Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 1092  Tug Of War For Date

VOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM—!

A loud alarm resounded throughout Greenville City as Lith stepped foot in it. ”Your Highness, nooooo!” Hecate exclaimed as she saw Lith. Alexandra immediately went to his side and took a defensive stance, ready to protect her husband for whatever may come. ”Whatʼs happening?” Lith frowned and asked. Hecate went to Lithʼs side and covered him. She was in the midst of casting spells and in a great hurry. Despite that, she responded, ”The capital is really sensitive to males. You wouldnʼt even find a worm thatʼs male here.”

”Oh… crap.”

It hit him now. He wasnʼt disguised as a girl anymore and had triggered the alarms by entering this place. Here was thinking of having a good time with his wife, exploring the streets of Greenville City, eating hotdogs and donuts while admiring the greenery… but things never always go oneʼs way, do they?

Lith held Alexandra and Hecateʼs hands and sent a strand of his spiritual power into the teleportation badge in his pocket.

Space fluctuated around the three and Lith vanished from the spot. The alarm went off and shortly after, a group of witches arrived at the spot Lith was previously at. ”Suspectʼs vanished, senior.” One of the witches said into her mouthpiece. ”Continue the search. Be on the lookout in nearby areas.” A professional voice resounded in her earpiece. ”Roger that, senior.”

The group of witches vanished and went in search of Lith, but alas, they would never succeed in doing so as Lith was back in the Royal Castle, right in the courtyard where he had just parted ways with Arya.

”That was quicker than I thought. Someone seems eager to go on a date, ey?” Arya asked with a smile as she placed her teacup down. Her carefree voice reached Alexandraʼs ears and her eyes lit up. She turned to look at her and called out, ”Big sis!”

Arya got up and opened her arms with a smile. ”Wonʼt give your older sister a hug?”

”Big sis!” Alexandra called out again and ran towards Arya to hug her. She wrapped her arms around her body and placed her head on her shoulder. ”You were gone for so long,” she complained after getting comfortable. Arya rubbed Alexandraʼs back and said, ”Had work, couldnʼt help it. You seem to have grown healthier and prettier in the time I havenʼt seen you.”

”Mm.” Alexandra had a slight blush form on her face and she rubbed her nose on Aryaʼs shoulder in embarrassment. Arya smirked and caressed Alexandraʼs lushly hair. ”Youʼre my little sister and we both share the same husband. Too bad though, Iʼm going on a date with him right now. You wonʼt be able to see him.”

”Huh?” Alexandra broke the hug and stared at Arya with knitted brows. ”What did you say, big sis?”

To make matters clear, Arya walked up to Lith and held his arm from the side. ”Me. Date. Husband. Now.”

”!!!?” All the warmth she got from Arya vanished as Alexandraʼs gaze got colder. She walked up to Lith as well and held his other arm. ”Youʼre not taking darling anywhere. Heʼs mine right now.”

Arya laughed and wore her pitch black glasses. She looked at Alexandra and said, ”Youʼre a million years too young to fight your big sis, Lexa.”

Alexandra pouted in annoyance and pulled Lith away from Arya. ”Letʼs go on our date, darling!”

”Heʼs coming with me, honey.” Arya said with a hearty laugh and pulled Lith to the other side.

Lith smiled helplessly and looked at the ladies sitting around the round table. Lilith and Lucy shrugged and sipped tea while Alea was…

ʼHm? A tower?ʼ

A card tower was slowly being built on the table. Alea was patient with the placement of each card and her complete focus was on this. Freya was giving her helping hand while Luna and Qingyue were busy doing something on their tablet screens. Alexandra and Arya continued to have their tug of war and tried to stretch Lith like string cheese. There seemed to be no end to their conflict, hence Lith intervened by wrapping his arms around the two and saying, ”Ladies, ladies, ladies. Letʼs calm down, shall we?”

His soothing voice calmed the two down and made them look up at him, wondering what he had to say. He better not choose the other, was what was going on their minds as they stared at him. Lith smiled and kissed the twoʼs heads one by one. ”Why fight, when we can go on a date together?”

”No!” Alexandra shook her head. Arya rolled her eyes and pinched Lithʼs abdomen. ”Didnʼt I tell you? I want some alone time, itʼs been a while.”

Lith felt helpless once again. ”Then, how about this? Letʼs do a coin toss. Itʼll be completely fair and you both will have a fifty-fifty chance at it.”

