Chapter 548 Emilia Tortures Lith
"Noooo! Don't torture me like this!"
Ralph, Dennis, and Sel, all three, heard the same thing as they stood outside the office of Emilia.
"Ayo?" Dennis said. "Why does the voice seem familiar?"
Ralph and even Sel looked at Dennis as if he was an idiot.
"You can't even recognize the voice of your own Prince?" Ralph said what was on his and Sel's mind.
Dennis scratched the back of his head and said with an awkward laugh, "Hehe, how can I not. Of course, it is the Prince."
'He definitely didn't recognize!' Ralph facepalmed and shook his head.
Sel was also slightly shocked to see Dennis's reaction. She wondered if this was the same student from a decade ago or was it someone else she had picked up.
"NO! YOU MONSTER!"
"How could you do this to me!?"
Sel's attention returned to the door as she heard Lith's voice again.
Dennis also looked at the door.
As for Ralph, he made a light cough, grabbing the two's attention, and said, "We should come back after a while. The teacher seems to be busy with something."
"No, let's just stay and listen to His Highness suffer. It'll be fu—"
Thwack!
"Ow!"
Ralph hit the back of Dennis's head, and he started dragging him away from the door while holding him by his collar.
"Hey, don't hit my head! What if I become stupid like you!? And where are you taking me? Let me go! I want to listen!" Dennis protested.
"Miss Sel, we'll be at the cafeteria on the ground floor. Please call us when the teacher is free." Ralph said while going away from the office.
"Okay." Sel nodded her head and let the two go.
"Noooo! I don't want to go! I wan— WHAA!"
Dennis's protests were in vain as Ralph jumped down the staircase along with him, going straight to the ground floor from the top floor, surprising Dennis.
Sel had a slight smile on her face as she watched the two banter. She then stood outside her Madam's office, waiting and wondering what was happening inside.

Inside Emilia's office...
"Stop it! How can you be so cruel!" Lith exclaimed. His words appeared as if he was being tortured very cruelly.
Lith was currently tied to a chair, and his movements were sealed. There was also a blonde-haired angel sitting on his lap. Her hands were placed on his shoulder, and she had a big smile on her face as she watched Lith yell.
"Me? Cruel?" Emilia let out an evil chuckle. She raised Lith's chin with one finger and came close to his face, whispering, "I just gave you the starters. I am sure it wasn't enough."
"And if I don't feed you with the main course, I won't be called a good wife, right?"
"No! Don't do it. Please." Lith shook his head and pleaded. "The starters were already too much."
Emilia chuckled. She then held Lith's face and looked him in the eyes…
"The sun comes up. It's a new day dawning…." Emilia began singing.
"Nooooo!" Lith tried to shake his head and unhear what he was hearing.
Emilia smirked and continued, "...whatever may pass and whatever lies before me…."
"Damn it! Stop it! I can't take it anymoOoOreeee!"
Emilia was singing sacred songs which were soothing and pleasing to the ears. But to Vampires, Werewolves, and Demons, it was straight torture.
A higher-level angel could kill lower-level creatures of the dark simply by singing the holy songs.
Of course, Lith was immune to the power behind the songs as he was the son of a Legendary Rank, but that did not mean he enjoyed them.
Emilia also wouldn't harm Lith, so she didn't imbue any energy into her songs and just sang to irritate and annoy him. Just like he had annoyed her a while ago.
After a few minutes, Emilia stopped singing, and Lith heaved a sigh of relief as the torture was finally over.
"It's done now, right?" Lith looked at Emilia and asked.
"Is it?" Emilia, instead of answering, questioned back.
Lith knitted his brows and asked with shock, "What do you mean, 'Is it?' It's still not over!?"
Emilia chuckled evilly. She got off Lith's lap and said, "Who knows?"
"Why? Why must you torture your poor husband like this? Sniff… Sniff… what wrong have I ever done to you?" Lith put out a fake cry and sobbed as if he was a damsel in distress.
All of the above protests... They were all fakes. Emilia knew Lith was faking it, but she still relished having him whine and plead with her to stop.
