Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 1161: Love Lessons

Chapter 1161: Love Lessons

It was quite the peculiar situation Keith was in.

Lith could've finished the business instantly by handing the boy access to the gate. He would've gone back to his clan and informed the necessary authorities, then things would have proceeded as Lith had hoped them to.

Why was he teaching the boy to get a lady piqued her curiosity, and to know Lith's thought process further, she played along his antics.

"Picking up girls was easy. Confessing was easy. What was difficult was getting them interested in you and maintaining that relationship

.

"

Lith opened his lessons with those profound words.

So far, Keith found nothing wrong with it. She continued to listen intently.

"It may get overwhelming, but you must stand tall and confident. If you know your own worth, there's n.o.body out of your league, just out of preference."

Keith thought her master was just spouting random nonsense right now.

Yam on the other hand was seriously taking notes and learning.

Lith then taught him a few things of how he could present himself, some opening lines, and which girls he should be approaching.

"Little boy, appearance isn't the only thing that matters. l.u.s.t dies after a point, but love stays forever. Like look at my wife here…"

Lith hugged Keith tighter and pulled her closer.

He kissed her forehead without permission and looked at her poker face. She did not show any reaction to his kiss, however…

"My wife here isn't very expressive, but look at these cute ears of her. They're red like tomatoes, absolutely magnificent."

Keith glanced up, looking at Lith with her fierce crimson eyes, and slightly bit her lip, controlling herself from saying or doing anything.

Unlike her, Lith's reaction was the complete opposite. He was looking at her with a tender gaze, as if she was the most precious thing in the world.

His loving gaze could be felt by both Yam and Keith. The former was impressed while the latter was taken aback by the sudden turn of events.

"It's not what's outside that matters. It's what's inside. The way she's unable to process her emotions anytime she's spoiled, the way she feels embarra.s.sed but doesn't express it, the way she stays so lovingly in my embrace without moving a muscle so as to not disturb me…"

"…when you're in love, you would notice these little things and get happy. This doesn't bring pleasure, but a higher form of happiness, which is somewhat a mix of satisfaction, peace, and comfort. You're at ease when you are with the one you love. You feel protected, you feel warm, and you start noticing things you had never seen in anyone else before."

When Lith said those words, Keith immediately noticed that from up close, his nose was somewhat high. It looked perfect on him, but it was slightly raised. Other than that, his eyes really were amazing.

They were a bright purple color and not dull like the boy's seated at the corner of the bench.

Yam, seriously taking notes, felt as if he was in a tv drama.

Lith and Keith both seemed like supermodels. One was a gothic beauty resembling the tranquil moon within the dark canvas of s.p.a.ce while the other seemed like a handsome prince of darkness, standing under this moonlight.

The bustling city did not matter anymore. Time seemed to have stopped and only these two could be seen in Yam's eyes.

Lith intimately gazed straight into Keith's eyes, doing something no man could ever dare to, and said, "Love is silent. Love is understanding. Love is unconditional. Love is loyal. You don't have to change yourself for the one who'll love you will accept you for the way you are. All you have to do is be patient and give it some time."

Yam was aggressively writing it down. This definitely seemed something taken straight out of a drama! If it didn't, Yam could make a show himself and make a lot of money out of it!

Keith on the other hand was baffled and surprised more and more. She had not the slightest clue on what Lith was trying to do or achieve here.

This time around, his words weren't random nonsense but made a lot of sense.

These words seemed directed more towards her than they did towards Yam. Keith had this feeling, but wasn't very sure.

In any case, when she thought of it being applied on herself, Keith realized that she was putting up a wall between herself and Lith.

Because of her past, trusting anyone was not easy for her. She quickly put up walls even though the people around meant no harm and were quite understanding.

Maybe this was a wake up call for her. Maybe her master  was trying to convey that it was fine to trust people and not be so shackled and isolated.

Keith wasn't sure, but she was self aware of what she herself was doing.

It had been many years since she became Lith's maid. Being called a maid was bad, but in reality, she had some of the calmest and relaxed time in this place and position.

Lith didn't need to prove himself further to state that he or the ones around him were harmless. Keith already knew they were. She just had trouble accepting them and taking down the walls isolating her.

Maybe… maybe it was time to look at things through a new perspective and give it a try, thought Keith.

She lowered her gaze and contemplated things, but Lith placed his index finger under her chin and lifted her face up, making her look into his eyes.

"You don't have to be on guard at all times. Let yourself go and live a little. I'll always be standing with you, in front of you, actually, protecting you from all harm."

Keith felt something within her stomach when she heard that. It wasn't an unpleasant sensation, but was also not comfortable and felt weird.

"You don't have to run anymore, Keith." Lith grabbed her attention with his words once again. "There won't be anyone abandoning you or making you live on your own."

In the pit of her stomach, she felt some type of tiny wings brushing against the inside. It was a gentle yet persistent tingling sensation that Keith had never felt before.

The lack of understanding of this emotion was making her annoyed, but she did not hate it.

She looked at Lith, her gaze softening, and continued to listen.

"You have someone you can depend on now. Let yourself relax sometimes."

Lith then cupped her face with both his hands and squished them gently.

"I didn't get this opportunity to say it before, but you're really cute. I would've kissed those cherry red lips right here and now, but I don't want to rush things. I don't want to force myself on you. You need time to process your own feelings and understand what you need, or more accurately, deserve."

Lith then shook her squished face and said while continuing to bully her, "If you dare think you don't deserve any of this, I'll start spanking your lil b.u.t.t once again and punish you. The contract allows me to do it, in case you forgot."

A mighty devil, an existence feared by every sentient species, was being treated with such love and tenderness that anyone watching would be shocked out of their wits.

The scene looked like a man going up to a fierce, wild, lioness and squishing her face and making it shake.

Anyone would think of the man as an idiot, including the lioness, but with how odd his actions were, the shock made her unable to process what was happening and turned her silent.

Feeling satisfied with his actions, Lith kissed Keith's forehead again and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her back in his embrace.

"…you see that, boy? You'll be spouting such absolute cringe lines that would make your b.a.l.l.s tingle with embarra.s.sment when you are with someone you love. So don't be afraid. Go out there and find the one you connect with and ask her out. I'll give you 24 hours worth of time."

"…" Yam rubbed his eyes, as if doing so would make him hear what Lith had said once again.

Lith yawned with his hand in front of his mouth and said, "I have a feeling that you won't have any idea where to even start and you'll never be able to fulfill this condition. You know what…"

Lith got up and let go of Keith's shoulders, only to hold her hand and have her get up.

"…I'll go with you and a.s.sist. If you are unable to score even after me being your wingman… then there must be something inherently wrong with you…"

"…no… nothing's wrong…" Yam shook his head and hands aggressively. His tool was working fine and so were his hormones!

"Let's get going. We've already wasted too much time."

Lith said and pulled Keith and the boy away from the bustling street, teleporting to a place where the boy could hopefully find the love of his life.
