Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 712  Zadkiel

Chapter 712  Zadkiel

"Now I must be blinded!"

Saying so, Zadkiel brought his hands close to his face to blind himself.

"Stop it, will you?" Emilia's tone was serious this time and contained authority.

"Y-Y-Yes." Zadkiel s.h.i.+vered in fear and answered.

Despite being an Emperor Rank himself, he was no different than a kid in front of Emilia.

Lith, not understanding what was happening even a single bit, tiptoed close to his wife and whispered in her ears, "honey, what's happening?"

Emilia was about to turn her face to look at Lith, but felt that his face was dangerously close to hers.

If she turned now, they would end up kissing. Since Zadkiel was looking, it wouldn't end well in this place.

Thus, Emilia took a step to the side and turning slightly to see her husband, she said, "You are in Ascendria, husband. This is my hometown, I was born and raised—"

"WOOOOOOOW!" Lith had stars in his eyes after hearing it and exclaimed.

Anything related to his wives, he was super interested and invested in it. In the modern lingo,

He was a simp for his wives!

He took a step forward and holding Emilia's hands, said in a happy Lith wouldn't lie, it was only now did he get the information that his wife was from this place.

tone, "Why didn't you tell me sooner? We could've toured this place, you know?"

Lith wouldn't lie, it was only now did he get the information that his wife was from this place.

He had talked to Emilia about so many things, but never did it cross his mind to ask her where she was from.

Maybe somewhere he thought that the Neutral Continent was his wife's permanent residence and if it wasn't that, Nightingale was there for her.

Whatever the reason, he was genuinely happy to know this and his reaction wasn't exaggerated. He loved his cute little Angel wife very much and every bit of information was something that interested him.

Emilia's face flushed with embarra.s.sment as she saw her husband's exaggerated reaction. She thought to herself, 'why can't he be normal for once!?'

It was for the first time in years did Emilia think that she really needed to discipline her husband. If she didn't, he would really embarra.s.s her even more!

Emilia had tried her best to remain a loving wife and tolerate all of her husband's shenanigans, but now she realized that she had to step up and give Lith punishment, otherwise he would never learn!

What would the punishment be? Emilia hadn't thought that far yet as she decided to think of it after going home.

Shaking her head, Emilia said, "We'll talk about it later. For now, what's important is that I was from here, and once I reached the War Angel status, I became the Angel King of this country and stayed here for quite a while."

"I see, I see." Lith suddenly had gla.s.ses from out of nowhere and was taking notes of everything his wife was saying.

"Can you— gimme that!" Emilia was annoyed and s.n.a.t.c.hed the notes from Lith. It was useless to ask him to stop.

"Hey! Give it back!" Lith said. He needed to note it down for future reference, you know? What if he forgot?

Emilia just shook her head and sighed. She had no idea what her husband was up to, but one thing was for sure, there was quite a bit of trouble she would need to go through.

"Anyway, so, I don't know what happened after I joined the academy, but I can see that Zadkiel there is now the Angel King in my stead."

As soon as Emilia said that, the people in the room gasped and two among them plopped to the ground.

They realized the person who had barged in was none other than the War Angel herself, and this sudden burst of happiness that they felt, knowing that their G.o.ddess was right in front of them, made some of them pa.s.s out.

While everyone was s.h.i.+vering, Emilia ignored them and turned to face Zadkiel.

"Kiddo, when did you become an Angel King? And if you have become one, why are you kneeling? Get up, look me in the eyes."

Even though Emilia was as sweet as candy, when it came to disciplining someone, she would become a strict mother and take things seriously.

This wasn't typical of her, but being around Arya so much, she had learnt a few things here and there.

Even for Lith it was his first time looking at his wife act like an older sister or mother type figure.

"No, Your Holiness. I mustn't." Zadkiel shook his head and said.

Although he was very confused as to why the War Angel was calling the man behind her as her husband, he wasn't nosy and didn't try to poke his finger into places he wasn't supposed to.

"I said get up." Emilia said with a slightly angry tone.

"Y-Y-Yes." Zadkiel was like a little child, obeying every command only the second time.

He stood up straight like an erect spear and had his head lowered to not see Emilia in the eyes.

His reactions made Emilia sigh and rub her temples.

"Get out, all of you. I need to talk to Zadkiel." Emilia commanded.

If Emilia hadn't mentioned the latter sentence, even Zadkiel would've gone out.

He wasn't stupid, but he also wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed when in Emilia's presence.

The people kneeling and bowing on the ground left with their heads lowered.

They never saw Emilia and didn't even dare to. They were worried they might die out of happiness and also felt that they may probably offend their G.o.ddess.

With some struggle, everyone was out.

Emilia and Lith took a seat while Zadkiel stood standing.

"Zadkiel, you are a grown up. Not a child anymore. Why are you behaving like this?"

Zadkiel had no idea what to answer to that question.

Emilia shook her head. "Forget it. Tell me, what things happened in Ascendria after I was gone."

Zadkiel nodded. "When Her Holiness left, many were bawling their eyes out while hugging your statues. You must've heard their cries, right?"

Emilia nodded. She was aware of her wors.h.i.+ppers' sadness.

"Right. Then they were all very depressed and since this place had no Angel King, a lot of problems occurred with the major one being people roaming around like mindless beasts. The Heavenly Court took action and a temporary Angel King was placed here."

"However, n.o.body liked that person as he was an outsider and not someone from Ascendria. The Angel King was benevolent and good, but disliked by the ma.s.ses."

Emilia nodded and asked Zadkiel to continue while Lith suddenly brought popcorn from out of nowhere and started munching on it.

"Want some?" He leaned to the side to give some to his wife, trying not to be selfish.

Emilia knitted her brows and slapped Lith's hands away.

She placed a finger on her lips and asked Lith to be quiet and behave.

Lith shrugged. Hey, he wasn't to be blamed if the popcorn got over. He did his best to offer it.

"Right, then, a few years later, I was close to ascension. His Majesty himself helped me when he realized this and I soon became an Emperor Rank. Once that happened, I was given the Angel King status, invited to the Heavenly Court, and then made ruler of Ascendria."

"Of course, I know I'll never be able to replace Her Holiness and if Her Holiness wishes I'll step down—"

Emilia showed her palm and gestured to Zadkiel to stop speaking.

"I don't want your position, Zadkiel. Keep it and rule well. What I am the most concerned about is, why are you still wors.h.i.+pping me? You are an Emperor Rank yourself, you should be out there gathering believers and use them as an anchor to stabilize properly."

Zadkiel smiled awkwardly. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Well, Your Holiness, I still look up to you. I vividly remember the days you taught me how to hold a sword and fight. Even though I've reached the same position as you, I have not reached the same height."

Zadkiel then showed a proud smile. "And I am sure I'll never be. Because if I do, then it'll just mean I have become better than you, which is something that should never happen."

Emilia rubbed her temples hearing that. 'This kid…'

"Sniff… Sniff…"

She suddenly heard sobbing sounds and turning to the side, saw Lith wiping his tears with a napkin.

"Wha— ugh." Emilia gave up immediately before even trying to understand her husband's emotions.

She just let him do whatever he wanted to at this point.

Emilia diverted her attention to Zadkiel and said, "I didn't solely teach you how to fight and other things. I taught your entire orphanage until you guys became Rank 6. It wasn't much anyway, so why still look up to me?"

"It's about time you stop wors.h.i.+pping me, Zadkiel."
