Vampire's Slice Of Life
chapter-911

?The Angel Kings in the court felt they were hearing a somewhat familiar voice while the King of Angels had his calm eyes twitch.

The dust eventually cleared up and out appeared a majestic tall figure, clad in a royal black dress, matching her black hair and eyes.

The ancient red horns on her head were a stark contrast to the overall black attire and after a single look at her, the entirety of the Angel Kings felt a chill down their spines.

"T-T-The Demon Queen!?!" The Angel Kings exclaimed in shock.

"How is this possible? How can she go past all security!?" People argued.

Lucifer shook her head and said, "If this was my place, there would've been a war already and not stupid questions being asked."

"What—"

"Silence." A calm yet domineering voice resounded in everybody's ears.

Turning around, the Angel Kings saw the Heavenly Emperor still sitting and being worry free, making them wonder how he could be so collected even in such dire situations.

Alex looked at his subjects and said, "The court is dismissed for today. You may all leave."

The Angel Kings were surprised, but being totally submissive to their king, they all bowed and left, walking past the Demon Queen.

The many Angel Kings felt a disgusting aura of Death, Destruction, and Darkness from the Demon Queen, but it was so powerful that it brought about a chill down their backs, making them walk past her quickly.

While the Angel Kings walked away, Alex stood up from his majestic throne and walked down gracefully, letting his long blonde hair fall freely on his shoulders.

His eyes were still as calm and serene as before, despite Lucifer's explosive entry and the mild chaos occurring in the court.

Lucifer watched her old man slowly walk towards her and putting her hand on her waist, said, "What's with the slow walk? Have your old bones given up?"

A few Angel Kings, who were on their way to leave, overheard this statement and had many alarm bells ring in their minds.

Firstly, they could not believe whether this statement was just said or not, and secondly, they were too afraid to turn around and cross check it.

Thinking it was just their head being funny, they quickly left the place, not wanting to get in between two experts' clash.

Once everyone was gone, Alex reached the spot in front of Lucifer.

He was quite tall, a bit more than two meters in total, and Lucifer appeared half the size in front of him, despite being tall herself.

Lucifer's finger was slender and hourglass-like while Alex had a V taper, broad shoulders, slim waist, and a lean body.

He appeared so domineering that one may mistake him as Lucifer's enemy, which… wasn't wrong… if thought from Lucifer's perspective, that is.

This damn old man of hers always pestered her to work hard, do this, do that, and never let her relax… if he wasn't an enemy of hers, Lucifer didn't know who else was!

Knitting her brows, Lucifer looked up at Alex, wanting to say something, but right then…

Bonk!

"Owf!" Lucifer gasped and held her head, after feeling a sharp pain from the head chop Alex gave her.

"My dear, I've told you to not be a public nuisance. It does not suit you as the ruler of all Demons and Devils." Alex said calmly.

Lucifer looked up at him hatefully and clicking her tongue, said, "Curses, old man! Are you looking for a fight?"

Alex flashed a small smile at Lucifer and ignoring the curses hailed at him, patted her head and asked gently, "Do you want some tea and pastries?"

Lucifer's eyes twitched hearing that. This old geezer was not taking even a single word from her seriously, was he?

From Lucifer's perspective, she was a mighty ruler, a strong woman who ruled over two major races and with many secrets.

She was capable enough to see her grandfather eye to eye right now, and that's what she thought was happening.

However…

From Alex's perspective, what he was looking at was a little girl with small red horns on her head.

This cute young girl was just as rebellious as ever and nothing had changed for a long time.

If Lucifer knew about this, the embarrassment she would feel would make her topple the whole Angel Continent!

But, she didn't know, so things were all good.

To her grandfather's offer of tea and pastries, Lucifer simply nodded her head. "There's something important I need to talk to you about."

Lucifer was here on business, it was not time to fool around. Thus, for the first time in a while, she talked seriously to her old man.

Alex did a slight nod and snapping his fingers, got Lucifer and himself transferred to a vibrant and calm courtyard.

The two were sitting by a round table, under the warm sun, with the temperature being neither too hot nor too cold, and around them was a garden full of colorful flowers.

The place reeked of Life and Light. Any mortal here would feel joy and harmony as it literally was a courtyard in heaven.

However, Lucifer showed an annoyed look and said, "Ugh… I feel nauseated."

A worried expression surfaced Alex's calm face. "My bad…" He said softly and snapped his fingers again, transferring them to another location.

The bright sky was replaced with darkness, the moon replaced the sun, and the garden of flowers was switched with a cemetery of death.

The place reeked of Darkness and Death, something which would make any mortal feel scared and have suicidal tendencies.

In Lucifer's case however, her annoyed expression relaxed and looking around, she said with a sigh, "You don't have to change everything completely."

Alex, possessing a calm expression on his face, had a teapot in his hands out of nowhere and was pouring tea in a cup.

"It's fine. This is the Angel of Death's territory, I'm used to it."

"Here, your tea." Alex handed Lucifer a cup of hot tea.

Since he was the King of Angels, it was only natural that he was comfortable around all other elements.

There was an Angel of Death, an Angel of Destruction, and so on and so forth. Their territories were also the only ones in the Angel Continent possessing Death, Darkness, and Destruction elements.

Lucifer took the tea from her grandfather and taking a sip, placed the teacup down and took out a scroll.

She placed it on the table and said, "Go through this. It's prepared by Lilith."

Instead of taking the scroll, Alex poured himself some tea and while doing so, asked, "It's for me?"

"No." Lucifer said it straight. "It's for me. Go through it."

Alex put the teapot down and taking hold of the teacup, asked calmly, "Having some trust issues with her on something?"

Lucifer shook her head. "Those are some very old days you're talking about. I trust her completely now."

"I see." Alex said and took a sip of tea. "Then, do you want my opinion on it?"

Being asked two questions in a row and not doing what Lucifer had asked to do would incite a major reaction from her.

That would be the case if it was a normal day.

Today, Lucifer simply shook her head and said, "No, I just want you to go through it."

"Okay." Alex said softly and took the scroll to read what was on it.

Alex's calm gaze scanned through the scroll's content and a surprised shimmer flashed in the blue oceanic eyes of his.

It didn't go unnoticed by Lucifer and a small smirk formed on her face.

After about ten minutes of silence, Alex took a deep breath and calmly began folding the scroll again.

"A great friend you have there, my dear." Alex said in a gentle tone.

This was the highest form of praise anyone could ever get from him and Lucifer could feel her grandfather's happiness emerging from this one single sentence.

She chuckled and shaking her head, said, "Not a friend, but a sister."

Alex nodded lightly. He gave her the scroll back and taking a sip of tea, said, "Good luck on your endeavours, grandpa will be cheering for you from Heaven."

Lucifer smiled in response and then took out another scroll from out of nowhere.

She placed it on the table and said, "Lilith has a message for you."

"A message? From the Vampire Queen?" Alex was surprised. Now this was news, he thought.

"Just read it, will you?" Lucifer yawned and got up from her spot.

Alex took the scroll and began reading it.

In just a few seconds, Alex's attention was hooked and noticing this, Lucifer sneakily made her way behind his back, then with an evil grin, wriggled her fingers.

Magically, in her hands appeared scissors and a comb, and using those, she cut Alex's lush blonde hair.

In just five minutes, Lucifer was done with her shenanigans and went back to her seat, while Alex was still busy reading the scroll.

Ten minutes later, Alex put the scroll down and turned to look at Lucifer.

Just as Lucifer saw his complete face with his hair, she covered her mouth and, "Pfft…"
