Roy had no answer.
He had never felt so defeated before and was at such loss that he let fate decide what it wanted to do with his life.
A defeated man was no fun and Lith dismissed Roy. He held a good impression of the man for multiple reasons. The primary ones being that he thought about his clan through and through while also knowing when he had to take a few steps back and when to charge.
He did his best to stop Lith's march of destruction and it was a comndable thing in itself. Such n were rare to find and thus, due to his own potential, he wasn't killed yet.
Jacquline left the table with Roy, and now that there were only people close to Lith along with the rcenaries, it was ti to talk about the important matters.
Qingshan was beside Lith. He turned to her and said, "I think we should give this place to the Asuras and let them infiltrate the EGC. We can also pin the bla on them for killing the 12th Pillar."
Qingshan nodded her head in agreent. "That would be great. It would draw attention away from us."
"Yes. So maintain anonymity and tip the Asuras that there's a traitor in the Everlasting Sunshine World who could give them access to the deeper parts of the EGC's territory. We'll wait for them to co here." Lith instructed.
Qingshan nodded her head and imdiately left to get the work done.
Lith then turned to Hyunsuk, his disciple, and asked, "How's your cultivation faring off? I've been quite busy lately and couldn't tend to you."
Hyunsuk bowed respectfully and said, "Master doesn't need to worry. Cultivation is going well."
"Is Noman teaching you well?"
"Yes. His Holiness taught many things, from combat to elental laws. I will be ascending to the Half King Rank soon." Hyunsuk answered.
"That's good." Lith was satisfied by the answer. But then he caught onto sothing. "Though, why are you referring to him as His Holiness?"
"Everybody around him calls him that, so I felt I should too. He's quite older and it feels like I'm talking to an ancient being, so calling him brother Noman doesn't feel right." Hyunsuk answered frankly.
Around the table, Fanny nodded her head unconsciously. She quite agreed with Hyunsuk. That angel man was too holy and did not seem to be in the sa generation as the rest.
Lith understood his disciple too. Noman did give off such vibes. He had seen the interactions he had with Neo, his avatar, so he could relate.
Speaking of Neo, it had been a long ti since he last communicated with him. Now was the right ti to summon him as he could do a lot of work for Lith.
If he died, it wouldn't matter since everything about him would be preserved as long as Lith lived. The sword which was his main body would be gone, but he could always have another one, it wouldn't be a problem.
Lith thought of Neo and soon, space twisted around him and out appeared a dark and magenta colored sword giving off an aura of pure Destruction, fascinating everyone in the courtyard.
Neo transford into his humanoid self and kneeled on the ground, paying respect to his master.
Lith had a short chat with his avatar, catching up on him, and once the instructions were given, he stood behind Lith like a proper butler.
The ladies were amused to find Neo giving off an aura similar to Lith's. It was their first ti coming across him because usually, they stuck to the inner ring of the castle while Neo spent ti with Noman in the outer ring.
Their amusent eventually died down as Lith began talking on other topics and diverted their attention.
"Keith, what do you think about Roy?" Lith dragged the silent Devil into the conversation.
Keith looked at her master with her pair of bright crimson eyes and said, "He's intuitive. Adapts fast too."
Conversation wasn't her forte and she was a woman of few words. Even with her daughter, she didn't speak much and was usually on the listening end.
Lith agreed with Keith on that and turning to Sylvia, asked, "Did he seem as cunning as Florencia?"
Sylvia nodded her head softly. "Yes. But not as scheming or crafty. It could be a potential downside."
"How can it be a downside?" Fei was the one to speak this ti. "It's actually good to know that he isn't scheming. If he had multiple faces, we wouldn't be able to guess his true intentions and the only fate awaiting him would be death as he could never be trusted."
"If you're thinking of him as a subordinate, then yes, this trait is a bonus, but… as a subordinate, he'll just be intelligent. If he's not scheming, he cannot help the master conquer other powerhouses." Sylvia argued.
Fei nodded and replied, "That's true, but you could just pair him with soone scheming and balance off the problem."
"It doesn't work like that." Sylvia shook her head. "If he doesn't have both qualities, he's useless."
"So you're suggesting he should just be killed?" Fei asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Just kill him." Keith interjected and tried to put an end to the argunt by giving her two cents on the matter.
