Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 618 Return Of Ren

Chapter 618 Return Of Ren

Lith deeply a.n.a.lysed Viona's interaction with Agalea.

He kept wondering why she would say things the way she had said it, but after much thinking, he came to a conclusion that she may be doing that because it probably was an irrelevant topic.

Irrelevant because only a few low level beings were involved in it. Viona may have thought that the Queen shouldn't bother herself with such little things.

Was she trying to b.u.t.ter up Agalea or was it her arrogance speaking was something Lith couldn't come to a conclusion.

In any case, Lith got to the conclusion that it was indeed an important matter and something he should look into.

People vanis.h.i.+ng mysteriously, in a world where there was magic was something Lith felt wasn't possible, unless some authoritative figure took part in it.

Who were involved and who weren't, the answer to this mystery would be beneficial to solve the problem in the Elven Society.

"I'll be making a visit to the Rosera lake." Lith looked at Agalea and said.

Agalea smiled. "Sure. I hope you find something."

Lith nodded. 

He took a sip of tea and as he was about to converse with Agalea further, something suddenly struck him and looking at her, he asked,

"Hey, I didn't ask this before, but, are you already well-versed with everything and have a solution planned?" 

Lith was asking just to be sure. Although at the banquet Agalea did say she could solve the problem, she didn't hint anything regarding her knowing everything.

Agalea chuckled and took a sip of tea. She looked back at Lith and asked, "What do you think?"

Lith shrugged. "I have no idea. If I did, I wouldn't have questioned." 

Agalea smiled in response and replied, "That's true. Hmm, well… to not keep you in suspense, I do know everything and also have an idea of what the solution should be. But…"

"But…?" Lith leaned forward and asked.

Agalea put her cup down and continued, "But, I won't be acting on it. I'll wait and see what problems you discover and what solution you provide. Who knows, maybe you might find something I failed to see?" 

Lith nodded. "Makes sense. So in conclusion, you indeed are aware of everything, right?" 

Agalea nodded her head lightly.

"Then, will you stop me from doing a few things which you know are a waste of time?" Lith asked the main question.

Agalea chuckled again. "Of course not. You have plenty of time to come up with a solution so I wouldn't advise you on anything. However, you do need to provide me with a few things which can stabilize the situation to some degree this year." 

"Right." Lith nodded. "I hope my solution matches with yours." 

Agalea smiled. "I hope so too. But, I'll be more happy if you find a better solution to it." 

"Let's see." Lith said and went back to having tea.

Five minutes later, the tea break was over and the puppy had finished eating his food as well.

Lith picked him up and was about to get moving when, Agalea asked,

"You've been roaming with the puppy for so many days, have you named him anything?" 

"Name?" Lith looked at Agalea and shook his head. "I haven't."

"Why?" Agalea asked with a curious smile.

Lith shrugged. "I forgot. And anyway, this guy might not even be alive with the way he's annoying me. So naming him makes no sense." 

Agalea covered her mouth and giggled. She had seen how Lith would get annoyed by the puppy.

"You should name him." Agalea stopped giggling and insisted.

Lith looked at the puppy as he heard that.

The white golden retriever puppy looked back at Lith and woofed, wagging his tail happily as he got Lith's attention.

Lith stared at the puppy for a few seconds and then turned to look back at Agalea. "Let's just call him Ren." 

"Ren? Why?" Agalea asked, curious to know why Lith gave such a name.

Lith wrinkled his nose. "Why else? Because I suck at naming."

Lith had a flashback of how he got Rena's gender wrong and named her Ren, but then due to his bad naming sense, changed her name to Rena.

He thought of taking Rena out on an adventure with him at that time, but when in the academy realized that she was better off with her family in Evernight.

Rena had shown some signs of missing her family to Lith in the academy. She was a wolf and wolves were a close pack. Their mental health deteriorated the more they stayed away from their pack and the same happened with Rena.

Although Rena did try to show that such a thing wasn't the case, at the end of the day, she was just a child, and keeping her away from her family wasn't nice.

Lith thus dropped her in the Dark Rose Forest where her pack was and it has been more than a decade since he last saw her but still had memories of.

The last time Lith hung out with Rena was when he was still in the academy. He vividly remembered trying to train Rena to be a good beast companion and was fighting with Ralph and Dennis.

After he dropped out of the academy and left Rena in Evernight, he didn't get the time to check up on her and hadn't seen her since.

In the last ten years, Lith was busy cultivating, going to war, marrying, and spending time with his wives that he didn't have time to do anything else.

Now remembering her, Lith made a mental note to go see her when he was back in Evernight, that is, home.

Anyway, Rena was history for Lith because of obvious reasons. Since she was someone he wouldn't be interacting with regularly, it was alright to name this puppy Ren as the names wouldn't clash.

There was such a backstory to a name that Lith just mentioned so casually. It was a pity that Agalea didn't know about it and just laughed it out when Lith said he sucked at naming.

Giving the puppy the name, Lith turned to look at him and said with a straight face, "Your name is Ren now. You hate it?" 

"Woof!" The puppy smiled and wagged his tail happily.

"Fufu… seems like he loves it." Agalea commented from the side.

Lith stared at the puppy as he heard Agalea's comment and couldn't understand why this guy was so happy with it.

But putting aside this thought to the back of his mind as it wasn't important, Lith asked Agalea to get going as they had many more meetings to attend.

Lith put Ren on his shoulder and made way for Agalea to get in front of him. He was an aide now and had to walk behind her and not in front. 

The two walked out of the courtyard and went to attend the rest of the meetings.

While Lith was busy with meetings, in a different part of the world, a few people had started making their moves in secret.

In the Human Continent, after the last meeting, the humans had come to a consensus to involve themselves with the Elves and as per plans they had formulated, the first batch of people who would interact with the elves was ready.

In an unknown forest in the Human Continent, there were five adventurers standing in a row like straight spears.

In front of them was Lucas and beside Lucas was Graham, the one with the most authority in the Human Continent after Darren.

"You five, repeat what's your motive." Graham asked calmly.

A man with a lean build took a step ahead and shouted, "TO MAKE THE ELVES PAY, SIR!"

A woman beside him, with a short stature, took a step ahead after him and shouted, "TO HAVE OUR VENGEANCE, SIR!"

In such a manner, one by one, all five shouted something similar and made Graham aware what their motive was.

Lucas's calm face had a small smile as he saw everything go according to the plan.

These five people that were in front, were 'made aware' that their close ones were harmed by the elves.

Due to that, they developed a deep hatred for the elves and were given an 'opportunity' to exact revenge for the same.

These five people were the first batch of people that would officially make the humans have a conflict with the elves. They had to be fools who weren't in their right state of mind and would do anything, even die, in hopes of getting revenge.

As they got fired up, Graham gave them a short speech of encouragement and finally sent them away through a portal after wis.h.i.+ng them luck.

When they were gone, Graham turned to look at Lucas and said in a serious tone,

"If this doesn't go well, we're abandoning the whole thing as discussed."

Lucas laughed lightly and said, "You don't have to worry. Things are going according to the plan."
