Chapter 1091 Misunderstandings (2)
Unaware of the chaos brewing back at home, Lith left Florencia"s place with Alexandra and Hecate. Once he took an exit from the door, he found himself in an alley, and walking a little further, he and the rest arrived at a busy street of Greenville City. The Mother of all Witches around the world lived in a separate dimension, the door of which was at multiple places. It was known only to a select few people and as Hecate was the favorite child, she was given access to the door closest to her office.
The door was at a shady place and as there weren"t any criminals or low life witches, none would try to hang out in an alley and definitely wouldn"t open a door in a suspicious place like that. Greenville City resembled New York from Earth. There were a lot of high rise buildings and flashy billboards everywhere. The only difference was that it wasn"t a concrete jungle and had lots and lots of greenery. The name Greenville City wasn"t just for show. "What does His Highness want me to do next?" Hecate asked while walking beside Lith. Alexandra had her arms locked with the lady Lith"s, and as this was a continent purely of women, such actions weren"t taboo or unsightly. It was quite common. "You should show us around," said Lith, smiling. "My wife and I would love some—"
Intense spatial fluctuations occurred right at this moment beside Lith and a shrill voice interrupted him.
"Yooouuuuuuuuu!"
Darkness flashed in front of Lith"s eyes and in the next moment, he found himself standing under a dark sky filled with crimson brilliance. In front of him was a mature, motherly lady, someone who was the absolute pinnacle of beauty — Lilith. Surrounding Lilith were Arya, Alea, Luna, Qingyue, and Freya.
"Look at me!" Lith heard a familiar voice. Turning to the source, he saw his sister, Lucy, giving him a death glare. "What"s going on…" Lith asked, dumbfounded. "That"s what I"d like to ask!" Lucy exclaimed. She was holding Lith by his robes" scuffle and seemed really p.i.s.sed. "Are you her child?" Lucy asked with knitted brows, pointing at Lilith. Lith was stupefied. What kind of question was this? No, first of all, why was his sister so angry? What happened?
Not getting an answer, Lucy"s mood turned sour. She held Lith"s chin and made him look at Lilith. "Her. Is she your mother or not?" Lith was completely taken aback. He could see his mother sighing and rubbing her temples while the maids behind her were smiling. There was also Alea who seemed to be deep in thought, and lastly,
Arya was back!
Lith hadn"t seen her in a long time and wanted to greet her, but given the predicament he was in, it seemed like he had to wait. Also, he wondered why Arya was looking at him with a confused gaze. Although she had her opaque gla.s.ses on, he could still feel the confusion she was in through her body language alone. That"s the level of understanding he had of her.
"Answer!" Lucy exclaimed, her tone slightly louder than before.
Lith snapped out of his thoughts and reflexively said, "Yeah, of course she is. Why would you ask such a stupid question?"
"…"
The maids, Alea, Arya, and even Lilith went silent. The maids covered their faces, their expressions reading: "Oh no…" Lith didn"t have to wait to understand why they made such a face. He could feel an intense bloodl.u.s.t coming from his side.
Turning to look at Lucy, this was the first time Lith had ever seen her so angry. He frowned and held her shoulders. "Big sis, what"s wrong—"
"Don"t you dare call me big sister!" Lucy snapped and raised her voice. She did not get physical as, at the end of the day, the girl in front of her was her mother and brother"s child. Hurting her was out of question as she was her family. Lucy held Lith"s collar and stared right into his eyes. "You… whatever your name is… I am not accepting you. Not now, at least. Don"t come near my sight for the next few decades otherwise…"
Lucy snorted and threatened Lith. Truly confused out of his wits, Lith turned to look at his mother, wondering what was up with his sister. Lilith sighed again and shook her head with a smile. She walked towards Lucy and held her shoulder.
"My dear, calm down, will you."
"No, I won"t—"
"Listen to me, my dear." Lilith held Lucy"s face with both her hands and stopped her from speaking. Her tone also got more motherly and warm, making Lucy feel comfortable and like a child, even though she was a proper adult now. "Calm yourself down for a second and look at who that is."
"What?"
Lilith didn"t explain and directly turned Lucy to face Lith. "Look at her," Lilith smiled. "Doesn"t she look oddly familiar?" Lucy felt irritated. What sort of question was this? "Of course she does! She"s your and little brother"s child. How can she not look like you two?"
