Vampire's Slice Of Life
chapter-311

Emilia didn't hesitate and had a taste of the stew from the saucer Lith was holding.

After she was done taking a taste, Lith asked her how it was and Emilia thought for a bit and answered, "even though very little ingredients are used, it still tastes amazing. The salt and pepper content is proper and I don't think there's any problem."

Lith smiled hearing that. Emilia sure was learning very fast.

He had a taste from the same saucer Emilia had without any hesitation and after analyzing the stew, he nodded and said, "everything is indeed as you said. It seems you're learning very fast, Miss Emilia."

Emilia nodded. She was happy that Lith felt she was learning fast.

The stew got fully cooked after a while and Lith poured in a bowl for Emilia and himself. He gave Emilia's bowl to her and also gave her a piece of bread and had one for himself.

Emilia dipped the bread into the stew and as it softened, she had it.

"Mhm." Emilia hummed in satisfaction.

Lith smiled looking at Emilia feeling so content with the food he made. He too dipped the bread into the stew and bit onto it.

A bit of stew dripped down from the corner of Lith's mouth as he bit onto it and Emilia noticed it.

She looked at Lith and Lith looked back at her, a bit confused as to why she was looking at him.

Emilia didn't say anything and simply bent forward and wiped the stew off of Lith's face. The stew was on her hand and she simply sucked on her fingers and ate it.

Lith was dumbfounded noticing this. 'What in the world is she doing? Did she perhaps not understand that this is an intimate gesture? Or is she perhaps interested in me?'

Lith couldn't figure out what it was. This gesture was sending mixed signals to him.

Meanwhile Emilia, who had just tasted the stew, suddenly realized what she did. A slight blush appeared on her face but since she was in front of Lith, she didn't want to show it to him as he may tease her for it.

'Why did I do that… Don't tell me… I like– no. I did that because food shouldn't be wasted. But then… it dripped down from his lips… No! No! It was just me trying to not waste food! That's it! I don't like him or anything!'

Emilia had an internal debate with herself. Though she may not admit it, subconsciously she had started liking him. The only thing that made her not admit it openly was that she felt that the age gap was too much between them and she was a Seraphim whereas Lith was a vampire.

Their love wouldn't work because if she did 'that' thing with Lith, she would fall from grace and would become a fallen angel. She would have a pair of black wings among the many pairs of bright colored wings on her back and that would signify that she wasn't someone who had complete faith in Light.

This thing would make all the devotees who worshipped her lose faith and in the worst case scenario, many would go mad and become irrational monsters.

Faith was a much more powerful thing in this world than Lith could even think of. Faith acted as an anchor to keep every being stable.

The weak worshipped the strong and the strong worshipped the elements, that's how this world worked.

As for the strongest, they had no need of an anchor. They were stable themselves and because of their habits of worshipping elements when they were weak, they too, in some cases, worshipped the elements despite becoming the strongest.

Alex was a good example of this. There's no need for him to worship Light but he still does that because old habits are hard to die.

Emilia becoming a fallen would be devastating news for many and Emilia knew about this. Thus, subconsciously she rejected any thoughts of being with Lith, even though her heart said something else to her.

Lith could see that Emilia was zoned out for some reason. But he chose to not disturb her. He instead had his fill of stew and after he was done, he noticed that Emilia had finished her bowl of stew as well.

"Want some more?" Lith asked with a smile.

Emilia looked at Lith and blushed slightly. Only she knew what was going on in her mind to have such a reaction. But hiding it, she nodded and gave her bowl to Lith.

Lith poured in more stew to her and Emilia finished it as well within a few minutes.

Lith parted his ways with her after they were done eating and cleaning up the surroundings.

He teleported back to his room in the Shadow River Sect and when night descended, he, like before, slept with Alexandra soundly.

…..

Lucas's dorm, Abalax World Academy.

Lucas was looking out through the window of his dorm and had his brows knitted and a frown on his face.

"Why, just why didn't I get any call from the Shadow River Sect regarding this thing? I gave them such good news and they didn't even reply? What happened?"

"The maid, from what I heard, was given a secret technique of the sect and many cultivation resources. She, after cultivating diligently for years went on to become a King Rank and lived her life lavishly from then on."

"I had no need for the resources but I needed that technique. It was something which, even till my… let's say, death, was something that was available only to the sect members and not present anywhere else in the world."

"Just what the hell happened to the sect officials? Are they stupid or something?"

"System, do you know why there's a delay in my reward?"

[Analyzing host's question… answering…]

[No.]

"Tsk. Fucking useless." Lucas thought and got back to sit on his table.

He worked for a bit there but he became restless for some reason. Thus, for that, he went outside to take a stroll to calm himself.

…..

Lenz City, Espat.

Lucas teleported in an alley and walked out of it to take a stroll in Lenz City.

He was in the suburbs of the city and was roaming around the streets, looking at many things present here.

It had not been even a few minutes since he started walking when an old man walked towards him.

The old man had cheap black clothes wrapped around his body and he had a long white beard. He was carrying a flag with him that was black in color with one word written in white on it—Destiny.

The old man walked towards Lucas and said to him,

"Young man, there's a fateful encounter waiting for you."
