A few hours earlier.
Lilith was going around the castle, preparing to hold the court session like usual. On the way, she saw the salamander that ca together with her, and since he was a dangerous fellow, she brought him to the castle to show there were people stronger than him beside her.
Obviously, his appearance piqued many people's interest as it was rare for Lilith to bring soone in.
That thought only stopped after Lilith told them what had happened.
No wonder Lilith brought this guy over. The salamander was simply too strong. Although they didn't want to admit it, the salamander might be among one of their strongest people.
So, they agreed with Lilith's decision.
Lilith also shifted their attention from the salamander to the volcano. Although the eruption wasn't that big compared to the records in the royal library, the area was still devastated, especially the elves that sought refuge in the neighboring town.
She wanted them to settle everything about the volcano eruption. Albert's na also appeared again from her mouth, revealing the danger of a volcanic eruption.
Those who handled this problem imdiately gathered the information and proved that theory.
With the war going on, the court had beco extrely busy. Lilith was on her way to the throne room to et with her ministers and stopped just to see whether the salamander created a problem or not.
She prepared to eliminate him after all.
When she looked in his direction, she noticed two powerful experts on his side, preventing him from doing anything funny. They were a succubus and a nine-tailed fox respectively.
As soon as they felt Lilith's gaze, they turned around and greeted him from afar. Lilith only waved her hand to greet them back. But this action also took the salamander's attention.
When their eyes intertwined, the salamander waved his hand as if asking her to co.
Curious, Lilith went to him and asked, "What do you want?"
Since the two had no idea about each other's language, the salamander had no idea what she said. However, he still drew a few symbols to communicate.
The first symbol was a heart symbol.
"Eh?!" Lilith was shaken by the first symbol and pointed at him and herself, asking whether he liked her or not.
The salamander surprisingly shook his head. As expected from soone that ca from the Horny Jail, he couldn't be chard by her natural charm anymore.
Since she understood the aning of that symbol, the salamander continued and used its sharp claw to draw the second symbol.
This ti, he drew a dog face.
There wasn't even a need for a word to understand who he was talking about. But it also made her a bit embarrassed as she scratched the back of her head.
She looked left and right, not knowing how to answer this. On the one hand, it would be wrong if she said she didn't have any interest in Albert. On the other hand, it wasn't at that point yet.
Seeing her reaction was enough for him to get so information about their relationship. The salamander thought, 'This woman seems to be interested in him but does not have the courage to do it.
'This is the best chance to get revenge. That guy said he prefers to be alone for the ti being. It's ti for to break that situation and annoy him.
'This woman seems to have so authority, so she should be able to do anything she wants. In that case, if I can force this woman to take action, I can destroy that guy's daily life.'
The salamander had an evil plan in his mind, not aware that the plan was actually considered a 'win' in people's eyes.
But because he was the ruler who didn't have any experience in love, he thought this was enough to ss with Albert. After all, this was what Albert used to take him out for three days.
'If they don't want to be together, I need to make them together to take my revenge. Just you wait, you dog.' The salamander smirked inwardly while drawing a few more symbols.
Lilith's face beca troubled as she looked at all those symbols. She never expected that the salamander was this bold.
'Normally, a noble family will have their sons and daughters to be a tool to expand the family's influence. The marriage won't have any significant feelings.
'I am a royalty and have expected to live with this fate in the future just to produce an heir that can lead the kingdom.
'But if I can choose one, I truly want Albert. He's progressing at a rapid rate and has been dealing with many important tasks. His existence is equal to a national treasure too.
'If I can marry him, his existence might beco the pillar that supports the entire country. Sadly, Albert had made it clear that he didn't want anything like that simply because there was no feeling between us.
'Am I wrong not to take that step? With my authority, it's easy for to capture him and have him marry . But at the sa ti, he will have a hatred for this country.' Lilith pinched the bridge of her nose, falling into deep thought.
It was then she saw the last symbol the salamander drew with his claw. The symbol was none other than a gift box.
This reminded her about the 'reward' that she was supposed to give to Albert. But because she had been giving him too frequently, she had no idea what to give anymore.
It was at this ti an absurd thought ca to her mind. She couldn't help but gasp, thinking, 'That's right. How about I give myself as a reward?'
She started listing Albert's contribution and potential along with the future benefits that they could get.
'Albert has killed a sli king that can destroy a town, dealt with a forr general that had turned into a wraith, purified the pixie tribe, been recognized by Raisa, and trained two people with more than one elent in their body.
'As for his potential, his progress as well as his people's growth exceeds everyone's imagination. He also possesses many jobs and elents. He can even use them perfectly. Then, he seems to have so thod to increase the power of those who serve him And it's Pure Energy. His power is also unique and can solve many problems within the kingdom. He's kind but not that naive. He's capable and friendly.
'As for the benefits in the future, I can't even imagine what kind of thing he can bring in the future. There are too many possibilities. With how he beca stronger so fast, he might beco stronger than sooner or later. I can prove this theory in our fight a few months from now. Either way, his contribution will be enormous in the near future.
'Love can be nurtured. I would be lying if I said I'm not interested in him So, it's alright for . As for him, I need to respect him as well. I should give him so boundaries.
'Since he wants to go on a long journey, I should wait for him. I can still live for at least a few hundred years, so waiting for him isn't that much of a problem.
'But what I'm worried about is that if I wait too long, he will be snatched by other people, especially from other countries. The Holy Kingdom also has started moving and their target seems to be him. According to him, he ca from the sa world as those braves In that case, they might take him away from .
'If his power is the bane of my Lust Kingdom, I should keep him close to all the ti. And to prevent him from being snatched, I should marry him No, he won't agree. I should get engaged first. This way, I can protect him more easily and prevent anyone from taking him. The only problem will be his safety Well, I can hide our relationship for the ti being. With his progress, he shouldn't need my protection in one or two years.
'That's it. I should propose to him right now and use the gift as the pretext. He's the only man who sees for who I am It's perfect then.' A bright smile appeared on Lilith's face. For the first ti in her life, she got quite excited when thinking about a man.
After all, every man she encountered would either look at her with hostility or be stunned by her beauty.
And she had been planning to do this the entire ti. She was just waiting for the right ti.
With the last push from the salamander, the hesitation in her heart vanished, and Lilith finally returned to the throne room to talk with Albert.
The salamander made an evil smirk as he said, "Got you now, you bastard."
