Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 553 Alexandra’s Hidden Talent

Chapter 553 Alexandra’s Hidden Talent

Arya, Alexandra, and Lith's attention was hooked into what Lilith was saying. They turned to face her and waited to hear further from her.
Lilith smiled and continued, "You know, you could always just decide a particular time or date when you can meet. Of course, keep it flexible and in proper intervals. These are the times when meeting is compulsory and as for the rest of the days, if any of you is free, you can always just pay a visit to each other."
Alexandra was a bit confused when she heard that but Arya and Lith understood what Lilith was saying.
Arya nodded her head and said, "That sounds good to me."
"Me too. Alexandra won't have problems if we go with that method." Lith answered.
"What's happening…" Alexandra had no idea.
Lith looked at her and said with a smile, "I'll be seeing you every four or five months without fail. If I am free in between this time, I'll see you again. How does that sound?"
Alexandra's well being had to be ensured. If she was constantly with Lith then things wouldn't be good for her as her sadistic and blood thirsty nature only just appeared when Lith wasn't there.
When with Lith, she was completely attached to him. She was just too heads over heels and there wouldn't be anything but Lith in her mind.
Alexandra knitted her brows as she heard that. Why only four or five months? Why not always? Why couldn't she be with Lith at all times of the year?
From the expression Alexandra was making, Lith had a rough idea what she may be thinking. He held her hand gently and looking her in the eyes, said,
"You can't be with me at all times, dear. You have to cultivate and grow. You can only grow when you are out in the open and exploring, not by staying cooped in one place with me."
'Although I am saying this, once I have the dual cultivation manuals, she will be staying with me most of the time and cultivating in seclusion. Ahem, but there's a bit of time for it and I shouldn't ruin the surprise.' Lith thought as he said those words.
Alexandra, still not understanding things, was a bit sad knowing Lith wouldn't be with her at all times. But she didn't rebuke him as she could see in Lith's eyes that he was thinking for her own good.
Alexandra simply nodded lightly and said, "I understand. But…" She then pointed her finger towards Arya and continued, "...darling needs to ensure that I am not restricted by that monster. Or I am not following anything darling says."
Lith, Arya, Lilith, all looked at each other and started laughing as they heard what Alexandra said, leaving that latter wondering what was happening.
An hour passed as they chatted together.
Lith decided that it was enough talking and that he should spend some time with his wives a bit before leaving.
Lith got up from his seat and after saying that he wanted to spend some time with Alexandra, left the courtyard.
Lilith and Arya didn't say anything regarding it to or stopped him as they both understood that Alexandra was young and needed more attention than them.
Lith held hands with Alexandra and the two roamed in the castle. They talked while moving and Alexandra was the one to show around the castle to Lith as she was fully aware of every nook and cranny of it.
Arya had shown everything there was in the castle to Alexandra and thus she knew about it. She was now showing her favourite spots to Lith and hanging out with him.
Lith took great interest in this and was surprised to see the many spots Alexandra was showing him.
One of the many spots that he saw was a room solely to forge weapons. This room contained a lot of abnormal weapons and from what Alexandra had said to Lith, she would come here from time to time to forge herself something nice.
Of course, it was under the supervision of Arya so there was no harm or risk to Alexandra.
Alexandra showed Lith her double-bladed sword and it had a shiny metallic black color to it. This weapon was made by Alexandra here in this room and on one command from her, it could extend to a foot more or completely retract or become a single blade.
Lith was amazed by this ability of hers and couldn't help but ask if she was planning to be a blacksmith or something, to which she answered that she knew her needs the best and preferred making things on her own rather than rely on somebody else.
This made Lith wonder that Alexandra may probably have a talent in being a blacksmith so to check what sort of quality weapons she made, he took her double bladed sword from her and analysed it.
As Lith did that, he was shocked to find out that there wasn't even a slight impurity of ore and the blades were super sharp. It was in fact so sharp that even a slight grazing on it would cause Lith's finger to have a cut.
One should keep in mind that Lith was an immortal now and this blade was something forged by a mortal.
Lith then checked other weapons made by her and was amazed by their quality. He then fully believed that Alexandra may really have the talent to be an Artifact Refiner or simply be a blacksmith.
Lith made a mental note that further discussions related to these things should be done with Arya and his mother. Alexandra really was a one of a kind talent in this world.
After talking a bit more about weapons, Lith left the place and went to a romantic one.
This romantic place was the peak of the towering dark castle, an observatory of sorts, present at the tallest point and through which Arya's entire territory could be seen.
This place was called the 'Eye of the Death Dragon' and Arya would come here from time to time to see what was happening in her territories.
Being a Supreme Rank, it wasn't difficult to check stuff for her from one place.
Lith sat at the edge of the observatory with Alexandra and gazed at the vast dark and gray territories of the Death and Destruction dragon tribes. Beyond the gray places was a blue horizon and if Lith wasn't wrong, this was the Water tribes of the dragons.
While gazing at these places from so high up, Lith wrapped his arm around Alexandra's shoulder and pulling her in his embrace quietly continued to look at the beautiful landscape of the Dragon Continent.

Next day.
Lith spent quite a good amount of time with Alexandra and once she was satisfied with his attention, she went back to training.
Lith now had time to give attention to Arya and just like Alexandra, he was holding hands with Arya and was roaming in the castle with her, talking.
In the midst of his talks, he asked, "Oh by the way, what place do you consider as home?"
Hearing this question triggered some past memories in Arya. She remembered the time when she was a little girl, running around in the woods and playing with her mother.
In the woods there was a small house where she, her mother, and her father lived. The three were away from the lively cities and were in a village, in the middle of peace and quiet.
This was what Arya called home for a long time and loved and cherished this place. But after one fine day, she stopped feeling love for it altogether and became a bit emotionless, eventually leaving that place after a few years despite her mother asking her not to.
Arya then never saw her mother or her father until she became a Supreme Rank, which was just recently.
She left her home when the feeling of love was gone and eventually cultivating day and night, became an Emperor Rank and joined the academy.
From there, she met Lith and then became a Supreme Rank as Lith was the one to have removed the seal from her mind.
Arya, who had a blindfold on her eyes, closed her eyes and smiled as she was absorbed in the past.
She then turned to look at Lith and asked again, "Home?
Lith nodded his head.
This made Arya stop in her tracks and smile. She turned to face Lith and took off her blindfold to look him in the eyes.
As Arya slowly took it off, Lith became mesmerized with her eyes that came into view.
Those blue eyes that seemed to contain the entire sky and ocean, those silver eye lashes… they were all a feast for the eyes and no matter how many times Lith had a look, he wouldn't be bored by them.
Having her blindfolds off, Arya held Lith's face and looking him in the eyes, said in a gentle tone, "home…"
"...it's where you are."