"Mom…" Fanny looked at her mother and shook her head, gesturing her to not put herself in between these two's argunts, and also to not be so fast to jump to conclusions.
"They'll keep arguing…" Keith stated. She ant that these two wouldn't stop if a conclusion wasn't given.
Sylvia was a quiet person like Keith, but occasionally with Fei, she would argue and speak a bit.
Fei and Sylvia continued to argue and they made so valid points that Lith couldn't overlook.
A few minutes later, a talisman fluttered out of Lith's pocket. It was for communication and on the other end was Qingshan, who stated that the Asuras were here, and that he should hurry and do what he must.
Lith got up from his seat and said to the ladies around the table, "Keith, you're coming with . Fei, Fanny, you're in charge of managing this place. Sylvia, keep an eye out on Shi and Liz. Make sure they don't cause any trouble. Also, contact Luna and ask her to co here. Neo, bring Hyunsuk and Lucas to when I ask you to."
"Understood, master." Neo bowed.
Keith stopped besides Lith, who then gently held her arm above the elbow, and walked inside a portal.
If it was anyone else, they would've had their hands chopped into pieces and shoved down their throat, but Lith was a total exception to everything.
From getting her butt spanked unnecessarily to feeling genuinely amused when he held her arm, Keith had co a long way.
In recent tis, Lith had been quite respectful and did not treat her in the way she had hoped he would when he forced her to sign a ten thousand year maid contract.
Being a maid may seem like a bad job, but this was the best job or position Keith had ever been at.
She barely had work and could roam around wherever she liked. There was no restriction to movent.
She could sleep as much as she wanted, eat as much as she wanted, and even had lots of resources available to cultivate.
She had so much free ti that even after spending ti with her daughter to her heart's content, she had lots left.
Having nothing to do was boring, so she took up work from the castle and did it. After its completion, she was back to being free.
Keith was truly at a loss on what she should be doing. She had no reason to run away because there were no enemies or threat to life.
Lilith was scarier than the Almighty Devil, and Keith knew for a fact that this clan was the safest place to ever exist. Even if she had any enemies, they wouldn't dare to breach this castle's gate, so the threat to life was actually gone.
Keith had truly succumbed to a peaceful life and was free to do whatever she wanted.
She only realized now that she didn't really have anything to do.
All her life she had been running to save herself. When she finally reached a safe place, she realized she had nothing. No friends, no hobbies, no nothing.
She had her daughter, but her daughter had a life to live too. Fanny had a lot of stuff to do and she would be bored if she kept talking to Keith, thus she was left by Keith to her own accords to do things she liked.
Keith was surprisingly a good mother and also very understanding.
Though, with Fanny gone, she totally had no clue on what she should or could do.
With so much free ti on hand, Keith naturally compared her past to her present and thought of the future. She ca to a conclusion that there were many bad n, but it was only in a coal mine that one found diamonds.
Lith was one of those rare diamonds, a man among n who didn't resort to pathetic cheap tactics to get won.
If he wanted to, he could force Keith to submit to him.
Keith was an absolute beauty and she knew of it. She knew how desirable and seductive her current body was. Add to that, she was a rare species, a devil, and also a virgin.
Virgins were absolutely cherished and wanted by the vampires, so it wouldn't be a surprise if Lith forced himself on her.
However, none of that happened.
Lith had only ever done one wrong thing, and it was forcing her to sign a contract. However, when Keith looked back at those tis, she knew that she would've killed him the mont he pulled her out of that ritual.
He had made her sign that contract to keep himself safe and also to have her follow him. Had he not done that, she would still be on the run, trying to protect herself and her daughter from her enemies.
This vampire man, he unconditionally gave her everything without wanting anything in return. He was a fascinating person for sure, and soone Keith had a positive opinion of.
He was hateful initially, when he unreasonably spanked her, but with how mature he had gotten over the years…
Keith looked at him in a good light.
Many things went on in Keith's mind as she walked together with Lith.
They were in the middle of a city in the Everlasting Sunset world and Lith seed to be waiting for soone to arrive.
Like a good maid, Keith stood behind him and waited for the said people to co, and acted as his bodyguard, ready to protect him from any harm that may potentially co up.