As for Lith, he could see very well that Emilia really did enjoy it. So to make her happier, he played along and complained some more, like a good husband.
Nobody who watched the two would think that Lith was faking it. Even Emilia failed to realize it from time to time as Lith was too good at it.
But she knew she wasn't harming Lith, so she continued to do her thing without stopping. She was really enjoying watching the expressions of her husband as he tried to act like he was being tortured.
Emilia took out a covered plate. What was inside was not known by Lith, and he couldn't figure it out with magic or his senses as well.
Emilia sat back on Lith's lap and said, "A good wife must feed her husband, right?"
Lith knitted his brows. "Well, she should. But in this context, no thanks."
Emilia shook her head and also her index finger. "No, no, no. How can I not feed my husband? I don't want to be called a bad wife."
"I don't like where this is going…." Lith said as he looked Emilia in the eyes.
Emilia giggled lightly and brought the plate in front of Lith. She took off the cloche` and said, "Tada!"
A stinky smell assaulted Lith's nose, and the thing he saw on the plate made him knit his brows.
"Ugh! Get that thing away!"
Lith pulled his head back, trying to not smell and be near the thing on the plate.
Emilia took it close to Lith again and said, "One shouldn't say no to food."
"Food? That's poison!" Lith sneered.
Only one food could make Lith so disgusted, and it was…
Emilia chuckled again and picked up a slice of bread from the plate. She brought it close to his face and said,
"Honey, it's just some garlic. Why are you being so dramatic for such a harmless thing?"
Lith spat at the side and looked at Emilia with a fake angry look, "It's not garlic; it's poison! Disgusting! Get it away from me!"
Lith was definitely a top-tier drama queen. His might challenged even the mightiest of mighties.
Hearing his protest, was Emilia going to put it away?
Well, she did have a thought about it since she really cared for Lith. But remembering how much her husband had embarrassed her and how this wasn't something that would harm Lith, she let go of the thought of putting it away.
'I have already chosen garlic bread instead of raw garlic; I have been kind enough to my dear husband.' She decided in her heart.
Emilia restricted Lith's head movement as he struggled too much. Then she slowly brought the slice of garlic bread towards his mouth.
Like the good wife she was, Emilia sweetly called, " Dear husband, say aaaa…."
Lith snorted instead of doing as Emilia had asked, which made her let out a small giggle in response.
Emilia opened Lith's mouth through magic and put a slice of Garlic bread in it. She proceeded to stuff a few more pieces, and when she was done, she closed his mouth and made him chew on it.
Lith's expression changed from anger to disgust, to appearing as if he would puke at any moment.
'Fuck! It's so sheeeeeeeeeet!' Lith cursed in his mind. This time for real and not as a joke.
No matter if he was a Prince or not, garlic was garlic.
To all vampires, it tasted like shit. Not literally, but metaphorically. Not to mention, he disliked garlic even when he was human!
Lith looked Emilia in the eyes while chewing on the garlic bread with a look that read, 'My wife is a monster!'
Emilia giggled while watching his reactions. She was pleased to get her sweet revenge on her husband.
Finally, after Lith was done, he couldn't help but curse with an expression as if he had been tortured too much,
"You foul beast! Even the cruelest of cruel beings won't harm someone like this! Stop torturing me; I can't take it anymore. Just finish the deed and end, mooooiii!"
Emilia smirked in response, and before she could say anything in response,
Soon, Lith's expression changed from looking like a helpless little lamb to a poker face, like when he was about to make some shameless request.
"...Oh, btw, if you're going to end me, I have a request."
"Please end me by squishing my face between those divine thighs. No, maybe, please sit on my face and give me the revered 'death by snu snu'!"
Emilia's smirk changed into a frown. 'What in the heavens is wrong with my husband?' She thought again.
Was Lith okay in the head?
Emilia analyzed Lith's face; from the tone and expression, he didn't seem to be kidding.
She knocked on his forehead and thought, 'Hmm… this doesn't seem empty.'
Lith wrinkled his nose as he was surprised by Emilia's action.
He couldn't help but ask her, "What are you even doing?"
"Wellness check," Emilia replied without even thinking.
"Nani!?"
