Vampire's Slice of Life

Chapter 543 Lith Wakes Up

A year passed.

Inside the cemetery in the Royal Castle.

The place Lith was buried started trembling and in just a few instances, the black coffin Lith was in was out.

Creek!

The door of the coffin creaked open slowly and out of it appeared a pale hand.

Soon, Lith's silver-haired figure was visible. His long silver hair was in a mess and he seemed like a ghost who had just come out.

Lith's vision was blurry and he hadn't opened his eyes yet.

His throat felt dry and he was really thirsty.

"Blood…"

Lith said in his sleepy voice, out of pure instinct.

"Good morning." A gentle voice rang in his ears in the next instant.

Although still sleepy, Lith didn't have to guess whose voice it is. He simply turned towards the source of the voice and before he knew it, something soft hit his mouth and he felt in being someone's warm embrace.

The smell of mild roses assaulted his nose and being very familiar with this, he extended his fangs out and bit onto the soft place.

Pretty soon, blood gushed into his mouth and rather than blood, it tasted like the most divine nectar out there to Lith.

His dry throat was moist again with his thirst getting quenched.

Lith was starting to wake up as he drank more blood and after a bit, he didn't need to guess what situation he was in when he fully woke up.

Lilith, his mother, was hugging him and he was in her embrace, biting onto her neck.

When Lilith felt the ground in the cemetery tremble, she got here as soon as she could and watching Lith say the word blood, she got close to him.

Lilith caressed Lith's head as he drank blood and finally when he was done, he let go of her neck and pulled back.

Lith finally saw his mother's gentle face, her silver hair and her amethyst eyes. She was looking at him with a smile.

"Slept well?" She asked while putting his hair hiding his face to the side.

Lith was still sleepy but he nodded lightly and said, "Yes."

He was feeling really lazy right now and didn't want to get up from his place. It felt the same as waking up on a cold morning, not feeling like getting out of the cozy warm blankets.

Lilith caressed Lith's back and let him be in her embrace for a bit.

After a while, she took him away from the cemetery and to his room to freshen him up, waking him up fully.

They were now in front of a big body mirror after Lith was all dressed up.

Lilith was sitting on a small table and Lith was sitting in front of her, cross-legged.

Lilith took some hair oil and putting on Lith's head, she started lightly massaging him.

Lith half closed his eyes and continued to enjoy this feeling.

Lilith then asked, "So… how are you feeling now?"

"Pretty refreshed." Lith answered.

"Any change you feel in your body?"

Lith lightly shook his head. "No."

The two started conversing with Lilith asking Lith many questions to check up on his health. Lith answered all he knew about himself.

Half an hour later, Lilith stopped massaging his head and started styling his hair into a man bun.

Lilith wanted to spend as much time as she could with Lith. She knew he would be gone from the castle the moment he was feeling energized.

And he should rightfully do so. He was young and not old like Lilith. He should explore the world, adventure, and do many things.

While conversing with him, she asked what he was going to do now and Lith's plans were simple. He would make Neo do his things while he would be in the Elven Continent, doing stuff with Ralph and Dennis.

Lilith did a body check of Lith and told him later that the stress on it was definitely lowered, but not to a high degree. He would probably need to sleep for another twenty to thirty years to recover.

He could either sleep or he could roam around, not cultivating until he was a hundred years old.

He had become an immortal at a very young age. His body couldn't handle it.

Lith understood everything and he assured his mother that he wouldn't cultivate, just explore the world.

They then talked about the family.

Lucy was busy with politics as usual and was out of the castle, doing her things. To ensure her safety, Noman and Arbour were following her everywhere.

Emilia was preparing to host another academy entrance exam. She was busy with her academy related things.

Arya and Alexandra both were together in the Dragon Continent. Arya was training Alexandra by taking her to new places and was looking after her.

Lith was amused knowing this. He commended his wife Arya for looking after Alexandra and internally decided to thank her later for this.

Lilith then said that everyone missed Lith, which made his heart warm and put a smile on his face.

Lilith was done styling Lith's hair by the this time and getting up, he stretched and said, "I miss everyone too. I guess before going to the Elven Continent, I need to spend some time with my wives first."

Lilith nodded. Then she asked with a smile, "So are you going to spend time with mama now?"

