At least in this world.

Walking with his mother and sister, Lith reached the guest room where his closest guests were waiting for him.

As he entered the big luxurious room, the sight he saw made him stop and smile.

On one sofa, Arya was sitting facing Emilia while hugging Alexandra like a doting big sister.

Alexandra seemed slightly unhappy but nevertheless conversed with the two normally.

On the other sofa, Mayzin was doing the same thing, except she had Alea in her embrace and was talking to Agalea.

On another sofa, Lucifer was talking to her grandfather while hugging the hot-tempered Roxy, who currently had a gentle expression on her face as she was playing with Ren.

On Alex's side, he was hugging Rosy, who was playing with Ren along with Roxy.

Behind Alex, Ruth was currently making the absolute mess of his golden hair. She was playing with it and while doing so, accidentally lit it up on fire.

Alex didn't seem to mind it though. He calmly put away the fire and patted Ruth's head, who chuckled in happiness.

Lith didn't want to interrupt these guys talking so sweetly, but as he entered along with his mother and sister, everyone's gaze fell on him.

"Darling~!"

"Little cousin!"

"Husband!

"Nephew!"

Alea and Alexandra rushed to hug Lith while the rest called out to him while being seated.

Lith hugged the cute elf and vampire jumping on him and looking at the rest, waved his hand and greeted everyone with a smile.

The ladies then turned to look at Lilith, who in turn smiled and chuckled softly.

"Let's get seated first, I'll answer everyone's question one by one."
