Vampire's Slice Of Life
chapter-975

…..

A few minutes passed.

In the training hall, Lucifer or her three daughters were yet to notice Lith. Or maybe they had noticed him, but were more focused on their training.

Whatever it be, Lith had no thought to interrupt them. He quietly stood in a corner with Bella and watched them.

The fight between the four mostly appeared like a streak of light. Even at King Rank, Lith was barely able to see what they were doing. Their figures, when appeared, were quite blurry and distorted.

Lith got bored after a point and thought that it was better to do something than sit idly.

Needless to say, the something Lith thought of was cooking. He was a master chef now who was wanted by many deities. With this newfound skill, Lith decided to put it to good use.

Bella was well-versed with every nook and cranny of the castle. She guided Lith to the luxurious kitchen of the Demon Queen.

Walking inside, the entire kitchen was tiled with expensive dark marbles. There were many counters with sinks, and lots of cabinets everywhere. A brick chimney for open fire baking was also present along with a fireplace for barbecue and grilling.

Lith was amused by this. It was certainly over the top for a kitchen, but it was expected of Lucifer. She had all the traits of the seven sins with gluttony being one of them. She also had a natural love for food, so it made sense why there's a kitchen here.

Bella guided him towards the utensil drawers and said, "Lady Lucifer really likes her food. Adriel is the one who cooks for her usually, and if she is not the one doing it, M'lady starts snacking."

Lith pulled out a black apron from his ring and chuckled while putting it on. "It's good that she likes food. I'll cook her and her daughters something. They'll like it as a post-workout snack."

"Please let me know if His Highness needs anything," Bella said.

Lith nodded and got to work.

…..

A blazing kick landed right at Lucifer's face. It was blocked by her forearms, but right then, a sharp claw threatened to pierce her spine, and a fist was coming at her chest.

Lucifer flipped in the air and avoided the blows. While midair, she let a translucent white barrier of Dark energy envelope the three.

The barrier captured them and shrunk instantly, squeezing the three girls together and making them gasp in pain.

Lucifer landed on her feet and watched them with an expressionless face.

The barrier shrunk fully and with a pop sound, burst apart, making the three girls plop to the ground.

The three breathed heavily and lay curled up on the ground like deflated balloons.

Lucifer walked up to them and squatted down, a small smile appearing on her face. "Good job, you three. You've gotten better over the years, but still far away from giving a single scratch to mama."

"Mom…" Roxy tried to push the ground and get back to her feet. Lucifer gave her a hand, and with a grunt, she sat down cross-legged. "This wouldn't be the situation if we fought together!"

Instead of scolding or taunting, Lucifer laughed softly and ruffled Roxy's shoulder-length orange hair. "You're a million years too young to be challenging your mom."

Roxy grumbled in annoyance but didn't say anything.

"Mommy…" A weak voice called out from the ground.

Lucifer saw it was the black-haired Rosy who was struggling to get up. Beside her there was Ruth, who had completely given up on getting up and was napping. Her speed of falling asleep was astonishing.

Lucifer helped Rosy get up and also woke up Ruth. This was not the right place to nap, she could do it in her bedroom after washing up.

"Mumma, sleep…" Ruth yawned and said with her eyes drooping, clearly still half asleep.

"You can't sleep…" Lucifer paused saying that as a warm, savoury aroma hit her nose.

It had clearly affected the Cerberus girls too as their noses were in the air, sniffing the strange aroma.

"Oh, tasty…" Ruth woke up from her nap and said while sniffing the air.

Turning her head to the source, Lucifer saw Lith standing in a corner of the training hall, with a cart full of food.

The food was covered so Lucifer didn't get to see the inside.

Noticing her gaze, Lith waved his hand and gestured to his aunt to come closer.

"Come with me, girls," Lucifer said and made invisible arms help the three get up and walk with her.

"Took you long enough, aunt," Lith commented the moment Lucifer appeared in front of him.

Lucifer sighed. "Tell me about it."

She couldn't help it either. Training took time.

"What's with the tasty aroma?" Lucifer asked, looking at the food cart.

Lith smiled and uncovered a plate, letting steam erupt and reveal the dish.

Lucifer raised her eyebrows as she saw a plate full of tender lobster meat covered with various sauces.

Uncovering another plate made smoke erupt and on the plate she could see grilled meat served with some soft grained bread.

