Lucifer successfully made half the people uncomfortable in the room with her comment.
The adorable mother-like image that Lith had of her all went down the drain. Without a doubt, this pervert was never going to change.
"Ahem." Mayzin cleared her throat, clearly expressing that she was sort of uncomfortable.
Lith got up from his spot and looking at Mayzin, said, "aunt, last time you said to me to get a treasure. I've finally found it."
"Oh?" Mayzin seemed interested. She had no idea why Lith would say such a thing at such a time, but treasures would always garner her attention.
Lith nodded. "Come with me, it's outside."
Lith's ladies stared at him with amusement. They could somehow tell what Lith was trying to do.
Wanting to get out of the situation, Mayzin found this the right opportunity and took an exit with Lith.
Lith made up some bullshit outside, talked to Mayzin for a while, and then went back to the room.
Mayzin wasn't stupid enough to go back to the guest room again, so she said something about wanting to grab some food and left Lith.
At the end of the day, Lith was a gentleman and wouldn't force any lady to do things she didn't want to.
When he was back, Lucifer said with a smirk, "look, Mr. Sweet talker is back."
Lith rolled his eyes in response. "It's you who made things awkward for everybody."
Lucifer chuckled. "Right, right. Anyway... it's time for you to take your reward now."
Lith smiled in response.
Lilith, Arya, and Agalea too smiled in a similar manner while Lucy and Emilia blushed slightly. As for Alea, she was confused, and Alexandra's body was heating up by imagining the things her darling would be doing to her soon.

Few days passed.
The Grand Banquet ended in a spectacular fashion and the whole Vampire society wished for the prosperity of their Prince and the Royal Family in general.
The world was in turmoil with Lilith's declaration and many people were debating on whether they should take up on the offer and beat up the Prince and Princess or not.
Nobody debated on if this was the right decision made by the Queen as nobody wanted to mysteriously disappear from this world.
Whatever the strongest Supreme being in the world said was correct. There were no doubts regarding that.
As for back in the castle, the ladies were all smiles and were currently enjoying the post party dinner together.
There was no need to eat food, but it tasted good, it made them feel warm, it gave them a reason to chit-chat, it was hence worth it.
Once their dinner was over, they all started leaving one by one after getting themselves a goodbye kiss from Lith.
It was only Alexandra and Alea that didn't leave. The two girls were about to achieve a breakthrough after their last dual cultivation session and it was best if they cultivated with Lith some more here in the castle.
Agalea, Arya and Emilia were promised that they would be called once the ascension started and just like that, the castle was back to its former peace.
Being free from things, Lith now decided to check on the things he had asked the people to do.
He sat in a courtyard, got himself some tea, and then called Hecate to get an update.
Hecate answered on call that everything went smoothly, in a fashion that Lith had instructed her.
This was a good start, thought Lith. Then, he summoned Luna to get an update.
Luna appeared right in front of him on one call, looking as sexy as ever in her maid outfit.
When asked for the update, she answered, "it went without a hitch, Your Highness."
"Details." Lith said and continued to sip on tea.
Luna nodded. "Duchess Adelstein was made to understand that there's a rebellion about to take place. She should be on high alert now."
"You ensured that your identity wasn't given out, right?" Lith asked the important question.
If the news came from the Royal Family, things would become troublesome. It had to be done anonymously.
"Yes, Your Highness. I tried to be as discreet as possible. The Duchess doesn't know who molested her."
Lith almost spit the tea hearing that.
Looking at Luna with a dumbfounded gaze, he asked, "what? What did you do?"
In a flat monotonous voice, Luna replied, "I acted as a perverted man, then molested the Duchess when she was in the ladies room."
Lith knitted his brows. "Why? I didn't ask you to do something like that."
Luna replied, as if it was all normal, "Your Highness, the Duchess hates men. The best way to let her know of things is to act as a perverted old bastard and molest her. This way, she'll not be in the proper senses and just focus on a few things, ignoring the others."
Lith still didn't think this was necessary though. "Luna, what will people make of me when they realize I've been using such underhanded means?"
Luna felt her Prince was misunderstanding something. "Your Highness, in case you didn't know, the Duchess would be more than happy if she were to know it was me who groped her. Not to mention, I think she's into those sort of non-consensual things. She was enjoying the assault I think."
Lith sighed hearing that. "Even if she was enjoying it, you should know that she's a Duchess, a person right below us. We can't go around assaulting nobles like this, alright?"
Luna bowed. "Understood, Your Highness. I won't do this in future."
Lith nodded. "Give me more details about it. Depending on the seriousness, I would personally need to meet the Duchess if things had gone too wrong."
"That won't be needed, Your Highness." Luna explained. "Firstly..."
Duchess Rivera Adelstein. She was a person who believed in battles and liked wars.
Since times were peaceful, she wasn't able to war with anyone, hence she spent her time conquering the unexplored parts of the continent.
In the last hundred years, she had found many new dimensions, dungeons, and even a completely new race of people.
The Adelstein territory was the biggest among the five Duke Clans due to her expansionist nature.
Rivera didn't indulge in domestic or international affairs. She kept to the Vampire Continent and enjoyed the scent of blood on the battlefield.
Slaying monsters brought a great deal of pleasure to her and entertainment. She had been doing this ever since she took the clan head position.
Other than that, Luna explained that the Duchess occasionally slept with women to satiate her lustful pleasures.
Lith didn't know why Luna was giving this useless info. It's not like he was a lady to sleep with the Duchess now, was he?
Luna continued on with her explanation and then stated that if the Duchess were to know it was Luna who assaulted her, she would be actually quite happy and favour the Prince even more.
Now this surprised Lith and made him understand why Luna said the previous statement.
Winning the favour of the Duchess was really easy.
Lith nodded in understanding and said to Luna that he'll keep note of it.
Luna then stated that the Duchess was probably preparing for a full scale war with this mysterious organization that was targeting her.
Lith was happy knowing this. He wanted exactly this to happen.
A final piece of information that Luna gave about the Duchess was that she was a master strategist. Her knowledge of warfare was unmatchable.
If wars were happening right now, she would probably emerge as one of the greatest strategists in the entire world!
Rumours said that she was as good as the Master Strategist Yanmei. A being that led the Humans to World Domination back in the Chaotic Eras.
If it weren't for her early assassination by the Demons who were instigated by the Witches, there would probably be no such concept of main race as all races would be beneath the Human Race.
Still, even after Yanmei's assassination, the plans she had left for the Humans were so formidable that Humans weren't wiped out and survived even through the Desolate Eras and continued to live on.
But, at the end of the day, rumours were rumours. n).OVelbIn
Lith didn't take such a claim at face value.
Sure Duchess Rivera Adelstein might be smart, but this was too much of an exaggeration now.
'However...' Lith suddenly had a thought. 'I can easily find out about Duchess Rivera's potential.'
That's right. A war was brewing and if the rumours were true and Rivera was indeed such a smart person then there was not a shred of chance for the enemy party to survive.
'Heh...' Lith flashed a wide grin.
He turned to look at Luna and pulling her close to him, made her bend down on his lap and lifted her skirt up.
Luna's big bare peaches came into view. Lith wasn't even surprised anymore about her lack of panties.
PAH!
"Ng." Luna let out a soft moan due to the sudden spank.
"Good job, Luna." Lith complimented her.
Luna turned to look at Lith, wondering why he would punish her if she did a good job. But well, she didn't hate it and happily accepted whatever her master gave her.
Grabbing onto Luna's soft butt, Lith kneaded it and wondered, 'I know a master strategist, no, I know two master strategists, let's see if the Duchess can match up to them. Hehe.'
