Arya felt comfortable and warm while she was in Lith’s embrace. However, if someone were to say that she felt safer in Lith’s embrace, she would deny it and never accept it. But, this was also one of the reasons.
Arya had been cultivating diligently to increase her magic rank and now she was nearly at the top. Invincible and immortal. She had never taken a break before, and it was only a few hundred years ago that she decided to stop cultivating because she realised something was missing and that continuing to cultivate would be futile.
She was the Emperor rank closest to breaking through to the Supreme rank, but something was lacking and she didn’t understand what it was.
She referred to this as the final step. She needed something to help her take this last step and ascend and as she was hanging around with Lith today, she felt herself change a little. She felt like she was approaching a breakthrough, and her final step had begun.
Though it was only a slight change, she still noticed it. Such a feeling had never occurred to her in many years, which made her kind of excited too.
Such a change occurred when she was with Lith and she thus started believing that he may really be the reason that would help her take the final step and have her breakthrough.
Emilia did tell her that taking in students could help her and now she was starting to believe it. Who knew that what Emilia said would actually be true? She felt thankful for having Emilia as a friend and she made plans to thank her later.
After putting Lith in his bed, Arya walked back to the living room and continued watching the anime while lying on the couch.
…
Next day.
Lith woke up from his sleep, fully refreshed and energised. He got up and noticed that he was in his bedroom.
He turned to the clock present on the wall above the door of his bedroom and as he looked, his eyes widened and he said in shock, “shit! It’s 1pm!? What the fuck!? Why did nobody call me or come to wake me up!?”
Lith quickly rushed to his wardrobe and removed his clothes. He cast a cleaning spell on himself and, after getting all cleaned, dressed into the academy uniform hurriedly.
He dashed out of his bedroom and through the living room, he reached the door and just as he was about to exit and leave, he heard a melodious voice saying
“Why are you in such a rush?”
It was Arya who asked this. She was currently in her normal everyday clothes – jacket, sports bra, leggings and shoes, along with her round sunglasses on her face.
“Because I am late?” Lith turned around, said quickly, and opened the door. He was about to rush to the main building but Arya said quickly,
“Wait.”
He turned once again to look at her and had a questioning look on his face. Why did she stop him again, he thought to himself.
“No class today. I asked for a leave, just for you.” Arya said with a smile.
Lith sighed in relief. He said to Arya with a smile, “thank you, teacher.”
It was a good thing that there were no classes today. He was really in no mood to attend any. Even though he was refreshed after waking up, he was in no mood to do any activities today. He just wanted to relax and laze around today.
“Teacher, it’s lunch time, I haven’t had any. You must not have had it either, right? Want to join me?” Lith asked Arya.
“Oh, I’ll join you if you’re paying. All my money was spent yesterday on dinner. I am broke now.” Arya said and winked to Lith.
“I am broke too. I have no money. What now?” Lith put his hands on his waist and said with a sad expression.
“Aren’t you the Vampire Prince? Shouldn’t you have a lot of money?” Arya said, walking towards the couch and sat down by the time she finished saying her words.
“Aren’t you an Emperor rank and a very powerful being? What would people think when they get to know that you’re broke?” Lith said the same thing back to her.
“I spent all my money on liquor. I am poor now.” Arya slumped on the couch and said.
“I don’t earn or make any money. Everything belongs to my mom and she doesn’t give me any pocket money.” Lith said with a smile.
“Wow. You are blatantly lying to me now. I don’t believe you.” Arya turned around and said, facing Lith.
“Alright, alright, less jokes now, teacher. I am hungry. Are you ordering something or will I have to go out?” Lith asked Arya.
“I’ll order.* Arya replied.
“Alright, I’ll go freshen up then. See you in a while.” Lith said as he walked back towards his bedroom.
He took a shower after a while, changed clothes and returned to the living room. Arya was sitting on the dining table chair in one corner of the big living room with a lot of food in front of her.
Lith walked towards Arya, sat opposite to her and started having his lunch. They talked while they ate food and started having a fun time together.
…
Haslingberg city, Uklov.
On top of a seven-story building, a black-haired, blue-eyed teen lay prone. A long-range sniper rifle was in front of him, and he was aiming at a target fifty kilometres away who was strolling through a park.
The target was an old man with horns protruding from his forehead. Accompanying him was a small girl who was playing around with him.
“Target located… 3… 2…” The teen muttered softly. He put a talisman slip in between his teeth and muttered once again,
“…1…”
BANG!
The teen quickly bit the slip and vanished from the spot along with his rifle.
BURST!
The bullet tore through the old man’s head. His brain matter splattered everywhere in his immediate surroundings, including the little girl.
The little girl was dazed as if her brain was still processing what just happened before shrieking in horror,
“AHHHHH! GRANDPAAAAAA!”
