Vampire's Slice Of Life

"...it's where you are."

A sweet feeling swelled up in Lith as he heard that. What Arya had just said resonated with his own feelings and he could tell exactly what she was feeling when she said that.

Lith took a step forward and held Arya's face. He kissed her on the forehead and said the three magical loving words that Arya had been waiting to hear for more than a year.

As Lith said that, Arya felt butterflies in her stomach. The excitement she felt, not being able to contain it in her properly made her kiss Lith back. Not on the forehead, but on his lips. 

Arya's kiss was strong and passionate and it was happening with such intensity that it made Lith wonder what even he did to get such a good reaction from his wife.

Sometimes one forgets that even the simplest of things was enough to make your other half happy and Lith was that someone right now.

Although he didn't get it, he hugged Arya back and let her do as she pleased. If his wife was happy, he was happy.

After a few minutes of kissing and feeling satisfied, Arya let go of Lith. She then walked with him, hand in hand, and roamed her castle.

They conversed as they walked. Lith was checking up on Arya and Arya was doing the same as well.

While conversing, they soon reached the Eye of the Death Dragon. This time…

Lith was with the Death Dragon herself.

Standing at the most tallest point of the castle, Arya and Lith gazed at the vast territories of the dragons.

Although Lith had been here once before, this time as he was with Arya, it felt just as special as the first time he was here.

It was a weird feeling that Lith couldn't describe but he felt as if he was looking at the territories for the first time, despite being here a few hours ago already and watching them.

Arya, having her waist held by Lith and hugging him from the side, pointed towards a certain place.

"Do you see the blue horizon there?" She asked, to which Lith nodded his head.

Arya smiled and continued, "That place is the Water tribe territory. I've spent my childhood in that place." 

"Oh?" Lith turned to look at Arya as he heard that, his interest being piqued by her words.

Arya chuckled and gazed at the blue horizon, giving a side view of hers to Lith.

As her bluish-silver hair fluttered lightly in the breeze, she said with a calm yet a proud look, gazing at the horizon, "One day, we'll pay a visit to that place together."

Lith, not understanding the meaning behind Arya's words, said, "We can go now if you want to."

Arya looked at him and chuckled. She took out her black sunglasses and putting it on, said patting Lith's head, "You need to first understand and know me fully to have access to my childhood things."

Arya had a lot of secrets on her, one of the many being that she was the Ruler of the Underworld and also owned Scelestus.

Lith had no idea about it and he didn't even know who the Nine Roses Hotel belonged to.

Arya thus wanted Lith to uncover those things first. And while he would do that, Arya would do the same thing with Lith as well. She knew that her husband may have a few secrets on him as well and asking him to know herself also meant she was asking herself to know Lith better.

"I don't understand you?" Lith asked Arya as he didn't get the hidden meaning behind his words.

Arya simply looked at him and said with a light shrug, "I have no idea."

Lith was momentarily confused. But then he thought that the mysterious air that his wife was trying to create was probably to have some fun with him. So he let go of his thoughts and nodded his head.

His wife was a Supreme Rank, let alone an immortal. She may probably be bored and wanted to have some fun and so she could be saying those things, Lith thought to himself.

Plus, being a Supreme Rank, there could be many secrets that Arya may be having with her.

Lith was pretty sure about it since, if he recalled correctly, he didn't even know about his own mother properly. So there was a lot that the Supreme Ranks may be hiding.

Lith knew full well that him not knowing his mother properly was related to his rank. He could ask any question and he knew that his mother would definitely answer it truthfully. But the problem that lay with him was that… 

He literally had no idea what to ask.

What was that Lith wanted to know about his mother that she hadn't told him yet and what that his mother may be hiding? These were the questions questioning the questions that Lith had.

Not having a reply to Arya's response, Lith simply hugged Arya tighter and continued to gaze at the vast territories.

The two embraced each other and silently watched the gray and dark world in front of them. 

Having the ruler of these places in his arms, that said ruler being his beloved wife and not to mention, the responsibilities she held, all amazed Lith and brought a certain warm and pride filled feeling in him.

He was proud of his wife and was happy that he was with someone like Arya.

A few days passed.

Lith was back in Nightingale after spending time with his wives. Now just his mother was remaining with whom he hadn't spent time yet.

But before that, Lith had to deal with a few things.

He walked through the hallways of the gigantic castle and reached the outer area. As he did, he heard the sounds of someone breathing heavily along with metal clanging together.

Lith was in a dark corridor and in front of him was a bright entrance. As he walked through the entrance…

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" 

Someone was laughing hysterically and there was no other madman among the Royal Servants who would laugh like that other than the Emperor Rank Demon, Ruben himself.

Ruben was training with Neo, it was obvious who was at the struggling side and who was chilling.

Neo, appearing like a teen in his late puberty, had long black hair and was wearing black daoist robes. His magenta red eyes emitted radiance that showed how blood-thirsty he was for Ruben's blood as he clashed with Ruben.

His lustrous hair fluttered in the air as he danced to the fluctuations of the Destruction elemental energy and hit Ruben. He was born from Destruction and being so attuned to it, he very easily controlled the energy and made swift movements to attack Ruben.

But, despite being so talented and born from energy itself, the opponent in front was a demon among demons, a highly vile and person loathed by the whole world.

There wouldn't be anyone who didn't know who Ruben was. They may have forgotten, but people for sure knew about him.

Except for Lucifer, there was only one person below the Supreme Rank realm who was a master in the laws of Destruction — that being was Ruben.

But Ruben's brilliance aside, this past year had been very fruitful for Neo.

Neo was not only trained by Ruben how to charm ladies, how to fight, and in the ways of assassination, his EQ was also raised to a high degree by Ruben.

But all the things Neo had learnt, that wouldn't be known by just mere words.

Lith knew about it as well. He was told that Neo knew this and that, but only when in action would Lith truly realise Neo's potential and how good of a mentor Ruben was.

Sweating heavily, Neo couldn't put even a single scratch on Ruben, let alone injuring him. He was eventually beaten by him and was sent crashing down on the ground, where he lay flat and unmoving.

A few minutes passed with Neo not moving.

This caused Lith to knit his brows and be concerned.

'Did Ruben kill this guy in excitement?' Lith thought. He immediately closed his eyes to check the mind sea and after a few seconds, sighed in relief.

Lith walked towards the lying Neo and standing beside him, looked up in the sky and asked, 

"Are you perhaps planning on killing this guy"?

Ruben laughed as he heard that and coming down from the sky, he kneeled in front of Lith and stopping his laugh, said politely and subserviently, 

"Greetings, Your Highness."
