Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 604 Inside The Elven Castle

Chapter 604 Inside The Elven Castle

It was a warm day in the Elven Continent. The evergreen leaves of the World Tree were rustling along the breeze while blocking the sun rays and providing a cool shade.
At the top most level of the World Tree, there lay a magnificent white and gold castle, shining due to the sun rays that escaped the blockade of leaves and shone upon it.
Inside this castle, two beautiful elves were sitting around a round table and having tea, basking in the peace and quiet.
The door of the room they were in creaked open and a tall blue-haired elven lady wearing glasses walked in.
"Your Majesty, he's here." Jasmine said calmly.
Agalea smiled in response and Alea did the same thing as well. She giggled and said, "little cousin is here~"
"That's right, dear. Let's go greet him." Agalea said and got up from her seat.
Alea nodded and finishing up their tea, the two, along with Jasmine, went to meet Lith.

In the hallways of the Elven Castle, Lith found a lot of scriptures pinned on the walls. There were also a lot of branches of the tree that went in and out of the castle and looking at all of them, Lith could understand that building a castle at such a difficult place was definitely not possible without magic.
This was also the second time Lith had seen a castle other than his own, truth to be told.
The first castle that Lith saw other than the Royal Castle in which he stayed was Arya's. The second was this one and that made Lith realize that there was so much more to this world that he hadn't seen yet.
Comparing his aunt's castle to his own, the first visible difference that Lith saw was that this castle was more suited for an elf to live in and his was more suited for a vampire.
Elven Royal Castle had an ambience of peace and serenity. It made one get closer to nature and there weren't a lot of man made things in the castle like chandeliers, decorations, and so on.
This place contained lots and lots of natural things and as mentioned, brought one closer to nature and made them feel at ease.
Just a few minutes back, Lith had come across a spring that was flowing in an arched fashion at the ceiling of the hallway he was on. It was truly something he hadn't seen before and being fascinated, he continued to walk.
Lith was told to wait but he knew that it wouldn't be a problem if he roamed in the castle. It was easy to locate him anywhere he went as his aunt was a Supreme Rank.
As Lith continued to walk, he entered a passage that was filled with plants containing colorful flowers. There were no walls or ceiling, just flowers.
Lith admired it and as he was about to move further, he felt his vision go dark.
When such a thing happened, someone would put up their guard and get into a defensive position, readying themselves for combat.
But being through a lot of such situations in the past, Lith's mind was calm as he was well aware that there was nothing to worry about.
He was in the castle of one of the strongest beings in the world, there was no way he was getting attacked by anyone here in the presence of such a person.
And Lith's analysis was absolutely right as in the next second, he heard:

"Guess who?~"
A warm feeling swept on his face as something soft was touching him.
Having experienced such a thing multiple times, Lith didn't need to guess that it was someone's hand.
From the cheerful voice, it was definitely Alea.
Lith didn't know why Alea would do something like this, they weren't even close and knew each other, but he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere and make her feel bad for doing this.
Lith said softly, "I can't guess."
Alea, standing behind Lith, smiled and replied, "little cousin, it's not so difficult. Just make any guess."
"..." Lith had no idea what to do.
Although he knew Alea was an airhead from his sister and also someone who's age, body, and mind didn't match, she wasn't someone stupid or bad.
Alea was a cheerful and jolly person. She was kind of like his wife Arya, but just a more teenage version of her.
He felt she was someone nice and harmless and didn't want to say something inappropriate that would hurt her.
Lith thus chose to think before speaking.
Finally having nothing in his mind but knowing he had to quickly answer, Lith fumbled and said,
"...uh …dinosaur?"
"What?"
"What?" Lith repeated.
What did he say? Even he had no idea!
But the arrow had left the bow and now it was too late.
Vision returned to Lith's eyes a second later and he saw a beautiful young blonde lady stand in front of her, staring at him with her emerald-like eyes.
"Little cousin, do I look like dinosaur to you?" Alea giggled and asked. She found Lith unable to guess funny.
"You need to improve on your guessing skills." She said with a smile without waiting for him to reply.
Lith smiled awkwardly as he had no idea what to even make of this situation and respond.
But thankfully, he didn't have to as Agalea walked close to Alea and put her hand on her shoulder.
"My dear, you should first greet the guests when you see them." Agalea said with a smile.
"Oops." Alea said and giggled.
Agalea let go of the matter after saying so and looked at Lith. She asked with the same still on,
"Enjoying yourself in the castle, nephew? Is it to your liking?"
Lith smiled and replied, "Aunt, you are putting me too high up the pedestal by asking such a question."
He then shook his head and continued, "I am in no position to comment on something that was made so delicately with love and care."
What he said was true. From just the small glimpse he had seen, he could tell that the castle was designed very immaculately as every little detail was taken into consideration.
It was luxurious, yet made to be very comforting for an elf to live in.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ Lith was a vampire and he knew he wouldn't be able to judge things which weren't even meant for him.
Doing so would only mean he would end up insulting the person who made the castle.
Lith was aware that this castle was built by his aunt Agalea herself. She did get help from his other two aunts and mother, but most of the things was done by her and Lith didn't want to say anything bad regarding it.
Agalea, hearing Lith's response, couldn't help but say by covering her face and chuckling,
"Such big talks, nephew Lith. Are you sure you're just 22 years old and not some old man in a child's body?"
Agalea couldn't believe someone of such a young age would say such mature things and respect the other person without even knowing about them.
She was sure he knew very little about her. But despite that, he managed to hand out such an amazing response.
Lith appeared amusing to Agalea and his impression rose to a very high level in her mind.
She couldn't help but think, 'Just what did sister Lilith do to have such good kids?'
Lucy was a good child, humble, kind, someone with no ulterior motives, and also committed to her work. Despite being a noble, Agalea couldn't see the air of authority or arrogance around her when in private with her.
She had known this about Lucy after interacting with her for many years.
But in just two meetings with Lith, she could tell that he too was someone as good as Lucy. She didn't know a lot of things about him, but for sure could tell he was just as humble, kind, and someone without any ulterior motives like his sister.
Lilith definitely had some good secrets to raise such good kids. Agalea made a mental note to get advices from her later.
Lith, hearing such a question from his aunt, was taken aback but didn't show it on his face or flinch even slightly.
What his aunt said wasn't wrong, but also wasn't correct.
He indeed wasn't twenty-two mentally but he also wasn't an old man in a child's body.
He was just 19 years older than his body and that should probably get fixed soon as he grows older.
Lith cleared his throat, trying to change the topic, and said, "Aunt, should we get going?"
Agalea broke out of her thoughts. She nodded her head and said, "Right. Do you wish to tour the castle with little Alea or do you want to get to work right away?"
Lith looked at Alea and saw her smiling at him without saying anything.
Lith very much expected Alea to say that he should hang out with her, but then, looking at her not saying anything meant only one thing…
"Let's get to work first, aunt. I am not going anywhere for a long while. There's plenty of time for me to explore the castle with cousin." Lith said calmly.
Alea nodded her head with a smile. Indeed, one should first wind up the work thingies so that they don't have to stress and can roam freely everywhere.
This was what Alea would usually do. Whenever Agalea gave work, she would finish it right away so that she had plenty of free time to move around without having any stress of work.
Agalea was amused with Lith's response. She could tell that he knew how to read the room properly.
'He's such an intelligent boy for his age.' She thought to herself.
She nodded her head in response and said, "very well. Let's go to the court first then."
"Follow me…"
