Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 267: Too much allowance

Lith's dorm, Abalax Sky Island.Lith was sitting on a chair close to the dining table, and Lilith was sitting opposite to him. They both were having tea. Lith had asked her to come here again on call and she did so without asking him any question."So, why did you call mama again, baby?" Lilith asked while taking a sip of her tea.Lith put down his teacup and said, "mom, I am planning to drop out of the academy and adventure outside. I don't think I'll be able to grow much here."Lilith nodded hearing it. "And?""And I want your opinion on this. Should I drop out or should I not?" Lith said flatly.Lilith nodded hearing the question. "Before I answer, let me ask you this. What plans do you have to get the resources needed for your breakthroughs? The academy would provide you with almost everything that you need to become a Rank 6, but if you go outside, how are you going to manage it? Will you take resources out from the treasury of the clan?"Lith shook his head and said, "no, mom. I don't plan to take anything from the treasury. I'll earn things on my own and make breakthroughs."Lilith knitted her brows as she heard this. "Why? If you don't use things from the treasury, who else is going to? Everything in it belongs to you and your sister. If it's all used up, mama will make sure it's filled again. Why won't you use it?"Lith smiled and answered, "because I want to gain experience, mom. Earning money and resources would help me with that aim."Lilith thought about it and nodded after a few seconds. "Okay, but will you not rely on it completely? If you don't use it, it'll become useless. Mama's efforts in collecting it will also be useless, you know?""Don't worry, mom. Your efforts won't be wasted. If I really need something, I'll take it from the treasury and also, if I use Miss Hecate's services in the future, it'll be you paying for it since I can't really afford that much. You can also give me a monthly allowance for a few years until my income has stabilized." Lith said with the same smile as before.Lilith smiled and said, "if that's the case, mama has no problems. How much do you want your allowance to be? A hundred peak-grade magic stones every month?"Lith spewed the tea he was drinking when he heard that."WHAT!?" He asked, wiping his saliva.Lilith knitted her brows and asked, "is it too less, baby? Do you want mama to increase it? How about a thous–""No, no, no! It's too much!" Lith said hurriedly.

"What?" Lilith asked, a bit surprised."Yeah of course, mom. You're speaking of handing so much money out as if they are candies." Lith answered with his brows knit.What was up with his mother? What happened to her common sense? A hundred peak-grade magic stones would be able to run a Tier 1 city easily for a month.An elite city, which was above Tier 1, like Nightingale and Espat, would need 1,000 peak grade magic stones to run for a month. Lilith was handing out one-tenth of such an amount to Lith just for allowance, it was too much.Did her love for Lith perhaps erased her common sense?Lilith then said, "But it's not really too much–""Mom." Lith interrupted her again.Lilith stopped talking and waited for him to finish speaking.Lith continued, "just give me one amethyst stone a month, that's it.""What!?" It was now Lilith's turn to be shocked.Was Lith out of his mind? It was so less! As far as she knew, even a Baron's child spent at least a hundred amethyst coins a month in the Vampire Continent. Lith was her, the Queen's son, and he wanted such a small amount? It was unacceptable!Lilith got up from her chair and walked towards Lith. She held his face with both her hands and made him look in her eyes."You'll get ten peak-grade magic stones, if you don't want a hundred. I won't take a no from you for it." She knitted her brows and said to Lith seriously.Lith shook his head. It was still too much money. Ten peak-grade magic stones could easily run a Tier 2 city for a month.Lith grabbed Lilith's hands and removed them from his face. He got up from his chair and when he tried to look her in the face; he had to turn his head up, since his mother was much taller than him.He stood on the chair behind him and became a head taller than her. He held her face with both his hands and made her look at him the same way she made him look at her previously."One amethyst stone, mom. No negotiations on this." Lith said seriously.Lilith shook her head. She held Lith's body by placing her hands under his armpits and raised him from the chair like a baby. She placed him back on the chair and held his face again with her hands. Follow current on novel-online.com

She knitted her brows and said to Lith seriously, "one peak-grade magic stone, mama won't go any less than that."Lith shook his head again. He looked at her back with a gaze as serious as her and said, "mama, it's one amethyst stone or nothing at all. You decide.""What!?" Lilith pulled back and said in shock.Why was her baby so bent on rejecting her today? What was up with him? He had never denied anything she had given to him before and this was the first time he was doing such a thing.Lilith looked at him and thought to herself, "is my baby going through his rebellious phase? But isn't it too early? My baby is growing up so fast… he won't even listen to his mama anymore… so sad…"Lilith made a sad face as she thought of this.Lith cleared his throat and grabbed Lilith's attention."Ahem, mom, your thoughts are leaking out. And no, I am not going through my rebellious phase." Lith said to her calmly."What?" Lilith asked in surprise.Lith walked towards her, willed the elements around him and hovered above in air. He became a head taller than her again and holding her face, he said,"Mom, I have to make money on my own. The allowance every month is just a backup and money needed to be used for emergencies. If you give me so much money, it's a waste. Please don't do it."Lilith made a sad face again as she heard this. "But mama only wants the best for you…"Lith smiled and kissed her forehead. "I know, mom. But it's a necessary thing for you to do."Lilith still had the same sad face, and she didn't speak to him.Lith sighed as he noticed this."How about this… just give me your debit card and I'll use money from it whenever I want to. Don't give me any allowance. This way, you won't have to worry much about me."Lilith cheered up as she heard this. That was a good idea from Lith's side. She wondered why she didn't come up with it before.She nodded her head repeatedly with a smile like a pecking hen to agree with Lith. Follow current on storynovel.net

"That's a great idea!" Lilith said happily.Lith nodded. He then asked, "Now answer the important question, mom. Should I drop out or should I not?"Lilith kissed Lith's cheek and said to him with a smile, "it's up to you, baby. Mama knows that you'll do good wherever you go. You'll grow a lot even if you don't drop out. But dropping out and adventuring outside from a young age has its own benefits. So mama is fine with whatever you do and has no opinion on this matter."Lith nodded in understanding."Then I'll drop out, as I planned to. Okay?"Lilith nodded. "Sure.""Alright then, I'll go prepare things. I'll leave the academy later." Lith said and walked towards his bedroom.Lilith held Lith by his shoulder and said with a smile that was not really a smile, "young man, where do you think you're going?""Eh?" Lith turned around and asked.Lilith smiled widely and said, "did you forget what you promised mama on the phone? Let me remind you again, it was about you giving me lots of kisses and cuddles for calling me so suddenly here.""Oh." Lith realized his promise and his mouth turned into an 'o' shape as he said that.Lilith took a step forward, and the two vanished from their spot. The two teleported out in Lith's bedroom, and Lilith was on top of Lith.She looked at Lith in the eyes and said with an evil smile, "you know what? Change of plans. Mama doesn't need your cuddles and kisses anymore. Mama will do it herself."Lilith gave a peck on Lith's lips.Lith smiled and said, "sure."Lilith smiled widely again as he said that and said, "change of plans again. Mama won't kiss or cuddle with you. Mama will…"Lilith got her face close to his and letting out a hot breath on his lips, she said seductively,"...eat you instead."
