Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 1033 God, I'll offer you porridge!

"Get out!"

"Leave the kingdom, you traitors!"

"Fiendish faction, fuck far away forever!"

"Get banished!"

"Yeaaaah! Get banished!"

In the center of Semohr where a ginormous pillar pierced the sky, a group of Giants in black cloaks and covered faces were being yelled at by the masses.

They were kneeled on the ground with their heads bowed. Nobody could see their expressions or make out their response through their body language.

"Everyone, let's calm down for a while."

A man with a feisty mustache clapped his glove clad hand and said in a neutral tone. His voice wasn't overbearing, but the pressure emanating from him caused the crowd to turn silent.

The Giant bowed in front of the crowd while standing in front of the cloaked figures.

"I thank everyone's presence in the capital center, and am deeply moved by your interests in politics."

The man's words were polite and contained not the slightest hint of emotion to it.

"—I request all to please await judgment by the court. We are a peace loving race, we mustn't come to conclusions like this. Mother Seia has taught us patience being a virtue. Let's bask in those holy teachings and follow proper protocols."

The crowd turned silent. How couldn't they? The man in front was a noble of the highest order in the kingdom, yet he was bowing with such humility and requesting them instead of issuing an order.

"My sincerest gratitude."

The man did a small bow then stood erect like a spear beside the cloaked figures.

It was six in the morning. The streets weren't as crowded yet.

As time passed and working hours were about to start, more people could be seen walking on the streets. Some were relaxed while some were in a hurry.

Usually, nobody would've paid attention as they were busy, but today their steps halted as the crowd gathered around the center whispered about the traitors.

"Did you hear it?"

"Yeah. It's the previous chief's faction. How could they be like this…

"It was a big shock to me too. I always thought of them as benevolent and kind, but turns out they were just filled with malice and forged false evidence against Lord Cimir's faction."

"People sure have become heartless."

"Sigh. Tell me about it…"

The whispers sounded like murmurs as everyone was busy gossiping about the ongoing drama.

Amidst the crowd, a green-haired girl with clear round glasses walked in the crowd like an ant, trying to avoid getting stepped on.

There was a rosy blush spreading from the middle of her nose bridge to the sides of her cheeks. Her eyes showed her flustered emotions, and she seemed to be just moments away from crying.

"I mustn't get crushed. I mustn't get crushed. I mustn't get crushed."

The girl was chanting in her mind as she walked towards the center where the cloaked figures were.

'Please god… I hope I can deliver this or my life will end…'

There was a fearful expression on her face as she clutched the fabric within her lab coat's pockets tightly.

Her steps were staggering as she walked on three inches tall heels. Her life was tough as is and being forced to wear these only increased her worries.

It was five in the morning when she got up. For a change, she woke up early and thought of taking a shower before leaving for the delivery.

It turned out to be a really bad decision as the shower ran out of water. She didn't have any artifact to create water or Water affinity to cast magic related to those.

Half covered in soap, the girl felt like digging a hole and burying herself in it forever.

Thankfully, her panic didn't worsen as the water came back in a few minutes. She quickly washed herself, dressed up, and got out of the Inn with the package.

Not even two minutes out, she was almost crushed by a wandering Giant. They never looked down to see if there were people from other races and marched forwards like titans.

"Huff… huff…"

The girl was out of breath. An indoor rat like her didn't have the stamina to run a hundred kilometers. The Giant city was huge, so naturally its streets and buildings were going to be the same.

One Giant could easily travel a kilometer with a few steps. But the likes of her, who was barely as tall as a Giant's ankle, would need to take several hundred steps to reach her destination.

No matter what, at least she reached the place she was supposed to. It was at the center where the cloak figures were kneeling. She was standing in the front row and watching them.

'Huuuuge!'

Each Giant was as big as a hill and the girl felt as if she was standing in a deep valley.

Shaking her head, she smacked her pale cheeks, which reddened instantly, and said out loud, "I'll deliver this package by any means necessary!"

'B-b-but… do I really need to walk there?'

The girl fidgeted in her place and seemed like a deflated balloon, totally losing motivation she had hyped herself with.

'What's the difference between walking there and not walking there? Both routes lead me to my death. Haiz…'

With her crystal green eyes, she looked up at the sky, trying to wonder if some higher power was watching over her.

'God… please god… just let me deliver this one package. Let my luck not be so bad…'

The girl closed her eyes and chanted in her mind.

Far away from her, under the dark sky illuminated by a crimson-

silver moon, a majestic silverhead had her chin placed on her propped up hands.

She was staring at the empty space in front with a soft smile. Ones who may not know what she was looking at would think she was a psychopath.

But nothing was hidden from this divine figure's pair of amethyst eyes.

Lilith was looking at what Lith was doing in the Giant Kingdom with her spiritual sense that encompassed the entirety of the world. With her eyes, she was watching over Lucy, who was fighting a powerful being in another dimension.

While watching over them, Lilith heard a faint murmur. It wasn't a materialistic sound, but something that rang in her consciousness.

Tilting her head to the side on her interlocked fingers, Lilith said out loud, "It's been a while since I heard a prayer."

All Emperor Rank and above who cultivated using people's faith had the ability to filter out prayers. They would occasionally respond to some or the ones that were really serious, and would ignore the daily prayers of their worshipers.

Lilith hasn't heard a single prayer since Lucy was born. Nothing was as important as her children to her.

Since the two were grown up, it could be the reason why she heard a prayer at this time. If it wasn't that, then the person's consciousness could be on a higher scale as compared to the rest.

"Interesting…"

In Lilith's mind, the scene of the worshiper played out while her eyes focused on Lucy, and spiritual sense on Lith. At her level, multitasking such as these was not a big deal.

A youthful human girl with green hair wearing round glasses was praying as if her life depended on it.

Watching her for a few seconds, Lilith understood that her life indeed was dependent on it.

"Silly girl…"

Lilith shook her head with a smile. She hadn't seen an amusing individual like that in a while.

She appeared timid, weak, and was totally an inexperienced maiden, but there was more to her than what the eyes could see. Even she herself might not be aware of such things.

-Please god… please just this one delivery… I'll never take up shady work like this again!

-God, higher power, revered one above, the being who watches over everyone, I pray and request for one small chance. I'll escape immediately if there's an opening somewhere.

-I..if it seems like too much, then please only grant me some way out of this situation. I'll be turned into a slave if I don't complete this task.

-God… I-I-I'll offer you half of my morning and evening porridge! No, I'll offer you my full morning porridge as a tribute for a year straight! Please… I need this one chance.

"Fufufu… quite a silly child."

Lilith had a glimpse at her fate and past. She had some strings of fate connected with Lith for some unknown reasons.

Lilith hadn't seen this girl in the memories her future self sent to her. Maybe something had changed somewhere that had her appear.

This girl's past… it wasn't pleasant for sure.

At present, she was so broke that she couldn't afford to even eat. She had no artifact on her that would help her travel and she also did not possess an affinity to the Space or the Wind element.

What she had was the Life affinity along with Fire, Water, and Earth.

Her cultivation base was pitiful. She was barely a Rank 6.

Still, to be able to make Lilith listen to her prayers, she wasn't someone ordinary.

Lilith flashed a gentle smile while looking at this silly child and said softly:

"Bless you."
