Vampire's Slice Of Life

After a while, as Lith continued to talk with Arya, he realized that in the past year, she was completely invested in training Alexandra and did nothing else other than look after her.

Lith felt really happy hearing about it and as the talks continued, he just became even more happy.

Alexandra was showing signs of being a great warrior and an assassin. Not just that, she used her head when fighting now and didn't just blindly went with her instincts to kill people.

Arya explained it with such enthusiasm that Lith was also suprised to see this change in his wife. He was about to ask about it but refrained from doing so as he didn't want to ruin Arya's enthusiastic mood.

A while later, the three saw Alexandra finish with her battle.

Arya looked at Lilith and said with a smirk, "Mother, do you want to make a bet?"

Lilith raised an eyebrow in interest. "Go on." She said with a smile.

Arya pointed towards Alexandra who was standing atop her opponents like an immovable object and said, "Let's bet what would Alexandra's mood be when she sees Lith. Will she still have the same seriousness or will it be gone?"

Lilith chuckled. "Are you going to bet saying that Alexandra won't melt when she meets Lith?"

"Of course not. Why would I bet that? I am betting that she would become a submissive cat the moment she sees husband and you'll bet that she would retain her current behaviour." Arya laughed and explained the terms.

Lilith covered her mouth and softly giggled. "If you want to make me lose the bet, just say it, no need to run in circles."

Arya laughed and Lilith did the same as for Lith, he simply shook his head with a smile.

These ladies sure were enjoying themselves and Arya probably had the best bond with his mother as compared to Emilia or Alexandra.

"When will Alexandra arrive?" Lith asked. Her training was over and she should be here, in his opinion.

"In a few minutes." Arya answered, looking at the pond.

Lith nodded in understanding. He then asked, looking around him and then at Arya, "By the way, do you love treasures too like all the other dragons?"

This was a genuine question Lith had. If his wife loved treasures, Lith would be in search of something that might interest her. He had plans to adventure everywhere and would be in look out if Arya said yes.

Arya smiled and asked back, "are you stereotyping my tastes? Do you think that just because your wife is a dragon, she would love treasures?"

Lith rolled his eyes. Now he was starting to understand how his wives felt when he made some shameless comment or jokes.

"Fine, if you aren't like everyone else, then I'll not do what I was going to do." Lith spread his hands and said.

"Hey, I never said I don't like treasures." Arya said and laughed lightly.

Lilith from the sidelines laughed as well as she watched the two banter.

Lith smiled and shook his head. "Okay, I'll ask for one final time wifey. Do you like treasures?"

Arya nodded. "I do. But it has got nothing to do with me being a dragon, it's just a personal preference."

"..."

Lith didn't know what to say about it. He was about to ask more regarding this thing, when he heard some footsteps and looking towards the source, saw Alexandra to have finally arrived.

Alexandra, who was making a visit to Arya after her training, halted right when she saw three familiar people sit around a round table.

"Darling?" For a moment, Alexandra couldn't believe who she was looking at.

Lith smiled as he got called darling after such a long time. He got up and opened his arms for a hug.

"It's me."

"Darling!" Alexandra's mind finally processed what was happening and she ran towards Lith with full speed, eventually jumping on him and hugging him tight as if he would run away if left alone.

"Darling! Darling! Darling! I missed youuuuuu!"

Alexandra hugged Lith tightly and said in a sad yet cheerful tone.

Lith patted her back and said, "I missed you too, honey."

He then showed his neck to Alexandra and said, "You must be really thirsty after a year long break. Drink first, we'll talk more later."

Alexandra, still hugging Lith and having her attached to him like a koala, nodded her head and bit him to drink his blood.

Lilith and Arya looked at each other as they saw Alexandra do her thing and smiled. Alexandra's enthusiasm was just on another level when it came to Lith.

After a while…

Alexandra became calm and sat on a seat beside Lith like a civilized person and started conversing with him.

The first question that Alexandra asked after settling down was,

"When did you wake up, darling?"

Lith smiled and shook his head. It was weird yet funny how everyone asked the same question to him.

Lith explained about it and Alexandra nodded in understanding.

Lith then asked how Alexandra was doing and their conversation for a good few minutes was the two checking each other up.

"So, what are your plans?" Alexandra asked in the midst of their conversation, wanting to know what Lith would be doing now that he woke up.

Lith answered, "I'll be going to the Elven Continent. I have some work there."

"When will you be back?" After asking so, she got close to him and holding his hand, looked him in the eyes and said, "I don't want to be separated again."

Lith patted Alexandra's head and said with a smile, "I don't know the time. But that aside, why do you think you'll be separated? You are always free to visit me anytime you want. You also have your sister there who can bring you to me if you ask her."

Lith was referring to Arya.

Alexandra, as soon as she heard Arya's name, knitted her brows and turned to look at her.

She stared daggers at Arya and said, "Darling, that monster over there just wouldn't stop training me. If I am left alone with her, I'll never be able to meet you."

"Hey, you shouldn't call your cute and beautiful part-time sensei and full time big sister a monster." Arya chimed in and said shaking her finger.

Alexandra clicked her tongue. She looked back at Lith and complained, "Do you know, darling? I was told that I can see you when I am done training. But her damn training would never finish! I have been scammed! I have been wronged! I don't want to be here anymore. Take me with you!"

Alexandra hugged Lith tightly again, afraid that Arya might pull her back and put her in training.

Lith didn't know what to say about this as he had no idea what the situation was. From how much he knew about his wife Arya, she wouldn't do something so cruel to Alexandra.

But he also couldn't disregard Alexandra's words as she probably wasn't lying either.

Lith looked at Arya and asked while patting Alexandra's back who was in embrace, "What's happening?"

Arya smiled and explained, "She's referring to the time you were warring in the Neutral Continent and also the time when you were asleep. Though I didn't bring her to you, I never said no. Infact…"

Arya told Lith about the things regarding Alexandra. Although she didn't say things directly and only talked about the training Alexandra was going through, Lith could read in between the words and understand things easily.

So the situation was that Arya was trying to make Alexandra have some self-control. If not made to, she would immediately leave all work and rush to meet Lith and always be with him.

It was fine to be wanting to be with her husband, but the problem was, Alexandra would become too stupid around Lith and wouldn't learn anything. She would sabotage her own growth if she was with Lith.

Hence, Arya made Alexandra train on a goal basis. If she finished the goals Arya gave her, she would be taken to Lith. As simple as that.

But Arya delayed things in the past year because Lith was asleep and there was no point going to Nightingale.

Alexandra was salty about this thing as for a whole year, she was away from Nightingale and also from Lith and hence her complaints.

After understanding the situation, Lith couldn't help but laugh.

The situation was too wholesome for him but it was also very troublesome for Alexandra's own good at the same time.

Lilith, who listened to everything from the sidelines, also had a smile on her face as she saw how supportive Arya was and the immaturity of Alexandra.

Alexandra was almost the same age as Lith and Lilith couldn't blame her for having such thoughts.

To take Alexandra out of this helpless situation, Lilith looked at the three and said,

"I may have a solution to your problems."
