Vampire's Slice of Life

Lith stared at Lilith while not moving, demanding a proper answer to his questions.

Lilith finally gave in and said with a chuckle, "Mama wanted to see if that new girl is your new love interest or not. And also to just get to know your friends."

Lith smiled and shook his head. He began moving his hips once again, pushing his shaft deep inside the warm abs tight canals and said, "You could've simply asked me, mom. Anyway, your authority is too much. They'll feel a bit awkward, so it's better if you change your ways of meeting them."

Lith wasn't against the idea of his mother meeting his friends. He simply wanted her to do it in a better way so that nobody felt uncomfortable. That was all he was stating.

Lilith nodded her head and placing her hands on Lith's shoulders, kissed his lips and said, "Noted. Anything else?"

Lith shook his head. "Nothing. Let's go back then."

Lilith smiled and responded, "Finish with the quickie first."

Lith, showing a surprised look, said, "Wasn't it supposed to be a greeting? When did we agree on a quickie?"

Lilith chuckled and asked, "So you don't want to have it?"

Lith rolled his eyes. "I never said that."

The two knew each other really well and also what the other person wanted. Fulfilling each other's needs, they walked back into the courtyard after a solid twenty minutes.

Ralph, Dennis, and Miwa, who were in the midst of admiring the whole castle, had their attention diverted back to the mother-son pair.

As the two walked towards the round table, Miwa was greatly shocked to see the huge similarities between Lith and his mother.

The two looked so much like each other that it was astonishing. Also, not to mention…

'SO DAMN TALL!' Miwa exclaimed internally.

Lith was already tall as is, but with Lilith being further taller, it broke all records within Miwa's mind, who had barely seen people above six feet in height.

The average of the Human Continent was five feet and six inches for men and five feet and two inches for women.

Miwa was considered above average as she was 5'3, but wasn't tall whatsoever.

This new world full of giants was really a shocker for the mountain town girl.

Lith and Lilith got seated once again and with a smile on her face, Lilith asked, "So, what are you guys planning?"

At present, Lilith was not being a Queen, but a mother who was interested in knowing her son's friends. That's about it.

The three hesitated to speak, but Dennis cleared his throat to grab everyone's attention and said, "We need to train our cooking skills and are here to discuss that, I believe, Your Majesty."

"Oh, I see. And how are you guys planning to improve your cooking?" Lilith asked further, interested in this topic.

Just like that, Lilith asked many questions and with time, the three got comfortable answering them all.

Not just Dennis and Ralph, even Miwa answered a few questions.

Lilith eventually left the place after she got to know everything there was to these three kids and eased up their tense nerves.

Even though Lilith was gentle and polite, it didn't mean she wasn't an absolute authority.

Nobody in the room could feel her aura, but they just internally knew she was really dangerous and should not be messed with.

Even Miwa, who was immune to people's powerful aura, could feel this.

After she was gone, the tense atmosphere was lifted off and everyone relaxed.

They didn't say anything about them having their tension relieved, but Lith could feel it from their faces and chuckled internally.

A minute later, Miguel and Juan arrived at the scene.

One was fat and short while the other was slim and tall, an overpowered chef duo if one were to say.

"You called, Your Highness?" The fat Juan asked after bowing.

Lith nodded. "Juan, Miguel, there's something important I need to ask you guys."

The two stood erect like spears and thumped their chests.

"Ask anything, Your Highness. Your wish is your command!" The two shouted.

Lith smiled and nodded while Miwa, the not-so-used-to luxury girl thought, 'There are even people willing to do anything for him, damn…'

This was not the first thought she had about these things. She had been amused consistently and paying attention to every little detail.

Lith, having no clue about Miwa's thoughts, ignored her and said to the cooks, "Me and my friends here want to become master chefs. Can you help us achieve it?"

Surprise flashed over the two's faces and they then turned sad. Having a drop of tear threaten to leak out, Juan asked emotionally, "Your Highness… Do you perhaps not like the food we cook?"

"Your Highness, if there is anything bothering you, please tell us! We will do our best to improve and serve you in the best possible way!" Miguel added.