"Damn… I knew you were training for this, but getting a firsthand experience is sure amazing," Lucifer commented while wiping the drool from the corner of her lips.

Roxy, Rosy, and Ruth wiped the drool from their mouths too and stared at the food. Their gesture was not a single bit different from Lucifer's.

Lith blinked in amusement and thought, 'Shit, these poor girls. They're getting affected by Lucifer!'

"Can we?" Rosy pointed at the food and asked Lucifer.

"Go ahead," Lucifer said. "But don't forget the manners, okay?"

Roxy and Rosy nodded their heads while Ruth hehe'd her way into forking a big piece of meat.

Lucifer shook her head and ignored this.

Lith looked at the Roxy and Rosy, then saw them elegantly cut a piece of meat and eat it.

Lucifer clearly had taught them a lot of things.

Turning to look at her, he saw that even Lucifer was following her own advice. She did the cutting and biting elegantly, like a sophisticated noble lady.

However, the instant she felt the taste…

"Oomph…" Lucifer closed her eyes and an involuntary moan escaped her mouth.

"Huff… Huff…" Beside her, Roxy and Rosy let out hot air from their mouths as they tasted the boiling hot meat.

Once their huffing and puffing was gone, they too moaned like Lucifer and closed their eyes, savouring the taste of the food.

Watching the scene made Bella raise her eyebrows in surprise. 'His Highness sure is skilled.'

Making even a Supreme Rank feel good from food? Now this was out of her expectations!

The ladies' delighted expression made Lith happy. He did not feel much before when serving random strangers during his training, but watching his actual loved ones enjoy the food he made… this was a feeling on a completely different level.

Lith could sort of understand why Juan and Miguel used to get so emotional when they cooked for him.

A few minutes passed in silence as Lucifer and her daughters focused completely on food.

Lucifer was the first to finish up. She wiped her mouth and said to Lith, "Whatever you were trying to achieve by doing this, I can happily say that you've achieved. Asketh, what thou need from this Queen?"

Lith chuckled and said, "Go change, aunt. I want to take you out on a date."

Cling!

Roxy dropped the fork she was holding and turned to look at Lith. Rosy did so too and it was only Ruth that was busy eating.

The two girls started glaring at him.

Lucifer took notice of this and flicked their foreheads. "Mommy is a big girl and can have a boyfriend. But you two, don't even think about it. You're too small."

"Owf!" The two rubbed their foreheads and yelped. "Mom, it was you who said boys bad, don't date boys."

"Ah, well…" Lucifer's lips twitched. "Boys are indeed bad. Have you seen me hang out with any? No, right? Then my point stays. Anyway, we'll have this talk later on, don't you two wander off in search of boys while I'm gone. I'll be really angry, okay?"

Lith blinked, Bella did too, and so did the Cerberus girls.

They were totally dumbfounded by Lucifer's speech!

What sort of teaching was she giving them? What even was this?

There for sure was a backstory to it, but Lucifer dragged Lith away from the girls and didn't give him a chance to speak more on this.

She took him to her room and immediately pushed him down on the bed, falling on top of him right after.

"Fuck! You don't know how much I've been craving this!" Lucifer started unbuttoning Lith's shirt.

"Wait, wait, wait. Hold on for a second, aunt," Lith suddenly protested.

Lucifer furrowed her brows. "What? You don't want to have sex? Don't tell me you actually want to take me out on a date."

"I do! I wasn't kidding when I asked you to change," Lith said.

"…" Lucifer was dumbfounded. "You know you don't need to do slow burning to warm me up. I'm already dripping down there, all you have to do is pound me senseless and you're good to go."

Lith shook his head. "That won't be very nice. Don't worry, I assure you, this date won't be like some average teenagers'. It is a hundred percent sexual one, you'll enjoy it."

Lucifer frowned and pondered over it. This was a tempting offer, she won't lie.

Watching her get coaxed, Lith smiled and added, "I'll also let you do whatever you want. No resistance this time."

Lucifer raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Whatever, you say?"

"Whatever, indeed."

"Good!" Lucifer clapped her hand. "I'll get ready then. Get out of my room."

Being told so, Lith was immediately kicked out of the room without any second thought.

Patting his clothes, Lith chuckled and shook his head. "It's going to be a long night…"
