Vampire's Slice Of Life

Lith politely explained that the current situation in the Elven Continent made him feel interested. He then asked her if he could join the Elven administration and have a look at things on the ground level.

Lith's explanation and him politely asking such a question fascinated Agalea. Not just her, even Mayzin and Lucifer were the same.

Lucifer was surprised to see that Lith apparently wasn't as shameless as she thought of him to be. He fit the profile of a reserved noble but without any hint of arrogance or haughtiness. Just plain curiosity and the willingness to learn more.

Lucy and Alea's attention was on Lith as well now as they heard him say that.

As for Lilith, she was just looking at him with a smile and not bothering herself in between the two's conversation. Whatever the two talked about, it was between them.

Agalea, before answering Lith, turned to look at Lilith sitting beside him and said with an amused expression,

"I have to say sis, you've raised both of your children really well." 

She commended Lilith for her upbringing. Lith was so polite with everything and wasn't arrogant. His tone didn't carry even a hint of authority despite him being the son of the strongest being in the world.

Lith was down to earth and humble despite being just a child. Agalea liked that. His impression in front of her improved greatly.

Lilith chuckled and pinching Lith's cheek from the side, said, "He's a cutie, isn't he?"

Agalea chuckled in response and Mayzin flashed a small smile as well from the side.

Lucy and Alea were all smiles too, except for Lucifer who was suspiciously looking at the mother-son duo, being fully aware that they had done forbidden things before.

Everyone ignored Lucifer though and went on with their conversation.

Agalea turned to look at Lith and said with a smile, "I am happy to see that you're so eager to learn new things and you're my only nephew, I can't possibly say no to you, can I?" 

Lith put his palm on his chest and bowed slightly in courtesy while still being seated. "My gratitude to aunt." 

This was a semi-formal way of saying thank you as Lith couldn't make it too formal because she was his aunt and also not too informal because he had just met her for the first time and didn't know how close they were.

"The hell? I didn't get such thanks before when I taught you things." Lucifer chimed in and spit venom into the sweet conversation.

Lith looked at her and knitted his brows remembering the way she had taught him things.

But then his brows eased as something struck him and he said with a smile, "Ah, I didn't properly say thank you? No worries. Meet me later in private, aunt. I'll ensure I properly show my gratitude to you." 

Agalea, Alea, and Lucy, these three didn't understand the underlying meaning behind Lith's words as they weren't in the know of Lucifer's relationship with Lith.

As for the ones that did know, Lilith smirked in response while Mayzin thought what shameless thing could the two possibly do together?

Lucifer eyed Lith suspiciously and said, "For a second I was sold out for your good boy image."

Lith rubbed his non-existent stubble on his chin and said with a curious look, "What do you mean, aunt? I don't understand." 

"Forget it." Lucifer shook her hand and said.

"Anyway…" Feeling the conversation between Lucifer and Lith was over, Agalea chimed in. 

She turned to look at Lith and asked, "So nephew Lith, when will you be joining me? And do you have any position in your mind?"

"Hmm…" Lith, being in the thinking position as before, now seriously was pondering over what position should he be in.

At this moment, Lilith put herself into the conversation and said with a smile, "I think being the your aide would be the best place for him to know everything."

"Oh?" Agalea asked curiously.

Lith too looked at his mother curiously, not understanding why she would put herself in the conversation at this moment out of all.

Lilith, with the same smile as before, continued, "let him handle all your work. He'll learn faster and also understand the stress someone at the top goes through. Making him your aide gives him the same responsibilities you hold."

"He can make decisions for you and tone down your work. All you have to do is execute and implement his decisions. This not only gives him an overview of all things, it'll also have you be free from the unstable situation and you get to spend more time with Alea."

"Win-win from both sides, if I say so."

Agalea nodded her head as Lilith's reasoning made sense.

Lith didn't have anything to say to it because his mother was right but then, he also wasn't sure if he could properly handle everything.

As for Lilith, she had her motives for putting Lith in that place. She was internally smirking knowing the future would be spicy and entertaining and she couldn't wait to watch Lith do things in the Elven administration.

After giving things a thought, Agalea said, "All that you said makes sense, sis. But, are you sure he'll be able to make proper decisions? I mean, he's a child and not an adult by even the Elven standards." 

Lilith chuckled. "You don't have to worry about it. Just give it a shot. After two or three times if you feel his decisions aren't making sense and the situation is becoming more unstable, you can take the baton from there." 

"Alright." Now this made more sense to Agalea.

'Well, my mother sure knows what lies in my best interests.' Lith thought to himself.

The conversation then went on for a good while and Lith now decided to part ways with them and meet his friends in the party.

Lith said his goodbyes to the people in the room and was about to leave when Alea suddenly said,

"Little cousin, wait! Don't go!"
