Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 1007 Please Spare Me!

”A-are you sure this is okay?”

Ojas asked as he saw Lith walk beside him, carrying a woman on his shoulder as if sheʼs a sack of potatoes.

Before they left the tavern, he went to what seemed like a random table and picked a drunk woman up. He didnʼt even wake her or ask for consent, just straight up kidnapped her.

”Donʼt worry. Itʼs fine.”

His aunt was genuinely passed out after gulping down a few bottles of cheap whiskey. Lith had to ask in the family group chat whether it was normal.

To his surprise, his mother and aunt Agalea said that it is indeed normal. Mayzin was a professional alcoholic and loved cheap liquor and food. During her younger adventuring days, she was a poor lass and struggled to even amass money for food.

Some days she had to fight monsters in a dungeon on an empty stomach and even go to sleep like that. Her gear was as good as trash and at any given point if one found her, she could be seen with a lot of bruises and cuts.

Alcohol was cheap and made her forget about her sorrows. In a drunken state, a home wasnʼt needed as you could simply pass out in some corner of a dirty alley.

It was a surprise how she didnʼt get assaulted or molested by people in such a state. Lith was curious to ask about it, but time was of essence and this story could be continued some other day.

Though, one thing was for sure. His dragon aunt was the literal definition of rags to riches.

Currently, she was in a defenseless state on his shoulder and genuinely sleeping. If Lith wanted to, he could take advantage of her, but of course, he was a gentleman and not someone who would do such a thing.

His motto was: ”If you canʼt have a girl or a harem by simply being cool, then you donʼt deserve the girl or the harem.”

Mind control, force, blackmailing… all such things were used by people who didnʼt have any game.

With such thoughts to himself and his aunt on his shoulder, Lith walked with Ojas to their hiding spot in a forest area on the outskirts of Semohr.

When they located a boulder half the size of an adult giant lying by a cliff, Ojas asked Lith to stay behind and gathered spiritual power into his palm to strike at it.

Rumble. Rumble.

Rocks moved at the base of the cliff, revealing a cave entrance so big that it made Lith appear like an ant in front of it.

”Letʼs go.”

Inside the cave, it was dark for the first few hundred meters, and then a greenish-yellow light from algae and mosses lit up the path.

Mayzin showed signs of waking up as they were about to reach. It would be bad if she found herself hung up on his shoulder like that, so Lith shifted her in a piggy back position.

The cave was humid and warm while Lithʼs body was cold. Feeling the soothing chill, Mayzin unconsciously wrapped her arms around him tighter and glued her face to his neck. It was quite the sight.

”Weʼre here.”

Ojas halted and said as they stood at a dead end.

Lith quietly watched him as he did swift hand gestures to cast a magic circle.

A blue barrier manifested in front of them and Ojas asked Lith to follow him.

Passing through the barrier, in Lithʼs sight appeared a magnificent underground town with a high ceiling, illuminated by the golden glow of magic lamps.

Giants with a height of two storey buildings could be seen walking around the area. The normal-sized people were overshadowed by their figures and appeared like black dots from afar.

Ojas reminded Lith to not bump into anyone accidentally and watch his step, then took off to the place Gunther was in.

As they walked on the streets, even with a towering figure of almost two meters, Lith appeared tiny. The chances of him bumping into a Giant were nil, but the same couldnʼt be said about the other party as they couldnʼt see what was below them.

There were times when Ojas and Lith almost got crushed under the foot of these guys, but eventually, they made their way towards an intricately carved stone building.

Inside of the building was floored with the finest of white marbles while the high ceiling had jade-colored sandstones, cooling the interiors.

”Haah!”

Rumble…

”Haah!”

Rumble…

”Haah!”

ƈοm Rumble…

The ground was shaking as Lith neared a particular room. Someoneʼs deep voice could be heard from the inside of it. They were probably training.

Ojas opened the door of this room and Lith saw a blonde-haired Giant youth smashing his club at his opponent, who was a middle-aged Giant twice his size.

”Haah!”

The youth shouted and swung his club. The ground shook as he missed his opponent and hit a pillar.

BAM—!

The middle-aged man slammed his body on the youth and sent him flying, creating a crater on the walls.

”Oof!”

”Gunther, try to be more agile!”

”Yes! Yes! More agile!”

