Chapter 1039 A New Servant

"W, what is the Chief doing!?"

"Oh, mother! What is he doing..."

"To prostrate so shamefully..."

"Are you guys sure that is really the Chief?"

"Yeah. I have never seen the Chief with a woman like that. Who is she?"

No matter the race, people everywhere were fond of gossip as it was quite entertaining.

Suffering was always welcomed and entertaining to look at, as long as it didn't happen to oneself.

This was the Chief of Giants. To prostrate in front of someone like that was a matter of utter shame.

"Who is he even prostrating in front of?"

"Oh, Mother. I can't believe someone so pitiful is our Chief."

The words were venomous, but in Khimav's eyes, there were only two people who could see and hear. One was a blonde-haired beautiful Giantess, who was his wife, and the other a silver-haired man standing on the pillar in front.

The same was the case with Khimav's wife Yvonne.

Having just revived to good health, her mind was a mess. However, she believed in her husband, and did what he asked her to.

Lith's case was similar.

Being used to crowds ever since he was a child, the heckling did not enter his ears, and he treated them as air.

In his vision, there was only Khimav, his wife, and his aunt standing behind him and staring daggers at him. He sure was going to be killed if he tried to look back.

"Milord, I was wrong to have doubted you!"

Khimav's personality took a 180° flip. Or rather, his true personality now showed up as the tough outer shell broke apart after his wife's revival.

He was a normal child, living a normal life, going through a normal course of love, and parenthood, until one fine day, his wife who was his everything was taken away.

He was forced to mature and become strong — do things he never wanted to.

Now that his wife was back to normal, there was no need to fulfil the Goddess' request since he did not require her blessings or mercy.

Lith looked down at him with a calm gaze. He had no opinion of Khimav. This man was doing what his circumstances forced him to. Being weak and helpless was the root cause of all troubles in this world that worked on power.

"Get up. Stop with such a shameful display, you're embarrassing me."

Truth to be told, Lith did not feel embarrassed or even cared. It was just that there weren't better words than this to say to Khimav.

Khimav got up from the ground on Lith's command and wiped his tear-filled eyes. His forehead was bleeding after the aggressive slamming, but those were the least of his concerns.

Yvonne, his wife, held his arm from the side and bit her lips. So far, she did not know what all things had transpired, but to see her husband react in such a way, she could guess that the silver-haired person on the pillar was someone important and revered.

She gave Lith a meaningful glance of gratitude and sorrow. She only hoped that the man did not ask for her husband's life or something, in exchange for saving hers.

"Don't look at me like that. I don't care about your pitiful lives. Whatever actions I've taken, they were done so with an agenda."

Even if he may be the strongest Giant in the kingdom, it was only a matter of time before he was assassinated. It was a pity to lose someone strong like that.

Lith calculated Khimav's optimum destiny, and in a few seconds, came to a conclusion.

His eyes lowered to see Khimav, literally looking down at him.

"Are you willing to betray your race and come with me?"

Khimav's heart skipped a beat while Yvonne's hold on his hand tightened. She bit her lips hard and knew the situation was turning for the worse.

Khimav tried to calm his thumping heart and bowed.

"Milord, if I may, can I ask a question in regards to that?"

"Speak."

"Will... will I have to be separated from my wife?"

Lith chuckled internally hearing that.

'This guy... does he think i'm this interested in him?'

'The castle's lacking manpower. The Royal Servants are too busy these days. Why would I only recruit you and not your wife, when I have the opportunity?'

Even though Lith laughed internally, he kept a composed look on the outside.

With his hands behind his back, Lith asked, while still looking down at Khimav, "No. Your wife shall accompany you. I have work for the two of you."

Khimav and Yvonne sighed in relief. As long as they were together, they were fine with any hell they were put in.

The two knelt down again and thanked Lith for his grace.

The crowd behind wasn't able to hear any of the conversation that occurred here, starting from the time Khimav swore loyalty to Lith.

This was done so as to not foil the future plans and increase trouble for Khimav or Gunther.

Lith dismissed Khimav and his wife after the conversation. He asked them to take care of all the matters and be ready in a week.

The two agreed and left after thanking him once again.

Once they were gone and the crowd dispersed, Lith turned around to look at his aunt, who was staring at with visible surprise.

"Not bad. Not bad at all."

Mayzin was stingy with her compliments. This was the best one Lith had gotten so far.

Lith flashed his signature happy smile as he heard that.

"Since I aced the quest you gave me, don't I deserve rewards? And also, since I did it so magnificently, don't I deserve an extra bonus?"

Mayzin knitted her brows. Now this was something she didn't like.

Lith walked close to her, placed his hand on his chest and said, "Milady, thy loyal lover deserves a kiss for his accomplishments. We must now seal our mouths shut with thine lewd saliva."