Juan nodded his head aggressively. "Indeed! Indeed! What does His Highness not like? Did the food have less salt? Maybe it lacked richness? Should we add even better butter into the pastries? Does His Highness fancy Human blo—"

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Lith shook his hand and said to the two, not wanting for them to continue their blabbering.

Miwa was here, talking Human blood may tick her off and have her feel uncomfortable. Even though Dennis had a glass of blood right in front of Miwa, it was not known to her whose blood it was.

In any case, these two were too emotional for their own good and had to be stopped.

"You two don't have any issue, so stop feeling low. We—me and my friends—are interested in becoming talented chefs and want to learn how to cook. Also, it would be best if you could help us become that in the shortest time possible since there's an urgent quest awaiting us." Lith elaborated in a slight hurried tone.

"Eh?" Miguel was surprised. "His Highness wants to cook?"

Lith nodded. "That's right. Can you help then?"

Right as Lith asked that, the two servants went into some deep thinking, as if they were ancient philosophers.

Lith had no idea what they were thinking while Dennis and Miwa were anticipating their response with curious eyes and Ralph had a neutral look, completely unbothered.

A few seconds of thinking later, Juan said, "Your Highness, it will take a few years… Are you sure you want to waste your time in this?"

Lith chuckled. "It's not wastage of time if it's an essential skill we are learning. After all, no matter what, cooking is a basic survival skill everyone should know of. Ain't that right, boys?"

The three, including Miwa, nodded their heads.

Miwa was one of the boys now and although she had mentioned that she didn't want to be referred cumulatively together with stupid Dennis and Ralph, Lith's consistent calling made her get used to it.

Juan and Miguel showed a surprised look once again.

"Your Highness, as far as we know, you can cook normal foods. That's pretty much what you would need." Miguel emphasized.

Cooking was a skill that would take many decades to master. Anyone could become a good chef, but not everybody could become a master.

Lith looked at the two with serious eyes. "It doesn't matter how long—"

"Wait, wait. It does!" Miwa exclaimed. "I can't be away from home for more than a few days."

Everyone turned to look at her, making her feel slightly nervous.

However, the nervousness was just there for a split second. Miwa had a look of firmness, indicating that she really wouldn't participate in things if they took too long.

"Why though? Don't you have anyone else to take care of your brother?" Dennis asked.

Even though he was a noble he wasn't tone deaf to most things and asked a genuine question. He was stating: "Why? Aren't there any family members at your place to take care of your brother?"

If there was an average tone deaf noble here, they would mean: "Why? Are there no servants to take care of your brother?"

Nobles didn't understand the average person of the world, but surprisingly, Dennis and Ralph… They were well aware of everything.

This was what stood them apart and was a reason why they were called heirs of Emperor Rank Clans.

Miwa shook her head at Dennis's question. "There's only me."

Lith sighed and said, "Miwa, didn't I say everything will be taken care of? Why are you so worried?"

Miwa tilted her head in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Didn't I say you just need to focus on yourself and forget about everything else when we last met?" Lith replied.

"Uhh… You were actually serious about it?" Miwa asked back.

"Damn…" Lith was surprised. "Did you think I wasn't?"

"No?" Miwa said. "I thought you were joking to—"

Lith shook his hand and stopped Miwa from speaking further. "I wasn't. Don't worry about your brother or even your guardian. You focus on training and developing yourself, everything else will be taken care of."

Miwa was taken aback by such serious statements and was left speechless.

Ralph and Dennis didn't have any change in their expressions. If they were in Lith's shoes and saw Miwa's condition, they would offer her the same thing since she was their good friend.

It's not like their family or clan couldn't afford having a person raise their cultivation.

While Miwa was in a state of befuddlement, Lith turned to Juan and Miguel and said, "As I said, it doesn't matter. Can you make us master chefs?"

Miguel and Juan nodded their heads. "If His Highness wishes, we can begin training anytime."

Lith stood up hearing that and the rest did as well in response.

"Alright, let's start with the training from this very instance."

"Yo, we seriously are going to become master chefs?" Dennis asked in surprise.

"We are." Lith replied.

He turned to the shining sun in the ceiling and said with absolute confidence:

"We'll become the greatest chefs on this planet."
