Vampire's Slice Of Life

Royal Castle, Nightingale.

Inside the royal kitchen.

There were two people sitting on a seat near a long rectangular table present in the middle of the kitchen.

Beside these two people were large firewood ovens, shelves containing many jars which in turn had many spices in them. There were lots of utensils, burners, and all in all, it was a very grand kitchen.

The two people were male servants, raised by Lilith herself. One of them was fat with short hair and the other was an ordinary looking, lean build middle-aged man. The two were having tea and talking to each other.

Ringgg! Ringgg! 

The telephone present in the middle of the center table rang and the middle-aged man picked it up.

“Hello?” The man said normally.

Hardly anyone important ever called in the royal kitchen. One reason was that the number wasn’t available to many and another was that nobody ate food and so these guys were free most of the time.

“Miguel, His Highness needs breakfast. Get to cooking.” Freya’s voice rang out from the other side._.

“What!?” Miguel, the ordinary looking middle-aged man, almost dropped the phone in shock.

It had been so long since they had made food for Lith. He went to the academy and there was thus no need for the royal cooks. They sat doing nothing in the kitchen and today was just another boring day for them. However, this call that Miguel suddenly got shocked as well as surprised him.

“Yeah, you heard me right. Cook it quickly and send it to Noman. He’ll deliver it to His Highness.” Freya said calmly.

Miguel was too shocked to say anything. But the fat guy beside him was still in his senses and he immediately took the phone from Miguel and asked in a soft voice, “Freya, does His Highness say anything about what he wants to eat?”

“No.” Freya said a simple word. 

“Got it.” The fat guy hung up after saying so.

He looked at the middle-aged man and said, “Miguel, it’s not the time to be zoning out. Quickly come out of your senses and prepare breakfast for His Highness with me.” 

Miguel’s shock calmed down and he nodded looking at the fat guy. “Juan, it’s been a long time since we had cooked for His Highness. Let’s prepare his favourite breakfast.”

The fat guy, Juan, shook his head and said, “His Highness doesn’t have any favourite breakfast dish.”

Miguel slapped the back of his head and said, “I mean, let’s cook the breakfast that he had requested us the most. His favourite chicken and egg fried rice.” 

Juan nodded and the two immediately got to cooking.

Juan quickly chopped the chicken while Miguel took out the spices and prepared the wok to cook rice. 

Juan handed over everything he cut and one by one, Miguel tossed them in the wok and prepared the chicken and egg fried rice within three minutes.

Miguel packed it in the tiffin box and called a butler called Noman through the telephone present.

The butler arrived into the kitchen through teleportation and left after taking the tiffin box.

The two cooks sat on their chairs near the center table and both got emotional.

“His Highness… H-he still likes to eat food made by us…” Miguel said while wiping his tears.

Juan had tears in his eyes as well. He wiped them and said, “after all these months, he has finally returned back to us. I am so happy.”

Cooking food for Lith brought great happiness to the two. He was the only one who had ever appreciated these two cooks’ food and taken interest in it. He had met with these two many times and also thanked him as well.

It was these two who had fulfilled all nutritional needs of Lith ever since he was three years old. They thought of Lith as someone who must always be taken care of and protected. They were acting sort of like his guardians. Lith was just that special to these two. 

Not just them, all other servants in the castle thought of the same thing. They all had formed a close bond with Lith and could even put their lives on the line to protect him. He was very special to everyone present.

Lilith or Lucy, both never stopped Lith from doing what he wanted. If he wanted to talk to the servants and get close to them, they let him do it. He was very nice to everyone in the castle and also very friendly. Lilith and Lucy did not understand why that was the case but since it wasn’t anything harmful to him, they didn’t stop him from doing so.

The servants at first avoided Lith because they thought they shouldn’t get close to their masters like that. But Lith broke these shackles and his free nature brought them close anyhow.

The servants respected and revered Lilith and Lucy, but it was only Lith whom they loved the most. He was their favourite.

Miguel and Juan were feeling so happy right now that they burst into tears. Even though they were both King Ranks, they couldn’t help it. 

They both cried their hearts out in happiness and finally after a few minutes, it was Juan who recovered first and said with a heavy throat, “Miguel, I’ll try and improve my cooking skills so that His Highness never thinks of eating at any other place.”

Miguel wiped his tears and said, “me too. Juan, let’s practice and sharpen our skills so much that the food we cook, it would remind His Highness of home and he would come back to meet us lowly people.”

“Indeed. Let’s get to cooking then.” Juan said and they both started cooking to improve their skills.

…..

Lenz Suburbs.

Lith had just finished eating his breakfast and looking at the clean bowl in front of him, he smiled and said softly, “Juan and Miguel must’ve worked hard to make this. It tastes as amazing as always. When I go home next time, I’ll definitely meet them.”

Home for Lith was where his mother and sister were. The rest of the places where he stayed, stays, or will stay will never be home for him. 

Home was a place where Lith felt the most peace at and also the most relaxed at. He only felt like that in his family’s company and they happened to live in a castle and thus the Nightingale castle was his home for now.

If Lilith and Lucy ever decided to live in a small hut in a small village, he would happily follow them and live there with them.

Lith packed his things for today and after he was done, he looked at the time and found it to be 9 am. 

“I am on time.” Lith said to himself with a smile. 

“Now let’s go and get some bounty.”
