Chapter 552 Rose Manor

There was a large manor situated fifteen kiloht had just taken over the sky

Rose Manor was already brightly lit and filled with guests

The manor's front plaza with a fountain was filled with noble's carriages fro cities Several well-dressed noble ladies in expensive fur eround before proudly walking into the entleht before the manor They held still politely as they awaited the arrival of the guests, occasionally loudly announcing the long string of titles that each guest possessed

Leicester Vik stood silently on the open balcony of the lass of Pinedew Wine in his hands, cradling the glass and allowing the cri, and bloody fragrance

This particular type of truffle wine had been personally distilled by the fain's heart blood and pine dew harvested froe of the Great Silent Forest had been used towith a dozen types of jasmine and rose pollen

Pinedeine distilled in this ant luxury for a va that an ordinary vampire could afford Only a top-tier vampire like Leicester could enjoy it as if it was a daily commodity

Leicester was extraordinarily tall, handsome, and he looked to be only about thirty years old

He had a pronounced nose and sunken eyes His eyes were red, but his pupils were golden A headful of long, dark, and curly brown hair rested upon his shoulders The lines on his face were sharp and firm His mustache was fine and extremely well-maintained, while his exposed skin was a pristine alabaster envied by all nobles

He wore a tailored black dress suit, the ant, and pleasant to the touch One look and anyone could tell it cost a fortune Aoutside the inner pocket of his suit It seemed there was a pocketwatch within

While he euests below hi out frouests are all here They are waiting on you"

The one who had approached Leicester was the host of the Rose Manor– Viscount Entia, who had been stationed here by the Vik family

As an ancient vampire family, the Viks had split the va to ancestral etiquette These five classes were the Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, and Baron Duke represented Fourth Grade, Marquis represented Third Grade, Count represented Second, Viscount represented First, and Baron represented pseudo-adepts

Any vampire as pseudo-adept and beloould not be recorded into the Vik's family tree Not even their name would remain after they died

The evolutionary traits of the vao down a different path of cultivation co the blood of powerful individuals was an instinct of theirs, as well as the only way they could strengthen themselves

The blood of ordinary individuals could only sustain the the blood of powerful lifeforrow in power That hy they were also one of the rare few adept groups who held the most contact with the ordinary people of their territories

All large manors within the hereditary lands of the Viks would occasionally hold large-scale parties of debauchery The nobles of nearby cities were often invited to such banquets and feasts In particular, these were the best opportunities for noble ladies to get close to their rulers

The ordinary and ignorant co them to be monsters that feasted on human blood and demons that spread death wherever they went However, the local nobles in the Vik territory didn't think so

They had no choice but to offer their talents and abilities to these gentle and elegant adepts, as they lived within the lands of va ti as the peasants often claimed them to be

The vampires were just like them They needed to eat and drink They had a life of their own They required plenty of servants to serve them

Moreover, the va into a blood slave, or even a lowly varow eveninto an actual vampire

If vampires were demons, then they were demons who spread beauty and eternal youth wherever they went!
