Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 545 Who Are You Talking To, Your Highness?

Chapter 545 Who Are You Talking To, Your Highness?

"...the work I told you about…"

As soon as Sel said that, Emilia turned her head towards her, only to have a blush appear on her face.

She had no idea Sel was in the room!

Emilia was too absorbed in her own world and forgot to look around. She was in her office and didn't think there would be anyone, except of course, she forgot that Sel was the one who had called her.

'I am so stupid…' Emilia thought to herself as the blush spread from her cheeks to her whole face.

Sel was standing calmly with no expression on her face. Except of course, she was internally smiling as she watched her madam's face.

Emilia did a light cough and getting away from Lith's embrace, she said in a calm tone, hiding her embarra.s.sment, "What work is it?"

As for Lith, he thought, 'Wait, there's actually work?' He was thinking that Sel had just made an excuse.

Sel then went towards Emilia and handing her a few doc.u.ments, said, "The convocation ceremony of the fifth years and the opening ceremony for the first years need your attention."

? Every year during the start, one batch would graduate while one would be admitted into the academy.

Although Emilia didn't need to look into this matter, sometimes her a.s.sistance was needed and finding the current situation the best, Sel used work as an excuse to get out.

Lith heard what Sel said and feeling interested, he chimed in the conversation of his wife and her secretary, asking, "Convocation ceremony?"

Emilia stopped looking at the doc.u.ments in her hands and faced Lith. She then nodded her head and said softly, "It's the graduation ceremony. The fifth years will be parting ways with the academy now."

But then Lith asked, "Aren't they graduated the moment they become Rank 6s?"

Emilia nodded again. "Many students are Rank 6s by the fourth year in the academy. But it's just around two to three hundred students, the number varying each year. Most of them are Rank 6s by the fifth year and so, they choose to graduate with the rest of the people at one time."

"The academy thus holds one ceremony each year to honour them and also to celebrate their graduation. They are also given some useful advices in this ceremony."

Lith nodded. "I see." He then stayed quiet and didn't ask Emilia further questions.

Emilia got back to looking at the doc.u.ments and Sel stayed quietly in her place, awaiting orders from her madam.

Lith in the meantime was thinking, 'I have not seen the graduation ceremony. In fact I didn't even see myself or my friends graduate. It's a sad thing. How about…'

A small smile formed on Lith's face as he thought of something amazing. He tapped Emilia's shoulder to grab her attention and asked,

"By any chance, can I attend the convocation ceremony?"

"Hmm?" Emilia tilted her head in confusion, not understanding why Lith would ask that.

Lith explained, "You know… I was a dropout. I didn't really see the ceremony happen."

"Ah…" Emilia understood. She nodded her head, knowing what Lith was trying to say.

She nodded her head and said, "You can attend. It's not a problem. Do you want to?"

Lith nodded. He then asked, "Can I have Ralph and Dennis join me?"

Emilia was the princ.i.p.al of this academy. This was her workplace. He couldn't simply do as he pleased and had to get permission from his wife.

Emilia had a light chuckle as she saw Lith ask her questions as if he was a stranger to her. "Of course you can." She said.

Lith was her husband, if she didn't fulfill her husband's wishes, whose wishes was she going to do then? And that aside, he should stop asking her questions as if he was an outsider. Emilia thought to herself, but was too shy to say it to Lith in front of Sel. She would say it later in private to him.

Lith smiled happily and pinching Emilia's cheek, he said, "Thank you, you're the best."

"Shtwop!" Emilia slapped Lith's hand away. Sel was in the room, you know!? She glared at him and tried to convey this through her eyes.

Lith didn't understand this and just chuckled in response.

Emilia then began working, as if nothing had happened between her and Lith and tried to ignore Sel.

Lith walked to the window in Emilia's office and called his friends while she did her thing.

In a few seconds, the call got connected and Lith heard from the other side:

"YOUR HIGHNESS, YOU ALIVE!?"

