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 commendable thing in itself. Such men 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 mercenaries, it was time 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 blame on them for killing the 12th Pillar."
Qingshan nodded her head in agreement. "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 come here." Lith instructed.
Qingshan nodded her head and immediately 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 me many things, from combat to elemental 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 something. "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 same 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 time since he last communicated with him. Now was the right time 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 transformed 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 time coming across him because usually, they stuck to the inner ring of the castle while Neo spent time with Noman in the outer ring.
Their amusement eventually died down as Lith began talking on other topics and diverted their attention.
She had so much free time that even after spending time 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 time on hand, Keith naturally compared her past to her present and thought of the future. She came to a conclusion that there were many bad men, but it was only in a coal mine that one found diamonds.
Lith was one of those rare diamonds, a man among men who didn't resort to pathetic cheap tactics to get women.
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 times, she knew that she would've killed him the moment 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 someone 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 seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive.
Like a good maid, Keith stood behind him and waited for the said people to come, and acted as his bodyguard, ready to protect him from any harm that may potentially come up.
