Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 799 An Imposter At The Throne?

The Raguel Family was the one to whom the crest belonged. The young girl had easily identified it and this meant that they were at least a little famous.

To Lith's surprise, they were not just famous, they were actually the rulers of a big kingdom called the Raguel Kingdom.

This was one of the ten kingdoms in the Tenmei Province of the Dark Dragon Tribe's territory.

The division of the dragons was far too complex as compared to the rest of the world.

Since there were many tribes, there were many territories, and since there were many territories and prideful dragons, there were many kingdoms and many rulers.

This Raguel family ruled over one of the ten kingdoms in one of the many provinces of the Dark Tribe territory. They may be big shots, but only to a limited geographical region.

In any case, Lith had to find this local snake and see what they were up to.

The Raguel Kingdom was in Arya's territory since the Dark Dragon Tribe belonged to her.

She might've probably been aware of Lith's presence as he was roaming in her territory, but well, he had no time to drop by and cuddle with her. He was training and had to resist the urge to sneak up to his cute wife and tightly hug her from behind.

…..

The Raguel Kingdom.

"Y-Y-Your Majesty… Elder Umbez has been poisoned and chopped up into pieces, then thrown at…"

A man in black noble clothes was kneeling in front of a woman clad in black armour and clothes. She was also wearing a black crown, a signature of the Dark Tribe, and looking at the man with an apathetic face.

"Who did it?" The woman asked nonchalantly, unbothered by this whole fiasco as if it was an everyday occurrence.

The man kneeling shook his head and said with some fear, "T-That is yet to be uncovered…"

"Hmm?" The woman raises an eyebrow in surprise. "Then why are you giving me this news?"

"This happened just three hours ago, Your Majesty. When our men went to investigate, the body had disappeared and nothing was left of Elder Umbez."

"Then how did you know how Umbez was chopped up and…" the woman asked, feeling a bit suspicious.

The man sighed and said, "We got intel about this from a local working for us. He recognized Elder Umbez because of the emblem on his chest and the signature gray burn at the side of his hair."

"I see…" the woman said and tapped on the armrest of her throne.

She thought about something deeply and then asked, "What's the death toll now?"

"4-9-2-1-7," said the man number by number.

The woman's brows knitted as she frowned. This was far too big of a number to ignore. Someone was trying to start a war, it seemed to her.

"How did the number go up by 20,000 in a single day?" She couldn't help but ask.

"There was a plague…"

The woman frowned further.

"A plague… a poisoned water stream… an elder got poisoned…" the woman's frown soon turned into a scowl and the finger tapping intensified with the changes of her mood.

How come so many were getting poisoned and by the same poison? What were the attackers trying to convey? And what was up with those guys? Just who were they?

The nearby kingdoms were definitely not the ones to do this as the alliance was strong. It was either some faraway kingdom or people from another province altogether.

The question was, why now of all days? Why attack now and this small Raguel Kingdom of all places?

The woman on the throne got absorbed in her thoughts and tried to make as many connections as she could to the problems arising in her kingdom, oblivious to the fact that someone was right behind her, watching everything she did.

This person behind her was none other than the handsome silver-haired vampire, aka Lith.

He had sneaked into the Raguel palace and was surprised to find out that there was a Queen here and not a King.

Lith wondered how come all sort of rulers he came across were women? Was this purely a coincidence as his luck was too good or was it due to some pervert pulling the strings behind his back?

If it was some pervert, Lith couldn't thank him enough since this was really a nice thing he was doing and hoped this continued on.

It may sound vile and scum-like, but it was easy to control women as Lith had the charisma and right tools to do so. To control men, he was far too lazy to put them under a mind spell. It was better to just torture them and get an answer or kill them.

In any case, the woman in front, the ruler of the Raguel Kingdom, seemed like just another ruler to Lith.

Though, there was something suspicious about her. This thing was so out in the open that Lith couldn't even ignore it even if he wanted to.

This suspicious thing about this woman was that she was trying too hard to maintain her composure. She was worrying internally and may also be panicking slightly after hearing the things the dude kneeling down said.

Lith got to know about this from the intense tapping of her fingers. One may think she was doing this out of rage, but no, this tapping had a nervous feeling to it and not something someone would do out of rage.

Lith was royalty himself, that too one above all in this world. He knew better than everyone as to how a ruler should act and seem like.

'Interesting…' thought Lith as he saw her, who was still pondering something.

The more Lith thought things would be over easily and quickly, the more time he was getting tangled into this mess.

Welp, nothing could be done about it and he had to see through things till the end or until his aunt called him back and asked him questions.

"Spread out our men and check for potential spies within the kingdom and possible threats as well," the woman said after a while of thinking.

The kneeling man nodded and left immediately to do his work.

Once the throne room was empty, the woman rubbed her temples and thought out loud, "After taking the throne, there's been nothing but trouble arising one after another. I really hate this…"

'Oh?' Lith thought to himself as he sat on the left armrest of the woman's throne and watched her.

The woman was leaning on the right side so the left armrest was empty for Lith to sit.

'Was my previous assessment wrong? Is this a newbie or something and not some imposter impersonating the actual ruler?' Lith thought again.

Now things were getting spiced up and Lith was sort of getting invested into this.

His first assessment was wrong, this was enough to cause some sparks of interest to arise.

Lith was now looking forward to see what more development would occur and hoped that it continued to spark his interest. manhua

He was an immortal who craved entertainment too at the end of the day, you know?
