Vampire's Slice Of Life-Novel

682  Lith Goes To Sleep

Having everyone's attention on her, Lilith continued, "…though I would say this, the answer to your queries is really anti-climactic."

"Spill." Lucifer said hastily.

"I was trying out a spell for my baby and it seems a little mishap happened." Lilith patted Lucy's head and chuckled, letting the people know which baby she was talking about.

Everyone went silent in response. It seemed that Lilith really didn't joke about it being anti-climactic.

Lilith smiled. "Told you."

Agalea smiled and shook her head. "What even were you trying to cause such a big reaction? Many died due to your mishap."

"Did they?" Lilith asked.

Agalea and everyone else nodded their heads.

Lilith chuckled and extended her hand up in the air.

Snap!

She snapped her fingers and brought her hand back down. Chuckling, she asked again, "Are you sure they did?"

Agalea knitted her brows whereas Lucifer's eyelids twitched looking at Lilith flex so hard on everyone.

Agalea took out her phone to check Lilith's statement and a few seconds later, "well… they didn't."

Surprised gasps could be heard from Alea as Agalea mentioned that.

Everyone around the table were dumbfounded while Lith was really surprised to see a Legendary Rank's power on display.

"Guess we have nothing to worry about. I'll take my leave then, Lilith." Alex said calmly and bid everyone farewell.

If all was well and the world wasn't ending, Alex had other matters to tend to.

"You're leaving, old man?" Lucifer asked.

"Yes. Do you want to tag along, dear?"

"Ew, no. Why would I want to go to Heavenly Court?" Lucifer didn't even try to hide her disgust.

Alex smiled and shook his head. He patted Lucifer's head and left, leaving her stupefied.

Looking at her expression, Mayzin from the side said calmly, "what's with this reaction? He's your grandfather, show some respect to him."

"Fuc—"

Bonk!

Mayzin's head chop made Lucifer bite her own tongue and stop.

Lucifer glared at her hatefully and was about to fight her, only to stop when she saw her cute niece staring at her.

Lucifer let go of beating the crap out of Mayzin for now and went towards Alea.

She hugged Alea from behind and sticking her face on hers, said while swaying side to side, "my sweeeet Aleaaaaa. How have you been?"

"Hey, get away from her." Agalea tried to shoo Lucifer away.

"No. Let me have my moment with my precious honeybun." Lucifer didn't back down.

The atmosphere in the courtyard changed from being serious to peaceful and warm, all due to Lucifer herself.

Lilith didn't have to worry about explaining anything further while on the other hand, Lith was impressed with the way things took a turn here.

The ladies had reunited unknowingly and except for Mayzin, everyone here was Lith's partner.

Even Lith was amused knowing just how many people he had filled in this room and wondered… just what would happen if he were to mention about love-making here?

Shaking his head and removing those thoughts from his mind, Lith thought, 'Now isn't the time for this. Mom's condition isn't very good.'

He was right. It would take some time for her to clear her head and thus didn't go that route.

The ladies talked for a good while and eventually left as everyone, Lucifer included, had work to do.

Lucifer had become a godmother to three cute girls and had to take care of them. She didn't get time to watch anime even due to this and was pretty busy.

When everyone left, Lith, Lucy, and Lilith went back to the bedroom to talk about the recent problem.

Lilith made her two children sit beside her and explained that she saw a few things related to her past. Lucy was curious and asked what it was, to which Lilith truthfully replied everything she knew.

Lucy was amazed by the sudden revelation and Lilith didn't tell her the sad stuff, just the one about her having a family and grandmother.

It was at this time that Lith chimed in and insisted that Lucy should know the full truth.

Lilith was worried and looked at Lith with a concerned look.

Lith put his hand on hers and said gently, "Mom, if I was fine, big sis too would be."

Lilith was really worried, but at the end, came to terms with the fact that her children should know the truth as well.