”Iʼll do the tossing for you two, if you agree.” Lilith interjected. ”See. Even mom agrees with it.” Lith clasped his hands and said. Alexandra and Arya thought about it, then nodded their heads. This was better than them fighting like wild cats.

”Okay, choose one.” Lilith said and tossed an amethyst coin with a clinking sound. ”Heads.” Alexandra said quickly. ”Tails for me then.” Arya had no choice but to accept. The coin flew in the air at an unreasonably high speed, flipping so fast that neither Alexandra nor Arya could make out what was happening. The coin soon landed on the ground in front of the two and after some tossing and turning, it landed at tails.

”Ugh.” Alexandra felt physical pain from watching the results. ”Heh.” Arya chuckled heartily and went to console her little sister. She patted her head and said, ”better luck next time.”

”Tsk. Donʼt talk to me.” Alexandra brushed her hand away and went to sit beside Lucy at the round table, accepting her defeat. Lith shook his head and smiled. Some things couldnʼt be helped. ”Letʼs gooooo!” Arya locked her arms with Lithʼs and said while raising her fist cheerfully. The pair of love birds bid the rest farewell and left for their private date. While they were gone, there was a certain someone in the courtyard that was feeling nervous. This young lady in purple witch robes stood at the side, unmoving, and awaited instructions from the people around her, hoping to get dismissed or given some work. Lilith didnʼt make her wait for long and said, ”Have a seat, Hecate.”

Hecate bowed and thanked Lilith. She took a seat at the opposite side, beside Luna and Qingyue, and looked at Lilith. Seated beside her, Lucy crossed her legs and asked, ”What was going on? Why was my little brother with you?”

”Itʼs like this…” Hecate began explaining the things that had transpired. Everyone except Alea listened carefully and tried to ponder over the things Lith was planning. Lucy raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked, ”He made Florencia step down and submit to us?”

”Correction: you made her step down, not him.” Lilith said with a smile. ”What?” Lucy was confused. ”How and when did I do that?”

Hecate replied to that, ”His Highness resembles a lot like Your Majesty when disguised. He may not look completely similar, but Iʼm sure Mother would not be able to point this out.”

Lilith nodded her head. ”Itʼs difficult to tell you two apart. If you two were to take pictures and place them side by side, even I would have trouble differentiating them.”

”Seriously?” Lucy knitted her brows and asked. Was her little brotherʼs disguise this good?

Lilith nodded her head.

”Your Majesty, simply differentiating you from Madam is a challenging task. When you were on live television across the continent, none thought that you werenʼt Madam. Thatʼs the level of resemblance you share with each other.” Luna said with a smile. ”Fufufu…” Lilith rubbed Lucyʼs head. ”Didnʼt I do a good job in making them? No one would be able to tell we arenʼt related. It brings me great joy to see the mini mes Iʼve created.”

Lucyʼs eyebrows twitched at the lame joke while the maids giggled softly. Alea was as focused as before. She had made four floors of the tower with cards by now. They looked like theyʼd collapse due to a single gust of wind, but somehow, she was already moving to create the fifth one!

”Well, Maʼam, I cannot tell what His Highness is planning. I do not possess the necessary strength to be the Queen Mother and—”

”Do you want to?” Lilith cut her off and asked. ”Pardon?” Hecate didnʼt understand. Lilith laidback on her chair and asked leisurely, ”I said do you want to become the Queen Mother?”

”…oh.” Hecate was at a loss for words. Did she want to? She thought to herself. There were many that would kill to be in that position, but was Hecate in the same category as the rest?

The answer was a big no. Being a Queen Mother meant a lot of responsibilities. Hecate did not want that. She wanted the absolute well being of the witches around the world, but did not want to be the one to take responsibility for providing them that. It was too tiring. However, being the Queen Mother, she could actually clear the bad image of her race as she would have all the witches obey her and listen to her. In this manner, she could lead them onto the right path and watch them grow mightier. Them growing would result in lots of innovations and exciting tech. Hecate liked these things and was eager to watch them. It was a difficult decision to make and she took a few minutes to decide. ”So…?” Lilith asked after another minute. Hecate knew she couldnʼt make this almighty being wait. She cleared her throat, bowed, and said, ”If Maʼam insists on this, then my answer is…”