Two youths seated in the corner yelled.

One was a demon with brown horns while the other had a repulsive scent and pale white skin, hair, and eyebrows.

”Sheng! Ji!”

Ojas called them out and grabbed their attention.

It wasnʼt just them, the middle-aged Giant turned to look at him too.

There were people with unfamiliar auras with him and it surprised the man.

Feeling a piercing gaze on him, Lith looked at the man with his sharp amethyst eyes, making him frown.

Even with such a small height and small eyes, Lithʼs eyes were giving off a haughty aura, almost as if he was looking down on everybody.

The man did not like it at all.

ʼWho is this?ʼ He thought and continued to stare at him and the person on his back.

”Yo, Ojas—hm? Whoʼs that…”

”…huh?”

Sheng and Ji were startled as they saw a tall silver-haired man behind Ojas.

”W, what!?” Sheng jumped on his chair in fright as he felt a strong predatory aura.

ʼThe smell isnʼt nice…ʼ

In a single glance, Lith found out that the youth in front was a Werewolf. Only those guys had such repulsive scents that made a vampireʼs stomach churn.

”That…!”

Ji felt his heart almost leap out of his chest. He wasnʼt dreaming, was he? Itʼs the Vampire Prince in front of him right? THE Vampire Prince, the Prince of all Vampires, right?!

”You guys… why are you acting like youʼve seen a ghost again?”

Ojas asked. The ʼagainʼ was said because they had been scared shitless by a Saint Rank Ghost just a few weeks ago.

Sheng and Ji almost pissed themselves while Ojas…

Ojas believed that he had spilled warm tea on his pants and nothing else at that time.

”Hello.” Oblivious to their thoughts, Lith smiled and waved at the two, startling them again.

”V-v-Vampire P, Prince!?”

Sheng used his chairʼs backrest as a cover and asked.

”Itʼs me.” Lith answered without hesitation.

”Ahhh!”

Sheng shrieked and quickly got down on his knees while Ji, Ojas, Lith, the middle-aged Giant, and the now on his feet Gunter looked at him with visible surprise.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Sheng kowtowed and smashed his forehead on the ground in front of Lith.

”Please spare me, Your Royal Highness! Please spare me! I have a family waiting for me at home! Pleasespareme! Pleasesparemepleasespareme—! Ahhhh!”

”…”

Lith was totally taken aback. He didnʼt even say or do anything to him though? Whatʼs with this reaction?

The others in the room frowned as they watched Shengʼs exaggerated reaction. This guy… what is wrong with him…?

Hearing the commotion, Mayzinʼs eyes twitched and she groggily opened her eyes.

”Mm… what noise…” She mumbled softly. It was only audible to Lith.

Surprised to see her almost wake up, Lith caressed her hair as if she was a child and kissed the top of her head.

”Sleep some more.” He gently whispered.

”Mm…”

Mayzinʼs eyelids drooped and she actually went into deep sleep again.

”Pleasespareme—”

”Stop, will you?” Lith couldnʼt take it anymore and knitted his brows.

”P-p-please…”

”Sigh…” Lith rubbed his temples. ”Ojas, can you take him away?”

”Sure thing.” Ojas was quick to react. He held the back of Shengʼs collar and dragged him out of the room.

Shaking his head, Lith looked at Ji and asked, ”Is he okay in the head? What happened to him?”

Ji secretly pinched himself, wondering whether what was happening was real or not. Feeling a stinging pain from his thighs, he flashed a wry smile and replied, ”I-i-it is the first time I saw him react like that.”

Ji stuttered initially, but was quick to regain control and tried to converse normally with Lith.

”…By the way… if it isnʼt audacious of me… can I ask a question?” Ji quickly changed the topic and asked.

”What is it?” Lith had a rough guess on what Ji was going to ask next.

”Are you… really…”

”Yes. The one and only, in the flesh, right in front of you. Why do you think it couldnʼt be me?” Lith cut him off and answered.

”Haha… well…” Ji scratched his cheek. ”I never thought I would get a chance to see THE Vampire Prince again. You might not know, but we actually belong to one of the worldʼs most privileged people to have seen your face in the academy.”

”Just having access to your picture elevates oneʼs status to such a degree that they wonʼt lack riches for as long as they live.”

”…”

”What the fuck?”
