Chapter 144 - Make Amends

During the night, Albert was sleeping on his bed peacefully until he felt a slight press on his crotch and chest area.

"Mhm?" Albert let out a small moan while opening his eyes, wondering if someone had entered his room to wake him up.

However, the first thing he saw was a pair of sharp but enchanting red eyes.

Recognizing these eyes, Albert opened his mouth, calling her name. "Lilith? What are you doing here?"

"Huh?" Albert tilted his head in confusion and started pushing her shoulders away, trying to get some distance before realizing she was sitting on top of him. "What are you doing? And where do you sit?"

Lilith moved her butts a bit before saying playfully, "Hmm… You have one here. This is the first time I've seen no reaction, especially when I'm on top of you."

Albert raised his hand and summoned his Bonk Bat.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Lilith immediately stopped moving. "I was joking. Please put down that bat…"

"…" Albert paused for a moment before the bat vanished into thin air.

"To be honest, I'm curious why you're not reacting strongly? I thought you were going to escape and hit me with your weapon the moment you woke up… After all, I was intruding your place…"

"So you know about that."

"Hehe."

"Anyway, Shella can't fall asleep. It's a kind of torture for her, but she also becomes the reason. Someone who can slip past Shella or even beat her without getting noticed is a strong fighter. I won't stand a chance against this kind of person. So, even if I reacted, I would have died." Albert shrugged.

"Fair judgment." Lilith nodded.

"So, what are you doing here? And can you move away?"

"I'm here to make amends." Lilith smiled. "I have heard about your situation. Not getting any compensation from the guild after all the work you've done… This was my fault."

"Oh…" Albert nodded, recalling what Yale said earlier. "Well, you shouldn't move because of this problem, right?"

"No. This is my problem." She shook her head with a serious expression. "I was the one ordering the manager here to take care of you and requested your help if something big happened. So, the least I can do is to provide assistance and reward.

"Unfortunately, not only the assistance did you receive was small, but the reward was also nonexistent."

Albert sighed. "Yale was also at fault. He walked away in anger even though he met Steph."

"He has the right to do that. You've completed it with the best result, yet, you were treated like trash."

"Well, I didn't really care that much. The situation could've been resolved if Yale would just consult with Steph. So, she wasn't in the wrong. She's not Erica after all."

"Do you want me to call Erica here? I'm sure she can prevent anything like this from happening again."

"Nah, it's fine. I've heard about your defense system, so there's no need." Albert shook his head. "Just compensate me according to my work, and we can call it even. Irena is still in the forest anyway, so the job is not done yet. I was planning to go to the brothel three days from now if the situation continued."

"You're truly kind." Lilith placed her hand on Albert's cheek.

"No. I prefer to solve this situation as calmly as possible instead of raging. Yale probably did it because he was the Pride Kingdom's former prince, so…" Albert shrugged.

"Anyway, I'm going to compensate you for this situation and the emotional damage you received." She chuckled. "I will give you a hundred gold coins and sleep together with you for tonight. How's that?"

"You seriously said that? I mean, the second part."

"Yep." Lilith nodded. Her serious face told him that she was truly going to do it.

"I don't need that. Just compensate me with 100 Gold Coins. That's enough. Also, if you want me to help, there's no need for an intermediary party like the guild anymore. As long as what you ask is not that absurd, I don't think I will reject it."

"Mhm, alright…" Lilith looked down with a disappointed face.

"Why do you look so disappointed? Seriously."

Lilith chuckled. "I was just teasing you. Alright then, let me solve this situation for you, and I'll send the one hundred gold coins."

"Yep. Sounds about right."

"Sorry for waking you up in the middle of the night."

"It's fine. You should be tired too after traveling from the capital to this remote town. You must have spent a considerable amount of stamina."

"Ahaha." She rose from Albert's bed and reached for the window. "I'm going then."

"Yep." Albert nodded and saw Lilith jumping out of the building before going back to sleep.

On the other hand, Lilith's face became grim as she flew toward the receptionist guild. Although it wasn't as crowded as during the day, there were still many people inside.

Hence, Lilith floated in the air, looked down on the building, and shouted. "All the people in the Adventurer Guild shall come out! This is the order from me, Lilith!"

The succubus who were stationed in the area also shouted. "This is the royal decree. All Adventurers need to leave the guild right now."

Without hesitation, the succubus entered and expelled all of them at once. The guild master had gone back, so there were only a few staff and adventurers.

At the same time, two other succubus came to the area while bringing the man responsible for this action.

A succubus flew to Lilith with her body shaking, resisting her charm. "Your Majesty. The guild is empty and the perpetrator has been caught."

"Good." Lilith pointed her hand toward the guild as four huge red-colored magic circles appeared in four directions, trapping the guild inside a translucent barrier.

After that, another magic circle appeared on top of the roof.

A flash of light brightened the entire town for a bit before a loud explosion shook the town.

Boom!

During that night, everyone woke up and found a huge smoke rising into the air.

Lilith, on the other hand, landed in front of the middle-aged man who looked at her with a foolish face as though he was in the entrance.

Lilith waved her hand and the head fell off. "Hang him on the city gate for thirty days… No, feed him to the monsters. It seems that the guild thinks they're in charge here. To even dare treat my country's honored guest badly. Deal with the rest."

The succubus lowered their heads with half of them already charmed by Lilith. Still, the remaining ones lowered their heads. "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lilith then disappeared into the night, heading to another place.