"Eh?" Lith was dumbfounded. "What?"
"Ehhhhh?" Lith was shocked. He looked at his hands, then at himself, and then realized… he f.u.c.ked up!
"Son of a— never mind. I get what"s going on. You guys…"
Lith glared at his maids, then at his mother, and shot them a disappointed look. He then looked at Lucy and instead of explaining anything to her, took a step close to her and…
PAH!
"What!?!?" Lucy"s eyes widened in shock. Did this girl just…
"You idiot," Lith held Lucy"s face with one hand and squished it, making her appear like a fish. "How can you not make out who I am? And how did you even come to such an understanding?"
This statement caused a short-circuit in Lucy"s brain box, making her thoughts go blank momentarily. Initially she thought that her mother"s daughter had come up to her and spanked her a.s.s out of nowhere, but when she felt the way in which it was spanked, the force used, and the tone in which the girl spoke, it all seemed oddly familiar. Watching the fiasco, the one who caused all the misunderstanding, Arya, was getting highly suspicious. It was to the point that she had to remove her gla.s.ses and see things unfold with her own two eyes. Lilith felt it was enough playing around. She snapped her fingers and signaled Luna to get into action. Lith"s body flashed with a bright light and in an instant, the red witch robes were replaced by a fine black suit. "Ohhhhh!" Arya clapped her hands and exclaimed. It finally clicked her. "Huh?" Lucy blinked her eyes repeatedly and stared at Lith. "What?"
PAH!
"Ow!" Lucy felt a sharp pain run through her body as she got another hit. "Snap out of it." The situation finally became clear as she gained clarity and heard that deep, masculine voice of her husband. "…"
"Oh!" Alea clasped her hands. "So it was like that."
"My lady, it was always like that." Qingyue commented from the side. She couldn"t fathom how Alea could even misunderstand something she clearly had a clear idea of. This young lady"s thought process was difficult to gauge. It was best if she was left alone. Lucy, having understood what had transpired, felt her ears go red and covered her face. "What have you done…" She said softly. Everyone smiled at her response. Lith hugged her and while patting her back, looked at his mother. "You teased her a little too much, mom."
Lilith hugged the two and chuckled softly. "It seems like it."
Hugging Lith firmly, Lucy meekly said, "Seriously… I"ll kill you if you have children with anyone before me."
Lith chuckled nervously at the blatant threat while Lilith placed her chin over Lucy"s head and said, "He may have children with anyone, but my dear, you should know that, mama doesn"t plan to have anymore kids. You two are my whole world and enough for me."
Lith decided to use his right to remain silent on this one. Commenting anything would get him in trouble. A few seconds later, the Evure trio felt another pair of hands wrap around them. "Tch. Tch. I"m part of the family too now. How can you guys hug without me?" Arya said as she placed her arm around Lith and Lilith. "Me too! Me too! Alea wants a hug too!" Alea said and dashed to hug them as well. The group had a hearty laugh at the union and after a few minutes, Lith broke the hug and said, "Alright, I should get back now."
"Get back?" Arya asked. "Where?"
Lith pointed at the tablet in Qingyue"s hand. On the screen, Alexandra and Hecate were visible. They looked confused and were looking around, probably searching for Lith. "I was kidnapped against my wish. Alexandra must be worried. I should get her back."
"Oh." Arya nodded. "Yes, you should do that first."
She walked towards Lith and held his face. Giving him a peck on his lips, she said, "Don"t be late. It"s been a while since I"ve spent some alone time with you. We"re going on a date after this."
Lith raised his eyebrows in amus.e.m.e.nt while the rest of the ladies were baffled by the straightforwardness and shamelessness of Arya. For a second, everyone had forgotten what sort of personality Arya was. She never hid anything that was on her mind and was carefree. She was definitely more shameless than even Lucifer, who had reservations at times due to her pride and didn"t speak freely. "Wifey"s wish is my command." Lith smiled and kissed Arya back. "Have some tea with the rest, I"ll be back in a bit."
Saying so, Lith waved at Arya and the rest, and vanished from the spot, leaving for the Witch Continent again, unaware that he wasn"t disguised as a girl anymore.