Lilith extended her hand out and pushed Lucy's glabella with her index finger, sending her into a daze and having her experience everything.

Just like her and Lith, Lucy cried at first but then was filled with rage.

Her rage was even more intense than Lilith's, but thankfully, she was not a Legendary Rank otherwise it would be the end of the world.

Once Lucy was out of her trance, it took Lilith and Lith both's support to calm her down and have her relax.

It took them a few hours, but Lucy was finally back to normal.

It was then did the three started having the important conversation.

"What now, mom?" Lith asked.

Lilith took a deep breath and said, "mama has important work. Your body is under a lot of stress, you'll go to sleep in the Royal Graveyard until you're a hundred years old. My dear will handle the continent for ten years, then take a nap for ten years, and repeat it until you've woken up."

"But mom—"

Lilith put a finger on Lucy's lips and shook her head. "My dear, I am not going to hear anything from you. You've become a King Rank at the young age of 500, you too are under stress like baby. You need rest as well. The things I am saying aren't up for negotiation and mama is sorry but, you have to follow this, even if you don't like it."

It was the first time that Lith and Lucy both saw their mother this serious. Things for sure were heated, they both thought.

But being good children, they nodded their heads in response. They didn't want to make their mother worry any more than what she already is feeling.

Lilith kissed the two's foreheads once they agreed and made them suck her blood one last time before they went to sleep.

Once Lith was done drinking blood, he called his wives and lovers and told them that he would be sleeping for a while.

They all felt nothing wrong with it and just asked him to relax properly.

He also talked to his friends and gave them a few instructions on the things they needed to do while he was asleep. They agreed with it and Lith cut the call after wishing them good luck in their cultivation journey.

Everyone was immortal here, a few hundred years meant nothing to them and due to this, everyone was fine with knowing Lith would be gone for around eight decades.

After the calls finished, Lith was then taken to the graveyard again, and with Luna's help, was sent into a coffin and made to sleep.

After Lith was buried and sound asleep, Lilith shot a serious look to Luna and said, "Luna, baby must absolutely not wake up until he's a hundred years old, no matter what happens."

Luna did a deep bow and said, "understood, Madam."

"Help my dear in whatever things she needs and make sure to have her sleep properly as well." Lilith instructed again.

Luna respectfully agreed with it too.

When Lilith felt she had taken care of her children and there would be no harm to them, she vanished from the Royal Castle, her destination unknown.

Three decades passed.

No major change had occurred in the world during this time, except for a few minor ones like a new anime studio called Studio Purple being in the news.

This studio had not made any anime yet, but rumors were such that they would soon be releasing an absolute banger and rise to the top.

Rumours were rumours and not much attention was given to it.

Ralph and Dennis were planning to release their anime soon, but with Lith gone, they decided to delay it and would release only when he was here.

They both were nobles of the highest order, money or far wasn't a concern to them. They could delay things as much as they wanted.

As for Lith's wives, Emilia was still busy with her everyday Principal life in the academy.

She was doing her job so well, the Council of the Neutral Continent were thinking of giving her all the rights to the academy.

It was still just a thought and not something they were thinking of executing anytime soon.

Under Arya, Scelestus was seeing another major rise. Crimes were increasing all over the world due to the underworld becoming strong, but the normal people were also starting to get stronger to counter them and a strange balance was created.

As for Alexandra, she had broken through Half Saint Rank at the age of around 50 and was now aiming for Saint Rank by the age of 100.

Lucy was sleeping beside Lith in another coffin. It was her nap time this decade.

Agalea was busy managing the new administration of her society while Alea continued to do Alea-type things and kept herself busy.

As for Lucifer, she had actually changed and wasn't being a neet. She was going out more often. It was because her three girls — Roxy, Rosy, Ruth — insisted on travelling to beautiful places.

They took Ren with them and were currently on a tour of the Beast Kingdom, enjoying themselves in the land of anime.

And lastly, as for Lilith…
