Book 3: Chapter 19: Exposed Nature

It was a spacious, ancient-looking room that seemed to be able to accommodate more than a hundred people. However, all the doors and windows in the room were covered by a black cloth. The only source of light in there was a crystal lamp hanging above their heads. There were also many strange decorations around the room that made it look like some dark magic room in certain anime.

Lilith just managed to shake off the dizziness brought about by getting teleported through space. She struggled to sit up from the cold wooden floor and was greeted by this scene.

“Hello, Lady Lilith.”

As soon as she raised her head, she found Sae standing in front of her and watching her with kind eyes.

“Thou did not do anything that would cause the entire Luminous Theocracy to hunt us down after thou kicked me away, yes?”

“I didn’t.”

Of course she hadn’t done anything like that since the beginning.

“Lady Lilith, why turn thy head away?”Aall newest chapters on n.o./velbi/n/(.)com

“My neck is a little sore, so I’m doing a bit of an exercise.”

“Then Lady Lilith, why art thou avoiding my eyes?”

“I got sand in my eyes.”

“Liar! Thou should at least close thy dead fish eyes and put some effort into pretending! Who can still keep their eyes open wider than saucers when they have sand in there?!” Sae grabbed Lilith by her shoulders and started shaking her. “Lady Lilith, do thou understand how dangerous it is to be hunted down by a nation at our current strength?!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely have the demigod-ranked scroll in my hand in advance next time!”

“Thou do not understand at all! Please don’t keep that dangerous toy in thy hands. I do not wish to be killed out of the blue!”

Just when Sae was grieving about her bleak future and wished so badly to change masters right away, the room’s door was suddenly swung open. A group of people in black robes flocked in.

“Umm... I didn’t get the chance to ask just now, but where are we?” Lilith asked while putting up her guard against the black-robed people who had suddenly shown up.

“Don’t ask me! I have no idea either!” Sae huffed angrily.

“What? You’re still angry? What a petty girl you are.” Lilith pouted, then took two steps forward to approach the black-robed person who was closest to them. She stuck her flat chest out and asked, “Hey, black guy! Where is this place?”

“No...”

Looking at these two who were dying to show off earlier now acting all humble toward each other now, Sae couldn’t help but feel disgusted.

Are these two... mentally ill?

“Sae, bring me my throne.” Lilith suddenly ordered her.

“Ehhh? What throne?”

I don’t remember there was such a thing.

Lilith turned her head around with an expression that was telling her that ‘you’re dead meat if you don’t get what I mean,’ while playing with the demigod ranked scroll in her hand. “You know, the one I usually sit on.”

Sae’s cheek twitched as she irritatedly made an amethyst throne for Lilith with magic.

Lilith sat on the throne, then mimicked how her mom, the Queen of Dragons, would usually rest her chin in her hand. “I just killed another five thousand assassins from hostile nations today. I’m really exhausted.”

When Jasmine saw this, she also gave an order to the other black-robed men behind her. “You people, fetch me my magical seat.”

“But.. Jasmine... oh, oops... Shadow Mistress, you’ve never had any... magical seat.” Black-Robed Man A replied while trembling.

Jasmine stared at Black-Robed Man A for two seconds then said, “What do you mean by that? It’s the one that can transform into a human form when I’m not using it.”

The black-robed man was rendered speechless.

“Ah~!” Jasmine suddenly plopped down on her magical seat named Black-Robed Man A then exclaimed, “I just crushed fifty thousand rebels from the old world into pieces today. I’m really exhausted.”

“......”

“Um... Lady Lilith, may I ask a question?”

“What is it, my servant?”

“Is this...your true nature?”
