(Vanessa's POV)
I see many people start to file in and take a seat, the public banquet hall is getting filled up pretty quickly.
Seer is guiding people to open seats and receive their gifts. After taking their gifts he makes sure it is not sabotaged in any way and places them in the pile of gifts.
After 10 minutes before the banquet's official start, the whole room is filled with different houses and races.
Since I was part of the multi-race group that helped fight the war, which had all the races fight together, it gave me fame and respect from the other races, as I was a main contributor to the war.
I see all the people attending and I get a little nervous, but I shake off my nerves and go up to the podium and start saying a speech.
"I thank everyone who is attending this banquet in honor of my 150th birthday, whether it was a long or short journey, I hope you get something out of this. In the many years of my life, there have been many ups and downs but the one thing that helped me throughout most of my life is the group I was in known as the unfightable five in the academy and known in the war as the "fierce five".
Every day was great with them around I would learn about other races, be competitive, and push each other to our limits. We would always confine in each other if needed and it was an extremally good group.
If you want to live a good life make sure the people around you are really your friend and truly want the best for you. They need to be able to push you to your limits and challenge the way you think.
On the other side of the coin, they need to reinforce your decisions and help you through whatever you have to deal with, they should help you grow and be with you to support you.
The last thing I want to say is, It doesn't matter your age or position you always have ways you can grow or improve yourself, you just need to find the right people. Don't push them away keep them close and be receptive to what they say, but the most important part is to make sure they are truly your "friend".
I thank everyone for coming to this banquet and I hope you enjoy it."
I step off the podium and go toward the food, after I get my food and drink Seer dismisses tables to get their food and drinks.
I see a table that was empty because the people there were getting food at that moment, and I see all of our group sitting there and having a great time, but since Elevena is serving under the king she didn't come and the other members said they were busy and would love to come but they can't. Our group consisted of; Elevena-human, Nylah-werewolf, Dawn-dragon, Pearl-Phoenix, and me Vanessa-Vampire.
Memories of us fighting together and each other run through my brain and happiness wells up inside of me, the feeling of all of us being together was great every day was fulfilling and fun with them around.
But sadly the five of us cannot meet each other like this again, because Elevena changed and I doubt the king will let her see us.
Enough of that, right now I must appreciate what I have now because soon I won't be able to see Seer as much in the upcoming days.
Speaking of seer he sits down right next to me and starts to congratulate me.
After a minute of congratulations and a little idle talk, he starts to shift to a more serious face and tone.
He then asks a question I never saw coming.
He asked, "Mom was 28 when she died and you guys were in the same class together which should mean you guys should be the same age, why are you 150?
I looked at him with a shocked face and regain my composure. I say to Seer sarcastically "That was a bit insensitive".
Seer then looks at me apologetically and starts to say he didn't mean for it to sound or be rude, I can see his face become a bit more flushed and frantic.
"Aww, how cute," I think to myself, well to answer your question when I was participating in the war we had to go to a different dimension and time worked differently in certain places, I just happened to be in one that was slower in the dimension then here, so I converted the time between each of the places and I concluded that if I stayed her I would be 140 at the time, and now ten years have passed.
Seer replies, "Ohh I didn't know that, it makes a lot more sense no, I am sorry if it was a rude question to ask. I will now bring over all of your gifts and you can open them.
I get done opening the gifts that were given to me and start talking to the guests, after a couple of hours the banquet ended and all the guests left.
Soon after with the help of many servants and Seer the banquet was quickly cleaned up and settled, and the banquet hall was closed for the rest of the night.
(Seer POV)
I help clean up and close the banquet center, I soon return home with Vanessa.
As soon as we get out I ask her politely to follow me, while she was following me I ask her a simple question "Are you still hungry?"
Vanessa replies "I can still eat some food".
I take her to the dining room and set the mood, a nice and fancy white table cover was on the table with extremally fancy plates and utensils.
I light the candles to illuminate the table and turn off the lights to add to the aesthetic of the meal (yes I know that she can see in the dark, as good as she can see in the day). I then arrive with my food and gently place it down where she is sitting.
A couple of minutes later all of the food is gone and Vanessa is panting and has an extremely red face like she was drunk. I say to myself "Looks like she has enjoyed my meal mixed with my blood".
I then take out the necklace I gave to her and give it to her after the table was cleaned off.
She gasps and takes it with an extremely happy and thankful look. She puts it on and looks extremely gorgeous the necklaces compliment her eyes and dress extremally well adding more to her looks, (well she is always gorgeous, one of the pretties women I have ever seen).
I then gather the courage to ask her a detrimental question, I say to her before asking the question " I am going to ask you something, I am doing this to thank you for everything don't think you don't deserve it or you are pushing me toward this decision because it is your birthday".
Another quick warning is we can keep this relationship how it is and you can just consider it something "normal" that happens in a "Master and disciple" relationship or you or We can take this relationship a little further, but the choice is up to you and I don't want our relationship to be awkward after this, because I like you for you and It would hurt a lot if you started acting different around me.
"Do you want to suck my blood?"
