Ruben’s punishment was done, and now it was time to decide the fate of these hundred people in the court.
The hundred people were slithering on the ground as if they were having a seizure, but they weren’t having a stroke.
They were merely tied up, and their ability to speak was sealed. So, they were trying their best to struggle and break free, hence their wriggling movements.
Lilith looked at them, and her amethyst eyes flashed a shade of red. Just after a split second, the reddish flash was gone.
As soon as it did, the people in the court heard a sizzling noise and could smell something burning.
It took them only a short time to figure out where it was coming from. Their eyes focused on one person among the desperately slithering hundred people on the ground.
This particular man wriggled as if salt had been put on a worm.
Everyone could see the head of the person start to melt away; despite that, he wasn’t dead.
The melting continued until even his hair, nails, and bones turned into a gooey puddle. In the end, only his core remained.
Lilith flicked her finger in the direction of the core. Instantly, the person who had died from melting was alive and well once again.
She then made the person stand up and removed the restrictions on him.
This person appeared to be in their late 40s and wore good-quality robes, indicating he was from a well-off background.
Lilith read the minds of the hundred people present. She was able to confirm that this was the person who had called her daughter incompetent.
Giving him a quick death meant letting him off easy. There was no way Lilith would allow such a thing.
While keeping him up, Lilith turned to face Ruben again and said, “These are the people who were cursing. You know what to do about them, right?”
Ruben nodded his head.
Lilith continued, “send me a video of them when you’re done.”
Ruben bowed and agreed with it.
Lilith was talking about torturing the people; the best person to do such a thing was a demon. There was only one person fit for such a job, and it was none other than Ruben.
After she decided the fate of those people, she turned her attention back to the person floating in mid-air before her.
Lilith leaned forwards and looked at the man with a calm expression. However, her calmness only scared the man more.
He had no idea what was happening; or why he was singled out.
He was relaxing in his home when he was pulled by something. Next thing he knew, he was in a dark place, his hands and legs tied, and he could see nothing nor hear anything.
Just a short while later, he felt a burning sensation, and the searing pain intensified with each passing second.
He wanted to scream, but he couldn’t. He wanted to die, but he couldn’t.
He felt his consciousness fade away, and finally, the pain ended. He was now back to normal.
Once his senses returned, he felt himself get up. He felt his restrictions were removed, and he looked around…
His hair from all over his body stood on their ends as he felt a chill down his spine.
He didn’t know where he was or who the people around were, but just looking at them and feeling their auras, he felt horrified.
But he felt the most scared when he looked up at the mighty throne.
A lady in a regal red dress was sitting atop a mighty throne. Behind her was a silver-crimson moon emitting its radiance. Despite the room having an overall dark theme, he could clearly see the lady’s face.
The man found the lady extremely beautiful but also terrifying at the same time. He couldn’t look at her face for more than a second as he felt a massive pressure on his soul.
This caused him to panic further and made him wonder what in the heavens he had done to invite her ire.
Looking at the guy who called Lucy incompetent, Lilith thought for a second about the best method to torture the guy.
After a few seconds of thinking, she decided to cage him in the Royal Prison and torture him for eternity.
Lilith swiped her finger to the right, in the direction of the prison. The man zoomed in that direction and disappeared from the court instantly.<.com>
Lilith then swiped her palm to the left, and the remaining people vanished. They had been teleported to a cage which Ruben would check later.
Finally cleaning up the mess, Lilith started talking about the things related to the new hierarchy again and discussed the venue and everything with the servants.
Sitting on the sidelines, Lith was starting to feel bored with all the discussion. But he didn’t show it on his face and continued to listen.
Finally, after a whole day’s worth of discussion, Lilith dismissed the servants and laid back on her throne to take a break and drink some tea.
Lith walked towards her and made her sit on the edge of her throne. He went behind her and started massaging her shoulders to make her feel relaxed.
While massaging his mother’s shoulder, Lith asked, “So, now that the banquet is being held outside, does that mean the castle won’t have any visitors?”
Lilith, having her eyes closed and sipping on some tea, said, “There won’t be anyone visiting other than friends and family.”
“I see. But the outer area is empty and can have visitors. You know, without any here, it’ll seem pretty lonely.” Lith put out his thoughts.
Lilith chuckled. She turned back to look him in the eyes and said with a smile, “You don’t have to worry. Once you grow up and make babies, the castle will be filled with their giggles and cries. It won’t seem lonely anymore.”
Hearing that, Lith joked, “Why wait for long? Let’s go make babies now.”
Lilith chuckled and pinched Lith’s nose. “I have lots of work. And you shouldn’t think about babies until you feel satisfied with your cultivation. Many neglect their children in pursuit of a greater dao and martial peak. Do you want to be someone like that?”
His mother’s words, although she appeared to be joking, were actually a great piece of advice in itself and contained profound meanings of life.
Replying to his mother, he shook his head and said, “I don’t want to. But instead of making babies, why don’t we enjoy the process and the art of babymaking?”
Lilith chuckled again. “Mama is busy for two more days. No time for doing anything naughty until then.”
“It’s a pity.” Lith sighed and said.
Lilith kissed Lith’s lips lightly and replied, “It indeed is.”
“Anyway, go prepare yourself for the banquet that’ll happen tomorrow. If you present yourself properly, you may even end up having all the noble vampire ladies in your bedroom for the night.” She giggled after saying so.
Lith rolled his eyes. Did he look like someone who wanted to sleep with strangers? He wasn’t living a life of debauchery or was a dual cultivator to do such things.
Lith kissed Lilith and said his goodbyes, eventually leaving the throne room.
As he moved out, he noticed there was someone following him. He looked back, only to see Luna, his personal maid, behind him.
He was about to strike up a conversation with her when he heard footsteps coming from the front.
Turning towards the front, Lith saw a lady donning purple robes, and a black pointy hat, walk towards him. She had red and blue eyes, and black hair cascaded down her shoulders. She was a fine-looking lady appearing in her early 30s.
Behind the lady was Qingyue, his mother’s personal maid, wearing a maid uniform that perfectly fit her curves.
Qingyue’s figure was slim and sleek. Her boobs may be petite, but her butt was ample and of the perfect shape, challenging even Luna, whose curves were the best of the best.
Despite the fantastic proportions of her curves, everything was hidden under the uniform. Even Lith had yet to get a good look under Qingyue’s uniform.
As for the lady wearing a pointy hat and baggy clothing, her curves and hourglass-like figure was still visible to Lith.
However, despite being surrounded by beauties, Lith didn’t eye them lustfully and just stood there without throwing them a second glance.
The lady with the pointy hat and Qingyue both bowed and greeted Lith as they reached near him.
“Greetings, Miss Hecate. What brings you here?” Lith recognized her face hidden by her hat once she was closer. However, he didn’t know that Hecate was called by his mother.
Hecate, firstly being called ‘Miss’ so politely and also by someone like Lith, who was the Prince and someone far above in status than her, felt happy internally.
Even after years of being out of touch, Lith was still so polite with her.
Not only that, he had become so handsome!
Even if he was so handsome, there didn’t seem to be any trace of arrogance in Lith.
Instead of replying to Lith, the Witch Queen couldn’t help but wonder:
‘Why is the Prince so nice?’