Lith smiled back and asked, "Is that even a question?"

Lilith chuckled and Lith did so as well.

"But before doing that, I need to go meet the others and check up on them. I'll be back in a bit." Lith said to her.

Before going to the Elven Continent, he'll definitely spend some time with his mother, he thought. He first had to meet his other ladies and see what they were upto. It's been a year since they last saw him.

Lilith was pretty understanding and nodded her head, giving her approval.

Lith kissed her forehead and thanked her for her understanding.

He then had tea with his mother and after chatting for a bit more, left to see his wives.

First, he went to see Lucy since she was in the Vampire Continent itself.

*

The Adelstein territory.

Lucy was in a carriage, on her way to Duchess River's castle. Since she was the Reagent Queen and on a tour of the Vampire Continent, she had to roam in a carriage as she was making a formal visit.

While in the luxurious carriage, she was sitting with her legs crossed over each other and had her headphones on.

Lucy was listening to classical music and was humming the tunes while having her eyes closed.

There were many guards in front and back of the carriage, escorting Lucy to the Duchess' castle. There were some Royal Servants mixed in with those guards.

In the air above the carriage, there was Noman and Arbour.

Soon, Noman, having Space affinity, felt fluctuations in the air near him.

Arbour being a Supreme Rank was also sensitive to elemental energies and noticed it.

The two stopped and were on their guard, ready to defend the Queen in case of any attacks.

But their alertness dropped immediately as after the fluctuations ended, Lith appeared in front of them.

The two bowed immediately after moving towards him and greeted Lith.

"Hello." Lith smiled and waved at them. He then said shook his head with the smile still there and continued, "Noman, how many times I've told you to not be so formal when we're in private."

Noman got up and Arbour did so too.

Arbour stayed quiet while Noman said calmly, "It won't do, Your Highness."

He was their Prince, there was no way they would disrespect Lith by not properly greeting him.

Lith shook his head again. He then changed topic and asked, "How is the tour going? Is my sister having any difficulties?"

Noman shook his head but then remembering something, nodded his head.

"Hmm?" Lith was confused with this gesture.

Noman explained, "Her Majesty is having difficulties in properly talking to the Vampire Nobles. She lacks experience and is swayed by the opinions of the nobles. Although she hadn't been taken advantage of so far, she hasn't figured out a way to properly deal with them."

Lith raised his eyebrows in interest. Now this was something new he was hearing.

His sister had always been perfect in all aspects, be it combat or literature. She was well versed with the pen and sword both.

But it was for the first time Lith was hearing that she was having difficulties in something.

Lith smiled and thought to himself, 'It seems even my sister who is perfect in everything has her difficult times.'

Lith then said to Noman, "Anything else?"

Noman shook his head. "Her Majesty is slowly learning and so far, she's made great progress."

"Good." Lith nodded. He then said, "Thank you for briefing me up on things. I'll go check up on her."

"His Highness mustn't be so polite." Noman flashed a small smile on his face and said shaking his head.

Arbour, looking at Noman's smile was amused.

He then looked back at Lith, only to see him wave at the two and move down towards the carriage.

Arbour thought to himself as Lith went away, 'The Prince, although young… is very polite. Is Noman sure that he's not talking to an impostor of the Vampire Prince?'

It was a bit unbelievable knowing someone at such a high place could be so polite and thus Arbour had those thoughts.

He then looked at Noman, about to ask what was on his mind, but refrained from doing so in the next instant.

'If Noman thinks he's the Prince, then he definitely is. If I ask that question, I'll just be called stupid by him.' Arbour thought to himself.

He then got back to doing his work and his thoughts continued, 'I don't want to be called stupid.'

.....

A/N: For the ones wondering where is Rena(the pet wolf), the answer is really simple.

She has fallen into the plot abyss.

This is my first novel and the first few chapters were the time when I had just started writing. So, I was very new and didn't know a lot of things.

I wanted to give mc a pet doggo, kind of like a golden retriever who would be his companion and roam everywhere with him.

But what happened was, the readers at that time pressurized me into changing gender of that character and I had to make it Rena.

Eventually, I disliked the Rena character a lot and stopped writing about her.

That's about it. Rena is now chilling in Nightingale's Dark Rose Forest with her family and won't be involved in plot much.

I hope this answers your queries :p
