Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 272 CNC lnterrogation



Chapter 272 CNC lnterrogation

Lenz Tower, Espat.

Emilia, along with Sel arrived at Lenz Tower. She was called here by one of the council members.

The CNC office was located at the upper most levels of the Lenz Tower and only a select few personnels were allowed entry apart from the fifty council members.

Emilia was given an appointment and she could go in without any problems.

The elevator arrived at the 50th floor and Emilia walked out of it along with Sel and went towards the reception.

They showed the receptionist their cards and were taken by her to the council.

After reaching there, Emilia asked Sel to wait outside and she entered inside the council.

Inside she saw fifty people sitting in a semi-circular manner, wearing formal robes of their respective cultures.

In front of them was one seat available to sit and Emilia knew this was where she was supposed to sit. It wasn’t her first time coming here and she was used to this. They were going to interrogate her once again.

After Emilia down, the council members asked some questions related to the academy’s administration and if it was running smoothly or not. Emilia answered them fluently without any problems. They then arrived at the main part of interrogation.

A council member wearing purple robes said, “Miss Emilia, why did you give an approval to the Vampire Prince for dropping out? You know this is a serious matter right? It’s directly connected to the reputation of the academy. How can you take such a big decision without consulting the council?”

Emilia replied to this question in a neutral tone, saying, “I gave him an approval because I understand the reasoning behind him doing that. As for me taking this decision without consulting the council, let me clarify one thing.”

“I am not a puppet of the council nor do I work under the council as a subordinate. The council and the academy only have one relation—to appoint members in the academy. Theses rules have been amended long ago, just in case you ladies and gentlemen forgot.”

“I am not obliged to consult the council if I feel that the matter isn’t of importance. So please, let’s save ourselves some time and trouble and castaway this topic.”

“Another thing that I’d like to shed light upon is a simple reminder.”

Emilia paused after saying so and looked the council members straight in the eyes. She then continued,

“I always do things taking into consideration the best interests of the students. It’s not the academy that I care about, it’s the students. So even in future, if there is something that may tarnish the reputation of the academy, I shall always side with the students.”

The council members, hearing this, became furious. How dare Emilia say that? They appointed her as the principal so that she took great care of the interests of the academy. What was she speaking all of a sudden?

She basically conveyed to the council that the academy can burn down but she’ll always side with the students. This wasn’t wrong but the academy should always be her first priority and she shouldn’t do such a thing.

Afterall, there were heavy donations that are made each year to the academy and a good portion of it is taken by the CNC. The academy’s reputation mattered a lot.

A council member in blue robes looked at Emilia and said, “Miss Emilia, let us remind you, if we can put you in that position, we can also remove you from there. What you said wasn’t wrong, but it doesn’t coincide with the fact that the academy’s reputation should always be maintained and should always be the first priority.”

Emilia looked at the man and said in her gentle tone, “gentleman, if that’s a threat, I hope it’s the first and the last one that you give me. And I stand by my views, my values, and my virtues. The students will always be the number one priority no matter what happens.”

The council member knitted his brows as he heard that. He started fuming internally hearing such passive aggressive words from Emilia.

It wasn’t just him, there were other council members as well who shared the same opinion and value.

Of course, they weren’t a lot in numbers and were just a few. But these few people were also the loudest and caused the opinions of other members to change a bit. ?

The council went into a heated discussion after Emilia said so. They were discussing whether what Emilia was thinking was correct or not and they were also stating their dissatisfaction related to the same.

Emilia on the other hand was sitting calmly on her chair and was waiting for this pointless meeting to be over. She knew why she was called here and these people, instead of asking her the important things, they were asking her pointless things.

The new changes in the relation of the academy and CNC stated that the academy was independent to that of CNC. They had full rights to make decisions over things and the CNC in no way would interfere in this matter.

Despite this, Emilia was called here and she didn’t like this thing. She was a gentle and kind lady but they too had their limits. The council members were testing Emilia’s patience and her kindness repeatedly and she didn’t like this. Thus, she was a bit rude with her words today and didn’t speak as kindly as she did normally.

The meeting went on for a few more hours with the topic being pointless and useless in Emilia’s opinion. She wanted to get out of this immediately but she couldn’t do so as that would mean breaching the codes of the CNC and she may get punished for it.

The CNC members were angry, disappointed, and also worried about the decision Emilia took. They also didn’t like the fact that Emilia was acting so much on her own and didn’t choose to consult the CNC. Sure, the academy was independent, but was it truly? The council members argued this among each other.

Emilia calmly and gently answered all of the CNC’s questions and even after a long time when the CNC wasn’t able to find dirt on her, they sighed in defeat and let her go. They knew that they couldn’t waste too much of her time either as that would cause problems to them.

If Emilia complained to the Heavenly Emperor, the CNC was bound to be in serious trouble. Thus, despite their opinions not aligning with Emilia’s, they didn’t do much to her except for showing their disapproval and unhappy faces.

Emilia didn’t care about them even a bit and left after he job was done there. She didn’t leave without saying anything to them though.

She reminded the council that if they were to dwell too deep into this matter and involve the Vampire Prince, her student, into it more than needed, it wasn’t just her that would act on this.

The CNC would need to suffer the brunt of the Heavenly Emperor, her own self, the War Angel, and the Royal Clan of the Vampires.

This reminder from Emilia obviously alarmed the CNC and this was what caused them to come back to their senses and conclude the interrogation.

Emilia, after walking out, met with Sel and the two people walked their way out of the Lenz Tower.

While walking, Sel asked, a bit curious, “madam, why did it take you so long to come out?”

Sel wasn’t shy and she also knew her boundaries. What she had asked was none of her business to know and this was also nothing but gossip that she was doing. However, she was very close to Emilia and was also Emilia’s biggest devotee and the only subordinate. It was okay for her to ask such things. Emilia also was very kind and she didn’t mind her asking such things.

Emilia sighed and answered, “the same old thing, Sel. They were thinking of the best interest of the CNC, not the academy or the students present. The entire discussion, no, it couldn’t be said as discussion, but interrogation was related to this. It was very tiring.”

Sel nodded hearing it. “Those people probably think of themselves as superior to other Emperor Ranks. They didn’t care about madam’s time and also didn’t ask whether you were okay with coming today or not and gave you a command instead.”

Emilia nodded. “That’s right. They do think like that but I can’t do anything about it. I have to follow the protocols since I am now in this position. I don’t like bureaucracy and I don’t want to be in this political mess, but I have to, since I am bound with this position.”

“For the sake of the best interests of the students, I have to do what they ask of me and it’s only because of that reason that I listen to the CNC’s commands.”

Sel too sighed hearing this. She could understand her madam’s troubles but she couldn’t help her on this. Matters of such a level couldn’t be solved or be done by someone who’s not an Emperor Rank.

The two walked out of the Lenz Tower and Emilia decided to walk outside a bit to get fresh air and relax. She was too tired of the talks of the CNC and wanted to have a bit of peace.

While walking, Emilia’s tiredness soon vanished and a small smile formed on her pretty face.

Sel who was walking beside Emilia noticed this and to understand why her madam became happy so suddenly, she looked into the direction Emilia was looking in and soon saw a silver-haired figure walking in a certain direction.

Sel understood why her madam became happy all of a sudden. She turned to look back at Emilia but noticed that Emilia was gone from her place.

She looked around to see where she was and noticed that Emilia had teleported close to Lith already.

Sel sighed and said to herself, “madam needs more friends…”
