Vampire's Slice of Life

Lith lost.

That's right. He really lost this race and was now beside Mayzin in his kayak, around the shore of a river.

Despite losing though, there was a smile on Lith's face while Mayzin had a slightly complicated look on her face and was internally dumbfounded.

The reason for such a thing was…

A few minutes earlier.

SPLASH!

"YESSSSS!"

Mayzin exclaimed and raised her fist up in happiness as she won this race. There was a triumphant look on her face and she had thoroughly enjoyed this race.

However, a few seconds later, splashing sounds were heard and Lith arrived in the river down the mountain.

Lith paddled his way towards Mayzin and looking at her happy face, mentioned, "You enjoyed yourself, right aunt?"

Mayzin's happy smile vanished as she heard that. She knitted her brows slightly and was about to answer, when Lith interrupted her and said, "Well, I don't wanna know. Just don't forget the penalties you'll have to go through later, haha!"

This was the source of Mayzin's complicated look while Lith was smiling from the side, having fun teasing his aunt.

This race that Lith lost, it wasn't on purpose, but something he had calculated beforehand.

His aunt was a Demigod, there was no way he was winning against her. But, it was all for the greater good as her win would make things much better.

For instance, one should just look at her face right now. It seemed sort of guilty, sort of ashamed, and sort of happy.

She had definitely enjoyed this small kayaking adventure and the shame and guilt stemmed from the fact that she actually enjoyed the thing, despite always being against this.

Lith's goal was to make her have a good time and with the look on her face, he knew he succeeded.

Mayzin was also aware of the fact that Lith had probably achieved whatever he had planned.

Yes, she did enjoy it and was looking forward to more. But, would she say it openly? Definitely not!

She didn't want Lith to have any funny ideas. She hadn't fallen for him and there was no way she would get together with a child like that.

Mayzin still had a long way to go, but she was unaware of the fact that the dark side had already started pulling her close to itself.

Once the kayaking was over, Lith and Mayzin walked out and went to do their next activity, which was nothing but cooking in the wild.

Cooking was a major flex of Lith. He knew so many things about it that one would question whether he was actually a Prince or simply a chef.

The first thing to do before cooking was to gather the materials.

Lith tied his long hair in a man bun and prepared himself for it while Mayzin did the same as well.

She unconsciously began tying her hair when she saw Lith do it. This has been going for almost a decade as both had long hair that would come in their way during training.

Lith could cut his long hair anytime he wanted, but there was a major reason he didn't do so.

Long hair let Lith spend some quality time with his family and this was really a big deal for him.

For instance, back home, he would sit on the ground and behind him, his mother would sit on a stool and wrap her legs around him. She would then begin either braiding his hair or grooming it.

The head massage really felt good and there was no reason for him to cut his hair and not get those.

Plus, long hair looked cool and he stood out among the rest of the vampires.

Vampire males don't like long hair and it was only their Prince who kept it.

Though, Lith's influence was spreading and more vampires were opting to have long hair as days passed.

It was still very rare to see some male vampire with long hair, but the trends were slowly changing.

In any case, after tying his hair, Lith turned to his aunt and extending his hand out, said with a smile, "Let's go grab some ingredients."

Mayzin knitted her brows and stared at Lith's hand.

Lith chuckled and instead of waiting, went ahead and grabbed his aunt's hand himself.

Mayzin was surprised by this, but then Lith said, "Hand Holding is lewd, aunt. You just did it, now there's no going back."

"What…" Mayzin's concerns turned into confusion as she didn't understand what Lith meant.

Lith frowned and rubbed his thumb on the back of Mayzin's palm. He looked into her eyes and said with a hint of worry, "You held hands with me… I think you might be pregnant already, aunt."

Smack!

Mayzin slapped the back of Lith's head and said with knitted brows, "Stop making stupid jokes or I'll tie you up and throw you in the river."

Lith chuckled and began walking in the forest while holding Mayzin's hand. "Tie up and all that… Hmm… Didn't know aunt was into bdsm—"

Smack!

Lith got another hit, but Mayzin didn't let go of his hand as this was against rules for today.

Lith didn't mind the smacks and merely laughed. He flirted and made stupid jokes while walking with Mayzin and while doing so, picked up herbs and other stuff for the cooking.

After fifteen minutes of looking around, the two had found enough content to make something for themselves.

While in the wild, there were barely any utensils or things to have food in. The best possible option was either a good ol' stew or some barbecue.

Lith was in no mood for barbecue and he was sure that his aunt wouldn't like it either. It was best to make thick curry-like stew and have it with rice or bread.

Lith took the basket full of ingredients that Mayzin was holding and said, "I'll chop the veggies while in the meantime…"

Lith gave the basket on him to Mayzin and continued, "…You can beat my meat."

Mayzin wanted to smack Lith again for his stupid comment, but then realized that he wasn't really joking as the basket he gave her really contained meat.

This meat was thick and wouldn't be cooked properly unless beaten to turn them flat or in proper shape, then cut appropriately.

By the time Mayzin debated whether or not she should smack Lith, that silverhead had vanished from her sight and was chopping veggies in the distance.

Mayzin harrumphed at his stupid comments and then went to beat his mea— cut the meat into appropriate size for the stew.

The cooking was done in a slow manner and it took roughly an hour to cook the stew which was fatty, juicy, and full of flavor.

Lith scooped out some stew and pouring it in a bowl, handed it to Mayzin with a piece of slightly firm baguette.

He also instructed her on how to eat it and Mayzin did as he asked, since she didn't know much about all this stuff.

Mayzin tore apart the firm bread and dipped it into the stew, making it turn soft as it absorbed the delicious flavours and fats within it.

As Mayzin felt it go soft, she took it out and had a bite of it.

The stew that the bread absorbed like a sponge gushed out in Mayzin's mouth and flooded her dragon palate with immaculate flavors.

This warm meal was so flavorful and so delicious that it made Mayzin feel really cozy.

She sat down on a wooden chair she had made and after getting comfortable, continued to eat the food they had cooked.

Mayzin was just one step away from letting out a satisfied moan as she tasted this food. It reminded her of her adventures when she was gone and how they'd eat this exact thing while raiding dungeons and all that.

She forced herself to not let out a moan as that could make Lith have funny ideas and ruin this beautiful moment she was having.

Even though Mayzin didn't say anything yet, just from her facial expressions alone it was evident that she was thoroughly enjoying.

Smiling, Lith felt like spoiling her and to do that, he took out a taco shell from his ring and fishing out some meat from the stew, placed them in the taco and added some stew and other condiments and veggies to make it more delicious.

When he was done, he went beside Mayzin and offered her the taco without saying anything.

Mayzin was too absorbed in the good food and readily accepted the taco as it had the same smell as the stew she was having.

Taking a bite out of this taco, Mayzin firstly felt a great crunch and then the tasty oils oozed out while the delicious fats melted on her tongue.

Mayzin's eyes widened in surprise for a brief moment, but then she quickly hid it as she became self conscious and realized,

'Shit, I let myself too loose…'
