Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 616 Act Like A Queen, Agalea!

Chapter 616 Act Like A Queen, Agalea!

"Meetings."
"Meetings.
"Meetings."
Agalea flipped through the pages and repeated the same word for a few more times.
Reaching the end, she closed the file and turned to look at Lith. "What's this? Why are there just meetings for the whole day?"
Lith, holding the puppy in his arms, shrugged and said, "I have no idea."
"What do you mean you have no idea? Didn't you make this?" Agalea asked, not understanding Lith.
Lith shook his head. "I didn't. Jasmine met me last night and handed it to me."
"Hmm…" Agalea put on a pondering expression. "...are you perhaps slacking and making Jasmine do your work?"
Lith rolled his eyes. "Your Majesty, do I look like someone who would slack? I am very punctual and do my work on time."
Agalea looked at Lith suspiciously, "I doubt it."
"In any case, it doesn't matter. Come, let's go, you have a meeting in ten minutes." Lith took the file from her desk and holding the puppy in one hand the file in the other, walked towards the door of the office.
"What? Wait… you didn't discuss the rescheduling with me." Agalea protested.
Lith turned to look at her and said with a serious look, "Yeah, no. In the past, you've skipped many meetings and they piled up now. Finish it today itself so you can take a break later."
"..." Agalea was stupefied. "I am the Queen, you should do as I ask." She couldn't help but say.
Lith narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I want to do something against your orders. But your motive for rescheduling is just to slack off."
Agalea covered her mouth and made a surprised face. "Are you accusing me, the Queen, of… of slacking!?"
Lith nodded. "You're damn right. Now let's get moving."
With his hands full, Lith still managed to open the door.
Agalea, looking at Lith, and the sleeping puppy in his arms, couldn't help but sigh and say her thoughts out loud, "I wish I was that puppy. I could rest all day."
"..." Lith turned to look at her, his mind still processing whether what Agalea said was what she just said or was he hallucinating.
Judging from her looks, it seemed she indeed said it, but didn't realize she said it out loud.
Lith smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I hate to break it to you, but you can't be this puppy."
"What? Why?" Agalea said in reflex, only to cover her mouth and realize she shouldn't have said it.
'Shit. Did I say it out loud?' She wondered.
Lith's smile turned into a smirk and he replied, "because you aren't as cute as him."
"Hey!" Agalea felt offended. She got up from her seat and walked towards Lith with an angry look.
As she reached in front, she wanted to look down on him and seem overbearing, but realized she was a bit shorter than him in height.
"Tsk." Agalea clicked her tongue and looked away, as she realized she made a second blunder for the day.
Lith chuckled. He knew fully what was going on in her head.
Looking at her cute angry face, he couldn't help himself from pinching her cheeks and saying, "See… now that is cute."
Lith was a certified husband and he had been like that for a decade now. Naturally, he was well-versed with how one should act around a lady and had mastered the dao of teasing beautiful ladies.
So what if she was the Queen herself and someone way stronger than him?
Agalea's eyes widened in surprise as Lith did that. She turned to look at Lith, only to see his face show a natural happy smile.
There didn't seem to be any hint of perversion, just pure joy of teasing someone.
Agalea's surprise vanished as embarrassment took over. She got embarrassed knowing she was teased by someone so younger than her.
'Damn it. I should be careful around him. No wonder he wifed up the cold and ruthless Death Dragon and the War Angel.' Agalea thought to herself.
Although she thought that, there was still a hint of happiness within Agalea knowing she got called cute. Even though it was from someone much much younger than her, it still held a lot of value for reasons she didn't even know or wanted to know.
Agalea, still having Lith hold her cheek, coughed and said, "an aide should be within his boundaries."
Lith, looking at Agalea say that, didn't feel any shame or wrong. He could see Agalea was holding back her embarrassment, but there was still a bit of blush that spread out evenly on her cheeks.
Lith let go of her cheek and chuckled. "I am sorry, Your Majesty."
"A-Anyway. Let's go." Agalea accidentally stuttered.
'Oh, nature! Act like a Queen, Agalea! Why are you stuttering!?' Agalea cursed herself internally.
Lith didn't comment on it and followed Agalea behind her.
While walking, he realized his hands were full and he should do something about it.
Lith turned to look at his side, "Oi, wake up." He called the puppy out.
"Woo…?" The puppy, half asleep, turned to look at Lith with its eyes still closed and asked what Lith wanted in dog language.
Lith didn't know why, but he felt offended with this rascal sleeping so soundly and still having the audacity to ask why he was woken up.
But he refrained from saying anything because this guy's IQ was even worse than a few people he knew.
"I am gonna put you on my shoulder. If you fall down, it's on you. I'll not pick you up again and leave you."
"WOOF!?" The puppy instantly became alert as he heard that and questioned.
Lith however didn't give him a chance to protest and immediately put him on shoulder. He then continued to walk, without bothering with him.
"WOOOOOOOO!" Getting the jerks from Lith's walk, the puppy almost fell down but held onto Lith's shoulder with his nails from one paw.
He was now hanging onto Lith's shoulder and shouting for Lith to notice and get him up.
Despite hearing the annoying noises from the puppy, Lith didn't pick him up and ignored it.
As for Agalea who was walking ahead of the two, she didn't bother to look back and talk to Lith because she had already embarrassed herself enough today.
The puppy, knowing that he'll fall into Alea's vile claws if Lith was gone, felt his fate being sealed if he didn't get up on Lith's shoulder.
The puppy thus tried his best to climb back up on Lith's shoulder.
A few minutes later, Agalea and Lith, with the puppy still struggling to get up, reached outside the meeting room where the first meeting of the day would be held.
Lith finally showed mercy on the poor guy and pushed him up to get on his shoulder as it wouldn't look proper if they went inside like that.
The puppy woofed in relief as he was finally up, and feeling it was such a tough day, went back to sleep on Lith's shoulder.
Lith went ahead of Agalea and looking at her, said with a serious look, "Your Majesty, even though you know Blanc is conspiring, don't show it on your face and act like you don't know."
Agalea who was feeling embarrassed, had her mood change with Lith suddenly getting serious.
She nodded her head and said, "Okay. Anything else?"
Lith was in charge of everything and how Agalea should act, say, and do, was also something he controlled.
"Yes, ask her about the night of the bloodbath that happened 75 years ago."
"Hmm?" Agalea was confused with it. This was something she didn't know about.
Lith shook his head. "I'll explain later as it would be best if you talk knowing nothing about it. The conversation would be more natural."
"Alright." Agalea nodded her head.
Lith nodded too and opened the door for her.
The two went inside the meeting room which was nothing but one of the courtyards of the castle.
The courtyard was open space, one could see way down at the ground, clouds below and above, and the vast sky.
There were stairs leading to a wooden stage that was present in mid air. On the stage there were two chairs around a round table.
One end there was a brown-haired elven lady with pointy ears, wearing loose white robes, sitting and waiting.
As Agalea reached the stage, the lady stood up and bowed. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Agalea nodded her head and went down to sit on the chair while Lith stood behind her quietly with the puppy on his shoulder.
Agalea looked at the lady and said in a calm manner, "Sit down, Viona. It's going to be a long talk."
The lady, Viona Blanc, didn't know why but she felt a shiver hearing that cold statement from the Queen.
She didn't say anything in response to that but sat down and thanked the Queen.
Agalea looked at her and said with a serious look, "Let's not waste time and get straight to the point."
"What happened on the night of the bloodbath?"
