Chapter 823 Miwa’s Motto
The lady, Yexin, looking like a goth woman, was totally taken aback by Miwa's gestures.
Never once had she been treated this poorly after her ascension to Emperor Rank. Everyone revered and respected her, but now look at how things had turned out.
From her spiritual sense, she could feel Miwa not having much strength. She could easily take her down but the blonde butler standing across the hallway and the tall silver-haired man's auras really scared her.
They were terrifying to no end and Yexin knew she was doomed with the slightest negligence.
Yexin, a Human blessed with high intelligence, took all the right steps in this heated moment.
She didn't show aggression, she didn't try to intimidate Miwa, she didn't even bother cursing or appearing like a mighty Empress, despite being one.
Yexin cooperated really well and this surprised Lith, who was watching from the side.
No matter what anybody said or what the Humans did on an everyday basis, their survival skills were no joke. It was no wonder that they had survived till now.
Miwa asked whatever questions Lith had given her. They ranged from the catacomb to the disappearance of the noble Vampires.
Yexin truthfully answered everything she knew and snitched on the Humans. She did have plans for world domination, but at the end of the day, was smart enough to know that it was just a pipe dream and didn't actively take part in it like others.
The disappearance of the nobles was due to the warring faction. They wanted to create a strong hybrid and harness various spells that belonged to the Vampires.
They also tried to have as many babies as they could with such potent people, but the Vampires were a step ahead and refused to give their essence to recreate life.
Vampires had their pride and they felt themselves to be superior to Humans. It felt disgusting to breed with them and they would rather die than do this.
A lion never reproduced with a deer, that is, its prey.. In a similar fashion, the Vampires would never try out such a thing.
Though, if the Humans are first converted into Vampires, then that was a different thing. It was completely acceptable after that. But before, it was a big no.
Let alone having multiple babies, raising them and waiting for them to be strong individuals would take a lot of time. The Humans didn't have such patience and they eventually scrapped this idea.
The warring faction began focusing on harvesting traits from the Vampires and inheriting them by some forbidden techniques.
This was still in the trial and testing phase. What Lith had seen in the catacomb was exactly this.
Lith had arrived a bit early on the scene and the situation hadn't really escalated to a big degree. Only a few nobles had died so far and the experiments also didn't have proper conclusions or results.
Miwa had no clue what Yexin was spouting, but she continued to ask questions and have her answer them. She knew Lith was listening and she was doing it for him.
Miwa really just wanted to go back home and not be stuck with this idiot here.
It was so tiring to put up a haughty act and deal with Empress Yexin.
To be honest, Miwa never thought a day would come when she would have to bully the very person she revered so much.
Empress Yexin was far too big to even get a glimpse of. Miwa was a normal countryside girl and it was definitely not in her destiny to see such big shots.
However, with Lith coming into her life, it all changed.
Everything changed for the worse though.
It wasn't good. Miwa didn't like this. She didn't want to unnecessarily bully people.
Miwa was a kind girl and liked to help people, not torture or abuse them.
Though, knowing that the Humans had harmed the Vampires and Lith was here to seek answers to those, Miwa was cooperating. Had that not been the case, she wouldn't have questioned Yexin like this.
It was a solid fifteen minutes of question and answers.
Miwa's energy was draining and she couldn't keep this act up anymore. She turned to look at Lith and then gave him a tired look, stating she didn't want to do it anymore.
Lith simply did a light nod and made Miwa sigh in relief.
Miwa didn't say anything more and left the throne to get back to Lith
Once she reached there, Lith smiled and asked, "You sure are unafraid of the consequences. What will you do if Yexin comes to attack you later?"
Miwa shrugged in response. "No clue, honestly. The best I could do is fight her to death, that's about it."
Miwa was a firm believer of destiny. She had always followed the motto: 'Whatever happens, happens for the good.'
There was never a bad circumstance and whenever it got tough, it just meant that life wanted to teach you some lessons to turn you into a stronger and better person.
Miwa was thus not worried about anything.
Lith didn't know of this and in his mind, he was thinking of something else.
Lith was chuckling at Miwa's comment about her doing a death match with Yexin, but internally, he vowed to protect Miwa from any harm that may arise on her.
Miwa was his friend now. The same level as Dennis and Ralph, even though they had met a few days ago.
There were times when a person's personality and vibes just clicked with yours and this was one of those rare instances Lith went through.
Miwa was a strong lass, like really strong. She wasn't a crackhead like Dennis who just wanted to fight and also not someone like Ralph who was reserved at all times.
Miwa was curious, fun, kind, and her overall outlook on things was much different than these guys.
Miwa actually complimented the characters of him, Dennis, and Ralph. It was really beneficial to have her around and also really fun.
Nobody had mentioned it before, but the time they spent with Miwa in the city was really great.
Even though Ralph was annoyed and even though he showed it as if he didn't care, he actually enjoyed his time.
If even he enjoyed it, then Lith and Dennis were totally out of question.
Miwa hasn't accepted the trio yet, but it was not much of an issue. Lith had a gut feeling that Miwa would definitely not reject them.
In any case, this shorty was for sure a nice person and it was time to drop her off since her job here was done.
Lith firstly turned to Yexin and through Fei, conveyed her a message to not dare to spy on Miwa.
It was scary as is and Yexin had no plans to suicide by doing such a thing. She readily accepted it and breathed a sigh of relief when Lith and the rest vanished from her palace.
Lith dropped Miwa off in her town and left after handing her a basket full of rare chocolates for her good work.
These chocolates, their worth was enough to buy Miwa's mountain town at least a hundred times.
If Miwa were to know of this, she would definitely pass out in shock and never even dare to touch these chocolates.
Some things were thus better left unsaid and done with all of this, Lith went back home.
Once Lith was back, he went to his study along with Fei and, getting seated on his chair, asked her to massage his shoulders.
As Fei massaged him, Lith reclined back, closed his eyes and asked, "What's the status of those three, Fei?"
Lith was referring to his maids. Fanny, Keith, and Sylvia, to be precise.
Fei, with a neutral look on her face, said plainly, "They seemed to be restless. Just in a few days, they skimmed through the entirety of the Witch Continent but found nothing in regards to what Master had asked them of."
Lith had a hearty laugh at this. "It seems that I'll be having a peach spanking feast soon."
Fei rolled her eyes. "Master, why are you so obsessed with our butt? It's just a pair of flesh."
Hearing that, Lith turned to look up and smiling, asked, "You're saying that? Seriously? Of all people, you're the only one who's got no meat whatsoever. It hurts my hand when I hit your bones, you understand?"
Fei's face flushed slightly in embarrassment as she heard this. Her Master was bullying her yet again and she can't seem to understand why.
She had her reasons for being petite alright? Nothing could be done about it and there was no need to joke about it.
Fei couldn't help but ask in response to Lith's comment, "Master, you said that your hand hurts, then why do you still spank me? You should stop doing it."
Lith raised an eyebrow as he heard that. This girl… she sure was smart and quick witted with her answers.
Lith smirked and asked back, "Do you wanna know why?"
Fei nodded.
A devious smile appeared on Lith's face. "Alright then…"
It was at this moment, Fei felt something was off.
Right in the next instant, Fei felt her footing stumble and then unknowingly got placed on Lith's lap, in a really embarrassing position.
Surprised by this, she turned to Lith and asked, "M-M-Master…?"