"WHERE WERE YO—"

"Stop yelling in the phone, idiot! *Thwack!*"

"Owh!"

Dennis's voice was so loud that even Emilia and Sel heard it from across the room.

Emilia turned to look at Lith and asked, "is everything okay?"

"All good, don't mind me." Lith said, loud enough for Dennis and Ralph both to hear it from the other side.

"Okay." Emilia replied and got back to doing her thing.

"Who are you talking to, Your Highness?" The curious Dennis asked.

"My wife." Lith unconsciously replied, not understanding the gravity of his words.

"WHAT!?"

"What!?"

This time it was Dennis and Ralph both that shouted on the phone.

Gasp!

Lith sucked in a cold breath of air as he heard that. 's.h.i.+z, I forgot I haven't said to the two that I am married. Oh boy…'

He then smiled and shook his head.

He was keeping things secret on a purpose because if word got out, there would be too much drama and chaos that would be caused.

Lith was fully aware that he appeared like an infant to all the vampires and immortals. He was just too young.

If word got out that he was married to not only the Vampire Queen and the Princess, but also the Dragon Supreme Rank, the War Angel, and the heir of the Constantine Clan, things would become too chaotic in the world.

The world would think that the Vampires and Dragons had banded together and many would be extremely terrified of everyone.

The lower level Vampires and Dragons would also take benefit of it by scaring he people even further and looting them.

There was also a possibility that the other Supreme Ranks may band together and attack, in Lith's opinion, as this would be seem like a threat to them.

For all such reasons, Lith kept quiet about it and didn't say it to anyone, not even his best friends, and also didn't invite anyone to his wedding.

But now that his tongue slipped, he knew words once said couldn't be taken back and he had to give a reasonable explanation or they would keep questioning things and may find him suspicious.

But then, Lith had an idea.

He cleared his throat and said calmly, as if he hadn't made any blunder, "Yes."

"WHAT!? I WASN'T INVITED!" Dennis yelled.

He wanted to taste the delicacies available only in the marriages! Why wasn't he called!? Wasn't his prince also his best friend!?

"Me too."

Ralph, being the smarter one between the two, probably got corrupted by Dennis and joined him in his conversation, failing to realize that he could've been more mature and formal.

"Well… it happened in private and was a secret, so I wasn't able to call you guys. I am so sorry." Lith said with a smile and apologized.

He didn't lie to his friends.

"Ah… Your Highness, you don't need to apologise for it!" Dennis exclaimed. "I was just joking, hehe~"

That was true. Dennis wasn't serious when he said that, but he was too surprised and his words slipped out of his mouth automatically.

"It's okay. You mustn't be so polite between us." Ralph also said. He was starting to understand that between friends, there were no formalities.

Lith thanked them for their understanding, to which he got told by Dennis,

"Your Highness, stop treating us as outsiders! Why the formalities!?"

Dennis said what Emilia couldn't.

Lith smiled as he heard that and continued, "Well… now you know the thing. As for who it is, when it happened, and how it happened, I'll tell you guys later about it. Can't speak about it on phone."

Lith didn't say the word that he was married out loud and spoke indirectly about it as Emilia was in the room. He didn't want the situation to escalate or drama to occur.

He was sure Emilia would understand things if he explained properly, but why take the risk to cause drama when you can simply avoid it?

Lith would ask Emilia later if he could tell his friends he was married or not. Since she was his equal half and reserved the right to tell him what to do and what not to.

Till then, he had to keep Ralph and Dennis in the dark.

"We understand." Dennis said and nodded his head on the other side, as if Lith could see him.

Lith then said, "Okay, that aside, I called you guys to talk about something cool that might be happening."

"OooOooO, cool eh? Something caught the Prince's eyes?" Dennis made sarcastic remarks.

"*Thwack!* Why are you so dramatic?"

Lith heard someone get smacked after the comment, and he was pretty sure who hit who.

But he didn't say anything about it and simply smiled. He then continued,

"So the thing is…"
