Chapter 973 Peace Has Gone
While on his way towards the teleportation circle, Lith was stopped by his personal maid, Luna. She was holding a tablet and a folder full of important doc.u.ments.
"What is it, Luna?"
"Your Highness…" Luna handed the tablet to Lith. "You must have a look at this."
Lith looked at the table, then frowned. There were clips of various places around the world, and everything was far too chaotic.
It was so much that Lith rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming. He wondered where he should even begin.
The whole world was on fire. Years of peace was lost due to Lith creating a spark, and that turning into a wildfire that spread everywhere.
The Vampire Continent wasn"t exempted from it either. Plebeian Vampires had teamed up and were attacking the n.o.ble houses. A lot of a.s.sa.s.sinations and killing had taken place in the past few decades.
Same was the case everywhere in the world. From a.s.sa.s.sinations to total annihilation, people were riled up and going after each other"s throats.
"I didn"t think things would develop to this degree so fast," Lith said.
Luna took out a few sheets from her folder and going through them, said, "The situation in the Vampire Continent is still under control. I believe His Highness should sort things out in the Neutral Continent first, then focus on the Vampire Continent."
Lith thought about this. He had to make a visit to his Demon aunt. She was in heat and consistently calling him while he was in secluded cultivation for the last six months. Delaying her further won"t do good for either party.
But on the other hand, the situation in the Neutral Continent was sensitive.
Jingmei Guild, which was a random carp three centuries ago, had suddenly turned into a mighty dragon that was challenging the World Adventurers a.s.sociation.
It was not even secretive, but an open challenge to such a huge organization that was made by the eight main races.
Many stated that there were better ways to commit suicide to Jingmei Guild, but the majority were actually rooting for them and wanted to see the a.s.sociation toppled.
The peaceful Neutral Continent was still the only place with some peace. Wars happening here were isolated to particular war zones, but in recent times, the number of war zones had increased because of the many conflicts taking place.
The Shadow River Sect that had been a random n.o.body as well was acting like a glutton, trying to devour everything it could in its vicinity.
The territory of the Shadow River Sect had enveloped the whole of Uklov. The CNC had sent many warnings to them, but with so many troubles popping up left and right, their attention was divided and the sect took advantage of that.
"Speaking of Uklov… Jenna should"ve reunited with her father by now. I"ll pay a visit to them when I go to Uklov."
Scrolling through the clips and news article, Lith found out that even the Abalax World Academy was attacked once.
Lith raised an eyebrow in surprise. Who dared to attack his wife"s workplace and his Alma Mater?
Going deeper into this information, it was some privately owned academy that thought it had enough might to challenge Abalax World Academy.
Needless to say, they couldn"t stand a chance against the academy. Not a single professor had to come out to attack them, the defensive artifacts and some students took care of it themselves.
It was a minor incident in the academy"s record.
Lith smiled and shook his head. His cute Angel wife might have not even glanced at these guys and was probably busy going through some papers, stressing out because they are too much.
Another noteworthy event in the Neutral Continent was the absence of Werewolf authorities.
It was said that there was too much internal friction in their society, so they would be taking a break from the CNC administration. Their absence resulted in open slots, but surprisingly, everyone else"s hands were tied and it was the Vampire administration that took the extra slots.
At present, the administration had shifted back to the Vampires and they would rule for the next four decades at the very least.
A team of Royal Servants was sent to the CNC to manage things. It was led by Arbour as usual and in the mix there was Vargaros.
"Wait, who"s Vargaros?" Lith asked Luna.
Luna professionally said in a neutral tone, "The green-haired child His Highness brought from one of his adventures."
"Ah…" Lith said. "Didn"t know Chonky had a name too."
"He does and it"s Vargaros," Luna repeated.
Lith chuckled. "What has he been up to lately?"
Luna"s nose wrinkled and she said, "Stealing candies and learning the art of stealth and combat… to continue stealing candies."
Lith laughed out loud.
ƈοm "Madam glanced at him once. He"s the strongest Demon in the castle, but is more useless than a b.u.t.terfly roaming in the Dark Rose Forest," Luna sneered. Apparently, she didn"t seem to like him.
"Oh, such strong words… I"m hearing you dislike someone for the first time," Lith said with interest.
Luna shook her head. "It"s not that I dislike him, but that he"s too useless. His ego is sealed to a toddler"s by a much powerful ent.i.ty. Most of the time, he retains his ego, but when he"s trying to do something useful or trying to scheme, the seal would turn up and make him either forget or divert his attention. And yes, not to mention, he constantly says "baat!" when he"s overstimulated or overwhelmed."
Lith smiled. "Interesting. I did know he was strong, but didn"t know he had such a backstory."
Luna rolled her eyes. "Your Highness, please bring someone useful next time. It"s okay if it"s someone of a lower realm. The girls you brought are very hardworking. They"ve been diligently managing the inner ring"s work and keeping it stable. Also, they"ve learnt to wear proper clothes and also help in managing work in the outer ring."
"That"s good to hear. But, what about their libido?" Lith asked.
Luna smiled. "You would be surprised to know it has turned to normal levels after they cultivated and absorbed a bit of elemental energies. My speculation is that their world"s energy was causing their libido to be on extreme levels."
"Amusing," Lith said.
Luna nodded. "They are like normal maids now. Their strength is actually equivalent to Half Saints and although it"s inferior to most maids, their brains are good enough to manage quite a few things."
"They"re working for the clan… hmm…" Lith pondered and rubbed his chin. He then squinted at Luna, his fierce gaze making her feel as if he was undressing her from head to toe. "If the maids I brought for my personal use are busy doing clan work, who will serve me?"
Luna laughed softly. "Don"t worry, Your Highness. I"ve ensured that their work could be handled by other maids at any given time, should you need them. And since they"re working, a few maids are free, which includes me."
Now this was a surprise. Lith walked closer to Luna and held her face with one hand, his thumb rubbing over her moist rosy lips.
"You"re free?" Lith peered into Luna"s red eyes and asked in a soft tone, which seemed seductive, but was really just Lith"s normal tone.
Luna"s body slightly trembled. "Yes, Your Highness. I"m your personal maid, I"m obliged to be available for you at all times when you"re here."
Lith chuckled. He let go of Luna, breaking the seductive atmosphere, and said, "That"s good. I"ve got a lot of business, and you"ll be doing the most helping. For now, I"ve decided to put everything on hold. I saw the clips and news, it seems urgent, but not urgent enough."
A lady in heat was a snake that mustn"t be rattled. Business with his aunt took greater priority than everything else. Lith wasn"t thinking with his little brother, and was fully rational when he made this decision.
As he had said, things were heated, but not heated enough that it needed his intervention. If something came up, he could manage it from the Demon Continent too.
Luna nodded in understanding.
Lith put the tablet in his s.p.a.ce ring and said, "Alright, dress me up and make sure there"s no scent other than mine on me. I need to be proper when visiting my aunt."
"Yes, Your Highness," Luna said and turned into a blurr. Her figure vanished from her spot and was back in place after a second.
Lith felt a slight tickle. Once Luna was in front of him, he looked at himself and found his clothes to be in much better condition than before.
"Good job," Lith said and gave Luna a thank you spank, making her jump, then have her lips curve into a faint smile.
Lith left the place and went to the teleportation circle. He vanished from the Royal Castle, and after having momentary darkness envelope him, found himself in a dimly lit hall.
"Welcome, Your Highness," a familiar voice greeted him.
Turning to the source, he saw a pink-haired beauty with seductive curves bowing and greeting him.
"Eh? Bella? Did the teleportation circle not work and I"m still in the castle?"
