Luke spent another three hours notifying the Upper-ranking Vampires at home, including some nobles like himself.
The whole process went smoothly. Most of the Vampires cooperated with the work, and two even enjoyed Luke's'special service'.
One of these two Vampires was from Ferid's faction. Possibly going through menopause recently, his face had been dark ever since he saw Luke.
The other one was just groggy from sleep. After opening the door, before Luke could even speak, he just said 'Moe' and closed the door, ready to go back to sleep.
How could Luke tolerate that? He also gave these two guys' houses a 'wasteland-style' makeover and gave them a 'massage'.
Luke thought to himself, how could there be someone as kind as him? Free renovation, free massage.
It's just that their bodies were a bit too weak. During the massage, their bones kept cracking, they couldn't take much pressure, and they cried out at every touch.
"The Progenitor has been notified, and the Upper-ranking Vampires in Sanguinem have been notified. Now we just need to wait until the mission deadline."
Luke muttered to himself while looking at the green text on the light screen. The text turning green indicated the mission conditions were met.
Although Luke was itching with anticipation, there was nothing he could do.
For some reason, ever since arriving in Sanguinem eight years ago, not only had the number of random missions decreased, but after completing a mission, he also had to wait until the time limit ended to receive the reward.
It was as if there used to be human customer service, but now it's all automated.
Speaking of which, he couldn't quite remember why he was at the Hiiragi Family eight years ago when Krul caught him. It seemed like he went to confirm someone's safety... he couldn't remember. It felt like a part of his memory was strangely missing.
Forget it, no point thinking about it. Too much thinking gives him a headache.
Having completed his task, Luke returned to Krul's palace.
Krul was discussing something with a Vampire dressed like a lady when she suddenly saw Luke push the door open and enter. She asked,
"Oh, you're back. Did you notify everyone?"
Luke gave an OK sign, came to Krul's side, and prepared to listen to what they were talking about.
"I understand what to say, Lord Krul, but in the end, we still need you to deliver the closing remarks."
Krul frowned. The lady quickly explained.
"Lord Krul, only you delivering the closing remarks can stir everyone's emotions. After all, you are our queen."
Krul asked somewhat impatiently.
"Then what should I say?"
The lady thought for a moment and said seriously.
"It needs to have momentum and courage."
Luke listened on the side, utterly confused. What are you two talking about? Why don't I understand?
Krul thought for a long while.
"'War has begun.' Would that work?"
The lady nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, that will definitely get a good response when the time comes."
Luke finally understood what they were discussing. So they were preparing the script for the declaration of war.
Well, it made sense. Lord Krul was okay at threatening humans, but to inspire the Vampires' fighting spirit, she really needed a mouthpiece.
Once the process was finalized, Krul leaned back on her throne and said to the lady.
"Alright, that's the arrangement then. You may leave now."
"Yes!"
Krul then instructed Luke.
"Get me an apple."
Luke handed over the apple.
While eating the apple, Krul asked Luke about the reactions of the Vampires who received the notice.
"Apart from Guren not cooperating much, the others were all cooperative. After I moved Guren with reason and emotion, she also indicated she would attend."
Krul chuckled lightly. She didn't believe Guren was moved at all. That guy who usually greeted her reluctantly was definitely beaten into submission.
Krul pressed further.
"What about Ferid?"
"That was something else! That old guy first ordered his subordinates to beat me up, then hung me up and beat me again before listening to me. Then he said you're always up to these Messy things, Lord Krul, and that Sanguinem should be handed over to him to manage. But he said he'd still come to see what tricks you're up to, and then he threw me out the door. He even broke his own door when he threw me out!"
Luke pretended to be heartbroken and indignant, but Krul just propped her chin on her hands, smiling as she watched his performance.
"Why stop? I quite like this story."
Luke felt like he was being watched like a monkey. He coughed awkwardly twice, spread his hands, and said,
"Alright, fine. He said he would come."
Krul continued asking.
"What about Crowley?"
"Crowley will come too."
Krul didn't ask further. Krul and Feng would definitely listen to Crowley. As long as the Progenitors arrived, that was enough. The Upper-ranking Vampires were just there to make up the numbers.
Seeing that Krul had nothing else to Instructions, Luke prepared to return to his room to read some novels. He was recently reading 'God Slayer'.
Over a dozen hours passed in the blink of an eye. Luke put down the book. The intense reading made his head feel somewhat swollen.
He checked the light screen. Two hours left until Settlement. The text was still green, so no problem.
Luke calculated the time.
The declaration of war would start tomorrow morning. He hadn't slept for two days. He should sleep first. The reward would be available when he woke up.
Thinking this, Luke fell into a deep, drowsy sleep.
Several cars drove into Sanguinem.
Mika, René, and Lacus got out of the cars and couldn't help but stretch.
Lacus said to those Lower-ranking Vampires.
"Dismissed."
Then he turned to Mika.
"Well then, goodbye, Mika. Haha."
René also patted Mika's shoulder and smiled at him. He had also accepted Mika as a friend.
Although Mika couldn't see any change in René's facial expression.
René hated humans. Initially, knowing Mika had just become a Vampire, he was somewhat prejudiced against him. But Mika, whether in strength or other aspects, had earned his respect.
On their way back, Lacus and René encountered Guren practicing on a Mechanical Doll in the courtyard.
Lacus teased.
"Guren, so much energy? Not sleeping?"
Guren glared fiercely at Lacus. She remembered these two seemed to be on pretty good terms with that bastard Luke.
Guren suddenly thought of a way to mess with these two. A mischievous smile curled at the corner of her mouth. She decided to make these two pay for today's humiliation. She said to Lacus and René,
"By the way, Luke came today. The Upper-ranking Vampires need to report to the Theater tomorrow. He wants you two to go to the Theater first thing tomorrow morning to be Lighting Technicians."
Lacus was puzzled, pointing at himself.
"The Cute King? Wants us? To be Lighting Technicians? Shouldn't that be done by Lower-ranking Vampires?"
Guren spouted nonsense.
"Luke notified all the Upper-ranking Vampires today. When the time comes, the Lower-ranking Vampires won't even be qualified to enter. But we still need Lighting Technicians."
René didn't believe Guren's nonsense at all. Lacus didn't really believe it either, but they thought it was probably true that the Upper-ranking Vampires needed to go to the Theater tomorrow morning.
Lacus and René exchanged a glance and decided to get up early tomorrow to find Luke and ask him.
Meanwhile, after bidding farewell to the two, Mika headed towards the Human Residential Area. Since his Private Residence hadn't been decided yet, he could only return to the Human Residential Area.
He didn't even know about the event at the Theater tomorrow morning.
In Luke's room, Luke was sleeping soundly. But Miku suddenly appeared, displaying the light screen. The text on the screen had turned red, indicating the mission was incomplete.
"New notification target detected. Mission time limit: three, two, one... Mission failed!"
Miku's announcement didn't wake Luke. He was really quite tired.
Luke turned over but didn't wake up.
Miku changed into a little devil outfit, pressed a finger against Luke's forehead, and muttered.
"Turn bad, turn bad..."
